have you ever been in a toxic relationship before hes not being nice that’s PART of the manipulation, acting like a sweet dependable person so that the victim becomes over reliant on you and isolates from everything else because “they only need you” hence why he tried making him quit so he’d lose his OWN source of income
Yes, I have been. After reading so many BLs where semes beat the shit out of ukes, chain them, cage them, shoot them, or even set up gang rapes just to torment them, I’m saying compared to those fictional men, he’s not that bad. I’m not excusing him or calling him sane, he’s clearly deeply unwell. I even said I’m wondering where it all comes from. Some kind of trauma, or maybe just messed up genes from one of his parents.
If Jaemin takes care of him, feeds him, gives him gifts, and just wants him back home soon…it’s controlling, sure, but not the worst. He’s not physically hurting him. I hope the rape doesn’t repeat now that they’re kinda together. This feels like a relationship tangled up with mental illness. Jaemin seems to have deep issues, not new ones either, stuff that’s been there since childhood. I wonder what his family life was like, and how much it shaped his mental state now.
