If you compare how Incheol “hurts” Pyeonghwa to his other sexual partners or even his opponents in the boxing matches, there is a huge difference. After Pyeonghwa gets beat up in the ring, he leaves with scratches, bruises, and all sorts of open wounds. As opposed to Incheol, who knocks him out with one good punch. A punch that Pyeonghwa even feels refreshed from after waking up. Incheol chokes Pyeonghwa with his hands wrapped completely around his neck, squeezing so hard that Pyeonghwa’s eyes roll back. On the other hand, when Pyeonghwa’s sexual partners choke him during sex, (refer to chapter 16) they leave scratches from their nails digging into his neck. When Incheol punches Pyeonghwa in chapter 18, he aims solely for the side of his face and Pyeonghwa dazes and bleeds from the impact. He avoids his nose and teeth, making sure not to actually break anything despite being in a fit of rage. It’s as though he hurts him… but with care? And in chapter 15, when we see the flashbacks from Pyeonghwa’s POV, it’s all a mix of the tender and caring moments of Incheol (carrying him on his back, kissing him) as well as the moments where Incheol was rough with him (grabbing him by his shirt, choking him). For a hardcore masochist like Pyeonghwa, Incheol is practically the ideal partner, no? And not to mention, a handsome, older, and stronger man like Incheol is probably Pyeonghwa’s type to a T… It hasn’t happened yet, but I feel like Pyeonghwa is going to become almost obsessed with Incheol. He hits him and it quite literally does feel like a kiss lol.
