First, some ppl in the comments need to chill. It's either "What Seungho did was rape and anyone who likes him or enjoys this manhwa are the worst!" or "Shut up you buzz kill! It's fiction! Who cares! He didn't rape him because NaKyum had a good time!"

How about we don't assume everyone who reads dark fiction is condoning it? Can we consider that fiction is sometimes the best, /safest/ place to enjoy and explore problematic and taboo aspects of society? Seungho is a psychotic individual whose personality and actions you can totally enjoy objectively w/o subjectively agreeing.

HOWEVER, people who don't like the rape aren't invalid either. Sure they're narrow-minded to group everyone together w/o considering WHY they like this manhwa and Suengho but lets not act like they crazy. A good part of the yaoi fandom (often young and ignorant ppl) do bend over backwards to deny various types of sexual assault, often because they don't think anything is rape unless its extremely violent and textbook. To some individuals yaoi does perpetuate their naivety about rape and rape culture.

Let not get it twisted, what's happening in chapter 21 is 100% rape. It doesn't matter if NaKyum enjoyed it, he would not have consented if he knew it was Suengho. The author made it pretty damn clear that that soju was Everclear potent and would leave anyone completely incoherent. The author was making it pretty obvious that he was black out drunk. Idk if y'all have ever been blackout drunk but your body goes on auto-pilot while being completely out of it. A shocking amount of rapes happens to victims who are blackout drunk. NaKyum is another victim of that.

Yes, I did enjoy the scene. That shit was beautifully drawn and passionate. No, I don't think Seungho was nice for giving him a "good time" because at the end of the day I know that, most likely, NaKyum will wake up knowing he was violated and feel pretty shitty about it. Unless the artist is one of those romanticize rape types, please lord I hope not! I really hope this goes into the twisted, obsessive love direction

    In chapter 19 here, when Nakyum went at the door where is Seungho, he called Seungho "Sir In Hun"; which shows that he thinks he sees the teacher.
    So yes, Seungho made love to him knowing it.
