A MESSAGE TO OUR TRIGGERED READERS

To all those who are attacking the story itself for portraying "rape" scenes.

Remember this is fiction? I hope you all do.
I've said this already in my other comment but there are really things you can't avoid happening in fiction. Because in fiction, everything is possible, and the portrayal of violence and other immoral or inhumane acts are just a few of these. Someone said this story contains rape. Did you know there also stories where characters fall for a murderer which is really twisted? Some even have characters who are cheating behind their lovers' back, portraying toxic relationships. I mean, we can't avoid it. It's what the authors wanted to write or speak about. Now, it is up to us whether we'll follow the things we see / read or not in real life. Also, I believe there's a "warning" or some sort of "18+" label here so we have been warned, right? I mean, we're all old enough to know what is right and what is wrong. We all have brains, we should use it.

Also, as far as I know and have observed, nobody is making jokes or taking rape (in real life) lightly here. This is fiction and the authors can portray whatever they want and it's up to the audience whether to like it or not. If you like it, then good for you. If you don't, you can always leave and find something else that suits your taste more. If you want fluff, go for it. If you want psychological-themed ones, go for it. Simple as that.

FICTION: If a reader of a fiction that contains sensitive or triggering contents enjoys the story, that's normal.
REALITY: If a reader of a fiction that contains sensitive or triggering contents enjoys real life events of the same sick story he/she has read or enacts the violence he/she has seen, that's when it'll become twisted and not right.

Fiction is fiction. Reality is reality. A lot of us are matured and old enough to know this but sadly there are still a few who find it hard to separate the two. I hope everybody understands and won't mix the two up again.

    I believe that most of the people who talk about the rape scenes that happened in the story are not really saying that you shouldn't enjoy the story because there is rape in it. Yeah, we all know it's fiction, but even in fiction there are real life situations, and people read and discuss about them. The issue in this comment section, is that there is a war between people who have a little bit of common sence and hyesung haters. Most of hyesung haters talk trash about him using the argument that Dojin is Hyesung's Husband or Dojin is sweet to him so he should accept and be happy about the forcefull sexual advances of Dojin, and I think they do believe it in real life, because I've met many people in real life who say this bullshit. And this triggers the rape discussions, and abortion discussions and so on .
    It's maybe the way the author wrote this story that's kind of ambiguous, even if some consider it as just porn. Most of the sexual scenes between Dojin and Hyesung, at least the ones where hyesung ends up really crying (I don't talk about this last chapter because we don't know yet why he's crying), you feel that it's serious when he cries, and then the next page she draws them with funny faces and Hyesung whining in a funny way. So you just don't know how to feel about it. Anyway, just enjoy the story as you said.
