I thought they were f buddies
Okay but I was talking about bj Alex cuz I don't remember it having a rape scene
Technically you're correct, there are no rape scenes in BJ Alex since both were under an agreement to have sex. Not only that, but Jiwon did snap out of it and stopped when Dong-Gyun voiced his discomfort. So even though Jiwon got a bit rough, he did stop.
I don't recall asking a question that needed answering, honestly. But to reply to you, I never mentioned how Nakyum is obligated to respond romantically to Seungho. The unrequited feelings Nakyum has towards In-Hun and the perpetual feeling of entrapment and worthlessness makes Nakyum's situation the exact hurdle Seungho has to win over. It's a story of someone who's used to getting anything he wanted meeting someone whose heart he'll never have. It's a story of a down-and-out artist who loves his teacher, but is forced to satiate a noble's lust. What else is left but to comment on the story's progress?
It's not Yaoi logic, it's entitlement. It's acknowledging the behavior of the era. It's logic from an era where a victim of rape was told "you have no right to complain," or "you should be honored." It's logic of the past, not modern day era. That's where a lot of you go wrong. You place 2020 logic in a story that takes place in the 18th century.
BJ Alex has rough sex in it, not rape. Both consented to have sex, but as soon as Dong-Gyun felt like it was too much, Jiwon stopped.
looks like Seungho realized his feelings earlier than I originally thought...
I mean, to kiss him as he slept and to investigate why Nakyum was acting the way he was is definitely the works of a man who's in love and wants to possess (and win) his heart.
Looks like this is the season where I find myself rooting for Seungho.
