You're all singing the seme's praises for being borderline mental and possessive and cutti...

Never said pretty guys don't bottom in yaoi. But bara is another thing. In bara pretty guys are ALWAYS tops. Everytime you see a beefcake with short hair and bushy brows paired with a smaller pretty guy that's also always 100% a buff bottom and a pretty top. And that's literally because bara readers are into beefy guys surprise surprise who would have thought

So the fact that the seme because of uke's spirit took pity on him and kept him at his side in order to pay up (yeah right), never forces him to have sex, get pissed because he realized the boyfriend abused him to the point of mental breakdown and tries to help him. Giving him a home to stay and easy work to ease his pride and protect him from other thugs. Bring the doctor to help him and keeping him there to monitor him. All these are not worth mentioning to you. And the guy is not a frigging angel, he is mafia. If that is what bad people you owe money do this then bring me the papers to sign the loan

They are not even dating, it is an outright posesiveness and unfounded jealousy.

The MC used to live with the ex but decided to move out when the ex father discovered their relationship (not sure if voluntary or the father forces him to stay away). He didn't abuse the MC to the point of mental breakdown, in fact that is the first time he hit/hurt the MC physically (according to the MC's narrative). It's just that during that time, the ex is the only person the keeps him on holding onto life that is why that hurt the MC so much when the ex hit him (emotionally rather than physical).

The MC is afraid of his ex during that time but I don't think he hates him otherwise he will not put in the effort to stop the boss, also the ex still loves the MC during that time otherwise he will not told the MC to stop (because he thought that if he didn't stop the MC the boss might hurt him) despite knowing that his fingers will be cut off.

The boss action during that time is inhumane and uncalled for, given that the ex is practically civilian during that point (didn't have business with the gang). At the very least I don't think that the ex deserves to have his fingers cut off.

Are we reading the same manga? The ex was manipulative, sadistic and possessive. The uke was forced out and had to live with someone else for a month and the ex had angry sex with him. He clearly said to him " I will not permit you to leave me". At first chapters (after the injury) he says "I will help you if you ask it". If you love someone and you are in a relationship you ask them to beg for help (especially for health issues)? Be careful, he didn't say "I will help you, stay with me and let's be a couple". He said "just ask ". And then before the actual abuse he abused him sexually. He hadn't sex for sometime and the ex thrust him unprepared and hurt him. We clearly see that he was always treating him rough but he (the uke) accepted it because he was abused by his father and the ex was using both force but also sex and touch that the uke was starving for. So in a normal relationship you are ok with hitting because it was the first time? The reason the uke try to stop him is that he is a decent human being, not a yakuza that deals with issues using violence. But while he was beat up many times the thought of his boyfriend hitting him froze him and he begun to shake. The person that went full throttle to a gang of yakuza. So this is not a mental breakdown you think? At some point going there he even froze cause he was thinking had happened. Again, the guy that didn't give a shit if people punch him and was not phased when stabbed. Actually the seme should cut his dick. The ex was not "the possessive lover we all know from yaoi". He is a serial abuser. Just read other yaois. Does ukes have a panic attack after forceful sex with semes? No. And NEVER a seme punches several times the uke because he does not go back to them. Dear Lord did I really read "oh come on it was the first time he hit him?

The MC does not have panic attack after the sex, in fact he was actually able to hold casual conversation with the, it is only after the ex hit him that he gets traumatize. The MC said himself that they always had rough sex but that was the first time that he hit him.

The reason the was hurt so bad emotionally is because the ex is the only person that makes him feel that he mattered and his only reason for living, so when the ex hit him it hurt him more emotional than physical, he had a mental breakdown but it is not that the ex intendedly pushes him to be on that state.

Please note that the information that we have is complete incomparison to the characters so they are not aware of what is happening the other characters elsewhere. While we are aware that the MC was badly hurt emotionally when the ex hit him, we can actually say the same when the MC hits the ex but since the Manhwa only show us what the MC thinks the reader is not explicitly made aware of it.

Also it was the MC that hit the ex first, Im not saying that the ex is right in hitting the MC back but I don't think that it is a ground to have his fingers cut off.

Also in chapter 2, it shows that the MC still actually wants the ex.

Also it is not because the ex is abusing him that he left, it was because the ex's father (gym manager) caught them, the MC used to lived with them.

I disagree that the only reason that the MC tried to stop the boss is because he is simply a decent human being.

I think we are reading the same manhwa but it would seem that you missed some key items or got confused on the order of the events.

Actually all semes in this work is posessive and manipulative, the boss treats the MC as his posession and he takes away everything that the MC have and give him another thing to make the MC dependent on him, the same goes for Minhyuk but it has not happened yet.

I am sorry do you actually read what you are writing before posting? A) You are telling me now that indeed he suffered a mental breakdown due to his ex's action but the ex didn't mean to do that (poor him) B) the mc does not hit the ex for the fun of it, he tries to push him when forced in a corner. Cause everyone has the right to react to abusive words or abusive sex and fight back C) Poor ex, how about his feelings when Uke slapped him? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? The uke slapped him because he called him a whore that spreads his legs for his boss and the reaction is for him to start punching him untill he bleeds and falls to the ground and then grab him by the hair and punch him until he agrees to come live with him and you are ok with it and even cares about poor beater's feelings? "Oh he got slapped in the face once oh my God is he ever going to recover? The uke deserved all the beating for daring to slap him after he called him a whore". It is like I am a man, I call a woman that does not want to date me a whore and a slut, she slaps my face and then I punch her living daylights until she bleeds and lying on the floor cause she dares to slap me. I am sorry but you arguments make you a true advocate of wife beaters and I really do not like to converse with those kind of people and their supporters. I do not have to say that the stronger party even if the weaker one acts wrongly should never resort to violence. And yeah especially if you are the victim of family abuse you cannot really pinpoint and avoid domestic abuse just like that, and you may have feelings for the abuser due to your tragic past. And while in all seriousness I am in favor for respecting the law and not taking matters to own hands that guy, inside that fictional word deserved more. I think he got it lightly. Is losing a finger a grave punishment for his crimes? Not really. He punches and rapes. And I am not the delicate snowflake that yells "raaaaape omg" at yaois. That ex (that kicked the butt out of a guy at the gym just cause he had a happy love life and the ex was pissed but hey you really let this one fall, it is ok, people getting beaten up to unconsciousness happens at gyms) is really the scum of the earth

A) Yes, he suffered a mental breakdown but not because the ex continuously abuse him but because he never thought that the ex will hit him (and more than physical it hurt him emotionally)
B) I didn't say that the MC hits his ex for fun don't twist my words this is an obvious case of a straw man fallacy, they are in the middle of a heated argument and he got pissed of that the ex told him that he spread his legs for the boss, nevertheless he hit the ex first.
C) I am saying this as is a possibility, while the MC is hurt more emotionally than physically it might also be the case for the ex.

Also, I have laid out the facts and explanations as logical and objective as possible but you simply resort to Ad Hominem, you don't even know me and dare to call me an advocate of wife beaters? I don't think you even read my argument and the pages of the Manhwa I have posted.

Hopefully when you hurt someone, they won't cut your fingers off.

yo sister get off my dick, i know what bara is and you should in turn know that if a bl has muscular characters it ends being tagged as bara anyway. Don't yell at me for that, it's what everyone's doing. Now you can pretend you don't get what I mean and point out the ''ActUaL dEFinTIon oF BarA'' again or you can just look around and see that bara is what people use to identify beefy characters, EVEN THO it's technically wrong. And to add to what i was saying before about ''bara'' not having pretty men bottom, it's bc people never tag bara if only the seme is big and muscular, but almost always tag bara if the bottom is, even if the top is small. Ye it's incorrect terminology. Do i care? Not really, it's not that deep lol

yeah no those are basic human rights you're describing pal. And he's not ''giving him a place to stay'' he gave him an ultimatum between well, getting raped or working for him. Dude also had no choice in staying or not, and mafia guy had no right getting pissed and jealous about someone he's not with. Also yea sure he called the doctor...but he's also the one who dicked him into a half coma out of entitled jealousy. And this doesn't mean I prefer the roomate, everyone is utter trash right now. Mafia guy is the only one trying to change so he's got that going for him, but you guys seem to think you need to sugarcoat everything they do in order to like a character and that's just dumb lol
