Basically, what I could get from the rest of the story was Michael was jealous that someone else had touched him first. That's the feeling it gave off. I don't think it was ever really explained in words but when you piece the story together that's what I got
So basically, not a legit reason. Just the author throwing rapes and angst to make the story more "emotional".
Considering Michaels back story/family history..."jealousy" would be enough to push him to do it. It's definitely NOT a legit reason regardless, but ig it kinda made sense for the author to throw that in there
For my opinion, he wanted Sehyun to be the lowest/dirtiest person than him....Micheal felt that he's useless that even his mom won't accept him but try to deny it...by dirtying and making sehyun as a trash make him feel better knowing that there are someone else below him.
My opinion for the part where he blame sehyun when his friend rape him...I think michael has started feeling something for sehyun when he saw sehyun with a pastry person together plus where he started to fantasize sehyun after he feed sehyun the cake....He was trying to deny that he's been craving for sehyun but when he find out that sehyun have been raped by other people, he got twisted and blame sehyun for being a whore that would open his leg for other people and plus by blaming sehyun, he felt that sehyun is trashier than him.
So at the end, micheal doesn't love sehyun but needed someone that he think is a trash/useless beside him to make him feel better. He mistake that feeling as love.
I believe that these kind of people do exist in the world and I hope they get help and don't hurt other people.
Well this is just my opinion after reaching at the end, and btw if you haven't read the ending, its a happy ending but there are something lacking for me *sight*
This actually makes sense too. It's hard to have a clear answer since they don't actually tell us specifically in the story. We have to draw our own conclusions based on how we interpreted the information provided. I definitely don't think he loved Sehyun, maybe in the beginning he had started to love him, but since the rape entered the story...I can't think of anything other than jealousy and Michael having an extreme inferiority complex, pushing him to dominate Sehyun knowing that he is weaker. It's a good story regardless.
I stopped reading this story because it wasn't my cup of tea but i would like to know. Was it ever explained why : Michael blamed the uke when his psycho friend raped the uke in the flashback? (Like....bruh). And was it explained why after that, he just let everybody rape the uke?
The "i love you so ill rape you" trope is already retard enough. But this guy puts it to the next level and is like "i love you so please suffer. Bitch." And i was wondering if the author bothered to make a reason behind his actions or if this is all for the sake of pouring a shit ton of drama and rapes in the story.
