I am pretty sure it's not manipulation, no one, no sane person would accept such a thing just because someone broke their arm by saving you. There are limits to being indebted to someone. Guy is just in denial, or a naive idiot
It's not manipulation. Do Joon (uke) is experiencing an endless cycle of self sabotage lol. He tries to push seme away because he thinks he's not good enough even though they both know it's mutual. The 'blackmail' was just a way so uke could make excuses for himself to get close to seme despite not wanting to date.
To quote a line from Bloom into You:
"How can I love someone who loves something I hate"
I think their relationship will never progress until uke starts loving himself
yes i agree with you
Where's the manipulation ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
This example of good manipulation I mean manipulation isn't good anyway but I can accept this kind of manipulation bcs uke likes him back and it's obvious bcs if you want someone to stop following you... you'll do it, you'll try harder. He (uke) didn't so it's clear.
