I think Minhyunk has just had a rough childhood or something. I think he can feel stuff but doesn’t know what it is or he has never felt like this before so he doesn’t know what it is. I mean in some ways I can relate to him but I have never laid a hand on them or forced them to do nothing they didn’t want to do. But I do agree with what you are saying

tw// rape, rough sex, BDSM
I have the same thoughts as well.
Maybe (??) their dialogues weren't enough to show that this webtoon has BDSM inclinations with it because most of the dialogues by SY would almost be crying and don't know what he is doing making it look like he's getting raped WHICH IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE TO READ. Not gonna lie but reading SY panting over and over again and kept pleading to stop when they're having sex...was very uncomfortable to read. However, I think the both of them haven't realized that they have these traits.
Up to this chapter, things weren't really clear about what they're relationship is/going to be because TS wants to be gentle with SY and approach him slowly but he's actually doing the exact opposite. And maybe after the author comes back after three months of hiatus maybe we'll understand more of their relationship this is just my opinion after reading the raws.
Minhyuk, too. He also has some BDSM traits in him +++ he doesn't recognize what he's feeling towards SY. He, too, wants to dominate SY but I think he's skeptical about it since SY is his boss's lover.

Yeah. I think Minhyuk likes SY because he reminds him of someone. SY was trying to protect him in the beginning and he probably just wants someone who... idk how to put it into words. But he what’s what SY and the boss have. They obviously care about each other/have feelings for each other and Minhyuk doesn’t understand what those feelings are.
Also, love it when Minhyuk doesn’t rape SY. Not a fan of what he did to him when he was drunk but it could’ve been a lot worse

Have you read the spanking episode yet? It's only until then that I realized the BDSM vibe of this manhwa. And then few episodes later when TS sits on his couch remembering SY while they were having sex and he was touching him tenderly. He thought something like: "I want to protect you and keep you by my side". So clearly, he fell for him badly but he can't help being kinky at sex! And SY also keeps craving for TS being near him and touching him. That's what he says in his monologues. It seems he is just confused with how TS is intense during sex so he labels these stuff of being "weird".
I read the raws up to the very last chapter of the season and I realized some stuff (no major spoilers just observations):
- Tae-Seung is really in love with Soo-Young. I first denied this fact because he kept being rough with him, especially during sex which was pretty confusing. But then as chapters go by, you'll realize this story has BDSM inclination. I don't know how I missed this point from the beginning while the cover of this manhwa is literally SY naked and on the floor under TS shoes. Could the author make it more obvious than this? It's a clear evidence of submission/domination type of (sexual) interaction. The sooner we understand/accept this, the better we'll enjoy this manhwa.
- Minhyunk is also in love with Soo-Young but he is a psychopath. I mean, no bad connotation here, just facts. I am talking from a clinical point of view: he has all the characteristics of a psycho. Cold, emotionless and does not know what love is. When he faces a dangerous situation, he acts like a cold murderer: 0 emotions involved. He can kill you with a smile on his face. He fell for SY but has no idea what the hell he is feeling. He keeps being an asshole to his lover and treats him like shit while wanting to be around SY. He keeps asking himself why he feels that way. He reminds me of Kang Mu from the manhwa The Beast Must Die. So I learned to like him. Deep inside, he is not a mean guy. He is just sick somehow. I like that the characters have different layers in their personalities. If I wanted only cute stuff, I would just read other manhwas. Just my opinion!
