the case with sooyoung and his ex was rape cause internal refusal ("no" in his monologue) still falls under it. not only that there was emotional manipulation involved. but with taesung's case people seem to be confused cause there's bdsm and kink themes in the plot so it makes it complex. but i think "no", in this sense, shouldn't be thought of in context. cause similarly to saying "yes" in the middle of sex out of pleasureable release, "no" can also be used.
Hm... I'm personally conflicted. It doesn't seem like rape, because he technically consented to it (in his mind?), but he did say no. It could be rape tho because if you think about it, his ex raped him too (there was never a clear consent whenever they did it), so maybe he sees this as "better than that", so maybe him just letting this happen is him being "used to it", so it is possibly rape. But I'm not 100% sure. It's pretty rapy but then again it's kinda not. It's a weird situation XD
