hmm we may have reached a transitional point in the story but i dont think its getting too boring ( well, at least its not incoherent ) authors accustomed us w the romanticized toxic trope and never made their characters question it ( personally i find that more boring ) but Jeongmin and Siyhun used their brains, they understood that if they dont heal their traumas they obviously gonna fuck up their future with no one to blame anymore at some point but them
yeah basically and this is coming from someone who into bdsm, when your husband or wife dont stop despite being told to that is called marital rape ( or just rape for non married couple ) if there's kinky plays but no safe words that mean we are in "default settings" so a no is a no, its not a "maybe", its not a "please harder" its a no until both party agree on a safe word other than a vocal refusal. I know that romanticising rape culture is so rampant on every medium that yall want to normalize it but i promise yall can keep reading whatever adult shit yall want without gaslitghing yourselves and lowering your standards all the way down to hell
