Gladto see everyone is alarmed at this conspiracy to keep MC in the dark. Do they not consider how relieved he might be to know he can be himself and they accept him? That it might actually lift a huge burden? And that he might feel betrayed if he finds out they were hiding it from him?
Kinda concerned that so many people seem to not understand that coercion is sexual assault...? And that consenting to one sexual act doesn't mean you're consenting to all of them?
There is no "consent" in this BL.
It's blackmail, gaslighting, manipulation + 100 other red flags from the very beginning..
In rl, yes, consenting to one act means consenting to that one act only.
But in this BL, it's 'businesemen' mentality. That is they want profit, not common sense, not moral ethics.
You didn't think I'd do it only once right ?
You didn't think I'd do only sex right ?
So on and on..
Nanjo-sshi has an APPARENT choice to walk out of this arrangement any time. ANYTIME. It looks to me the uke is a goody two shoes who has troubles saying NO to others..
Even after this he'll continue to meet the seme.. And indulge him even..
Little by little.. So far he has only said NO to kissing, nothing else.
it's sad how it usually is like that in BL and more times than not you will stumble upon a good BL where consent is in place and no grape, but bc its such a rare find I think most ppl and I speak for my self that you kinda close your eyes to it and don't take it that close to heart bc it is what's in the market since we started reading, which is extremely sad and not right but bc there such a small storage of BL without it your start too look past it, until its something you can't look past.
Ahhh I'm bummed Nana feels that way! I mean, it's written well, it just would've been nice to have a close friendship that's just platonic
Me toooo, she’s a cutie but I wish this stayed platonic in the first place instead of her liking him and getting turned down just so the plot would point out that ml isn’t just picking mc cause a female option turned him down etc, otherwise their friendship was cute
My expectations were low based on the title but this is so good & cute
Wow look at him checking for consent at every step! Set the standard, king
I have no clue how media works in Korea but as someone who does basically this same job in North America I can tell you it doesn't work that way here. For one thing, interns write stories every day - that’s literally what they're there for. There are also lots of steps and checks you would need to go through before publishing an article like the one they're describing
it’s pretty much the same, interns are gonna be treated like dirt wherever they are and if they’re lucky they’ll end up with a company that actually cares
This is such a common trope but never in my life have I even considered changing someone's clothes while they were sleeping/drunk/unconscious
Yess, that is so werid???
RIGHT?
Not the foreshadowing
