Unpopular opinion: people seriously like to pretend that Yeonjo never did anything wrong but like he tried to kill a high ranking officer idk what he expected, that Heeryang would just kill him after it’s been obvious he clearly likes his body? I fear it was common sense that he’d keep him alive as a sexual outlet… I absolutely love grovel but I don’t think it feels right to me if Heeryang grovels for this
My ideal would’ve been that Heeryang sacrifices his life to protect Yeonjo as his “apology” (but he doesn’t actually die but Yeonjo thinks he does), and then there’s that angst that Yeonjo realizes he loves him
