This could have been a 10/10 psychological and angsty story where they both have issues at home, wound and heal each other, ennemies to lovers/litc typa shit but noooooo he had to kidnap him and give him Stockholm Syndromwasted potential

To be fair he knows it's abuse and isn't really (fully) suffering from Stockholm syndrome. He was just trained as a kid to associate abuse for love, and by the looks of it the sexual nature of this situation (on top of the obsession the r*pist have with him) turned into a sick need for what little bit of acknowledgement he can get.

I understand mc but he didnt have to do all that lmao I'd hate you too ngl

I assume mc did it bcz he knows ml got treated pretty badly and want him to live more freely outside that hell which is why he give the recommendation paper and gold for him to build new life. Honestly there's nothing that can justify ml actions towards mc and from the spoilers mc it will escalate more and more

Obviously im not saying blonde guy is right for acting like this, I understand his hatred but no matter how betrayed someone would feel they should never do sht like this
And yh it's his pov but I'm 80% sure mc really said all this, like he was harsh on purpose to make sure blonde guy never comes back again like u said
THE FACE HE MADE AT THE END?!?!??! OH MY GOOOOD THIS IS EVERYTHINGGGGBRO WAS SO IMPRESSED HE FELL IN LOVE IM RIPPING MY HAIR RIGHT NOOOOOOW
