Everyone’s saying Jaekyung will beat Dan up, but he’s never thrown a fist at him besides the sparring match. I don’t think he really beats people up outside the ring unless they threaten him directly. When he’s punished Dan in the past, it was without real seriousness. He knew Dan wouldn’t leave him but he also was annoyed that Heesung was taking up his time, so he dominated Dan through sex. I don’t think he’ll rape Dan. If he truly does just take the bait and jumps to conclusions, he won’t even look at Dan, he’ll just kick him out. Jaekyung doesn’t seem to want sex unless the other party gives consent (or agrees to future consent for every sexual encounter) and doesn’t request sex from Dan if he’s in a bad mood, except when he was dropping weight and I think that was to replace the extreme discomfort of the weight loss.
Sex with Dan is usually a positive experience for Jaekyung. He thinks Dan’s reactions are fun and entertaining but now, given their current bad blood, he doesn’t want sex from Dan… or anyone probably. He’s scared about the upcoming match and we don’t know if he’s figured out the identity of Baek Jumin from his memories.
In conclusion, Dan and Jaekyung are having a sexual dry spell that neither will end until the misunderstandings are cleared up. I’m willing to bet that they won’t have sex again until the chasing arc. That’s how it went with BJ Alex anyway.
What happens next?
If Jaekyung doesn’t interrogate Dan, he’ll take the pictures to Team Black for advice. They won’t accuse Dan out of nowhere, so they’ll probably let him talk. Jaekyung is always a pisser, so he’ll just be sullen about Dan getting taken advantage of again. Which I’m also annoyed about. Because DAN GROW UP! Seriously! You’re 29 and you do nothing but reminisce your babyhood! Literally… how old was he in those images? 4? 5? Maybe?
Anyway, Dan needs to speak up if he doesn’t want others speaking for him. It’s like the aggressors knew that Dan and Jaekyung aren’t on good terms. Otherwise, given the pictures on Choi Gilseok’s (I think that’s his given name…) desk, anyone would think they had good communication. Is it a plot hole or intention? Perhaps it’s because Jaekyung and Dan aren’t seen together much anymore.
I really wonder how Jaekyung is going to deal with his jinx for the upcoming match, because I don’t see those two having sex for a minute.
