jinyoung: familiarity means jihan can fall back to jinyoung. chapter 31 showed this. jihan is also familiar with rejecting jinyoung and has 0 feelings for him. so returning to jinyoung when jihan still has the trauma is easy.
heeseop: he has essentially done nothing wrong and jihan is the “bad” guy for rejecting heeseop. for this relationship to work, jihan has to get over his trauma to acknowledge his attraction and fully reciprocate heeseop’s feelings
seongbin: jihan needs to meet seongbin again to get over his trauma. coming to peace with what happened allows jihan to like heeseop back
basically….
seongbin is used as plot device. he created the trauma for mc aka the issue in this entire story
jinyoung or jihan being with jinyoung is used to show the past and trauma affects jihan. jinyoung isn’t even a second ml anymore since jihan doesn’t have feelings at all
lastly heeseop is the aftermath of getting over the trauma. he is there to help undo mc’s trauma and be endgame, which is a telling sign the issue is over.

i remember i picked up this manhwa thinking nothing much of it. in fact nobody did. it was all just sex scenes. but at some point things changed, and the plot has actually thickened who gaf about the sex anymore

Yea I’m VERY Surprised by the comments here!! I’m definitely gonna give it another chance. I’m not someone that gets triggered by rape, especially in BL as it seems most contain it. But at same time after 16 chapters of just that I was like meh! Although does seem by comments I should let it cook a little longer, all these guesses about some letters etc! I’d hate to binge 30+ chapters just to be left hanging!! so leaving it bookmarked at 16 for now and see y’all ina few more weeks! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
