they literally took turns raping him and using him as an object for sexual gratification this entire time. not knowing who you’re having sex with, and the already dubious beginning, puts a sour taste in my mouth. this naive guy had his first time with these absolute losers and i hope next season is a complete, dominating switch in power and dynamics. i really dislike pairings of an mc being a pure victim and being naturally childish/innocent, and then completely screwed over by a sex addicted toxic hyper-masculine frat fucker. the undertones feel so pedophilic (born yesterday syndrome)
i only wish i didn’t see spoilers when this was in the early chapters because it makes the translated reveal less impactful

this is the type of toxicity i can’t stand in romance. where one person has all the power, resources, and LOVE from the mc already but they’re too psychotic and braindead to do something productive with all that. conscious, ongoing torment for fucking what?? he’s always going out of everyone’s way to make his “lover’s” life more difficult and painful than necessary like someone needs to a stab him a few times and get him begging and crying just for mc’s eyes to look at him.
and yes im still reading as soon as a chapter gets posted igdaf

the explicit intimacy between our two mc’s being hidden from our eyes and only showing the aftermath of the chase can represent their affection towards each other now. they are nothing but means to an end, a chase for a high. their connection with sex is ugly, distant, and cruel. it’s not even an act of genuine sexual gratification but them trying to feel alive and human, and seeking pleasure from the power taken or given. sex is far beyond the orgasm for them, it’s something that offers a social and mental benefit. they’ve lost themselves and haven’t been able to recover
and then the parallels of their self-mutilation and how they cope with life… the dreariness of it all as we see the lack of human connection despite the near-death fist fights, the sex, the meetings, and their day to day interactions. it’s all so dull and sad, their desperation drove them to a bloody life still colored in grey
dryhumping the pillow while smelling incheols jacket????? imagining the choking and his body again even after having non-stop one night stands???? LET HIM TOP YOU OLD MAN
next chapter is going to be the caretaking arc, let’s see where this yummy development takes us
