I can't forgive Taeju for the r@pe shortly after they first met. It left Euihyun bleeding and made him pass out. Also pushing a suicidal person into debt based s** slavery is just so cruel!
But I am glad that Taeju pretty quickly came to see Euihyun as non-disposable. The scene where he angrily took Euihyun to the brothel made me squirm. I was relieved that he didn't leave him there. At least Taeju isn't the type to let Euihyun be touched by other men. Or like some of the worst characters in Bl- actually hand him over to other men for fun. Bless Taeju's dad for being pretty normal, somehow? I think Taeju has a lot to make up for because he traumatized Euihyun so much. He was psychologically so fragile and Taeju really pushed him further. It's sad to me that Euihyun can't fathom being more to Taeju than a s** object but I blame that on Taeju. I wish Taeju would tell Euihyun that he's not just a s** object and he wants him as a person and that Euihyun would tell him that he actually wants love and care but is terrified.
Now that he knows he cares about Euihyun I hope he does a lot better. He's already showing concern about him getting hurt during s**. Unfortunately
Emotional dependency to that degree is dangerous. But I feel like Kwon and Taeju both use it to their advantage. I want them all to be honest so their relationships can be more equal and healthy.
