I don't get how ppl can say that the bottom is weird or anything for not running away. Most abuse victims stay with their abuser as horrible as it is. He is being manipulated by the dark haired f*ck, he made him think it's all his own fault and that he owes him now. It's a common pattern seen in real life. The mc is probably scared to leave outside of that because his abuser made made him completely dependent on him, he has nowhere to go even if he attempted to run away. But the thought probably didn't even cross his mind, because that is what manipulation does to someone. Not to mention how scared he must be for what the bas**** would do him, if he actually tried. H

@Imacrack I couldn't have said it better myself. Same with the manhwa "into the swamp". People criticize the bottom for doing what the top says not know how manipulation and trauma play a big role in the bottle m's mindset
