@male fujoshi and yes, it's still ra**. but like everything else, it's not black and white.
this is fiction, so i feel no qualms in analyzing how ra** was utilized in this story. if you are a type of person that says that ra** is ra** and you hate it no matter what, then just don't read for your own mental health.
there are plenty of stories/shows with ra** and I just drop it. either it made me too uncomfortable or i felt like the ra** was pointless and offered nothing besides seeming to sexualize the ra** and violence.
my point with seonho agreeing to the terms is to say that seonho didn't have to do it. he wasn't at gun point and threatened to be raped. nobody was targeting him. he put himself up to fight (when most people would choose to protect themselves). he was offered something in exchange and he willing accept it. is it still ra**? yes, but he agreed to it, so it becomes a blurred line.
in entertainment BL, there's sponsors who give resources in exchange for s** with new celebrities. other wise, they can't get any traction in the entertainment world. is that ra**? but both parties agreed even if one party abosolutely hates it. the lines are also blurred here.
in both situations, they don't have to agree to the terms. just like the people who offer it, don't have to offer it. they can ra** them if they want without an exchange or find someone else.
won gives no fu** about what anyone does around him. but he stepped in for seonho's body & person, and even offered to help blondie.
which is why i said, given the plot, characterization, and circumstances, the ra** is pretty mild. it's mild due to their characters being like this. won does not intend to be violent or ra** seonho. and seonho's personality is so stubborn and refuses to be broken.
