@Thato Mashigo I appreciate the way you responded. I apologize for that offending you. Your comment triggered me, so those words came from a hurt place.
That aside, healthy debate accepted.
1. I never said Jaekyung threatened to beat Dan up if he didn't take the deal. I said he threatened to beat him up if he didn't go along with the s**. And he did. Please refer to chapter 3 (https://mangabuddy.com/jinx/chapter-3). Dan tells him that he changed his mind and can't go through with it, pushes him away multiple times, asks him to stop multiple times, and Jaekyung threatens him each time. He literally says shut up and take it. If you read a bit back to halfway through ch.2, you will see Dan get scared when Jaekyung roughs up the other guy he was sleeping with. He was afraid of Jae from the beginning.
2. You'll also see in ch.3 that Dan only had a little more than $5 in his bank account before the initial night with Jae. He was broke. He couldn't take care of himself, so yes, he was forced to take the deal because of that. It even takes you through his internal dilemma regarding his financial situation. Did he have a choice? Technically, yes. But if you think about it, he really didn't. Refusing would have meant being beaten and possibly killed for being unable to pay the loan sharks, his grandma possibly dying from not getting treatment, and him being hungry and homeless.
(Part 1 of 2. My comment was too long 🙃)
