Comment by _ASH_ on A Tree Without Roots - Chapter 86

 i don't think it's stockholm sydrome. I think it's much more complicated than that. It's an abusive relationship tho. They've both acted toxic toward eo. And heeseo even raped taekyung many times... 
but it's really not stockholm syndrome bc taekyung already had feelings for heeseo before all this kidnap thing happened. he already was overly sympathetic towards heeseo. Looking over questionable things heeseo did and always forgiving him no matter what bc he felt responsible and guilty. 

But he genuinely cared for heeseo and loved him. 

and yes the whole sexual relationship started as a coercion/assault. a very twisted and obsessive and toxic relationship. Its not stockholm sydrome yall. Its worse actually. Its much more layered and sick.
