Well, as from the beginning, I didn't see ML as a red flag or rapist while most of readers saw him as a toxic red flag. (He never raped MC btw because he did s** with him according to their payment contract and he didn't only mistreated MC as a personal revenge, temper is a part of his original personality)
To me, from the beginning, ML is a yellow flag who got both red and green personalities

Yeps. I feel bad for Dan's situation, lucky for him to meet Mr Joo. I mean he's such a jerk but he never force him. Dan agree to had s*x in exchange for alotta money is a FACT. Ofc I hope he can treat Dan better, and the kiss in previous chap is the beginning.
@(๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ Niko I agree about Jaekyung not being rapist because they have a contract, and he gave Dan a chance to refuse before. Jaekyung revealed all of his demands and past history in the first place, so it's really up to Dan if he's going for it. Also, it's not Jaekyung's responsibility to care and meddle about Dan's affairs because they only have a contractual and physical relationship. They both have their needs and intention, and happen to benefit from each other (Jaekyung with Dan's body, and Dan with Jaekyung's money).
However, I still consider him as a red flag because of his temper (it's really scary, but gladly, this chapter proves that Jaekyung still have some sort of rationality, and won't just punch anyone unless you really provoked him) and very overbearing and domineering behavior (which causes a major power imbalance between them). Once that's fixed, Jaekyung will probably become the tsundere-type and a pouty brat with Dan.
Random thoughts: I can see that once Dan became comfortable with Jaekyung, he'll be like a warm sunshine (because I really see these two as a sunshine x grumpy troupe) that will fix Jaekyung's rough edges, and if I'm right, I believe Jaekyung will fall first without him knowing about it (then cue the classic jealousy arc).
