Other Than My Friend's Sister, Something Else - Ch. 9

[HaxtonFale]

Daun has treated her with nothing but respect and consideration,

Blackmail is neither respectful nor considerate.

Seula's discomfort and hesitance is partly because she is slowly becoming aware of her awakened feelings for someone other than Areum. And quite frankly, Duan is doing her a favor by being assertive and moving things forward, which will push her away from her tunnel focused obsession with Areum.

Forcing someone into discomfort and pushing through their hesitation is bad, actually.

Also, we haven't seen anything to show that Seula's love for Areum is anything other than unrequited and unjustified (the finance and his interactions with Areum have not been shown to speak of any mistreatment, which would help to justify Seula's claim that she can do better than him.)

So what? "Your love won't come true anyway" is not a reason to sexually harass someone, nor is it one to force them into another relationship.

You clearly don't care one single bit about what Seula wants or how she feels about the situation, you just want Daum to score so you come up with excuses to justify assault and deception.

Lol, what blackmail? I like how some of you Seula stans like to conveniently overlook how Seula exercised horrible judgement in initiating sexual activity with Daun (willful ignorance is never a good look on anyone). Thus, initiating this chain of events.

Second, Seula is not some innocent maiden here. If she was the beacon of virtuosity that many of you make her out to be, she would have womaned up and took responsibility for her actions to the other party. Instead, she choose to go on this delusional path of cowardice by hiding what she had done instead of owning it in front of Areum. Daun, simply gave her some options and Seula, a grown adult, chose this one. Nothing was stopping her making another choice—telling Areum herself.

Third, I have no reply to your second statement, other than me thinks the lady(?) doth project too much, and doesn't warrant a rebuttal, since your claim was never explicitly stated by Daun.

Fourth, you are right, Seula hasn't really given me much reason to root for her, given how her immature decision making directly started this whole sordid affair. And even if I entertain your perspective—as in Daun was blackmailing Seula, thus forcing her to stick around, how do you justify their second sexual encounter, after Daun explicitly stated that she no longer had to deal with her and that she would not tell her sister, on top of her being sober? The day after Seula is then shown choosing to engage in subsequent contact with Daun, which implies consent. Simply put, your reasoning does not hold up to scrutiny...

It sounds like what alot of the Seula crowd wants to do is simply dismiss Seula's behavior as an "innocent drunken mistake." However, if that is true, then one must also equally dismiss other sexual encounters initiated by drunken perpetrators as "innocent drunken mistakes" thus nullifying accountability. So my dear, are you sure that this is the hill you want to die on??

I was going to start writing a reply but I feel like it's not going to be productive. You have less than no sympathy for Seula because it's supposed to be oh-so-easy to confess to your lesbian crush that you've idolised for years, and refuse to entertain the idea that Daun may have played dirty.

I will say one more thing: I'm not going to uphold Seula as a paragon of virtue and integrity, but two wrongs don't make a right.

Whoever guaranteed that anything is supposed to be easy? Confessing your feelings like an adult is no exception. What I don't expect to be as easy though is laying best friend's sister and then squirrelling out of the ensuing drama intact. So again, I have no sympathy for Seula...yet.

Lastly, you're right—this is the internet so most convos aren't going to be productive. Good on you for wisely conserving your energy

Damn, as soon as it was starting to get good as a simple romance story... it had to get complicated. Ill say this now, maybe ill even read a bit more, but this definitely ruined for me. Theres a lot of ways to see what Daun said, but none of it seem good. At the very least, her kindness that made Seula let her in, literally and sexually, were all fake...
