Sangwoo’s role in sexual interactions and possible trauma

Thanks to anon, I’ve just realized that Sangwoo might have a trauma linked specifically to oral sex. Remember their first sexual interaction in season 1? Bum suggests that he can suck him off, but Sangwoo refuses and asks him to use his hand instead. He needed time to warm up to the idea before bringing it up again and ask Bum to actually suck him off … Yes, it happens the following chapter but from Bum’s words it looks like at least a week passed between the two chapters. The only time where he truly panics  in season1 is also when Kim Seokho pressures him into giving him oral and literally pushes him down against his crotch, in a similar way of what happens in his nightmare with his mom/Bum. 

Sangwoo took his time to experiment with how far he can take sexual interaction with Bum in both an active and passive role. Besides kisses, all the occasions in which Sangwoo had a technically active role were … Not what you would expect, if you think about it:

- First sexual interaction: Bum suggests sucking him off, Sangwoo refuses and suggests to use his hand instead. He acts pretty passive for the whole scene. 

- First blowjob: Sangwoo seconds Bum’s wish. He asks if Bum wants to try it. Sangwoo is curious but not absolutely sure. This thought must have haunting his mind since their first sexual interaction. 

- Second blowjob: again, Sangwoo seconds Bum’s wish. He hadn’t planned to get intimate with him, he does it mostly to calm him down. Bum is the one causing Sangwoo to change his plans and makes him aroused by sharing his sexual fantasy. Thus, Sangwoo has a passive role in how this scene develops.

- Sex toy scene: Sangwoo is pretty sure Bum only likes him sexually. He seconds this and uses a sexual act to reward/punish him and his unwanted feelings. The fact that he uses a sex toy might imply that he didn’t feel comfortable enough yet to take actual, active party in sex.

- Mountain trip: here’s where Sangwoo starts to warm up to the idea of having an actual sexual relationship with Bum. While they’re getting to Jieun’s burial place, Sangwoo shyly touches Bum’s thighs and crotch for the very first time in a heartfelt way. He also gets quite affectionate afterwards in the bath.

- Bath scene: after Bum’s attempted suicide, Sangwoo suggests to have sex with Bum. Again, this does not put him in an active role, because he’s merely suggesting it to second what he believes to be Bum’s only wish, the only way he can fix any issue with him. He thinks affection cannot come without sex and that there’s no way Bum would bother liking him if he didn’t want him just sexually. 

- Last chapter of Season 2: I think it somehow mirrors the sex toy scene. He rapes him, again, to reward/punish him for his choice. The difference is that unlike last time, he was extremely angry, he probably wasn’t even thinking properly and he’s more comfortable with the idea of getting all sexual with Bum. He’s still in the mindset of “you wanted this, right? That’s why you’re still here, right?”, which still puts him in a kind of passive role in regards to Bum’s reasons/needs. 

Let’s not forget that what happens in this chapter (38) is led by a drunk Sangwoo. This means that he’s probably expressing himself, both sexually and not, more freely than he would had he been sober. Anyway, what happens is that, parallel-opposite to the mountain trip, he has now built enough confidence to actually touch and stroke Bum.  But, see, he’s apparently acting out one of Bum’s fantasies. He’s still seconding Bum’s sexual wishes, not his own.  This gives him, yet again, a passive role in the reality he’s leading.

I’m not sure what the ‘I win’ is about, but if it has anything to do with sex and with this theory, it might be something along these lines:

Sangwoo, despite having acted according to Bum’s sexual fantasies till that moment, suddenly stands up for himself and refuses to perform oral sex on him. In that moment, he puts himself above others’ sexual needs. But he doesn’t do it in a way that puts others in danger either (unlike what happened with Kim, or with whoever he had sex with and killed).

Given how much Bum reminds him of his own mother, it might mean that he finally managed to say ‘no’ to what he perceives as an abusive (sexual) request without having to kill/torture the other person, which is what he does everytime despite apparently regretting having done it with his mother.

There are only two times where Sangwoo refuses a sexual interaction from Bum: one time is when he punishes him by hanging him on the ceiling (so he refuses and gets violent, and he was already very mad because he thought Bum trying to escape proved that he didn’t love him after all); the other time is their very first sexual interaction, as I said. In this case, we can also draw a sort of parallel between these two scenes:

- The first time, Sangwoo doesn’t want Bum to suck him off and asks him to use his hands instead. - In Chapter 38, Sangwoo doesn’t want to suck Bum off and asks if he can use his hands instead.

I think this is pretty interesting, it might show a specific pattern linked to whatever sexual trauma he had.

Analysis: Killing Stalking chapter 37

First of all, sorry if I make any mistake typing this but I need to be quick and English isn’t my first language.

I re-read all KS chapters yesterday, so I could refresh my memory a little bit and maybe think about the plot more easily. And with this chapter I’ve gotten some conclusions.

Since the end of season 1, we have seen how Sangwoo has been getting more and more attached to Bum.

He prepared the murder for him, so they could be “together forever”, as he said when he though Bum scaped. 

Some shit happened, but we started seeing Woo making more plans with him (taking him to the shopping centre) until the suicide attempt happened.

We all realized how Sangwoo went fucking crazy when he though Bum was going to die. I think thats an important part that shows us how fond Woo is of Bummi now. Even tho, as always, he lost his fucking self control and tried to drown him. 

We should remember this event is probably no more than a week ago from the current chapter.

After all, Sangwoo started controlling Bum, taking him to work just in case he would try to kill himself again. He doesn’t want to lose him, although i can’t say that he “loves” him. Probably its just that he can’t love him because he doesn’t feel things as a normal person would, so love isn’t applicable for him neither Bum.

Then the police stuff happened, and Sagwoo got fucking mad again, raping Bum. He lost his self-control again. (Its funny how Bum always starts a new season with his fucking ass broken, lmao)

But, I think I can say that since chapter 36 we have gotten some character development. Yeah, I do think that Woo is trying to avoid getting caught again without knowing anything about Bummi, but I do also think that theres some genuine stuff on his behavior.

At this point I think Sangwoo is aware that Bum is someone important to him, and that he does really mean something. And in this pannel, we can actually see how he even doubts about YoonBum adoring him even when all this shit has happened. He may be scared of him leaving after all.

Probably the theme park adventure it’s just all about people seeing them together, that’s why he says Bum is so easygoing, but I do think he also realizes how Bum is still very “pure” and “weak” even tho he has tried to make him stronger with his advices. He needs to protect him, because YoonBum even dissociated in the haunted house.

Woo is more aware of his behavior as chapters go by, and thats why he has realized that he will keep losing self control over and over again.

He has finally found someone who will accept him after all, but he can’t change, he’s afraid of becoming like his father. 

He has already lived on a situation like that, an maybe he doesn’t want it to happen again. Maybe he doesn’t want to be the bad boy in their story.

He can’t protect him. His laugh doesn’t even look like his normal one on this panel.

When he’s about to drop the picture, he seems ready to let Bum go, but as he sees him he realizes he isn’t able to feel that calm as when he’s with him.

I could be adventurous and say that the thing Bum feels on the park isn’t rain, but Woo’s tear, but maybe its just rain. With the big fall probably Koogi want to represent how things are about to go down, and I thing its very curious how Woo tried to let Bum go when they started to fall. The calm before the storm, they say. 

In the last panel, Sangwoo looks comforted by Bummi’s words, so he doesn’t let him go. Maybe this is the time to finally learn about his past. Maybe this is the time to struggle, but not in the way we’re all used to.

Yes, I think Seungbae is going to get things more difficult for them, but this could be the perfect momento for Koogi to turn the tables and obligate Bum to be stronger, and Woo to show his weak points. Maybe this is the perfect time for deeper character development.

Bum being the big spoon may confirm that he’s gonna have to take the lead. Koogi bases a big part of the plot in symbolism, after all.

Hope you enjoyed my gay ass talk for a while, and see you next week. Feel free to add your own theory down there.

This was the funniest panel and no one can change my mind

[the-kind-sangwoo]

Sangwoo’s realization hurts my heart so damn much.

I think Sangwoo is at a point where he seriously fell in love with Bum but also knows that he can’t change who he is. He will hurt and torment Bum over and over again without hesitation. Yet he is too selfish to actually do anything about it.

I’m looking forward to the next chapters. I hope we get to see Sangwoo’s character grow a lot

Sangwoo sympathizing with bum

So this is the first chapter we’ve seen where sangwoo actually seems to really care for bum. He finally takes the time to understand bums emotions and feels in their relationship and it’s just weird???

First there’s the famous sorry scene when sangwoo actually genuinely apologizes for what he said. Bum wasn’t sad or mad or showed any distress yet sangwoo still apologized. This is really important because it’s the first time sangwoo is nice to bum not because bum is throwing a fit or affecting sangwoo, but just because sangwoo realizes he was being mean. Which means yes he is able to sympathize with other people and understand their emotions.

Secondly the THISSSS. For the first time sangwoo actually addresses how bum feels (or should feel) towards sangwoo. For the first two seasons all sangwoo did was focus on his feelings for and relationship to bum and seemed to not understand or not care about his bum felt about him (unless he was trying to escape or saying he loved him) Finally sangwoo seems invested in this relationship and sees it from both sides. I doubt it will last but this says a lot about his character.

Chapter 36 Dream Theory

In the first panels of Chapter 36 we see what appears to be a flashback, or at the very least, a manifestation of emotions or events from Sangwoo’s past. A young Sangwoo is shown kicking a soccer ball, before briefly pausing and turning to his mother. The demeanor of his mother is unquestionably odd. Throughout the panels she maintains a consistent posture, slumped downward and in some form of distress.

As Sangwoo witnesses this however, he does not stop to comfort her or come to her aid, instead he continues playing with the soccer ball. This can tell us one of two things. First off, it can show that Sangwoo’s famous apathy (or general uncaring) towards others has been an aspect of his personality since a very young age. Even towards his mother, whom we are shown is very important to him.

Secondly, it can show that his mother being in this state was not uncommon, and that as a child, this distance was his way of coping with it. Learning to turn a blind eye to misery could be one of the aspects responsible for his current attitude towards others and especially Bum.

In his dream, he revisits the sight of his distressed mother as a young adult (or teen?), and this time does the expected thing: he comforts her. He is even shown kissing her hand as he lays in her lap. Now in his later years he yearns for his mother’s presence. This scene could be referencing his possible regret for not doing more to comfort her. It is almost as if, he is expressing his love (or yearning) for what he has lost, and not turning away from it this time.

While comforting his mother, he turns to see her face. To us, it is completely obscured by black. But based on Sangwoo’s reaction, it struck quite a bit of unease as he is shown to be dripping sweat shortly after.

Suddenly an alley forms, trapping Sangwoo and his mother inside of it. It gives off the impression that Sangwoo feels trapped. His mother is blocking the only opening to the alley, so it is assumed that he is trapped by memories of his mother. He will be forced to face them, or else he will never get out.

Upon looking down, Sangwoo finds a knife at his feet, and clenches it in his hand. He then turns to find his mother has morphed into Bum, wearing his original “country whore” clothing, that initially reminded Sangwoo of his mother.

Oddly, Bum is seemingly aroused, stroking Sangwoo and panting. Sangwoo looks saddened, uncomfortable, and uncharacteristically submissive throughout the ordeal. Finally, Bum, who is holding Sangwoo to his abdomen asks, “Sangwoo, is mom disgusting?”

This hints strongly of some sort of possible sexual encounter that happened between Sangwoo and his mother. The fact that Bum, his current sexual partner, morphed into his mother, acting as a clear parallel between the two, asked a question that still hinted he was in his mother’s persona, says a lot. It suggests that an encounter did happen, and the mother knew it was wrong, Hence asking, “Is mom disgusting?”

Furthermore, Sangwoo lowering the knife as he sees Bum juxtaposed with his mother can speak to the idea of Sangwoo’s resistance to kill Bum because of their similarities. He feels not only trapped by his mother, but also by Bum alike. They are almost one in the same in this sense. Although his relationship with Bum is new completely territory, it is frighteningly familiar to him and his past.
