Real interesting how Payback continuously depicts all the ways the past has hardened Sun.
He has only bottomed once, and it's implied that he did it to feel something since he walks around numb to most things, and that something was most likely pain. He is in this pink fluffy bunny suit, yet all he wants is to feel, something.
Then, he imagines that Jay sexually assaults him because, to him, that's the only way Jay would want him. But not only that, it's the only way Sun thinks he is allowed to experience . . . pleasure? If he's forced into it.
Sun doesn't have a problem with posing nude for Pakin, nor does he seem to have an issue with possibly giving a man a blowjob at gunpoint to get out of a tough spot.
But a little peck on the cheek really gets to him.
And that's why I don't think Jay is trying to make Sun feel good as much as he is simply trying to make Sun feel. Anything. Period. Which probably means he'll do it by any means necessary since Sun doesn't react to sex being used as an exchange or a even a hand idly caressing the back of his neck because it's all par for the course, a means to an end.
And this is the end.
Sun took hits in that ring like he was being paid per punch because he understood what needed to be done to reach his target. Physical harm doesn't bother him because pain doesn't bother him. So either he feels nothing at all most of the time, or he feels pain. Those are his only two modes. Numbness and pain.
Sky is nice to him, but because Sky reminds Sun of his younger brother, he keeps him at a distance. Sun could have a friend, but he isn't here to make friends. He's not here to possibly lose another person when he's already lost so much. He's not here to possibly feel safe again, when it can all be taken away.
So how else would Jay get Sun to see anything beyond his plot for revenge? How would Jay get Sun to feel anything other than numbness when he is so hellbent on feeling nothing, and if he does, it's pain?
Once again, the story already told us through the fantasy sequence that Sun does want to feel something—pleasure.
He just has be forced.
