You can say he was faking it for the sake of the task but I don't think it was non consent. In the beginning of ths episode it was clearly shown that bison was worried that it would be too much for kant but kant kept on insisting him to carry on.
I wanted to love it but couldn't. It was going great till ep 7-8. I was enjoying all about it but then it went dowhill for me. Acting is damn good though.
A good bl after so many flops
