it's faaar worse than roses & champagne. at least the lawyer got medical treatment from the seme. other than the fact that both semes are blondes, the seme from r&c is just possessive & insecure. zhenya is the literal definition of a mafia boss.
HUGE SPOILERSSSS
zhenya rapes mc to death (barely breathing) & abandons him by a riverbank (this will happen in the upcoming chapter). his real partner finds mc & gets him to a hospital. he says that if he was even a little later in finding him, he would've already been dead. spoiler, his real partner is the guy he initially thought was zhenya & who "kidnapped" him on the helicopter. he was obviously trying to save him from zhenya.
things happen. zhenya finds him again & abducts him to be then raped 24/7 on zhenya's private island. which is basically impossible to escape with the extreme blizzards, waves & it's out of nowhere. a lot of things happen. zhenya strangles mc to death & zhenya's sister finds him unconscious. she gets him out of there. i think he heads back to korea after that & of course he's then a fugitive & is being hunted (his corrupt company wants him dead). it's been a while since i've read it, so i probably left chunks of info out. but this is pretty much the gist of it.

LMAOOOO ngl Stockholm syndrome was a big part of it but i def think it was a mix of that, the fact that taekjoo was in a predicament n needed zhenya's help more than anything so he was willing to accept any deal w him, another part also is their compatibility w each other which can be seen in their fights w others n how they work together so well together, this is mutual too cuz zhenya has someone aka taekjoo who can keep up w him and taekjoo has someone aka zhenya who can shape himself to fit his style of work too (〜 ̄△ ̄)〜

Did you read the extra in the novel? Taekjoo needs and knows he wants someone willing to put him first while he can't put them in the first place. For Taekjoo, his mother is no.1, then his work/country, the third place is Zhenya. They're compatible in their job and in bed, Taekjoo's moved because Zhenya leaves everything behind for him.
Can anyone tell me if it has rape between main couple? Cause it gives so much vibes like roses and champagne. I'm scared if it's heading that way
