Part 1,
So when Taeui and Xinlu went to the market, ia famous market. Taeui asked Xinlu to give him some space to think. So Xinlu left him alone.
Then Taeui saw someone in a toy store, buying a mechanical box. It reminded him of his brother, Jaeui, who also used to like that kind of box. He looked at the person who was wearing a chadar (a covering shawl) and then he heard the person's voice. Taeui felt like it was his brother's.
He followed the person but they turned into an alley. Taeui called out his name and then someone punched him in the stomach. He fainted.
And Xinlu was still searching for Taeui in the market.
When Taeui woke up, he was in a palace/mansion (arabic royal palace) He saw his brother sitting there.They wished each other happy birthday.
Taeui asked Jaeui why he was there. Jaeui said he liked the place, it was peaceful (and nothing bad was happening to him) But he was confined so he couldn’t escape.
Then Taeui met Rahaman, the one keeping Jaeui there. Rahaman said he wouldn’t let them go unless Jaeui agreed to make a weapon for him. But Jaeui didn’t want to.
Every day, Rahaman would come and ask him the same question always politely, whether he’d changed his mind. If Jaeui said yes, Rahaman promised to give him anything he wanted and let him go. But Jaeui kept saying no.
Rahaman disliked Taeui and cold toward him. He was only kind and polite to Jaeui.
According to him, Taeui was ugly mediocre and ordinary (I didn’t like Rahaman’s character)
Rahaman even wanted to kill Taeui but Jaeui told him that if Taeui died, he would die too. (They’re somehow connected, if Taeui gets sick, Jaeui does too)
As for Jaeui’s character, I didn’t really like him either. He felt too robotic, I couldn’t connect with him.
Taeui was clearly so worried and emotional about finding his brother and Jaeui just… meh. Like he didn’t care at all (just my opinion)
Taeui wanted to escape. He told Jaeui that if he wanted to stay here, fine but he wanted to leave.
But the problem was, Rahaman wouldn’t let him go. Taeui also didn’t know where they were so he was completely lost.
He kept thinking about Ilay. He missed him.

Part 2
.

.
Taeui tricked a guard, stole his phone and called Ilay.
When the guards found out, they started chasing him. Taeui told Ilay he was at Rahaman’s place, that the building was really tall and he didn’t know exactly where he was. He also told Ilay that he liked him. And at the end, he asked Ilay if he liked him too… but before he could hear the answer, the guards caught him and started beating him.
Ilay conversation:
[“……—Damn it. It’ll be very difficult to get you out from the outside.”]
[“Taei. Do you want to get out of there?”]
[“‘But Taei. Remember this clearly. To make that happen, I will take back from you exactly as much as I have to put on the line.”]
[“Taei!……. Damn it…….. Do not hurt yourself without my permission!”]
[“How dare you hurt yourself like that! Damn it, how dare they chase you so recklessly……!”]
After that, Rahaman came in and told Taeui that Ilay had already gone back to his country. He also said Xinlu had been seriously beaten by Ilay. Rahaman said that Ilay attacked some Arabs just because they were Arab.
He told Taeui that Ilay couldn’t do anything here because this wasn’t his land and their company was just a low-level one (He didn’t say it exactly like that but he implied it)
Taeui felt kinda sad. He really thought Ilay would come for him but he had just left.
Later, Jaeui asked Taeui if he still wanted to escape. But Taeui said no because his brother had to make the weapon first.
Still, Jaeui made a blueprint for an anti-tank weapon. But when he asked Rahaman to let them go, Rahaman refused.
A few days later, there was a terrorist attack on the Saudi Arab royal family so Rahaman had to leave with his strongest guards.
Then a few days after that another attack happened, at the mansion where Taeui and Jaeui were being held.
The door opened and Xinlu showed up with his Chinese guards. Taeui was disappointed agai, Ilay wasn’t there.
But then he heard a motorcycle. It was Ilay, arriving with a missile (?) destroying the mansion with his mercenary friends.
Xinlu told Taeui to come with him but Taeui didn’t want to. So Xinlu knocked Jaeui out and Taeui had no choice but to go with him to protect his brother.
When Ilay saw Taeui he looked genuinely happy.
But then he saw Taeui getting into Xinlu’s car and went into a rage.
Ilay chased the car at full speed smashed the window and screamed for Taeui to come with him. Taeui shouted that he would come but Ilay couldn’t hear him because or loud motorcycle noise.
Then Xinlu pulled out a gun and shot Ilay. He fell.
And then Xinlu said he was blind in one ey because Ilay had beaten him (Ilay know Xinlu hadn’t kidnapped Taeui. He was just so furious and desperate that he attacked him anyway)
Taeui woke up later in a hotel (Xinlu knocked him him in the car) He saw news, there had been six suspects in the terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia and Ilay was one of them.
And there was Taeui’s photo in the news too. Taeui was horrified. How could he be a terrorist when he was the one locked up in Rahaman’s place?
So yeah… now both Ilay and Taeui are officially terrorists.
At the end, Taeui told Xinlu that he wouldn’t live with him. He said he was going back to Ilay.

Part 3,
.

.
.
.
Taeui couldn’t go to the airport (he was terrorist now) so he called Ilay but he wasn’t picking up. Then he called his uncle and asked him for fake passports. He said he wanted to meet Ilay.
His uncle warned him about Ilay but Taeui still insisted on going.
And Jaeui went to the UNHRDO to work there.
Taeui went to a bus stop and a taxi pulled up in front of him.
Ilay stepped out. He thought Taeui was trying to escape again.
He punched Taeui in the stomach, shoved his brand new gloves into Taeui’s mouth and dragged him to a hotel, where he fucked him.
Taeui couldn’t explain that he wasn’t running away, not with the gloves stuffed in his mouth.
Ilay told him he had worn the gloves because he wanted to kill him.
.
.
.
After that, Taeui went to Germany to live with Ilay in his house.
Oh also Taeui told Ilay that he would take care of him now, since Ilay was a terrorist and wouldn’t be able to get any work. He was basically unemployed. Ilay just nodded. Taeui's just a foolish boy… (hahaha)

Wanting to read this for a long time. I haven’t even started it yet (because of love traingle) but just found out the artist/author blocked me on Twitter T_T??

Okay but don’t hate me guys T_T
I’m not sure but I think,,, there were two incidents happened and I think many of you already know…
1. Euja (Low Tide in Twilight) I made a tweet saying "I’ll support an author who didn’t say poor people should disappear from the earth"
and posted two images me purchasing "Meatbun’s" novel "Case File Compendium"
That tweet ended up going a bit viral
2. And today I saw Shutline arrist was accusing Flashlight artist of having similarities between both manhwas...
So I made a tweet saying "Nothing is smiliar (plot, artstyle) and Flashlight ML looks better than Shutline ML… and called Shutline ML a hedgehog

Euja could have handled the “illegal reader” situation in a much better way but instead she completely forgot her morals and compassion.
Another manhwa artist [Don't Mix Business with Pleasure!] also made tweets addressing illegal readers but her attitude was calm and respectful unlike euja’s nasty behavior. Smh
Also I hope yll know meatbun (author of bab, yuwu, 2ha) she knows people read her novels illegally and doesn’t mind at all ♡ And guess what? I just ordered a her novel lol.
I’m not supporting euja anymore and will gladly read her stuff illegally

I’m really disappointed with Euja. I didn’t like the way she handled the "illegal" readers.
This manhwa literally portrays Euihyun as someone living in poverty so deep in debt that he wants to kill himself and then Euja, turns around and wishes death on poor people who can’t afford to pay for manhwa?? Like… make it make sense...

So I bought this novel 'cause it was cheap on Amazon but I received pirated version T﹏T and now Seven Seas is going to release it </3

My 2 vol. had "oceanpdf.com" written in last pages and that's a site known for illegally publishing novels so I'm 100% sure I received a pirated version.
"Peach Flower House" was the original publisher of Little Mushroom, but it's now closed. So if your copies was bought recently, there's a high chance it's pirated.
If you bought it over a year ago (before October 2024) then it's likely to be an original

OMG the cover is actually a Novel Cover! This manhwa is based on a novel and for anyone wanting the novel cover to match the manhwa art style,, lemme tell you, it’s not easy at all. A novel cover takes hours to make!
So be happy that we're getting manhwa adaptation

No fr novel covers always have this particular detailed style because it's a one time thing that artists were commissioning with!! Its not a serialised WEEKLY project that goes on 30 weeks until season finale hiatus and with a lot of panels per chapter. I think by now people should've learned that novel covers usually have this art style unlike actual webtoons that have a whole another usual art style
So I’ve read the novel. I didn’t like Jaeui, he’s way too emotionless. Like how much Taeui has to go through to find him and Jaeui is just… plain emotionless and robotic. Is it because he’s too genius or am I just too slow to understand his character?
Rahaman literally hates Taeui and Jaeui just… :]
Bro I don’t care if Rahaman is your love interest but Taeui is literally your twin brother.
And Rahaman,, I just hate him. His behavior toward Taeui… he literally said Taeui is dirty ugly and ordinary and also he was going to kill him if wasn't for Jaeui who would die if something happened to Taeui, because they are connected. Rahaman can't stand when Taeui talks to his brother Jaeui ://// smh
He even said Ilay can’t do anything with his “small” company or something like that.
Anyway I was so happy when Ilay destroyed that MF’s mansion and attacked Rahaman’s place... serves him right!!!
The funny thing is, Rahaman isn’t wearing Saudi Arabian attire, he’s more like in a Sherwani or Kurta (Muslim/Hindu attire lol)
Ohh and Rahaman kissed Taeui in Passion: DS lmaoooo (●'◡'●)ノ
Wait, why did he kiss him if he hates him??? Did he suddenly like him or something?
TRIGGER WARNING BITCH OMGG
TRIGGER WARNING
OMG
SUCH SPOILERS NOOOO
Spoiler alert...
No. It is not like that. They are in a very dark room when that happened. Rahman thought that the person he found is Jaeui. So he tried to kiss him right away, not knowingly it is Taeui all along. Taeui still remember Rahman's lips. Hahahaha! ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Ayoooo??? Its not that deep and don’t call me bitch?
AHSHWHWHWHW DESERVED HONESTLY I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO HOW THIS RAHMAN LOOKED BUT HE'S REALLY NOT GIVING
Tell me ilay knows abt that kisssss ε=ε=(ノ≧∇≦)ノ
Oh okay lol
