I wouldn't really consider it a side story though, not sure why they called it like this but this is actually an important part of the story since it's the first time we get to see ilay's thoughts and impressions about taeui from the very beginning, which will reflect directly on his actions on the next chapters.
Dude... The ml just beat the hell out of mc until he loses consciousness. I'm wondering HOW THE FUCK is this ml going to be the end game. Like, he's confident he did the right thing to the boy who's a third of his size.
Also, the author (numu) keeps sharing drawings of them being cute together like HE JUST PUNCHED THE MC SEVERAL TIMES boy might be deformed at this point, HOW THE HELL IS HE GONNA BE REDEEMED not even jaekyung from jinx would do some shit like that, the bar is so low it's reaching hell right now seriously
Does anyone in here is actually understanding the story so far without needing to reread it??? I'm not talking about the mysteries we have yet to solve in the future, but the informations we have so far, is anyone connecting the dots??? Because honestly I'm so confused. I feel every update I have to go back and reread at least one chapter and still I don't understand much?? I sware I'm not dumb, also I can understand english pretty well and I've seen some people lost as well
what i think i understand is that mieum’s father had kidnapped jitae in the past, mieum had saved him from getting beaten up, possibly
killed by his father. mieum’s had random flashbacks of jitae as a kid who was all wounded up, he was treating jitae’s
cuts and wounds before. they know each other from younger age, they were ‘friends’. maybe they went to the same school for a brief time because mieum has a school nametag of jitae’s club ‘buddy’
BITCH YOU DON'T EVEN SPEND A SINGLE PENNY BUYING A NEW GOD DAMN TEE AND BE PLANING TO GET A LOUIS VUITTON FOR A RICH ASSHOLE YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME IF YOU HAVE MONEY FOR THIS SHIT AT LEAST GO TO WALLMART OR A THRIFT STORE IDC THERE MUST BE A SALE OFF SOME WHERE T-SHIRT + HOODIE $15 BUCKS FOR FUCK'S SAKE KIM DAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN YOU LOOK HOMELESS BOY THIS GRAY SWEATER IS DISGUSTING PLEASE BURN IT DOWN TO THE GROUND NOW with all due respect.

Guys! I'm hunting for the novel link to start reading, but so far I have only found two websites.
First one is novel updates, but I can't find anywhere to click and actually start reading it (am I dumb?)
Second one is on AO3, but there's only 16 chapters and they aren't that long, so I'm wondering how come 16 chapters turned into +80 manhwa chapters (actually a lot more bcs there's still a lot to be adapted)
So, is that really right?? Is the manhwa giving us filler chapters?? Or maybe they're dragging the story?? Can someone please give me a light (and a reliable link too, if possible)?
For novel update, you have to make an account to be able to click the links, but there are only a few chapters there.

If you go here, go down to Passion 4 English, we're around chapter 2-4 there.
You're welcome (=・ω・=)
Wait, is xinlu really someone we should be concerned of??? I mean, what can he actually do? Cry out loud begging for permission to fuck tae's ass? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
He seems like the manipulative type to me.. While Ilay does and says whatever he likes, Xinlu tries to purposely appear harmless and hides his intentions.. Like the uncle once said- he has a hidden side of him
He's obviously kinda obsessed with Taeui just like Ilay.. He might go to any length to have him, even if it harms Tae in the process.. Who knows ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
I read it very long time ago that link is lost now , xinlu lost tae in a bazare where rehman will find him and take him to a villa where jeomg jae is , illy was angry because tae disappeared again and when he aees xinlu he beat him , he would have killed hil if gable wasn't there (gable and xinlu will be pair in future)
PEOPLE WHO READ THE NOVEL, HELP!
*SPOILER*
I know what happens in the future, about the 3 days's rape scene and zhenya living taekjoo to die (until the moment he's rescued), what I would like to know is: IS THERE ANY SIGN OF ACTUAL FEELINGS after that??? I'm not talking about cute fluffy love, I'm talking about zhenya realizing smh taekjoo is different or important for him and start to actually care about him in a VERY twisted and sick way.
Does something like this ever happen or in the novel, until now, he just couldn't care less if taekjoo dies or not??
From what I remember reading the novel, Zhenya didn’t rape Teakjoo for 3 days but all the sex happened in one night while Teakjoo was drugged (Zhenya didn’t drug him) in Sergei’s bedroom, this was what the Teakjoo was thinking that if a man gets held down for 3 days and gets raped for 3 days straight and 3 nights that he would die the blood and fluid would dry out. Zhenya left him alive at the side of the river on purpose it’s like he subconsciously wanted Teakjoo to survive, he knew his colleagues was tracking him down (he injected him with a sedative and acted like he was gonna cut off his finger but didn’t do it) at that stage in the novel I think even Zhenya didn’t understand why he didn’t just kill Teakjoo.
I think it’s after the bombing happens that Zhenya realises he feels some type of way towards Teakjoo (he felt excited/happy to find out that teakjoo has tracked him down and stroked back with an attack then he gets shocked of how he feels and he asks the post-mail man to strip naked and dance in front of him and questions himself why he isn’t turned on by any man other than Teakjoo) this is when his obsession with Teakjoo actually starts, you can see his feelings through his actions in the events afterwards (can’t spoil too much lol).
I personally love the novel it’s one hell of a ride till happy ending. Hope this helps!
This is a bit farther after but kind of.. spoilers !! A bit long
TLDR: Yes, and the details are below. Up until this point in the manhwa, he doesn’t care for Taekju. He’s just around him because he brings excitement to his life and because Taekju trusts him, he doesn’t want to kill him right away. He’s kind of toying with him right now. It’s a slow burn.
During the rape scene Zhenya tells Taekju of a story of an immortal man named Koshchei, a man with one weakness, and that story gives him clues of anastasia. Zhenya feels his life is boring without taekju and everything was grey and dull. Then theres an explosion, like the one in the hotel, except now in Bogandov’s mansion caused by Taekju piecing things together from the Koschei story. After that Taekju is kinda kidnapped by Zhenya and put on this isolated island with him, and thats where a lot of scenes that show Zhenya actuslly growing feelings for Taekju become prominent, in a bit of a twisted way. Taekju tries to escape by swimming, but the waters around the island almost kill him and Zhenya saves him, saying its annoying if he keeps trying to die or escape. (Like in an “It’s weird and annoying I care for you” kind of way.) They screw a lot there, consented or unconsented, and they began doinf activities like skiing or hunting together to pass time and in these scenes Zhenya is seen having fun in the novel and growing to care for Taekju. While Taekju is in captivity Zhenya would leave the island and come back with korean goods like ramen and kimchi for him. Towards the end of this arc, Zhenya almost kills Taekju by choking him. But after Taekju loses consciousness, Zhenya is shaking and sweating, frantically checking if he actually killed him and looking for a pulse. And when he finds he’s breathing, he kind of just leaves. I forgot to mention that Zhenya’s sister, Olga, is with them for half of the arc. She doesn’t really do anything weird, she’s kind and she’s just there. Olga helps Taekju escape, and he takes a self-made bomb with him. When Zhenya sees Taekju escaping he’s visibly anxious and calls out for him, saying something kinder than what he usually says ( I don’t remember what it was ) and then after Taekju doesn’t come back he says “Damnit, why won’t you come back when I say good things?” He rushed towards him when he was about to get on the helicopter and leave but Taekju used the bomb and Zhenya was hurt, but he still called our for Taekju while the plane was leaving. After this, Taekju left for Korea and Olga helped him with supplies. When he was leaving, Olga thought that Zhenya looked like Koschei, except his weakness was love.
OH MY GOOOOOOOOD GUYS THANK YOU SOOO MUCH I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!! That's exactly what I wanted to know! After I read on the comments section about zhenya living taekjoo to death after the rape, I felt helpless and thought it would be no fun if they never grow feelings for each other. I love a slow burn when crazy dudes realize their feelings and start to suffer over the obsession and guilt for the things they have done hmmm *chef kiss*
Anyways THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH!!!! I think I'm convinced I'm going to read the novel thanks to you guys! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶
