In nutshell zhenya rapes him here and then leave him to die somewhere befor that he tells him that ppl in korea probably want him dead. He is saved in the hospital he reunite with his real partner finds out ppl really want him dead back in korea and plans to take photos of Anastasia blueprint and then destroy it. He does just that. When he is running away zhenya catches him and rape him. Zhenya takes him to his own unhabited island then again rape him there are a lot of rape and violent sex there. They also play a lot of games which leads to better understanding each other characters. Taek joo escapes with zhenyas sisters help. In korea he is facing serious charges. Zhenya follows him to korea takes care of his mom help him solve the charges. They get together.
Yeah, taek joo actually mentions in the novel that he thinks he has Stockholm because he can’t stop thinking about Zhenya (I would too, it’s called trauma and nightmares)
Don’t listen to the people that will tell you Zhenya becomes a green flag (spoiler alert, he doesn’t. Maybe a slight red at best when he gets to Korea)
Reading the novel had my heart aching but I will say it’s more interesting than the real boring stories like Jinx, YEAH I SAID IT. JIXN IS BORING AS HELL AND HAS NO REASON FOR THAT MAN TO BE A BLACK FLAG.these guys playing mafia, jinx is boring and generic
Hell no zhenya is still a red flag the best way to describe them I think is that Zhenya is a lion and taek joo is lion tamer. I always felt like taek joo is managing Zhenya. But at least I can look at Zhenya as a slightly autistic super traumatized man and I would feel less hateful toward him, not justifying his actions, but the boxer guy in jinx ( forgot his name !) is just an asshole and the mc is a wet noodle. I much rather a MC like taek joo
it seems to be still in a long way so pls just spoil me idc its not like im gonna live tommorrow
