As someone that just read the 2nd novel, I have to say I grew such a fond understanding of Taekjoo and Zhenya now that I didn't think I would have. Now before I talk about why I like them (yes even Zhenya) this relationship would never work for real because let's be for real what Zhenya does to Taekjoo in Novel 1 is unforgivable (Mainly the SA) and I wish Manhwa's authors please just stop using it for shock purposes it's demeaning and honestly pointless. Zhenya could have done everything else he did and it would make sense or easily explained away and their development would still be just as solid and if anything way more believable.
Okay now that I said my peace for that...

Their relationship is something I've never seen done quite like this. It's not perfect and both men make mistakes and they argue at times (more in Novel 1 then in 2) but the way they always come back to one another is endearing to me. Like no one can fill that void except each other.

Now I won't go into spoilers (unless you want me to...you would have to ask me) but what I can say is Zhenya absolutely gets a slap in the face/reality check for the shit he does to Taekjoo in Novel 1. I wish it was explored longer, but what we get for his character choices and development is amazing to read. I was honestly shock to see the author actually try to show that what Zhenya chooses to do to Taekjoo in Novel 1 was horrible and he deserved the consequences.
Taekjoo himself also has character flaws that come to surface that I enjoyed and how those choices shift his life perspective and how he really wants to live in the end. Now it's nothing compared to the development of Zhenya as partner, but it's interesting to see how the author explains his choices, why he does what he does, and why in the end he chooses Zhenya even when he didn't have to.

As for Zhenya the conscious choices he makes at first come off as seemingly selfish, he disregards Taekjoo order to stay home and let him handle his "work", his way of understanding a situation is almost child-like (straight forward and lack of depth), but the more he explains his choices and why the more I realize he really just wants Taekjoo, he wants Taekjoo safe, home, alive and happy. Zhenya is truly like a loyal dog...he will do everything in his power to make sure Taekjoo eats, lives, and come home to him.
I hope it continues to be developed into a full Manhwa for the 2nd Novel as well because let me say a off handed remark...their chemistry is crazy! Taekjoo is so much more hungry for Zhenya...reading it had me ლ(´ڡ`ლ) lol

Sorry rambling but when I'm interested in something I have to get it off my chest. Would love to hear from anyone who may have also recently read the novel...also if it's about spoilers we can always chat separately.
