I don't get it what is happening?

What specifically dont you get? Ill see if i can help

Everything lol

imma do a small breakdown from what I understand and someone lemme know what I’m leaving out or getting wrong. mc’s adoptive mother killed ml’s mom or caused her death somehow but mc had no clue until just before the time skip. he’s not exposing her out of obligation cause she raised him and cared for him but she’s caught on that he knows so she ordered a hit on her adoptive son (mc) and wants to frame him and the ml kidnaps him because we in our Stockholm syndrome era. also the mc’s step-bro has a one sided crush on the mc which is why he doing a little Nancy drew one step

Ahhh I see, thanks
