You're probably referring to Kristoff Tarten? If I'm not mistaken, Tartens are like family friend/business partner? They are the T in T&R (Tarten & Riegrow)
Someone come correct me if I'm wrong, I haven't read Diaphonic Symphonia yet. XD
No YOU correct me, cause what is Doaphonic Sumphonic? Lool please give me context.
And yes that, I spelt it wrong. Kristoff it is but autocorrect switched it to Kristoffer. I was just wondering who this person is because a lot were talking about his beauty, how beautiful is he? Does the novel describe his features?
Remind me of what T&R group is, I haven’t read PASSION in a while. Ilay is in that right? He’s a Riegrow?
It's ' Diaphonic Symphonia' it's another part of the novel(2nd 3rd? Idr) it's content abt other side couple with little glimpse of illay/tae here n there
so it’s either kristoff/christophe (take your pick lmao) but also chris (and christina occasionally lol)
he’s the bottom in the second couple that’s in the sequel to passion, which is called diaphonic symphonia. you know how riegrow is the R in T&R? well the T is for the tarten family, which christophe is part of. he was a potential candidate to be the next head of the tarten family but he gave up half way. richard (the top in the second couple) is the actual follow up successor.
and yes christophe is very very very beautiful, in the text he’s described as a work of art + he looks like a doll (think platinum blonde hair, big blue eyes, long lashes, marble skin, etc). ilay says something along the lines of “its hard to find other people attractive after getting used to christophe’s face” (don’t worry ilay has no actually attraction toward christophe and vice versa) and even taeui finds himself mesmerized by his beauty (lmfao taeui briefly for a second wonders what it would be like to have sex with him lmfaoooo). there’s also a side story where taeui has christophe’s photo in his wallet and when other people see it they’re shocked that taeui is dating someone who looks like a celebrity (a misunderstanding obviously lol) and congratulate him
also one small correction for the other commenter but the diaphonic symphonia is actually pretty 50/50 with ilay + tae and christophe + richard
Damn, I’ll have to wait a while for this story to come out huh, if it will like for Yuri and Xinlu. Would Kristoff’s story come after Yuri and Xinlu or before?
I want to see how beautiful that man is for ilay and Taeui to be amazed as well. I’d actually be more surprised if ilay or Taeui isn’t attracted to Kristoff if the guy is that beautiful.
Ilay doesn’t have attraction to Kristoff? The line you told me about what ilay said made me think he’s somewhat interested/attracted in/to his looks. I felt jealous for Taeui until you told me Taeui thought of sex with Kristoff.
And if ilay could read Taeui’s thoughts, I’m sure Taeui would have to repent in the bedroom with ilay XD.
What does ilay do when others misunderstand that Taeui is dating Kristoff? Lmao
No matter how beautiful Christoph is taeui and ilay are so in love with each they don't notice anyone lol plus taeui rejected Christoph when he confessed to him. Taeui is really a magnet for psycho hot ppl
so funnily enough, the novel order is passion, diaphonic symphonia, and raga. passion *has* to be read first plot wise, but the timeline for raga and diaphonic can be switched because raga pretty much only focuses on yuri and xinlu (although you should probably know who christophe and richard are because i do think richard is mentioned at least once in raga).
i know the raga manhwa will be coming out soon though, so manhwa wise you’ll be seeing yuri and xinlu before christophe and richard.
and no ilay is not attracted to christophe at all lmao. christophe is just objectively beautiful, and also in the scene where he says that, he’s prodding at richard a bit. for context, richard and christophe are ‘rivals’ and richard ‘hates’ christophe but it’s also pretty obvious (if you actually bother to read into his actions, which most people don’t because they hate him and honestly that’s fair…. richard is a manipulative asshole lol) that richard’s obsessed with christophe. in this scene, christophe has just dropped out of the competition to inherit Tarten and richard is pissed and ilay is fucking with him a bit.
the photo bit is just a minor side story that occurs after the events of diaphonic symphonia (so in “suite”, which is a collection of side stories for ilay + taeui and richard + christophe). for context, christophe has a lot of trauma and he has trouble smiling, so taeui and him “practiced” smiling together in diaphonic symphonia. taeui took pictures to help him and just stuck them in his wallet.
anyway, in the side story, a rumor was going around that taeui was dating some german guy. one day at the cafeteria he loses his wallet and someone else picks it up. when they open the wallet they’re shocked to see the photo inside, and then taeui’s uncle is like “yo taeui is that your wallet” (he’s sitting right next to ilay) while everyone else is like “holy shit is this the german guy you’re dating?”
so hearing that ilay obviously thinks it’s him and is pretty happy about it. when the guy who picked up the wallet throws it back to taeui, he snatches it but obviously when he opens it up it’s christophe lol (taeui has been denying its a photo of his lover this entire time haha). and then later it’s implied ilay punishes him by taking pictures of him while they’re having sex lol
Thank you! I feel better now besides Taeui being a toxic people magnet….whats up with that.??
Are you a writer? (Compliment btw)
You answered about everything lmao. How many volumes/chapters are there in total? Passion combined with raga and diaphonic?
Thanks for the context for why ilay randomly said those line. So I feel like based on what you said, all the MLs with their own MCs are first obsessed with the MC. Are they related or what? LMAO (not serious)
I can see why Kristoff confessed to Taeui. Taeui was probably the nicest to him and even helped with the smiling. I hope Kristoff naturally smiled from then on?
And I knew it! Of course psycho ilay would resort to sex to punish Taeui lmao.
I’m currently reading three danmei novels so…future novels to read will be in my queue.
Thank you very much for the very detailed response!
Who is Kristoffer?
Someone said that even ilay acknowledged his beauty.
Spoil me idc.
