Well you understood a lot pretty much right, about the owner & that man - it's his boyfriend and they've been together for 20 years, Apollo is surprised cause he heard same sex relationships don't last that long
Abut the scene with Phi (why Fin ahahah) sleeping, Apollo basically thinks about Phi not being able to sleep alone, cause he came to him again tonight, and yeah he wonders what's on Phi's mind
That's pretty much everything I could add to your summary, you did great considering russian is not your mother tongue (what's yours btw?) and tbh I'm amazed cuz even tho russian is my native language I'm lazy af to summarize chapters, especially in the comments
But since ch 10 is already out in japanese, maybe I post about it briefly when the russian team will translate it, not sure when exactly though
Thanks a lot for your help. It would be so so great if you could post a brief summary for chapter 10. Tbh, it cost me great effort and time to translate from Russian to English, however, since I love this story so much, I hope I could do sth for all the followers of this story, encouraging them to keep on with it.
BTW, I am from Vietnam and my birth language is Vietnamese.
I think I will!! I've already promised soooo I can't take back my words now haha
Btw did you use mtl translator? Because the summary is so good and makes sense (I just heard that google & etc suck at translating russian, but maybe it was improved)
But anyway, we all appreciate your efforts ;)
Thank you once again haha . Tbh, I use Google Translate + my imagination + efforts and time to finish this summary. Google Translate has really been improved a lot.
You're welcome <3
This summary is not all the content of chapter 9. Neither English nor Russian is my mother tongue, I can just describe what I understand.
Chapter 9 begins with Fin staring at the image that has appeared in chapter 5 with a shocked and traumatized look on his face, I think it probably bears a strong connection to Fin dark past, then Apollo comes in the room and calls him out for a trip to the beach with others from Shangri La. The owner of Shangri La then appears and also invites a man (I can't figure out if he is also a foreplay man), they then have a chat about same sex relationship, long-haired guy says that he envies it, Apollo thinks for a while and also agree with that. The next scene is when Fin does his job, as always.
After that, Fin comes back to his room, asking Apollo to prepare a bath for him. Apollo worries about Fin, about how he always put up on a strong look and recalls the sentence Fin said "I may have killed a man".
The next scene (OMG, I love it so much) Apollo wakes up with Fin on his side and still sleeping. Apollo looks at him sleeping so peacefully, wondering why he has so much on his mind (I don't understand this very clearly, I add some myself, the native please help me!!), striking Fin's hair and face, which is exactly what every gentle man does for their partner.
Suddenly Fin wakes up, Apollo gets caught red handed (hehe). Fin asks Apollo to keep doing that, saying that he likes it. Then, he teases Apollo about what he did the night previous. He says Apollo hugged him, let him lay on his hand, that Apollo is a direct caring husband, being in the same bed before a spa with a woman.
Fin asks Apollo to tell him more about the story about him and his wife. Apollo tells him about his previous job, how he and his wife met and got to married, how he caught her cheated on him and why he couldn't do anything when she refused to divorce. After many disputes he decided to stop everything by taking off the ring but it seems that he still can't get over her. Fin understands then touches Apollo chest, asking him if his heart still has a place for someone else. Apollo is taken aback by that, staring straight into Fin's eyes then makes an excuse to go outside.

I think this chapter makes a great leap their relationship. I love it so so much, love how slowly but so spontaneously those two come to love. As for me, love is more than just romantic feelings or the act of kissing, making love. Love is when you both care for each other, willing to accept your partner's weaknesses and help him/her overcome that, which is exactly the way Fin and Apollo are doing and will do for each other.
