Taeui is kinda going insane bc he doesn't wanna be trapped here, but he forces himself to stay bc Jaeui likes his freedom living there. So Taeui tries to enjoy it, but finds himself missing Ilay and needs to contact him. Taeui manages to pickpocket a guard's phone and calls Ilay. Taeui is a bit cray cray rn and starts talking some nonsense. He's saying to Ilay "Do you like me?" and "I think I like you." And tells Ilay where he's at and to come rescue him. The guards catch Taeui and beats him up, retrieving the phone.
If you want more spoilers, just reply
more spoilers pleaseee ! thank uu
I Want more plssssss I'm dying to know><
Ofc lol. So after that, Taeui and Jaeui just hangs out and talks about trivial things. Like their childhood and stuff. A few days later, Rahman has to leave and takes his best guard back to his home bc it's currently being bombed and attacked (yes this was Ilay's doing with his T&R riot squad). Once Rahman leaves, the place Taeui is trapped in is also attacked and bombed. Taeui knows it's Ilay who's doing this, calling him crazy for bombing a royal's fvcking mansion.
Anyways, Taeui believed it was Ilay who made it into the mansion, but it turns out to be Xinlu. Xinlu had snuck in with a little group of his own men and tries to take Taeui away. However, Taeui doesn't wanna go and sees Ilay riding the 3-wheeled motorcycle. Taeui can see Ilay having a genuine smile once Ilay sees Taeui, and Taeui wants to run to him so bad. But Xinlu had one of his men drug Jaeui, and threatened Taeui that if he doesn't go with Xinlu, Jaeui may be harmed. Taeui doesn't believe Jaeui could get harmed with his crazy luck, but Taeui doesn't wanna risk Jaeui being injured bc the twins have a medical condition where they can't rlly go to the hospital for treatments. So Taeui chooses to go with Xinlu, but yells desperately at Ilay "I WILL BE BACK!"
But obviously, Ilay can't hear him bc of the motorcycle and their distance. All Ilay sees is Taeui going into a car with Xinlu willingly, and Ilay is beyond pissed. Once Taeui is in the car (Jaeui is there too, asleep from the drug), Xinlu takes out a gun and shoots the motorcycle's front tire. It crashes and Ilay falls off, standing back up and glaring at Xinlu's car driving away. Then for extra caution, Xinlu has a pill and drugs Taeui, causing him to black out.
wow pls more spoilers
Lol okkk. I gotchu! Btw, I will be spoiling all the way to the end of the first book.
So after all that, Taeui wakes up in a hotel and turns on the TV. On the news, it shows Ilay and Taeui, labeling them as "terrorists." I should've mentioned earlier, but when Taeui was calling Ilay, Ilay mentions that he's going to basically throw his life away for Taeui. Taeui now realizes that Ilay went against a royal's family for Taeui, and was willing to become a terrorist.
Taeui is now rlly desperate to go back to Ilay, but needs to find Jaeui first. Eventually, Taeui finds Jaeui talking to their uncle on the phone. Uncle orders Jaeui to return and work for UNHRDO, and Jaeui complies bc he is no longer confined. Uncle also tells Taeui to be careful of Ilay cuz rn they don't know where he is. Despite that, Taeui tells his uncle that he will still go back to Ilay. His uncles agrees to give Taeui another fake passport and for him to meet up with a police at the local airport that will assist Taeui.
Xinlu comes into the room and understands that Jaeui will return to UNHRDO tmrw and wants to keep Taeui with him. With that, Jaeui leaves the room and goes to his room across. Xinlu confesses to Taeui that he tried to take Taeui to the airport and back to Hong Kong, but bc Taeui was labeled a terrorist now, Xinlu couldn't do that. Taeui firmly tells Xinlu that he needs to be with Ilay rn and that no matter what, he will not be with Xinlu. Taeui's feelings have changed, and even tho Ilay is a psychopath maniac, Taeui does have feelings for him. Xinlu mentions how Ilay blinded one of his eyes, how crazy Ilay is and how he will hurt Taeui. In response, Taeui accepts Ilay's faults and offers to give Xinlu one of his eyes as compensation. Defeated, Xinlu lays on the bed and Taeui leaves the room.
Taeui heads to the airport, but is lost on what to do. He's been labeled a terrorist, has no idea where Ilay could be, and is lowkey scared af to face Ilay after what he did yesterday (leaving with Xinlu when Ilay was right there.) Sitting by a bus stop, Taeui just contemplates on life and sees a taxi pull up. His eyes widen in surprise as he sees the man coming towards him.
It's Ilay. And as expected, Ilay is angry. Taeui tries to explain, but his mouth and mind isn't working. Without a proper explanation, Ilay nearly knocks out Taeui by punching his gut again, and drags him into a hotel and throws him on the ground or bed. Taeui isn't able to resist bc of the punch from earlier, and Ilay shoves his fingers into Taeui's mouth. Bc of that, Taeui isn't able to explain and tears up. Ilay believes that Taeui was trying to escape again by heading to the airport, and repeats his phrase "You are mine."
<Trigger warning (rape)>
Yes, Ilay does rape Taeui in this scene and prevents Taeui from explaining himself by having his glove and a towel in Taeui's mouth. Taeui is mad and frustrated that Ilay isn't letting him speak, shouting through Ilay's fingers. (I will skip most of this scene cuz it's rlly dark and shows how sad and angry Taeui is). Only once Ilay is satisfied and Taeui agrees to call himself Ilay's, he takes out the glove and towel to let Taeui speak. But atp, Taeui is beyond exhausted and can barely speak. Ilay is about to start again, but Taeui manages to say it and curses Ilay at it too. Ilay's finally in a good mood and wants to stay inside Taeui, promising not to go again. But Taeui starts to cry again so Ilay stops midway and Taeui blacks out from exhaustion.
Once waking up, Taeui can't stand up or move properly, so Ilay has to help him walk. Kyle calls and is yelling at Ilay and shouts "You are with him! Have you killed him?!" But Ilay is responding casually and nonchalantly. He smiles when he sees Taeui and Kyle hears Taeui's voice. Kyle tells Taeui how his uncle was worried about him bc Taeui didn't meet up with the cop that was supposed to give him a fake passport at the airport.
Kyle mentions that Iltae needs to lay low cuz they are wanted terrorists rn, and suggests living with Kyle in Berlin. Ilay hates the idea (mainly bc of Rita's nagging), but Taeui doesn't mind. Ilay is upset Taeui wants to go there, but Taeui stands firm on it and tells Ilay that he can come visit Taeui in Berlin then. The call ends and Ilay tells Taeui (who's currently lying in bed again) that he'll need to change his name to Taeui Reigrow.
Taeui is contemplating on what to do and questions himself if he could rlly be happy with Ilay. Taeui wants to "humanize" Ilay, but wonders if he will be able to keep up with Ilay's craziness. Taeui is able to explain himself to Ilay, and Ilay is left with a bit of skepticism and confusion.
After resting for 3 days, Taeui and Ilay goes to the airport and heads to Berlin. Even tho Ilay was reluctant to go live with Kyle back in Berlin, he wants to follow Taeui and agrees to live there. Taeui thinks Ilay is broke and homeless now, so he promised Ilay that he'll try to provide for Ilay (Ilay is fvcking rich with a net worth of 20 billion btw) and so Ilay pretends he's jobless now. Taeui knows Ilay's just going along with him, but Ilay doesn't know that lol. And so they make it to Berlin, where the 2nd book (Diaphonic Symphonia) takes place.
If you want more clarity of explanation on some parts, do reply. I will do my best to explain
this is insane spoilerrr damn but when are they gonna be happy?????
In the 2nd novel, about 3-5 years have passed, and Taeui is very comfortable living in Berlin. However, Ilay is very busy and works away from home often (missions for T&R). Taeui has a little corner in the room where he likes to lay down and rest by, like a cat. Bc of Ilay being so busy, whenever he comes back (which could take a few days to a weeks) he and Taeui do the boombahyah a lot lol. The 2nd novel is more focused about T&R (Tarten & Reigrow) the company, and the main conflict is with the new characters, Richard and Christoph.
Anyways, focusing on Iltae, they are a lot more domestic and couple looking. Ilay is still Ilay, but he has soften up to Taeui. There's sweet moments of Ilay massaging Taeui, cuddling, kissing, and Ilay ragebaiting Taeui by mentioning how Taeui acts during sex. Ofc, there's a lot more angst and danger (cuz Taeui's unlucky af) and hence why Ilay always tell Taeui to just stay in Berlin bc he's worried Taeui will get injured or smth bad will happen to him.
More spoilers bc Passion has so much content to cover hehe.
They can finally relax more in the 3rd novel, Passion Suite, as this is when most of the drama is over and the couples are enjoying their lives. In Passion Suite I believe, it's been about 10 yrs since they got tgt, and Ilay tells Taeui that he cannot live without Taeui. He cannot feel anything without Taeui. If Taeui dies, Ilay will die with him. In fact, Ilay hired a hitmen and made a contract that if Taeui dies, Ilay will willingly be killed by said hitmen.
Holy Passion, the most recent novel and only in physical copies, is like a side story where Taeui almost dies bc of a knife wound from one of Ilay's enemies. Here Ilay has become much more human and Taeui catches a glimpse of Ilay crying as he watches Taeui bleed out in front of him.
Wow! So are you telling me this hundred chapters covered only the book one? Anyway, where is the novel and is there an epub version that I can get? Thanks in advance.
thank you for doing god’s work (づ￣ ³￣)づ
Yes all the manhwa (up to 125 and the newest chapters coming out on Feb. 17) is ONLY the first book. The manhwa will probably end with Taeui and Ilay living in Berlin. I will direct message you on mangago for the novel link ;)
Passion is smth I'm passionate about (wink wink). This whole story, the world building, the characters, especially Taeui, has me on a chokehold. If there's anything else you wanna know, I'm happy to answer
