As someone who finished reading the novel, taekjoo doesn't end up getting a stockholme syndrome. Their relationship is quite complicated after the next few chapters, but Taekjoo still ends up hating him for the next season or like 20+ chapters ( if I am wrong with the timelines please correct me, I read the novel a long time ago)
Dont worry you're right. Taekjoo never truly accepts Zhenya, while Zhenya continues to yearn/chase him. Idk where people are getting Stockholm syndrome from. Taekjoo only ever start to truly love Zhenya at the end of the second novel
Can I ask u where did u read the novel?
Sure thing! AOT has the novel and the translation is pretty good
