Did you forget what happened to the dream and ilic's reaction after waking up to that dream? Ilic realized he has feelings for sayan, however, i assume this is called care/concern or maybe even a tiny bit of love. Not the same definition and intensity of what is sayan have towards ilic but i guess it's enough for him to still choose to be by sayan's side til their death. Ilic though doubtful of sayan's feelings back then have also finally accepted it, as what was insinuated in previous chapters from ilic's perspective. Not the typical enemies to lovers or hate to love story but what matters is that sayan has mellowed down and ilic has his own will to either stay or leave.
