Jaeui’s physical condition is completely dependent on Taeui’s. His body is technically in poor condition but it functions because of Tay’s “luck.” That’s why they said that if Tay dies, Jay will too - not because of some unlucky accident- but there’d be nothing keeping this mysterious illness at bay.
Xinlu kinda didn’t kidnap them, at least from UNHRDO’s perspective, Xinlu “extracted” them- it was Ilay who broke the law lol. Also, Xinlu only really took Jaeui so that he could make Tay come with him. Hence why he’s letting Jay go so easily
And I’m not sure if Xinlu’s really gonna just let Tay walk away…
The thing about the luck still confuses me bcz part of the story it was portayed as a mystical force but then it seems to be have a physical affect in the way that its making jaeui sick. And also, why taeui was talking about being a burden, seemed somewhat abstract.
I just really hate xinlu, seems like the only role he plays in kidnapping jaeui is to create unwanted tension between him and ilay especially when things seemd to be finally working out between them.
Yeah, I don’t think the translation is helping either.
On Xinlu, it’s kinda ridiculous that he’s so hung up over Tay and they didn’t even fuck but, and I think it was Yuri who said this, Xinlu is more obsessed with the fact that Ilay took something from him, than with the “thing” Ilay took.
Xinlu’s a young master who’s always had everything his way/gotten everything he wanted EXCEPT Tay- who is some plain-looking (by their accounts) Korean twunk that he should’ve easily managed to get his hands on. Not only that, but Ilay humiliated him twice over Tay, by topping Xinlu in the earlier chapters, and later beating the shit out of him/permanently ruining his eyesight. But you right, he doesn’t serve much purpose other than to ruin Ilay/Tay’s relationship

I dont understand what happened in chp 139. Is jaeui sick? For how long? Why did xinlu kidnap them if the unhrdo was going to get involved? And why would xinlu let both the brothers walk away from him? Can someone plz xplain??
