Ofcourse the manhwa has to make some cuts it’s nearly impossible to illustrate every single detail from the novel but the emotional impact isn’t the same.. Both the Novel and the Audio Drama spends more time on Zhenya’s freaking out, he slaps Taekjoo’s a couple times to wake him up, he is panting as he’s doing the chest compressions, his sweat droplets fall on Taekjoo’s face that’s when he realizes he’s stress-sweating. And he doesn’t leave until he hears a little exhale coming from Taekjoo’s mouth. The novel interprets Zhenya’s inner chaos to more “why you? Why are you different than everything I’ve ever known?” Whereas manhwa is more about “what’s wrong with me?” They’re not the same narrative:(
