I didn't understand anything other than zhenya being sad about strangling taekjoo

Zhenya loves taekjoo hence him freaking out about strangling him and in a conflicted and panic state he leaves. A couple chapters earlier his family is talking about raiding the island taekjoo is on (they don’t know he’s there) to look for Anastasia, because they think the reason zhenya is on the island a lot is because he’s making another Anastasia. in this chapter when zhenya goes back he is sent on a “mission” that invokes stopping these honeypot spies (honeypot spies are spies that use seduction to capture their target) from conducting murder suicide plans but I don’t think it explained that scene well, but based on the novel I’m assuming next chapter will jump into some action. I hope this explains it well without spoiling

yes, thats what i love abt these kind of characters bcuz they are emotionally not there , they dont realize they love them bcuz they never felt it before and once they realize, they wont ever let go, even before realizing they wont let go. People like to hate these black flag characters but they always tend to be my favorite becuz of that. But yeah i read the novel and this chapter was much more detailed than this

thank you
