this is the end of the story the novel is finished after this but theres another novel and its confirmed to be adapted to a manwha so we do get more of them, and as for ur other questions, im pretty sure he does know but just doesnt care, he doesnt apologise or anything so its pretty bad to end the novel like that, but in the second novel their relationship gets better and healthier

wait does anyone have any spoilers?
does ilay find out taeui wasn’t trying to run away? does he feel regret and sorry?
how’s this going to affect their relationship now?
