let me guess... ex fiance & current partner both know each other bc they're all from esteemed backgrounds. hence why he keeps mentioning his red hair. current partner eventually finds out about uke's background & comes to the conclusion that if he doesn't pair with him, the ex fiance is gonna take him. if this goes dark, uke might get kidnapped by his past relatives &/or ex fiance.
taekjoo, that was not the move... i know you're confined against your will but pissing him off will only make it worse.
charming as it may be, i find him too hot-headed. he should be playing the long game where he eventually escapes by getting on zhenya's good side & trying to get his guard down. i'm always sitting on the edge of my seat whenever he does something rash lol. the consequences far outweighs his impulsive actions.










i stopped reading midway to wait until it's complete but did the scene where penelope talks to her korean family in the hospital happen? or will that prob be in the side stories?
