That’s just how Tae is.
I haven’t read the comic version of the mirror scene, but in the novel before it all goes down Ilay asks Tae if he regrets it (tying him up and all that jazz from before he left UNHRDO) and Tae thinks for a while says no, which surprises Ilay. Tae just says that even if he knows it might not end well for him, he won’t lie because he doesn’t regret it and if he had to do it again he would .

So yes, he’s instinctively afraid of Ilay, but at the same time confident enough to face him.


Also, I think what makes this couple different from most is that both started liking each other before they even realized it and before anything bad happened between them. In the novels were shown inside Tae’s head. The I honestly think it happened almost (if not) from their first meeting (well Ilay “met” Tae first through those phone calls and he allowed him to call him by his name from the beginning which is something he doesn’t do. Nobody calls him “Ilay” outside of his family, so I think thst was a huge hint the author dropped early on).

LMAO TAE ACTUALLY SAID THAT?? Taeui might actually be one of my fav mcs but yeah they both started off with positive feelings for eachother so maybe that’s why they’re different then other black flag couples and also because ilay only started being possessive after like 90 chapters letting their relationship develop beforehand unlike other possessive mls where it’s just from the get go and the uke is just scared as hell from the beginning

I went back to read their conversation.

“No… … I have no excuse."
He sighed and shook his head. Ilay smiled subtly while looking at Jeong Tae-eui.
“¿You’re not sorry? Looks like you’ve been thinking about this for a while.“
"Well… … . If I say I’m sorry, you’ll hurt me less? But thinking of everything that happened, I don’t think that’s the case…after all, people need to be true to themselves.”
Jeong Tae-eui said calmly. Ilay looked at Jeong Tae-eui with a face as if he’d been hit, but then he burst out laughing. It sounded like a happy laugh, but Jeong Tae-eui noticed his eyes began to shine. Even if they hadn’t known each other for long, he knew enough.

“So you’re not sorry then?”
Tae asks him what exactly he had to be sorry for since there were a few things he did to piss him off.
Ilay smiled, but a Tae knows very well that his smile doesn’t mean he’s happy.
Ilay asks him about his life while he wandered around as Kim Young-soo, but Tae remains mum.
“Tell me".
Jeong Tae-eui furrowed his brow. He wasn’t sorry for what he’d done to Ilay. There were so many things that it was hard to count them, but it may be something that could set him off.
“… … . Did you curse me?
Jeong Tae-eui asked, unsure.
Jeong Tae-ui looked at Ilay silently, then he sighed and shook his head.
"I don’t know what passed you off more, but I don’t regret anything I did.”
"¿Not even a bit?"
"Not even a bit."
Ilay asked as if giving him one last chance, but Jeong Tae-eui shook his head again with conviction.
"Hmm.” He said, then shut up deep in thought and just started at Jeong Tae-eui.

Omg i wanna read the novel. Where are you reading the novel ver??

no ‘cause where do you read the novel? i’ve been searching for ages

Originally I found a Spanish group that did MTL translations of the novels, then I found out I was missing some side stories and found a raw novel site.

https://booktoki341.com

I have been recapping the novels on my blog as well. There are at least 2 side stories not posted on the raws website.
If you want to check them out later, I can send you the link to my blog.

Did this already happen and just get skipped over… I’m praying not omg I need this to be drawn

It happened right before the mirror scene in the novel.

Noo omg so it was skipped in the manwha

I’ve read all the available novels and side stories I can get my hands on so I’ve seen the character development for Ilay and I’ve never read the other 2 series but I’ve read all the comments on them both and one thing I can say for sure is that compared to the other 2, Ilay never purposely hurt Tae just for shits and giggles or to humiliate him (like I’ve read in the comments that Caesar shot and raped Lee Won or Zhenya raped MC for a week straight and even made him bleed.) And he’s not really the jealous type either (not saying there haven’t been times when he hasn’t gotten jealous, but he hasn’t gone bat shit insane and done something heinous to Tae. It mainly leads to sex). Their communication is pretty good, they trust each other and there are a few scenes here and there about their domesticity (they watch movies together and go out on dates (not that we’re shown those scenes. We’re just old about them). They go on vacations.) Ilay at one point straight up tells Tae he would never hurt him (but do not dare hurt Tae because all hell will break loose. In one of the side stories Tae gets hurt and Ilay goes after the men and it does not end well for them. Some of Ilay’s old teammates from the T&R task force even joke with Tae that what Ilay did to those men means more than an engagement ring (because it shows his level of commitment towards him). Overall they become a really cute, loving couple.

yeah i feel like the big 3 should be caesar zhenya and jaekyung now lol

Wait aww I can’t wait for those scenes to be drawn ilay and taeui actually work out bc their relationship isn’t just forced Stockholm syndrome imo, like even now taeui is mainly being dragged back bc other ppl will come for him, and even then ilay said he’ll let him find jaeui, ilay isn’t aggressively possessive which makes him way better

LMAOO literally

I would say big 3 who are foreigners lol, (and mafia-ish) jaekyung should have a separate banner of shit show (I'm very real now )
Atleast in big 3's partner they are cheeky, Dan is not even that

Omg Dan gets me so mad I’m sorry if taeui was anything like Dan id drop passion so fast

But if taeui was like Dan passion wouldn’t exist LMAO ilay wouldn’t even look twice

Exactly.
I’m not sure if this was covered in the comic, but the novel has a chapter from Ilay’s POV and talks about the time Tae stepped in when that guy walked into the cafeteria trying to shoot Ilay and Ilay says at that moment he lost interest in the guy who tried to kill him because Tae had piqued his interest.

There’s 16-19 novels total I believe, I wonder how far the comic will go? I think right now the comic is @ like volume 4 or 5.

I don’t think it’s Stockholm syndrome because they liked each other (even if not aware of it) way before things went south.

It was!! During ilay’s pov where he was initially drawn to Taeui wondering what Jae-ui’s brother was like and he lost interest in tae at first bc he pointed the gun at Ilay only for his interest to multiply after finding out it wasn’t loaded omg I loved reading that scene

I hope it all gets drawn since I have no idea where to find an eng translation and yeah it 100% is not Stockholm syndrome, their relationship developed for three months before we reached this point, and tbh I don’t see Taeui as the type of person who would ever develop Stockholm syndrome lol

REAL

Everytime there’s a villainess who’s unhealthily obsessed with the mc it just becomes toxic yuri to me
