Se Woong became middle-aged without any proper confession to his first love. In his dried up life, Yoo Il, who is brightness and youth himself, appears. But, he is the son of his friend… and that friend of his was Se Woong’s first love.
I’m not sure why Ahjussi got insecure towards the end of their relationship even going as far as planning a trip on the same dates with Yoo-il’s plans with his friends when in the first place he was the one who couldn’t decide whether he liked Yoo-il’s dad or Yoo-il himself. Also I wished author wasn’t so fixed on the similarities on Yoo-il and his dad’s face alone. I mean for Ahjussi was inlove with the dad for ten years, that’s soo long. Why would he? Because he looks good? I don’t think it would have worked had they stayed together, its hard enough that they have the same sex but the age difference. I think the dad would have killed Ahjussi. Even if Yoo-il is already an adult at 23yo and even if it was consensual
I know Ahjussi was toxic but he had a rough life Being beaten up and disowned by your family is not easy. He was alone. He was lonely. Probably didn’t like to admit it. Yoo-il gave him companionship, he was bound to become possessive. Wish he repented on it and honestly, I wish he would find happiness too. I just find myself discontented because at the beginning and at the middle our PV was mostly Ahjussi’s and yet we don’t get to see his life after Yoo-il at all.
As for Yoo-il I’m happy with his new relationship that he was able to understand at least some of Ahjussi’s mindset with him being the older one. And having experienced the same, he learned the corrected them
I feel like this was depicted very accurately. It was heartbreaking and exciting. It made me feel like a relationship. I’ve had in the past, I brought up so many memories. I love this story, because now that I am mature enough to realize my past, I can see both sides. What a great read. (,:
