So many misunderstandings and missed opportunities to be honest with each other. So annoying!!
But the worst part is the author has added one of my least favorite tropes to this story: stagnant yearning. I absolutely hate that Yeon-G just circled around Eihwa even after HS. He didn't try to find his own group of friends and didn't even try to seek out any other romantic relationship or at least attempt going to gay clubs. All he did was whine about his doomed crush. Yearned and whined while not doing anything to change the situation!! He always talked about changing, but he still ran to Eihwa the minute he was summoned. Good puppy. Blech!! And, yes, I know he tried being with that Sak guy, but that wasn't a true attempt, that was just smoke. They didn't really date or try to get to know each other. The author was setting Sak up to be a jerk only interested in sex. This kept YG yearning and afraid of intimacy with another person who wasn't his crush. Back to stagnation. Auugghh!!
We finally get some traction when YG moves to the US, but, again, he's doing nothing but yearning from afar. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧ Why move to aborad if you're not even going to try to change yourself?! The point of going to a new place where nobody knows you is to reinvent yourself and try new experiences. But that won't happen until he removes his Eihwa-glasses. But the author won't let him even attempt to have a life that doesn't revolve around Eihwa. Even his piano friend is forcing him back into that Eihwa orbit.
This story needs serious growth from both of them, but mostly YG, before they reach their HEA ending.
