Pretty similar, its cute and short. I reread it for fun, college setting.
If you're planning to read this, PLEASE DO!!!! Its a great story, short, a bit rushed but not noticeably but undeniably incredible!!!! The characters have good characteristics and flaws as well. They communicate well and their issues are addressed!! The art is beautiful and the story line is interesting and you end up falling in love with the characters.
Since 'Cherry Blossoms after Winter' got tainted by a new season, this is my new comfort read lol
So if you're planning to read it, go ahead. Its heartwarming and so cute, you'll sympathetic for the characters. SO GO FOR IT (nakamura-kun (ifykyk))

AFTER THIS POINT, THERE IS SPOILERS!!!!
This story is really well written, like off the bat it would seem like any other really misunderstood-love-triangle nonsense but I swear the author really demonstrated the story clearly. HyeongJun (I'll be calling him HJ) Is such a good representative for good communication. And I feel Chanyeong (Ill be calling him CY) is kinda, 'bottle up my feelings and never talk about them ever again'. But I'm glad we got to know it, and even gladder that both sides had their own rights and wrongs—
—We know that RedHead (Juwon, i think his name is) told his crush about CY family situation, which we can guess by context clues, and that is messed up. CY got mad (like any other emotional human being) and fought up, leading upto RedHead getting a serious leg injury that stopped his from pursuing his original career.
I love that for some reason, it sounds strange (I Know) But thats how most middle/high school conflicts start.
A little information spills out→starts an argument→Something bad happens.
I think i love it even more cause its relatable to me, All my childhood conflicts started the same, where we all got severely injured. Now i feel like I am more lowkey, similar to HJ.
Another thing that I absolutely love about this story. These two help each other, god, I love that soso frkin much broski. CY helps him confess, and just supports him, even when he liked him he didn't necessarily stop him from confessing his feelings—bless him istg, he's so sweet. And he's so misunderstood, so obviously we feel more sympathy for him.
And abt HJ, he seems like some regular joe, but hes the kind of 2nd ML's that you end up falling in love with and rooting for. He sooo communicable, and he also helps. He helped CY get back on his feet after his depressive state and helped him convey his emotions when they talked with Redhead (Juwon). And he understood him, he didn't believe the rumors, he believed that CY was a genuinely good person—and what more do you need than a supportive and good-hearted partner?
Some con's about the story:
I absolutely love this story, no doubt of it. But I feel like it couldve been more, Same plotline, same characters, nothing new. Just extended. Like we could've empthatised rather than sympathized. I feel like it would do the story better if HJ's depressive scenes were more understandable, and we can get an underlying conversation about his abandonment issues—which i feel like he does indeed have.
We could've gotten a sit down conversation about their expierences, a few laughs, maybe a sweet moment and I feel like I could be happy with that. It just felt like the story was missing something.
