I had this saved in my list of forever rereads and I kinda forgot about it. I remember vaguely one of them dying so I had little hopes but when I saw he lived when he fell, I got hopeful again... Until he didn't. Still, one of my fave reads and really made me tear up even years later.
Not entirely because he cheated for 4 years. If he didnt, then maybe they could have spent another new year together making dumplings. He regrets his choices and got his punishment. I hope he gets another lucky dumpling or two next year with Akita.
Okay, uh.. so that's a very interesting read... It's got something, but damn I wanna know what the baby looked like :(((
