Every chapter fills my heart with their energy and I love it.
I really appreciate Uyuns emotional maturity. Of course after being occupied by so many things no wonder Jinyoung couldn’t get there yet, but with the people he currently surrounds himself with - we’ll definitely see him being there in the future.
For those wishing for an Uyun or saying they feel Jinyoung - I really hope you’ll be able to meet great people in your life who will change your mindset or perspectives for the better. It also takes a lot of work and knowledge, but it’s really something doable
I read the novel and it was truly amazing and moving read. The main characters perception and thoughts were so well described that I could feel things not even mentioned. Or maybe it was because I felt a connection with the mc - it was really a long time since I read about someone with similar mind.
Spoiler:
The ending can make one really impatient because the Ml doesn’t know what he’s feeling at all times.
No no, there’s a lot of misunderstanding happening at the end because the ML doesn’t know why he is acting as he is. Leading him to do things he wouldn’t be doing normally. Then when the ML knows his feelings more clearly (which is a long way to go), the MC understood they are just together for sex, as he wasn’t in position to hear clarifications. It goes like that for some chapters until FINALLY they had to have a serious talk again.
Starting from the time when the ML acted very strange, there’s basically a prolonged culmination point at all times, but I think it shows pretty well how they both were feeling as as well - the time feels like is stopped but also running too fast.
Also note - there are scenes I would consider dub-con as the MC felt like he was more in a dream. Also a lot of things are happening in meanwhile making you feel like you don’t know what’s going on. It is explained later and the ML perspective is given multiple times.
Seeing his story he just wanted to give it up on following Byul. The wall between them was always there and experiencing it be risen and fall must’ve hurt tremendously. The situation in his home didn’t help and Byul (probably not ready yet) couldn’t face him after all. Now him giving up to get expelled and probably move out was a way out from both situations.
Im really surprised by the comments.. what do you guys mean you didn’t expect some fuck up situationship?
The suit guy has never once been comfortable with anything that’s going on and was doing it out of „necessity” to reach his goals or rather satisfy someone else. Ya’ll didn’t feel there was something wrong from the start?? The boxer was literally shown to be a fucked up person not once before?
I get the feeling that you all know exactly what you were reading, but when it’s explicitly shown suddenly it’s too much and it’s easier to wash your hands.
This or you weren’t reading it at all
I see people complaining that he should go back but as someone who related to Woowon from the start, I think it’s extremely valid he’s not doing so. And I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t go back for a longer period with enough pretending he didn’t miss Seoan.
The words he heard from the person he wanted to do everything for were like a knife after a knife. These were the words he didn’t want to hear and feared to hear the most. He saw himself stepping into a cycle he had experienced during his most fragile years and never wanted to repeat that pain, not for himself nor anyone else. He’s always thinking about the future and consequences of his choices and now he probably has to choose between what would feel most rational and his own emotions











It’s really a great piece showing basically the passage of time on a group of people. The things you learn with your experiences and choices.
I really liked the epilogue, it couldn’t be more perfect here. The life literally goes on and the way we spend it, what to do or experience in it - depends on us and the living life itself.
I see people being mad that Meiko decided to „move forward from Taneda”, but it’s never told if she really did that, she’s only seen being able to perhaps love someone again. Which makes both things free to our interpretation
