I originally expected the both of them would have a bad ending, which in a way, I could be proven right about since it's technically an open interpretation BUT the ending was sickeningly too beautifully for me to declare that I'm right. I like to imagine after they returned to the docks, both of them decide to go back to the shaddy motel and spend the entire night having hardcore consensual s3x..hehe (´ε` )
I like how the author made it an open ending rather than concluding the story in a way that solidifies things. Personally, the idea that it might've all been a hallucination feels very realistic to me, considering how far Ricky was, plus the weather made it almost impossible to find him. But I'd like to think Hojung has a secret Ricky-tracker installed in his brain that's why he was able to find him..(。・ω・。)ノ♡
Reading through the very end was worth the stress and anger I had for hojung because it wrapped beautifully in the end. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ACTOR AU TO RELEASE YAYAYYYYYY
Please update this already I'm dying please I beg of youuu
