I wasn’t expecting to bawl my eyes out like this!! The heartache, devotion, and chaos were so intense. I was rooting for Jo and Ian because the plot seemed to push that way, but I kept an open mind for Taejoon since I thoroughly enjoyed his and Ian’s chemistry and bond as well.

Looking back, Ian’s choice made sense and I called it. He was holding onto his past long before the ending, especially when he tried to take those rings from the cigarette box before leaving with Jo. The experience of falling in love with Jo was necessary because he showed Ian that a happy, normal future was possible. So while Ian and TJ couldn’t change their traumatic past, they can now build a normal life together in their own way. One person was bound to end up heartbroken either way.

I’m sad and in tears for Jo and the possible future him and Ian could have had. It’s bittersweet, but I’m also happy Ian and TJ finally get to be together as lovers. The title is so fitting. Just like wet sand, the past clings to you and is hard to wash away, but it’s also malleable, allowing them to finally shape the future that they desire.

I will read this again from a different perspective with Taejoon more in mind. Now that I’m a bit calmer from all the crying, I’m glad that Ian is able to provide to Taejoon what Jo would have gave for Ian.

    You articulate exactly how I felt so perfectly!! This is amazing. Thank you

Ah I feel baited. I was really looking forward to Peter and Johannes getting it on! At least once? I did not want to see him being intimate with that reporter ugh (though he had no choice). Anyways, this was an interesting read.

Yes it’s sick; this is a psychological horror after all. One should expect it to be dark and also, allegedly this goes on irl as far as orphans being “adopted” to patrons and whatnot and corruption in churches behind the scenes, as sick as it is. Anyways, I’m satisfied with how they ended the story. Peter is Johannes god.

Wow, the little brother just committed attempted murder…really murder and most likely didn’t even check to see if Cheol survived after that push…wow. Minyoung wanting to unalive the whole family is valid. Wrong. But his feelings are valid. This is crazy work!

Waited 5-6 months for this. Finally!!! I’m so happy they finally got together before the hiatus. Can’t wait for the next season!

This was so well-written. The previous short stories I read were a bit shallow and lacked depth as far as plot/characters/pacing etc, so I was not expecting this to be any different and invoke so much emotion and have such a great storyline. It was a beautiful, heart-wrenching read. I cried multiple times

I didn’t even read the chapters yet. I watched the animation and remembered while I was searching for my next read and immediately searched for it. I rated it so quick. The animation was toooo good

Okay, Emotion and Brotherly Love were pretty good. I was actually surprised as I usually can predict the plot but there were some plot twits I was not expecting. Give me more! Also where’s the rest of brotherly love? Hello??
