4 am rant:
I actually really really liked this story!
However, I do think it's for more mature audiences, like people who have experienced university and relationships. I know that if I had read this while I was younger I would be very unsatisfied rn.

I can actually even see this happening to people Im close with, the way there isn't a climax or a well defined problem. Life is like that, you don't always apologize after a fight or when things are awkward (like Sangho and his brother). I actually saw a lot of comments saying that they would have liked a climax in their relationship, but that doesn't really happen irl. It's slower, you have a little fight, you keep going, eventually you talk lighty about it. Like it's obvious that they both care for each other, and that the brother isn't harshly judging him, just a tad confused bc he thought he knew his brother.

The relationship between Seungho and Hakdo is very cute. They are there for each other. And i actually think that when his friend left he managed to close a cicle
Like, yes, he will always love him, but in a way that you love someone who has spent 10 years with you. Not really like a friend, not like family, not in a sexual way, just love him. I think thats what they were trying to hint about towards the end. Like how Seungho is the person he learns to love. Love is something you work for in a relationship, not a thing that comes easy at all like all these other manhwas/mangas portray. You find a person you are comfortable with and atractred to, and yes, you can like them a lot, but you have to work to love them and build a relationship.

Anyways, english is not my first language so props to you for reading this far. I have a class in like 3 hours and i haven't slept.

    you summed it up so well! this is actually one of my favourite BLs was never able to articulate why, but you’ve hit all the points! there’s a realism to it about portraying how love is a choice and, like you said, something that you work for to maintain
