This story, the gist of it is: Family. Each teen is coming to terms with the fact that their parents or guardians are human. Never an easy thing for any kid to realize. The other world I would use to sum it up would be: Communication. Each teenager learns that when family actually talks to one another, they actually learn more about themselves. It is also about communication between friends, who each have dreams, and when trying to reach out and explain them to their friends, see them either dismissed as arbitrary, or cheered on from the sidelines.

You have sexual harassment, suicide attempts, drunk driving, rape, family abuse, shaming, and the asshat who knows he is loved, but refuses to actually commit to anyone and then simply runs away from everyone. (sorry, the black haired kid is that...he knows he is loved by multiple people, but he refuses everyone, and prefers to lie and play them against each other. When he should have been clearly turning down his friend because he knew there was another person who loved him immensely in the wings, instead he just chooses to leave, and not leaves all feelings dangling.)

Basically, the story is based on life. Life never stands still. Love is never an easy thing to confront. I would really like to see a chapter of each person 5 years into the future.

    It showed me that the underdog will continue to get stepped on like Hosoo did to Jinwon. Yeah that's life but I read stories because I want to get away from sh!tty reality in some cases not see the same cycle that happens in reality repeated over and over in fiction too. Ktbn.
