I’ve been holding off to read this for quite awhile now despite the rave review just because it is shounen ai (my horny ass love yaoi>>shounen ai). Recently heard that this got a live action drama in the making and thought this is the right time to dive into it, pluss I’m just in a mood for some vanilla stuff.
And fuhhh, was I wrong about the vanilla part. I was so hooked!! In the end, part of me wants to shed some tears for Taejun but idk I just can’t. Honestly I can’t comprehend with his way of thinking. A failed love-life is enough to take your life away? I mean.. through the flashbacks, it didn’t even seem like he tried enough to fight for it though. There’re probably other stuff that lead to that.. just wish we get his pov to why he ultimately decided to take his own life

    Overall, would totally recommend reading this! I bet many haven’t given this a chance yet (seeing the low number of voters).
    Off to read cherry magic! now ~

    I had the exact same thought. In fact, I kept reading on thinking that there was probably another reason or something more. It was just too vague that he committed suicide because of the other guy. I mean he had his brother, his friend, so much to life and just because of one guy. Maybe there is more, maybe I can't understand it but it was surely an odd point for me.

    I think it was kind of vague, but I think they implied he had major depressive disorder and he was tired of hiding the pain, coupled with being exposed/rejected, he decided to end his life. But it was weird how they framed it for sure.

    Yeah for sure there was more. He wouldn't have decided to leave everyone and everything behind unless he felt as if it was the only way. Still, there were a lot of chapters and I feel like a bit of insight into his story, his POV and his feelings would have cleared it better.
    Honestly tho after reading this, I felt really sad for him. I wish he could've been happy with them all. The author should have made some AU or something ╥﹏╥

    Could it be that he FINALLY felt remorse and guilt for having an affair with a married man? Or was rejection more damaging for him than the thought of like yk 'wrecking' a home(with a cheater obviously. I'm not putting all the blame on Taejun or anything)?

    The rejection could totally have a big part in it since he basically pursued the dad for years as his life goal and the overwhelming feelings of being rejected with his fragile mental state led to his extreme choice.
