yeah i am typing this in tears

hate mate was the first ever korean bl manhwa i ever read - the first comic i ever fully purchased too and the reason for my unchanging profile pic.

i hesitated reading the second season for so long, and finally i decided to on a whim.

hyeonwoo was a flawed character, and i don't condone how he treated subin, but it's one of those things where he really did care for him. even if it was always too late. i wonder what would've happened had hyeonwoo ran out for subin the moment he left on that snowy day. would they have managed to work into each others life?

i'm not sure, but i do know that despite kang jun's faults he wasn't late. he did the exact thing hyeonwoo should've done, ran after him without much deliberation. subin and jun aren't perfect, but that's what makes them work.

after subin finally depleted the last bit of what he could offer hyeonwoo, and hyeonwoo released the canal was long since dry i was glad to see that he'd finally start to care about himself without the worries of others forcing him to do so.

this will still remain one of my favorites. man, it really is a bittersweet ending ;;
