If I was Sunwoo’s friend, I would actually smack the shit out of him for the ending of this story. Look I came into this book knowing him and Sion would be endgame. I knew that. So tell me why they did I wanted to bang my head into the wall.

Let’s get this straight, Sunwoo didn’t deserve ANYTHING that happened to him. Was he intentionally cruel to Sion for revenge after the bet was revealed? Yes. But that does not account for outing, isolating, gaslighting the shit outta Sunwoo in retaliation. Purposely making Sunwoo go into a depression as long as he stood by your side and pussy out once he thought of killing himself. Sion’s biggest sin is being a coward. Having no trust in Sunwoo and becoming obsessed. Sunwoo was right, what he was doing wasn’t love.

But Sunwoo. Sunwoo. You say all of this. You’re the one who ended it in the end. YOU’RE the one who suffered the most. You left. AND YOURE TELLING ME YOU STILL WANT THIS ASSHOLE BACKKK???? AND YOU PURPOSEFULLY WANT HIM IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT AFTER YOU SAID YOU DIDNT?? BROOOO. I get why, I could understand his mentality for the entirety of the novel, and I knew it had to end it with them together, but the way he comes back to this awful toxic pitiful man is honestly too close to home. How many times have I seen my friends do this as well? They want that connection back even if they suffered for it while everyone around them tells them no (MVP award to my GOAT Kim Young-Jin for rightfully telling Sunwoo is stupid as fuck).

I would have less gripes with this kind of ending if the time skip was longer after they made their promise to wait for each other to be fine with Sunwoo not wanting to have a future with Sion (confusing I know). But then you skip like 2-3 months after the fact? No??? I wanted years nothing happens in a few months to make everything right again no. So frustrating man, especially since I love Sunwoo so much it’s like one of your closest friends get back with her toxic EX, it’s actually so frustrating.
