It's a happy(?) ending. I want to say that it's an open ending because while the happy end is implied, it also left us hanging like the end of Inception movie. So the readers never really know what happens next, bit everything makes sense as to why we aren't allowed to know since we're just readers. Just like Kim Dokja, a reader, till the end.
ORV has managed to make me cry a lot when I first read the novel. It's a bittersweet story and one of my favourites. For new readers, hold on because you're about to have an emotional journey reading this.
