That was really cute but kaname really did shima bad. Communication is the key in a long term relationship. Good thing that somehow he learned his lesson (as seen from him abstaining from it due to work). I wish we at least had one chapter for their hs story even an extra would've done it but well, still a good read ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Made me remember Taylor's So Long, London song. To think that inwoo's greatest fear is to be left alone again for the same reason that his partner cannot understand how deep his trauma and loneliness is.. Is just heartbreaking :(
It's difficult to love a partner battling with mental illness. I remember one convo I had with my ex when he said, "Most days I cannot love myself, it's also making it difficult for me to love you too." and it broke me so much. It's been years but the fear and pain that he left never healed.
A healthy communication that comes with honesty and respect is what makes a relationship lasts. You address faults not to belittle them but to make them notice and help them overcome it. Nothing should be dismissed even the simplest matter bc these small and simple matters accumulate overtime leaving you nothing but unsettled negative feelings.
I love this couple so much. And it's really a good thing that Natsuki didn't hold back on rejecting the HS boy in a straightforward manner. This will help him settle his feelings and move on. Masterpiece
