Probably one of the healthiest BLs I've read that's also realistic enough. Honestly, even if this wasn't BL, I might have still read this. The overall pacing, the way they interact with one another, their chemistry and overall 'unproblematictiness' between the two of them is fresh and peaceful. There's a lack of smut scenes (which I'm fine with ofc). Some author's who want to try that "healthy" approach especially in mangas, somehow end up making the story somewhat boring. That's the best way to put it. However, sensei in this one just makes everything feel so— natural. From the dynamic, approach and whole plot. Nothing is forced, not even in their relationship.

Been literal years since I've last read this and back then, it was only 2 volumes. Crazy. I felt like I grew up with them in a way. It's very nostalgic. I find it nice that not everyone got their happy ending. Realistically, that's how life is. Bot everyone has the courage and even if they do attain that courage, it doesn't always work out. I don't wanna say it's a fake life with a fake path, but as many novels and other manga have taught me, it their own reality and road. I hope to the people who are walking in similar road right now find their own solace and happiness in their own little way. You're in my mind, always.

First couple of chapters somewhat annoyed me but the later ones, especially the side stories were amazing. I love when semes thaf actually feels like people and not overly stereotyped cliche MLs that are stoic and almost robot-like with not an inch of imperfections except hmm slightly manipulative? Overly possessive? And overtly neurotic? Ye. No.

I didn't know this was completed wth mangago why didn't you update???!! TT
I love this to tid bits I swear. Maybe cause I have a soft heart with grandparents (legit BAWLED when vid was shown of him at the end). Also tbe the couple. Jiyoung is so patient and mature. A rare breed of an ML in fiction and all the more rare–do they even exist?— irl. Haekyoung was also so well done by the author. I love how he's not your stereotypical poor MC that'll take us through pitiful and unecessary drama. Author-nim really hit the feels and clichés without making it cringe!
