I wonder if she'll ever tell anyone. I kind of hope she does; maybe the prince? I know of stories like this where they never tell the truth because they know that no one would ever believe them. I kind of feel bad for her. Everyone thinks she's had it great her whole life and that she's never worked, when in reality she went an entire life alone and working so hard.
It would've been interesting if she'd been writing her notes in Hangul - which I'm assuming is not their writing system - and her brother saw them. A whole new level of, "Wtf is going on?"

Every time he talked to his old friends and they didn't know him I started crying. I'm glad they picked the brother. When it's done, they'll have a way of befriending their old friends again, if they want. It won't be the same, but it's something. I'll dream they all run into each other someday and the kids remember them.
My biggest complaint is bothering to mention Tamarai's crush. I think we can all agree Aki has a crush on her. Since she said her crush likes someone else, I'm guessing it's Nobu. Anyway, it's kind of annoying they just gave us that, and then decided to never touch it again.
Overall, a great story that had me bawling on multiple occasions. Finished it in less than three days, no regrets.
Also, YoakeXAn becomes canon later on, and you can pry that headcanon from my cold, dead body.

In the past I wanted the parents to know the truth, but honestly, I don't want them to know now. Taemin is never going to be involved in their life in the end. He doesn't feel an attachment to them, and he'll never be the son they knew. All they have left in the end is their other child. He's a piece of shit, but he'll never get what he wants now. He'll be looking behind his shoulder for the rest of his life. Ostracize him at school with the truth, sure, but I just don't want those poor parents to suffer anymore.
CAUGHT IN THE ACT!
