A Pushover's Romance

Complete | Moscareto,모스카레토, Hyun Lee | 2000 released

This gave me Sekaiichi Hatsukoi vibes. Minjun disappeared out of Jinhwan's life without a word after they slept together for the first time. They meet again at work and Minjun holds a grudge against Jinhwan because he thinks Jinhwan was playing with his feelings. Minjun fell for Jinhwan at first sight on a bus, but Jinhwan had already fallen for him way before that when he saw Minjun at the bar. Anyways, they tiptoe around each other because it's their first love and it ends badly with both hurting. After meeting up again, they clear out the misunderstanding but Minjun thinks it just won't work. Unlike Sekaiichi Hatsukoi, there isn't any noncon. Jinhwan is pushy but he isn't forceful, just casual and chill, go with the flow kind of guy. I did cry a few time reading this because the loneliness of being single and pining over your first love and seeing them again after so long just hit the spot. From being 20 year old college students trying out their first relationships to 30 year old office workers reworking their relationship, it was great! Would have gave 5/5 but it didn't have me by my throat. It was short and sweet. Also, JINHWAN IS SO GORGEOUS!! The art is so good!! Minjun is pretty for sure but goddamn, Jinhwan looks like a Kpop idol.
