Isn't it good?

I liked how it ended with them still in college—it makes their story feel unfinished in a good way. It was short, since it cuts off right when Hyobin finally makes their relationship “official.” Hyobin took time to understand his feelings, which makes sense since he never saw himself in a same-sex relationship before. Was Gichan wrong for hiding his casual relationship with Shinyoung? Yes, but he’s a well-written character with realistic flaws. At that time, he was still “courting” Hyobin. But given that they were already intimate, their relationship felt fragile, especially since they started as BFF. Avoiding Shinyoung is good for Hyobin’s mental health for now, but I wish Gichan had at least explained why—he owed Shinyoung that much, considering he was there for Gichan when he needed a listening ear. Overall, this story feels raw and realistic. It doesn’t rush into a perfect love story but explores confusion, personal growth, and the risks of redefining a 10yrs friendship. The open-ended nature makes it even more compelling—there’s still room for them to grow, both individually and as a couple. (▰˘◡˘▰)

such an impeccable writing and art style! I just randomly check this and now I'm a fan haha I honestly loved how well written Min Jiho while still making him look naive and stupidly cute lol I also love that no one in the characters are inherently bad, all our in grey colours and you would feel that you understand their POV. Even Hyundo's character as a young ambitious yet emotionally ignorant is well-written and that you would feel a bit pity for him because his lack of sexual understanding made him lose his first love. Excited for next chapters!
