These two finally get it right. With lots of communication, talking about the pain that they inflicted on each other and reassuring each other that it won’t happen again. Seeing these two happy in the end, made up for all the pain.
In the physical volume, I do not know why the epilogue came before the side stories? The side stories definitely were further into the future? Anyway, I do like that the side stories were in color. Those chapters were definitely spicy though!!!!

I really enjoyed this series. If you like a story with flawed characters that have trauma to resolve, then this is for you! Nothing more satisfying than a story about characters who grow and redeem themselves!!!

this review is for all the story, not only this book

Now, I have a bittersweet feeling about this story. On the one hand I loved it because Jaeha is such a well-written character, but on the other hand I hated it because all's well that ends well but... But! Something is missing. I don't even know. I feel like I've been through too much pain with this story for everything to be okay out of the blue. Yes, there was a lot of character development, but I also felt that Jaeha and Eunho lacked a little more growth. I also missed being able to see their wedding, I missed seeing them bond with their families and friends, I missed seeing them deepen their feelings more intensely. I missed a lot of things that are usually necessary for a relationship to settle down. Overall, a very well-written story, but it lacked that “wow” factor to make me totally happy.


Ps: the side stories are colorful and I was very uncomfortable with the fact that Eunho has brown hair. I always imagined him as blond. I don't even know. It made me sad. Was I the only one? 😅

It was good! Page 148 is where the story ends, however, you’re in for a real treat after that in the coming pages of side stories. FULL COLOR PAGES UNTIL THE END!! Sex aside, I do appreciate their relationship and how it shows how normal it is in terms of being upset with your partner over promises like drinking or coming home late despite saying you were in your way. Light things that have bigger consequences. I like it shows care and love. Eunho can be too territorial for my taste sometimes, but I feel he makes up for it in romance somehow and also his deep loyalty to Jaeha and the relationship. It’s nice to see Jaeha happy (also), but I’m more resolved on how the main story ended. I wish the parents knew? Also, how sad is it (at least looking it up in 2026) that gay marriage is still illegal in South Korea (or just Korea in general..). Anyway… you’ll enjoy the final volume and feel like you’ve gotten the most out of the series. COME ON FULL COLOR IS HARS TO BEAT!!

Things start out rough in this volume, and understandably so given where it picks up from the previous volume. It would also seem like much more time passes between encounters than what it may come across as with the quick turn of a page given the multiple holidays in this volume. All that aside, once the boys start talking, it's apparent they really do want the same thing, they're just both afraid (with good reason). The remainder of the series is almost sickenly sweet as the boys seem to be making up for lost time and then some. They both have their turn at moments of jealousy that are highlighted in this volume as well. While it's arguable that there still isn't a definite "ending," there is enough talk of their future and plans together for readers to imagine how things go, especially given the way things usually end up when these two are together.

I loved this story so much!
The heartbreak and angst and growth and love 🥺❤️
The characters were nicely developed and I adored the art. Fell so in love with the books and devoured the whole series in like a day or two.
