건우가 종적을 감춘 후 더디게 흘러가는 시간을 버티듯 살아가는 의준. 어느덧 3년이 지나 스물여덟을 맞이한다. 건우를 떠올리게 했던 사람과 시작한 연애. 그리고 아르바이트를 전전하다 어렵사리 취업한 중소기업 영업부. 상처받은 마음으로 인한 것일까? 미세하게 불안하지만 남들과 비슷해 보이는 그런 삶을 살고 있다.
의준은 직장 생활에서 막내, 신입이라는 이유로 상사의 사소한 심부름을 하게 되는데 그중 편의점에 가는 것이 가장 달갑지 않다. 그곳이 건우의 명함에서 보았던 그의 직장 CIK 그룹과 마주 보고 있다는 부분이 마음을 무겁게 만들기 때문이다. 함께했던 시간을 잊고자 하는 노력을 비웃듯 이렇게 추억들은 사소한 순간순간에 떠오른다. 그러던 어느 날, 모르는 번호로 뜻밖의 전화가 걸려오고 의준의 마음이 요동치기 시작하는데….
I ADORE THEM SO MUCH. i will never get over them, i fear.

“Listen, Eui-joon. I’m still a bastard and a thug and a goddamn loser. But I like you and that has never changed. If you’re gonna go back to that asshole, then come to me instead.”
“No matter how much you might guess that I like you, I’ll always like you more than you think. And if another moment comes where you ever doubt my feelings, you can always put me to the test. Take these words seriously, Eui-joon. I’m not worthy enough to ask to be your first, but please, let me be your last.” 😭😭
“Big deal. We’ve only gone one round.” “B-but aren’t your old bones aching now? How…?” “The fuck? You only treat me like I’m geriatric when we’re bangin’ away, huh?” PLS they’re so funny 😂😂😂
i’m so in love with this manhwa!! it’s been a few weeks since i’ve first read it and Gunwoo and Euijoon are one of those couples that are still on my mind and they became so special to me. 🥹 i love how cute they are but they can also be hot? THE DUALITY?? and their dynamic is so funny too?? they had me laughing more times than i thought i would. i had . anyways i had such a fun time with this and i love Gunwoo and Euijoon so much. 😭["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>["br"]>
"i'm not worthy enough to ask to be your first...but please, let me be your last."
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 i am not okay. they're officially in my "made me believe in love” shelf
i was not ready for the cute, domestic fluffiness of this last volume + the side stories. this felt like the ultimate reward after the little frustrations i had with the last volumes. it was all worth it to get to this because this was perfect. i'm really left wanting more and i don't feel like that with a lot of manhwas to be honest. i loved how gunwoo communicated with eui joon in his own way, like yes he may not exactly say "i love you" but you can clearly tell how much he does based on his ACTIONS 🥺 i also loved how gunwoo is wayyyyyyy less toxic than you think he's going to be. their relationship had its bumps but it was so genuine and adorable af. this was such a nice change from other manwha’s i’ve read (not that i don’t enjoy those too though).
also in the q&a, the author saying "the only time gunwoo isn't clinging to eui joon, is when he's working." okay i will go cry again now because 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
«—El amor que siento por ti, jamás podrás adivinarlo, porque te amo más de lo que imaginas. No soy tan desvergonzado como para pretender ser el primero pero, por favor, permíteme ser el último.»❤️
📚⇢ Llegamos al final de la historia de nuestro Ahjussi y Euijoon, es hermoso ver como todo se resuelve con el poder de la ✨comunicación✨.

If I could I would give it billion of stars. I actually finished this 2 days ago but coudnt ho here and mark it as read because I didn’t wanted it to be over😭
No but Ahjussi and Eui are my Roman Empire I loved their journey so so much! And i still can’t get my head around how non toxic their relationship was (because most of the manhwa definitely are). Even if I had read this years ago I still cried because of the ending I am just so happy that they found back together and got their deserved happiness. Also their rings took me out again this is was so absolutely beautiful I cried again.
This manhwa just has a really really special place in my heart and I’m devastated that i finished it again, but it also reminded me why this is my comfort read💓🥹
You need to know how to be a simp? Ask Ahjuicy. You need to know how to communicate? Ask Ahjuicy. You need a perfect love confession? Dare I say ask Ahjuicy cuz "I'm not worthy enough to ask to be your first, but please, let me be your last"??! I'm telling you we all just need a grumpy, softie, mafia bad guy Ahjuicy and it'll all be rainbows and sunshine for us (and he also comes with a great amount of boinkadoinks too)
ok so first manhwa ive ever read, and NO JUDGING I AM TRYING NEW THINGS. soooo, this honestly was fun to read. the characters had good personalities and the ARTTTT, omg i love how the characters are drawn. so now onto plot… idk like i like the story but the romance was not like good enough?? it felt like Gun-woo was lowkey using Eui-joon, like Eui-joon genuinely liked him and Gun-woo had some like lines that had me like “AHHH FINALLY” but like it felt forced. so yeah 3.5/5
Please excuse me while I ugly cry. I’ve loved these men through 6 volumes and I’m so happy that they have their forever love, but why can’t it go on for longer????? 😭
1. Si me gustas es porque soy gay y punto 2. No merezco pedirte ser tu primer amor... pero, por favor dejarme ser el último 😭😭😭 3. ¿De que mierdas esta hablando la zángana esa?
“the amount of affection i have for you, no matter how much you guess it, just know that i like you more than you can imagine.” “while it might be a dream, it made me think that, regardless of when i meet ahjussi, i would end up liking him no matter what.” “it doesn’t matter if you can’t smile brightly as you used to. but i hope that the time you spent together with me are the most ordinary and happy days of your life.”
i mean? they’re literally so fucking precious. i’ll miss them a lot… i can’t live without them anymore 🥹 i want to see their wedding ): and their trip ): and more domestic moments ): i want MORE of them ):
To be honest, I never wanted their story to end. This was everything I hoped for and more. Intense, emotional, and beautifully bittersweet.
This volume packs a serious punch. I completely forgot how graphic this series can get (good lord, it does not hold back), yet beneath all that heat lies so much love and vulnerability. You can feel every scar, every soft moment they cling to in a world that keeps trying to tear them apart.
Everyone’s still far too pretty for my sanity, and yes… I cried at the end. I’ll miss these two more than I expected. Their story might be over, but damn… it’s one I’ll be thinking about for a long, long time.
Fue una historia atrapante e interesante hasta que el “baddie” la tiene que cagar huyendo sin explicaciones. Es una dinámica de historia para crear tensiones y angst que me tiene bastante cansada, así que bajó mucho el puntaje para mi toda esa parte. Más porque cuando él vuelve, lo hace después de mucho tiempo y el otro, ya habiéndolo dolido, se encuentra otra vez reviviendo el dolor y, al final, perdonando todo y volviendo a intentarlo. El más choto el que se fue, jajaja. Fuera de eso, la parte romántica entre ellos es linda y tierna.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
It was a very satisfying end for this story. I have had my ups and downs with this series, but I'm really glad I pulled through and read all 6 volumes. I was even feeling a little upset that this was the last one. I read volume 1 as soon as it came out, and have waited for every volume since, so it just felt like the end of something special.
Its always "I love you" and never "I am not worthy enough to ask to be your first but please, let me be your last." 😭🩷😭🩷😭
Ahjussi is the literal definition of the greenest flag man ever who wants to look red flag. This man can do no wrong and there isn't a single toxic fiber in his body 😭👌🏻 He is perfection.
