Your Eyes, My Words 너의눈, 나의말

by Joeun, 조은

“Every day, I ravenously awaited those 30 minutes”... Hwane is studious, careful, and serious. Jinha is popular, cool, and fun. They seemed so different, and yet, throughout high school, they secretly met up for silent, passionate encounters. Hwane treasured these moments—until he is betrayed by Jinha’s denial of him to their classmates. It haunts him even into adulthood. When chance brings them back together, will it restart their hot love or will they both be burned in disaster?

nice story about a guy who can't shake off the past and his first love/infatuation and how our experiences shape us and how we move in life carrying marks other people left on us.

The art in this was really pretty, though I did notice Hwane's face kind of shifted around in the earlier chapters (like okay, who is this?).
The pacing between them felt really fast once they reunited and at first I wasn't sure how to feel about their dynamic or whether Jinha’s feelings were even genuine. But as the story moved along and we got a peek inside Jinha’s head, it started to make more sense why things between them escalated the way they did.

It’s definitely a short read, but one that actually carries a lot more emotional weight than you'd expect at first glance. The characters are messy in a very human way, both dealing with their own versions of grief and longing and I ended up appreciating how their perspectives unfolded. It’s a love story tangled in loss, but it wraps up in a way that feels right. So yeah, if you’re in the mood for something brief but bittersweet with complex leads, I’d say give it a go!!!

Cuando vi el dibujo pensé: En definitiva esta historia me va a gustar y así fue. El estilo de dibujo me recuerda a mi eterna favorita Momentum. La historia no es triste en general pero hay escenas que me hacían llorar sin entender exactamente el porqué

I really enjoyed this story, the plot was enticing and very relatable. We tend to dismiss arguments, and bad things in relationships and not address them whether that’s in our platonic or romantic commitments. We grow resentful towards each other, hurt each other, and move on which, end up ruining everything as whole. This story pushes the value of communication and understanding. Resolving an issue, airing your heart out to your loved ones is way better than losing them over doubts and pride. I love when authors can send a message across with so little chapters, proves you don’t need much to resonate with others.
