Hi,

I just suddenly feel like writing a note, and this note is gonna be the last “new update” notification you will receive from this story, I swear.

A few of you have asked for an epilogue, a Byulyi’s POV or something like that, but as I’ve said, I will leave it for your imagination. I know the ending of this story might not have satisfied all of you. Some of you might still confuse about this ending.

“Is it a happy ending or sad ending?”

“Has Byulyi ever got any feelings for Yongsun or not?”  

…

But I’m here not to answer these questions for you, or I can say there is no fixed answer. I believe each of you will have your own answer. Each of you has your own perspective, your own story, your own experience… Some might think love means being together, while some might think love means sacrifice. There is no right or wrong.

 

There’s only one thing I can make sure. Yongsun didn’t lose to Junghoon or herself. She lost to “time.” And here is my favorite quote from Reply 1988, also one of my inspirations when I wrote this story:

“Time continues on. That’s why time eventually creates farewells, and it always leaves people with regrets. If you love someone, you have to tell them now before your fleeting days become filled with regret. In some ways, the biggest present that time leaves us with is the memories we have of loving others. That’s why you have to shove embarrassment aside and confess your love

Chapter 9: I tell myself that I re-read this for "fun" knowing it is not fun at all ... With that said, this is top-tier angst. Love .. it's beautiful. It doesn't always turn out the way we dream it would. But that doesn't mean it isn't there. That it isn't real. Sometimes, all we can do is to love genuinely. Maybe not loudly. Maybe not even truthfully. All we can do is love.

Honestly, I was pushed into tears every moment of reading this. Partly because (without the intention to assume any of the women's ualities, etcetra) I recognize how close to reality this could be. Indeed, Byul loves her family so much. Her dream is to build them a house, how nice is that? Yongsun is the same. They're filial daughters, good people, and great at being there for each other. As a fan, I think I would truly shed tears on the day they begin life as wives or mothers. But it would also be so beautiful to be able to see them share their great selves with their chosen people. We can only hope only happier days will greet them from now on.

Great work! I absolutely loved it, and this is one of those pieces that I think I couldn't ever forget about. It was amazing.

Chapter 9: This makes my heart clenched and my tear ducts work too hard. I feel like i got hit with a truck of emotions and I can't stop thinking how this is so beautifully written. I feel like I'm in step with Yongsun in each step of her way. Also, really love the quote you put because it made me put my life in perspective and how I should not forget the things I have in present and regret it later on. Thank you for your hard work and I hope to see more! Now I'm going to read the rest of your stories :DD

Chapter 10: I was not going to read this because honestly angst stories are written so well, but they always make me cry a river so I try to avoid them as much as possible until I can't anymore. I also feel like I can relate to this because after breaking up with my ex I wondered "what would have happened if we did something different" or just things like that, and just look back at the memories we shared together. Now this story has given me a different look in live and that even though she was my first love, I will never be able to forget about her so I might as well cheshire those moments because they will never go away.

Chapter 10: Yup, totally true. The only way to move on is to completely cut all of it but that’s too going to be hurt. People say time will heal the pain but honestly it was because of you are getting use to it, the pain becomes less noticeable.
