Why you should read this story:

Left In Ruins is a complex college love story in which characters are tested to their very limits.

Kim jongin has just begun his college journey and in the process encountered, Park Daeun. At first they’re nothing but acquaintances; hanging around the same people.  But as they get to know each other, a new friendships blossoms. As their new friendships blossoms, so do deeper emotions. But we all know there’s a fine line between close friendships and love, once that line is crossed, there’s no going back. Whatever happens, they’ll have to deal with the consequences.

So, that’s my summary of the story. Left In Ruins deals with false hope, indecisiveness, expectations, disappointment, short-lived happiness, and long-lasting sadness. heykelli-youandme has based her story on experiences she’s had so far in college which I believe adds realism to the story. Left In Ruins encircles around the risks of being friends to something so much more than that.
