Chapter 1: This invoked so many feels...

First of all, the part about being from two different cultures, and learning how to navigate the difference in societies and heritages is super real. I've been having to deal with it since I moved to the US from Russia since I was 8. Being a teen and hearing that you are "too much" of a culture, or you are "not enough" of it, is a struggle. It gets easier with age, especially when you learn self-determination and how to not care about the opinions of others, but it growing up.

Then there is The Friendship. I had a friendship like that in high school and early college, where we spent all of our time together. It shaped how I grew up, taught me everything I knew for a long time, and it was what I thought I needed at the time. Even though there were no romantic feelings on my end, I can sympathise with Hansol in this story. I know it took me a while to find my own path after the disintegration of the friendship, and I still remember her from time to time to this day. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for him to get over his first love.

Actually, I know how long it took me to get over my first love, but luckily they did not have the same impact on me as Joshua did on Hansol in this fic, so I did not hurt for as long as him. My recovery was around as long as Seungcheol's, and it ended well.

Thank you for this!
