Chapter 1: I liked someome too, he had his 7-year girlfriend with him. I did feel like he was meant somehow to be in my life, for us to click instantly and for me to feel strangely strong emotions everytime I met him. I'm thankful to finally be able to decide the end of everything, like how Daehyun did in the story. I hope later we could remain friends like Youngjae and Daehyun should never seperate as best friends for life. Thank you again for sharing your experience so I could speak about it, thank you :)

Chapter 1: Oh gosh. It hit me hard.
I don't know why, but 90% of the Daejae's fics I've read have this sad and melancholy in them that always get me on my knees.
This one wasn't the exception.
So gorgeous, and it reminded me of my first love. It wasn't like this one at all, but the feeling at the end... That. I lived that.
I held on tightly to a love that wasn't mine for four years, but when the time came, I felt like I could let it go. Perhaps in another life, that's what I always feel. In another life we can be together, so I'll stay with the good memories in this one.

Chapter 1: I feel like my heart has just been crashed into tiny little pieces. But this was very beautiful. Thank you so much for this. Waiting for another part, hopefully?

Chapter 1: Hats off, this is masterpiece authornim. My heart aches and I'm almost tearing up through the end. All the pain and sadness that Daehyun hold, the unrequited love between him and Youngjae and how he keep blaming himself by taking things too far than it should be.

It is so sad that he was head over heels with Youngjae, deeply in love until he couldn't reach the surface of reality at some point, but he's still standing on the steady ground when he knows that Youngjae will never be his. ㅠ. ㅠ

I can feel every change of emotions vividly and it means that you're great expressing yours while writing it. Whoever life event is this, i wish he/she will find someone who sees them as the center of their gravity and love them as what they deserve.

Thanks for this story authornim. <3<3
