Chapter 2: Ooh, now we get to see things from Byul's perspective! I'm really glad that we get to do so because now the feeling of regret can really be felt. While reading only Yongsun's perspective I felt like this feeling is not really brought up to the surface. This chapter complements the previous one and makes this story complete, because here we find out that Byul has feelings for Yongsun too! And we get to see that, like Yongsun, she tried to suppress her feelings. I like that we now know about what happened at the moments which Yongsun referred to as the ups and downs of Byul's relationship. In wanting to stay away from Yongsun, Byul made the decision to try to be faithful to her partner, and in doing so it made her feel worse when she 'finally' cheated on her partner after all the previously false accusations. Again, the scene of the wedding got me feeling all sorts of emotions. Yongsun's still on Byul's mind even on her special day. I cannot at this angst ;-; I really like how the last paragraphs of both chapters are written. Yongsun was somewhat able to get past the regret while Byul's living her regret all her life. I think with both chapters, the feeling of regret really sets in when after reading this chapter, I kept thinking about the 'could have been's. There's also the question of what if somehow both Byul and Yongsun found out that they actually had feelings for each other. While I feel that would be an example of the ultimate regret, this story shows regret in another form which is that of unspoken words and wrong timings. Thank you very much for this story. :))
Chapter 1: Hello there! I've enjoyed reading this chapter. I felt that the flow of the story is really good. The way you wrote is makes the story easy to read and understand, and the simplicity of the narrative amplifies Yongsun's feelings. Reading in through Yongsun's perspective really brings out the angst right from the start. It was painful reading this (among other lines): 'Seeing her and being with her has been my entire life and if I were to just cut her out, I would feel an empty void inside of me. I have begun learning how to deal with these overflowing feelings inside of me.' How could Yongsun not kiss Byul back when she has so much repressed feelings? The scene at Byul's wedding is beautifully described. When Byul was standing in front of Yongsun, wow it hurts so bad because it's funny how Byul's standing there not as her wife. And then at the end when Byul wished Yongsun luck, that must have been so heartbreaking for Yongsun because how could she find a replacement for Byul? After I finished reading this chapter I was thinking, if this chapter shows Yongsun's regret, then the next one would be about Byul's? But why would Byul feel that way? Moving on to the next chapter~
