Byul didn't know what to feel.

It was the first time after a long time that she's seen someone that resembled Yongsun so much.

After Yongsun's departure, her family went to the US to help with their grieving process. It was hard for them to look anywhere in their hometown and not be reminded of Yongsun.

"Yonghee." Byul couldn't hide her surprise.

Yonghee, Yongsun's older sister takes a step forward to hug her sister-in-law. "Byul. It's been a long time. I've missed you." she states in a friendly manner.

"I know." Byul says despite her tone. She can't believe Yonghee is actually in front of her. Somehow she still feels starstruck everytime she sees her. It wasn't a secret that she had a crush on Yongsun's older sister for a while. But what she's really curious about is why Yonghee is in Korea. She wanted to know if she'd be staying for good. "What brought you here? Are you here for good, is it for business? -are you just visiting?"

"I just have someone I've been meaning to meet." Yonghee replies, her smile falters for just a second but Moonbyul was quick enough to notice.

"I see." Byul answers, she wanted to ask more but she didn't want to pry.

"Anyway, how are you? How have you been?" Yonghee might have sounded casual but her eyes showed her concern with how Moonbyul's been coping. The younger girl barely answers her texts or calls when she checks up on her, so she depends on Seulgi to give her updates about her sister-in-law.

Moonbyul would've liked it if Yongsun's family stayed in Korea after Yongsun's departure. Maybe then Byul wouldn't have felt so alone. Maybe then she wouldn't feel alienated for feeling so sentimental about everything. Maybe the grieving process wouldn't be as hard as it was, if only she'd had someone who loved Yongsun as close as she did. 

But that's all in the past now.

She's past the grieving stage.

...Wow...Byul didn't think she'd ever been able to say that, even if it was only in her mind.

She's past the grieving stage. She's finally moving on with her life.

Moonbyul didn't know why she hesitates to answer that she was fine. She hasn't been fine until recently. And she wasn't sure how Yonghee would react if she tells her the reason behind her happiness.

"I'm coping..." Byul settles. "I'm

Chapter 23: Quite an emotional ending. The other week I was reading about how, infrequently, organ transplant recipients seem to take on traits of the donor, read through this with that idea in mind.

Chapter 23: When I found your story, I read it all in one night, till ch. 22, and I can hear the crash sound of my heart when its ended with, "...maybe this won't work". I thought really that was the finale like, "we will not getting all in our life", I hold on it.

But then, after awhile, I check my subscription page, and your story was on top. I remembered the title tho. And like a flashback, I remember all the plot. And I checked, just to make sure its really another chapter, the closure, not only an update from author, and, and I feel soo overwhelming now. I didn't know I am too invest with this story.

I'm not a writer I really don't know how I can write, more to my ramblings, this long. But author-nim, thank you. Thank you for all the emotions you manage to wake inside me. I really really love your writing. Not only the plot, but the emotions in your writing that you put. Ah I don't know what its call, but I really admire your writing style. So, thank you and keep going and have a nice day!

Chapter 23: Reading this chapter brought me a lot of emotions. It feels like I am at the edge of mountain while reading the next sentences. It catches reader's attention. At first I thought that Wheein is already dead but its not. From that point, my trust issues on you authornim heightens and made me overthink on what's next to come but kudos to you author for giving us a wonderful story and giving us heart attack. This story is so good. Congratulations, author for this well written fic. More to come pleaseeeee.

Chapter 22: My heart clenched just reading this story especially the time I read about Wheein's father and how the accident happened. Wheein and Moonbyul's feelings are valid. They both experienced different kind of pain from their lost loved one. I love the conflict but it hurts like hell. The father of Wheein is one of the reasons why Yongsun died. Fate had been terrible for the two. They were meant to meet but not meant to be together. They can't push aside each others struggle and pain. It will be a never ending conflict to the two of them if they will push through their relationship

Chapter 22: Aaaaahhhhhhhh MY HEART
Istg if wheebyul doesn’t end up together im gonna throw hands 😭😭😭 I love this story and truthfully like I get both sides. Neither side is wrong for feeling how they feel. The guilt that wheein has is so heavy like I get why she would be uncomfortable and want to break it off despite the fact that she loves her. This story hurts. Even if they part I feel like it will take forever for byul to recover from losing. Not only ONE (not by choice) lover but her SECOND.as well and walking away (their choice). Like how is she gonna find someone else. Like I won’t be surprised if she s traumatized because everyone she loved left her both willingly and unwillingly. Wheein too like ughhhhhh she also deserves so much happiness and peace. I hope that they just take a long long break, byul learns to forgive wheezing father and wheein learns to be okay and at peace with her fathers passing. I hope both heal and come back together. Authornim you can’t just let them part like that PLEASEDE
