Chapter 1: Wow wow wow this is a masterpiece! Hostestly it hit me so hard. I binged it last night and I dont care about the eyestrain or headache because it was worth it XD

This fic is so beautifuly written, it's probably the best hwiyoung fic I've read!!! The plot was super interesting, it had me wondering how on earth are they going to get their happy ending but damn, it was not how I imagined!!!

It was only at the end that I realised the last 2 minutes minutes had left were the original 77 days she began with right?

And the vocab you used was amazing, I was so trapped in it I just read it all in one sitting. Not to mention once I had finished it I fangirled A LOT!! 😭😭
The romance sure took its time but it was so innocent. Every interaction between them had me on my toes.

The last thing on my mind before I slept. I still feel the excitement now lmaoo

Thank you for writing this, I throughly enjoyed it!!
