In the end, it’s all momentary

Love is momentary

It’s just a passing dream

I don’t want to wake up yet

“Hyukjae! Lee Hyukjae! Come here!”

Donghae stopped in his tracks, holding out his hand. He waited for Hyukjae to grab it. As soon as he did, they walked down a narrow pavement, onto a field of grass. Hyukjae was holding the bouquet that Donghae had given him, pressing it to his chest. He was beaming, squeezing Donghae’s hand as they moved, the sounds of their footsteps swallowed by the soil beneath their feet.

“God,” Donghae whined, sighing. “My memory is getting so bad, Hyukjae. Do you remember where it is?”

“Of course not! I thought you were supposed to remember.”

Donghae shook his head, grinning to himself. “I’m only kidding. How could I forget where it is? That place is special to us.”

Hyukjae frowned, having a hard time comprehending what Donghae meant. “What do you mean?”

“Nah, you don’t have to know. We’re here. Give me the flowers, please.” Donghae said softly, letting go of Hyukjae’s hand. He waited for Hyukjae to hand the bouquet to him, raising it to his nose to take a whiff of its scent. He sighed contentedly, turning around.

“Go find your mother, alright? Tell her to wait for me by the hut. I’ll be here for a while.”

“Okay, Appa.”

Chapter 6: I've read this for the nth time and still made me bawl my eyes out just the same. I really love how you wrote this angsty story about our favorite EunHae. 🥹🥰🥹

Chapter 6: I embarked on this journey with clear mind that it was angst, as you mentioned initially. I came prepared and yet it was still hurtful.
My favorite moment is when they’re on bed and Hyukjae tells that he loves Donghae.
Knowing he’s ill, it makes it sound different and at the same time you know for Donghae it sounds the same because he’s still clueless.
My second favorite moment is when Donghae peppers Hyukjae with kisses and gives him a kiss on the lips.
You managed to portray what they mean for each other and having Hyukjae asking Donghae “let me go” was so sad… the epilogue gives you some peace of mind because you can see Donghae is doing well regardless of this huge void he gotta deal with.
Truly well delivered, now I will be sad for the rest of the day🥲✌🏻

Chapter 6: I cried. So much. This reminded me of my aunt. She was everything to me cause she was there for me on my worst and my best. She got diagnosed with cancer and on her last day.. i wasn't there weith her because i didn't know and i had homework. I got a call saying she.. left. Andi cant help but regret not visiting her on that day. It was a thursday and i was wearing my schools uniform, i remember it so clearly it hurts

Chapter 6: Wow, I guess I really needed a good cry. This is so heartbreaking, and it reminds me of losing my grandmother. She was tired, but fine, and suddenly everything went to hell and we lost her. I feel Donghaes pain, the anger and frustration of not being able to do anything but watch. I might be a wreck right now, but thank you <'33
