Chapter 1: I'm crying mess 😭😭I hope Joohyun find her own happiness too 🥺😭

Chapter 1: This hit home way too much. I was in a similar situation before. My parents and my brother are the ones i treasure the most in this world but they are also super overprotective. So when i told them that i like that one guy friend and we actually like each other, my family freaked out and went all crazy on me. They told me that they would never approve of this relationship and told me to stop meeting or even trying to contact him again. They even took my phone away. I was devastated. Because i never had a fight with my family before or dared to even talk back. They thought that he was the one hitting on me and planning it all but i told them that we were close friends and we just naturally developed feelings for each other. But they didn‘t even wanted to hear what i had to say. So eventually i couldn‘t fight my family for him and we broke it off before we were even able to date. He told me not to contact him until he feels ready to face me again so i never contacted him. Until now i feel so sorry for getting him into this situation. He used to be very close to my family and was a close friend of my brother too but after that incident they treated him like an enemy. Now they have gotten closer as friends again but it still feels a little awkward for me to meet him with my family around. I act uninterested or nonchalant when his name comes up. I still care about him but i can‘t show that i care. That is the one that actually hurts me the most. He will always have a special place in my heart andi think deep inside he still has a soft spot for me too. Maybe at another time, another place or in another life, we could have been together. So that was my bittersweet „Almost“ too

Why does the foreword says it has 18k words and the only chapter available is 9k???

Chapter 1: god they deserved the happy ending in this life too I hate seulgis dad so much but I get it seulgi did right logically anyways thank you for this it was beautiful

Chapter 1: Oh my god I just read tnjs now... This is si heartbreaking 😭😭😭 I was reading this out in the open and I literally burst into tears 🤧 This is good!

Chapter 1: This is sooooooooo good !! I love the angst !

Chapter 1: waah that hurt. a lot.

This will forever break my heart. I first read it while listening to "Lose" by niki on repeat. And since it's my fav song, I'd remember this every single time ㅠㅠ I cried while reading, and even whenever I'd remember this story because of how real this is. Seulgi can't just leave her son and Jongin just because she wants to be with Irene again. But what's the realest here is Seulgi's father. I can imagine my mother being like him, and it scares me. My mother can be very loving and I'm her favorite child, but when she caught me and my girlfriend in one of our chats online, I just can't admit to mom that what I had with that girl was real because I know what mom could do to her, being the very overprotective mother she is to me. She even threatened to report her for child abuse while I was still underage that time and she's past eighteen. So instead, I denied and harshly cut off every connection with my girlfriend. Until now, years after, we have feelings for each other but she has a new girlfriend now while I'm loveless because I can't risk another break up with someone who deserves so much more than what I can give. And she calls me her "almost." And that maybe, in another lifetime, no one would stop us from being together.

Chapter 1: I'm not really sure what to feel. Confused(and mad) as to why Seulgi never got that letter(could be father's interception). Sad as to how they had to find out years that they still love each other. Broken as to how they just have to live their life apart knowing each other's love but they know that each has their own life to live with other people involved(Gom, Jongin, Jin)
tbh not really a fan of angst because it affects my mood greatly but this was too good not to read. Thank you for writing
