“Stop peeking!” Youra whined as she moved away from Mark. “Continue writing.”

You know how people say ‘Where have you been all my life?’, I can’t really say that, because you’ve been by my side all along.

“I just want to see a little!” Mark tried to reason, although he knew there was no way Youra would relent. “Come on.”

Youra looked at her piece of paper and back at her fiancée before sighing. “Fine.”

Mark drew his brows together. “That’s it? Well, that was easy.” Mark moved forward to read when Youra turned the paper over and laughed. “Psych, er! You really thought I would let you read my wedding vows? Ha!”

Mark shook his head. “Should have known.” He looked at her paper and smiled. “I can still sort of read it.”

Thank you for all the times you stuck around though. There were times when I thought that my life was pretty much over, times where even getting out of bed was a struggle, but you stood by me, without a complaint.

“What?” Youra hugged the paper to her chest, making Mark laugh.

“Now who’s the er?”

She rolled her eyes and moved further away. “Get lost, Tuan.”

The odd idea of writing their wedding vows in front of each other a week before the wedding occurred them to yesterday, when they were on a video call with Jackson, who had appointed himself as their wedding planner ever since Mark had proposed.

Jackson had asked about whether they were done with their vows and when met with the answer of no, immediately started fussing over how that should have been the first thing they did as an engaged couple.

Mark and Youra had written him off in the moment but in the end decided to finish it the next day, not knowing however that writing vows in front of each other would turn out to be such a hassle.

“Are you talking about that bear story? I hope you aren’t. Wasn’t my proudest moment.”

Chapter 29: to be fair I'd be just like Jackson. why you two so slow? stupid fools who get too caught up in their emotions and fail to notice the most obvious path XD

Chapter 28: hello I'm back! after a while of getting settled on new job and finishing off a new story that invaded my brain despite my attempts to take a break from writing I'm back to reading others' stories! I quite enjoyed this chapter, and felt a bit teary during Youra's conversation with Key. Definitely struck a few chords there. One thing, I noticed that Youra calls You-jin 'noona' but that's how a male refers to older woman. A female would refer to an older woman as 'unnie'. Unless this was intentional and was explained earlier in the story and I just forgot in which case you can ignore this XD

Chapter 26: i don't know how you manage to hold back to posting once I month. I tried that once and it did it work out and actually posted 3 chapter a day for a good while XD I just fear getting a backlog of unpublished chapters once I start a new story

Chapter 25: the trio interaction is so cute haha. Also they seriously need to fix their issue of not verbally expressing stuff and talking about their actions. Communication peeps come on. It will make the whole process a lot less stressful XD

Chapter 21: Oh my, that letter definitely brought tears to my eyes. I also had a pretty good suspicion of what happened to Namjoon, especially because of his parting words and his final gift to Youra and Taehyung was each other.

Chapter 18: My my, does Youra realise what she's feeling? Or is she just running away from her real emotions and going with what is thrown at her first? that won't do little lady, don't hurt poor innocent Taehyung XD

Chapter 14: hmmmm I have to say I'm not too sure of how I feel about Taehyung. He seems adorbs and all but kissing her out of the blue when you can't yet ascertain how she feels? Though that may be just my personal reaction since I personally am more of a "whatdoyouwanstayawayfromme" haha.

It might have been nicer to tease out all the emotional conflicts a bit more before letting it all explode to have a bigger impact. Because there is the Mark "what do i feel goddamnit" and jackson's "let's have fun yo" and Taehyung's hoobae crush, it might have been nicer to flesh them out individually more for the audience to get a better understanding of what they feel, so that there is a bigger build up.

Hope I don't come off too full of myself haha

Chapter 10: Man, the parents going off on holiday kinda pissed me off? Like don't you realise you should be spending more time with your kid? Especially after the sour note you left it at? I'm really not getting a good impression of the parents now haha

Chapter 8: Whew, this chapter took me on quite an emotional rollercoaster. I was a bit confused at first regarding the timeline of everything though, like when the sister died, how long it has been and how everything unfolded afterwards.
