Double update!

“Wait, I think I remember this place.”

Mark and Youra smiled at each other before looking back in front again. The latter took a right turn and slowed down in front of a school.

“Hey, this is your elementary school!” Jackson said a bit too loudly as he recognised the building. He got out of the car and stood on the sidewalk, watching as the younger kids played in the playground and the older kids chatted. “I remember always being jealous you guys got to go here together.”

Mark and Youra got out of the car and stood by him. “Funny, we were jealous of you. I mean, you got to eat baozi almost every day after school.”

Jackson waved his hand in dismissal. “That stall got boring after going there only twice, trust me you weren’t missing out on anything. I on the other hand,” Jackson sighed. “I missed out on the American childhood.”

“Hey man, you still went to an international school there. Oh, remember that American you dated there?” Mark asked as he tried to think of her name. “Her name started with an A, didn’t it? Adr-” He stopped and cleared his throat when he remembered that Jackson had never told Youra about the American girl. He had worried that she would disapprove and ended up telling only Mark.

Stupid thought to say the least, considering how Youra was the one helping him in all his relationships, what with her being the only female in the trio.

Youra put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow. “And why is this the first I’m hearing of this American girl whose name starts with A?”

Mark and Jackson looked at each other before chuckling nervously. Jackson whispered something to Mark and the two of them ran away as Youra chased behind them.

The children in the playground paused and watched as three adults screamed and ran around, not really looking their age at all. A few looked at each other in shock while some laughed in amusement.

“Yah! Get back here, you two!”

She eventually caught up to them when Jackson and Mark started slowing down. She would have hit them but she was too busy trying to catch her breath, as were the other two.

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 19: Well, Mark ain't gonna be happy when he founds out that Youra does actually have a boyfriend now XD You reap what you sow I suppose

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.
