Kang Seulgi is only 21. 

She could even pass as a teenager when she guffaws in excitement and smiles in delight.

But once she starts to write and draw - one cannot help but think she's way older, wiser than her years.

But she's treading on dangerous grounds - at least this is what Joohyun thinks.

"Joy, bakit mo inapprove 'yung info and advocacy material na ginawa ni Seulgi?" Joohyun asked, worried as they sip their coffee at the pantry. 

"Were you referring to the poster which juxtaposes a disintegrating nuclear medicine facility and the brains of Filipinos being shrunk with those of firemen being handed firearms?"

"Yes, yun nga."

"What's wrong with it?"

"Look, I know what that kid is trying to say in her posters. The government slashed our research and development funds by P76 million. Nawalan tayo ng pera para makapagpatayo ng nuclear medicine facility, alam ko-"

"Nuclear medicine facility na itatayo sana para sa nuclear CT scans for early diagnosis of cancer," Seulgi cut her off.  The trainee she and Joy were talking about entered the pantry and couldn't help but catch their conversation.

"Alam ko Dr. Joohyun na alam ninyo kung ilan ang namamatay na Pinoy sa cancer taon-taon."

Joohyun can only answer in a timorous voice. "70,000."

"70,000. 70,000 na Pilipino na could have known they have cancer when it is not yet in the advanced stage if only we have the means for early detec

Chapter 30: I'm crying 😭 This is too good, so heartwarming. Grabe 'yung pinagdaanan nila and how they strengthened each other. They might've lost what they had at a time but they found each other again, braver and better the second time around. I love this so much. Thank you for writing. 🥺

Chapter 30: wow, this fic is just WOW. i wish joohyun's character did not do what she did but i guess if she does then this story will not be good as hell. im trying to read more tagalog seulrene fics bc i feel like i almost read the english ones but the tagalog fics are way too long and more complicated than this at sobrang daming red flag either ni seulgi or ni irene, hindi ko ma-take andi like this writing style better. thank you for writing this fic author, i enjoyed it so much

Chapter 30: Wow. This is probably one of the few tagalog (of taglish basta Pinas ang setting) fics that I've read na may tama talaga yung story. Madalas kasi ang angst ng tagalog fics puro external driving force and walang character development. Puro toxic relationship na walang roots. Ang ganda ng self (re)discovery ni Joohyun and Yung very human na justification ng kagagahan nya (the familiar heartbreak vs. new heartbreak) ang ganda ganda ng atake ng angst na yun!
