Chapter 1: Oh god a cliffhanger,
I normally don't comment on the first chapter, as I feel lost and not connected to the characters, but I didn't expect the chapter to end here

Tomorrow is my day off
I Will definitely read the rest

Chapter 1: 🔥💗🔥💗🔥

Chapter title: Are You Talking About Me?

I love how you started off the chapter and how the pace of it took place. ^^ Even though it was her first day, and she was a bit late, she managed to get along with everyone and have a pleasant experience - even through the following days. 👍👌 But as I was coming to the end of the chapter things got a bit odd and it got me curious! That is definitely one cliffhanger! 👍👌

Thank you for an amazing start! I am looking forward to seeing what happens next!

Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Such a nice chapter!! I had many parts that i loved but lets see how much i can put together here hehe. I love Haerin and Eric together. Its just so easy and tender. Not just how we as readers perceive but also for the characters themselves. Its very precious. Also loved how thoughtfully Haerins conflict about having these new feelings was portrayed. Even when she was with Eric, and when she was back and speaking to the tree...and all her lifestyle changes...shes getting through it the way she can and I look forward to how she processes it further esp when (if im guessing right) Eric is in Korea (going by the last scene hehe)
I like how all the other characters are so nicely weaved in too... like Jun who shares the loss and trauma with Haerin...and Benji and Dayeong...Jonghyun...everyone has purpose in Haerin's life and help her and care for her in their own ways and Haerin helps and cares for them too...its so wholesome
Also i wholeheartedly love Kaiser. Love the bit about his "boss lady and boss baby" hehehehe
I enjoyed this chapter a lot, thank you so much for the update 💕

Chapter 10: The moment I saw Eric's name aaddcvssbsjskssl
That was such a sweet encounter! It was smart of her to take a pic of his passport (did she do it when talking to the hotel staff? Seeing Eric finally here my brain might have glitched to pic up things lmaoo)
Anyways their time together really felt so natural and soft and calming and Eric being so subtle and careful around her is so precious. Even the way they parted...idk how to say it but it was so real and natural...ie mature but ofc also a bit sad. I like how Eric was understanding of wat was possible and of Haerins decision uwu well well i wonder who she met at the end 👀
Tysm for the update!!! I enjoyed it a lot, will patiently look forward to more 💖

Chapter 9: So much happened omg...haejin and kyungil 💔 and especially when haerin found out 😭 haerin's mom is so... it makes me angry but in the end its just so sad that she feels that way abt her own child. I guess haerin is really better without her, especially when she has so many others who care for her. And when Kaiser and Jaemin come along awwww Kaiser putting his fallen leash back in jaemin's pram asxfhkll that was so adorable!! Im happy to see haerin healing and moving on too... finding new work and learning opportunities... and finding courage to date too..i think maybe because that guy looked like kyungil but he turned out to be trash. I wonder who the person is whose suitcase she stumbled over hehe. Eric? 😏😏😏 thank u so much for the update 💕

Chapter 8: Oh my so much happened in this chapter... Kyungil's "accidental" cheating.. the twins drifting apart, Haerin's possible pregnancy??? And the accident at the end !!!!!!!! Jun was such a sweetheart throughout to Haerin and I also understand how Haerin still couldn’t get back to how it was with Kyungil. Trust and loyalty is like a paper, once crumpled you cant fix the folds, it wont go back to how it was... anyhow... im very worried about them... but I guess this is the turning point in the plot. Really can't wait to read more! As always tysm for the update 💕

Chapter 7: Oh no the whole part about their father passing away really broke my heart :( But what hurt more was how their mother lashed out and took it out on Haerin. Personally, I don't believe in any such superstitions but I know that some people can be very serious about them :( Anyways, they got through the grief well because of Kyungil's support; he really is so genuinely compassionate and precious. The asking-out scene was just so sweet-- Haerin finding the dog tags and then Kyungil's spontaneous confession because curiosity got the cat huhu. Haejin is a protective sister, it really pulled a string after she (seriously) warns Kyungil, because now that their father is gone, Haejin really would feel so much more responsible for Haerin now. And what followed after--just the moments of the couple and the friends progressing and hanging out and having fun--the fake wedding--all of it was so lovely too. The last scene as well hehe ;) I enjoyed the chapter a lot! Thank you so much for the update!! I hope you have a wonderful day too <3
