Chapter 7: unnie, your writing made me cry. this story was so beautifully written and had so many emotions. it was amazing.
i wish i could say more, but i'm not good with words so i'll just leave it at that ♡

Chapter 7: this had to be one of my most favourite stories of all time.
the emotions and words tugged at my heartstrings. it really inspired me to appreciate the
times of my youth and everything that is offered to me. alongside that, using b1a4 as the
main characters is something that to me, makes the entire story much more meaningful.
i'm really at a loss for words right now, and my mind is still in an attempt to rest its roots
from all of the inspiration deprived from this. thank you for writing this amazing piece of
work and congratulations for winning the contest; you deserved it greatly. i could just re
read this all over and over again. i do wonder about sunwoo's death, though. but it does
add to the factor of the mysteriousness and allurement the story itself gives off. i'd like
to thank you over and over again for sharing this with us and your writing skills. ; u ; ♡

Chapter 7: An inspiring story ^.^
Youth is indeed beautiful.
I'm still bothered about Sunwoo's death though. I want to know the reason behind his death and why Chansik blamed himself.

Nevertheless, I like this story :D
Oh, congratulation for winning the contest and thank you for writing this.

Chapter 7: Wow.
This is truly one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. The way you described everything, in such simple but detailed paragraphs really touches you. :')
It has a really bitter-sweet kind of feeling in a sense that we should treasure our youth, but we cannot stop us from growing older, away from it.
Sometimes, I dream about and imagine what my future will be like, but I can never actually picture myself there.

Thank you for the wonderful story author nim, and I may be a bit late in saying this, but congratulations on winning the contest! You really deserve it! :'D

Chapter 7: Oh my god, this story made me cry more than I ever thought it would.
I love how this story is able to tug at people's emotions as well as make them smile. I really wish that we would be able to find out what happened to Sunwoo.
I wish I had a friendship like the boys do in this one. I'm close with my friends, but I just wish that I had a bond similar to the boys in this one (but I do have a similar bond with one of my best friends).

Author-nim! You should definitely make a sequel for this.

Chapter 7: My computer was running out of battery (at 1 am in the morning) so I couldn't read this all in one shot and that made me really really sad. But I've finished it~ and wow. This has touched me and totally changed my outlook on life. I mean, I always knew that my carefree, youthful life would disappear soon enough (which is why I have a rather irrational fear of growing up) but now I'me going to enjoy my life. ENJOY IT TO THE MAX. This might also be why I'm so clingy and possessive of my friends. I've lost some really close ones before (not through death though..) and I'd hate to lose the ones I have now. Aah, I'm getting too personal. Anyway, I really loved your story. (I was hoping to find out what happened to Sunwoo though! I'm going to say car crash. Because it's always car crashes... Not to say your story is like any other! Your story is definitely unique.) Um.. I'm just going to click Post now because I'm babbling and crying and this story was really good and thank you for writing it.

Chapter 7: In a way, though not everything worked put for the boys, I really envy them. Their friendship is just amazing. I love my friends a lot. But I just wish I had that sort of friendship and bonding with my friends. But who knows, maybe I'll only meet people I can have that sort of friendship with when I'm old and covered in white hair.

Chapter 7: Sorry for only getting the chance to read this now xp

OMG I watched 'When Heaven Burns' too. To be honest, I thought this was quite similar to the drama but in a good way. There were things I really hated in the drama but I LOVED every single part of this.

Sorry if I missed it (I read this at 3 am >.<) what happened to Sunwoo??? I'll read this again later in the day.

I didn't cry too but it wasn't because it didn't touch my heart or that is wasn't beautiful. This was certainly one of the most beautiful things I've ever read and I usually tear up for things that are this beautiful. I did want to tear up but for some reason I didn't. Maybe cause I watched the drama but this is probably the first time I smiled from the bottom of my heart. So thank you.

Your author's note was really a killer. I'm going through a similar period of time. I'm in my senior year of high school, choosing university. I also just wished to stay in school forever. Being with my friends...having people tell me what to do... I'm not ready to make decisions for myself yet. I can't see anything in my future path — it's pitch black.

Bottom line, congrats for winning! I'm glad you found the contest through me. And once again...thank you.

Hi! I just finished reading this whole story and I LOVE IT, SO MUCH!! It's not just your storyline or plot that I loved, but also your style of writing and describing their feelings so vividly. It's like I could connect to how the characters were feeling at that moment. Especially at that time when they all gathered together at that rooftop drinking. It was the simple kind of happiness that I had been looking for too. At first, I didn't see how the story was connected to the quote "All you need is 20 seconds of intense courage, and I promise you, something great will happen", but soon I got it when Jinyoung decided to throw all of his negativity and worries away just to make an effort to save and fulfill the wish that they never had a chance to. This is a beautiful story and I love every single bit of it, including that secret behind Sunwoo's death and Suzy's good relationship with Jinyoung! But the best part was still the part where the four of them got together in that restaurant and rooftop. It was so sweet, so adorable... so.... beautiful... :') I can't express how much I love this story. I've been looking around just to find a fanfic that focuses on friendship, and what you've described in this story hit my heart because I had been through these types of suffering too, not exactly the same but somewhere close. That's why I could relate perfectly to this story and the protagonist... Thank you author-nim, for this beautiful story. You definitely deserved the first place for that contest, and I hope that someday this will be featured on AFF too! It deserves to be. <3
