It’s 4am and a lot of spelling mistakes, but I think it gets the point across
I’d like to think about it as an alternate timeline. He beat up his son because he still hasn’t accepted That he’s a gay man This is the OG timeline where Jihoo died. Overall, the Happier timeline is very open ended. It’s a pretty interesting way to end the story to be honest I think it falls into line with the world building and making an alternate timeline Makes more sense I think still sad though

Loved the story. Interesting plot, good characters, rare to see ”time traveling” done this coherent and the story really lives up the the psychological tag. The ending wad, for me, very underwhelming. Reading the story, there was always a feeling if uneasiness and the ending have no closure (except for the apology I guess). Jihoo still deisppeaed from the MCs life, also with the guy who could’ve killed him in the future for all we know. There was a moment at the end where the MC realized his friend had always been there for him and acknowledged his support, in both timelines. What I don’t under and is how their adult life played out pretty much the same, them living separate lives and Seungtae still beating his son due to internalized homophobia. Am I the only one who thinks the MC was able to feel acceptens towards himself towards the end and that it then want against his character to still beat his son up, especially since he shows big regret and sorrow for doing it. Or maybe he altered the ending in another universe/s and just not this one? He knew his reason for wanting to save Jihoo was selfish and he accepted that saving Jihoo for Jihoo’s sake was good enough?
