I re-read this for the fourth time (I read this once a year) and oh my gosh does this one still HURTS. I don't typically get sad over "sad" stories (ngl I usually get angry on the behalf of the characters more than sad) but for some reason this one has always been a tear jerker for me. I partially believe it's because I really enjoyed the chemistry and the relationship between the two main characters. They had their issues, but they were never toxic about it. They were more relatable and realistic. So I got attached to these guys and for those who read the story, yk what happens . It was devastating and bittersweet but I genuinely cannot stop re-reading this story. Their dynamic is literally everything and I've been searching for a mlm or wlw work (I've found some straight works that do it but ngl shojo is home to many couples like this so that's unsurprising to me) that portrays a realistic, healthy, and heartwarming relationship like our main characters here but nobody has gotten close so I force myself to re-read at least once a year and cry. I'm so glad the author did a side story for this !!
