Now what I say may be copium but after sitting down and drinking my sorrows away after what the ending did to me, I think we have hope guys.
This is a side story but it's exceeded up to 30 chapters. You can't call this a side story anymore. Maybe the author was restricted to ended this series seeing how fast paced the last few chapters have been so they can start serializing a main series for this.
The side story has been very popular and received a lot of good reception by both Korean and Western fan so I don't think they'd leave such an open ending like this.
Maybe the start of the main series will be a time skip when Dohyeok comes back to Korea. Dohyeok did say he'd return and the fact that Siwoo walked off on some random dude with no face while the other side characters (Siwoo's coworkers) have one is clear cut that the author could have clearly drawn a face on the nameless NPC to make Siwoo ending with someone permanent to close off the ending.
The author needs to complete this story main series. It can't just be finished in a side story. With the time skip there's going to be a lot to explore as well if it became it's own series.
The couple is very popular so from a marketing perspective, they wouldn't throw money down the drain but profit off it. Maybe next week or whenever we get the author notes we'll get an announcement?
-Copium over.
