I just can't help but cry reading these final chapters. I can't express enough just how much I love this work. They might have started with a toxic relationship and goes down to an overall depressing mode with all those complicated problems specially with Seonwoo, but I knew from the very start that they would be each other's cure. Not only because they are the leads but I believe their character complimented each other perfectly.
Yuri needs someone adult that would actually care for him and prioritize him and Seonwoo needs someone truthful, frank, and loyal. Not a fan of age gap nor student-teacher rsp, but I don't think Seonwoo would feel comforted by someone who isn't his student - he needs someone who knew what he really is as a teacher.
Yuri's assurance that he did well as a teacher because he was once his student and experienced it, and thought of it as one of his precious memories in high school, is I think the most valid answer that Seonwoo needed to let go of his burden, despite already seeing how he is when he's not in the classroom - brokenhearted, depressed, and even got into bad habit of drinking.
When Yuri finally get to clear his head and gave a coherent, decent, and respectful yet truthful words to Seonwoo reminded me of the Yuri I first loved in For Your Love. He is the reason why I read this anyway not the rebellious constipated young adult one lol
I'm really satisfied with how this all turned out, specially Yuri's "Form of Sympathy"
