I read the novel but there was one thing I’m confused about. If MC appeared 8 years later, and he would have been 28, then is he biologically and mentally 20? If so, then ML would be biologically 4 years older than him, even though he is technically 4 years younger. So confusing, lol. Lmk if I’m right.

I think Jiho is being a normal person. We are able to understand inwoo because we see his POV. but Jiho isn’t able to read Inwoo’s mind. If I were in Jiho’s shoes, I also would have tried to fix the situation. There is a lot of anxiety being the partner of a depressed person. I have been the depressed person as well as the partner. It is not easy to be the partner of a depressed person. It is also not easy to respond perfectly. We are human and make mistakes.

I seriously like this story. I myself am in an age gap relationship, so it feels good to read about this. It’s weird because if MC is 24 or 27, ML would only be around 34 or 37. He really isn’t that old. I would get him being old if he was like 45 but maybe this is just my perspective being in an age gap relationship. (Note my best friend’s father (age 50s) married her step mom (age 20s) with an almost 30 year age gap. That is creepy to me)
Honestly the ending made sense. And even though the story filled me with mostly anxiety, I think it was well made. This is exactly how not to do an age gap relationship.
