THE SIDE STORIES HEALED ME!!!!!! Okay so like I had a hard time navigating through the early chapters as I was puzzled and disturbed with the plot. There wasn't that much romance in this story but the action helped me read through it (I got really invested) I like how their story progressed through the chapters and I feel like the plotline would be different if soohyun and eunsung just decided to interact during highschool (I WOULD LITERALLY LOVE TO SEE ALL THE FLUFF) and yes the plot was overall nice considering that it wasn't much of a romance story; I felt disturbed when some sexual parts were forced. Some of the main points of this story that I really liked were the symbolisms of eunsung and soohyun playing chess — metaphors are my favorite. Another thing is that both of them finally fell in love with each other after going through that topsy-turvy road (a very arduous one indeed), and THEM RELIVING THEIR HIGHSCHOOL YEARS >>>>>> yes I can agree that they were robbed of their highschool years and it was so heartwarming how all the fluff made its way to the side stories️️️ I still can't get over the fact that they NEVER said I love you to each other, although it's obvious that they love and can't get enough with each other They started the story with "A familiar room, but a figure who doesn't belong there..." to "A familiar room, but a figure who finally belongs there..." JUST HOW FAR THEY'VE COMEE!!! I LOVE EUNSUNG AND SOOHYUN SO SO SO MUCHHHHH
Don't Pick Up the Soap
