Kimi no yoru ni fureru
One Small Step
wow.. i mean just wow. this story is beautiful. the book made me feel warm, made me cry, made me chuckle; i haven't liked a book this much in so long. it reminds me of "glen" for some reason. i was sobbing in my bed reading this. the author did so well in portraying survivors guilt and they made it feel realistic how just because everyone is trying to help you get better, you don't get better overnight. I really feel for Youngwoo alot. I can't imagine what it would feel like to lose a sibling and i probably won't for a very long time. Everything about this story felt so realistic rather than the out of touch modern stories. I sobbed reading the conversation with his brother for the last time. It made my stomach sink in and as i'm writing this, i'm tearing up. The signs Youngwoo barely took note of before his brother's death was so well done. They were so small and barely visible. While at the start i found myself thinking the main character was a bit meh for trying to help him and play hero, i came around to like the main character a lot. i appreciate there are people like him in this world. I love him for what he did and how he reassured Youngwoo and was very patient. I love his little stutter. he's SO CUTE AH ><. its so cute the way Youngwoo blushes at the main character. at some point i stopped caring about the romance tags for this story. this story was so well done that i could care less about it. my heart hurts for Youngwoo and anyone else out there who experienced something similar. Youngwoo's so strong, so very strong. this book will always have a special place in my heart.
