I have to say that the happy ending in the side story was a relief b/c I cried my eyes out with the ending of the original series!! Beautifully drawn and executed story of a boy presumed to have murdered someone on the night of the openings ceremony of the '88 Olympic opener in Seoul. He becomes a fugitive and eventually meets a guy just discharged from the army nomad traveling because being gay is not acceptable in his home. They meet, become close, fall in love, and sadly become fugitives together with a very tragic finale.
