Like some I went away and stopped reading for quite awhile. But saw that the ending had been done and came to see what has happened since I've left. The story itself is well written in my opinion, how the relationship is seen and how it affected the characters personally to where it shapes their personalities. The authors note at the end explains that taku is the only stable person and inserts himself into the mess unknowingly. His view/words change throughout the story but he still knew in the end he couldn't change the outcome and just had to accept it. The quote on quote "step brothers" were bashed by family in their lives for their love. The way the family is portrayed was great! The struggles, the angst, and the acceptance! In the end if taku stayed in the relationship with our mc they would have broken up either way in my opinion. Even our mc knew this himself that's what he's been telling taku these last chapters of their relationship. I know taku will grow and blossom! :) on the other hand the brothers need each other. They are dependent on one another even if they themselves do not know. The I Love you scene always happens when that person is almost gone and you feel as though time is running out, and suddenly all these feelings surface that you kept putting behind/down. They were gonna leave one another but it suddenly burst open and came flowing out. Their relationship wasn't healthy and they realized that along the way and changed somewhat from what we can tell. I'm ngl I wept tears at the ending scenes T^T such a good read. (P.S a lot of people dropped in the middle or towards the beginning but never gave it a chance and read through it all then forming their opinions, I remember when it came out and how obsessed I was because of the authors fool story which is also GREAT BTW♡! But the chapters gave me angst and so did characters but sometimes those characters to grow up and change sometimes slowly, sometimes fast you never know, only the author decides. I think coming back to a story when its completed is a relieving thing to do! I see how it ends, if I agree or disagree, and if the story itself was good.) Waiting for a chapter to reveal what happens next is borderline hell!!! Lmao I'm done goodnight xoxo - mxio
