Lex's manga / #Multiple stories(35)

Maki soon after discovers that his once thought-to-be straight friend now has sex with the type of men to hold a bad reputations around the area all as a means of self-harm. ---------- I enjoyed the first story, it was a short story, but it still managed to be quite the emotional roller-coaster. I liked how the re-encounter & getting together was handled, felt pretty natural. Also, the Artstyle was really pretty. Didn't care about the second story though. Neither did I like it.

Five years after high school graduation, Chiwoo and Kyujin are all grown up and still going steady. In fact, their bond is deeper than ever, both emotionally… and physically! But when Jihyun comes back on the scene, could there be trouble brewing in paradise? ----------- Kyujin and Chiwoo's happy ever after hehe~ loved it. They're adorable together! But Gosh... Jihyun's character breaks my heart even in this side-story... I just want him to find real happiness in the future and get over Chiwoo. His mistakes will never be forgotten nor can they be forgiven. But do I hope for him that Jihyun keeps on improving himself and eventually finds happiness. He hurt Chiwoo in ways he'll never fully understand, but I do hope he finds help and peace to some degree. He's just really pitiful. Part of me was kind of glad to see him miserable too though. Because I personally just can't excuse his actions no matter how much I understand the trauma and psychology behind them. Some things just can't be forgiven.
