This was a very interesting story. I will split up my review as usual: seme, uke, and relationship. So our main character of this story is the seme. He lost his girlfriend in an accident, and is grieving her greatly. He meets her “best friend” and uses him as a replacement for her. It’s very cute to see this character grow to love the “replacement”. There is one moment when we can see he truly has forgotten about his girlfriend, and started seeing the best friend. It was such a beautiful moment, to see his eyes open and fall in love again. The uke is the best friend of the the women that died, and uses the seme as a way to feel how his best friend felt when he held her. This is a very complex character. We first see him in love, then it as an obsession, and then we find out that Soha (the women) actually manipulated him. It’s great to see him finally move on at the end, and let go of her. The relationship was very toxic in the beginning. Both were using each other as a way to cope with the grief of losing the woman they loved, and it was just not healthy that they were holding on to the past. There were both moments that they had, when they opened their eyes and saw each other for the first time. Not for Soha or the man that Soha loved, but for themselves. They truly fell in love at the end, and it was amazing. Great short story, highly recommended.
