I loved this from the beginning to right before the time skip. It was interesting, paced well, and had me really attached to every interactions they both had very early on. Seriously, I was squealing at they way that they grew into being friends cause they were both drawn to each other and confused by it at the same time. Seeing them go from classmates (the ml would watch kids get bullied and never stopped them, and the mc just watched from his seat as well), to the ml staying at his house, to them being friends, to them kissing once and growing closer but never confessing at that age. It was super interesting and fun to read, but the ml leaving after his father's death, to go study abroad was so stupid. The mc should've told him how he felt, but I kinda understood why the author did it. What I didn't like was how after they reencountered six years later, they cried, kissed, and got together but were super giddy. It felt like an ok ending somehow, like something was missing? I don't really know I wasn't the biggest fan of the ending, loved their interactions in high school though, that was a 10/10
