I really didn't expect that the story would end up with these two NOT dating??? I was absolutely bamboozled, I sat there flabbergasted because it's been a looong time since I've seen a pairing mentioned in the summary and kinda hinted that they'll be together, only for it to genuinely not end up that way.

See, a big portion of the drama between these two is the fact that TT feels that no one could genuinely hold down his best friend YK while simultaneous feeling possessive of YK himself, getting upset when he sees YK playfully flirt with their team leader. On the other hand, YK thinks that he's undeserving of love, but he genuinely loves TT and wants him to be with someone better than himself. Because of his low self esteem, he continuously pushes TT into pursuing Shima-san after he notices TT's growing attraction to him. Like I said, if you read the summary to the sequel you'll know what happens and it was a shock, but after letting it sit; I think I actually appreciate how realistic this ending is. After all, if you keep pushing people to others, then obviously they would end up with another.

The story itself isn't bad either, both YK and TT actually act like adults and have depth to them. You see how they both care for the other pretty deeply but refuse to dance beyond the boundary of "casual" and into "serious" in their relationship, and they both accept the consequences of their actions like adults when they happen. I quite like how the story shows how just because two people love each other, doesn't mean they'll end up together.
