Seowon, born with fragile lungs, chose to leave the city behind, finding home in the forest alongside his father.

One summer, the tranquility of their secluded life is briefly interrupted when Mr. Johnson, a friend of Seowon’s father, and his son Aiden come for a visit.
As the fathers embark on a hiking vacation, Seowon and Aiden find themselves alone in the quiet forest.

Seowon easily opens his heart to Aiden, who truly cares for him like his father, However, their bond takes an unexpected turn as Aiden’s affections surpass the boundaries of friendship. Despite Seowon’s initial shyness, he finds himself unable to resist.

When he first became aware of his ‘friend’ who was a ‘man’ he didn’t feel any repulsion even though he happened to hug and kiss him.

Eventually, they find themselves crossing a line that shouldn’t have been crossed during that heated summer.

Unexpectedly, a problem arises during their time together, exacerbated by Aiden’s return to the United States, putting a significant 12-hour distance between them. Ironically, this ‘issue’ accelerates the reunion of the two.

5 stars!!! It is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read, I started reading its adaptation to Manwha, but the novel is not far behind, I like that after the first half the author wrote in such a way that I wouldn't know if I was reading a Western romantic novel to a Korean novel, the details she writes, the love relationship between the protagonists, everything reminded me of the typical American college romance novels, loaded with a lot of passion, I thank the translators, seriously, what... more>> a great job, and thank you for letting me read the work. <<less

It is an interesting read.

I found it somehow boring and slow at first but I didn't want to drop it. Especially as I found the overly descriptive writing style too much sometimes.

The two characters aren't experienced yet; their age reflects in their actions, thinking and words. So their relationship isn't perfect and it's quite innocent. I like that. They're so cute.

... more>> They're both possessive too. Though I'm worried their jealousy is kinda extreme, lol.

There's a lot of smut. These two are like rabbits whenever they get started, lol.

The translation is good too 👍

Btw, I kinda ship the granddads 🫣🚶😁 <<less

Ok. So. WOW. I'll say the latter half is MUCH better than the first half it terms of character development but also their relationship. Where the first half was most strong was building tension and setting the stage for their eventual romance. But the first few times they have s*x it's a bit tough to read because of how Aiden treats Seowon (but this aspect gets better later in the novel when they are older. In a way it makes sense because they are both young when they start their... more>> s*xual relationship and are both inexperienced) The Hi-key r*pey scenes and overall just roughness (and not in a good way) is just though to read. But like I said, it gets better and is semi-properly addressed later by the characters. Overall it was a decent read. The translation was a bit difficult to understand at times and I had to fill in some gaps myself while reading, but overall it was readable. I give this 3 stars mainly because of the pacing in the beginning and those s*x scenes I mention before.

I wish we got more cute scenes with Joy and the grandfathers but alas, we can't win then all can we? <<less
