There are a lot of love stories out there, some known to us, a lot are yet to be discovered.
I, myself, am not a big fan of romance and the complete cliche of love at first sight and every little quirky thing in between.
But there WILL ALWAYS BE THAT ONE EXCEPTION THAT THE UNIVERSE WILL SEND IN ALL IT'S UNDENIABLY TWISTED HUMOR.
I came across the tidbits of this masterpiece through Tiktok and I don't really know why this is found in my algorithm. But again, maybe it was some external supernatural prankster out there that wanted me to get over the initial cringe of reading anything that spells the word ROMANCE in bold and capital letters.
It's gripping my phone at around 3 AM and telling myself that I just have one chapter because my poor little unaccustomed to romance heart couldn't take the suspense and tension each chapter opens up to. I had endured an all nighter reading and finishing everything and screaming into my defenseless and unsuspecting pillow the overwhelming feeling of watching the pining miscommunicating complicated borderline idiotic main characters.
You all have to read and witness how smart and clever and perfect, emotional denial and workaholic tendencies aside, Shin Soohyuk is. You all have to bear the idiocy and adorable clumsiness, undying loyalty, ever-selfless love and wit Wolfgang Goldenleonard has to offer. AND DON"T GET ME STARTED WITH THE BEST WINGMAN/SHIP FANCLUB PRESIDENT AND COLLECTOR OF EVERYTHING I MAM NOT SUPPOSED TO MENTION TO KEEP THIS POST FAMILY FRIENDLY, OUR DUKE SYS!!!!!! HANDS DOWN BEST CHARACTER EVER.
I am a few years late to the romance but the experience of reading the entire masterpiece is something I will cherish forever.
