Our Youth — Chapter 70

Well, readers for Our Youth: Side Story 4 (The End) had one major reaction: "WHAT?! It's over?!" 😭 Despite the sadness about the final chapter, there's an overwhelming love for this series, called a "breath of fresh air" and one of the "BEST bl" stories read by many.

The ending itself sparked lots of discussion. While many found it "beautiful" and "heartwarming," the bittersweet realism hit hard. Readers really wished to see Jinhyuk and Heechan get married, openly celebrated, or at least exchange rings, lamenting that they still have to hide their relationship. Some felt it was "unfinished" because of this, while others appreciated that this mirrored the tough reality many same-sex couples face. There were also wishes for specific moments, like seeing Heechan's reaction to the letter Jinhyuk found.

Overall, readers adored the couple and their journey, feeling their love was "too damn sweet" ❤️. While the lack of a conventional "happy ending" (marriage/coming out) left some wanting more side stories (maybe even with smut! 😉), the consensus is that Our Youth will hold a special place in their hearts. They're rooting for the couple's continued happiness, hoping they can eventually marry abroad or see societal change allow them to be open.
