i just finished mtling all of it...im depressed...i hate these kinds of endings, because they give you false hope..and then take it away...and make you cry over a boy you wished to be saved...and the author has the audacity to draw him laughing at the end???? DAMN IT! WAS IT THE CONTRACT EXPIRING??? THEY SAY THEY WANTED TO SPREAD AWARENESS??? EXCUSE ME, ANYONE READING THIS WORK ALREADY KNOWS WHAT ABUSE IS, THEY CLICKED ON YOUR WORK! GIVE US HOPE! NOT DESPAIR! PLEASE! ...its impossible to interpret the end in a different way.... one of the comments explained the ending...Kim Kwon left with his uncle, Hansol isn't talking to him, and his father just got worse...after showing us that he was an unwanted child? After giving a false hope of them happily spending the year together? After drawing him self-blaming himself for the abuse, and falling down far far down... what else am i supposed to think of other than suicide? I shouldn't insert myself into his shoes and I didn't, but many other people may have accidentally slipped in too far...i think this needs a trigger warning for suicide and abuse...
