reading Almond by Won-Pyung Sohn just because namgi said so

i just checked and this is actually available on GramediaDigital but after long consideration i thought i’d settle with the eng version. oomf told me so, too. i still think the kor and ina cover is really pretty (and didn’t some bookstores offered bts freebies?) but here.

i woke up late so i ditched my morning-poetry reading and read this instead.

Chapter 10 of 75, taking a glimpse at the first chapter and slowly more, on how the boy view the incidents is making me really sad. also when they have to try hard to look ‘normal.’

to look how his mom tried so hard and how it’s even harder for him? it’s making me worried. (also i read so many reviews and people said “gregetan because i really want to force and show him, ini loh, yang namanya emosi, etc). i feel different.

perhaps because we’re reading from his point-of-view.

Chapter 20 of 75,

i paused my read to have a tea and brush my teeth and all of that morning routines i’ve ditched because i’m late. but also, to compose and rebuild myself because birthday-eve tragedy always triggered my memories.

and i love chapter 14.

okay. Chapter 30 of 75.

what the fuck is going on and this is getting interesting. also, do you know how pissed it is when someone try to over-water your plants in the middle of the day even when you said you’ve done it yourself?

well that’s what happened. (just a quick update my plant babies are growing really well thankyou very much) before i wonder how yunjae would’ve react to that.

i’m sorry i’m bad at memorising name but i believe the kid name was yunjae and.... why is it gon for him? why is it gon for yun leesu for him? is this lost in translation

this is not helping

nvm it’s explained in Chapter 34. but okay still, and now what? “his favourite was Gon.” and then what???

if they put their fucking ego aside they would’ve made friends right away. *sigh* teenagers these days. so angry and complicated

i’ve always forgot to say that it was lovely to see Eunji’s and Grandma’s background. the unrotten lady. the way she was expected to be a smart woman and ended up being popular and all. her tragic youth, her dreams, etc. the way she said Demian inspired her.

:DDD is it weird if i say i love their little dynamic?

“and your mom is a vegetable?”

also, notice how i wrote this thread with a past tense like i’m long gone far deep into the book even 30 pages ago sounds like 30 years, it’s true. i’m deep in now
