“don’t you think things will be better once we become adults?”
the lights gradually went from blue to yellow, then to blue again..i found it magnificent, no, this was beautifully devastating.
holding hands in public is really a dangerous thing to do..? can you believe it?
watching this felt like listening to Try Again by Jaehyun, d.ear, so i want to share some of the lyrics that heavily reminded me of this stunning short film
*So many shouts
**(수많은 외침도)
**Without being able to reach each other’s hearts
**(서로의 맘엔 닿지 못한 채)
**Even though it went like that
**(그렇게 흘러가기도 했지만)
**So whenever you ask me again
**How I feel
****Please remember
****My answer is you
**Even if I have to go back a long way
**(먼 길을 다시 돌아간다 해도)
**'Cause I'll still feel the same way
**(난 여전히 같은 맘일 테니까)
**We'll be alright
*I want to try again.

Doomed yaoi but make it more raw, real and fireworks. Such a very beautiful representation of what is actually happening in reality compare to movies with happy romances, soft moments and somewhat somehow the world being on their side always. A deep and emotional punch to the basic highschool romanticism — they truly deserve better and i’ll keep saying this. Love has no gender and stop violence against different people with different beliefs, values and views.

Short and so bittersweet.
I think this is a film that can accurately detail the throes of juvenile gay life and how difficult it can be just to simply survive. We see how despite being bullied they can still find comfort in each other even though it pains them to see each other hurt with no power to do anything. I have seen theories about the ending and that maybe he just ran away, but I just don't think that is possible as like Peter Pan he will forever be young with no ability to grow up. The final moments are a gut punch to the heart that I often come back to and think about. What a short but such powerful piece of cinema.
