I liked this chapter, the conversation between No-Rae's brother and Seol-A was really nice. I like it that he told her that No-Rae cares a lot for her. Little No-Rae is so cuteeeee. The fact the she copied that way of walking from her brother was sweet -feels like Seol-A-

Anyway, I don't know what is going to happen now. I guess Seol-A will try to find out what is bothering No-Rae while No-Rae is going to think if she should say Seol-A the truth or not. Anything could happen now and I'm excited because it's not going to take long until something 'explodes'.
Let's make a bet, will Seol-A find out about her feelings first or about No-Rae's feelings first? I betting on the last one.

Since Seol-A is so inquisitive, she will be probing No-Rae subtly. I think Seol-A will find out No-Rae's feelings but at that time, she'll also realised she has feelings for her. E.g. There's a robbery, and No-Rae protected Seol-A but by doing that, she got hurt. Seol-A's in tears seeing No-Rae bleeding... And then (fireworks) (fireworks)... _ _ _ _ (fill in the blanks)...

(BTW, that's a typical korean dramas). I think it won't happen till we find out more about Seol-A's friend back in high school that used her and then, No-Rae's past experiences with her ex. By the looks of it, I don't see much action for at least another 10-20 chapters down the track. It's quite predictable for authors to milk on the hype.

halmoni:

sorry for the wait I was a bit busy today!

Tiger:

I hope it was a hot date.

Likely a hot date... WITH HER MOM.

LOL poor halmoni. She sure is popular.... She gets pick on/ bugged/ thanked for every chapter.

Make sure to bring back some omochi. (oops... that's a Japanese dessert). Hmm.. how about some fried chicken? If we assume there will be over 100 chapters due to its popularity, we will be seeing halmoni till she graduate (assuming she has 2 years more to go). If there are 600 chapters like Naruto/ Bleach, oh my goodness! (Halmoni, please eat lots of healthy food & vitamins. Please live a long life)

You would be very surprised. VEERY surprised. Just Goggle the gay marriage debate here in the United States and you will find out PLENTY of people wouldn't bat an eyelash at it.

Then I'm glad I don't live in the US I guess.

If I heard something like that said to a kid, I'd get a bad case of pitch black anger.

I would think the teacher said "Not normal" because it's just a common thing majority is heterosexual. It's a matter of fact that if we were all homos, the world would be wiped out immediately due to the extinction of human race. On the other hand, homosexuals have been acknowledged throughout history (even by God). How should I put this... I used to be prejudice because I thought it was a sin, we would be outcast by our own family, society, we will all be condemned to hell but as I get older, I realised a relationship is not about the gender of the other party, rather it's about how much we love that person. Of course, we should also respect whether the person in question reciprocates our love intentions or not as he/she may not be interested in same gender relationship. So, when XXX told her friend that she likes her (but XXX was rejected), I didn't find sad. I however did find it very disappointing when her friend (that used to be close to her), distanced herself and treated XXX like a disease. Why should you be disgusted when you have been loved?

As for the sinning bit, don't worry, everyone sin everyday. We live by God's grace (^_^) and He loves us (period)...I think it's the family and society that we seek acceptance from. It always hit hard in the heart when heterosexual do not acknowledge homosexuals. Oh my goodness, why are we even putting people in categories to start with? Leave science out and we are ALL just "normal" human beings born to love another human being. We get angry (and sometimes violent) at people for disliking us - perhaps as a form of demand for acceptance. But don't you think that is also being prejudice towards them?

To each and everyone their own tastebuds/ likes/ dislikes. I don't think we should flash out "respect gay people" propaganda... rather, "respect my choice".

Don't you think the author Ssamba somewhat acknowledges the existence of our translator, halmoni? Maybe Halmoni is the catalyst to Seol-A and No-Rae's get together. LOL....
I can't wait for the translation. I am very close to getting my phone out and use Google translate on the pictures.

Thank you very much!!! Even with just reading your translation i feel really happy!!

I would've love to add likes (and see it there, well i can't read them) to FF in the Korean Comico but it is not available in our location :( I have to wait for the google drive update to see the latest chapter.

I downloaded it to my phone but i cannot log into it since the location issue is present. If anyone know how to fix it i would really appreciate your help! ;)

 
Are you saying you can't see the chapter on Comico at all?

You cannot see this page?

I agree, Seol-A is definitely not a virgin. If you like to flirt, fling, or have your ways with men, sex is just another game. You won't think of it as "two-become-one" or making love type of mentality. However, watching porn with another girl (or with anyone) is weird for me. I once watched Sex & the City with a girl (I don't know why we ended up watching this in her house), and like Seol-A, I was blushing during the sex scene. I took quick glances at my friend but she seemed to be enjoying the movie (as a whole), not just the sex scenes. Maybe I just didn't like the movie. I didn't know what to say to her after that. Btw, my friend has long silky hair, voluptuous & quite sexy for an Asian.

I think the author knows how to portray Seol-A very well. I have lots of guy friends and whilst I was studying in a male dominated course (I.e engineering), I don't find talking / getting to know guys hard at all. In fact, guys are more approachable and easier to understand than girls. On the other hand, girls are harder to comprehend! A WHOLE lot harder. Maybe that's why girl-girl relationship is so intriguing. It's like a recipe for uncharted (dangerous) territory.

PS: I am a woman and I still don't understand women. Yes, I have lots of male friends, but I treasure women friendship more (for some reasons). I guess I like playing with fire.

Did ssamba just.

That was so a 50Shades reference lull

Holy crap, maybe that was actually the movie Norae was watching a couple of chapters ago.

No wonder Seol-A didn't like that kind of movie. Me neither. It was just a sadistic movie so if you are into that, you'll like it. Oh no way, don't tell me No-Rae is into that?!

The previous love story of No-rae must have really hurt. Hye-kyung had told that she have a "hot, steamy romance", Now Norae says that she had "an exceptionally strong feeling". I'm curious to know what happened, maybe sooner or later there will be a flashback. Or if her ex-boyfriend will return we understand something ... Anyway Have you noticed that stern look have No are when Ji-hwan had told her that he was sure of being able to fall in love with him? The same stern look she had when Seola leaned behind her back asking to stay a little longer.

Stern look? Nah... With seola, it's more pitying look whereas with ji-hwan, its putting up her inner walls with spikes and knives. Ready to defend it if he tries to come close. Lol

The end of Sara's confession ended on quite an ambiguous manner in the sense that we're not certain whether Mei really did accept Sara's confession. I'm hopeful she didn't but I think it would be quite OOC of her to lie to Yuzu about her & Sara going out.

I agree. We didn't see Mei accepting Sara's confession. Also, I am not sure if YP translated correctly when Yuzu wished to talk to Mei the first time - "I love you... disregarding we are sisters, disregarding we are a family..." I think this was translated wrongly. It feels as if Yuzu wants to tell Mei she loves her romantically. Shouldn't it be Mei thought Yuzu only love her as a sister and hence Mei doesn't want to listen any more.

Anyhow, I couldn't see this going too much further. Looks like the story is coming to an end(?)

Prediction Yuzu got really sad, expressed her true feelings to Mei. Mei got shocked and accepts Yuzu eventually. The End (ok that's lame)

Maaru is the rich smart business girl? I'm also interested in her instead of this "cheating-is-ok" chapter as it's not ok - especially after you have been cheated yourself. If you dislike it, you'll not want to do the same thing to the person you love.

I like to read the forums from time to time, especially if I like something a lot. But I've never had an urge to post a comment. I'm posting for the first time ever because I needed to express my gratitude for this manhwa. Fluttering Feelings means the world to me as a young Korean-American gay woman. Although they live in Korea and have Korean values instead of American ones, I see myself in these characters. I've never read anything that hits as close to home as this particular work of fiction. I can relate to their confused emotions and Korean humor. This story feels kind of different from the usual western and Japanese narratives that I've seen so much of (with the exception of Their Story I suppose). I'm not 100% fluent in Korean, so I rely on the English translations when I don't understand a certain word or phrase in the raws. I would be pretty distraught if I couldn't understand everything that's going on. I wish I could thank the author Samba personally or send them a message in Korean, but I don't think I'd be able to do that. In the mean time, I want to thank halmoni (할머니 :D) for being an amazing contributor and responder, the dynasty-scans uploaders for introducing me to this manhwa, and anyone else who is reading this and has worked on FF. I wish I could convey my feelings more fully, but I guess this will have to do! I've been looking forward to every update and I can't wait for the future ones as well.

Wow, so awesome to read comments like these!!
This also made me curious: who relates to which characters of this manga? Do we have the majority of Seol-a's or, perhaps, No-rae's? Or perhaps a nice balance? ^_^

There is this girl.
She is a Seol-a (physically).
Clingy like this http://dynasty-scans.com/images/3198.
Likes to flirt, always getting jealous when I'm with other girls or talking about other girls. But ~
Straight. I mean...
That's how she defines herself.

Hmmm... I've got a friend who's like that (she had a boyfriend whilst at uni) but flirts with girls a lot too. She's turned gay many years later. The last one she had was a Korean girl (she's hot!), but they didn't last forever. She's now single and no longer searching (bad experience obviously). I think liking someone of either gender is a choice due to the circumstance(s) at that time. Well, I hope the author doesn't make a bad ending for FF...

I am a happy camper. Really refreshing to see consistent new updates every week. I have to comment, a nice story with frequent updates (e.g. weekly) but graphically simple is better than beautiful artwork but poor updates (i.e. Citrus = 2 months once). Fluttering Feelings have definitely overtaken my #1 spot for shoujo-ai stories (used to be Citrus). I'm curious if we will ever know of No-Rae's ex-relationship story. Maybe it's not important but since Hee-Jin mentioned something about No-Rae's afraid of getting hurt by people, I am sure Seol-A would be curious too.

One thing I like about Korean manwha (manga) is that the authors are quick (very!) in updating their chapters. Mostly once a week. E.g. Girls of the Wild's, Fluttering Feelings, Orange Marmalade, etc, unless they are on a health break. Japanese manga takes forever (e.g. Citrus 2 months, Princess Mirror 1 mth). And what happened to Their Story (Chinese manga)? It hasn't been updated for ages! (x_X) Gosh, I need a life!

I watched the raw version of chapter 19(cuz I can't really wait for the translation to come up, I'm impatient) and all I can say is too much teasing, they clearly like each other

That's funny, the author IS teasing us, but it comes from Seola's having obvious feelings (at the same time questioning it...? GARL. IT'S LOVE.) and Norae being oblivious to the obvious.

Aww... have you got a link to the raw version?
