@ffins07

P.S. I like how @ieeheh's and @xyth's avatars go together. ^ ^

I'm on mobile so i can't see ieeheh's avatar :(((

Yee haw
I'm awake and ready!!

Just in time! I thought you're not sleeping at all lol

Went to the last page of this forum for the comico link and saw many OMGs, all other words in ALL CAPS and !!!!!!!!!!!s. Then my hand started to shake and went to the site.

You can add me to that pile of fangirls who died today.

Hmmm, so ina is saying that if seol-a doesn't want to suffer because of her own feelings she has to ascertain what her relationship is with no-rae, is that so? e.g. confession

Or is it as MacySan said that she's discouraging them?
Someone please clear this up lol

I don't think Ina would hinder them. She's in a happy relationship and a stable business. Most villians have back stories or reasons behind their "evilness" and I cannnot think of any from Ina, unless she's just pure evil. I don't get that vibe from her so I am more inclined to think that she'll somehow push our two MCs closer.

Thanks halmoni!!!

What Enah said (what Seol-a remembered. Ty google translate):
I like that style is cautious The more I give a lot of damage to the heart .
Furthermore, the more equivocal relationship .

I am not 100% sure I copied the characters correctly:
저렇게 조심스러운 스타일은 내가 마음을 많이 줄수록 손해라는 거.
더군다나 확실치 않은 관계에서는 더욱.

Thanks for the translation halmoni!!!

Btw, I an curious, once again, about the top 3 comments in the comico site for this chapter. So many votes!

This one made me roll over my bed back and forth again! Keep 'em coming! This is really worth the wait!

@captree and takachi - Thanks! :p i just slept before and greet the new chapter after i woke up.

By any chance, did that invitation came from Seol-a's friend that betrayed her? I cannot read it :/

Omg. So this is what it feels like to wait for the release then "read" it and then wait for the translation... I should've resisted!!!

^^and notice that No-rae wears a different shirt and jacket from the time she apologized to Seol-a when they got back and those that she's wearing when she accidentally sat on her. I actually double checked that coz i got confused too.

Maybe Seol-a actually went behind No-rae to have her sit on her lap :p

"Because for now, we're still friends"
- awww No-rae expects them to become something more (well that will happen eventually) in the future....God I really am in love with this manhwa!!

Thank you very much!! Ssamba, halmoni, d.d.d. and flutteringfeelingsmanhwa!!!

Am I the only one wondering where No-rae's dad is, though?

You are not alone.

Ah yeah, no that's on me. I was just skimming your post more or less cause I'm pretty tired. Whoops. :)

No worries! ;)

No-rae has one older sister who's studying abroad (the potty mouth). I highly doubt she's gay as well, but Ssamba hasn't said anything about her relationships or sexuality. Her name is "Geu-rim", which means "drawing" in Korean, and she's 4 years older than No-rae.

Thanks for the info halmoni! Maybe she isn't.. but i think she'll be more accepting or will easily accept the situation regarding No-rae.

It's sister-in-law, I'm pretty sure she's together with the brother.
I might just be wrong though. Don't think I am but I might.

No i was pertaining to No-rae's sister. Please refer to the chapter extra (sorry i said special chapter earlier but it was not ncluded after a certain chapter) ..it's on ch 19 i think.

I ran into a facebook post that FF 33 is out. It's like saying "Good Morning!!" with a very nice sunrise and breakfast in bed (which is all my imagination). This made my day, as always.

halmoni has a face now!! (Thanks for the translation! I went to you pastebin page after reading the chapter, which i didn't get much of..so thanks a lot!)

Took a lot of time catching up 5 pages worth of posts but totally worth it. I think that No-rae's siblings will both have significant roles on her relationship with Seol-a (why else would the Kim family have a special chapter introducing all of them.. Oh, their names). By this meaning her brother - clarifying something about their relationship, dropping clues but will leave it for them to realize it themselves, etc. He might also guide them and warn them about the harsh things they might face if ever they take things further.
Sister - if i remember it correctly she's studying abroad so she might be more liberated, and will give the final push to No-rae to go grab that girl and kiss her already. Or the sister might even be in a relationship with another woman so No-rae can say "oh, it's ok". Just speculating here. I could be totally wrong.

Omg. Random Reader that sure seems familiar :p
With all the manga (manhwa, manhua, etc) that we have plots are all being recycled, so it will just depend on the representation of the author.

I pray that ssamba will always be healthy and safe, and also all the people who helps us to read and enjoy FF.

halmoni and RR
So we just have to carry on on what we are doing. That eases my mind. And i really believe that FF will not take the same path as Citrus.

anonymous
I was trying so hard to minimize the sound of my laugh in the office as i read your masterpiece.

Citrus was long been kicked out of my favorites. I still follow it for the sake of finishing it and it's not something i look forward to. FF on the other hand is like the complete opposite. It's like a vitamin or booster that jumpstart my weekdays. Like a reason for living for another week!

Is there any way we can help the author? (Other than liking FF on comico and reading the release every week, spreading the word). I am not that familiar on how web released series work..i just don't want this to be discontinued like other mangas.

@trafi

I have friend who aren't like that and I don't think I am the weird one and that I'm being naive... am I ?

Well it depends on the culture and environment you grew up. Or maybe you just don't find those women attractive.

It has nothing to do with that, even with women that I find attractive, I'm not like that. Saying that men cheat when they see an attractive women is just accepting it as a reality. It's saying that it normal, it's how they are, nothing can be done about it. But it's not.

There are no such an instinct that make us uncontrollable, it is a choice to cheat, to be jerk. The same goes for women.

Your parents raised you well then! lol
Unfortunately there are men and women who doesn't think and act like you. Some find it acceptable, again depending on the environment and culture they grew up, or just have a weak resolve to resist such temptations. Especially when alcohol and drugs are involved as they have no full control over your actions and desires.

Edit:
Oh! Kudos to Seol-a who made a wise decision to call No-rae to be with her (rescue her really) even if she's that drunk!

We are straying away (again) from the story :D

@Evilnemesis

All in all I don't think she's a virgin but it's not really important for the story.

Again the fun at the beach at dawn that Seol-a cannot tell No-rae.. Maybe that proves it. Not so sure.

About Seol-a being touchy like it's nothing, I read somewhere, which I cannot remember where, that Koreans (girls mostly, I think) that are touchy with each other don't always mean it sexually. Remember that homosexuality is not very much accepted there. Correct me if I am wrong.

But No-rae seems to be diffrent.. well not with Kkyeong and the childhood friend of hers. I could only remember No-rae being agitated when Seol-a do it to her. hmmmm there's really something going on there :P

@trafi

Well it depends on the culture and environment you grew up. Or maybe you just don't find those women attractive.

And yes, knowing that a woman will spread her legs with just anyone, especially those who are in a relationship, is a turn off for some.

Hah! Pay attention to what I wrote, I did not say that men cheat more often than women, merely that men are cheating more often when the relationship is stable a dandy because they can't resist a fine booty. Women cheat differently than men. The ratio is actually much closer to 50/50 than one might think but the situations in which both sexes cheat differs.

It boils down to how one perceives intimacy to be. Why are women less interested in one night stand, why do they hire less sex worker than men? There's many factors but a big one is that women much prefer a strong emotional bond with whom they sleep with. Men cheat and hire for the physical ( we are built more like that) and so they try to fill the void with a cheap form of intimacy, in the end it fleeting and theynshould know better. Women even when they cheat it is usually an affair and not "yo wanna fuck bby?"

Ooops! Sorry, I did misinterpret that part. But it's clear now. Now I am wondering if that statement also applies to gay sexes. Hmmm..

You've said it yourself "It's a guy's instinct". Your first paragraph and second contradict eachother. How can a group who's more likely to cheat not cheat more? But I get what you were trying to say.

Shoot! They do contradict. Sorry was frequently Alt-tabbing here (at work lol) so my thoughts are not that collected. But you get what i mean so I guess I don't need to explain further :P Also, your explanation above mostly clarifies it all.

Yes I'm an invader around these parts descecrating the purity of all that is yuri!

Well as long as you support the series everyone is welcome here :D

@Nezchan

Oh lordy, "a guy's instinct". If there's one phrase that perfectly sums up the EvoPsych bullshit justifications for what is societally acceptable...

Honestly, guys don't cheat because of biology or w/e. Guys cheat because society has traditionally condoned, if not encouraged such behaviour much more by men than women. The old "guys are playas, girls are sluts" thing, with a side order of "a man has needs!" while denying that women have any needs at all. But these days you gotta lay a thin layer of semi-scientific justification over it, make it sound legit.

I very much agree. Women were oppressed in the past (it may be untrue to some countries but from what I know, majority are) and they still are. Though it is much more evident that it mellowed down through the years. As such, I just put it as publicized. Roles imposed by the society also contributes with this such as women are only to stay at home and be a doting wife therefore they have less opportunity to cheat than the guys who are more exposed to the outside world. But now, that's not always the case. Change is constant.. errr whatever.

@Evilnemesis

Combination of simple factors.

• He's a guy, men cheat way more often when nothing is terribly wrong in the relationship. It's a generalization but is true for the most part. Most women that cheat on their partner is because of over time neglect in the romantic department. How often will you see a guy get the "What the fuck were you thinking" talk?

• He's a moron

• Subconsciously or conciously he felt the "distance" she puts between herself and others including her boyfriends and acted upon it.

Mostly he's a moron.

I mostly agree with the He's a moron part. But I don't generalize that men more often cheat that women. Maybe guys cheating are more publicized than women cheating. I've seen some instances where the women were the ones who temps men to cheat (consciously or unconsciously). What would a guy do if a temptation appeared with that instinct of theirs and the girl gave the green light? -- Grab the opportunity, thus leading to them cheating. It's a guy's instinct to stare if the woman is attractive. It's not like they are cheating if they do that unless there's a physical contact between them. I am not defending the guys that cheat, I am just giving them the benefit of the doubt. But still, you are correct, some guys are really morons.

That distance I think is the one that I pointed out in my previous post as she's not really that into those people.

PS: are you a guy? If so, you know more than me then :P

@trafi

You've not seen the women I've seen x)

LOL you sure you've just seen them? :P

Hmmm.. just thinking over some stuff earlier regarding Seol-a being so oblivious around guys.

I think her being the princess in their family (is she the youngest? That can add to that too [lol evil bitch]), surrounded by her 3 brothers made her so comfortable around guys. Even with Ji-Hwan, she doesn't seem to see him as a man and in turn just hangs out with him like a normal friend or a brother. She may not be aware that she's indeed treating them like a normal friend. (But her scene in the beach, the one that got her thinking about her experiences at the beach at dawn, with No-rae can prove this otherwise..oh well)

Now, it was mentioned before that she's never been that in love with all the other guys that she went out with. It got me thinking, why would that random guy (yes the ex) that strangled Seol-a cheat on her? She's portrayed like the most priced girl that a guy can have so why did he cheated? I think this is because Seol-a just treats them as normal friends (or a brother maybe?).. so there are always some things that are missing. Yes, the guy may want to get only in her pants just to brag to his mates -- to have that "Champion" status. But why cheat on her? (I think Seol-a won't even breakup with if he hadn't cheated.) Well if I am on that guy's position, assuming that they really loved/liked each other, I won't pick a peon over a Goddess.

Also, she's mostly always around guys and have very few girl friends. And most likely, these guys that are flocking around her always treats her nicely (with bad motive or none) so she doesn't suspect anything. Remember that she allowed that psycho ex into her apartment without the thought of him hurting her.

So in conclusion, she's so used to being around guys that she cannot see what No-rae is trying pointing out.

Seol-a = one of the boys ;)

Note:
I might be very wrong with some of the details. These are only what I can recall. Please do correct me if I missed something.

@ Moonfrost and Random Reader
We can only speculate now. I am excited on how Ssamba will portray the story thus far

@takachi

just get this installed
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-translate/aapbdbdomjkkjkaonfhkkikfgjllcleb
not that the google translation for the comments really helps to understand them lol

I clicked the link but yes you got a point there! Thank God for halmoni I didn't get through that scratching my head phase wondering what the comments really mean.

@halmoni

I hate how these Korean netizens don't punctuate their comments :/

lol we all have those everywhere. Thanks a lot!!! I tried to learn Korean but stopped. I admit I got lazy :P
I trust your translation more waaaay than that of Google Translate so I very much appreciate your help ;)

I thought the "Why did you let me hear those words/Why did you make me hear things like that" line was more like No-rae being "Why were you so reckless, to the point where I keep hearing these terrible rumors about you?". No-rae was being an asshat, but the whole scene where she's struggling to tell Seol-a how she's constantly worried about her because of all those rumors, really broke my heart. She wants to tell her, but at the same time she can't, since she doesn't want to hurt Seol-a.

Hmmm.. I am quite confused there. In what way will No-rae hurt Seol-a in this part: "Why were you so reckless, to the point where I keep hearing these terrible rumors about you?"
By being frank? By telling her what she did is bad (for her image or something?). Sorry, I may be being a little dumb here or I just missed something.

Poor Seol-a, No-rae didn't know that Seol-a got drunk because of how No-rae has been treating her. These two need to talk to each other ASAP.
