Someone in /u/ suggested last week that if No-rae realized the feelings first between the two, she might get scared and deny her own feelings since she might think Seol-a deserves some better guy. Blah blah blah... Gosh, its already happening exactly like that this week. Its heartbreaking to see No-rae is avoiding Seol-a. I hope Seol-a will step up her game and corner No-rae next week so that No-rae will somehow reveal her own feelings, and then Seol-a at the same time will realize that its been "love" all along for her.
*gosh i'm so sad i'm babbling

It could be that the next chapter in the story is a temporal ellipses. And in chapter 30 finally Seola asking for explanations norae is finally uncovered.
I really like norae jealous. And her response to Seola at the cafeteria is pretty tough, she is angry and bitchy, not all smiles and silences. Do not know about you, but I like ...

Oh man, feels like a storm is brewing... It's good that the author prolongs what everyone wants though. Because by then, it's going to feel so good when it happens.

Thanks for the translation as always!

That underclassman is pissing me off, jesus. Feel's like a leech.

It looks like No-rae is kind of unhappy or jealous (again) when Seol-a showed up with the dude, and poor Seol-A is getting frustrated trying to figure out No-rae's behaviour. Goodness, I'm really looking forward to next week's special chapter xD

Gosh, thanks Halmoni!!

And it looks like I was wrong about No-Rae (again). I think the reason she's been avoiding Seol-A was because she still has residual anger/jealousy from the last dinner and doesn't know how (or even want to) to deal with it. The time she calls out Seol-A to eat, she suddenly starts chatting with a guy instead. Then, the next time she sees Seol-A (conveniently when they're eating again), once again, she has another guy with her.

All of that beings said, my huge question is this:

Last chapter (chapter 27), No-Rae was acting out of character since the very beginning of her dinner meeting with Seol-A. My question is why. There was no indication from Samba that No-Rae had realized anything at that point. Back on the class trip, she had fallen asleep on Seol-A and yet now, she's stuttering when Seol-A loops her arm through her own. What exactly was it about the dude's confession that started this? Why did she suddenly call Seol-A to meet up (no, legit question...I'm pretty sure it wasn't just because they were both in the same town; she must have had a deeper meaning) and then subsequently proceed to ignore her? I can understand the ignoring bit if she was afraid, but the more I'm reading this, the more it seems like No-Rae is angry, not afraid. I mean, the stuff that she's saying is pretty harsh (even oblivious!dude mentioned it).

Nailed it!

No-Rae's friend is not lying in saying that her inner wall is hard to crack. However, that does not correlate to her own feelings. If anything, No-Rae might retreat even further into herself since she just realized she might be romantically inclined towards Seol-A. And, as someone unaccustomed to South Korea's views on homosexuality, we do not know how she'll react based on her past romantic history and the fact Seol-A is a woman. So, just because she realized her feelings does not mean she'll follow up on them. If anything, I think she might shut them in and make it much harder for Seol-A to approach that inner wall just like how she closed the door on Ji-hwan.

But to think she'd give Seol-A the cold shoulder like that at lunch though. Ouch.

Man! I was thinking the same thing!
Calls to meet up ---- Then I just go to the washroom and then you have a guy already? F you dude! Like, I wanted to spend the rest of the day with you and then you have another company anyway...

That was what I was thinking, and then in this chapter No-Rae said, in a small text, "So you came with Kyung-woo too." Seems like jealousy and anger. I think that's a good thing though.

She answers to roughly Seola. And do not see it as something negative because she is showing that she is angry. And then shoots her a smile as she tells "Enjoy your meals".

Instead what you think of what reminds norae the principle of the chapter. Flashbacks seem insignificant but affect all Seola when she was attacked. Why those?

Ah, and I just realized,
instead of using the Console in the Developer Tools (which is slightly awkward to do repeatedly),
you could in fact create a bookmarklet for this.

All you have to do is create a new bookmark on your browser's bookmark toolbar, and put this as the URL of the bookmark:

javascript:$('.spoilers').removeClass('spoilers').css('background','lightgray');

Or if you don't even want light gray highlighting, put this as the URL of the bookmark:

javascript:$('.spoilers').removeClass('spoilers');

Now, you essentially have a 'button' on the bookmark toolbar
such that when you click on it, it will unhide the spoilers on the current page.

 
(Edit: Fixed.)

Oh gosh, this is way better. Thank you again! (I simply like to go back and read the conversations sometimes, so this makes it ridiculously more convenient :) )

Agreed! Very cool!
I found on my version of Firefox it doesn't work unless it's inside a named function.

javascript:function show(){$('.spoilers').removeClass('spoilers');} show();

Likely, something in No-rae changed with the whole deal with Ji-hwan. If you remember, during her talk with Ji-hwan, she said...
Ji-hwan: ...Are you waiting for love at first sight?
No-rae: Rather than that...
No-rae: .....
No-rae: I don't know..To be honest, even I don't know what I want exactly.

Through that event with Ji-hwan, she probably got one step closer, though subconsciously, to realizing her feelings and "what she wants".

Maybe that's why she wanted to see Seol-a. Or maybe it's nothing special that she would suggest that they hang out. They've already hung out many, many times in the past. Except that time, her behavior around her is now a bit different because of the evolution of her feelings.

Yeah, it was as if some people were expecting that the beginning of chapter 28 would be the typical cliched scene of "I... really love you, Seol-a-chan!" "I really love you too, No-rae-chan!!" then crying, then hug, then kiss.

Well... this is not what FF is about. I mean, I cannot speak for the author, but as far as I can tell so far, she is going for a fairly realistic (but no less riveting) depiction of the development of their relationship.

If anything, I find No-rae's reaction to such a realization quite realistic. Firstly, No-rae has been "straight" up until now in her life. Well, you know how it is in today's society: you're "straight by default". To suddenly realize you have feelings for a person of the same gender is not exactly a minor realization. Probably even more so in Asian countries than in Western countries. And secondly, even without the same-gender issue, in real life (as opposed to typical manga), I would think it rarely happens that you realize you're in love, then you immediately proceed to scream it out at the other person, in public no less.

And that fake smile No-rae gave... contrast that with her genuine happy smiles last chapter.

Could be she's just assuming that any future romantic relationship will just end the same as the previous one, especially if that was her first one.

ARGH, I thought I remembered to fix that.

Thanks for that!

Yeah, in Firefox, it makes your page navigate to a blank page that says "[object Object]".

My usual trick to make it work for Firefox is to surround the whole thing with
(function(){
and
})();
That way, it creates an unnamed function and executes it right away.
/geekstuff

 
So my fixed version that works in all major browsers including Firefox:

 

Random pro-tip

Bookmarklet to unhide all spoilers on the page

Create a new bookmark on your browser's bookmark toolbar, and put this as the URL of the bookmark:

javascript:(function(){$('.spoilers').removeClass('spoilers').css('background','lightgray');})();
This removes the black highlighting and replaces it with light gray highlighting.

Alternatively:

javascript:(function(){$('.spoilers').removeClass('spoilers');})();
This only removes the black highlighting. (You won't be able to tell what used to be marked as spoilers.)

Now, you essentially have a 'button' on the bookmark toolbar
such that when you click on it, it will unhide the spoilers on the current page.

 
(Edit: I think I'll post this in a new, separate thread, since the "black bar" problem doesn't even apply in this thread anymore.)

@Anon Good point.

I think No-rae's also very confused right now.

Seol-a's very touchy feely with me, but then she has a guy anyway! What the hell? I don't understand! confused and jealous and angry That's what I think anyway...

It could be entirely possible that No-rae isn't comfortable with physical contact. From what we've seen, it's always Seol-a initiating the skinship, not No-rae. She might have fallen asleep on Seol-a's shoulder without realizing it (I do this a lot myself lol). But yes, we should also consider that No-rae likes Seol-a, whether she wants to admit it or not, so it's natural that she would get nervous.

I personally think that No-rae just called Seol-a to hang out. They're friends, and it's only natural that she would want to know what Seol-a's up to when they're in the same area.

I think No-rae is angry, but she's angry at herself. She never wanted to fall in love again, and that's why she's always been really careful about guarding her feelings; yet, she let Seol-a in. Chapter 28 sort of confirmed my speculations from the last chapter. No-rae has finally realized that she loves Seol-a, but now that she knows, she wants to distance herself so she won't have to go through the same pain again.

Ooh the cold treatment! Thank you for the translation! I hope the raws will be uploaded soon on Google Drive. Anyway I really find that underclassman irritating! Always flirting with Seol-a, always sticking next to her given the chance! I don't know if Seol-a's being too kind to him or she's totally oblivious to his intentions or maybe both.. I mean damn it she just keeps on accepting whenever he ask her. Well it was half hearted... Even so I'm having a bad feeling about this guy. Well whatever. I'm looking forward for the next update, as always :-)

Yeah.

Minor rant: It's a bit annoying sometimes that certain people (not necessarily here on DS) keep saying stuff like "how come they didn't kiss yet" or "they should get together already!! come on!!!" I mean, if they're looking for "instant gratification" manga/manhwa, there are literally hundreds/thousands of them out there, especially all those one-shots where it is pretty much guaranteed that the couple will get together by the end of the chapter.

By the way, I'm not saying I'm against those kinds of stories either. I'm just saying FF is not one of those stories, and people should not be surprised or angry at the pace of the development.

Ah, yeah, could be what you guys said too. (Those were just two random theories on my part. Obviously, everything said by me or anyone else is pure speculation and conjecture until it is explicitly stated in the manhwa.)

You guys have a good point too; No-rae's past relationship is a huge plot point that hasn't been explored much up until now.

Thanks Halmoni!

Last chapter (chapter 27), No-Rae was acting out of character since the very beginning of her dinner meeting with Seol-A.

I don´t think so, she acted normally until Seol-A asked her to touch her.. And only after Seol-A made her touch her skin she realised what it was she was feeling.

There was no indication from Samba that No-Rae had realized anything at that point.

Small things, from realizing how pretty she is their first time meeting, the highlights:
In the subway

Ch 21 Her heart beating when she sees Seol-A, and later in the bus staring at her legs..

 Public Transport is essential for developing Yuri Feelings!

It could be entirely possible that No-rae isn't comfortable with physical contact.

She is quite physical with Hye-kyung

I was expecting this type of reaction from Norae, though she is a little harsh on Seol-A and I wasnt expecting that. I think she knows what she feels but still cant deal with it so she avoids Seol-A and maybe she was jealous at the cafeteria again because Seol was with a guy (again). But its fine, she not just realized that she is probably in love again, but also she is in love with a girl and that girl is Seol-A, her head (and heart) might be a mess. And Seol-A is still kinda clueless, I really wonder how is she going ro realize she likes Norae and how both are going to deal with their sexuality.

I cant wait for the next chapter, ssamba said its a special chapter spazz

I do agree with craptree on your first point, halmoni, but I think your explanation for the nervousness is definitely on point.

I think that you're right in regards of her guarding her feelings and trying to distance herself from Seol-A. I'm not so sure if that would explain why she's lashing out at Seol-A though...perhaps an unintentional consequence of Seol-A continuing to ignore the space she's trying to put between the two? You've made a good point though...I think No-rae is mostly angry at herself, but I still can't shake the feeling that jealousy is bleeding through as well...(or perhaps I just want her to be jealous hah).

craptree:

This, but also the realization she is gay I guess?

I think Seol-a could be gay, but I think No-rae is definitely bi at least...she seemed to be completely infatuated with her ex-. So much so that it broke her quite badly.

craptree:

I don´t think so, she acted normally until Seol-A asked her to touch her.. And only after Seol-A made her touch her skin she realised what it was she was feeling.

Actually (taking a page out of your book to pull up evidence because we can do that now haha!):

No-rae seems pretty nervous to me here...the sweatdrop and the "ha ha" with ellipsis make her interactions seem questionable. Halmoni's earlier response about her nervousness at Seol-a being so close being an indicator of her feelings (despite not really realizing it) make her strange behavior make more sense though.

Oh goodness, no. I definitely wasn't expecting that, but I was expecting No-rae to go off (quietly) with Seol-a and have another awkward conversation before they both proceed to leave with nothing settled. Honestly didn't just expect her to completely leave and then proceed to completely outright and obviously ignore the poor girl. That's another one of the things I'm confused about...No-rae is being pretty blatant about ignoring Seol-a. If she was really that worried about perceptions, I would have thought she'd try and keep it as subtle as possible...act as normal as possible unless it was completely unavoidable. She literally snubbed Seol-a in words, ignored her texts, etc.

I mean, I don't know about you guys in general, but if I'm ignoring someone, I respond to everything they send me (albeit extremely slowly, and as concise as possible) so as not to draw attention to the fact that I'm indeed avoiding them. The only thing that changes is the manner of which I respond. I've only ever avoided people I'm uncomfortable with...maybe crushes add a different aspect into the equation.

EDIT : Actually, I am pretty obvious in person though...that's pretty much unavoidable. But, I definitely don't do the verbal snubs (and, like I said earlier, the electronic snubs) that No-rae most definitely did. I guess that's the main reason I think she's (at minimum) a bit miffed at Seol-a.

That's quite likely, actually (why she wanted to see Seol-a). Maybe the Ji-hwan conversation stirred up something. I just can't seem to buy the coincidence call, because whenever they hung out before, it always seemed like coincidence. I can't recall a single incident where one of them actually called/texted the other to hang out. On the beach, it was because Seol-a got up before No-rae escaped. The movie/exhibit was because Seol-a ran into No-rae as the latter was leaving for the movie.

To be honest, I don't think this has been made clear yet. I see it more of No-rae reacting in relation to what happened in her past and not wanting to go back down that same path. Get into a relationship, have your heart broken big time, and so on. I'm suspecting she's a bit phobic of having another romantic relationship and less about if it's with a man or woman. Could be she's just assuming that any future romantic relationship will just end the same as the previous one, especially if that was her first one.

It might just be too soon, tbh. It's only been what...a year? She seemed to really like the bloke and he seems to have crushed her. I can understand wanting to shut down all romantic aspects for a while after something that traumatic. Ultimately, the jury's still out (for me) on the reason why No-rae's avoiding the crap out of Seol-a.

Man! I was thinking the same thing!
Calls to meet up ---- Then I just go to the washroom and then you have a guy already? F you dude! Like, I wanted to spend the rest of the day with you and then you have another company anyway...

That was what I was thinking, and then in this chapter No-Rae said, in a small text, "So you came with Kyung-woo too." Seems like jealousy and anger. I think that's a good thing though.

HAH, yes! That's pretty much exactly why I thought she was jealous...I do think halmoni's right though...most of No-rae's anger is probably directed towards herself. Although, I think that that's because No-rae realizes that there's a stigma associated with her being jealous (i.e. society dictates she shouldn't be jealous or it's strange, etc.).

Oh and thanks so much to anonymous and guavagusta for the firefox fix. :)

I use both interchangeably, but only had the fix on chrome (hadn't installed it on FF yet).

This is a good thing though! I mean, just look at it, wouldn't it be sweeter (for us) if they reconciled after this storm is over? I think that's definitely going to be sweet.

I agree. I think if I realized that I was gay, I'd hate the crap out of myself because it's, I mean, lesbianest (pun intended), not the 'norm'.

(Not that it's a bad thing!)
