    This book is absolutely heartbreaking! I highly recommend it!! The first part of the short story finale might be a little... Well, you can skip it if you find it boring, the rest is really, really good. Still, I highly recommend it! The author's writing is superb! The male lead is a detective and the female lead is an undercover agent, especially the part where the female lead breaks up with him to protect him—it was so incredibly moving!!! And the female lead also has a super amazing older brother and a childhood friend who sacrifices himself to protect her (he loves her, but she doesn't love him, and he knows it, so he silently protects her—you know that feeling of unrequited love!). And later, even after the female lead's sacrifice, the male lead can't get over it and remains in a dreamlike state—it was truly devastating!! If you really like angst, I highly recommend this book!
