Hug You for the Last Time

"Hug You for the Last Time" tells a story about love, attachment and powerlessness. She, a gentle yet stubborn girl, suffered from an incurable disease; he, a boy who loved her deeply, tried his best to protect her, but he was still unable to change her fate. From the first time they met to the time they got to know each other, they experienced countless sweet moments: the chuckles during class, the shoulders to lean on when coming home from school, and the quiet companionship late at night. Every smile and hug made him feel the warmth of love, but it also made him understand more painfully that one day, he would no longer be able to protect her. The story is narrated in the first person by the boyfriend, with a colloquial and life-like tone, allowing readers to feel his joy, throbbing, anxiety and pain.

In the extra chapter, he learns to live with her memory in the days after his loss, integrating the love she left for him into his every day. Although they can no longer stay together, that profound love has become the most precious strength in his life, and it also makes readers understand that true love does not necessarily mean staying together forever, but that every warmth in the heart can be remembered no matter life or death.
