About this deal

Cirrus goes to get Candy, and thanks Da-in again for taking care of her. As he’s walking home, he notices a leaf resting on Candy's head. He laughs a bit as he finds it cute, and he makes a note of how nice the day is. He thinks about how excited Skylar must be to have the flash drive. [40] As the two young men make their way to Cirrus's house, Skylar freaks out silently when he realizes how rich Cirrus is. [4] After steadying himself in the restroom, Skylar enters Cirrus's room, where he playfully pats Cirrus's dog, Cotton Candy. After Skylar embarrasses himself, Cirrus gets to the point, and referencing the message Skylar had sent to him, [6] he explains that he wants Skylar to do things for him. For every action that Skylar does for him, Cirrus will delete the number of images he feels correlated with the deed. He also adds that he saved all the images on a flash drive. [4] After hesitating for a moment, Skylar agrees to the deal. Skylar explains that he first met Minwoo when he was about 8 years old, [48] and they became best friends almost instantly. In his middle school life, his parents got a divorce, [49] and he was originally supposed to live with his father, while Ha-Yeon lived with their mother. Skylar, upon realizing he wasn't ever going to see his mother and sister anymore, chose to live with them instead. [49] While living with his mother, she put large amounts of pressure on him as he was "the man of the house". In retaliation for this pressure, Skylar stayed at home less and hung out with his friends more frequently. He'd stay out late, wouldn't tell her where he was and would lie to her. This caused the two to get into frequent arguments with each other. These arguments and pressure only increased when Ha-Yeon became injured because of Skylar’s neglect, and when his mother found out Skylar smoked. [49] Cirrus asks Skylar if his friends ever come up to him for anything else other than to borrow his things, and he doesn’t understand why Skylar keeps humoring them. Skylar replies that he’s not humoring them. He lets them use his stuff because they’re his friends. Skylar asks Cirrus why he’s conversing with him, as their business with each other is done. Cirrus teases him, asking him how he can abandon him after seeing him naked. Skylar, in his head, tells Cirrus that he was the one who came out of the bathroom naked. Then, Skylar realizes he has nothing more to do with Cirrus and he doesn’t need to keep conversing with him. Skylar grins evilly and tells Cirrus he could care less what he thinks of him. Then, he leaves Cirrus alone. [41] At a gaming café, the group decides to compete to see who sleeps where, since there's only two beds and six of them. Seung-yeon, Yoochan, Ji-Gyeom, and Cirrus lost. Seung-yeon begins to urge for a rematch, due to him not wanting to smell Yoochan's feet. He tries to get the others who lost to join in his rally, however, no one else does. He asks Cirrus if he doesn't care about Yoochan's stinky feet, to which Cirrus explains that he probably won't, as he is no longer in their group for the trip. [20] He had switched himself out to be in Skylar's group, as he thought it would be amusing. [21]

If anyone else were in his shoes right now, they’d think the situation was romantic. The room was dark save for the soft candlelight on the table, it was hot and humid with the smell of roses, and he’d just eaten the fanciest slice of cake in his life. But the bells and whistles of romance always lead to an escalating series of events. During the school trip, as the group is getting situated in their rooms, Skylar gives Cirrus a death stare upon realizing that he is now in the same group as him. Cirrus just responds with a happy smile. [21] Ji-Gyeom, seeing this interaction, immediately asks Cirrus why he's in the room with Skylar and tells him to ask the teacher to change his room. However, Cirrus tells him that the groups are already set and that he can still hang out with the group during the trip. As they're talking, Skylar tries to go inside the room, and Cirrus tries to help him carry his bags. However, Skylar doesn't let him and tells him to leave it alone. [21] Meanwhile, with Chan-il, he tells his friends about Skylar, which causes Cirrus to laugh hysterically, while Ji-Gyeom curses Skylar. Cirrus tells Chan-il that he understands where Skylar is coming from because he had already told Chan-il to leave him alone before. He asks Chan-il if he’s trying to befriend Skylar out of pity because Skylar is alone all the time. Cirrus continues that if that’s the case, then Chan-il shouldn’t do that, as it could be annoying from Skylar’s perspective, especially since he had already told Chan-il to leave him alone. Chan-il then feels guilty about his actions. [22]

The next day, Skylar doesn't eat before taking his medication and experiences the side effects while in school. [17] However, that day is the midterm test day, and he isn't able to focus because of the effects. [17] He feels drowsy, and rests his head on the desk and falls asleep. A sensitively written narrative that moves away from the typical institutional approaches to grief for children

Realizing the situation was a false alarm, Skylar calms himself down and leaves the bathroom, where he comes face to face with Cirrus. Cirrus explains he had forgotten his water bottle and asks that they return to class together since they're going the same way. Skylar obliges, and the two walk together in silence, with Skylar walking a little ways behind Cirrus. It is from this situation that Skylar began to question Cirrus's actions and his true motive. However, he never voiced them due to him being too scared to, as he thought it would break the promise they made. [7] After Skylar begs, Cirrus is concerned that his uniform will get dirty. With Skylar crying and saying he will tell Chan-il so to not say anything, Cirrus gets down on one knee and promises he will not say anything. Guiding him to calm down, Cirrus states to get up. Before Skylar heads off to school, he tries to convince his mother that he is okay to stop going to his doctor's appointments for his mental health [2]. However, this causes his mother to start worrying that something is going on, so Skylar drops the subject. However, unbeknownst to her, he had already stopped taking the medicine for some time [3] . Meanwhile, Skylar is destroying the flash drive. First, he puts it in water, breaks it open to get the memory card, and unwraps the card. After all that, he throws it away. [40] He realizes that it might fall out of the bag, and pushes the memory card far down to the bottom of the bag. As he’s doing so, Ha-yeon asks him what he’s looking for. Skylar immediately drops what he’s doing and walks away from the trash bag, explaining that he thought one of his mechanical pencils was in there. As he’s walking away, Ha-yeon asks him if he’s close with the friend that came over, and that he should give her a warning before he comes over. She explains that she looked like a “bum”, and it was embarrassing. Skylar laughs and tells her that his friend is never coming over to their place, so she shouldn’t worry about looking like a bum. She should just be her normal self.

They then not only share their grief for Mommy, but also make a plan on how to talk to her. Daddy says it's ok to have all kinds of emotions about Mommy not being there in the house to hug.

At the library, Skylar muses over a particular question, finding the method used to solve it difficult to understand. He lays his head down and begins to nod off, however, he catches himself and decides to go get some air. While out, he buys some food. he hears someone call him.

It tells a story using familiar things like the weather, especially focusing on the sky and playing in the garden. It's overall a positive story that can lift the heart. It also shows children how Billy finds comfort in clouds and sunny days. It therefore also gives children ideas for discovering hope and comfort, especially on sunnier days. These are Billy's happy days. The harder days are painted as more gloomy, stormy weather. So, this book cleverly shows different emotions through these weather changes, which can in turn help with some understanding of emotions experienced when grieving. During his hang-out with Chan-il in Episode 26, Skylar muses over his life once more. He thinks about his past with Minwoo, where their history with each other is shown. This takes place throughout 12 Episodes and is titled “ Yeon Skylar'' with corresponding numbers. The beautifully illustrated children’s book follows Billy and his father as they navigate the loss of his mother. It includes: Cirrus couldn't accept this fact, he thought that his popularity was the reason that was making him lose his sanity, but no, no... It was the fact that this all happened in February, the month of the lovey-dovey season. Cirrus subconsciously wanted to have his little moment with Skylar someday in this month, too bad Skylar is swarmed with girls recently.He has a tendency to be apathetic to other's feelings, as shown when he was desultory when Skylar tried to explain why he was angry with him. It is shown that Cirrus struggles a great deal with being vulnerable and opening up to others, leading to this aggressive and cold behaviour when cornered. Another example of this when he used Skylar to humiliate his stepmother in public, even though the man was uncomfortable with it. Cirrus did not seem to understand why Skylar was not attracted to him, despite how he treated him in their first few months of knowing each other.

The stupid look on Chan-il's face tells him he forget, and Cirrus sighs as he details how Chan-il made them wait over an hour in the freezing cold the other day before adding whatever, it is up to him. While he was passed out, Skylar, in a drunken haze, let his feelings get the better of him, and kissed Minwoo. [52] Unbeknownst to him, Minwoo was awake when it happened. [52] After getting into an argument, Skylar left Minwoo's house. While he was running home, he reflected on the situation, realizing the possibility that he could be gay, but not wanting to accept that, he tried to blame it on the alcohol. Although, he knew he wasn't fooling himself. [52]Outside the school gate, Ri-in tells Cirrus that she won't be coming to his festival, however, she's actually about to go inside with Yeonji. [47] Character Episodes: [ ] Seong Chan-il (1-2): [ ] On the trip, the young men in Skylar’s group decides to combine the beds to make a bigger bed, so they can all sleep on them. Cirrus, uncomfortable at the thought of having to sleep in a pile of six men, [23] tries to dissuade them by proposing that one of them sleeps on the floor. However, none of the other men seem to want to do so. As Cirrus is about to let them continue their plans, Skylar pitches he’ll be the one to sleep on the sofa, [23] and he leaves the room. Due to this, the young men keep the beds where they were. Skylar’s mother lets him go, and Cirrus says his farewell. Skylar wastes no time in pushing him out the door, explaining to his mom that he’ll walk Cirrus out. As the two exits the apartment, Skylar sits down, finally relaxing, and asks Cirrus why he came to his house without telling him. Cirrus requests they take a walk. As the two are walking, Cirrus explains that Skylar’s mother had spotted him as he was leaving his house. Cirrus continues by stating he remembered Skylar had told him to make sure his mother didn’t see him, so he was worried she had seen his face. He came by his house to make sure she hadn’t. [39] He asks Skylar if she said anything to him. aMothers |xDeath |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2019102934 |vJuvenile literature. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001674 Three days later, during the weekend, Skylar is at home, figuring out a way to tell Chan-il that he had canceled their plans.
