That is why capturing such fleeting moments in pictures are powerful as they encapsulate not only the imagery, but also the emotion behind them.

Using monochrome with an occasional dash of red or pink hues, the pictures are done in a minimalistic style, which makes them all the more captivating.

One can almost feel the actual heartbreak of the characters when Kim draws one of them alone, longing for an absent partner.

While neither of the characters speak in the drawings, their actions speak volumes of the beautiful bond between them.

Simple gestures such as handing out an umbrella, covering another person with a jacket, or fixing one’s lightbulb are all acts of affection that many people can relate to.
