Of all the things from shows last week, the one thing that I keep coming back to is Ming, convinced that Joe is his Joe and breathing him in. For the first time really focused on the face that isn't looking back at him. Wanting Joe to look at him and eventually giving in to cuddling his back. The peace on the man's face after 2 years of waiting. Being the only person who believed Joe was going to come home.
It's way more than he deserves but was clearly what he needed.
Up was talking about the nc scenes and how he and poom had intimacy workshops and they would fully give consent to touch the other person, again it's just cool to see they aren't put off or ashamed with their intimate scenes shy at most which is just expected lol. Especially with us knowing how joe and mings' relationship with sex is kinda tumultuous yet very passionate, so it's good to see they are though very satisfied with it.
Don't mind me ... just thinking about what looks like Joe smiling in response to Ming blowing his back out quietly calling him "Phi" in this midst of this sinus-tingling rail session
All jokes aside, this moment is quite significant because up until now Ming has been using "Khun" (an honorific somewhat similar to Mr. in English, which is a neutral, polite, and formal title you use with strangers etc.) to address Joe 2.0, so switching to "Phi" (less formal than Khun; lit. older sibling, but is used to address someone older and familiar while still maintaining a level of respect; often written as P' before a name/nickname) at this point in time is both prayer and credence that the Joe before him is P'Joe, the one that he knows and loves
