It's the way Hotae waited for Donghee, waited and made himself worse, waited and pushed himself to be worse so he would never confess to Donghee because he knew how much he loved him and he was certain Donghee would never be able to love him back (he left him, didn't he? he left him behind and he almost didn't come back). Utterly heartbreaking to see him still struggling with dating women and letting them beat him up and then watching Donghee try to take care of him (like he used, like why he almost became a doctor, like the dream Hotae gave him all those years ago that he abandoned) and Hotae rejecting him because he's tired of being rejected and it's just utterly heartrending to remember them in the hospital, on the phone, Donghee afraid to see him and Hotae losing everything to an accident and it's just... oh, the ache of them.

and nothing bad ever happened again and they lived happily ever after!

Thank you. It's beautiful.

Honestly, revisiting this show after The Time of Fever is fascinating because it really starts out feeling like Hotae was the one who left Donghee rather than the other way around. And seeing this line after the show just hits differently. And when an injured Hotae gets brought in and Donghee brings out his first aid kit?

This is agony knowing their backstory, knowing the love that was between them and who rejected who and how heartbroken they both were and the joy they used to bring to each other that they can't even approach right now. Ugh. My entire heart to them.

Hits so differently now. Ugh. I do love prequels. Though I wish we could get a happy ending sequel as well. They deserve joy, damnit.

Honestly, just everything about them is so much more painful with the new knowledge of who they were to each other and who they were together and how that all ended.

Absolutely feral over them now. Hotae finally pushing for what he's wanted for so long (because he's wanted this for so long) and the instant rejection from Donghee out of trauma and I love them so much more on a second viewing and with the new show in mind.

The way Donghee literally looks like an angel from Hotae's POV 🥺

You should smile. I like to see you smile. I never smiled that much. I just realized you don’t know yourself that well. You’ve always been a gentle guy who likes to smile. You’ve been like this since you were little. You always liked to smile and you were gentle. Even so, how can I smile now? I’m not a crazy man. I haven’t smiled in a long time. It’s nice to smile like this.
