Foolhardy recklessness to kickstart change, just the way Hyung taught him

Watching Han Kihwan’s violent tendencies and outbursts makes me wonder if—in addition to everything that makes him a shitty father already—he ever raised a hand to Joowon.

Especially since he’s been the “single parent” for so long, and without any other sibling, Joowon would be the only one to conveniently be the outlet of Han Kihwan’s anger.

Then it makes you wonder if it may be partly the reason for Joowon’s aversion to touch: because he has never experienced the tenderness of it, only the violence.

It also makes you wonder if that’s why Joowon keeps a tight rein on his emotions: he sees what an outburst of emotion does to his father, and what his father does to the people surrounding him because of it, and maybe: Joowon doesn’t want that to happen to him.

To become like his father.

It’s interesting because the more I look at Han Kihwan, the more I realize Joowon has inherited that temperament: that tendency to have outbursts of emotion.

(Or maybe it’s simply because he had no proper role model to look up to.)

And then it makes you wonder if that’s also part of his aversion to touch: his fear that he will hurt other people too.

Because that’s the only kind of touch he’s ever known.

And maybe, just maybe, Joowon fears the violent tendencies he may have inherited from his father so much that it’s the reason why he chooses to be alone.

In this way, perhaps he had convinced himself—at least no one will get hurt because of him.

Because of his touch.

(So imagine—imagine—his surprise in discovering that not only does Dongsik not break from his touch, no matter how powerful his outburst of emotion is, but seems to match it, pushing back with the same intensity.

Imagine his surprise at finding someone who not only doesn’t fear his touch, not only doesn’t break from it, but more than anything—seeks it.)

Okay so as gay person and gay fanfic consumer, one of my biggest frustrations is when authors go with the easy route of like making the older, more seemingly dominant character the top as default, ignoring all the signs. It makes me think they've never met gay people outside of shipping lol

All this to say...Lee Dong Shik is a bottom, and that is a hill I will die on.

A month has passed and I still can't get over this scene

The relief (and annoyance) on Dongsik's face and Joowon's bitchy stare and tone after seeing that face.

And the whole flirting after that.

Look at his 'deserved-a-slap' face lol. I love that the whole episode 10 and a bit of episode 9 showed us bitchy Joowon. It's so funny and annoying at the same time.

you ever just see a character and they are just so pathetic…?

……just SO ridiculous??

like you can’t even imagine how they were able to function and exist up to this point because seriously honey are you okay???

and you want to just love them and take care of them but you also know they should be pointed at and laughed at and bullied for their own good???

you just ask yourself all the time… would his character get even messier if he fell in love with another idiot?? would investigating his feelings cause more issues or fix him??? if he got railed within an inch of his life would he calm down????

does he just need a hot girl summer??? does he need to be more gay????

you ever just think so much about a character… about how he’s just a whole pathetic idiot who is so damn messy and pitiful, traumatized and prideful, emotionally constipated…. and so freaking human?
