- cheoljin flinching when he hears minwoo and his brother fighting...he does NOT like it when family fight (trauma from his own experiences?)
- cheoljin can tell minwoo's brother is judging him for coming from a "poorer" background(that slide of the brother looking at his dirty shoes) and he's still trying to make a good impression at the end ;~;
- minwoo really loves giving and spoiling the person he loves. (there's some element of financial privilege involved here too ig) I rly think it's his love language... I rly feel like this is core to (present) cheoljin now coming back to minwoo more successful and famous and determined to spoil him in return and buy him things; for him it's core to being true equals BUT tbh minwoo rly loves giving and I think cheoljin learning how to be cared for is core to future developments
- minwoo fully believes cheoljin is an angel (like a rabbit) but cheoljin probably DID approach minwoo for some ulterior motivation at first even though he now regrets it and really doesn't want to "owe" minwoo anything. so when minwoo is like MY BROTHER IS WRONG YOU"RE A GOOD PERSON cheoljin probably is like...well he's right, I'm a bad person
- cheoljin seems to say something important to minwoo when he holds his hand but minwoo is too distracted by the handholding to hear?? lol (I think this is a common dynamic for them where minwoo is so enamored with cheoljin that he misses certain things about him) I feel like we'll find out later on?
- but anyways it's clear young minwoo put cheoljin on a pedestal...present minwoo assumes only the worst of cheoljin...the key will be him being able to accept how complex cheoljin is as a WHOLE person imo. meanwhile cheoljin is going to have to learn how to be actually vulnerable with his feelings/wants/needs instead of manipulating people into doing things for him (vs just asking for help) + learning to let go of control and being honest? bc that's what it also means to treat ur partner with respect. long journey ahead...
