atm, garam is ignoring heejae whenever they’re alone together, but they’re still staying in the same room since they’re in a hotel. at the start of the chapter, garam talks to heejae’s piano teacher (the old woman), and she immediately clocks that garam and heejae are together. she says it’s obvious from the way they look at each other, and she tells garam that heejae has changed. garam thinks so too, but he says he doesn’t know why and that he still wants more from him (completely valid, btw). then the teacher has a whole talk with heejae about the story of orpehus and eurydice (full circle moment). she explains how orpehus had one job: not to look back and to keep moving forward so he could be with eurydice.but he eventually looked back because he was overcome with doubt and the fear of losing her forever. she relates that to heejae and tells him that if he wants their relationship to work out, he can’t keep looking back at his old habits. then heejae has his usual crash out with the orchestra, followed by a whole internal monologue about how he’s always expressed his feelings through his music, and how what garam is asking from him is something too human for him. but then I’m assuming he has some kind of epiphany. after his performance is over, he doesn’t get up from his chair, and I don’t really know how to describe what happens next because you need to see the panels to understand it. I’d say heejae goes through some kind of metamorphosis. I’m hoping it means he’s finally accepting that he’s human too, and that he can actually show garam that he loves him. this was one of my favourite chapters, so so so good omg. sorry for the lengthy paragraph

has anyone else read chp 205 because wow
