YALL THEIR LOVE ISNT SUDDEN, the REALIZATION is. their romantic relationship is new, but their emotional intimacy has YEARS of history behind it. that’s why the whole “jooan suddenly fell for seojoon” argument feels so reductive the story didn’t suddenly create a bond between them!!!!! it changed how jooan understands a bond that was already there!!!!! and this is where the distinction between hajin and seojoon becomes SO important: hajin represents the love jooan consciously CHASED, while seojoon represents the love jooan unconsciously LIVED. hajin was the person jooan spent years WANTING. seojoon was the person he spent years HAVING. like HELLO??? that distinction is EVERYTHING. and the really delicious part is that hajin himself understands something about jooan’s relationship with seojoon before jooan does. he’s basically telling jooan, “you’ve been loved in a way you didn’t recognize because you were too focused on the form you expected love to take.”
so it’s not “jooan forgot hajin and randomly picked seojoon.” PLEASE!!!!! it’s literally about jooan realizing that the kind of love he had been chasing wasn’t necessarily the only form love could takeand that he had already been deeply loved by someone who had been beside him all along!!!!!!!!!!! SO SWEEEEEEET BRO I AM CURRENTLY LOSING MY MIND
