I adore Seunghyun & Chaejun so much, saw someone say that they're so 'casually in love' and I couldn't agree more. They make space for each other in their life so 'casually' that it feels like loving each other comes to them as easily as breathing. Their love is so ordinary yet extraordinary; I can't get enough of them. They are both so obviously obsessed with each other that they will probably never be able to go back to being by themself, but honestly, that's okay because they love to watch the other thrive, and it's all mutual. They accept each other despite their flaws, and it's so refreshing to see how well they communicate.
Their childhood (past) really got to me. I can't stop thinking about how Seunghyun and Yeseung's parents failed BOTH of them so miserably. I adore Yeseung so much. Poor baby was also just a child back then, the fact that he registered that at a very young age that if he worked hard enough he'd brother would at least be free to do whatever his heart desires. Yeseung truly does love his baby brother, might seem a bit overbearing and much like tough love at first, but you can really see how much he actually cares about Seunghyun as the story progresses. He observes what Seunghyun loves, gives him as much time as he can even though he's swamped and suffocated himself. He really did want Seunghyun to pursue his happiness, he'd give anything to make sure his brother got the future he wanted even if it meant he'd have to use himself for it. Seunghyun's 'breakdown?' probably had him second guessing everything he ever did, he was so devastated by his brother's crashout that he went away to the military to give him space :( Seunghyun and Yeseung's drifting apart makes me so sad because they both needed eachother so much at that point of their lives.
Seunghyun loved his brother so much that he looked up to him as his role-model. So much so that his self-worth was forever tied to the words Yeseung said that night to divert his parents from forcing their expectations from Seunghyun. Their parents are HORRIBLE. Not only where they so emotionally draining for the brothers, their love comes with a cost. They cared more about their goal of opening of their school than any of their sons. They used the eldest as an advertisement for how great they are and left the younger one to wallow in inferiority complex because having a 'smart' kid was enough for their reputation. The fact that Seunghyun got into taekwondo in the first place because his mother said he looks cool while doing it (all because she couldn't spare time for her son too btw) and then when he finally found something he wanted to do that he was great at they snatched it back right away. It's already hard enough when they act like he almost doesn't exist but the fact that they would also treat him like some bothersome is crazy to me. To feel like you are invisible in the one place that you are supposed to find comfort is so sad (especially when you are a child). I felt a pang in my heart when the brothers both opened up. They deserve to know that they have someone cheering for them, supporting each of their steps even if it's silently. Oh the part where Seunghyun cries and says something along the lines of 'You were also just a child back then' really had me devastated. They both matured way before kids their age should and that is truly sad.
Oh my baby Chaejun, he was such a tiny little bunny cutie <3 Even though he was TINY back then he still had that foul mouth on him. His abandonment issues are etched so deep in him, that too from such a young age :(( The part were he used to draw houses and furniture for his family dreaming about when they'd be back together :( AND HE'D WAIT FOR CARS (VROOM VROOM) BECAUSE HIS MOTHER SAID SHE'S GONNA COME BACKKK- He got so attached to Seunghyun even though he'd act like he didn't give a damn. The staff room incident was so hard on him, not just physically, but also because he was so severely scared of being abandoned. Watching a tiny Chaejun clinging onto Seunghyun's taekwondo uniform in a small, musty room, waiting to be saved but no one came to get him out until it was almost too late :( Also the fact that Seunghyun DID go to find him but he was told off :( They were just kids :(((((
I love how, when they grew up you can see tidbits of their younger selves. The fact that Chaejun studies furniture design is because he always wanted to make a home where he lives his loved ones and his 'hyung'. Chaejun making the bed for Seunghyun is such a full circle moment too. They are still obsessed with each other and will be with each other 'forever' as they promised as children. It's almost like they knew they'd end up together once they grew up.
I love how they prioritise each other so much; they have their fights like any other couple, but once they think things through, they come to a solution together. I love how they take care of each other, how Chaejun makes sure Seunghyun knows his self-worth, and how Seunghyun always reassures Chaejun that he's never leave his side because he's just THAT obsessed. Both of them are freaks, best of all they are 2 freaks who are freakier TOGETHER. They are each other's home, safe haven, comfort and everything. I adore them so, so much.
I also love Chaejun's uncle. I can't help but notice how both him and Yeseung play similar roles in Chaejun and Seunghyun's lives (respectively). Both primary caregivers/gaurdians other than the parents, love Chaejun and Seunghyun and are very overprotective of them. (IHOPETHEYHAVEASIDESTORYTOGETHERITWOULDBESODELICIOUS)
[I know a lot of people are unsatisfied because Seunghyun doesn't resolve his issues with his parents, but perhaps that is normal. Not everyone can fix a fractured relationship with their parents; it's especially harder when the parents are not actually explosively abusive or horrible. It all lies in the nuances, and his parents don't feel like people who'd think they were at fault anyways. They'll probably hold on to the notion that THEY were correct all along anyways :(]
