YOURE SO CREATIVE Omg I never thought abt this

Hehe thank you (=・ω・=)

I thought he stood on it to be taller = show he has the upper hand/high ground

Yes, we have the same thinking! Meaning, it’s still Nanjo who has the “power position” in the relationship, because he’s the calmer, more stable, and more mature one who can handle things, unlike Mokyeon.

The only difference between your interpretation and mine is—and you can correct me if I’m wrong—that I was thinking more along the lines of Nanjo being the one taking the initiative to move the relationship forward and make it work, while yours is more about Nanjo having the control and dominance.

And honestly, I don’t think your interpretation is necessarily wrong either. I’ve seen other comments saying the same thing. The difference is that when I said Nanjo has “control,” I meant control of the relationship, not necessarily control over Mokyeon himself. Like, Nanjo might actually be the one who wants to take the initiative and make things work between them.

Whereas having the “upper hand” can also be interpreted more as, “I’m in control, and you just have to listen and obey me because I have more power than you”—whether that’s because I’m older, richer, taller, stronger, etc. And I don’t really think Nanjo is that type of person. From the creator’s note, it says that Nanjo hates people who are scumbags and doesn’t like people using their power or strength to force others to listen to them or like them (don’t remember exact words) So I don’t think he would do that to Mokyeon either.

But of course, it also depends on what Nanjo actually says and does in the next chapter. If he really does say something hurtful to Mokyeon like everyone is predicting, then I could see it as him wanting to control and dominate Mok. But if he actually kisses Mok instead, then that’s a green light that he genuinely wants to make things clear and establish something more stable between them.

Sorry for the yapping gosh i can’t write short sentences
