his reflection about the moment you're living as if it was already in the past because you actually want it to never end but you know one day it will end one way or another is such a heartbreak and soooo relatable I can't even explain the pain it is living through it, knowing that's in the range of overthinking and maladaptive daydreaming but you can't help yourself... feel him fr.
The end of the chapter made me smile they're both cutie pies
tbh I think jinwoo didn't go to taeyoung only because of his attraction, his parents have been shown to be very controlling and berating his choices of studies... he's literally paying for everything himself and working to afford his studies, he's making his own path and going back to his mom for her birthday would have only subjected him to more of the same berating he always gets in their presence ever since he chose lighting (idk if that's the terme but yeah) as a career. Also he's very smart and at the edge of his rope mentally, he kept showing he's exhausted and backed in a corner with all the shit piling up on him so he needed the freedom, peace and "wild" choice taeyoung represents to him rn. like that's him going head empty and finally peaceful in a way. Not only him being attracted to taeyoung in a loving way. That's my opinion











it's funny and so married couple behaviour of him to hurriedly put back on the glasses when he saw jeongro had come to the office lol. knowing that he'd get scolded probably if jeongro saw him not putting them on
