thank you so much hwa i'm glad you enjoyed it :) as much as the jolaurie reality kills me, i couldn't bear to do that to wonhui, and at the end of the day i don't really believe wonwoo would be that desperate unless he was really in love with someone which... that level of desperation is difficult to see in an average idolverse context. so although it was a bit of a thought experiment, i see this as wonwoo and jun both acting out of character simply because they are acting in what they perceive to be the best interest of the other person. wonwoo thinks jun wants romance (more) and jun thinks wonwoo wants practicality (more). and although they know each other so well and they're not really wrong, they're sort of hyperfixating on the wrong things, and losing sight of what the other has already decided to give up on. they really are so silly :')
