aaaaaaaaaaaaaa TT______TT this is so perfect really. i love the contrast between emotional ww openly afraid to connect with people and jun who likes the thrill of the games enough to not think about it... but who either tells wonwoo not to Say It Out Loud either to protect himself or protect ww. or that jun can handle a certain level of relationship but knows past that it creates too much vulnerability. i love that wonwoo had his own desire to win but that he lost it because of junhui ;___; and that junhui knew wonwoo didn't have the nerve to win... "Not now. Let me go first." is a bit ambiguous but i like to think wonwoo means that he'd rather die first than watch junhui die...

this makes me so sad omg i'm glad you left it open ended. thank you for writing this is really incredible!!!
