GYUHAN FOR MEEEEE???? okay!!! OKAY!! WHERE DO I BEGIN WITH THIS PIECE... first of all the mythology allusions are stunning and the way you draw it out, drop hints, and then casually slip the reveal in at the end... SHIVERS. it's so good and haunting and has that eerie feeling of myth, not knowing what's real and what's been smoothed over by repeated tellings. and using that to draw out everything that is gorgeous and horrible about gyuhan, mingyu's obsession and WORSHIP, jeonghan's sweetly doled out affection that is callous in the impact it has - so much like the relationship between god and mortal in the greek myths auughghghg
and your prose!! I could scream about every line but some that truly gave me goosebumps:
- At this point, Mingyu does not yet know his name. He soon will, though, and it will be the only name his mouth will ever worship. HELLO??!?!?!?!? OH MY GOD
- When he smiles, Mingyu feels weightless. HOW CAN YOU DO THIS TO ME
- Kim Mingyu wakes up in love with Yoon Jeonghan. full. body. shiver.
- Mingyu’s eyes sliver open to see the crescent moon charm, dangling from the altar of Jeonghan’s throat, swaying in front of his face. This moment is so evocative and cinematic I can SEE it, I can see the crescent moon charm, and also "altar of Jeonghan's throat" are you INSANE how can you just say WORDS LIKE THESE
and then the last line, circling back to the opening...... LITERALLY I HAVE GOOSEBUMPS this is beautiful thank you for this gift!!!!!!
