;; tysm pammie!! something about quiet acceptance really encapsulates the jicheol dynamic for me, like they clearly hold so much deep-rooted affection for each other but the way it's internalized and expressed can be so different?? honestly the cab scene got me too as i was writing it bc some members are super obviously touchy/vocal about their affection and jicheol is just ?? not like that ?? maybe saying "i love you" just cuts too deep...,..,.,... the part about seungcheol being in a relationship with someone else came to me early on and i'm glad you liked it! the gentle ache... that's definitely how i feel about it.
