exactly!! cyzj unveiled jun's true form. At his most comfortable, he is the most brat-like but in a surprisingly intellectual way (the variety of pick up lines?? the speed of delivery??), and it gave us the 8jun bicker-banter monster-handler dynamic that we rarely see when they are in korea/among seventeen/ (But 2018 Minghao feels lofty, in an experimental and performative way. Like he was finding his skin, but different essay for different day!)
now you are making me think of the episode when [redacted] left and jun went up to hold minghao's hand while it all went down even as Minghao said "don't worry I'm fine, I respect his decision but what do we do now?" -- honestly felt like Minghao was on the verge of tears then and he was being tough to push it down and jun can read that, he knows.
minghao being a very head over heart person and having just as big of a heart especially when it comes to loyalty, and jun preferring to go with the flow and take things as it happens, being the social butterfly that he is. -- yeah yeah yeah!! completely agree, and I've actually never thought of that one point, of Minghao being head>heart but unavoidably a heart person too ;___; the conflict will be delicious to write, I must jot this down and come back to it...
thank you for coming back to that point about conservative society -- I can't call myself a lover of blatant angst, but I find myself loving idolverse angst and I think it's because it makes the story feel real. By grounding it in facts, the story becomes more raw, closer to them. It's strange to admit bc it's all fanfiction but, it becomes closer to the heart? Like I could reflect it onto myself and the tough choices I had to make. Would love to pick your brain about Yanan as well! and how his characterisation/persona fits into JunHao <3
