TT______TT honestly i cant imagine a better remix concept for this fic... you drew so much out of coups' limited presence. i used him as a tool and you gave him LIFE. the guilt i feel is palpable.
Jihoon waits on an answer because he knows Seungcheol like a limb, still, and at the end of the day, someone has to. omg. i actually love so much how this remix is set up, you don't have to give any context because like jihoon and coups both know everything without having to say it, the reader knows it all too (if they read the og aklsjdlkd). and everything is a setup for those killer last few lines. i'm like trying to comment about this chronologically but
Jihoon knows him better than anyone else and Seungcheol would give him all his truths but how can he hope to ever share this shameful need inside him to be wanted, to be at the centre of something—even if it is a story designed to ruin him? THIS... this is the heart of coups for real. to me coups is truly just some guy who wants to be loved, deeply. and this is not something i ever said (or consciously thought about while writing) in imitation so i love that you've given him this much depth. it makes me so sad. i love how you said it. and i love that you used jicheol as the mechanism because the trust and history between them is unlike any other. (tinhat voice) i know that coups these days values his r/s with yjh and the support he gets from him above everyone else but that's also why this works soooo well. because of his intense love not working out to the point where he feels like his only option is to -
“Is it really so hard to believe that I’m hoping this hurts him, too?” this circle of hurting is sooooo much. the thing is that you could easily say that the three of them were all doomed to end up unhappy because this is so unhealthy but you’re not really trying to play martyr for someone else’s future relationship—for your ex’s, no less man... it like. really hits worse if jihoon frames it as a step iny took to get to an eventual inyyjh endgame LMAO. coups i feel so sorry for you for real.
pb thank you so much for remixing this it was such a treat, and gave me so much to think about, and reflect back on my own fic too <3
