Examples
Minghao + Ocean Vuong
The most beautiful part of your body
is where it's headed. & remember,
loneliness is still time spent
with the world.
Ocean Vuong - night sky with exit wounds
Hoshi/Anyone; "Beauty is terror"
Thinking about these two quotes together and the idea of on/off-stage personas:
"Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful we tremble before it. And what could be more terrifying or beautiful, to the Greeks to to our own, than to lose control completely?" - Donna Tartt, the Secret Histories
"I am calm in everyday life but when I put on my in-ear device and step on stage, I can feel the tension and hear the cheers getting louder as the music gets louder. When the staff tells me it's time to step on stage, I feel something boil inside me. I feel it steaming inside and I think I have to give a burst of something, spill what is inside me." - Hoshi in Hit the Road Ep. 04
Any ship; "It's been so many years"
Hello, hello there, is this Martha?
This is old Tom Frost
And I am calling long distance
Don't worry 'bout the cost.
'Cause it's been forty years or more
Now Martha please recall
Meet me out for coffee
Where we'll talk about it all.
Tom Watts - Martha

Re: [FILL] 겨우 (barely)
this whole thing is absolutely cinematic and it almost feels like im in a movie, or in some sort of dream. i loved the little tidbits/lines that you put in there that give us a sense of + characterize wonhan: ie. he doesn’t know why he had called wonwoo in the first place. he should have taken the bus home, ordered some chinese food and slept the day off. like it was any other day. / ...wonwoo meets his eyes through the rear view mirror for a brief moment, asking why without asking , the other little tidbits about their order preferences - which absolutely killed me btw, i am a huge advocate of love being stored in food/knowing how someone likes their food). it gives this delicious sense of reluctance, like i care for you but it kind of kills me to admit it because i'm not really sure where you stand on the matter PLUS our shared history makes me scared of being committed to being hurt again. like a, i've been down this road before, and what has it gotten me? ITS SO GOOD.
and jeonghan's being horrible on purpose as a defense mechanism to see who's really here to stay plus wonwoo's always thinking/never doing dilemma to get thrown out the window when jeonghan (object of his affection) is in danger i'm clenching my fists.... (
at some point, jeonghan holds back his tears because wonwoo is supposed to be the smart one between them, he shouldn’t have jumped into the water because something worse could have happened, he should have known that it was a prank—
“since when were you this gullible?” jeonghan turns to him, glaring, “even if i was really drowning, you can't jump into the water like that. this isn't a movie, wonwoo.”)
the ending line about going to watch the sea + still having the ambiguity of a nonanswer is like. so them. thank u. thank u so much
