#sclasshunters yj grousing that if hj is in a relationship with a younger person it should be someone in their thirties THAT'S YOU, YOU MORON!!!!!!!!!!
then obsessing over the fact taht "he must have been in a relationship" HE IS, YOU MORON!!!!!! HE BUSINESS MARRIED YOU TWICE
#sclasshunters hyunjae's proposal vows are insane by the way, forgive "in sickness and in health" his are basically "i will make you a god unto the rest of the world and in return all i ask is that you come back to me"
#sclasshunters not yoojin hitting hyunjae with "i wish you met me as a kid" and hyunjae just ROLLING WITH IT and apologizing?!?!?! AND YOOJIN ENDING IT BY ASKING HYUNJAE TO NEVER CHANGE? LIKE HE'S ASKING HYUNJAE TO WAIT FOR HIM???? i'm losing my shit
#sclasshunters i feel like i've been flashbanged with this scene i don't know how to move on.... hyunjae proposes marriage and basically giving yoojin all the support he needs to get over his trauma, and yoojin has to refuse him, but not before first asking hyunjae "why didn't you ask me sooner"
#sclasshunters I THINK HYUNJAE JUST PROPOSED MARRIAGE????? BUT THE STORY TWISTS IT AND TURNS IT SO WE'RE STILL IN THE RIGHT GENRE??? BUT THE MAN GETS DOWN ON HIS KNEES AND PROMISES TO TAKE CARE OF YOOJIN???? HOW ELSE ARE WE SUPPOSED TO READ THIS SCENE
#sclasshunters not yoojin immediately going on a depressive funk mid-conversation bc he thinks hyunjae is done being his partner... the way he just starts spiraling and spiraling and doesn't even give hyunjae an option to explain himself... which is just as well BC WHTA THE FUCK
#sclasshunters THE AWKWARDNESS OF THE JAPAN TRIP ARC IS KILLING ME... ARE HYUNJAE AND YOOJIN JUST GOING TO ROLEPLAY DIVORCED EXES THE WHOLE TIME.... at least talk to each other
#sclasshunters i love that yoojin goes off on a whole monologue in his head about realizing how attractive his own skill is and it ends with "yoohyun it's not too late to take the college entrance exams" LMAO
#sclasshunters not yoojin seeing off one complicated ex (song taewon) only to jet off to japan with another complicated ex (sung hyunjae).... it's hard being a single dad
#sclasshunters hyunjae is a perfect man and way too sensitive but also he can sense his natural enemy (myth rank brocon)
#sclasshunters like hyunjae comparing this to rot that you just keep painting over which will one day hollow him out is so good.... no matter how beautiful that paint is (and hyunjae in his timeline is one layer of paint) it can't fix what's at the heart AND WHAT'S AT THE HEART IS... BROCON
#sclasshunters i love that this story addresses yoojin's trauma head on and that he hasn't recovered from anything just because he's regressed, like fear of losing his brother and being spat on/hated still animates so much of what he does and competency is not a substitute for healing
#sclasshunters "you guys were getting along so well that we got lonely so i'm hugging yoojin" oh my goddddd and just after you basically needled him so hard yoohyun had to step him and tell you to back off.... hyunjae you... you're unbelievable
#sclasshunters just reached the scene where hyunjae gives yoojin a huge hug so that he can hide yoojin's troubled face from yoohyun and yerim and i've ascended
#sclasshunters when the brocon is the least twisted relationship possibility lol
#sclasshunters starting a new thread as we hit chapter 200 lol i can't believe i've read so much of this novel now.... truly hitting me where it hurts (very complicated tortured pseudo-romantic relationships)
#sclasshunters bro... you should have let hyunjae take care of you... can you relax for one (1) second
#sclasshunters wow song taewon may be the most self-hating twisted up character i've met in a long time.... he's like kiku from rakugo shinjuu level of "needs therapy"
#sclasshunters HOW MANY SCRAPES HAS YOOJIN GOTTEN HIMSELF OUT OF BY ASKING HYUNJAE TO PRETEND TO TREAT HIM POORLY LOL
#sclasshunters all this ending in yoojin fleecing a japanese guild by asking hyunjae to roleplay the domineering alpha s-class guy... wow...
#sclasshunters hyunjae giving yoojin a hand's on etiquette class while they're talking business... making yoojin look him in the eye while they're both facing a mirror... what bl manga was geunseo reading
#sclasshunters ALL THIS AFTER YOOJIN TOLD HIM HE WAS FALLING FOR HIM AND BOUGHT HIM A SLICE OF CONVENIENCE STORE CAKE FOR HIS BIRTHDAY
#sclasshunters and it would be easy and efficient for both of them but yj realizes he has to balance other people in his life too and being hj's item would put that in jeopardy... and hj has to bear the brunt of it.... THO IN THE END IT'S BETTER FOR THEIR RELATIONSHIP TOO....
#sclasshunters i've always been obsessed with characters who telegraph weakness as their strength and yj is the epitome of that, only now he has to crawl out of the comfortable place of being a possession and it's like... this sadness knowing that they could have been owner/item roleplay forever
#sclasshunters oh this hotel meeting with hj standing behind yj (while seated) and touching his neck and then yj leaning back so he can meet hj's eyes while he refuses to ever be leashed again... this is my id vortex and i'm loving it
#sclasshunters the way they've both changed each other so much in such a short period of time and it's created these grooves in yoojin's mind the same way his relationship with yoohyun has... and he has to relearn how to be himself again.... the complicated feelings... i am Eating
#sclasshunters i'm really suffering here... it's literally like they're divorced and yoojin is trying to figure out how to live alone
#sclasshunters also myeongwoo is.. uh... hey does anyone else ship this LMAO
#sclasshunters i'm actually so antsy about this like WILL THIS RUIN THEIR MARRIAGE.... i know they're going to be on a more even footing now but i'll miss hyunjae casually putting his chin on yoojin's shoulder... treating him so cavalierly bc he's not a real person to hyunjae... the tradeoff
