I can’t help but think back to this chapter and Hak’s expression here:
He’s shocked and then serious… It really makes me wonder if Hak misreads how… Comfortable Yona is around Jae-ha? I mean similar how he reacts here
And putting together what he said here:
“Her HEART seems stable” Does that mean he thinks she’s over Soo-won (Due to giving away the hairpin) and has fallen for someone else? Or at least crushing? And that he’s been reading her skittish behavior wrong all this time that she likes Jae-ha? I actually thought with the hug scene it was going to turn into that, with Yona eventually being the one to tell Hak that she loves him and that how could he get things so wrong XD
It would further explain this:
As in “Don’t worry about me, don’t let my feelings confuse you and who you want to be with“ Which is just Hak thinking about her and not his own feelings first, again he just wants her to be happy like when she was in love with Soo-won, and he was the person that caught onto the fact that she loved Soo-won back then, so I really do think he should catch on with all that blushing that she is crushing on SOMEONE, just not realize it’s him.
And for those that would argue he’d just try to keep her away from Jae-ha, yeah I kind of agree with that, but you do need to factor in THIS scene:
That look in Hak’s eyes is kind telling as in both ‘Yeah I know’ and realizing the pervert is different with Yona. Almost like a brother sizing up his sister’s boyfriend XD
I am probably analyzing this WAY too much, but really I feel like that’s what Hak was doing and Yona confused the hell out of him by that kiss, but then backed out of it and called it a ‘greeting’ so that he’s back to his old suspicion and really doesn’t expect Yona to return his feelings still even after all of this. It makes me want Hak and Jae-ha to have a talk about this with our lovely Green Dragon spelling it out to our Thunder Beast that Yona is in love with him and grumble how can two people so much in love be so blind to each other XD Thoughts anyone?
