Can I talk about just how much this panel means to me real quick because omg it means so much
The fact that they chose to put Han sooyoung by his side first makes so much sense narratively for two main reasons. She’s the person most like Kim dokja, as well as the first to help him.
And when I say first to help him help him I’m not talking about during the scenarios, but well before. (Here’s where I’m getting into end of book spoilers so proceed with caution).Im talking about when she found him in the hospital. He had no one at the time and she knew that. So she chose to be the first person by his side. Even if he never met or saw her, in fact you could argue Yoo Joonghyuk was more by his side than Han Sooyoung. Regardless she was the first person who chose to save him. The writing happened before the story in this case and she chose for Kim dokja when he was all alone.
She did that for the same reason Kim dokja trusted her enough to strike first in the 10th scenario. They know each other the best. While Yoo Joonghyuk were black, they both wear white, while Yoo Joonghyuk understands Kim dokja and follows beside him Han Sooyoung actively plans with Kim dokja or against him (1863 come back I miss you). The reason Kim dokja leaves Kimcom so often is because he has Han sooyoung to trust and lead in his place. There are many point in the book were they are separated yet act on the same undiscussed plan because they understand each other the best. Their roles both take place outside the story unlike Yoo Joonghyuk and many of the other characters, so they see each other the best. It may not be the same role but they are always there for each other first and always trust in the other person first.
Specifically during the climax when hsy figured out Kdj’s plan like I said without discussing it because she and him think the same (yjh figured it out first but for different reasons ish(let me have this))
