Finally getting to unmask after a long day using your customer service voice

His cutesy persona doesn't draw me in, but this? My soul would be GONE

[n30nd3m0n]

So can we talk about how Romance is the first to charge into battle or??

Also when/why did Abby open his sochangui? Is there a missing scene where Mira cut it open? Or did his muscles burst it? Either way, I would have liked to see it...

Zoeyyyy 🥰🥰

Okay, so I was making a compilation of shots where we almost catch a glimpse of Mystery's eyes, because I love a good tease, and I just happened to catch this shot

I've seen it before, but I thought it had been edited because the footage was kinda fuzzy. But no, I'm 100% that's an eye

I turned up the brightness and contrast just to be sure it wasn't a shadow or that I was just seeing what I wanted to see

Just look at hiiiim 🥰🥰

I wish the Saja Boys had more outfits... Or just Abby wearing increasingly slutty crop tops. For the plot

[n30nd3m0n]

These pictures are the same to me

Documenting every physical interaction between the Saja Boys because I'm unwell about them

-

Abby leans an arm on Jinu’s shoulder whilst flexing. Baby also leans on Jinu, his arms crossed and face partially hidden, to add to that cuteness factor

They switch positions, but Abby doesn’t break contact with Jinu, fully draping his arm around him. Baby holds onto Jinu’s arm with both arms, cuddling it. Abby’s touch lingers on Jinu as they spin into their next positions

In their farewell, Baby leans on Mystery’s shoulder, while Abby leans on Romance's shoulder

During the game show, Baby places a hand on Romance's shoulder

PLAY GAMES WITH UUUUUSSS! Ahem, sorry. Mystery leans an arm on Romance. The boys' positioning will be repeated in the bathhouse scene later

Abby giving Baby a piggyback is so damn cute, and it's for literally no reason. Pretty much every other interaction between the boys seen thus far has been in front of fans and, therefore, potentially staged. What fan is going to see them running off set like that? You cannot convince me they're not goofy goobers

In the bathhouse, the boys are posed ready. Abby is once again leaning an arm on Jinu, while Mystery leans on Romance

When Jinu kneels down, Abby slides his arm off and poses similarly to how he did during the game show. Mystery remains leaning on Romance, but their positioning shifts slightly. I'm not counting this as a separate interaction, but I wanted to mention it nonetheless

During the idol award show, Abby has an arm wrapped around Baby's shoulders. Kinda thought Romance might have his hand on Jinu's shoulder, but I don't think he does

On an advertisement board, Baby leans on Jinu, while Abby has his arm wrapped around Mystery

During their fan club announcement, both Abby and Baby lean on Jinu. Baby also has his arm wrapped around Romance

Post Huntr/x breakup, while the boys are expressing false sympathy, Baby has a hand on Romance's shoulder. This action matches what was seen during the game show

Before the boys run off into battle, Abby places a hand on Jinu's shoulder, dragging it down his chest before taking off running

As Mystery runs to follow the others, he shoulder-checks Jinu. Hardly an affectionate act, but it counts as physical touch

I made a stats chart of who touches who, but I kinda don't want to make people look at maths if they just wanna look at the boys

Bonus Round!! For Zoeystery and Miromabby

Baby bonus, because he's the only one aside from Jinu who puts hands on Huntr/x

You know what I find interesting, is upon digging into Korean folklore out of interest, these are the same thing. They're called Jeoseung Saja (Hence Saja Boys). They're the Korean idea of the grim reaper, they purely collect souls and take them to the afterlife. They don't kill or hurt to do this. They just take when a person's time is up. Jeoseung Saja were human once too, they become a Grim Reaper after death. It's all very fascinating stuff.

So calling the Saja Boys demons, even if it purely a translation thing, isn't really correct. They're just another form of spirit.

Of course Koreans know this lol, I just wanted to share this somewhere because my autistic and ADHD addled brain just found this really interesting.

[n30nd3m0n]

Just to add onto your point, Saja is also a Korean name that means lion, hence why they have a lion as their logo and their fans "join the pride" 🦁

Most people are going to think "lion boys" before "reaper boys", at least until "Your Idol" dropped. Just another sneaky way for them to hide in plain sight 👀

I feel like in folklore, demons and spirits tend to have a lot of crossover. Maybe they didn't trust Western audiences to understand the nuances, so they labelled the Saja Boys as demons just to bridge the gap, or make them more interesting as villains?
