Spoilers for sctir 815+

We all remember the iconic hjyj lines from chapter 102, right? The-

“Why are you staring at me like that?” “Because I think I’ll fall in love.” “You said you already fell.” “I could fall again.”

We struggle throughout the novel with Yoojin's insecurity of losing Hyunje's interest. Of his emotions towards Yoojin disappearing, that Han Yoojin will never be able to grab his attention once he's lost it.

Then, towards the end of the novel, as Sung Hyunje tries to approach his desired end, he buries his feelings for Han Yoojin. Makes sure to throw them away and avoid the desire to look forward to tomorrow.

However, Yoojin can't give up on him. How could he ever give up on someone he loves after all? It's just not his nature. So Yoojin chases after him, spars, argues and screams of how regardless of their past relationship, he wants Hyunje in his life simply because he does. That there is no desire for approval, no jealousy nor hatred.

Han Yoojin likes Sung Hyunje, that's all.

And Hyunje. Hyunje falls.

"...So, it did come back after all." "How could I resist falling for such a grand and splendid Han Yoojin?”

Sung Hyunje falls for Han Yoojin again.

Some of my fav hjyj scenes. Yea ik… I’m still as unemployed as ever 🙂‍↔️

It’s not easy tho. I mean… making these notes. It’s really not easy at all. Since I can’t just copy and paste text—that function is disabled by the translator—I’ve to write everything myself. Also, I’m having a hard time remembering ch numbers where specific scenes took place + my goldfish memory doesn’t help either T_T

If you guys remember any hjyj moments or other emotional scenes along with ch numbers. PRAY TELL!

#PEAK UNEMPLOYMENT 2.0

Some of my favorites:

Chapter 187

Sensing my gaze, he turned his eyes towards me and smiled silently.

That expression... how should I describe it? For the first time, Sung Hyunje looked human to me. Of course, he was still a distant figure, someone at the opposite end of the spectrum from me. Yet, right now, he felt... slightly different. A little new.

I found myself growing a bit curious. What kind of person is he, really? I knew plenty about his skills, his capabilities, his status as an S-rank Hunter, and as a Guild Leader. But beyond that? Almost nothing. Even after spending a couple of months frequently seeing him and building some semblance of a connection, I knew next to nothing about the ordinary aspects of his life. He must have had parents at some point. He must have had a childhood. Surely, he'd experienced at least one hardship in his life, even if it didn't seem to suite him.

"Don't smile, it might make me fond of you."

"Haven't you already grown quite fond of me?"

"Not in the slightest."

"I have, though."

Chapter 304

"I can't give you up, Han Yujin. I have no intention of letting go." - Sung Hyunje

Chapter 414

"Isn't it too much to use our child in a fight?" - Sung Hyunje

Chapter 469

[about Sung Hyunje]

STW: "Don't think about him too much."

HYJ: "You can not think about him?"

---

Either way, since the word partner carries weight, betrayal would be felt. "I'm not used to being hated" - Sung Hyunje

Hyuna: "If you don't want to be hated, just behave"

SHJ: "I could. But having him get mad at me will be fun too"

...

HYJ: "'Be selfish,' you said? That's basically 'do whatever I want,' isn't it. Since you told me to, I will. I don't care what you do."

Meeting his eyes head-on, Han Yujin spoke.

"I-damn it. I want Sung Hyunje to be the last one. Just live in this world. Pulling whatever self-indulgent, batshit stunts. I want that, and I'll make it happen. Whatever your scheme is - I don't care, it's what I want."

...

"I'm going to do as I want. You picked the fight first. So if you'll cooperate, cooperate; if not, get lost. Of course, if you vanish on your own, I'll find you somehow, grab you by the collar, and drag you back." One way or another. - Han Yujin

[this entire scene is so good T^T I wish I could've included more]

Chapter 470

Even if I lose everything again, if I go back again, I'll love everyone again. Even Sung Hyunje... - Han Yoojin

Chapter 471

Sung Hyunje is a bit--no, quite--annoying, hard to read, willful, and too perfect; honestly, I get jealous; I have plenty of complaints. Even so, he's one of my precious people. Like the others, I do like him. If he suddenly left, I'd be terribly lonely. - Han Yoojin

Chapter 474

... letting someone close, someone you care about, just be, is nearly impossible. Even if it's for them, well... in the end it's your own desire, too.

Chapter 481

After the banquet, Han Yujin confessed to her, but he seemed more concerned with Sung Hyunje than with her, so she had thought it might just pass.

Chapter 505

"So you wanted to hear Sung Hyunje call you Master too."

"No, that's--... Honestly, there are lots of people besides me who'd want to hear it." - Han Yujin

Chapter 508

"Both of you are so beautiful" - Sung Hyunje

Chapter 515

"Honestly, you must have been cute when you were little. Just looking a Gyeol shows that much." - Han Yujin

Chapter 518

"I shouldn't blame the victim, but I want to" -Han Yujin about SHJ

---

"Trying to take away one of only two valuable things from someone like me - isn't that too much?" - Sung Hyunje

Chapter 522

"If Han Yujin wishes it, I'll cleanly handle them anytime" - Sung Hyunje

Chapter 524

I took a sip of tea and looked at Sung Hyunje again. The weather was nice and the scenery was nice. - Han Yoojin

Chapter 525

"I'm reflecting on the fact that respecting others is more difficult than I thought." - Sung Hyunje

Chapter 527

Sung Hyunje turned his gaze to look at Han Yujin. It was quite an affectionate look. "Being asleep isn't bad either. But still, isn't the moving figure most beautiful?"

"Someone sew up Sung Hyunje's mouth. You just like it when you're having fun."

"Not at all. Though of course Han Yujin does make me happy."

Chapter 530

"I was in the middle of proposing to Director Han Yujin" - Sung Hyunje

Omfg I totally forgot I made this

Yoohyun's hostility towards Hyunjae is really funny to me, because while most people likely view it as being a result of Yoohyun being a jealous brocon (and that is definitely a big part of it don't get me wrong), another aspect of it is like, Yoojin and Hyunjae are insufferable about each other and they're constantly pulling their bullshit right in Yoohyun’s face. Imagine if you had to watch your older sibling flirt aggressively with the most annoying guy you know on a daily basis, and the worst part is your brother won't even admit he's doing it. Any reasonable younger sibling would be driven to homicide.

[wordfather]

not my circus not my monkeys but thanks to my mutuals i know some of the lore

[copperbadge]

Tumblr is the program guide to the circuses.

[rachellephant]

the most important thing to me ever is bi kids knowing that it’s ok to be 10% attracted to women and 90% attracted to men or 10% attracted to men and 90% attracted to women and still feeling ok to identify as bi, and still feeling like their identity is valid, and still feeling like they can lead fulfilling lives with both (or other) genders. like that’s just so fricking important.

[baital]

I’m a bi adult and you know what? I needed this. Thank you.

[alder-greatly-approves]

it’s also important to remember that it can be a fluid % like sometimes it’ll be 50/50 some times 10/90 and then drift into a 45/65 or even 2/98 and it’s still okay. It’s just where you are at that time in your life. 

[poly-wrath]

That shift is called the bicycle

[odeada-nightspawn]

It’s also important for them to know that bisexuality is not binary & never has been. You can be attracted to any gender, & still be bisexual. You can be attracted to someone regardless of their gender & still be bisexual. Oh & being bisexual isn’t about who you date. It’s about who/what you’re attracted to.

[gatesofminrathous]

there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.

short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.

meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.

Love that Ryland Grace is the opposite of so many male protagonist "heroes" in media and yet he's still so incredibly brave, resilient, and strong. That flimsy little science teacher saves the day.

But he also,

Throws fits when things don't go his way. Not a "I'm a bad bitch" destroying everything-type fit, but tossing a trash can, breaking a screen-type fit.

Cries. A lot.

Pleads. He begs.

Doesn't answer the call to action.

Shows weakness. Being a coward and being fearful are two things he defines himself with.

Doesn't end up with the girl. In fact, that girl isn't even interested and he isn't, either.

Cherishes friendship over a romantic plot or something stereotypically brave like, "I'm going to save Rocky so I can save his world." No, he wants to save his friend, first and foremost.

Squeaks. He squeals. He screams, loudly and very high pitched. He whines. He complains. He physically struggles to open a jar. He's clumsy as hell. He makes some of the least graceful noises one can make.

Is not afraid to be the primitive species lowkey.

I love him and everything he stands for as a male protagonist. Men need to know that they can be just like Ryland Grace and still be just as much of a hero and a man.

I feel bad for people who’ve never experienced a corn maze bc it’s not even fun but you just have to do it

[tsunflowers]

I'd like to reblog this with some tags and comments bc I've really appreciated reading them

people who get what I mean:

people who have found a way to have fun in the corn maze but who I'm a little worried about:

person who we are going to put in the corn:

[podcastwizard]

you don’t realize how important lunch is until you’re wandering around thinking about how unloveable and untalented and uniquely cursed you are and then it’s 4pm and you finally eat lunch and you go Oh. oh right.

[podcastwizard]

lot of people commenting on this post like "who eats lunch at 4pm that's a terrible time to eat lunch" yes. that is the point. 4pm lunch is inadvisable. 4pm lunch is not the ideal. 4pm lunch makes the mind demons real.

[little-mouse-dennis]

Everyone is always just slightly concerned for Dennis, but when they meet the other Whitaker brothers, they realize they’re all just kinda like that

They all look like they’ve seen the horrors and have deep eye bags

That in itself is slightly concerning, but they can't really say anything about it if it's a genetic trait

[wingkink]

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

[garpen]

"you already left kudos here"

And??? Let me like it again??? Clearly it deserves more??

[caleshairtie]

We all know Choi Han has canonically 2 completely incompatible modes:

The horrifying emo, dragon slaying calamity swordsman

The emotionally attached rescue puppy with the saddest big eyes

He can switch between them in a flash, giving a lot of people psychological whiplash around him.

The first people to notice that were Ron and Beacrox too, I think. In canon.

My headcanon is that the first time he did it in front of others, like soldiers or others, it started a rumour amongst them. Like a ghost story of the scary swordsman smiling brightly at Young Master Silver Shield.

Most people didn't believe it… until it happened again.

And that started two new rumours/perspectives about Cale:

"Young Master-nim is such a caring person that even Swordmaster-nim softens in his presence!"

"What kind of terrifying person commands THIS fcking monster?!"

And then there's Alberu, who looks at the two with disdain and knows that Choi Han would commit regicide if Cale asked politely enough.

Though, it is not like Cale doesn't know Choi Han's violent side. He does, of course. But for him, the violence is contextual and Choi Han is still loyal and good at his core, which he is not wrong about.

…he just has an obvious bias towards his fav protagonist, but anyway--
