hahahah..! today's crumbs are from the time of lpe and jh's cohabitation days (for real), it's pretty yummy albeit very crumbly. but most of all. there's definitely something remarkable to be said about lpe and jh's mbti test results of each other's I-E indicators being the opposite to what they've tested of themselves (the one that aligns with their popular public image too)... ie. jh is an introvert in lpe's eyes and lpe is an extrovert in jh's eyes. does it need more elaboration?? how you see yourself, how you portray yourself in a general social setting at large vs how you appear to be in more private moments when everyone else isn't watching. it has always been about being the special exception to each other.
more pedantics about this part that i really adore: jh relating more to introversion outside of the test despite being overtly thee extrovert of the group consistently working the room in professional work contexts and even identified as an extrovert by his own test, but it was lpe and his own understanding of jh that managed to reaffirm that sentiment + lpe's complete confidence in being perceived as an extrovert by jh which was also reaffirmed by jh, despite being outwardly seen as the introvert
all this feeds into my reading from the group variety show that the progression of their relationship is a matter of refinement. as they personally recounted, they hit off from day 1, and true enough, they already have an insight into the type of person each other are away from the camera over a year ago. but even with that access to their most comfortable states with each other, the way they interacted before the camera had a whiff of playful attempts to one up each other (ε―Ήζθ·― as the fandom puts it). and for whatever reasons, the dynamics have definitely grown to feel softer, less rough around the edges a year later when the drama aired... it's very fascinating to see. (i like to justify it this way: a year ago it was just between us, made to live together vs a year later it was us against the world, and even when we no longer have to live tgt, we made the choice over and over to interweave our personal lives tgt even outside work requirements eg. weekly gaming sessions, lpe hopping over to feed lele when jh is out of town)
lpe basically: he's an introvert with me..? is it that you just prefer being around someone else instead π€¨ IS THERE SOMEONE ELSE... π€¨ jh, comfortably Not Talking, with lpe being the one yapping around him: β
