it’s the way yn has truly begun to let go of thinking about hoon from the past because we no longer get those lingering memories as often. the memory tied to the song, for instance she immediately turns it down because at that moment she feels hopeless of ever getting THAT hoon back. i think after tokyo gate everything shifted erm i have this theory that she might even be starting to fall for cruel hoon too LOLLLL not in a pathetic way but like. bc she genuinely cant not love him. she pushes away his softness instinctively and is always in denial, but idk she is incredibly perceptive and smart shes def picked up on his intentions by now. she just copes poorly. every time he shows softness she hesitates for a heartbeat n questions it, and then almost instantly distracts herself. when she physically stops him like during the kiss and stuff, i feel like she is really stopping herself and trying to maintain control over her own vulnerability. imo the cigarette metaphor doesn’t represent the sex with sunghoon but it represents him YKWIM like himmmmmm. this current version of him....... your writing is so layered summer dearest......... it always forces me to think deeper especially knowing that everything you do is intentional. it’s fascinating to unpack and i feel like every detail opens a new lens to understand both yn and hoon more intimately. i love u. never stop writing
you guys spoil me rotten with your brains and your love like genuinely i could combust… come here let me squish you all up and give you a thousand kisses!!! thank you so so much for reading and analyzing it with such care and detail 😭🤚🏼 you have no idea how much it means to me every single time 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
as always when it comes to theories i zip my lips shut cus its more fun that way…. but penny for your thoughts…. (i can never actually fully keep em shut…) (damn.) your take is so beautifully written and so thoughtful,,,,, y/n is honestly so intentional as a character and i really try to let the story flow through her emotions and lived moments instead of spelling everything out !!! i absolutely adore seeing the story and characters through your lens.
