Yes, Sorn is waiting for them to go so he can fuck Jun but he's also watching their easy affection with an expression that speaks of want in a completely different way.

I’m finding it really fun that both couples from My Stubborn so far are dealing with different ways people experience not-so-unrequited love.

Tai and Champ are so in love they practically finish each other’s sentences. They tell each other everything and Champ even waits for Tai to be done in the shower despite the fact that Tai intentionally turned it to be facing the shower. Champ never even seems to consider hanging up and calling back later. They are making out on the couch while watching a movie but they don’t talk about their feelings. I think Champ at least seems convinced that the second he does, it’s all over and everything will fall apart. Tai seems done with the waiting game but it definitely looks like an uphill battle to get Champ on the same page.

Jun is just waking up to his feelings for Sorn. He already knows he’s so fucked. He can’t tell Sorn about his feelings and risk Sorn freaking out and ending what it is they’re doing but he also doesn’t seem like the type who can really hide how he feels and just pretend he isn’t feeling it.

And Sorn well, he’s a complete dumbass. He’s so far removed from his feelings that he doesn’t even seem aware he has them. That he’s behaving like a jealous and clingy boyfriend already. It doesn’t even feel malicious or calculating on his side. It literally feels (at least to me) that he doesn’t know himself as well he thinks he does. If the holding pattern for this type of couple trope is followed, then Sorn isn’t going to realize his feelings until either he or Jun fuck up so badly that he starts freaking out about losing Jun and why that matters to him.

Anyway no real point to prove in this post, just my thoughts. I finally started My Stubborn just in time for it to get good. I love it here. I love this type of trope, especially in the two fonts these couples are in. The love is requited, they’re all just idiots.

The most tender hand kisses.

How to check for a fever with the most specific kind of vibe.

The saga of Tai's tie and the little love that Champ shows as they dance around each other in love and in silence and in a relationship that they've balance on the head of a pin. Kindness meets tenderness but also quiet and devotion meets patience and they have each other and yet they don't because each is afraid that a push will destroy what they've built, this precarious relationship that needs words but fears them all the same for they could so easily lose each other when all they need is each other. (They're just as dumb as Sorn and Jun it's just a different font.)

He is such a cutie and these two are adorable despite everything.

These two men are the perfect reflection of Sorn and Jun. They're doing the same thing they are but with the full knowledge that each of them are in love individually... but with a very different fear of what that love means and what could happen if they tried to get together. And I think Champ is the one struggling with it, not so much Tai while Sorn is the one in deep denial while I suspect Jun would be much more open to the idea of feelings between them.

Tai, my dude, you're just as bad as Sorn! How dare you criticize him for not telling Jun how he felt when you stay silent after that. Come on, loser.
