You know the Yeonsol withdrawal is bad when I can no longer read smut from the other fandoms I'm in without automatically slotting in Yeonwoo and Haesol instead.

Reading a omegaverse smut fic and all I can think of is deranged thoughts of Alpha Haesol and Omega Yeonwoo engaging in absolute sin.

FML!!!

In all seriousness though I love how you can see the progression of her care turned love for him it's just so good. the fact that she bought him flowers before this is just a so uugghh (words are not enough to convey my love for them)

Haesol's Feeling on Yeonwoo

Heads up to anyone who's going to read this this is a very long post. ❤️

All right I was thinking about this for a while. And yesterday's discussion on whether Haesol really likes Yeonwoo really stirred up this topic more for me. Yesterday after the thread on Yeonwoo and Haesol having not kissed yet came up there was a topic in the comments about whether she really even liked him.

And for me I understand that she does like him but I needed to find a way to explain it. So I thought about it all day. (As you can tell I am very obsessed with this manhwa)

Here's a conclusion I came up with.

Haesol before Yeonwoo confesses to her pays attention to him. I mean that as in she actively tries to understand him better. In the beginning she thinks that he doesn't like her considering his jittery and nervous personality. This draws her attention considering how normally people will flock to her. Giving her more initiative to try to build a relationship with him.

This starting point in their relationship is out of pure curiosity and the more time she spends with him she understands that Yeonwoo is a kind, loyal and selfless person. She also knows that he's a good judge of character. So her liking him is not out of left field. In her eyes she has only seen good come from him. Whereas Yeonwoo who has only negative things to say about himself she only has positive things that she can say about him. Don't get me wrong though she can still see his flaws but in her eyes his positives outweighs negatives.

The more time she spends with him the more she is drawn to him. Yeonwoo has a naturally nurturing personality and for someone who hasn't had someone like that she is automatically drawn to him. When he helps Nari dispite them not knowing each other that well with her bullying incident. That makes her trust him more.

Haesol see this and the more she watches him and interacts with him she realizes that he is a genuinely good and caring person. Caring in a way that she has never experienced before. This is all in the beginning of their relationship by the way before he confesses to her.

When he confesses to her she knows all of this she sees all of this and the fact that he is a good friend of hers kind of puts her off because in the past friends have confessed her. but she realizes that his confession is different in the fact that he just wants to have her know what he feels for her he does not expect them to go out. When she realizes this she says well why not and just goes for it because as I said before she is drawn to him.

Giving her home life. someone like yeonwoo is exactly what she needs so it's very believable that she falls for him. And as the chapters go on it is quite obvious if you look at her character that she does like him. The way she talks to him and interacts with him you can tell that she cares about him. And the beach episode where she tells him I want to help you because even though she does see more positive than negative in him. She knows that he does not think of himself that way so she wants to help him see himself the way she sees him. She does genuinely care for him and wants to take care of him.

When analyzing a character like Haesol you have to look at her actions and not her face because if you look at her face you are not going to see any semblance of emotion given how emotionally numb she is. So I feel like that is why some people say that she doesn't like him because they don't look at her actions they look at her face. Also given the fact that in the beginning of their relationship she was very standoffish. However I like to say that she was nervous because let's remember she has never had a boyfriend before. So to her she is nervous but to us as the audience she seems standoffish and distant from yeonwoo. If we go by her actions she likes him. The fact that she is willing to have him be so close and that she initiates contact with him when she doesn't do that with someone like Jinwoo who she has known longer than Yeonwoo that speaks for itself.

I just wanted to get my opinion out there because there seems to be a lot of people who don't understand her character and who thinks that she doesn't like Yeonwoo. when in my eyes from the very beginning she did have an interest towards him and the longer they spent time together the more her image of him changed from someone who she thought of as a friend to someone who she thinks of as a lover.

Also let us remember this is a slow burn so the relationship is going to develop in a realistic way. Plus they're teenagers and they're going to be awkward.

A rant of my thoughts just because I was reading shoujo and couldn't stop thinking of the parallels

As I read other shoujo's, I can't help but compare them to Yeonwoo's Innocence (because I'm obsessed) and the thought that Yeonwoo is like every shoujo protag but he's just a guy always pops up.

That specific detail is what I find either makes people love him or hate him. The same thing goes for Haesol she is very similar to many of the strong but silent archetypes in Shoujo the only difference is that she's a girl, and that aspect is also something that either makes people love her or hate her+

The idea that you can just keep the two tropes the same but all you do is change the gender of the leads and you get such a vastly different reaction is so interesting. (and honestly infuriating)

Whenever I read shoujo manga the cute shy guy x cool strong girl relationship is always to be taken as a gag it's never taken seriously. And I'm not talking about shy as in introverted shy but eventually gets over I'm talking about shy as in submissive shy.

It honestly gets me annoyed because people say they want more relationships like what Yeonwoo and Haesol have portrayed in the media but complain when they get exactly that.

Which is also another reason why I love Yeonwoo's Innocence so much because it takes the trope seriously and actually showed what would happen if the silent one was the girl and the shy one was the guy. It's like a breath of fresh air. And I love it for that.

I've been starved for so long for content just like this so it's no wonder I'm utterly obsessed with them.

The trope is taken seriously and it actually makes you think about why those characters are the way they are and I find it super interesting for that alone.

In all honesty this goes back to media literacy. The fact that so many people misinterpret both of the main leads characters and what they are supposed to represent genuinely infuriates me. It also makes me realize that the fandom is not going to be that big simply because of the fact that people don't want to understand the main leads and why they are the way they are.

Still doesn't mean I won't try though. I'll be writing fanfiction for them for as long as I can simply because I'm obsessed and my hyper fixation knows no bounds when it comes to these two.

Only Yeonwoo's innocence can pull off the mutual pining while they are DATING and do it well cuz... HUHU???
