anytime i see someone bash begins youth for its portrayal of hyyh yoonkook i sigh so hard "they made it homophobic" "they cut their queer coding" etcetc no they fucking didn't id argue that b≠y portrays their dynamic a lottt closer to canon than fanon hyyh yoonkok in 90% of posts about them

jeha is the most hyyh jungkook to ever hyyh jungkook i truly believe he is the most accurately written member of the cast aside from maybe hwan (they are all written incredibly well though) his obsessive girlfriend schtick with cein is both so reminiscent of the themes of hyyh yoonkook and perfectly adjusted to make the focus of their relationship on their school years instead year 22

cein is definitely one of the portrayals i noticed as being slightly different to canon but that honestly does make sense as the circumstances of his backstory has been changed and characterisation will reflect that, the brick scene replacing the hideout confrontation makes perfect sense for me in that regard- it takes place in the literal ruins of Eunjoos legacy where he does exactly whats been expected of him, follow her footsteps in being easily angered and violent. we've already seen his fire against authority so many times that it isnt imperative that its on school grounds against a teacher, instead they have it be hurting jeha in an attempt to save him- something which is a core fear at the centre of their relationship dynamic

by year 22, hyyh yoongi is abrasive and bunt because he fears the people around him will get dragged down with him and he truly cares about the others- especially jungkook who he views as someone too young for him to hurt futher, not as the innocent as the others view him as but moreso that hes young enough to turn his life around where they cant

hyyh jungkook sees yoongi as one of the only people who understands that hes hurting, that he isnt JUST the innocent kid, he latches onto yoongi and says i want to be hurt because then maybe everyone else will understand what you already do- its both a casual cry for help like the ones we already see him doing constantly AND a need to have someone genuinely by his side who wont abandon him

the changes made to yoonkooks narrative only help to more explicitly serve those ideas to an audience that will barely get to see Year 22- any Year 22 yoonkook content is going to be automatically cut because the audience skips that period alongside Hwan so they replace it with the hallucination scene instead, if cein and jeha dont stick together in Year 22 like in canon the natural consequences they decided on is a gay as hell orpheus eurydice alluding homage before his death... which makes up for the lack of Year 22 yoonkook for me.

keep in mind that during the events of begins youth jeha and cein are 14 and 18 respectively- they cannot have the exact same ship portrayal as within hyyh year 22 events (17-19) so they focus it instead on portraying their general dynamic with an underlying queer coding to them both individually (with a growing puppy love energy on jehas end) is a much better choice imo

i could go into detail about ceins reaction to both jeha and hwan and the reaction of the people around them and its impact on his relationship w both of them in public v in private and how that links to their relationships with their fathers etcetcetc forever but like. its not the show externally that's homophobic guys. and it only serves to make it more queer coded so ill leave that for a whole other post some other time if its needed
