Something about Seongje and Juntae and expectations. Where Seongje expected care from Baekjin, but found only cold indifference. And where Juntae expected nothing from Sieun, but found pure friendship.
And Seongje who returns to Baekjin despite knowing there's nothing for him in his heart, but Juntae who lets Sieun go despite knowing their bond is so rare. They have expectations, but also don't expect anything. Both content to love from a distance, even being left behind.
What they crave more than anything is love and friendship that you don't have to beg for. Because that's what they offer to the people they love. They give unconditionally without asking for anything in return, but let's be real. How much can one person give without burning out?
But where Juntae finds his friendship and love reciprocated in Sieun, Gotak & Baku; Seongje doesnt find it in Baekjin, but in Juntae. That unconditional love is not directed at him, but he feels it still. All his buried expectations in the boy on the floor. A reflection of himself.
