Shin and Miw
Okay, so Shin and Miw? Miw and Shin?
Too many thoughts and not enough brain power but DAMN I love the way they meet.
The fact that Shin, who knows by now that he’s gay, looks at Miw and either thinks she’s gonna reject him anyway and if not seems interesting enough to try to be physical with at least once.
And the fact that Miw, who isn’t one of the dancers, looks at Shin and sees a) easy prey and b) a person safe enough to be alone with and maybe get physical with. And we KNOW how bad her experiences have been with men (at least now we know, oops).
I really love that. I love that they have this moment of bonding and of getting vulnerable with each other so fast and so early. They need it. They need it so much because Shin is becoming Miw’s safe space in some way and he’s the reason to keep them together since all she does at the beginning with Neo is to fight.
And Shin needs her to also have this person he trusts and who he feels comfortable with and who manages to push him to the point where he also lashes out and stands up for himself.
I mean, Shin is the one SHE lashes out at the diner, when she’s high on anxiety because she’s back on the island. Because she trusts him not to hurt her.
Also it totally helps that both are hot AF and Shin needs a pushy person like Miw and she needs a soft boi like him. And I, personally, have all the fun watching those two interact <3
Like LOOK!!!
Shin is gay but he gives her a try and damn that’s a hell of a try! And I like that when it comes to her he’s more fluid because sexual intimacy is a way they later show their love and affection when Neo is involved. They have their own special way to deal with each other and love each other and love that it’s complicated and real™
