Heyyy!
This is not a request but more a curiosity! Because I’ve thought about for the last hour but nothing really came so I’ll ask my fav ROTBB writer:What love tropes do you see Chung Myung in? And also Tang Bo?
"My fave ROTBB writer" you got me there anon 🤭 uhm–
Thank you for asking this because now I have to think about it too.. and yk I'm enjoying this <3
For Chung Myung ah I feel like "unrequited love" comes first when talking about this man. I mean, it's Chung Myung. It's not easy at all to become truely friends with him let alone him having romantic feelings for someone else. Also, I have to say "ymow" like bruh be fr, we all haven't gotten over that one comment on webtoon, I bet that if Chung Myung had a type then it would be a beautiful mommy. I also in someway see him in an "enemies to lovers" trope. Okay just listen! Don't shoot me yet. I know that Chung Myung hates his enemies to the core but isn't that what would make it interesting? Imagine the conflict he'd feel or how crazy he'd became if he ended up with feelings for a sapa or worse...a Zhongnan disciple... OH CRAP I JUST GOT CHILLS. It would be more comedy than romance.
(+ "the lone wolf" and "grumpy x sunshine". Specifically him as the pbss Chung Myung.)
Tang Bo my dear muehehheh– I KNOW he'd be like... perfect, for a "fake marriage" trope. So imagine this, his family's had enough and is seriously trying to find him some noble woman and maybe this time he's having a hard time convincing them otherwise, so he gets some help. He's pretty sure that he and his fake wife can act just fine to trick his family, just for a period of time before they divorce. After that no one should be able to force him to get in a relationship. Or so he planned. Crap this suddenly turned into headcanons... Anyways we move to the next. I could clearly see him in a "Cinderella" or "forbidden love" trope, since he's probably so rich, and from a clan that rules some land, I think it'd be fun if he found himself into some commoner. AND. I could see him in a "rivals to lovers", yes dear. Chung Myung is the strongest martial artist in the world, and ofc there's one place for the second so the two fight like maniacs over it lol.
A bonus...hc? Are these headcanons? Anyways: Baek Cheon
I feel like... "Opposites attract" or more specifically "neat x messy" I mean obviously he's a perfectionist, I imagine that he gets frustrated by the other's lack of caring for their.. appearance, manners, surroundings, whatever. And would constantly insist on the other to act or fix stuff, and when he's frustrated he'd try to fix things himself. But then he'd grow accustomed to things just to the slightest and find himself adoring the messiness and finding some sort of comfort in it (?) so sweet <3. Also he'd be so cute with an "Oblivious to love" kinda situation. Like imagine him screaming in his pillow after his attempt no. 26837325829 got unintentionally denied by the other person? (Honestly this would work with Tang Bo as well).
In the end, I believe that most (not all but most) of the tropes can be applied to any character in general... Except for love at first sight... don't even mention this thing in front of me.
Hope this satisfied your curiosity, anon! Have a good day/night! ^^
