No tattoos yet. They lost their innocence, youth, and purity. In return, they've found love, trust in each other, confidence, honor, and cultivated an intense relationship marked by sexual desire and passion.
#WetSand
Ch 61
We see the depth of YW's love for TJ & how their secret relationship challenges them. YW understands TJ's ambition for wealth, power, & security & reflects, "When are you going to realize you can’t have everything."
It is clear how much YW loves TJ.
#WetSand
The contrast in how YW handles TJ vs Jo reveals his deeper feelings for TJ. Ch 21, YW turns down TJ's advances & feels guilty. Ch58, he fights off Jo & diplomatically creates a distraction, showing a more detached approach.
#wetsand
2nd yr anniversary & Doyak gives us the most beautiful gift of all 🤞🏽- TJYW's 1st time 2gether.
They are ea other's 1st love 💕
There's only ONE thing that could top this...TJYW meeting ea other at the present & reigniting their passion.
Thank you
#DOYAK
🌺
#wetsand
the good thing about chp62 is that we are seeing Ian slowly gaining confidence, belief & trust in himself. All bc of TJ's sacrifice. I am sad, 💔 even for both YW & TJ for what they could have been. Jo can enjoy his catch for a while at least.
#WetSand
turning point - TJ warns DK. Here he decides to let go of his MMA career to focus on protecting his family - he asks to join the gang; not bc he wanted to, but he had to. The only road to protect YW & to completely destroy him as a person he was.
#wetsand
While some see their bond as toxic, I view it as a refuge where their hearts could feel safe, loved, and trusted amid the perilous gang life. I'm thankful they had each other to brighten their darkest hours. There's nothing toxic about that.
#wetsand
When will he find happiness without the need of leaning on others? Does he need to be with someone to accept himself? This is a journey to self discovery.
#WetSand
, to all TJYW fans, let's be completely honest here; you were expecting some crazy-arse-love-making-smut for chp61, right? 🤣. I certainly was! Let's hope
#Doyak
delivers some ridiculous sexy scenes between these two, later on, in S2 🤞🏽
#WetSand
Chp52, how often did YW thought of TJ while he was at it with Jo? Did
#Doyak
intentionally include Jo's line, 'It's like we're the only ones here,' to subtly suggest that for YW, TJ was always on his mind? It seems he was never truly alone with Jo.
#WetSand
I 💕 this frame! It says so much. From YW's pov:
"Here I am, standing on the sidewalk, lost in the quiet wonder of you. Drawn by a force I can’t resist, I linger, pretending not to see. Your presence quickens my heartbeat. I can no longer resist the urge to know you."
Rg Ian's reaction to Jo, he appears frustrated, emotionally exhausted, & trapped - like a caged bird. It's a stark contrast to his relationship with TJ, which is open; based on trust, allowing him the freedom to come & go as he pleases, including sleeping with others.
Ian likes doing his own thing, but Jo's controlling nature cramps his style. TJ gets him, though. He gives YW the space he needs. Maybe too much and for far too long now. I feel, YW is ready for TJ to make a move.
#WetSand
seriously, how hot can they get? 🥵 The look they give ea other! YW looking for reassurance from TJ & TJ delivers it with love
"There's no one else in the world but you...You're the only one who truly matters to me, the one who fills my heart and soul completely." 🫶🏽
#WetSand
#Doyak
, I 💕 your use of colours & minimal dialogue, allowing readers to interpret the scene. TJYW, eyes only for ea other, surrounded by pink - symbolizing warmth, comfort, & hope - they have yet to understand the depth of their feelings for ea other. Magnificent!
YW, is focused solely on TJ. In an attempt to fill the void & provoke jealousy, YW sleeps with other men but is still waiting for TJ to commit. Their jealousy (both sides), leads to frequent arguments.
#WetSand
According to Jo & his aunt, Jo is dating! Ian is strangely unsure of the entire situation. It's obvious the two aren't on the same page. Jo is not being open with Ian at all. So many secrets!
@cane69597
They say - distance makes the heart grow fonder. I don't see them growing apart at all. Their connection is beyond physical. They are bound telepathically & emotionally. Their hearts and minds are so intertwined that even when apart, they feel each other's presence deeply.
Chp58
#WetSand
, was the most boring chp ever! No substance. Comments on JoIan being "cute"...nothing cute about any of it. I didn't feel/see any emotional engagement from Ian. I see a lot of insecurities from Jo. He can't sustain a relationship in this form.
"Purple Rain" by Prince really hits home of unspoken love & intense bonds found in
#Wetsand
. Whenever I hear it, I can't help but imagine TJ, lost in YW's velvet eyes, belting out this song with so much passion. Take a moment to listen—it's a timeless classic.
#WetSand
the most complex, lonely, misunderstood, and sexiest character I have read in any manhwa. He fights to better his life & his loved ones; & yet, he is hated by so many readers. He comes across as a red-flag, but isn't. I hope he finds love & peace.
@yuismie
Wow, that’s a lot to unpack, Kledd. I agree, but never thought about it that deeply. To your point, I think Jo fits the "adult groomer" mold. Chp35, Jo notices Ian’s "obedience" & uses that to worm his way into Ian's life. Similar to DK - who was a groomer.
@MilesLancing
I disagree with the notion that this means they have no future. The two concepts aren't mutually exclusive; reflecting on the past can strengthen their bond and pave the way for a promising future.
#WetSand
The look!
Locked in a moment of pure, breathtaking passion, their love palpable & intense. Completely absorbed in each other's presence, speechless, unable to articulate the depth of their profound connection. Or maybe, it's just me reading way too much into this 🤔
Here, Jo's actions. We find in chp53, that Jo does not address the event that occurred the night b4. He chooses not to tell Ian what happened, forcibly pushing himself into Ian's life (
#57
)
Why create another hashtag for the same subject?
#wetsand
covers it. Y take things so personal? I support TJYW, but read about Jo too. What bugs me is fans who misconstrue the story & create their own interpretations. Stick to the main hashtag & respect the original narrative!
#WetSand
Chp 52 was difficult to read. The illustrations were well-done, but the content of the sex scene was brutal. I found Jo to be extremely controlling of Ian and out of control himself. His method of delivering water to Ian was controlling, not stopping when Ian begged him
#wetsand
TJ always considerate & thinking of YW - getting him coffee. YW, no matter where he is, he is always wondering about TJ. Jo, always looking to grab Ian's attention.
#WetSand
#53
Jo was exactly as I suspected from the start - sly, cowardly, dishonest, & manipulative. His fake smile and demeanor around Ian is nauseating. It's baffling that Ian, who's been surrounded by deceitful people his whole life, hasn't caught onto what a scumbag Jo is.
@PrincessIan_TJ
I don't agree with your last point, Dee. The two obsessions are different in that TJ never pushed anything on YW. He let YW make the move. TJYW had/have, deep feelings for ea other. Jo's obsession is on another level. It's manipulative & dangerous.
@DarkholmeRonnie
I don't believe they will be together. YW will go on his own if TJ lets go. This scene, I feel, it's YW's thinking how to handle Jo. He cares about him but doesn't want the rship. Jo keeps him busy with sex & not giving him a moment to think about TJ. But it's not working.
@bdiibdiibd
Not sure where/what u r reading. Where in the story is TJ forcing YW to stay? S1-S2, YW is free to live his life. TJ only wants YW's safety & happiness, even if it means it is without TJ. Hence, when he sees Jo & still walked away. I don't understand how some readers don't read.
...Chpt 53 focuses on Jo's flashback, driven by the guilt from his deceitful choices, which he continues to make in chpt58.
Chpt54 isn't a memory flashback but rather crucial moments from YWTJ's past, as shown by the author.
+
#wetsand
Let's begin with YW's internal dialogue in chpt55:
"I know some memories only become more deeply etched in the mind the more we try to forget them, but ..."
Chpt52 triggers flashbacks for both Jo & Ian. Ian struggles to keep TJ from surfacing when he is with Jo.
#wetsand
and his behavior reflected his true character and intentions, which I had always suspected. Jo's selfishness, possessiveness, & obsession over Ian are frightening. I always felt he had a dishonest and sneaky approach, hidden behind his actions in Ian's life—cooking, shopping,
@cane69597
Stop the hate & senseless interpretations. You're only upsetting yourself. Your posts seem childish and disconnected from the actual story. By the way, many love Swiss cheese; it's perfect with all its imperfections, like TJYW's relationship.
@Woongsungz16391
I'm a fan of
#WetSand
. I acknowledge ea chrctr's part in the story. Hwevr, i can't stand Jo fans. They make me hate his chrctr. Unbelievable how they do not see his dark side. They feed of ea other & continue bhving like Jo in thr story.
@mimihwa1
I see YW's love for TJ as clear as mud. I still do not see the love 📐 here. Jo is falling in love with Ian. Ian does like Jo, but the love is with TJ. TJ loves YW. There are no connections to form a triangle.
But once TJ reenters the scene, it's bound to complicate things for YW.
All 3 will suffer. It will be hard to read, but I'm excited & extremely anxious to see how it unfolds!
#WetSand
@PrincessIan_TJ
You are right there, Dee. YW was in jail. When he came out, he was ready for a new beginning. In walked Jo with his obsession & groomed YW perfectly. That's the diff: YW was ready + Jo's obsession.
@matchamochhiii
@DarkholmeRonnie
Even though Jo is happy, he feels guilty. He is talking in his sleep. His convo with the aunt tells a lot too. He is anxious. he has fallen completely for Ian, but he stands a chance in losing him. He knows he doesn't have Ian...yet.
@WSReady
How ridiculous. This is the most misinterpreted view of Chp55. You are so far from what it was about that it's as if you didn't read it and wrote your own version of events that never happened.
@kiminippa
I believe YW had feelings for TJ. YW is a very complex character. He finds it hard to acknowledge his feelings or even understand what it all means. He is constantly questioning himself. Articulating his emotions of love, is another battle.
@romainbrso95
Is that because with the current direction, Jo is not the eg & this isn't what you wanted ? 😏 And the fact that Jo is now manipulating Ian just like DK. Ian is too naive to see.
#WetSand
chp53
Maybe Ian's too preoccupied with his own needs for sex and companionship to notice.
Watching Jo "comfort" Ian must've been gut-wrenching for TJ, yet he had the strength to walk away from his love. It just proves how much TJ cares for Ian, his Youngwoo!
@queueya
Me too - I'm a WS fan and TJ is my man, but I do see the importance of Jo's part in this story. Wld ❤️ for TJ 2 b eg, 🤞🏽, but I suspect that's not going to be so. My theory is YW will pursue his path without TJ or Jo.
@Josephmialfa
What you're saying isn't true. YW and TJ loved each other deeply, even in their darkest times. There's nothing greater than LEARNING and LIVING LOVE like they did. It beats a starry camping night any day!
#wetsand
Ian's expression in this photo speaks volumes about his emotional state. Even with Jo's company, someone he's attracted to, his mind isn't at ease. There's a bittersweet smile, undoubtedly with TJ on his mind. Clearly, he's profoundly worried about his true love.
@VALSHO_
I couldn't agree more ! Some stans completely baffle me with their lack of reading comprehension. It's possible they're just kids who haven't yet developed strong inferencing skills. Regardless, it’s extremely frustrating and annoying to deal with.
and trying to appease Ian to make him feel better but hoping Ian would reciprocate his feelings, always maintaining the upper hand with subtle manipulation.
#WetSand
to, and wanting Ian to be exclusive to him. Ejaculating on Ian's face when Ian had already passed out was disturbing. Instead of tending to Ian, Jo seemed more interested in what Ian wanted to "check." He appeared to be in a trance throughout the entire sex scene
#WetSand
@PrincessIan_TJ
@DarkholmeRonnie
I fully agree with you. YW is too nice to say anything to Jo. He is very direct with TJ when it comes to everything EXCEPT his feelings. 😞
It's a red tulip = love, happiness & joy. But not passion...apparently.
Some of the most intensely passionate moments I've read in a manhwa storyline. The emotions between these two characters are palpable & unforgettable!
#wetsand
#doyak
@queueya
Your analysis & articulation are spot on. You managed to capture the essence perfectly without disparaging any characters or readers. I truly appreciate & admire posts like these - they're thoughtful and intelligent. Your insights add great value to the discussion.
@jaekyungirl
It's hard for me to say that Jo accepts Ian. It's not that fluid. I feel Jo tolerates Ian's behaviour/choices at this stage, but his controlling nature over Ian indicates to me that, no, he would change many aspects of Ian's character once he has him all to himself.
#WetSand
#TJYW
No matter where he is, who is with, what he is doing, TJ is always in his thoughts. He is always thinking, looking, dreaming. Wandering & reminiscing to places they both treasured. Was he hoping to find TJ?
@romainbrso95
What are you talking about? Who is attacking? Your comment is on
#WetSand
. My reply was on that. Your posts are full of contradictions. 🤷🏽
@bdiibdiibd
You gotta be from another world!🤔 Senseless posts. Chpt55, we learn YW's addiction to drugs - all his "friends" left. And when he left the gang? They left too. Remember - Jo is the only person wanting Ian for himself & driving Ian's only friend away.
@Annel49526873
@CookieLandi
Jo is in deep shit right now. I don't see him letting go of Ian easily, even if Ian chooses not to go with Jo. Jo is a sociopath. He uses his charms & charisma to manipulate others. His cousin, Chris, is well aware of Jo's crazy side. TJ knows it too. Ian has to wake up.
@PrincessIan_TJ
Yeap, so true. Jo's scene was an assault on an unconscious body; no matter what the author says. She may have not intended for this interpretation, but it is what it is. Jo's character can also be defined as an adult groomer. As for TJ, he did none of those things.
@yourmomisa_simp
I don't think it's easy to walk away from the gang. TJ stayed so that YW could leave. It's too dangerous for both of them to leave. TJ is actioning a big plan. If that's successful then he will walk away, but it may be too late for the two to be 2gether.
