Real yearners know itโs all about HANDS [the gentle touch of], EYES [the pure agony and angsty pining contained in] and LIPS [the staring at of; the mortifying ordeal of allowing your deepest truth to spill out of]
idc what anyone says i love the friends to lovers tropeโฆfalling in love with someone you already adoreโฆthe pining, the tensionโฆbeing afraid youโll ruin the friendshipโฆnot knowing if they feel the same wayโฆ
This is one of the most hilarious TMIs for a BL character Iโve seen. Even funnier considering that heโs a mob boss lmao
Waiting for author-nim to show us this half-drawn tattoo on Taegu ๐คฒ๐ป๐

โIdiot, you ruined my shirtโ
โCrazy bastard, you came so muchโฆโ
โSonofabitch just telling me nonsenseโ
Which one is your favorite Youngwoo cursing out Taejoon moment? ๐
Itโs the way Taejoon and Youngwooโs relationship is the main, the biggest emotional clutch of Wet Sand. Theyโre the heart and the pathos of the story.
No scars, no tattoos, no ear piercings, not a single mark of the life path that he will eventually got dragged down into.
Just a teenager doing what he could to make a living, trying his best to survive.
A silent โI need youโ and a verbalized โyou need meโ both expressed with simple yet meaningful touches of the hand.
Shin Youngwooโs love language.
Weโre opponents in a staring contest and between us is every feeling we never confessed, every kiss we never shared, every chance we never took. You close your eyes because itโs too much; I keep mine open because itโll never be enough.
โTaejoon-ahโ โYoungwoo-yaโ They call each other in such endearing & intimate ways in the private of their own time & conversations.
But refer to the other as โTJโ & โIanโ in front of those who are strangers to their relationship.
Something abt this just tickle my brain so good.
The way you are so concern about Ian's face when he was kissed by Jo but what about his face being kissed by TJ๐ so in love so happy so lovely ๐ซ

The devastating suffering YW was put thru, the painful things TJ had to helplessly witness, the desperate choices he was forced to make so they could get outta that hellโฆit really explained so much about their relationship & current dynamics
I just want all the best for them ๐ญ
Thereโs not a single sound effect, not a single word or dialogue exchanged during flashback scene when Youngwoo approached Taejoon, when TJ notice & they smiled at each other. And yet itโs one of the most powerful and emotional scenes for them. Iโm never getting over this ever!
Thinking about how TJ didnโt wear earrings or even had any piercings before. He must have gotten them later to match with Youngwoo.
But now itโs Youngwoo who no longer wears his earrings ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ
Recognizing your manโs scent off of a random woman walking by is pretty crazy
Staring down the lipstick with them jealous eyes not gonna make it disappear, Youngwoo bby ๐คง
Getting a glimpse of their past like this, seeing them at the time when they both fell and became each otherโs first love, interspersed with current time and the fucked up relationship theyโre havingโฆreally make it hit even harder emotionally ๐

Funeral fit incredibly on point, he got Youngwoo desperately eager to jump on his d*ck, and his ex so crazy obsessed she was ready to cancel a whole engagement for him.
The way TJ was small and scrawny that YW was surprised that theyโre the same age
I just know YW was cursing out TJ inside when that growth spurt hit and TJ shot up over him in height and physique
โYou son of a bitch, youโre talking nonsenseโ
Realest thing to happen this chapter is Youngwoo cursing out Taejoon even in his thoughts. Something just doesnโt ever change.
we romanticize blue and green eyes, but itโs time we romanticized brown eyes. brown eyes the color of spanish chocolate. brown eyes deeper and darker than a forbidden wood. brown eyes that hold mystery, unfathomable despair, and the warm promise of a tender embrace.
Youngwoo was still a teenager here, barely an adult, but already got put thru so much shit and made to suffer as if life hasnโt been bad enough for him then
My heart canโt take this ๐ฅฒ
The helplessness, the desperation he felt leading up to this. Accepting the task of killing a person so calmly because he only had one goal and one person on his mind.
