do you ever just think about this shot and how it's one of the three moments Jaeho thinks back on in the scene where he is told Hyunsoo is a cop, but out of the three, it's the only shot that isn't anywhere else in the movie because it's a different perspective on the scene where Jaeho first talks to Hyunsoo (and first reaches out to touch him) and the other two flashbacks are to the scenes where Hyunsoo threw his lot in with Jaeho and saved his life, but in this shot nothing is happening – except Hyunsoo smiling at him for the first time and he's bathed in golden light that doesn't match the lighting of the actual scene because it's much darker when we first see it, but he's bathed in golden light here and his face lights up as he looks up at Jaeho and he looks beautiful – and it's the first of the memories that flash in Jaeho's mind before he says "He's too good to bury" and it's right there on the screen that he not only doesn't want to waste Hyunsoo just because he's useful, because he's smart or because it would be a good play, but because he's in love
You know.....how Yohan kept threatening Gaon to do something awful to him like kill people he cares about just to get him on his side....and how Jaeho actually did that..how Yohan not having done something like that kept him still redeemable in Gaon's eyes..but Hyunsoo already loved Jaeho..he had chosen to be on Jaeho's side..if only Jaeho had been a little more patient..Hyunsoo would have chosen him..how Jaeho wanted Hyunsoo by his side so desperately that in his desperation he ended up doing something that made him loose the one and only person who loved him..nay..trusted him....
Parallel! Also I find it interesting, the contrast in dynamic between Jongwoo and Moonjo vs Hyunsoo and Jaeho. And the different kind and level of 'broken beyond repair' that Im Siwan's characters suffered in the end of the stories.
Jaeho's feeling towards Hyunsoo was almost mutual. They were what some people call by soulmate. It's almost healthy. But circumstances leaded Jaeho to do something so gravely unforgivable to his beloved. Which unavoidably ended up with both of them being irreparably damaged.
Jongwoo's feeling toward Moonjo, in my opinion, was a mix of anger and fear. While Moonjo's feeling toward Jongwoo was... I don't know... was it love? Well even if it wasn't, it would become love eventually. But Jongwoo looked at him as friend only in the beginning. They were the very definition of protagonist vs antagonist, undoubtedly. Very very unhealthy relationship. Jongwoo ended up very damaged as well, yes, but not to Moonjo. He would look at Jongwoo's end state and be so proud of him.
If you ask me which of them (Jongwoo vs Hyunsoo) was the more broken one, I won't be able to answer. But I do think Hyunsoo is the more hopeless one. He really lost every thing he had. And I think this makes me kinda understand why Moonjo spared Jieun's life. Also isn't it interesting how the seemingly healthier relationship became the more destructive one in the end?
Youngdo: I really want a cheating plot for him. A verse where he got married at a young age and his wife has always resented him since it was arranged and while he tried to make amends with her even to this day they have a distant relationship. So he’s lonely to the max and just really wants some love and affection. He’ll fall for anyone that gives it to him. Lots of sneaking around in his office, maybe even at his place when his wife is away, sleeping over at their place and having to make up lies but he would be so in love.
Jaeho: Really would love the iconic photographer x idol/model plot for him! He is gay so males only for this. That is what could bring tension to the plot too. If your muse might be famous they might want to hide their sexuality and/or relationship while Jaeho is quite open about it, as much as possible at least.
Jungsoo: Angst, someone come break his lil heart pls. I want an fwb plot where he develops feelings and is very open about them right away since he has no filter on emotions. But the other muse is hesitant, wants to stick to the promise of not getting into a relationship etc. Jungsoo will be a love smitten puppy trying to convince them otherwise.
Hyunsoo: Throw your single parent muses at me!! Hyunsoo is a pediatrician so I was thinking a plot where a single parent comes in with their child and they have to come back for regular check ups ( we can decide later exactly why and what the kid is diagnosed with ) And so Hyunsoo and the parent develop this relationship as he sees them struggle through the visits and tries to be very supportive, maybe the child also likes him a lot.
Yeseul: A good office worker always staying late. Give me a muse against her to fall for that completely throws her life off track, whether it’s healthy or toxic.
Bonggoo: Materialistic, give me a rich muse he only gets with for their money but slowly he falls for them and has to explain notes in his phone that literally divide the people he dated by their income.
A VERY DESCRIPTIVE & DETAILED PROFILE OF YOUR MUSE.

I just keep thinking that Jaeho after meeting Hyunsoo and experiencing being in love for the very first time in his life, might wanna do all the cheesy things romantic movies tell about. All the things he used to find stupid, like:
bringing Hyunsoo breakfast to bed
getting a nice smelling bubble bath with Hyunsoo surrounded by candles
leaving Hyunsoo cute notes
renting a boat to go with Hyunsoo somewhere
slow dancing with Hyunsoo to some love songs
getting them a matching stuff
downloading an app that keeps track how many days they are in relationship (+he also remembers all the anniversaries)
Hyunsoo is not sure what is going on because no one has ever treated him that way but he goes along with it because it’s fun.
Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it.
Then tag some people for a no-obligation mutual wailing/cheering/complaining session!

3 Ships You Like: Of course my number one love, Han Jaeho x Jo Hyunsoo from The Merciless. Then Sakata Gintoki x Hijikata Toshirou from Gintama and Zoro x Sanji from One Piece.
First Ship Ever: Probably SasuNaru. Or Stella x Brandon from Winx.
Last Song You Heard: I just started to listening to some random playlist on YouTube. It’s called '80s japanese city pop playlist' and first song on it was 'Flyday Chinatown' by Yasuha. Didn't know it before but it's catchy.
Favourite Childhood Book: 'Winnie-the-Pooh' by A.A. Milne is my all time favorite. Also 'Horrid Henry' by Francesca Simon and 'Little Nicholas' by René Goscinny.
Currently Reading: Going through 3 books at the same time: Mariana Leky's 'What You Can See From Here', Agatha Christie’s 'And Then There Were None' and Gu Byeongmo’s 'The Old Woman With The Knife'.
Currently watching: I just started ‘Jojo Bizarre Adventure’ (I’m on episode 4 of season 1) and I have to also finish ‘Welcome to Samdalri’, ‘Shop for Killers’ and ‘Captivating the King’.
Currently consuming: a biscuit with honey from Popeyes and Earl Grey tea.
Currently craving: time and will to finish my wips. Other than that I would eat an apple. A nice, tasty apple.
rules: give us the links to your fic with the most hits, second most kudos, third most comments, fourth most bookmarks, fifth most words, and fic with the least words.
Okay, here we go!
most hits: Silk (Han Jaeho x Jo Hyunsoo from The Merciless)
It started with seeing a photo of Siwan in a silky shirt and things went from there. It was also the first smut I've ever written (and posted) so I’m really happy it got so popular :)
second most kudos: CEO, Jae Ho. Han. (Han Jaeho x Jo Hyunsoo from The Merciless)
Jaeho became the boss of Ocean Trading after Chairman Ko’s death! It means promotion! Jaeho and Hyunsoo should celebrate! In the movie there was not a lot of time for that and I wanted Hyunsoo sitting on Jaeho's lap.
third most comments: Back Together (Han Jaeho x Jo Hyunsoo from The Merciless)
I really wanted to add more to the day Hyunsoo got released from prison and I believe that he and Jaeho lived together in the older man’s apartment from that point on. Also writing Jaeho being struck by Hyunsoo's presence and beauty because he’s so in love is fun.
fourth most bookmarked: Silk (Han Jaeho x Jo Hyunsoo from The Merciless) and Cuddles and other sleeping habits (Han Jaeho x Jo Hyunsoo from The Merciless).
Both fics have the same number of bookmarks and I already talked about Silk, so, Cuddles and other sleeping habits. It was the first fic I wrote and posted. After watching Merciless I had a lot of thoughts, joined the Merciless Discord Server, and then I had to write something. I have to update that fic a bit because it was a long time ago since I wrote it but I’m proud of it. Jaeho and Hyunsoo being cute and cuddly brings me happiness.
fifth most words: Silk (Han Jaeho x Jo Hyunsoo from The Merciless) (once again), Words: 3,924
I’m in the middle of writing another fic and already now it’s the longest I've ever written so the ranking will change soon. But the writing goes slowly. I have to finally sit down and finish it.
least words: World Apart (Han Jaeho x Jo Hyunsoo from The Merciless), Words: 476
I wrote it inspired by a prompt by @sofarraway. It was inspired by the song World Apart by Asian Kung-Fu Generation and the lyrics fit Jaeho and Hyunsoo's situation perfectly. I wish that short fic was a tiny bit longer so maybe one day I will do something about it.
It was fun to see some statistics and go through my fics again (and I love talking about them too 😆). Once again, Thank you Min! ❤️❤️❤️
Tagging: @daxianme @bobafvcks @yardmargs @verochkasnightmarecorner @frayed-at-the-seams @stanaclown and everyone else who I'm forgetting now
