The green trees we see after the sun rises on a snow covered land, that survived through a blizzard.
For those who don't understand it... that's a shortened version of the long poetic description of Clopeh's "holy" smile given by none other than Super Rock himself 🤣🤣🤣
Seems like Super Rock had a poet hidden in him all along! 🤣
A lot of people try to make Kim Rok Soo's past as miserable as possible, but I don't think that's true. Not only does he not have the full curse of the White Star, but I feel that it would be more miserable of a life if a reaching hand was always just out of reach.
So, this is my proposal: krs is a child that did not slip through the system. He was helped by it, but every attempt to help failed due to White Star's diluted curse. That is much more tragic in my opinion.
I love how some transmigration stories will have a main character that will do incredibly kind things for everyone around them,changing the story for the better and they will forever call their own actions selfish and self-motivated even when it doesn't have any advantages for them and actively stop them from getting theirs original goal , not for the drama of it all but because they are so blind to theirs own impact, it's funny ?
I mean, the implications behind that stays sad but still.
Fanfics where Rok Soo meets Og!Cale or gets to know him more and is like "this guy is actually precious, he should be protected at all cost" are one of my favorite things.
Like: Yes. He is, indeed, very precious. Thanks for noticing.
Rok Soo is always surrounded by people who would kill him or kill for him. For him, Og!Cale is an oddity with little to none bloodlust (the little is WS, yes) and easy to deal with. His most difficult trait is his cryptid ways, which is just confusing, not an actual treat. He's a fresh breeze.
But the easy he is to convince to help is concerning (for Rok Soo only). What if someone takes advantage on him? (Again, only Rok Soo worries about this).
Cale actually has standards about who to help and when to ask something in exchange, Rok Soo is just unaware of them.
Mm you know where clopeh says Cale got a revelation from the gods, like a godly book or something, and he used that knowledge to save the world from war? (Or is that fanfiction-)
Krs gets reborn as Cale with absolutely no prior knowledge of the novel. He knows something is off with Ron but not what, jour is his mother and he learned a bit about the Thames from her, he's not necessarily trash, he goes out to drink sometimes and is distant from his family and the rumors spiraled from there but he didn't stop them because it was useful in a way.
Anyways a few months after he turns 18, he literally gets a book from God. There's a glowing book that appears in his room at the middle of the night while he's snacking and it smacks him in the face and the novel is "The Birth of a Hero" with just a note attached saying 'Have fun! -GoD'
Then later when clopeh becomes obsessive and crap Cale just sits down with his elbows on his knees, head in his hands, contemplating life and just whispers to himself
Due to the white star curse, Kim Rok Soo didn't feel emotions as much as he does as Cale. So, he didn't show as many emotions as Kim Rok Soo as he does as Cale. Both Lee Soo Hyuk and Choi Jung Soo mourn the chance they never got in Korea to see a all red and embarrassed krs who couldn't exactly hide his smile. And when lsh becomes Sui Khan, he can't start the relationship again because he's now a teen, and cjs is nowhere to be found.
Not even after White Star dies can they live together as they once did.
