last twilight ep 7 thoughts, feelings, etc
ALRIGHT i ran my errands, caught up on pit babe and playboyy to relax, and now i'm doing my speedwatch. i took some notes while watching the first time and they're a fucking MESS but hopefully they help me remember everything i want to comment on because without fail i always forget something.
you'll all be glad to know this week's meta bullshit from me is far, far less romantic and wistful than last weeks. you've all been spared by my adhd brain not being able to piece together a single poetic thought.
Tumblr media
i kind of knew from this moment the trajectory the episode would take. Day is clearly nervous but not defensive - this isn't out of the realm of something Mhok would do for him but with recent context it probably feels fairly intimate. i think this was a really good indicator of what we're in for.
Tumblr media
there's a collection of sunflowers in Day's room, tucked away in the corner, not unlike Mhok tucking away his feelings for Day's comfort. the poor things are shrouded in shadow, away from the light. the pain is unending and forever.
Tumblr media
Day's flashback to the kiss has me curious. his eyes are closed so he's not even thinking back to seeing what he can of Mhok up close. as he reminisces about this kiss is he simply remembering the sensation of Mhok's lips on his own? how his hands curled into Mhok's jacket? and i'm sure we've all seen the post but - was he thinking of the way Mhok tasted like cigarettes? this isn't to romanticize his disability, i'm just genuinely wondering what exactly he's drawing on here in this moment, because it's clearly something significant to him.
Tumblr media
Porjai just keeps getting prettier every episode and it's making me insane. i just think i should be allowed to take care of her.
"I'm jealous of Day's ability to make you smile."
this makes me think Mhok's smiles have been few and far between, and maybe Porjai has been looking to bring out that smile for a long time. does she ever worry that maybe someday Mhok could end up like Rung? does she worry about finding him too?
Tumblr media
oh i so very badly want the context for this, i want to know everything. but also, it's really not that surprising. not when we've seen the things Mhok has done for Day. Mhok lives his life in extremes; anger, kindness, protectiveness, his work, etc. everything Mhok does he puts his whole self into it and it's nice to see his love is no different, because why would it be?
i'm once again in awe of what P'Aof has done with Mhok and Porjai, though. they live together so easily and naturally. there's nothing strange or awkward about it, just two people surviving life together. it's such a breath of fresh air.
Tumblr media
Day just cannot catch a break when it comes to August. this has to hurt so fucking badly, the pity has to feel amplified by 1000. not only was August trying to force himself to like Day back because he's blind, but also because he was thinking of leaving. Day is a stronger man than me because i would be frothing at the mouth pissed.
but once again, Mhok doesn't let Day stew in his fish tank. he encourages him to go out and resolve his feelings, even if that means screaming at August and letting out all his hurt and frustration. he's seen what happens when Day lets his hurt fester and he won't let it happen again, not while he's around.
"He's a lot stronger than I thought. It's me who's so weak that I let him down."
as much as August pisses me off, i do think this is him realizing his pity was misplaced, and he failed Day in that way, so he gets some redemption points here. (still think he's a stinky bastard man tho)
Tumblr media
the immediate distance Mhok puts between himself and the group never fails to hurt my heart. i get it, he's there for a job, but their relationship has progressed past that - now even moreso, and i cant help but wonder if this is his attempt at keeping a distance, curbing his expectations, reminding himself that while his role is to be by Day's side it's only in a professional capacity.
i love that Gee acknowledges him with a little head nod, occasionally looks in Mhok's direction as if to include him, she's just - ugh - i love all the women in this show so fucking much. i just wish someone would invite Mhok over sometime, encourage him to join the conversation (like they did back at the party.)
sometimes Mhok really is the embodiment of a shadow - both of Day and of his former self (for good or bad.)
(he looks so fucking sexy leaning like that with his shirt tucked into his pants tho, whew.)
Gee also becomes one of my favorite people for asking Day to take the photo of all of them. she just gets it, she includes him, she doesn't act like he can't do things, she even insists he can, she's just !!! the women of all time in this show i swear!!! I LOVE WOMEN!!!!
also the "you don't drink coffee, girl spill the tea" from Gee is just so good. she knows a diversion tactic when she sees one.
Tumblr media
i want this expression framed, she's so cute, HELP.
Tumblr media
i wish i had the time and energy today to make gifs for this week but ugh. the journey Mhok's face went on here to end up at quiet resignation. because he did figure. someone like Day? with someone like him? because we know Mhok's opinion of himself isn't great, largely influenced by his incarceration and reintegration into society, i'm sure, along with his guilt. but there had been that little bud of hope, a little sunflower seed that had bloomed just a little too far, reached for the sun a little too much. it must feel like a weed in his chest.
Tumblr media
the way Day says 'here' so softly, with so much vulnerability made me feel like screaming. he doesn't know what his feelings are for Mhok yet (you can't tell me he doesn't feel anything) but he knows he doesn't want to lose Mhok and the sudden idea of it is terrifying. Mhok is the only person that really understands him, one of the only people he's comfortable around anymore, and he can't lose that. he doesn't want to go back to the dirty fish tank.
i also think this was an indicator to Mhok that maybe Day doesn't know how he feels, and maybe he can get away with flirting in tiny, subtle ways because from here on his secret flirting game is in full effect and it's so fucking cute. he's careful not to completely push past Day boundaries, but to test them in gentle ways.
Tumblr media
THE SHOES MY BELOVEDS. we all know what i feel about these shoes after last week and i'm so glad to see all of my stupid babbling confirmed here. i love that Mhok constantly mends things instead of throwing them away. the sentimentality of items means something to Mhok and we love him for that.
we also got a proper 'sweet dreams' this episode, finally!! thank you subbers!
so many shots of feet this ep tho and lemme tell you as someone that HATES feet, this was rough.
Tumblr media
oh you are so smitten. Day realizing Mhok is warm, warm in his own way, warm in such a gentle and understated way. UGH. you would've thought he knew after everything they've been through but sometimes people need a reminder and maybe something to drive them to pay closer attention. our boy is BESOTTED. kicking his feet and giggling. i think this is the happiest we've ever seen him.
Tumblr media
so here's where i'm probably going to wax poetic the most. Mhok is finally opening up to Day in such an incredible way. he brings Day to his home with no fear of pity or judgement. he brings him into this sanctuary created by him, his sister, and Porjai and he cooks for him and cares for him and in letting him in Day sees even more how impossibly warm Mhok is.
what's even greater is there isn't a single moment where Day is jealous or questions Porjai being there. Mhok has told him she's expecting and he's never weird about it, just kind and understanding and it's all so normalized, it's fucking beautiful. Day even takes the time to encourage Porjai, to share about his mom, and about the strength it takes to be a single mom. P'Aof i adore you.
Mhok has planted jasmine simply because he knows Day likes it, and maybe now he likes it too. and he brings Last Twilight home to practice reading (i'd always wondered how he managed to read without stumbling over himself lmao) and he's done it so much that now Porjai wants to name their child Mee, wants to create this connection to Day forever.
and once prompted, once Day knows enough to ask, Mhok opens up about Rung, talks about her more. Day comments on the warmth of the house, something started by Rung and cultivated by Mhok. it would be so easy for the house to feel cold and clinical, especially knowing what happened here, but Mhok has kept it a home - warm, inviting, comforting - all the things Mhok has been to Day.
the noises took me by fuckin' surprise tho, i genuinely looked around my house like who the fuck is making all that noise and then i was like OH THOSE ARE-- OKAY--
Tumblr media
and I know people are like haha P'Aof has a scent kink but like. idk. maybe it's just me but scents are something i'm drawn to. i remember the way someone smelled more than i remember their face. i recently took a shirt out of my closet and immediately started crying. it smelled like face powder and perfume. it smelled like my grandma. the leather jacket pushed to the side smells like cigarettes and horses, like my dad always did.
scent is such an ingrained memory, something that is so hard for our brains to let go of. every time i get a familiar smell it knocks me on my ass, and i'm so glad to see some of this represented in these shows.
Tumblr media
this absolutely warmed my heart. whatever is going on with Night and Day is clearly more on Day's side than anything else. Night clearly loves his brother and i'm just fucking DYING to know what is going on that is causing Day to drive a wedge between them. sure, Night hasn't been perfect, but there's love there and that counts for so much.
Tumblr media
and what exactly are you doing here??? this is a charity run for blindness - does he know someone that is blind other than Day? did meeting Day inspire him to participate? has he spent time talking to Mhok about Day and maybe the difficulties of his blindness? i am filled with questions but i love this character so much, he's just so kind.
Day's hesitation to cross the finish line was also something i found so interesting. it felt long, possibly too drawn out, but Day needed to think, needed time to understand that if he crosses that finish line, if he accepts Mhok's request to be his boyfriend, their lives will never go back to how they were. things between them will change forever, whether the relationship is a success or otherwise. it's an incredibly mature thing of Day to do, even if it felt a little lengthy for us, the audience.
Tumblr media
i strongly believe that in addition to Mhok Porjai is going to be a big driving force in Night and Day's reconciliation. i would love to see Porjai gain Night's side of the story, Mhok gain Day's side of the story, and the two of them working together to see how they can reunite these brothers.
also if i had a nickle for every time P'Aof paired Mark with a pregnant woman in his shows i'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot but it's interesting it has happened twice.
Tumblr media
while i, like everyone else, hope the mock proposal is a parallel we get to see later i want to focus more on this moment.
i forget who said it, it's long gone to the depths of my dash by now, but someone commented that disabilities do not stop for love, and fuck is that so true. i love Mhok's concern, his immediate reaction to soothe, and the way he seems to feel Day's fear as his own. and poor Day, he can't even enjoy this moment of bliss with Mhok because of course, of course something like this had to happen. it's so fucking real in the way Last Twilight has been this entire time.
the constant excellent representation of disabled living has been incredible to see, i've seen so much of myself in this show (even though my disability is so very different) and it's been like a warm blanket put over very single comment: you're too young to be disabled, you aren't THAT disabled, you're being dramatic, etc.
from the bottom of my heart, thank you P'Aof and team.
tag loves: @benkaaoi @callipigio @infinitelyprecious (as always tell me if you want to be added {for LT only or all meta} or removed!)

==================
KIM SEOKJIN:
Tumblr media
Gimme dat kith boi, mwuah!
"Jin! Get your butt back in that bed right now!" You scold your husband the second you see him standing in the living room while you're cooking soup for him in the kitchen. He smiles sheepishly and waves a dismissive hand, "I'm fine, I want to help." His voice cracks and you frown at him in disapproval.
"Honey, you literally have the stomach flu. Stop being ridiculous, and just let me help you get better." You walk over to him and feel his forehead, frowning again when it's obvious he still has a fever. Jin's pale face drops in disappointment, "I hate being sick. I feel bad leaving you to do everything." You smile at him and pat him on the head consolingly. 
"I love taking care of you, now get back in that bed. I'm going to go pick the kids up from school and then you're going to eat the food I bring you. Understood?" He pouts but nods weakly, letting you kiss his head and ruffle his bed head.
"And don't you dare get out of that bed unless it's to use the restroom!" You point at him and grab your purse and keys. "Yes, ma'am." He mumbles before making his way back to to your shared room.
~
"Is daddy still sick mommy?" Your four year old daughter speaks up over her older brothers that are talking next to her as you're driving them home from school.
"Yes, Kinny baby. Daddy is going to be sick for a few days, and I don't want you kids catching it so please don't get too close, alright?" You see her in the rearview mirror as she nods sadly and fiddles with her tiny fingers. The twins keep bickering quietly over something that happened at school. You shake your head and sigh, not wanting to deal with that right now. When you four make it back home, you send them off to wash up and start their homework before dinner. Seungwoo and Hwangwoo race to their room and Min-Ki goes to find her toys, since she's only in preschool and doesn't have any schoolwork to do. You finish up the soup and put some in a bowl to bring to Jin.
When you open the bedroom door and see him sleeping, you smile at him and sit on the edge of the bed carefully. "Jin, baby. Wake up, we need to get some food into you." You whisper and shake his shoulder a little. His eyes flutter open and he smiles at you, "Hi, princess. Are the kids home?" He croaks out as he tries to get into a sitting position.
The sound of giggles outside of the door answers his question and he smiles sadly. "I want to see them. Please, baby?" He pouts and you hand him the bowl of soup to eat.
"Of course you can see them, honey. They just can't get too close, I don't want them catching it. Eat that slowly, ok?" He nods and you go to fetch the children.
"Boys, Min-Ki! Daddy wants to see you!" You call out, smiling when you hear little feet running. Min-Ki comes charging down the hall first, a doll tightly gripped in her hands. Then her brothers, who are three years older than her and much faster, run past her and she pouts. "No fair! Slow down, you boys!" She shouts after them and you laugh at her cute face, swooping her up in your arms and carrying her to your room.
Your husband is beaming when he sees all the kids gathered by his bed, "Hi babies!"
"Hi, dad!" Seungwoo waves at him from the foot of the bed and Hwangwoo fiddles with his hands before asking quietly, "Does it hurt, daddy? Are you okay?" Jin clutches his heart and then his stomach, groaning dramatically, "Ohhh it hurts so bad Hwangie!"
"Jin!" You laugh at him and Hwangwoo cracks a smile while Seungwoo laughs loudly. Min-Ki wiggles put of your arms and runs to the side of his bed, "Really daddy?" Her big eyes stare at him worriedly and he smiles at her, "No, daddy was just playing sweetie. I'm okay." She nods, unconvinced. Then she holds up her doll and puts it in Jin's lap, "Here daddy, dolly always make me feel better when I'm sad. She will help you, too!"
Jin takes the doll and sets her by his pillow, giving her a small share of the covers, then he turns to the little girl, his eyes watering.
"Thank you, Kinny. I'm sure she'll take good care of me."
You smile at him and he grins back at you, mouthing 'I love you' and blowing you a dramatic air kiss, sending the kids into another fit of giggles.
You love that he always wants to make his loved ones laugh, even when he's sick in bed.
That's your sweet husband for ya.
MIN YOONGI:
Tumblr media
So soft ;-; may I hug?
"Hello?"
"Yoongi, are you still at the studio?"
Your fiance internally groans at your question, knowing you caught him red-handed this time. He covers the phone to clear his throat, then he tries to put his best 'not sick' voice into play. "I'm just finishing something up, I swear I'll leave after this." Your silence on the other end makes him cringe, he can tell you're not happy with him. Yoongi is usually the one to intimidate others, but when it comes to you, he'd rather not cross the line. Especially when you know he's overworking himself, your mama bear instincts come out and he instantly regrets everything. Of course all you want is the best for him, but that doesn't mean you aren't scary when he disappoints you because he isn't taking care of himself.
Right now, he had a nasty cold and he's been stuck in this studio for who knows how long because he's a perfectionist. He's driving himself crazy, at this point.
"I'm coming over, unlock the door."
"Baby, you don't have to do tha-"
He sighs when you hang up before he can finish. "Aish! I'm in for it now." He groans and runs his hands down his face. Not ten minutes later, there's an annoyed knock at the door. Yes, he can tell you're annoyed by your knock, that's how close the two of you are.
"Min, you better open this door or so help me."
He almost smiles at your voice coming in through the door, if you weren't so mad he'd find it cute. Alas, you're extremely mad. He gets up and walks to the door, accepting his fate. The second the door is unlocked, you push your way in, knocking him out of the way and making him stumble back.
You pay him no mind, just shove your way in and shut the door behind you before turning to glare at him. "Care to explain yourself, or is it the same excuse?" You cross your arms as you study him.
Yoongi sighs and plops back down on his chair, "Y/n, you know I have a busy schedule and I need to get this done no matter what."
"Ah! So it is the same excuse, great."
"Y/n, babe-"
"No, you shut up and listen to me, mister." You glare at him and he snaps his mouth shut immediately. You drop the bag you were carrying on the coffee table and pull out a few things.
You set a bag of cough drops on his desk, followed by a box of tissues and some honey tea to soothe his throat. Then you step back and glare at him again. "I brought this for you to get better, not to make you ruin your schedule." You say bitterly.
Yoongi feels guilty as he stares at the stuff you got him, then he looks back at you. "I'm sorry. I really am, I'm just so stressed right now and I blamed you. This is all on me."
You give him a half smile, "Well, I forgive you. I'll leave you alone now." A pair of arms grabs your waist before you can get too far, pulling you in and making you sit on his lap. "Please stay, I'm sorry."
You pretend like you're thinking, then laugh when he starts to tickle you. "Ok, fine!"
Yoongi smiles and kisses your hair, "Thank you for always taking care of me, baby."
JUNG HOSEOK:
Tumblr media
Ohhhhhh noooo I luv him
"You okay, hyung?"
Jungkook walks over to Hoseok, who's bent over and breathing hard with his hands on his knees. The older boy looks up and nods, sending the youngest a bright smile, "I'm fine! Just lost my breath for a minute there. Let's go again."
Jungkook nods uncertainly, knowing Hoseok is usually the last to run out of steam out of all seven of them. "Ok, but if you need to take a break it's fine." Hoseok shakes his head and waves for someone to start the music again. They all start from the top, going hard. In the middle of the dance, Hobi starts to breathe harder, his chest tight and a horrible tickle in his throat. The room feels so hot, but it seems like no one else is struggling. He sucks it up and continues to do the best he can. It's Seokjin that stops them when the dance is almost finished, waving a hand to get everyone's attention.
"Hold up everyone. Please stop the music." Then he walks over to the lead dancer and touches his shoulder, "You need to take a break, Hobi. You're totally flushed and I can see you struggling."
Hoseok frowns and shakes his head, then he tries to speak up but Jin interrupts him, "No. No excuses, if you don't stop I'm going to call Y/n and tell her what's going on."
That makes him freeze, then he grinds his teeth and nods grimly, "Fine. I'll take a ten minute break, that's it." Seokjin nods and waits for him to go and sit on the couch, then he tells the other members to take a break as well. Hobi is sitting there with his head in his hands as he starts to feel worse and worse. He hasn't felt his best for the past few days but this is much worse. He feels like his whole face is on fire and his muscles are aching more than they ever have. Not to mention his tight chest and awful congestion.
When the ten minutes are almost up, Taehyung comes over to him and sits down. "Hyung, we think you should go home. Just get some real rest and we'll pick it up again soon." The elder shakes his head, "No I can't, we need to get this down."
Just then door opens and Hobi sees you walk in with a worried expression. When you see him on the couch you come over and sit on his other side, touching his shoulder gently.
"You feeling okay, sunshine? What's going on?" You ask softly, sending Tae a grateful smile when he stands up to leave. Hobi is about to lie and say he's just tired, but he decides against it when he sees the look in your eyes and he knows you're really worried.
"I think I might be coming down with something, but I can't afford to lose practice time!" He groans and puts his face in his hands. You pat him on the shoulder and rub his back comfortingly, "Sweetie, I totally understand why you're stressed. You need to take care of yourself though. Think about it like this, if you spend a few days and get better then you're good for the rest of the comeback prep. If you push yourself, then it could come back to bite you in the butt at a worse time, like in the middle of tour or even in the middle of a performance." He looks at you, thinking about what you're saying. "You have time to get better right now, you won't have that time in a few weeks and you'll just get worse."
He sighs and lays his head on your shoulder, "You're right. As usual." He chuckles quietly and you smile and reach up to pat his cheek gently.
"So you'll let me take care of you?"
"Yes, thank you baby."
You have him stay at your place for the next few days while you make him rest in bed and eat and drink everything you bring him. You're bringing him some soup and you smile when you see him all cuddled up in the covers up to his chin. His flushed face makes you pout and give him a quick peck on the forehead. "I brought you some soup, love. Feel like you can stomach it?" He nods and shifts into a sitting position, "Thank you baby." He croaks out and you smile at him encouragingly as he takes a bite.
"It's really good baby, thank you."
"You're welcome, I'm glad it's good." You crawl over him and settle down next to him in the bed, grabbing the book you're reading to him and flipping to the last page you were on.
"Ready?"
Hobi nods and smiles as leans back on the headboard, closing his eyes to pay attention to your voice as you start to read.
KIM NAMJOON:
Tumblr media
wow you're hella cute tho ok then
"No, I'm not sick. Do I look like sick? I am perfect. I am healthy."
Namjoon laughs at his own joke after answering some comments worrying about his health on Vlive. He's had a bad cold for the past few days, but he missed ARMY and wanted to talk to them all, so he decided to do a live and try his best to look like he isn't sick. Unfortunately, he isn't fooling a lot of ARMY.
"Well, it's really late here so I should be getting to bed. I love you ARMY, sleep well and good luck on your exams for those that have them! Eat and sleep well! Bye~"
Namjoon smiles and waves until he presses the 'end live' button, then he starts to cough loudly, having held it in all that time. He sneezes and grabs some tissues, miserably wiping his sore nose. "Why me? Why now?" He grumbles and crawls into bed, pulling the covers up to his chin and trying to get comfortable enough to fall asleep. Eventually, his body is so exhausted that he just passes out, sleeping fitfully the rest of the night.
The next day he wakes up to his phone ringing. He groans at the light from the sun and grabs his phone, answering it without looking at who it is.
"Hello?"
"Joonie?"
"Oh, hey Y/n! Good morning, love."
You laugh on the other side and he smiles sleepily as you talk, "Morning, babe. How are you feeling?"
"Worse."
You can practically hear his pout through the phone and you frown, "Aww, can I come see you?" Namjoon sits up and rubs his eyes, then he lets out a few painful coughs before answering, "I don't want you to get sick, babe. I'll be okay in a few more days."
"Please take care of yourself, Joon. You need to keep up your strength."
Namjoon gives you confirmation that he'll do just that, then he says goodbye so he can start his day. He's got a lot to get done today. But after he gets up, it becomes quote obvious he won't be able to focus on anything important today. A few hours later the door bell rings and he goes to check the peephole, only to see you standing there with your hands behind your back. You boyfriend opens he door and smiles at you sadly, "Honey, I said I don't want you to get sick." You step inside and hold up the bag you were carrying behind you, "I know you did, and I got a call from Seokjin saying you're staying home today because you're sick. That means it must be pretty bad. Therefore, here I am to cure you!"
He laughs at your cuteness and follows you to couch, "Well, the worst is the cough and sneezing, because it's making me dizzy. I just needed a day to rest, I guess." You smile and pat his thigh when he sits down, "Thank you for not pushing yourself Joon."
Then you pull out all your cold remedies; including medicines, herbal teas, snacks, tissues and a few good rom coms. "What should we do first?" You grin and it instantly brightens his spirits.
You two end up drinking herbal tea with your snacks while you watch a movie and cuddle up in a bunch of blankets on the couch, deciding to just have a well earned lazy day.
Namjoon laughs at the show and smiles at your cute reactions during the romance scenes, keeping the covers tucked around himself as he waits out his sickness with his favorite person.
============================
a/n: i’m tired ;-; Happy Easter to those that celebrate it :D if not, then happy day!
