From my POV, I think Ayden had already come to terms with his feelings long before that moment. He knew he had fallen in love with Tongtong, not as Lu Feng falling for Yin Chen, but as Ayden himself falling for the person behind the character.
To me, that was the moment he truly stepped out of Lu Feng's shadow and acknowledged his own feelings. But knowing what he wanted didn't mean he could rush the person he loved.
What I admire most about Ayden is his patience, persistence, and determination in pursuing Elio. He was certain about his feelings and wasn't someone who would easily give up on the person he loved. Yet his persistence was never about forcing an answer. He continued showing his sincerity through his actions while respecting Tongtong's request for a cooling-off period, giving him the time and space to understand his own heart.
And this reminds me of something Ayden said during their previous livestream while reacting to Double Helix. He mentioned that when we truly love someone, we shouldn't force them to respond to our feelings immediately, unlike Lu Feng. Sometimes, loving someone means knowing when to wait, when to give them space, and allowing them to find their own answers.
What makes that moment even more meaningful to me is that he was looking at Tongtong while saying those words. 🥹
And somehow, this connects beautifully with Ayden's song Don't Cry, especially the part about a "message left unread."
To me, that image carries such a bittersweet meaning. Imagine having so much love to give, so many things you wish to say, yet not knowing when or whether the person you love will be ready to receive them.
But Ayden's patience wasn't passive. He didn't simply sit around waiting for love to happen. He remained persistent in pursuing Elio, consistently showing his sincerity and proving through his actions that his feelings weren't something temporary.
He was persistent in his love, but patient with the person he loved.
And here's the most beautiful part of their story to me.
After taking the time to sort out his feelings, Elio eventually found his own answer. He came to understand what Ayden truly meant to him, and when he was finally ready, he returned those feelings.
It wasn't simply Ayden's persistence that brought them together. Elio had his own emotional journey too. He needed time to distinguish the feelings that belonged to Yin Chen from those that belonged to himself, and to understand that what he felt for Ayden was something real beyond their characters.
And when he finally chose Ayden, it wasn't because he was pressured or persuaded into love. It was because his own heart had found its answer.
That's what makes their story so meaningful to me. One person was certain of his love from the beginning, while the other needed time to understand his. Neither journey was any less sincere.
Ayden never stopped choosing Elio, even while giving him the freedom to find his own answer. And Elio, once he understood his heart, chose Ayden in return.
One patiently held on to his feelings, while the other slowly found his way towards the same love. And eventually, they chose each other.
Perhaps that's why their relationship feels so precious. Their love wasn't built on a fleeting moment or simply the chemistry of two fictional characters. It grew through patience, persistence, understanding, and, most importantly, a mutual choice to love each other.
And looking at where they are today, especially after their first anniversary, somehow makes that entire journey even more beautiful.
Because in the end, Ayden wasn't the only one who fell in love. Elio fell in love with him too. 🧡

@aeccesspassph Don't worry admin, Singapore is very strict in terms of law that the moment sasaengs follow them they will immediately get reported by bystanders and sent to the police station for jail.

@hannawithanh_ The superclub group will literally start a major fight (we call it as pillow fight🙄) - either something major negative happens and everyone stops fighting and united to fight it/Aylio gives out content and everyone focuses on it
@hannawithanh_ So the procedure is always like this: Untrue rumours are built from Douban- Some dumb ppl literally like screenshot and post on Weibo - the red V ppl write posts like intentionally drawing negative attention and their followers will start to stir the fandom (tbh)
One thing i love about #khemjira series is She is literally antagonist, we were supposed to hate her but the way directors portrayed the story, we all sympathize with her, i haven't seen a single person hating on her despite being the main villain.
