I am not sure if this is true to a certain extend, but in my case, but JK's demeanor towards Jimin really reminds me of my ex-bf when we were together.
@mnijggukie This is so sad, but I guess they have been through life too, and each of them have been through their own fair share of experience that shaped their own glass today. But as fans, I can't help but feel just a little bit sad. I wish them well, especially to sweet Jimin.

Before I go to sleep, I want to share a little bit of my opinion about the relationship between Pai, North, and their grandfather. (This is purely based on my personal thoughts after watching the series)
I want to look at their relationship from two perspectives: Pai and North and their grandfather’s.
After watching the series, there’re some part of the series that kinda reminds me of lines in Moonlight Chicken, “When you decide on something for him, you think he’s too young. But when you expect him to do something, you think he’s old enough.”
And I feel like that really reflects the situation between Pai, North, and their grandfather.
Starting with North. When his grandfather controls what he should or shouldn’t do, it comes from seeing him as someone who is still young, someone who can’t fully be trusted yet. It’s a form of protection, in his grandfather’s eyes. He wants to guide North, to make sure he doesn’t make mistakes, to keep him on the “right” path. But over time, that kind of control turns into pressure. It limits North’s ability to make his own choices, to learn from his own experiences, and to trust himself. Even tho his grandfather let him to run his own business but he still didn’t trust him.
On the other hand, Pai grows up very differently. From a young age, he’s already given trust and responsibility bcs his grandfather sees him as mature and capable. Pai becomes the role model—the one who understands, the one who carries expectations, the one who doesn’t get to make mistakes. He’s trusted, yes, but that trust comes with a silent burden. He’s expected to be strong, to be understanding, even when he himself needs comfort and understanding too.
But if we look at it from the grandchildren’s perspective, the impact feels very different.
North grows up being told what to do, step by step, always compared to Pai as the “better example.” Bcs of that, he becomes someone who struggles to make his own decisions. He lacks confidence, constantly afraid of the consequences of making the wrong choice. His grandfather shows love by controlling and planning his future, but for North, that love feels suffocating, not reassuring.
Meanwhile, Pai, who has always been the “strong one,” is forced to grow up too early. He’s expected to understand everyone else, while no one really try to understand him. His grandfather trusts him deeply, but bcs of that trust, the affection becomes less visible, less felt. Pai receives responsibility instead of warmth. And ironically, that’s not what he truly needs.
In the end, it feels like their grandfather is giving what he believes is best for them but not what they actually need. His love is real, but it’s expressed in a way that creates distance instead of closeness.
And that’s what makes their relationship so painful… bcs they all care about each other, but they’re speaking different emotional languages, and none of them are truly being understood.
when people ask you what constitutes proof of love, show them yu doing the polcasan dance challenge on tiktok in the middle of the mall just to get free candy for north because they didn't have money to buy any 🥹🤣

How does a home feel like?
Is a home still a home when there's no warmth in it?
Is a home still a home when people inside wanted to get out from it?
What is the meaning of home?
I am not willing to be someone's friends with benefit anymore. I am not even interested in being someone's emotional life support.
What I want is a steady relationship. With a guy that wants me as much as I want him.
everything i receive here will go toward my dad's maintenance medication and helping pay our apartment bills to keep a roof over our heads. if you're able to support me, even in the smallest way, it would truly mean so much to us. thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
