Oh this is giving "last Christmas I gave you my heart" 😭❤️ (not Christmas ik but close enough)
You know, this post was deleted from the drafts and I thought that maybe it’s not without reason and that it’s not worth posting at all, BUT I HAVE TO SHARE IT OR I WILL GO CRAZY. The most farfetched thing ever:
In the new chapter, we don't see Shin-Ae's heart. Instead, it's darkness. At first I thought that this symbolizes "she does not understand what is happening, therefore we do not know what is happening with the heart either. Mystery. "
Then I read a couple of comments about Nolan stealing more than just a bandanna. And then I thought about this:
Nolan didn't steal Shin-Ae's heart. She herself voluntarily gave it to him. And I think this happened at this moment:
Before giving him a gift (one is specifically in the middle of his chest), she firstly holds this BLACK MYSTIC BACKPACK, also at chest level, but HERS
She didn't even look when she gifted stuff. At first she thought that the gift she wanted to give was nothing special. And even said
But do you know WHICH GIFT IS ONE OF THE MOST VALUED IN THE HOSPITALS? ORGANS!! (It's actually life (but Nessa gave it to him) and also blood (but you know, Rand))
SO in this case it's a heart. One of the coolest presets if you ask me.
And maybe that's why Nolan is so angry (he has enough reasons, but this +1). Well, you know ... "you gave me your heart and you don't even realize it. Who gives gifts without even looking at all?. Make sure you understand what's going on and what have you done."
And "convince me" as well.
Soooo that's all... thank you for reading and please don't take that seriously.
It’s no secret that everything about the state of ILY since the Christmas party has been my absolute catnip, everything I’ve waited for and wanted to see. We’ve had delicious flashbacks and peeks into the past, we’ve been indulged with Nol and Kousuke going head to head, the reveals of how Kousuke has been manipulated and drugged, and yes, Nol’s return into his friend’s lives. Quimchee has been delivering something that I didn’t anticipate we’d get for a long time yet - I thought so much of Nol and Shinae’s relationship was being set up for the future, that it wouldn’t take root until then, and yet.
And yet.
Ages ago I wrote about the foundations of Stalkyoo, how so much of the framework for their potential feelings and relationship had been carefully laid for feelings to begin to sprout and bloom, anticipating that it would not be until after Nol returns from prison, maybe even until after the timeskip, that those feelings would show themselves. What a fool I was! How could I anticipate that we’d be seeing them so soon, like this?!
Someone on reddit asked at what point did Stalkyoo begin - the feelings, us shipping, when it began to feel real and possible, and finally I was able to put the words together, to really begin this post that I’ve been dying to make. (This post is an expansion of my response on reddit, hehe)
