On their way up the stairs, Kyung-soo suddenly grabbed Tae-sub’s hand and pulled him towards the corner of the staircase. Tae-sub’s left hand held onto the edge of the wall, his long, white, and clean fingers lightly touching the cement surface. They clicked, moved, and then lifted. The shot blurred and transitioned to three roses blooming in vibrant red and yellow hues.

Finally, Kyung-soo’s mother had accepted her son and his boyfriend Tae-sub. They were all gathered at Kyung-soo’s apartment, enjoying a meal together. When Mom got up to prepare soup, Kyung-soo playfully brushed his bare feet against Tae-sub’s, giving him a teasing smile. Tae-sub responded, “Don’t.” Mom turned around and asked, “What? What did you say?” Tae-sub stuttered, “K-Kyung-soo… Kyung-soo said something.” Mom turned to Kyung-soo and inquired, “What is it that you want?” Kyung-soo calmly replied, “Nothing. Let’s have some wine.” Tae-sub quickly interjected, “No, I don’t drink.” Kyung-soo fetched two glasses, walked back to the table, and winked at Tae-sub with one eye. Feeling shy and nervous, Tae-sub glanced at Mom’s back and then turned to Kyung-soo, giving him a playful “Don’t be naughty” expression.

These two scenes are the most memorable among all the images of the two lovers together. I can’t recall how many times I’ve watched them! Every time I see those scenes, my heart races; they are incredibly beautiful and romantic! https://www.bilibili.com/video/av1045833/?spm_id_from=333.788.videocard.5

I finished watching the show two days ago, and now I’m watching it for the second time. I’ve seen all the cut videos, interviews, bloopers, behind-the-scenes footage, and music videos about them. I adore these boys, and it’s hard to put into words the feeling I have right now. I’ve tried to distract myself by watching other romantic shows and the shows featuring these two actors, but none of them can evoke the same intense affection in me. https://www.bilibili.com/video/av1045768/?spm_id_from=333.788.videocard.9

Unlike traditional boy-girl romantic films and shows, I can immerse myself in the stories and imagine my own romance. The emotions I feel cannot be replaced by ordinary love stories. I am deeply moved by Kyung-soo and Tae-sub, especially Tae-sub, who possesses a rare combination of tenderness, sensitivity, shyness, sentimentality, and bravery! https://www.bilibili.com/video/av2471565/?spm_id_from=333.788.videocard.13

When I watch their music videos or listen to the background music, I feel like I’m immersed in a world surrounded by roses, filled with pure love, genuine people, sunshine, and a clear blue sky. It’s like walking alone on a beach during sunset, sitting under a maple tree on a warm autumn day, standing atop a mountain admiring the breathtaking views, or snuggling in a warm bed on a snowy winter morning. https://www.bilibili.com/video/av12725167/?spm_id_from=333.788.videocard.12

Because of this romantic story, I have started learning the Korean language and have made an effort to understand musicals, as Song Chang-eui, the actor who plays Tae-sub, is known for his work in musical dramas. I have also been researching topics related to homosexuality, bisexuality, heterosexuality, gay culture, lesbian culture, BL (Boys’ Love), GL (Girls’ Love), and girls who enjoy BL content.

The more I delve into the background of this story, the more captivated I become by the show. However, this fascination also leaves me feeling lonely, as there is no one with whom I can share my feelings, and it becomes challenging to accurately express my emotions and mood to others.
