#Cha Dusik

[iamumbra195]

One of my favourite things about Cha Dusik is how chill and kind he is. He isn't one of the many macho bastards with more pride than should be possible in the whole manhwa. Like this dude got his ass handed to him by a teenager, regretted his life for two seconds before he decided 'this kid is my favourite person now' and made sure to watch his back and protect the ppl Ijin cares about for no reason other than that he wanted to.

Plus, he's the last person you would expect to be this kind. Look at this shit!!

Idk it just warms my heart every time I see him and his buddy help out Grandpa Yu, it's so sweet I feel like teeth are rotting.

Also, the fact that he hasn't even tried to look into Ijin's background despite knowing he was lying about being a normal high schooler. He teases him about it, has pretty much given him his motorcycle, invites him out to eat kimbap and ramen randomly because he knows that's what he likes. Ijin is practically his little brother/nephew at this point and I just know that if Ijin ever calls him Hyung, he would be so fucking touched.

Murder uncle and nephew cause the Murder Bros™ was already taken by the numbers

Also, the amount of dad energy this man has in these panels is just ....

Someone wife this man up right now, he's perfect

If Cha Dushik now works for SW does that mean he checks up on Ijin while he’s working or Ijin is training.

Dusik: *tails Ijin and Dayun as soon as they left their house*

Dusik: *waits all day until Ijin and Dayun leave school*

Dusik: *waits outside the store until Ijin and Dayun is done with groceries*

Dusik: *sees Ijin send Dayun home first*

Dusik: *walks over to Ijin as he's having a stare down with some suspicious guy in hoodie* "Hey, Highschooler. Fancy seeing you here.."

Ijin had some nerves going on about wanting to find the meaning of family when he really spent 10 years out there, getting adopted by everyone and their mothers

Okay so I am two years too late. But I've watched Hometown Cha Cha Cha a million times and I rightfully have some thoughts.

Dusik is very masculine. But he's the soft kind of masculine. He subverts every trope of being a man without letting go of traditional masculinity, the kind we associate with those podcast men. And that's what is so beautiful about him. He's kind and understanding and doesn't shame or put down Hye Jin for Anything. Instead he sits and has a conversation with her and understands her viewpoint. And this especially comes through when Hye Jin is running and the grandmas are painting it as blasphemy. He talks to her like an adult capable of making her own choices instead of belittling her for wearing, what the grandmas thought of as "less clothes". Dusik shows that you can be traditionally masculine without being an asshole or embracing the more toxic parts of traditional masculinity. Like when he scolds the hardware store owner for not being there for HIS HEAVILY PREGNANT WIFE. And the fact that he is taking help for his mental health and IT IS SHOWN.

Now coming to Hye Jin. I absolutely loved her because she reminds me of myself. She's shy, a bit grumpy, introverted and is friendly... To her friends. She has trouble being with people and that shows in her actions and therefore she comes off as rude BUT THAT'S OKAY. She doesn't show her love through her words but through her actions and you can see that. And she's ambitious. She does what she needs to. She says only what she NEEDS to say and I need more female characters like that. She's not sunshine on a rainy day. And no one expects her to be and I doubt she will change and GOOD FOR HER. Her love and respect is earned. And you see that throughout the show. She slowly warms up to the people there. And she takes care of them in her own way. And even better? She does have an open mind. She's open to changes, she's open to listening and understanding. She's wise and she's kind (in her own way) and I love her for it.

They love each other like breathing. Easy and constant. Necessary for every action. Automatic. Without even noticing they’re even doing it.

Started bawling my eyes out in the episode 15-16 of hometown cha cha cha. I thought it was a rom-com and now I am learning about grief and mourning and guilt and regrets!

Well, do you think in season 1, if the criminals came way earlier when the rest of Green Home residents haven't warmed up with Hyun-su yet and still viewed him as a monster, would he follow Wui-myeong? Would he side with him? Would Wui-myeong's ideal influence him? Would he abandon the Green Home residents?

I wonder if Dusik checked soccer updates from time to time

Like he obviously loves the sport still (idk if it ever goes away) and he always secretly checks on his fav team and all. One day seonghyeon catches him doing it and turns out that he loves soccer too and he just starts talking bout it.

Then he tells him about his grandfather and all and seonghyeon is like hyejin and scolds him for thinking like that and asks if he'd want to watch the game.

Hyejin is fully on board with the idea and watches it with them, even if she doesn't understand.

And that's how Dusik regains his love for soccer 🥹🥹🥹

fate blessed me with my boyfriend who is literally aditya kashyap x hong dusik but then cursed me with years of unending long distance relationship across continents and time zones

Texts from Best Friend Number Two that made me go feral (this is about Du-sik and Hye-jin)

[dalfurawa]

i love how dusik notices all the little things about hyejin despite them always fighting and not seeing eye to eye, or how he doesn’t give up on hyejin not for her sake, but because he sees how much her words affected the townspeople and he doesn’t want them to hurt anymore

where can i find a man like that

[eatsbop]

What I'm trying to say is why is he not in his fancy sedan or something is he out collecting money is everyone on day off

word count estimation: 13k??

a/n - yes, dokyeom is inspired by hong dusik and yes, i love small town kdramas. anyways, please be patient as i hurriedly work on finishing and posting the final fic :') . comment or ask to be added to the tag list!

seokmin thinks he likes you.

he saw you practically every day. from then on, he wondered if he would ever have a bad day again as long as he saw you.

first, it was when he realized you would remember everything he said, all the small things, which was crazy because you couldn’t even remember what you had for dinner the day before.

it was a late night at the library. he had just finished tutoring his last student and you were closing the library.

seokmin had asked if you were hungry and you said no, only for you to be interrupted by the grumbling of your stomach saying otherwise. then that led to seokmin teasing you and you punching his shoulder, telling him to shut up.

so, he had ordered takeout to be delivered to the library for the both of you.

he had laid out all the side dishes for you as you unboxed the main dishes.

when you both finally sat down to eat, he has grabbed your chopsticks and split them for you, making you shy and then kick his foot gently under the table for mentioning your reaction.

what made him blush though was when he noticed you moved the dish of sliced cucumbers closer to you.

when he gave you a questioning look, you just shrugged, without even looking at him as you dug into the food, “you said you hate cucumbers.”

but it was definitely the time you were there for him when he felt the loneliest.

it was when mrs. park, the chinese restaurant owner, was a vendor at the summer festival in the next town over. she had called him when he happened to be with you.

the moment he ended the call and a cloudy look filled his eyes, you immediately picked up on it and asked what was wrong.

his words were brief. all he said was that mrs. park needed his help during a festival, but he declined, and mrs. park was not pleased.

you knew him well. you knew he hated disappointed the townspeople since it was his only job to fix their problems. but you also knew his trauma with crowded places, not that he knew you knew at the time.

so imagine his surprise when mrs. park texted him a blurry selfie the day of the festival and in that selfie was a beaming mrs. park and you in the background wearing an apron and hairnet with a dead look on your face.

“thank you for sending y/n in your place instead! she’s grumpy but a great worker!” she had texted.

seokmin had never asked you to go in his place.

a couple hours when he assumed you’d be home, he immediately called you.

“why’d you go in my place, y/n? i know you probably hated it the whole time,” he whined into the phone.

you laughed. and it comforted his soul. “why didn’t you tell me your fear of crowded places was real?”

his silence makes you sigh. “that day at the chinese restaurant with my friends, i accidentally overheard you and mrs. park talking about it. i didn’t mean to eavesdrop, i’m really sorry. and don’t feel bad for not doing something that you can’t do. it’s not your fault. if anything, let me do it.”

seokmin knows he likes you and he likes you so much that he doesn't know what to do about it.
