How Bum Geon Woo communicates through his body language (Plus how he's actually giving the special treatment Eui Joon's been yearning for)

I reread DCS for, like, the tenth time now. Yes, I'm obsessed ohmygod! I'm liking how these two characters are written so far. I originally wanted to break down just Chapters 20-24 of DCS because the first time I read it I got just a little annoyed with how Geon Woo (a.k.a. Ahjussi) was, let's say, just kind of pushing Euijoon's limits. But I ended up doing more than just Chapters 20-24. Dios mio.

I was just a little tired of seeing the same trend with guys in manhwa. They always seem to be domineering, especially if their partner is the "sweet and naive" archetype. (Eui Joon, I think, does not really fit into this mold.) Of course, that's usually because they're dealing with their own issues, and I don't really blame them.

But I like DCS because it justified that kind of behavior in Geon Woo when he was having sex with Eui Joon (in Chapters 20-24, particularly). Lol I'm probably the only one who realized this later than I should have ehehe. I'm still posting this tho.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD‼️‼️

His antics speak volumes. It's amazing how I missed all those details just because the sex scenes were. Steamy. As. Fuck. Good lordy! Geon Woo is definitely a man of few words (He once said Eui Joon makes him talk like he would for a whole year, haha!), so it would make sense to communicate whatever's going through his mind in a situation through body language.

I also want to add the times that he makes the effort to hold a conversation with Eui Joon. Geon Woo doesn't really talk when he doesn't need to, so it's important to pay attention to his actions.

Chapters 0-12

The first time we get a glimpse of Geon Woo's side of the story was when Eui Joon finally confesses to the person who's been his crush for 3 effing years, Hyeon Woo. Eui Joon is inexplicably happy when Hyeon Woo says he'll consider and comes to the convenience store in good spirits. Geon Woo, keen as always, notices, and when Eui Joon tells him what happened this is what we get:

It's the way it was framed. How we see his reaction from behind rather than from the front. He turns away, seeming to go inward and brood once again.

Afterwards, another gangster comes. The guy challenges Geon Woo for taking too long at the front of the line. Geon Woo asks Eui Joon if he smokes, and when he replies that he doesn't, Geon Woo "borrows" the lighter on the countertop and uses that to throw a stronger punch to the man behind him, who temporarily falls unconscious. Geon Woo turns back to Eui Joon, seeming to have something else to say. But he sees the frightened look on Eui Joon's face and decides to keep it to himself before leaving through the door.

"And..." He pauses, turning to Eui Joon. "... Never mind. Good work."

JUST WHAT WAS HE ABOUT TO SAY?!?!?!

In the succeeding panel, Eui Joon is nonplussed. He wonders out loud, "What is happening?" Couldn't have said it better, girl. Geon Woo was just taking out his frustration and he had the perfect opportunity at the moment.

The second time was when Geon Woo invites Eui Joon to drink after the incident with Hyeon Woo (who basically asks Eui Joon to cheat with him and inebriates him—probably with the intention to take advantage of him). From the side stories, we learn that Geon Woo has taken an interest in Eui Joon after seeing him for the second time, and when he comes by through the hallway—finally discovering they were neighbors—and witnesses the two, he sees it as a chance with Eui Joon.

He invites Eui Joon out to drink, after Eui Joon's suggestion for a dinner at 2 in the morning fails to entice him. Eui Joon rambles his questions away, wanting to get to know him better, but Geon Woo doesn't immediately answer and catches him off guard when he "casually" inquires after his sexuality. Not the smoothest move there, lol, but in the side stories we see that wasn't really his intention.

"Damn it, why did I ask that question? It just slipped out..."

He answers Eui Joon's questions afterwards, surprising Eui Joon with the fact that he's actually been listening to what he's been saying for the past minute. We're starting to see just what kind of a person he is (Listening skills are always a plus in my book).

A little later, we see them on their way back to the apartment. Eui Joon asks Geon Woo to tell him anything interesting because he's been the one talking all night. Geon Woo acquiesces, asking a question that may have been part in consideration of Eui Joon's vulnerable state, and perhaps also part due to the possibility that he worried about him.

"Come to think of it... School has already started. Isn't it tiring to work 'til dawn? Aren't you working too much?"

Geon Woo's face is a little hard to read. So every subtle change in his expression says something. If you read the manhwa, you'll see the slightest bit of concern in his eyes. It's hard to catch until you've read the side stories (at least for me, haha).

One more thing I like about Geon Woo is that he doesn't meddle when it's not his business. He knows the state of Eui Joon's family—their inability to afford his college tuition, his hospitalized brother—and he knows he can help. I mean, I don't know how wealthy and powerful he is as a gangster but he probably has the means to. But he rarely opens the topic to Eui Joon.

Aaaand onto Chapter 8! Just before the first sex scene in the entire series. Eui Joon is crying because he had a shitty day both at school and at work, poor thing—all because of Hyeon Woo. He cries even more when he notices that Geon Woo, who came to the store every day, didn't come to the store that day. When he encounters him outside, he breaks down, catching Geon Woo off guard.

Geon Woo tells his lackey to leave and asks Eui Joon to stay. Eui Joon tells him he was fine and proceeds to go back to his room, but Geon Woo frightens him when he says he was already being nice. And then we get this:

"Ah, I don't mean it that way... Just a while."

That gentle tug is honestly so uncharacteristic of the usual ruffian behavior we often see from Geon Woo. It's a nice sweet detail that proves what he says in Chapter 26 (when he finally confesses) that he treats Eui Joon differently from others.

Eui Joon cries his heart out to Geon Woo, and Geon Woo just lets him. Afterwards, Eui Joon resolves to forget about Hyeon Woo. By finding someone, hmm, more physically endowed.

"I must find someone more good-looking than him. With a nicer body... And a bigger dick!"

Clueless guy basically described the man beside him.

To that, Geon Woo says:

"How long have you known me? You really dare to say anything like that in front of me?"

Which comes off as slightly hostile at first. The next panel shows a dark aura surrounding Geon Woo, which Eui Joon interprets as distress from his implications of doing it with him—whose sexual preference so far remains ambiguous (In the side stories, we learn that Geon Woo himself struggles with figuring this out.). But then, he surprises Eui Joon when he slowly leans in to kiss him.

CUE SEX SCENE! I pitied Eui Joon a little because he wasn't really in the best state when Geon Woo offered this. In Geon Woo's defense, though, from the moment he found out that Eui Joon was gay he saw doors opening. When Eui Joon said something like that, I think his attraction to Eui Joon finally caught up to him and he couldn't resist the opportunity. He definitely wasn’t distressed by the implication of Eui Joon’s words; he was distressed by the decision he had to make—to go through that door or not. Because he knew he wanted it, even though he was constantly denying it from the start.

“This dirty thought wasn’t something that I have planned from the beginning.”

The day after, Eui Joon is a little rattled. He doesn’t know how to treat Geon Woo after that—not when he realized that sex could be that hot and satisfying (uwu). Geon Woo appears to be unaffected while Eui Jon’s brain is in knots about everything. But the questions Geon Woo asks tell us that he’s beginning to show Eui Joon a little emotion. He asks to see Eui Joon’s face to inspect the healing bruise he got yesterday (the one that Geon Woo covered with a bandaid—which was so sweet, huhu). And then, he asks if he was tired after school.

“Let me see your face.”

“School classes. Are you tired after taking them?”

From my perspective, he wasn’t just asking for the sake of being nice to the person he slept with. The story still hasn’t covered much of Geon Woo’s history to know whether he had been like this with his previous partners. Although there was a moment in Chapter 27 during one of their conversations when he gave us a little glimpse:

Geon Woo: It's normal to cry over pathetic things at your age. Eui Joon: Have you cried like that before too? Geon Woo: No. Eui Joon: Then how do you know that? Geon Woo: I just... know. Because there was a guy like that around.

From the time Geon Woo invited him out to drink, I think Geon Woo was genuinely concerned when he asked how Eui Joon was doing.

Chapters 13-26

Geon Woo's love language, I think, is his actions. He fights off the gangsters that bully Eui Joon into giving them discounts or even paying for them from his own pockets so they won't have to. He gives Eui Joon food and medicine when he finds out he was sick (the morning after having sex with him in the car for hours, lol). He likes taking care of the person he likes. So in Chapter 26, when he "confesses" to Eui Joon, that was Geon Woo pointing out that he's been doing the same thing all along.

"I mean, look at me just once... What kind of person I am. How I treat you. Take a good look at it. If you think that I'm good, then pick me. If not, you can throw me aside." "But. Before you do, you should understand this. Until then, I don't intend to let you get away."

This "non-confession" (he actually tells Eui Joon it wasn't a confession) actually says a lot about Geon Woo. His attitude towards their relationship is very blunt and straightforward. Once he's made a decision, he stops listening to his doubts and stands by it. I don't really know when Geon Woo decided that he liked Eui Joon. It was more slow-growing. In the side stories though, we see him considering this big-time when this thought crosses his mind:

"There's the common phrase of having the opportunity to meet your fateful love. If there's a sign for it, would it be possible to stay vigilant?"

AHJUSSI YOU SOFT-HEARTED ROMANTIC I CAN'T T^T He becomes more bold with Eui Joon afterwards, but he's still a little prickly. He's constantly weighing his options, trying to figure out in what way will doing the things he does for Eui Joon benefit him, if at all. In Chapter 13, when a customer comes inside the store and forces Eui Joon to pay for what he bought, he's on the scales. But then the memory of that morning flashes through his mind, and he remembers how the simple act of Eui Joon giving him his number had made him smile like an idiot. He beats the customer for him, taking the money he owed, and gives it back to Eui Joon. He even manages to casually ask him out on a date. The guy can be smooth as fuck.

Eui Joon: Are you saying... we should eat together? Geon Woo: Sure. I guess I've done something worth compensating. Will you give me my reward?

Take notes, people! At this point, Eui Joon has gotten him wrapped around his finger, and he didn't even know it! Of course, Eui Joon still thinks their relationship is only purely sexual, but then Geon Woo begins doing these uncharacteristically tender gestures that Eui Joon initially interprets as Geon Woo giving him special treatment.

"Let me see your face." "School classes. Are you tired after them" "I'm thinking that... You'll look good in short hair, too."

And Geon Woo even tries to initiate a conversation with Eui Joon when he feels like Eui Joon couldn't take the awkwardness. A good example was when Geon Woo treats him dinner at the restaurant.

"...." "Is this your first time coming to this kind of place?"

Somehow, these things he does still feel kind of forced, like he was genuinely annoyed at Eui Joon and everything he did. Even when he asks to do it with him again and Eui Joon refuses because he was still sore, there was a moment of frustration that shone through.

It was a sign that Geon Woo was still confused about the things he was feeling towards Eui Joon. He knew he wanted him physically, but then he doesn't take up the woman's offer that evening after Eui Joon refuses him. It wasn't actually written on paper, but knowing Geon Woo's character he might have felt uneasy about going through with it. Not particularly on Eui Joon's behalf, but it may have been unconscious because of his budding feelings.

His feelings were something that rattled him, and he was usually undeterred in any kind of situation. What rattled him more was that Eui Joon didn't know anything about what he was going through.

"Being naturally attracted to you, and going through unfamiliar emotions. This feeling should only be felt at an adolescent age."

We're seeing him from behind again. The use of this perspective in manhwas / mangas / comics usually makes you feel like can't tell what the character's thinking about, but most importantly that they're most likely about to go do or SAY SOMETHING DAMN IMPORTANT. Like, maybe, telling their feelings to the person they like!?!?!

"Eui Joon-Ah. I like you."

ASDFGHJKL DID ANYONE SEE THAT COMING?!?!?!

That actually surprised me hella lot. I'd originally thought Geon Woo was the tsundere type, but he was more honest with his feelings than I believed. However, he hadn't been completely convinced by these feelings until Eui Joon had offered to break it off. Suddenly there was an exit to his situation, but he didn't really feel happy about it. He was frustrated at not being able to properly understand what his words made him feel. Because the truth was he didn't want to break things off. He just wouldn't admit to himself at the time that the reason was he actually wanted Eui Joon.

We could see him debating it himself, poor thing:

"I didn't expect myself to be in a situation where I couldn't even understand my own feelings. I should've figured it out the moment I couldn't understand my sexual preference. I'm not that young anymore... What is this?" "No... It could also be a spur of the moment... It doesn't seem to be like that. It might also be due to pride, but I feel it's not necessary for these kinds of feelings to affect my pride... But even when it's like this, I still want to..."

Geon Woo decides to "have a little fun" before conceding to Eui Joon's request to "end their entanglement". But I've noticed that whenever something bothers Geon Woo too much, he takes a smoke. When Eui Joon makes the suggestion, Geon Woo does just that.

The slightly rough way in which Geon Woo treats him afterwards shows his frustration. He grabs his arm roughly and pulls him towards the car, but he doesn't realize he was hurting Eui Joon's wrist with his own watch until Eui Joon whines in pain—at which point Geon Woo just laces his hand through his instead. Which I thought was so sweet T^T

When Eui Joon freaks out about doing it at the school where he studies and asks Geon Woo to consider it for him, Geon Woo says, "Do I have to consider that for you too?" And when Eui Joon asks for him to do that, Geon Woo replies, "I guess I've been too nice to you." THE MAN WAS FREAKING FRUSTRATED!!! Geon Woo even challenges him to stay quiet, telling him no one will hear them if he does. Throughout the whole thing, Geon Woo wanted to dominate him, daring him to take what pleasure he could give him, but with an aggression that bespeaks the storm in his heart and mind. Reading it back, I realized just how damn hot that scene was. I mean, goddamn. After Geon Woo admits his feelings, there's a serenity about him afterwards. He no longer has to second-guess taking care of Eui Joon or expressing what he felt towards him. He gives him food and medicine the next day since he caught a fever. He "invites himself" to watch a movie with him since they both had nothing to do for the rest of the day. The guy was basically courting Eui Joon, haha. Not a confession, my ass XD

And then, when Eui Joon opens up about how he rejected Hyeon Woo, Geon Woo tells him he'll also wait for him for around three years T^T

MY HEART I CAN'T T ^ T ☙ ☙ ☙ ☙ ☙ So that's kiiind of a long breakdown. I included as little pictures as possible. Copyright and all that. I just really like this series so far. I want to be able to read the original someday. Hopefully I'd be able to learn Korean T^T. If you like this as much as I do, chat me up =D would love to hear other thoughts.

》  Yaku babeyyyy

》  Like plans date night and always tries to have them weekly or else he’ll get kinda sad if he misses a week.

》  God help.

》  He does the thing where he opens the door for you. Actually. He doesn’t let you open doors. He believes that you are a queennnnnnnnnn and should not need to do useless things such as opening doors.

》  Loves having your hands on his face. Like on his cheek where he can kiss your knuckles. They’re so warm uwu

》  Akaashi likes schedules so he will like to follow a routine for each day, but with you, he will throw away any reason for it out. 

》  Sundays are especially lazy days. Just wants to hold you against him and absorb your warmth. Has hands on your hips and his breath tickling the back of your neck as he takes in the scent of your hair.

》  Cooking dates? Cooking dates.

》  He’s not the best at cooking but he isn’t the worst. Just wants an excuse to eat your food and have a fun time with you.

》  Likes to have quiet time with you.

》  Has you laying on his chest, on your phone or watching the TV while he’s emersed in a book.

》  Akaashi with glasses :eyes:

》  He’s more of a soft and wholesome feel kind of guy.

》  Unlike Bokuto, who would just yell and bring you to exciting and lively places, Akaashi would much more enjoy watching the stars with you under a blanket.

》  He sends you “Good morning” and “Good night” texts every day and doesn’t forget to make you feel like the happiest girl in the world.

》  It’s not surprising to get random texts of affirmations from Akaashi. He wants to let you know how much he loves you.

》  He would be that type of boyfriend who wouldn’t restrict you of what you wear but like if you wore a crop top and it would ride up when you raised your arms, he would pull down your shirt and makes sure no one is staring.

》  Akaashi is quite sensible so arguments hardly occur but they happen and he will instantly regret whatever he said of did.

》  Will want to quickly mend the issue and talks to you, sincerely apologizes, and might even add in a gift or two to really seal the deal.

》  He doesn’t like it when you guys go to bed angry either and will try his best to make the mood lighter.

》  Kisses you like the world is ending every single time.

》  Holds on to you as if you’ll melt any second.

Moody Michael

Jeremy and Michael were getting fed up. They had been stuck on a level for an hour and a half, and they were exasperated. Jeremy was read to take a break and suggested they play a different game. "How about Call of Duty?" he tried. Michael sighed in defeat. "Alright fine, but only because of those STUPID FUCKING ZOMBIES!" he screamed in anger, flopping around on his beanbag, his controller flying from his hands. Jeremy snickered, "Alright dude chill," he said as he put the game in the console. Michael grabbed his controller and settled down, ready to release his fury. "Let's play against each other this time," Jeremy offered and Michael shrugged. "I'm cool with that." The game begun and they instantly started searching for each other on the game, guns at he ready. "Oh Jeremy, where are you? Don't you wanna play with your best friend?" Michael taunted, searching behind every large object he found, looking for his friend. "Dude seriously how did you get inside? I'm outside the building where I think you're hiding, but I can't find the entrance." "Maybe that's because I'm just a better gamer than you," he teased, nudging him in the ribs. "You're WHAT?" Michael yelled as he kicked down the door, entering the large building. He laughed maniacally as Jeremy screamed. "HAHAHAHA! Come out come out wherever you are!" He looked in every doorway, searching. "You can run but you can't hide!" "Obviously that's a lie seeing as how you haven't found me," Jeremy snarked. "Oh you are asking for it! UwU what's this?" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH FUCK SHIT NO GET AWAY!" Jeremy let out an ear piercing shriek when Michael found him crouching in a corner of a dark room. He instantly started shooting at him and tried to run away. "I got my eyes on you!" he sang as he lined him up in his sights and began firing relentlessly. "Gah! I'm dying stop!" he pleaded, but it fell on deaf ears. "You were the one who wanted to play against each other," Michael justified his cruel actions. "Yeah, only 'cause I forgot you're a dick when we do that," he mumbled under his breath. "You probably thought I wouldn't hear that, but I did. So guess what I'm gonna do?!" he exclaimed happily, launching a grenade and running away. "Dude what the hell?" Jeremy cried out as his character was blown up, ending the game. Michael let out a breath, shoulders relaxing into the beanbag, "Ah man, I needed that. That zombie game had really worked me up and I needed to let some anger out." Jeremy snorted, "I'll say! What you did was totally unfair." "All's fair in love, war, and video games," he replied smugly, intertwining his hands behind his head. Jeremy saw the perfect opportunity and took it, pouncing on top of his friend and straddling his waist. "AH! Jeremy!" he glared at him, but there was no real malice to it if the growing smile on his face was any indication. Jeremy smirked, placing one hand on his knee. Michael tried to jerk away, "Remove the hand before I remove it for you." Jeremy tilted his head in consideration before promptly shaking it. "Nah, you deserve this. You're definitely too moody and I think a good dose of laughter is just what you need!" He started squeezing the kneecap and the other boy screeched, arching his back and falling into a fit of laughter. His other hand wandered up to scribble at his soft stomach, causing Michael to double over in an effort to try and protect himself. "See? You're already in a lighter mood, I think it's working!" Michael thrashed around in his hysterics, "Nohohohoho!" "No?" Jeremy tilted his head in thought, shaking his head, "Well then I just need to try harder," he said, a slightly evil smirk spreading over his features. Michael shrieked, "Dohohon't you dahahare!" "You shouldn't have thrown that grenade at me," he quipped, pinching up and down his sides. Michael was practically convulsing, it tickled so bad. He formed his hands into claws, vibrating into his belly. "ShIT DUDE I'm sohohohohorry!" he immediately apologized, hoping to be shown a bit of mercy. "Thank you, but I'm still gonna keep tickling you," he said, laughing at the way Michael cried out and doubled his efforts for escape. "This is waaaay too much fun to stop. And I have the upper hand for once!" Jeremy cheered. Michael was going mad underneath Jeremy, and he wouldn't be able to stand it much longer. "Alright I'll stop, but first I wanna give you a taste of your own medicine," he said, beginning to role up Michael's shirt. "Dahahahamnit nohohoho," he giggled, weakly trying to fight him off. "You always to this to me so it's only fair if I do it to you," he justified. He took a deep breath before placing his lips right below his belly button, producing a loud fart noise mixed with Michael's hysterical laughter. His body went limp, succumbing fully to the ticklish waves wracking his body. "There, all done," Jeremy said happily, beaming with pride. Michael sat up straight, fixing his clothes and hair. "You're an ass." Jeremy simply shrugged, "Yeah, I know. But so are you." Michael rolled his eyes, "Whatever man, let's just get back to the game before I change my mind and decide I want my revenge."
