#Dense Kim Dokja

[kimdokja-real]

He is Kim Dokja, reincarnated.

That's why he was Yoo Joonghyuk.

Just read the ORV manhwa latest chapter. I KNOW what's coming next. Bye . High Road is nice place to sleep tonight. By the way just so that everyone joins me

May you all find peace in suffering. Goodbye.

[mae-i-scribble]

I'm doing a very slow reread of orv with some friends, but since I can't talk about my spoilerous rambles with them too much I have decided to make a post here to get my thoughts out. Up to chapter 25, I've been surprised by the amount of little hints we're already getting for larger plot points and the things that are recontextualized now that I'm looking with hindsight rather than experiencing it for the first time, which really speaks to how phenomenally written orv is on a fundamental level. By the time we get to the 3rd scenario, we've had Dokja mention his mother once, when he briefly worries over her safety. Then we get this line:

"I looked around at the people. The first scenario was original sin. Thus, none of the people here were innocent. That made it more disgusting. Those who trampled on someone else to survive, who couldn’t even bear responsibility for their own life."

Of course it's firstly talking about the lack of morality in this world, when faced with the truth that between the major and minor groups of Gumho station, one fact makes them equal: they are all murderers. The use of the phrase "the original sin" caught my eye because when looking at Dokja's life, murder is his original sin- the murder of his father. That is what sparks the events leading up to this point. It is the true original sin of this world. However, that being followed by "That made it more disgusting...who couldn't even bear responsibility for their own life," is rather hypocritical in that regard. We have no way of knowing exactly how much of that night Dokja remembers at this point of the story, so there are 2 ways to interpret this in regards to his father's murder. 1) Dokja does not remember that he murdered his father, but remembers that his mother had taken responsibility for her crime and served her sentence. In regards to here the people of the minor are far inferior because they cannot adapt the way Sookyung did to their crime. 2) Dokja does remember that he murdered his father, and this disgust is equally leveled at himself, because he knows his mother is innocent but that she took responsibility from Dokja. Thus Dokja of back then is just like these people, unable to take responsibility for his crime.

Then, later on, we see the text, and Dokja specifically, focus on this particular pairing in the minor group.

"The people started to move. All in all, they were people who had already killed. “M-Mother!” “Dayoung, come here! Do this! Just like what you did on the subway with Mother!” Children and mothers."

Then in Chapter 25 we have:

"I honestly admired that the mother and child survived the bloody fight. If she had that much strength, they might be able to survive without going with us."

The English translation doesn't exactly lend itself to identifying the gender of the child, and I am miserably monolingual so I'm not sure if the original text specifies Dayoung's gender, but for thematic reasons I'm choosing to imagine them as a mother/son paring. In that regard, Dokja choosing to notice them out of everyone else, when he's an extremely apathetic person in these early chapters who doesn't care much for those not directly related to him or the story/his survival is very notable. I can't help but think he sees himself in that, as both the son of a murderer and a murderer himself. It's also notable that when complimenting the pair, he only focuses on the mother's strength. Which like. The subconscious projection is so real. To Dokja the child didn't do anything it seems, it's only because of the mother's strength that they will be able to live on. I'm sure I will be back to add more info on this as I trudge through the novel because Dokja and Sookyung's relationship makes me mentally ill all the time but for now I shall simply lay down and ponder(tm)

[chai-en-kaadhale]

thinking about how kim dokja probably didn't see most of kimcom as actual people so much as characters until well into the story (like past 73rd demon world arc *at least*)

like it was probably something like "oh yeah these people are real now" but he still applied twsa's characterization to them except side characters are flatter in comparison to actual people and even yjh's character goes through so much change throughout ten years that 3rd round yjh is probably slightly unrecognizable to kdj i.e. subconsciously an "oh yea these people are real now but they're not real people per se they're real characters" also as skilled as hsy was theres absolutely no way she could capture every single version of every single character across almost two thousand regressions (that she entirely wrote at unholy hours of the night)

like coming from ye olde webtoon days when i thought "awww found family" and i didnt notice things as much and i didnt notice how self aware orv is it's like "hmm yes found family sounds about right" but to the main character himself the found family wasn't a family for a SOLID portion of the novel because they had to have been recognized as people first

[queseraphita]

Scum Villian and Omniscient Reader walking that fine line being Kim Dokja didn't end up in a stallion novel

[deimos-the-wolf]

I have the feeling that Kim Dokja would kin Wei Wuxian so hard.

[requiredsoup101]

Okay, so I’m in the middle of reading ORV, and (spoilers) can I just say I love how Kim Dokja just hasn’t dealt with the whole ‘be killed by the person he loves most’ and the person who killed him was Yoo Joonghyuk. Like, they had a whole moment, and I know there’s no main romance, but like. How. How do you fight somebody because they want to die for you, and you want to die for them, and you die in their arms, after being prophecized to be killed by the person you love most, and you just blow it off. How do you convince someone to live for you, sacrifice yourself for them, and then just ‘haha, this never would have happened in the original’.

And then you turn around, find another character with a “wall”, just like you, say you just have to be brave enough to face it, and then just keep on skipping.

Like. Has anybody introduced this man to the idea of a narrative foil? Has he had a single thought about literary analysis in his entire life? Or personal relationships? Anything?

I think there is a wisdom stat in this game, I just think Kim Dokja has been permanently barred from knowing about it’s existence because he has a permanent feature of “Dense as a Brick”

[mrynnn]

Kim Dokja and Han Sooyoung ship

When I read the novel I used to ship Joongdok and thought Han Sooyoung loved Kim Dokja by the end of the novel. Now that I’m rereading the novel to enjoy the side stories thoroughly, I don’t think Han Sooyoung’s love is unrequited. The signs are subtle but I think Kim Dokja is also at least slightly interested in her. after Kim Dokja and Han Sooyoung’s first parting (when HSY ran away leaving her avatar corpse) I could feel Dokja’s panic and sadness at that moment before he could think and Han Sooyoung’s expectations and thoughts on meeting him in the future (that was the first of it)

There was also that time when Kim Dokja was missing Han Sooyoung mid scenario soon after. The two were clearly interested with each other from the beginning and had some sort of tension. While Han Sooyoung’s feelings were comparatively more evident in the novel, we should agree that by the end that she did have some feelings for Dokja. As for Dokja, that dense bastard who didn’t even consider that his companions loved him and even when they showed clear affection towards him, he would get helpless as to how to respond to their affection, I doubt he actually caught on to Han Sooyoung’s feelings for him and actually started liking her without realising it himself, plus all the WOS coming to life and scenarios one after the another, I doubt he even had the time to care about who he has feelings for (and even if he did, his fourth wall or even his own personality would try to self rationalise to convince it to be something else)

The whole Kaizenix arc, the promise between Sooyoung and Dokja that Dokja wanted to read a 3000 chapter romance novel she wrote , the epilogue chapters, the 1863rd arc and literally every arc where both Kim Dokja and Han Sooyoung play a major part and actually spend time together they have some tension between them. Personally, I like their relationship a lot and I think it plays a major part in the story, way bigger then some might realise other like realise cause yk… a female character getting between the more popular male x male ship…

The romance aspect of the story is really vague (except Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung, Hades and Persephone and Yoo Joonghyuk and Lee Seolhwa, even 999 Uriel and 999 Yjh)

in general but you cannot turn a blind eye to their relationship.

At the end what do y’all think ??

[sylveaugust]

Spoiler alert for a whole lot of ORV Vol 2

How hopelessly DENSE Kim Dokja is about YJH’s Punisher form is my Roman Empire. Plus how desperately YJH tries to hide it.

Like, KDJ’s first reaction was ‘I cannot possibly describe how this lady looks except: Her face would slap YJH three times. Why’s she lookin at me like that?’

And those constellations (especially Uriel) are just like, “WHA-NO-did he just- how does he NOT KNOW-wait-no-LOKIIIII!”

And Loki’s like:😏

And a few minutes later yjh gets asked about the punisher and just says “I tried to recruit her. She refused.”

And that “TURN OFF DOKJA’S SCREEN BIYOO(I’M TRYNA TURN INTO A GIRL)”

And in that fight with the sun god yjh turns on his punisher form and does this midfight to hide that he’s a girl(and kdj totally falls for it)

And later on kdj, while literally carrying yjh’s female body, looks at it and thinks: “bro fought so hard his bONe StrUcTUre ChANgEd” I mean dude, that’s a literal “smaller yjh with wider hips and um, ‘swollen’ breasts” and you still DO NOT KNOW.

Like, bro. Seriously?

[bidokja]

kim dokja gets so upset, so distraught, about the idea of yoo joonghyuk dying and there are...there are layers here. ever so many thin and delicate layers stacked so densely together they look solid, but which rip apart at the barest touch, and their scattering pieces are so beautiful and sad and

remember. how kim dokja tells himself that he doesn't want yoo joonghyuk to regress because he isn't sure what will happen to the story - the timeline - without the protagonist in it. remember in the 10th main scenario, when yoo joonghyuk tells kim dokja that this current world won't end if yoo joonghyuk regresses. when he says don't worry, i made sure, i asked, and the world won't end. and of course the layer here is "you won't die if i die (you can live if i die (you can live without me))."

but kim dokja doesn't get it. he doesn't get it he doesn't. what do you mean you asked? what do you mean it won't matter? this is the best way? for what? for who? what about you? and of course the layer here is "what about me (what about you (what about me-))?"

because that's just the thing isn't it. yoo joonghyuk existing is the reason kim dokja is alive. more specifically, it's the fact that yoo joonghyuk exists where kim dokja can see (can read) him. so if yoo joonghyuk isn't there anymore, where does that leave him? where does that leave kim dokja, in this world?

yoo joonghyuk tell's kim dokja he'll be fine if he dies, but kim dokja knows that isn't true. he knows it, feels it, even if he doesn't say it. it's no wonder that he makes sure this never comes to pass. no wonder he risks ejection from the scenarios, when to him that's far less of a risk than the alternative. kim dokja never learned how to live without yoo joonghyuk.

why you should read Mystic Prince if you enjoyed ORV

Mystic Prince / Prince of Myolyeong (묘령의 황자) is a fantasy and action-adventure manhwa with art & story by Aheuredal (아흐레달) and in my humble opinion, an absolute hidden gem. it's literally one the best manhwas i've ever read (among the top 2) and i've finally gathered my thoughts enough to try to articulate why i love it so much, and hopefully convince you to give it a chance!

here's the official summary on webtoon:

An immortal emperor rules the Kingdom of Yeol, a divine country blessed by gods with awesome powers. After a thousand years of peaceful rule, the time has come for a new emperor to be chosen. This is determined by a series of trials, in which twenty princes with special powers who have trained since birth must compete. As all princes of varying personalities and agendas gather to partake in the trials, intrigue and possibly even bloodshed seem all but certain. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to the other princes, the Fourth Prince Jeok-yeon Ryu hides a secret he must guard with his life.

anyway i literally made a carrd for this, that's how much i care about this manhwa and i worked very hard on it!! you can find the carrd here*

(* also if you hate daily pass like me pls note that there's a fan translation as well! just keep in mind that some episodes have ost but you can find the links to youtube on the carrd as well. but if you enjoy it please do try to leave likes, comments, and a good rating on webtoon to support the creator!)

Mystic Prince is incredibly unique in terms of story and execution that i can't really compare it to anything else but here's why i think you'll enjoy it, especially if you also liked orv:

strong-willed MC who's not naturally skilled but works extremely hard

said MC is willing to suffer and hurt themselves to achieve their goals (aka kim dokja-esque tendencies)

seemingly cold and aloof ML with yoo joonghyuk vibes at first, naturally gifted and seems to look down on everyone

...but is actually head over heels for MC and just doesn't know how to express his feelings

ensemble cast of incredibly complex and well-developed characters with different personalities and motivations

MC seems a little dense at times but they have a tragic backstory that explains why they're Like That

incredibly bisexual vibes !! like literally off the charts

slowburn romance that is cooking up such a great meal

MC and ML have actually known each other for centuries

characters go through trials that involve risking death

extremely unique lore and world-building

i said ML before but there are actually multiple potential MLs with how much complexity all the character dynamics have

beautiful character designs (literally over 10+ within the main cast and they're all so unique)

evocative writing and heartfelt monologues that seem taken out of a book of pure poetry

narratively significant motifs of fire and water (à la orv's black/white and reader/protagonist)

profound and realistic depiction of the inner feelings and troubles that the characters go through

incredibly heart-wrenching original soundtrack! (actually made me cry)

some of the most gorgeous art i've seen in any manhwa (seriously pls just open the 1st episode and look at the first few panels)

[spoilers below for chapter ~10]

delicious gender fuckery

MC is actually cross-dressing afab (i personally hc them as genderqueer; korean doesn't have gendered pronouns but the official tl uses she/her pronouns)

bonus: they're built like a fucking tank (as seen here) like hello??? which is so refreshing to see for an afab MC

plus they're also canonically lacking in empathy but still deeply compassionate which again is really refreshing

i'm sure there's even more stuff i'm forgetting but these are just some reasons off the top of my head why i think this manhwa is so amazing

please do give Mystic Prince a chance, it's an absolute delight!! there are multiple beautiful covers but here's a couple of them, BE ART BAITED <3

and finally some of my personal reactions to Mystic Prince and also a note regarding the content warnings under the cut!

feel free to skip this part lol but personally when i look for recs, i love when people tell me their emotional reactions and how passionate they are about it! so if this tells you anything,

this is the ONLY manhwa to have made me cry so far (yes that includes the orv webtoon, but not the novel ofc) like actually ugly sobbing with snot and tears and everything lmao

(it's not all sad though! this manhwa will have you clutching your heart one moment and then cackling out loud the next)

and it's also the ONLY manhwa i've ever spent actual money on before the fan tl picked it up just so i could read the advanced chapters (i'm notoriously cheap so this says a lot imo)

and i'm not alone in this, every other comment on webtoon is people saying the exact same thing. the general consensus is that this is 100% a hidden gem (webtoon DP my behated why'd you have to shoot yourself in the foot like that)

also regarding the content warnings on the carrd: this was my first time making a list of cws (i don't think anyone else has made one yet?) and i was a little hesitant to add them, so i sincerely apologize if i missed anything!! if anyone else has anything else to add (cws or otherwise) then please feel free to send me a message and i'll be happy to edit it!!

(btw this was inspired by this post which is also a great summary for why u should read a cnovel called mist unlimited)

LuciferZ's Story - Real Life Kim Dokja

So if Anyone cares...

LuciferZ was bullied by this same person who was friends with him and who had loved him so much. (Even if he didn't Know what Love was)

'i don't bite' this same person Bit, and she bit really Hard. When he became more Popular than her.

I guess they forgot to mention that, new people here btw, that when LuciferZ was bullied online on tumblr, it was by people who were formerly his friends. Whom he had trusted.

Dokjoong is not the only pairing he made Popular from trouble or nothing.

So you know his Friends spoke about putting himself out there?

Well, there's this person.

This person is the 2nd person who bullied him (the two were friends with each other) in the drrr fandom (durarara). (If you're Interested, type lucifersus Shizaya, in google). The same person which told him to put himself out there, and when he did, She turned her back on him and sent anon hate when he became more Popular than her.

So this isn't a normal case of bullying.....it's scarred bullying, being bullied online by the two people whom you had trusted the most. He was happy

This same person who said shipping isn't a big deal started a shipping war with her friend ruka when LuciferZ became more Popular than both of them.

You can never really tell people, and obviously this scarred him beyond recognition. At the same time, he was handling questions from the drrr fandom. And people did show love. People

Not one, but Two people showed love talking about important Cultural stuff with him, people who completely didn't know him and only read his blog, theories and analyses. (And this is the internet.)

People even called them out on it with their real names, the bulliers (who were once his friends). That's something you just don't do in Fandom drama, but People loved this Honest, humble, yet blunt and accurate person so much. People Loved him so much.

And it's the Same here right? I won't say how many followers he has, but his Dokjoong fic got 11 000 + Views, over 700+ kudos, it's no a study in geometric shapes but, amazing for being an Unpopular pairing.

Look at this Omniscient Reader, just looking at 'Answer'.

He Was Loved.

[y-junghyeok]

Characters: Yu Junghyeok, Han Sooyoung, Kim Dokja. Request prompt: 28 & 30 from here.

♥ Do they understand their partners/person they are courting’s feelings without them having to say anything?

→ Junghyeok's perception of the world is selective, sometimes taking time to catch on. If it's anyone else, he wouldn't have paid them any mind unless they somehow prove to be a nuisance. However, it's another story if he cares about you enough to develop a romantic attraction for you. He's a bit stupid in this department, too, he knows but he often thinks if you want him to do anything about it, you'd tell him. Which... that's not how people work, Junghyeok.

→ Sooyoung likes to think that the two of you have telepathy or something similar. The truth is that you're probably the one who's better at reading her feelings than Sooying with yours.

Often, she's involved in too many schemes and has to deal with two unfeeling eggheads, which makes her out of tune with the softer emotions of those around her. But once she notices something's wrong, she's quick to make amends.

→ Dokja is not the smartest when it comes to feelings. He pays attention to many things, sometimes, too many things even. This often leads him to be caught up too much to see if something's happening with you.

You'd have to be open with your communication if you want him to do something about it. Otherwise, he's dense as a brick and he needs to be hit with one to get wiser. One thing though, he's good at picking up on what makes you uncomfortable and often tries to work around that.

♥ Would they leave the person they love if it meant saving their life/giving them a better chance at life?

→ Lol Junghyeok. Anyway. More like counting how many times he had died for you. He's terribly uncreative, most often, if he sees this option, his brain will convince him that he has to do it. Please stop.

→ Sooyoung'd try to work out an alternative method before she reaches this conclusion. Only when all of her options are exhausted would she think about this.

→ Dokja is in a similar boat, he likes his many plans but sometimes, he can't plan for everything. If sacrificing his own life brings you the best outcome, then he wouldn't even hesitate.

[song-tam]

i am SO distressed right now what the fuckkkkk. i read a BUNCH of orv to pass time on a long plane ride and i think that was maybe not one of my best ideas……….. screaming sobbing punching the wall dramatically i hate this book so much

i’m right before they all group regress and Fuck. What The Fuck. i finally know what 51/49 means and can i go back to not knowing. what the fuck. and then,,,, yjh’s 0th turn???? if i continue to regress will i ever get to meet you again??????? that affecting the other world line??????????? and even before that too, with the oldest dream reveal,, FUCK. like i sort of expected it but it was still so devastating to read. and THEN. the quote that’s like “the oldest dream was the worlds most omniscient yet powerless god” or something. OW. i feel like i’ve been stabbed repeatedly. every time i type out another sentence in this ask i want to sob.

and then,,,,, his companions realizing something’s wrong. han sooyoung being the first to act on this because the kim dokja she knows best is the one that isn’t here. yoo joonghyuk choosing to regress (in both this world and the 0th turn) for that sliver of a chance that he’ll see kdj again. and the fact that kdj doesn’t consider even once that this might happen, that his companions would realize something was different. and this isn’t even something new! in all the times he sacrifices himself, he fails to truly acknowledge how much it affects the ones he cares about. he doesn’t comprehend (or is unwilling to comprehend) how much he is loved. his happily ever after doesn’t even include him, not fully — and i don’t think he believes he’s deserving of that happily ever after, either. he’s a reader. he doesn’t realize that this is his own story, too. goddddd i hate this book SO much (<- lying)

ORV ON PLANE RIDES SO REAL…….. tbh it’s such a Plane Book something abt being thousands of feet in the sky in a giant heap of metal while reading the most devastating piece of media to ever exist. what a vibe truly

WHEN I TELL YOU IWAS GAGGED AT 49/51. HONESTLY. kdj CONSTANTLY sacrificing himself to save his friends because these are the same people that have BEEN saving him since was fifteen fuck my life. god.

0TH TURN YJH IS SO INSANE the way it all comes back to those two. i literally could write paragraphs abt 0th turn they make me feral he guided him through all of it he got to see an ending where yjh got to live a long happy life and it’s what he was reading for the entire time im actually

oldest dream & kdj………….. tbh i think that must be so heartbreaking on both sides. kdj seeing his younger self and being so upset because at the end of the day it was him causing suffering for the people he loves most but oldest dream seeing his older self coming to fucking kill him and thinking that it didn’t get any better at all. he can’t even be loved by himself who else would love him then

YES HIS COMPANIONS GODDDDD the yoohankim of it all makes me SO sick actually. especially han sooyoung because hey he was supposed to be her reader. that’s what he promised her. instead she has a version of kdj that doesn’t even really read anymore and what kind of kdj is that? and yjh wanting to get kdj back because he was promised they’d see the ending TOGETHER and instead he doesn’t even have a full half of him. promises made promises broken to BOTH OF THEM fuck i’m unwell

kdj i hate you and your self sacrifice. i’m literally. exactly what you said tbh like he is loved!!!!!! and he doesn’t fucking realize it. but the thing is he would be dense to not know and that’s why 49!kdj exists in the first place bc he’s hoping that will be enough for them to just fucking sit still and live their lives. in his head he’s downplaying his importance which is why he gives them a fucking replacement

AUGHHH fine line between reader and protagonist and writer and the way all the roles are interchangeable and im. yeah. god

[aeonastra]

Whats ur review of orv :o? Your reblogs got me curious to check it out

Sorry I for the somewhat delayed response! With being sleep deprived and working yesterday, I had NO mental energy to respond lol.

I would that ORV has become one of my favorite novels of all time!

It's such a thrilling and expansive story with interesting side characters, who have far more depth than at first glance. It has lots of mysteries and twists that are so so cool. I REALLY enjoy the themes it explores. ORV is a story about writing, a story about reading, and a story about well...stories. And that's only one of the many themes and ideas it talks about.

And it's main character, Kim Dokja. He's someone who is clever but sooo stupidly dense. He's funny and VERY frustrating. Selfish and TOO self-sacrificing. He's a man with almost no self-worth but with so so so much love within him. Kim Dokja will break your heart but you can't help but love him anyway. I would recommend ORV on the strength of his character only.

God that's not even mentioning the other main characters Yoo Joonghyuk and Han Sooyoung, who are equally compelling. Would go on but I don't want this to get too long lol.

ORV is definitely a commitment with how long it is but I highly recommend it! It's definitely a story I'll be re-reading again and hyperfixationing for a good while.

[cittielinks]

Yoo Joonghyuk can always see people’s hearts. The first time he did this was when he was 7 years old. His mother’s heart was dimmer and gray while his father’s heart was light gray and had splotches of dark gray around it.

He never understood what it meant and he never does so when he told his parents about all he received was a forced laugh and weird stares. 

Deduced that the darker the color of their heart is,  or evil a person is, the lighter, the more good a person is.

But there were instances where an evil heart would turn a bit lighter. Only if that person does good and only then does it change its color. 

Yoo Joonghyuk never saw a person who was so good that the color of their heart is so pure. There is no way they exist.

Imagine his surprise when the famous delinquent in the neighborhood, Kim Dokja, had the lightest, purest heart he’s ever seen. That can’t be right.

He had seen that bastard kick office workers, He’d seen how he fought other school delinquents for power.

So why is his heart so pure? 

So, he began to study him from afar, and not once did he ever see his heart dimmed. he studied this weird squid and he learned something different about the delinquent everyone feared.

Kim Dokja kicked office workers because they were picking the puppy so Kim Dokja returned the favor by kicking them back. Kim Dokja fought other school delinquents because he saw how they harassed Yoo Sangah and he was merely paying back by punching them in the gut.

He would always stop the neighborhood kids, Lee Gilyoung and Shin Yoosung, from following him and would always buy them dinner because he knew how little they eat at their house. He had seen Kim Dokja giving his little gang candies, he had seen him giving Lee Hyunsung a prep talk, and how he would give Lee Seolhwa lunch every time he visits the clinic.  

Kim Dokja was different from what people thought of him. As he studied Kim Dokja, he slowly fell in love with Kim Dokja and his selfless heart. His gaze would follow Kim Dokja’s figure, always. And it’s easy to find Kim Dokja because in this disgusting world, only he would shine through. 

Kim Dokja was the one who cornered him and demanded him why he was following him.

Yoo Joonghyuk  opened then closed his mouth before he blurted out,

 “I like you”

Both of them were astonished by the sudden confession, Yoo Joonghyuk  didn’t think he would just confess then and there

He inhaled and told himself that it was better to be frank because he knew how dense of a squid Kim Dokja is. 

Kim Dokja blinked owlishly then blushed very hard. It's cute. 

“W-what are you even saying?!” Kim Dokja stuttered, tried to rub his cheeks to lessen the redness of his cheeks, and cleared his throat.

“I like you, let’s date.” Yoo Joonghyuk repeated, very sure of his words. 

Kim Dokja sighed, his ears still red from the sudden confession, and crossed his arm.

“Are you an idiot? Why would you even date someone like me? Is this a prank? because this isn’t funny.” 

Yoo Joonghyuk grabbed Kim Dokja’s hand and softly caressed it.

“It’s because it’s you that I want to date. I love you the moment I was set in sight with you. Your heart is the purest I have ever seen. I know you have helped a lot of people and expected nothing, I know because my eyes always trail on your very shadow. I also know how you expected nothing, not even kindness and love after everything. I like you because you’re you no matter how stereotypes hindered you from being kind. And I didn’t even know a person existed in a world like this.” 

“What are you talking about? You don’t even know me. I— I think you need help, I’ll bring you to Lee Seolhw—“

Yoo Joonghyuk cupped Kim Dokja to stop him from fidgeting and made him look at him clearly. 

“I am perfectly fine.” He chuckled and lovingly traced Kim Dokja’s face with his eyes, he added,

“I like you this much, should I show you my heart to let you know how I really feel then?”
