#Tong x Gus

[gawin]

If you’re not ready, I’ll stop.

I’m ready. I’ve been ready since I first met you.

Then I’ll do it.

They nailed this scene 🔥🥵 (part. 1, 2, 3)

MIDDLEMAN'S LOVE (2023)

[heretherebedork]

There are three kinds of couples: shoulder bump, wedding rings and hand holding.

[scarefox]

Tong is based on King with Ueas personality.

Gus is based on Uea with Kings personality.

And I find that so damn fascinating, clever and funny.

Cause originally, they were supposed to be King and Uea in the original plot of ML. But ya know because they had to postpone Mai and Jades story, BF came first.

And I love that they made them into their interns. But gave King and Uea their mini-me with their opposite personality and made them slightly resemble them visually. So whenever King and Uea gave Tong and Gus advice, they couldn't just talk about their own personal experience and feelings but rather the experience they each got and learned about their partners quirks and thoughts. (Because the personalities are similar to their partner.) And I think that is beautiful.

third missing scene! the one they used as the thumbnail for part three, annoying me to no end

i still feel like i missed something, though? because last ep gus seemed pretty positive at the end of their conversation, but here he seems convinced tong doesn't like him at all??

ANYWAY killer scene, love this for both of them~

<prev ep 07 missing bit next ep 07 missing bit>

Middleman's Love EP7 (Tong x Gus)

ame su reacción, y bueno yo también reaccionaria así jajaja xD

[gillyweedgrl]

Mai being shocked at Jade’s question.

Gus being surprised by Tong’s abs.

Very different scenarios, both equally representative of my expression upon seeing them.

Oh, the tiny side babyness of them all. The best little crumbs. I love them so much.

When you're harsh enough to get two experienced employees to make Meaningful Eye Contact with each other over your phrasing, you've probably gone too far.

I love King so much. Seriously. He's such a sweetheart. And he is, of course, right. Because he knows what it means to hurt someone with your words even when you truly didn't mean and what it means to go too far with what you say.

I do love how much he was willing to deal with but still having a distinct line for himself... I love Gus so much. He's just such a good boy and he's doing his best and he might have a giant crush but he also has dignity.

You did, in fact, tell him that he talked too much very recently and very harshly so I'm not quite sure what else you expected, Tong.

The shocked look, the surprise on his face, the way Tong didn't think that what he said meant that much but how much it hurt Gus has come strikingly into focus and it's amazing.

Tong's got very good sad puppy dog eyes, y'all. They're good. Like, that's a master level right there. Probably for the best Gus is obviously immune. Honestly impressive. Poor boy had to be so hurt by what Tong said.

One of the best parts of this scene was how much frustration Gus was able to show from behind a pillar and then with his back turned. Never, for a second, could you doubt how little he wanted Tong taking care of him in that moment.

I do appreciate that he does apologize. He really does. He's trying, at least.

Oh, hey, the Thai equivalent of 'the tree remembers what the ax forgets'! Nice.

All I want is more of them.

15 Day BL Challenge - Day 3: Side dish that should've been the main course

Gus and Tong from Middleman's Love

Don't get me wrong, I loved Mai and Jade, but Tong and Gus kinda stole the show, and my heart. Their dynamic and story was made much more exciting than the main couples'.

Three and Zo from Boss and a Babe

Those two definitely deserved their own show, they were so freaking cute argh.

PitchBank from Golden Blood

Listen! I actually liked the main couple Sunsky as well, but these two had something special. And frankly it is such a shame Sugus and Tenon didn't get another show togerher.

And some honorable mentions, more side couples I really adored: FireDynamite from Cooking Crush, SunMork from Dark Blue Kiss, ParkLee and BearBomb from My Secret Love, SenRun from Omg, vampire, PingTap from Fahlanruk and let's not forget YeiCher from Wandee goodday.
