Be My Favorite Ep. 9 - Thoughts Part 2

So I had even more thoughts.

I love Pisaeng offering to be Kawi's Sugar Daddy. But I also love Kawi saying they need a more equal relationship to make it last and that he needs to take more care. Communication is key! But poor Pisaeng. He just wants his boyfriend to have a phone that won't die all the time, so he can call him when he wants.

I think that Kawi took it rather well, walking in to a classroom gossiping about his brand new relationship with Pisaeng. Pear was still his focus because he really wants to do right by her. Even though they'll never date in this timeline, he really cares about her.

And it shows just how close Pear and Pisaeng are when she goes to him specifically to ask about Kawi, but ends up opening up to him about her mom. Because Pisaeng is her best friend, and she needed to talk this out with him. And I very much appreciate that Pisaeng didn't lie about his feelings for Kawi. That was probably a hard conversation for both of them, but they were still honest with each other. Communication is key for romance and friendship!

And she was clearly upset, but she held it together, and told Kawi she wasn't ready to listen to him right now. Pear did turn Kawi down, but they both obviously thought they were moving in the direction of a relationship, so it makes sense that she would be hurt.

It was such a nice surprise that they confronted Pisaeng telling Pear the truth in this episode and that Kawi didn't blow up at Pisaeng about it. He's just sad that he couldn't be the one to tell Pear and hopefully save her some heartache. And I like that they talked about Kawi wanting to set everything right. And Pisaeng feeling kind of sad that that doesn't just mean them being together. But Kawi explaining that many people were affected by the changes he made, and he doesn't just want himself and Pisaeng to have a good life, but for everyone around them. And speaking of everyone around them... Kwan! Please! Why do you like Not! Why are you sleeping with him! What do you see in him?!

I'm not going to lie. In prior episodes, I thought if Kwan wanted him, maybe he could get a redemption, if he really worked on himself. But after this? No way! He literally told her he doesn't "feel that much" about her! What the heck! He couldn't even be bothered to show her kindness or to be empathetic when she started crying! I really thought he would try to reassure her even if he was lying. Or do something! Anything!

It was very sweet seeing Pear ask Not to not tell anyone about Pisaeng and Kawi, because they're her friends, and she wants them to be comfortable in their new relationship and to be comfortable to come out when they want to. And I have to apologize, Pear. I was really worried that you would agree to go out with Not. I mean, you do have a track record of jumping from your crush to whoever is crushing on you after getting turned down. But I was wrong, and you were even nice in turning down Not of all people. I'm so sorry for doubting you, queen!

Basically everything on the balcony was amazing. Pisaeng saying that they can get through everything together. That Kawi can't live thinking the future will be awful. Kawi assuring Pisaeng that he wants to keep dating. Pisaeng telling Kawi that he has to have hope. Kawi telling Pisaeng his fears aren't because they're both men. Pisaeng saying there's nothing more right than them being together <3
