#it made me want to wrap our poor choissueng in bubble wrap and keep him safe

[cherryblossomchronicles]

The swing set scene where Seok-Ryu told Seung-Hyo about Hyeon-Jun's proposal was wonderfully done.

Seung-Hyo's disheartenment is so palpable in this scene. As far as he knew, they had a good breakfast with Seok-Ryu, things were going well and her ex was being an annoying pest but nothing significant. Then out of nowhere he becomes someone Seok-Ryu's sincerely considering of going back to. Someone who proposed her and she finds herself relying on.

“Even though I am here?

You can’t lean on me?”

The vulnerability with which he asks her these questions already fearing the answer but also keeping hope incase they turned out to be something else. The shakiness and the desperation in his voice that he was trying to control. He knows that the decision will be Seok-Ryu's, knows that even if she doesn't choose him, he would still be part of her life because a life without her is not worth imagining but still keeping hope that she might have misspoken. That she didn't mean what she said.
