#stw: han yoojin can be reasoned with.

STW going gray at 34

Hi! Just wanted to ask: when Song Taewon felt an abrupt sense of safety and when he said "Stronger is safer" to Hyunah, was that him being under Yoojin's influence? And was that Newcomer at the end? The chapter was awesome btw. It delivered not just a 10/10 Han bros softness content but also made Yoojin give off a Sung Jinwoo vibe (not sure if you know/like SL but just know that I mean this as a very high compliment in terms of coolness).

aha thank you! glad you liked han bros they are my favs to write ^_^ unfortunately I am not really a fan of comparisons of my writing/characterization to other characters...

"stronger is safer" is something stw has heard yoojin tell yoohyun before, yes! the reason he mentioned it was because stw noticed hyj unconsciously checking in on him with his tracker skill—after some time, if you're sensitive enough, you can kinda notice the very light brush of his mana against yours, and when stw felt it he was reminded of that conversation. that brushing is also why he felt that sense of safety back during their first meeting; it was very much a "checking everyone is where theyre supposed to be and doing okay" kind of thing, and that emotion came across a little, even if stw didn't recognize the skill usage for what it was back then. hyj didn't and has never actually taken over stw! he wouldn't do that unless it was an emergency situation and something was really really wrong, and probably not even then without stw's consent. in parts due to humans being too tricky to command, it's not worth the trouble and fallout he'd get for revealing he can puppet people, and also he just respects stw enough to not override him like that

thanks for reading and again I'm glad you liked it :DDD
