a yoohyun after two months of not drawing at all. love you, you little inhuman freak

[readerattheend]

Han Yoojin is "normal."

Everyone sees him as "normal."

The story makes sure we know he's "normal."

And we get to see that being so undeniably human is miraculous when you're surrounded by these people who don't show their human mundanity.

This is a guy who takes spam calls for fun, and the god-like Sung Hyunjae makes him breakfast and knits for him.

This is a guy who is excited to meet a celebrity and the best water-based Hunter in the world goes to school because he tells her to.

This is a guy whose ability is just to love and be loved, and he is so, so loved by a being who is more monster and more fire than human.

He doesn't just bring out existing humanity. He sparks humanity.

SPOILERS FOR SCTIR FOR +CH 200

CW: (possibly) Eating disorder ED, depression

Something that keeps me awake at night: at the beggining of the story, Yoohyun's death isn't so painful for the viewers, because we only see what is on the surface of the Han brothers' life. It's through memories and flashbacks that we get to learn 3 facts: Yoojin dedicated his entire life to Yoohyun, they parted ways and in the end they reunited, only for one of them die. That's the introduction of SCTIR for us. Moreover, Yoojin is desesperate to leave the past behind, so he doesn't linger on his traumatic memories for too long, hence why the pain of reading SCTIR isn't instant.

It is gradual.

Yoojin and we learn that the past was never erased. It still happened, and exists in the form of Yoohyun's body out in the cold. Gradually, it becomes more apparent how Yoojin is still so affected by his previous life, despite his fear resistance skill. It starts with small things like him avoiding eating unless someone tells him to do so, always occupying himself with tasks that could be handled by someone else, negative thoughts about himself for every single action he takes and so on. I love, with all my heart, the manhwa, but the novel makes it so much more apparent how Yoojin loathes himself, to the point he keeps wishing he wasn't a human being, rather an item for his brother to use. It's so messed up to want to abandon all your humanity, feelings and concept of self just so you can be of help.

SCTIR is fun to read, but even more so with the unreliable narrator that is Yoojin. He sees what he does as nothing impressive, considering the people he is surrounded with, despite running the kisengsu facility, negotiating with the hair loss company to develop a new product, managing Seok Hayan's research team, mantaining diplomatic ties with Japan, training and helping other hunters and, most importantly, caring for all the S classes. He worries for their well-being because it's only natural for him to do so, as the Perfect Caregiver.

And, in the middle of it all, the only thing Yoojin spares for himself is hate. He doesn't want to live long for himself, but rather for Yoohyun, even though Yoojin already has been through the pain of loss. When Yoojin died in chapter 241, the first thing that he thought was Yoohyun. He didn't even think about how much it hurted dying (with a freaking shot on the head)! He just wanted to reunite and soothe Yoohyun that he was okay.

Speaking of which, in Sigma's arc, as Yoojin was alone, he really stopped caring for his well-being, so Sung Hyunjae took that role and did everything he could to help Yoojin. But, for him to even have to create a quest just so Yoojin could eat is what sparked my lizard brain to write this post.

My point is, there isn't an arc dedicated for recovery (at least until the chapter I have read that is like, ~300) and that is beautiful, because Yoojin is still processing what he went through, and we get to see that. Yoojin has such an interesting character arc as he begins wanting to forget the past, as it is too painful, to start running after it. He can't let go of it, because letting it go means letting his little brother go too. Which is why he says he will never be okay again in chapter 278.

The thing about Han Yoojin is...

I don't think he would be more dangerous if he were an S-Class. He is dangerous specifically because he is F-Class.

That's because all of Yoojin's abilities, as well as his behaviours, are a direct consequence of him being a lower rank hunter in a world made to favour higher ranks. Yoojin's strenght comes from his determination, his knowledge, and his anger towards those who oppress the weak and vulnerable.

Lacking physical strenght and strong magical powers, he started studying hard everything there was to know about Dungeons, and he became an incredible strategist. Unable to protect himself from the criminals who took advantage of lower class hunters - and a society that did close to nothing to protect those lower classes -, he became a skilled liar, a manipulator, and he learned how to kill his enemies after tricking then into lowering their guards. He became ruthless, because if he wasn't, he wouldn't have survived, or he would have had to give up on his goal to try and protect his younger brother.

If Yoojin had been an S-Class, Yoohyun wouldn't have had as strong a reason to push him away in order to protect him. Yoojin wouldn't need to lie, manipulate, steal as much, because most things he could possibly want would simply be handed to him.

Even imagining a Yoojin that is both powerful AND as clever and ruthless as he is.... well, he'd be like Sung Hyunje. And even amazing Sung Hyunje is not as determined or imaginative as F-Class hunter Han Yoojin is.

getting queerbaited by an action webnovel is so embarrassing. but goddamn this dog is just too fucking good at chess

[fallloverfic]

I remember when I first read this manhwa and thought, "Huh, that is a weirdly boys love-esque intro for this random dude. I'm guessing we'll never see him again cause it's a one-off gag? Was it just a marketing thing?" Like I was legitimately confused and thought the story switched genre temporarily just for him for some reason. Like some brief fever dream before returning to the regular plot.

I have never been so happily wrong, at least about the brief/temporary nature of Hyunje's presence in the story.

[shjapologist]

i've been spiralling about this since april. what if dead little sibling

[rabbitindisguise]

THE EXPRESSION ON MY FACE WHEN I READ THIS, I'M-

[honey-bird10]

[bidokja]

THE LATEST S-CLASSES CHAPTER,,,UHM 😳

[euphosynth]

The final product of the poll result

✨Han Yoojin in thigh bracelet✨

Ft Sung Hyunje but he doesn't really matter in this particular drawing

(though now looking at it as a whole, the thigh bracelet part don't seem to stand out as I intended lol)

Whenever I draw Han Yoojin, I do look at reference, but still I ended up drawing him pretty. Han Yoojin actually has a fashion sense of an old man, but in Eunhye I trust. Dress that man pretty, make him gorgeous, I believe in you, Eunhye!

I do intend to draw the other ones in the poll, specifically the one with song taewon but now I have an idea for a bak Yerim-han yoojin fanart, and I'm conflicted on which one I should draw first so we'll see

[freyadragonlord]

One of my favourite things about the end of The S-Classes That I Raised novel (major spoilers ahead),

is the realisation that the reason why Yoojin and Hyunjae's relationship looks so much like a love story at times is because it actually, honestly is.

Like, we know that sctir is a novel about love since the beginning, that's not surprising. Yoojin's capability for loving monsters (both literal monsters and the human kind) and the power of that love is at the centre of the plot.

But by the time you get to the end, you realise - and the author confirms this themselves in their final Note - that Yoojin's relationship and love for 2 specific people was the true core of the story, and what allows him to save the world in the end:

One is, of course, Yoohyun.

And that love is absolute; you cannot say that it's inevitable, cause we know Yoojin had to make a choice when he was a child between Yoohyun and his parents, and he almost chose his parents, but from the moment he decided to love Yoohyun onward, then it was unconditional and eternal. It's the love of a brother, but also the love of a parent and a caretaker.

And the other person is Sung Hyunjae.

And that love is not unconditional nor inevitable or absolute at all. It's not something that can be taken for granted. We actually see, because of how it ended between them before the regression, and thanks to the White Bird's power of seeing possible futures, that there were so many timelines where Yoojin and Hyunjae would have never come to care about each other fully (tho they are always at least somewhat interested in each other, because their personalities are actually really compatible).

But the White Bird also sees that the only possible future where the world is saved is the one where they love and hold on to each other. And that is how the story goes!

So, just like a romance novel, the necessary end is the one where they both love each other and accept that love. And it's not easy to get there! It's a slow burn.

From meeting to getting to know each other, appreciating each other's skills and intelligence, finding out they have fun together but still not trusting each other, to working on building that trust.

They go from a strong but superficial mutual interest to actually caring about each other as people.

Yoojin has to go through the self-doubt of feeling inferior and fearing that Hyunjae will lose interest in him. Hyunjae has to learn to stop pushing Yoojin away because he doesn't know how to handle having someone he cares about so much, and also someone that cares about him, because nobody in the world (except in part Song Taewon) likes Sung Hyunjae as a person, he is only ever admired from afar.

And in the end, after going through ups and downs and a few "break-up arcs", they make it. They accept their own feelings and each other's feelings.

And that's when Yoojin makes the choice to use the power that the transcendents gave him at the very beginning of the novel, to save Hyunjae. Not the world. Not even Yoohyun! Just Sung Hyunjae!

Yeah, the whole "gather 50 S-Class people", the very thing that gives the novel its title. That is not a power that is used to save the world!! It was meant to, but Yoojin is "selfish", and he will always choose to save the people close to him first.

And being able to love someone so selfishly gives Yoojin the power to save the whole world, too. As a bonus! A reward. Just a side effect.

So yeah. Is it romantic love? No. Canonically, there's almost no romantic love in the whole novel.

But is it a love story?? Yeah. Absolutely it is.

slight spoiler for sctir chp 242

"I believe you, Han Yoojin, raised Han Yoohyun well."

Could you imagine the absolute pride, sheer joy and relief that Yoojin felt hearing those words for what must've been the first time in his life, especially coming from Hyunjae?

Yoohyun is someone who, as a natural born s-class, is distant from people his entire life. He's cold and uncaring if they're unrelated to Yoojin, with everyone else unable to come to know Yoohyun as a result. Yoojin raised his brother without support, no one in the story really knows how he dedicated his life to his younger brother but with Yoohyun's apathetic exterior, it's easy to misinterpret.

Then you have Hyunjae, another natural born s-class, someone who knows what Han Yoohyun should've been. Someone who's almost perfect and fantastical, yet so much more human than you'd believe. Who achieves everything he desires, yet Yoojin recognises hard work and admires him all the more. Someone who Han Yoojin sees as a fellow adult that he doesn't have to take care of and genuinely trusts his opinions. Perhaps the only person that Yoojin may ever allow to see the parent that he is, that struggled to raise Yoohyun.

Hyunjae tells Yoojin that he raised his brother well; to Yoojin who was always alone as a parent and fears that he may have changed Yoohyun for the worst, it means everything.

"In fact, there's no perfect way to raise people. You simply need to try your best, and I think you certainly did that."

━ yours ,, the s-class that i raised

requested by: – pairing(s): han yoohyun x twin! male reader word count: 1009 warnings: canon spoilers (?), cursing, twincest, incest, bro con, casual plans of murder are casual, hand job, shower sex (implied) a/n: if you read the manhwa, you know that yoohyun has a massive brother con shit with yoojin and yoojin also shows some moments of it too but not as bad as yoohyun who is yandere af

but yeah, sue me for being a disgusting degenerate ┐⁠(⁠´⁠ー⁠｀⁠)⁠┌

Han Yoohyun knew something wasn't right as he looked in the direction of his and your room was, where his older twin, you, had disappeared after you had arrived not too long ago. Yoohyun couldn't help but get a bit concerned about you as you had completely shut yourself off. Your usually cheerful attitude had been all but gone. His twin brother had hardly even opened a mouth since you arrived and before slipping into the shared bedroom.

Yoohyun knew something must have happened when you had gone out earlier. You came back from an interview that must have taken a toll on you as you barely even talked to Yoohyun before you had dragged yourself to the bedroom while murmuring about going to take a bath to relax.

The interviews you go to weren't any less intense as you took up the public's interest so Yoohyun can do his own thing. You were the "marketable" twin so to say. The stress must have accumulated, and he wasn't surprised that you were taking a bath to relax. He would be lying if he wasn't curious about what you had gone through during the interview though as he was sure it was stressful.

So, getting up from the couch, Yoohyun went towards the shared bedroom and opened the door to see if he can able to find out what had gotten his older twin in this mood. Yoohyun could hear the sound of the running water over the sound of his own breathing, his worry grew as it dawned on him that he may need to go check on you more.

Opening the door to the bathroom connected to the bedroom, Yoohyun looked at you. You were obviously naked as the water from the shower fell down to your body and Yoohyun could see you clearly through the clear glass that separated the wet area from the rest of the bathroom. Yoohyun didn't have time to be impressed like he always was on seeing your form like this as he was more concerned about the fact that you looked blankly at the tiled bathroom wall, standing there without any emotion on your face. It was unlike you...

Yoohyun let out a sigh as he began stripping until he was bare and slipped into the showers with his twin. "Move," Yoohyun softly said as he placed himself behind you and immediately leaned in, feeling you stiffen from both your bodies close. You then relaxed when you realised it was just Yoohyun. The both of you stayed like that for a while as Yoohyun placed his head on your shoulder as the warm waters coming from the shower pelted the both of you.

"What's wrong?" Yoohyun softly asked after a while as he closed his eyes. Humming when he heard you let out a grunt and answered.

"Parasites getting annoying again," you huffed as you remembered how annoying the press was from the interview you had gone to. "Those fuckers had the audacity to mention hyung and bad mouth him... again..."

That made Yoohyun snap his eyes open as he glared at the tiled wall. When it comes to Han Yoojin, your dearest older brother, the two of you would always feel more emotion than anything else. Even after keeping themselves away from Yoojin for years, both twins will forever be wrapped around Yoojin's fingers. And you two didn't like it when anyone ever disrespects or hurts your older brother. "Should we just kill them?" You let out another grunt at Yoohyun's words. You were tempted to agree with your baby twin, but you had to stop this as you knew it would be a mess if you let Yoohyun do whatever he wanted.

"Tempting... but no. It'll be annoying to deal with if word gets out about the two leaders of the Haeyeon Guild murdered civilians. You know we're not allowed to endanger those insects in any form."

Yoohyun let out a displeased hum as he pressed his body closer to you. "I hate it when you're right," Yoohyun murmured as he placed a kiss on your neck to distract himself from his anger on not being able to do anything. Wrapping his arms to hug his older twin, Yoohyun casually placed one of his hands on your toned stomach as he then slowly guided it down until he grabbed your soft cock. "Is that why you're pissed earlier?"

"Yeah..." A soft groan left your lips at the feeling of Yoohyun's hand on your cock, your baby twin slowly jerking you until your cock becomes hard. Yoohyun softly hummed as he placed another kiss on your neck as he continued to lazily jerk your cock. His other hand cupped one of your pecks and squeezed it. Letting a pleased hum at hearing your pleasured noises. "Trying to distract me?"

"No... claiming what's mine," Yoohyun said as he bit on your skin harshly, planning on leaving a mark that hopefully he could admire for a while before you drink a potion to erase it. "I hate it when you people think you're dating someone."

You chuckled softly as you knew what Yoohyun meant. Seems like your dearest baby brother found out about the rumours of you apparently "dating" another hunter. It was all a lie really as the press and media always love to blow things out of proportion and love to make drama on things... but you knew Yoohyun was always the territorial kind... not like you weren't as well.

You grabbed Yoohyun's hand and made your twin stop touching you so you could turn around and face Yoohyun. A smile was on your lips as you cupped Yoohyun's cheeks as you looked at Yoohyun in the eye.

"You know it's all lies," you said as you placed your lips against Yoohyun's, softly kissing your twin as you pressed your body closer to his. Making Yoohyun be pushed back towards the wall as you softly grind your hard cock on Yoohyun's thick, muscled thighs. "I only belong to you and hyung."

[lurasposts]

tsctir chapter novel where Hyeonje hugged Yoojin from the back before he turned Yoojin around to hide his face from Yoohyun and Yerim because Yoojin was clearly having a panic attack.

I remember Yoojin briefly mentioned that he doesn't know what Hyeonje saw in his (panic driven) face, but Hyeonje was "slightly uncharacteristically flustered" AND NOBODY EVER TALKED ABOUT THIS?

The way Hyeonje was clearly not used to people especially han Yoojin inadvertently showing vulnerability in front of him, or maybe it was because he was seeing Yoojin like that for the first time, that he wasn't used to it and flustered for a second because our might Hyeonje didn't know what to do in a situation for the first time. bro definitely was NOT used to comforting people during panic attacks episodes lol.

He didn't force Yoojin or anything. he knew Yoojin doesn't wang to look fragile in front of the kids, so he turned his face to do exactly that. covered his face, hiding him. and then made jokes to Yerim and Yoohyun to distract them for Yoojin so Yoojin could breathe for a second. all the while probably had never done this before.

and Yoojin's second panic attack after the Virtual Reality (Sigma arc) Dungeon, Hyeonje picked Yoojin up and "took wide strides" far enough from the others because Yoojin needed space, needed an out. he even used that soundproofing item so Yoojin could cry his heart out. he's just considerate like that. then he gave him space again, when Yoohyun is around, let this arms (that supported Yoojin) go to hug his brother.

and when they met again, Yoojin had many other things to think about that he pushed down the issue with panic attacks, but Hyeonje brought it up, still thinking about him (obviously) and– and you could SEE Hyeonje spent a few days after that thinking about it, considering what to do with Yoojin, how to get Yoojin talk about it.
