Spoilers for chung jin (my love </3)

One thing that i will never get over is when that gang is bringing back chung jins skeleton, Chung myung makes it a point to travel as fast as possible UNTIL they get to Mount hua. Once they get there he makes everyone slow down and climb the mountain as if it was their first time climbing it again. Chung myung purposely climbs mount hua slow as if his return with Chung Jin is a funeral precession. Honestly to Chung myung, it probably was. Yes, there was a whole ceremony for Chung Jin after they get back to the sect, but I think that this climb was Chung myungs own personal way to say "you're back, you're home." to the sajae he had grown up with and lost.

And god don't get me started on the sunsets. If it's true that it was from Chung myungs influence that Chung jins love for sunsets grew, then I need to be shot. Chung myungs climbs, dedicated and slow, but stops to watch the sunset. He's carrying js sajaes skeleton on his back, and he stops to watch the sunset. He repeats the words spoken to him to his kids, saying that there's not a more beautiful sight than a sunset over mount hua.

And the fact that Chung myung buries Chung Jin on a cliff so he can watch over both the current diciples AND the sunsets?? God it makes me sick. Both of the things held deep in his heart. He is able to watch over both of them, because of Chung myung. Who knew his sajae so throughly that he knew that he'd want to be buried in a place over watching the sect instead of in the traditional ancestral burial grounds. Chung myung, who probably begged and pleased with the elders to bury him there, to negate tradition. The elders, who saw the depths of Chung myungs grief and allowed him to do so. For what is stronger than a brothers love?
