YHK Dynamics (pt 1 - On Kim Dokja's love)

HSY: KDJ loves us but doesn’t know it. He is a dumbass who’s completely out of touch with his own emotions.

YJK: KDJ knows he loves us but won’t acknowledge it. Kim Dokja knows everything, he just has problems.

KDJ: I love you both and I fully acknowledge it. This is how I show my love. By sparing you from it. I’ll only hurt you. I have already hurt you so much. I will lie and cheat and put up my walls and wear my masks and use every talent I have in emotional manipulation to keep you at a distance. I would do it all so well, so meticulously, because I would rather suffer alone for eternity than continue to hurt either of you. I survived because of you two. And now, I only exist to repay my debt.

More orv thoughts but the contrasts between Dokja's relationships with YJH and HSY really are so very interesting. Specifically right now I'm thinking of how we start the novel with Dokja already obsessed with YJH. Not exactly rose tinted glasses but this character kept him alive for years because of how much he cared about him. Him being real doesn't change that, Dokja just kind of accepts the murder vibes and works around them.

But then with HSY at the start he thinks he doesn't know a thing about her. Their relationship is formed on the pages and by the time we hit the mid 300s where she's firmly involved in the dynamic between the two mains to the point of doing the killing herself in front of them to change the trajectory of their lives forever thing they're both so fond of attempting, you can clearly see how much Dokja has grown to care for her when he doesn't realize it's a fakeout. And the following chapters where he's looking at her and thinking about her and it's like oh wow. He loves her.

And I was grinning so hard while reading it. One of the core themes clear from early on is that Dokja loves YJH and the story is going to be about how that love endures and grows despite everything thrown at them. And it takes up so much narrative attention that the slowburn HSY carving out her own little niche in Dokja's heart that's distinctly different from the rest of the squad (and that dynamic climbing it's way up to stand different but on the same wavelength as Dokja and YJH) is done so subtly and brilliantly. I went from unsure of how anyone is going to come close to YJH in Dokja's heart and mind to enjoying every aspect of the yhk dynamic because they're all so insane about each other. Like they're firmly a trio now and I got to watch the entire build up of HSY becoming a part of it all while insisting that she's only helping because the two of them are too stupid to work out their issues without her.

And the best part is I still have like 150 chapters to go. 10/10 no notes give me more of the two edgelords growling like angry cats every time Dokja brings up that one time they were engaged because while he may be waking up to the fact he's in love with both of them they clearly still have an issue or 100 to work out before we get to a non murdering each other poly relationship.

i very recently binge read all of orv and had so many feelings about it i turned to the fandom and your account (here and on twt) has been a blessing to find!! i love your art plus you have such good takes on orv, especially about all of yhk as individuals and their dynamics together! there's a lot of fanon takes that i find really aren't for me but finding your account has let me curate and genuinely enjoy orv fandom so thank you <3

Wow…this is the highest of praise 😭😭😭 thank you so much for saying so, and for enjoying my work!

Sometimes I worry that I come across like Kim Dokja ie. I’ve never had an incorrect opinion about my favorite media ever, but this book is incredibly kind to its readers. There’s no incorrect way to enjoy ORV, all it asks from you is that you read it carefully and you love it

Also, have fun on your second read!

Yoo Junghyuk, you closet sub you. I see you.

I see how submissive you were to Kim Dokja in the 1863rd turn.

I didn't forget how you reminisced being "tortured <3" by Han Sooyoung in Kaizenix either.

YHK post epilogue dynamics

- KDJ about to do something stupid. Again.

- HSY having none of that and pounces on KDJ who scrambles to escape. Screeches for reinforcements via YJH.

- YJH, being pure zen at this point of his life, accepts this mayhem as a normal part of their new lives together. He also doesn’t want KDJ to do anything stupid tho.

- Solution: Bear hug both of em.

yhk fans: tired dumpster rats writing ten page essays on yhk and how it works and WORDS

anyways more propaganda:

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE FOR YHK (AND NOT BETRAY ME LIKE MY FRIEND (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE /lh)):

1. Reader/Protagonist/Writer dynamic, you literally cannot get more cosmic than that. they could not exist without each other. they need each other.

2. the dedication, devotion, gratitude, affection and love they show to each other. the acts of love they express. the fact that each and every action we keep talking about is CANON.

3. the many different flavours of their dynamics and how natural it is. they are cringefail losers, they look at each other and decide that they are forever stuck together. they are all so annoyed with each other, they all cannot leave each other. HSY IS THE BREADWINNER !!! YJH IS THE HOUSEHOLD HUSBAND !!!! KDJ IS JUST THERE AND THE OTHER TWO ARE JUST REALLY FUCKING HAPPY HES THERE !!!! THEY WOULD PROBABLY LET KDJ DO WHATEVER AS LONG AS HE WAS THERE AND NOT OFF DOING SOME BS SELF SACRIFICIAL PLAN !!!

4. the fact each of them have been so intrinsically affected by each other. none of them would have survived without the other two. all of them have been changed by each other.

5. they WANT each other. if one of them went off without any notice by god the other two will do everything they can to make sure that idiot comes home. it’s esp prevalent with the other two abt kdj. they WANT kdj. they want him safe and happy and WITH THEM. they see kdj trying to hide his flaws and trauma and they go “no. we’ve already seen all of it. we want everything. we want every part of you here and happy.”

6. the amount of trust they have with each other. the trust you would need to let someone go, to trust that they’ll come back and come back with the other idiot. the trust you’d have to have to be able to leave everything to the other, to trust that they are doing everything they can on their end. the trust they have that the others can handle themselves. how can you trust someone so much like this? how can you trust that they will follow through? how can you trust so much that you will wait however long it takes? how can someone even take that?

7. they are precious to each other. yjh needs the other two alive because they defy his expectations in ways he never realized could happen. hsy holds every memory she has of yjh and esp kdj close to her heart. kdj sincerely wishes for the happiness of yjh and hsy, he cares more abt their happiness than his own. (what he doesn’t realize is that their happy end involves his happiness too.) they mean so much to each other

8. they chose each other over the world. over themselves. they would hand over anything and everything to each other if needed.

9. “I realized something just then. I managed to get this far because these two lived on their own terms - respected my decisions in their own ways.

I began thinking; with these two around, maybe not all hope was lost, after all.”

10. they are capable of hitting each other on the head when they are reaching concerning levels of stupid. hsy literally crashes a yjh vs kdj fight just to make sure they wouldn’t actually kill each other. kdj breaks yjh out of his uncaring attitude. yjh and hsy would probably beat up kdj every time he went “hey i’m back” if they weren’t also mildly emotionally every time it’s happened.

11. what if my love language was sacrifice

12. kdj’s inner dialogue repeatedly describing yjh and hsy as attractive?? (some of his inner dialogue is peak pining like bro what are you doing 🤨???)

13. wasn’t there an arc where kdj intended to give hsy a love letter for a scenerio but yjh went “this is so bad” and also didn’t they in the same arc have this short scene where they talk abt novels and hsy wanting to write a novel later and discussing genres and then kdj FOR SOME REASON brings up romance?? and then they try to change the subject to jhw and lhs, like. y’all aren’t slick.

14. the book is literally about love and stories and loving stories and human connections and relationships and how stories facilitate connections. like. knowing that and knowing who yjh, hsy and kdj are. they are literally the pillars of the novel. they are so incredibly important to the story not only as individuals but also as a trio.

vote yhk i beg -Toon

im so sorry ur friend betrayed u 😔 all is fair in love war....

[just-a-fragment]

Actually really excited for the side stories since it looks like Lee Hakhyun is the personification of the reader/protagonist/author dynamic from yhk. I know those three interchange their roles a lot in the novel but I'm curious how the dynamic/narrative will change especially when we get interactions from other kim com members that didn't have much chance to shine (lgy/lhs/lsh/jhy)

[knittedbond]

make no mistake. joongdok are in gay love but they're a t4t transhet couple, while doksoo are bisexual about their love but they are a yaoi couple, and yoohan are yuri but they are also lesbian yaoi in a different way. and if you think hsy is the one wearing the dress in any of these dynamics you've committed the most fundamental crime of misunderstanding yhk
