#yona of the don soowon

[cozymoko]

Hello, I think requests are open.

I saw the list of animes you write for.

What do you think Jaeha, Zeno and So-woon(Akatsuki no Yona) reaction to a S/O who's a goddess more ancient than the dragons and uses human form to travel for a long time yet lose her memories every century as protection mechanism she placed on herself as she keeps doing the mistake of holding mortals too dear then falling into grief whenever they die, now she's thinking of turning them to a fellow god(privilege that can given to a god's soulmate only) after they die and she's finally willing to go back to heaven and restore her full memories?

OH MY GODDESS!!

Synopsis: The reader is an ancient God who travels as a human, but every century loses her memory to protect themselves. Now, she's debating on turning her love interest into a god to return to heaven with her.

Note: I made this have any obsessive love because when most people meet a god(ess) they'll want to worship them in my opinion. Deities have that effect on people.

Pairing: Jae-ha x female! reader, Zeno x female! reader, Soo-Won x female! reader

WARNING(S): slight obsession, angst in Zeno's part

JAE-HA

BEING THE WOMANIZER he is, Jae-ha has come across his fair share of pretty faces; but he didn't expect a goddess to be one of them. It was evident that you were from the heavens, blessed with ineffable amounts of beauty and an ambiance just as tempting. It was no surprise the man would look to pursue you.

It's decided; he shall join you in the afterlife. As your one and only, to bask in your beauty and grace until the sun touches the horizon. Somehow you managed to sweep the playboy off his feet in record-breaking time, although that's supposedly his job. It was almost embarrassing how fast he accepted your proposal, so much so that a deep red tinge can be seen dusting his cheeks. Never had he been so enamored with a woman, one way out of his league at that.

Now the memory aspect has piqued his interest. Relationships are precious, insightful even, so why would you want to forget them? Regardless, he respects your decision. Yet over time, Jae-Ha soon realizes he'd rather you lose all memories that don't include him. After all, he's a bit jealous of all the experiences you may have had with your past lovers, and he'd rather not have any more competition than needed.

“Oh my, I believe it's that time, isn't it? Let us go to the heavens above where we shall become one. Unfortunately, I don't think I can take the anticipation much longer darling.”

ZENO

A REAL LIFE GODDESS in the flesh? Woah, this must be his lucky day. Like with most things in life, Zeno is ecstatic. Through the many centuries he's lived, not once has he been graced with the presence of a deity such as yourself. Beautiful doesn't begin to describe the beauty that endowed you. It was as though he was looking a fairy tale princess right in the eyes. Various compliments spilled from his smiling lips faster than he could account for. If he was feeling even the slightest bit of shame you had not noticed.

This being your human form enticed him to dig up the real you. He would hate to k now you're hiding anything from him. You are not obligated to unveil what you desire not to, but he'd rather bask in as much of your authenticity as "humanely" possible. Zeno is quite jealous of your ability to forget about the past, and until he met you he wished to do the same. Maybe then would he be able to start all over again and experience life one step at a time with you sticking closely by his side.

Zeno's dragon grants him the gift of immortality so dying is out of the question. He has lived to see many dragons come and go, greeted by death and to god knows where. It saddens him that even with his new powers he won't be able to fulfill your wishes. In the end, Zeno's purpose is to serve Yona and no one else. But only one woman can make his heart beat so sporadically, rendering him speechless each time they meet eyes.

“It's a shame, y'know? I really wish I could go with you and keep you company. Hah—!? Don't cry; we'll figure something out, I'm sure of it!”

SO-WOON

SOMEONE SO POWERFUL should have never taken interest in him, but oh is he glad they did. A deity, from the heavens nonetheless, had come before him with curiosity at that. Just a short conversation with you proved how extensive your knowledge is. And from the sound of it, you were much older than many mythical beings of this time. So as one does, Soo-Won ponders ways to use that to his advantage, even if it meant deceiving you. However, that was before he put his plan into motion.

Soo-Won was destined to fall deeper and deeper into the alluring solace of the goddess he had merely hoped to use. Now, the man wished to undress her, uncovering every inch of her ravishing skin; so perfect and warm. He wished to taint her with his blooded hands so she could learn to love his true nature as he loved hers. He realizes his selfishness but he simply doesn't care. There shall be no lies between you two and he'll make sure of it.

He would long for nothing more than to be with you until his last breath, even if he does not deserve to. The sins he's committed should send him nowhere but the raging depths of hell. However, he will not lose you to those cocky bastards that resided above the clouds who were waiting to take his place. And he will never allow you to erase anything regarding your future, together for eternity.

“My beautiful goddess, where have you gone? I was worried sick; Hah...I'd thought those disposable fools had gotten to you. With your permission, I shall get rid of them in your stead.”

Soowon probably never considered himself a victim. Everyone thinks Soowon is the strong one and the perpetrator, including himself. Of course he is, but...This prevented him from recognizing or accepting his pain. So he is always stunned by his desire to die. How sad.

Indeed. Soo Won is traumatized by losing both his parents so young. He has never really grieved his father's death.

And basically by all that high expectations of all the people around him:

For Yu hon 's followers and Hak Soo won was a messiah.They were projecting all their desires and wishes on him completely disregarding him as a person.

I don´t think there was a chance for Soo Won to have kept King Il alive...at least not alone. This might´ve been the reason why @under-my-pillow seems to be upset as well. Neither Hak nor Yona consider their own faults...or to be fair, we can say that Yona at least realized much of her own privilege at the beginning and also does seem to understand Soo Won´s position even though she still harborts ill feelings towards him.

But Hak seems to not think properly about the situation or how can he still bring up that he "could have just married Yona". Besides the obvious reason that Hak is in love with Yona, King Il might have rather killed himself than letting Soo Won marry Yona.

Soo Won had been without any chance...at least alone...but it does not appear that Hak wished to contribute to solve this problem. He merely did mention that he trusts Soo Won´s intelligence...But if Soo Won can actually win against supernatural beings with just his brains`?

[freewilllife]

  It s still a less grave crime in King Il s eyes to terrorize his daughter like Tae Jun did in the past, then a 10 year old boy entering a mausoleum.

Or even putting his daughter in danger. Neither Hak nor Soo Won were granted a scolding of King Il, when Yona was abducted.

And he wasn t against Yona being with Soo Won. The boy was just not allowed to enter the mausoleum.

He was not worried for Yona. He was mad at Soo Won and Yona tells us that her father rarely gets mad...That is one reason why I personally think that his belief is fanatic.

Besides...he obviously rather prayed than actually done anything against the difficulties and problems arising in his country.

This was the old world and believing in prophecy was… natural.

So natural that people didn t believe in the Dragon Warriors even when they saw them for the first time. They had this huge hand before their eyes, but still doubted it. No I don t think that it was an absolute common trait in Kouka.

but he wasn’t shouting, and he wasn’t being cruel. Soowon had no business there anyway.

Then it would have been no harm let the boy enter. This was clearly an overreaction.

Well here is the thing… there’s nothing that indicates that King Il is a religious fanatic. Certainly, he was a religious man… But it’s really not fanatical because gods and prophecy are very real in their world. 

Praying during new year isn’t anything extreme. Yona being the new King is only part of a prophecy, which King Il believed in. This was the old world and believing in prophecy was… natural. 

And yes he looked really scary when he stopped Soowon from entering the Mausoleum… but he wasn’t shouting, and he wasn’t being cruel. Soowon had no business there anyway. (Though the poor boy must have been terrified…) He definitely knew something we don’t. But his actions weren’t extreme. 

Look, as far as we know for now… King Il hasn’t killed anyone for the prophecy (Yuhon tbd), he hasn’t passed any ridiculous religious law. He’s not a fanatic. 

[cozymoko]

Oooh!! You do Yona of the dawn? Man I love that Manga! it was one of the first I ever got into when I was a kid

Do you think I could request some General Yandere headcanons for Soo-Won?

SOO-WON

Two Faced, though he hides it pretty well. Seeing him smile in your face, scowling in others. But none if that aggression was ever pointed at you, if it was you couldn't recall a time. But the harsh orders he gives your acquaintances are truly undeniable.

This man is willing to commit more than a few sins for you. Lying, tealing, killing, you name it! All of it means nothing if it's for you. Nothing else matters as long as you smile at him the same.

Soo-Won essentially keeps you glued to his side. Not wanting the useless people around you to taint you, your lovely personality.

It's clear that he's willing to become a tyrant for you, to throw it all away to make you happy. But nothing comes without a price; exchanging your freedom for riches, living the rest of your days under his rules. Under his protection.

Soo-Won is very lucid. His actions are far from normal, his emotions are more than innocent. With his intelligence you'd expect him to notice such things, and he has. But perhaps his selfish need to feel such feelings has taken over. Only time will tell.

Caring, that's very clear. Soo-Won does on you quite a bit. Babying you and acting as your personal caretaker. This may be a blessing, a curse for others, but use this to your advantage if you will.

Possessive, Jealous — No. But overprotective and controlling — yes. There's no reason for Soo-Won to be jealous, after all only a fool would go after his beloved or make an effort to steal them.

Does a disease that has been incurable for thousands of years sound terrible? When Yona and his team just learned this secret, they could suddenly take the senjuu plant and treat it. How easy it is to solve this problem. Is it a miracle or it comes from God Mercy? In my opinion, this is ironic. They tried to hide the secret and Soowon struggled to live. But is it really important? It's just a small thing for Yona and the others.

“as we all expected they are going to get senjuso and instead of sending Yona it's Hak who is going wtf  Is this Kusa's way of saying she will lead the war? I want SW to get better but if senjuso somehow cures him it will be another big WTF moment because his disease is supernatural it shouldn't be cured with medecine or are we going to learn that Hiryuu brought it from heaven?”

Many diseases were incurable before we found a cure. That is not the thing that makes my head ache...rather that it is so simple...Like of course it is the strange senjuu plant that Yona and co knows...Soo Won and Mei have to take it and everything is fine. Boom. Problem solved.

As for the part with the supernatural disease...Well...we do not know the conditions so theoretically it may be still possible to at least prevent the death of the people involved.

Just that this issue was dragged so long along the way, that it is hilarious. I do think we know since at least 4-5 chapters if not more that Yoon considers the senjuu plant.

Why the heck does Hak go...I don´t know...so that he is not part of the war, I guess...It is a great move to send the strongest warrior away when an upcoming war is just ready to happen any day...

[freewilllife]

What are the things you like/dislike about soowon

I start with this the “dislike” first, since there are far fewer points:

1. The >>Crimson Illness<<

I think it is a convenient way to get rid of Soo Won...I mean how troubling would it have been if Yona and Hak had to really come to terms with Soo Won? And not to say, that there were pretty much no symptoms present. So yes...that he is supposed to literally die at such a young age...man!

2. The relationship between Yona and Soo Won

I do like their relationship,

since Yona and Soo Won both are compared to each other and not due to their different sexes!

since it is a pretty complicated relationship that changed over time...

First Yona was in love with him, then she fears him, then she hates him, then she realizes his reasons and understands him partly, but she cannot fogive him, yet she cannot forget his kindness...This is truly beautiful!

And Soo Won...he cares for her like a “mother”, but also wished for her warmth..He took care for her in the past, yet simultaneously, he is being taken care for...

Neither of the three realize how much they still mean for each other!

What I don´t like is that this relationship is rather sidelined...Hak and Soo Won´s relationship is more prominent up until now...

Things that I do like about him...Boy! Too much to mention, so I will only address the most important points...

1. Soo Won as an antagonist

Soo Won is not a typical villain who thinks it is so funny to be evil or who only thinks about himself, yet he is able to realize that there are consequences of his deeds that he has to accept...

Soo Won is clearly portrayed to react to his circumstances and I do think that some of his features can be easily explained by his past.

2. Soo Won possesses a wide range of relationships with all the different characters...(I mean I like the relationship between the 3 mains the most!)

Of course this is only a part of these various relationships...

3. Soo Won demonstrates many opposing features and I do consider this especially human and it is exciting to read about him...

Soo Won is a kind person at heart, but chose to be ruthless (He more or less had to surpress the kind part of himself

(Honestly I do wonder if not the relationship of his parents are a reason for that feature of himself...

He pretends to be silly and foolish...though I do think that he partly is such a person, but it also is a cover he uses to trick his enemies and potential followers...

This and that picture below are actually only one shot apart...

He loves people, but still keeps his distance...

4. Soo Won is more or less the person that drives the story forward...

Soo Won has a clear aim in mind that illustrate his past experiences...

His father used to be the protector of his country...and in order to do that, he committed horrible deeds

...Now his father was murdered by his uncle who put the country in danger...

So Soo Won whose sole existence as his mother´s son is a reason for the difficulties between his uncle and his father. Soo Won hates King Hiryuu and the curse he has placed upon his descendants....

Therefore it is really understandable that he truly favors the deeds of human beings and wants to have nothing to do with King Hiryuu...

But his aim or his plan are also the trigger for Yona´s journey and her decision to find the dragon warriors...(Also he really fulfills his plan...Yona often get involved with certain stages of it)....But that is the funny part...since Soo Won actually fears that development...

5. I love Soo Won´s weaknesses and insecurities...

Soo Won is pretty capable and somtimes he is even able to use his own weaknesses and turn it into a strength...like with his appearance and that his enemies often underestimate him...

But I also love that he cannot completely abandon neither Yona nor Hak...

That he adores his father extremely, yet I do think he is pretty much aware of his father´s shortcomings...Or how would you explain that face?

If Soo Won was completely sure that it is completely wrong and nothing could be said against his father, he would have not a face like this...(Though I still do think it would be funny if his cruelty was the reason, since I cannot remember a person that didn´t become king, because he was cruel to his enemies...However,..I do think his relationship with his mother and probably Soo Won were Yu hon´s weaknesses and that may be a reason, why he looks like this).

6. I love his stupid faces

[freewilllife]

How do you think Soowon feels about II, do you think there was ever a time where he loved him, I remember that I read in the akatsuki no yona Novell, that he mentioned something about the fact that he never got any steamed buns from II and hak always did, he seemed to have complicated feelings towards II, how would you describe his feelings towards him throughout his life( when he was a child, and as he was growing up)

In fact, Soo Won did. When he was a child.

Dear anon, we do not know, what exactly Soo Won felt, since we barely know something about their relationship.

But I try...

In his childhood Soo Won seemed to like his uncle. We hear him say no negative things. Soo Won merely associates positive things with his uncle or even defends him (however also partly for Yona´s sake.)

Look how happy he is about the good relationship between King Il and his daughter...

I guess that their relationship changed after the death of Yu hon...

I do think that this scene happened after Yu hon´s death since Yona´s hair is longer than in chapter 60 and 61 and this event happened directly before the death of Yu hon.

I do think this reaction is too forceful and unkind to a child that has just lost his father...(But that is merely my interpretation...)

However Soo Won seemed to have already planned to kill King Il, when he was 12 years old...

Soo Won already was aware of the relationship between Kai Empire and Kouka and the potential threat. He started to talk to Geuntae about it...It appears harmless, but I do think that it was all part of his goal to search for comrades, fellows.

A habit he also demonstrates later...

what is a fact is...that Soo Won was forbidden by King Il to take part in tournaments for example...even though far younger children of other tribes were able to participate.

When Soo Won is 18 years old, directly before the coup, both King Il and Soo Won pretend to be friendly towards each other...

However, one week before the coup, Soo Won actually rebelled against King Il´s wishes...just like the announcement of the later coup...

Honestly...we still don´t know if the nightmare of Soo Won was actually a memory or Soo Won´s own guilty conscience making up some things...

But we do know at least a couple of things about it...

First...King Il was the one, who told Soo Won about Yona being the reincarnation...

There is actually an interesting thing regarding this translation...Here it says “reincarnation of King Hiryuu”, which is pretty neutral...however the other version in later chapters says...

“the crimson dragon king��s avatar” as if Yona was merely a vessel for King Il...which was a little disturbing for me...If not for the previous chapter with Yon hi, where he also related to Yon hi as if she was an object...I would not have bothered...

In that context, it is very interesting how he refused the marriage between Soo Won and Yona...

“I cannot give Soo Won to you”...As if he was an object...Ironically KIng Il had explained how many things he had given her before...as if Soo Won was merely one of them...

So does King Il consider both Soo Won and even his own daughter merely objects or heavenly “chunk”, in Yona´s case a vessel ?

Let´s continue...Second we can also notice that Soo Won did not wish for Yona being the reincarnation, but not because he would be simply jealous, but because this person is the worst for Soo Won...

Third, however, for King Il it was really important that Yona was the reincarnation and seeing that he proudly told Soo Won about it, it seems as if it had not changed.

Look at the picture of the 30 year old Il, thinking that Yu hon “too, desired the king” and indirectly he admits therefore, that he craved for the “Red Dragon King”.

So here we have one thing that must have fueled Soo Won´s hate apart from the murder of Yu hon...

Then we leave the “facts”....

1. In Soo Won´s nightmare, we hear King Il declare that Yona will kill him (and therefore take revenge...)

2. We also see that King Il has already expected Soo Won...So it was no surprise to him that his nephew wished to kill him. He did not wonder why...which could be a proof that

a)he really killed his brother

b) or that he had the wrong image in the head since Soo Won was the heir of King Hiryuu, he would try to take the throne or

c) he kept a close watch on Soo Won´s activies and wished to play a martyr.

I think with King Il´s strange perception of King Hiryuu that naturally clashed with Soo Won´s, with the murder of Yu hon and most likely also King Il´s treatment of Soo Won...we have at least a possible explanation for Soo Won´s hate towards King Il

I hope I could help anon!

[freewilllife]

Who do you think SooWon loves more, his father or his mother?

I do think that he admires his father more than his mother...however, when he lay there in pain, he confused Yona with Yon hi...and he seemed to have greatly missed her.

That is why, I honestly don´t know. I just know that he greatly missed her, when he was a child and he still treasures her diary. He even grew his hair out like his mother...

I would say, that both of them are a part of him and he does clearly show it!

[freewilllife]

“Hi there,

after finishing the anime I am getting into the manga little by little :D

For someone who´s so picky about my readings, I am quickly getting addicted to it. And I couldn´t even wait until finishing my other all-time favorite manga. That says a lot…

So I initially decided to check Akatsuki no Yona while looking for another light-hearted romance. I found it by chance because it was featured in a bonus page of another manga (that´s cool). However to my surprise, the action, the story plot and the characters are what made me stay. I have been even wondering how amazing the mangaka´s mind is to create a genius character like Soowon, a precious dragon like Zeno and such a complicated story plot with many ethical dilemmas (I don´t only mean Soowon but Yona and her father as well).

The only thing that bothers me until now (I might be wrong since I still didn´t read the entire manga) is Hak´s character. I am trying hard to like him because, well he is the main character and I was looking for romance. But for such a popular main, surpassing Yona as fans favorite, I really find him empty and I am sad about that. I mean beside him being a typical shojo hero (perfect and flawless), he really doesn´t have a depth to him. He is just being a love interest and a king loyalist.

Anyway I hope being proved wrong later on. Because for now, the  story main character is Soowon, the romance main character is Hak and the story-romance main character is Yona. I hope he can get more development, I would like to see other aspects of him.

That´s being said, I think I will just go ahead and continue reading to find more.

Sorry for the long post. I really needed someone to whom I can express my new appreciation and ideas about the Akatsuki no Yona.

Looking forward the amazing story and your amazing posts :)”

Hi there!

Thank you for your kind words! And glad to hear that you started reading the manga! (If you had waited for the anime you would most likely never be able to finish the story, since it is questionable if there will ever be a continuation...^^).

It is nice talking with you!^^

Well...about Hak...I can understand your thoughts, because this was one of the things that bothered me at the beginning of the manga, too...

I have to admit that I am basically hardly interested in manga characters whose whole word revolves around one person, since they often lack dept and most likely since I can hardly understand such characters.

But I would say that this becomes better...but it is rather late...you have to read more than 100 chapters until Hak realizes that he has found a new family and his horizon will broaden...

But I think this is also a matter of taste...or it depends what you search for in a story...I love interesting flawed characters and difficult situations (for the characters), where there is hardly a clear right answer...

Except that I ship Soo Won x Lily that will most likely not come true, I am hardly interested in the romance present in Akatsuki no Yona. But like I said...it is a matter of taste!

Oh and for some interesting situations regarding Hak I recommened the following posts: 1,2,3.4,5,6

[freewilllife]

What type of person do you think soowon would be attracted to

Dear anon, do you wish to kill me? That guy doesn´t declare that he is attracted to anybody.

Oh...wait...that is not entirely true...let´s see...

Even though Soo Won seems to think that certain women are delicate beings ( He obviously doesn´t think so about Lily...^^), he did consider Yona rather a sister than a person one can have romantic feelings for...or be attracted in a certain way...

So let´s see...what makes Soo Won´s eyes sparkle...

So it seems that Soo Won does admire strength...and not only the physical kind...

We remember, that Soo Won changed (partly - I don´t think that he lied here, but I am not absolutely convinced that he considered Yona above all a woman) his point of view,since Yona was courageous enough to confess to him.

After all...all her clothes, make-up or parfums couldn´t get that reaction from him....

Here is another one...where you could interpret the situation like he would harbour some special feelings for Yona in a romantic kind of way...

That was when she acquired the fruit for the fire tribe...So not her physical appearance caused that reaction, but rather her achievements...

So yeah...I do think that Soo Won feels attracted to strong people (however not only in the physical sense!^^)

[freewilllife]

In your previous voice you mentioned how soowon has to talk to yona about some things, I’m just curious what things? Sorry I can kind of be a little oblivious

Don´t be sorry, I was pretty vague. 

I mean basically all the issues revolving around Yu hon and King Il...Soo Won´s intentions ( regarding the murder of Il, why he gave the hairpin) and past...but also Yona´s and Hak´s intentions...

Basically neither Hak, and Yona have a clue that Soo Won still loves them, nor does Soo Won.

All three won´t most likely become friends in this lifetime again, but I do think all three deserve to understand the other two people!

[freewilllife]

What do you think is soowons sexuality

Dear anon, that is truly a question that is rather hard to answer.

There is no definite proof what kind of sexuality Soo Won prefers. There are arguments and counter-arguments for every direction.

I know that many people think that Soo Won must be asexual.

Well, if that is your headcannon, there is nothing wrong about it. Nobody could prove that this is not the case.

He has never actually tried to vow anybody seriously, nor has he showed definite attempts to get together with either men, or woman.

However I personally am not really convinced. That guy has so much on his plate, that I would have rather wondered, if he had showed that much interest. Previously I just thought that the pressure to fulfill his father´s wish in a short amount of time might be enough, but now...

we know that he also suffers from a fatal illness, a hereditary disease and seems to suffer from feelings of guilt...Not exactly great conditions for the start of a relationship!

So I cannot completly outrule the possibility that Soo Won may feel attraction (in a sexual way...)

Now we discuss the next option: This is a shojo manga and in most cases we have the general boy x girl constellation:

Even in the first chapter, we get to see him blushing and actually expressing, that he starts to see Yona as a woman, however this guy thought of her previously as his sister.

I don´t think that he acts here. It seems real. And then we have the hairpin...his father gifted his mother previously also hairpins or a dress, if I remember correctly....so he could know what it implies?

But...but there could still be the case, that Soo Won saw a possibility to avoid the murder...Stupid, you say, why should he? Because he did not like to lose his two best friends? Maybe he saw a tiny possibility that was crushed by King Il...I know that this rather sounds pretty unlikely, but I will wait and see, until this strange occurence of the “hairpin” is properly explained. Since even Hak wondered about it several times, it is pretty likely that we will get the answer!

And there is the fact that he often remembers Yona rather as a child than a woman, which underlines rather a non-sexual explanation for his feelings towards her...

However, even if he is not attracted to Yona, that doesn´t mean he is not attracted to women in general...

Well...not too much evidence...I say...

Though the possibility that Soo Won could be into men is not treated very seriously in that manga.

Soo Won neither denies nor agrees.

Considering that he shows intensive feelings for Hak...it is not completely impossible...We remember...In his childhood Soo Won did look like this at Hak...

However, it may be only admiration between two boys who found their aim in the eyes of the other one...

So to end this little analyse that is very well not complete on Soo Won´s words...

Choose whatever you may like for this person that may die soon anyway, and that may be the reason, why romance or sexual attraction had no top priority...

[freewilllife]

Why do you think soowon told yona that II killed his father? Was he hoping that she would understand him better?

This is merely my take on the stiuation! So be aware of it!

Whatever happened between King Il and Soo Won...it must have been emotional. I don´t think that Soo Won only moved in front of King Il and drove his sword into him...No...I do think that the conversation...their last conversation was pretty disturbing for him...

He planned to kill King Il, but he must have had feelings that had affected him greatly...and then he killed King Il...directly after that moment...

Yona rushed in...completely disturbed...She cannot believe her eyes...She refuses to believe what she already knows...That Soo Won - her beloved Soo Won killed her father...

I think it was enough for Soo Won...all these years...he had to hide his true feelings and thoughts...Now, after her father told him all kinds of things that must have been painful for him...Yona refused to see...

I think he just had the wish to tell her for once...to show himself for once...I think it was less because he wanted her to forgive him, but rather he wanted her to see him...Just to be true for once...

I think he also had the strong urge to talk with any person at that moment. I really don´t think he wanted to protect her in any sense...

I think this was the time he felt the coldest towards her and I think he might have considered to kill her in that moment. I don´t condemn him, but I can understand Hak´s reaction, too.

[freewilllife]

How do you think soowon felt when he used to visit yona? Do you think that he felt bitterness due to her being the reincarnation even then? Do you think their was tainted when they were young by everything that soowon knew, that yona didn’t?

I don´t think that Soo Won hated Yona during their childhood, he merely tried to keep a little distance with her...

Yona was more a source of warmth for him...But from the beginning.

Yona´s mother died and her father was not able to console his only child.

But Soo Won tried to substitute Yona´s mother. While it appears as a simple selfless act...it could be that...

Soo Won could understand Yona pretty well. During the time, when the three discovered their friendship and fell ill, Yu hon expresses that “Soo Won´s mother could catch an illness”...Knowing that the Crimson illness doesn´t kill immediately, it is likely that the first symptoms showed.

It seems that Soo Won already missed his mother.

Seeing this picture here, Soo Won doesn´t appear older...Could it be directly after the murder of Yu hon considering the length of Yona´s hair.

On the other hand it could be also shortly before...

I think that Soo Won could most likely sympathize with Yona due to that...and the connection they built helped him most likely in the first time...

That is why Soo Won didn´t wish to acknowledge that Yona was the reincarnation of the person he hated the most...
