(221107) cheek pinching wars 🤏
Win's color is blue. Loyal, free, trustworthy, and stable.
Team's color is red. Impulsive, passionate, intensive, and stimulating.
We see their colors throughout the first episode
Bonus: Win's poster is Nirvana (emotionally charged grudge rock band), while Team's is Definitely, Maybe (a romcom) correction - Oasis, the British rock band's album.
We saw the colors in the promo images as well, and also notice Win is the one usually reaching out to comfort Team.
Their backpacks will be the most common form of their colors but look for other items that include the colors.
In the final scene of episode one, we see the two have distinct physical boundaries due to the background curtains.
Win is on the darker side while Team is on the lighter side. However, they provide balance with the hair colors and shirt colors.
As Win continues to ask Team more questions to gauge his level of consent, the boundaries merge as Win starts to move into Team's space (reaching out as usual)
They are now in the bright space in the middle surrounded by the darker color. Even though this will remain a secret between them *wink*, they are fully aware of what they are doing (the light in the darkness).

Between Us fans, I have a question:
Is Win actually meant to be a player (a la Prapai from LITA or Khai in TOL) or is that meant to be a misconception that Team has built up in his head?
Team obviously has a lot of anxiety about the casualness of their relationship. And the conversation he has with ABC at the bar in ep 3 seems to confirm that Win has a lot of options. But just because a lot of girls like Win doesn’t mean he’s dating them, and this information is coming from people who don’t know Win any better than Team does.
The narrative so far never actually shows Win playing the field or fending off admirers. There’s no scenes of girls or boys flocking around him or of him deleting numbers etc. Tul and Dean tease him about not being serious with anyone, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that Win dates lots of people–it could just imply that the people he does date don’t move beyond casual.
It doesn’t bother me if Win is a player. I’m more just wondering if this is an instance of Team (and others) not understanding who Win actually is. His whole “cool guy” exterior does seem to imply that lots of people would have crushes on him, but he seems to go through life with a tight knit group of people he really values and for all that he worries about impressing Team, he doesn’t seem overly concerned with how anyone else views him.
OKAY SO
This scene is actually set between episodes 1 and 2 of Between Us
We know this because this happened BEFORE Team called off ‘sick’! Because later on in UWMA we get the moment where Team isn’t in Uni and Pharm gets his loud noise trigger -
This means that the scene in Team’s bedroom where Win brings him food ISN’T the first time they’d interacted since the swim camp! THEY’VE SHARED A CAR HOME TOGETHER AT LEAST ONCE before Win told Team ‘yo I did actually enjoy hooking up with you’ (which makes me wonder where did Team think he was dropping Win off if he didn’t realise they live in the same building?)
Now, we see this moment happens even little later on in UWMA; in the scene where Pharm meets Team with snacks after his swim practice, Team says that Dean left earlier in the evening:
This means that THIS SCENE:
Is happening at the SAME TIME as THIS SCENE:

Team should probably go to therapy for what are clearly unresolved-trauma-based anxiety issues but instead he got himself a blonde emotional support playboy
