Imagine Puen getting out of the airport with that white bucket hat & getting photographed by paparazzi😭
And once he & Talay return from the parallel world as lovers, start adjusting back into their original lives.
A time will come where their relationship becomes official & known to the world.
AND THEN IMAGINE Puen repeatedly wearing that white hat & telling in interviews that he wears it coz his lover drew that alpaca which looks like a lama.
A reminder that this beautiful scene exists 😭
The sincerity of this just punched me in the gut. Dayeol is not even mad about the poor treatment he received from Taehyun.
He rather sees the boy with trust issues and just wishes that Taehyun learns to open his heart one day.
As if that isn't pure love right there. To understand and try to move on, while wishing them the best. With genuine intentions.
Dayeol had every right to be angry but he chose not to.
Tho? Aek? Natsu? LEON?!!!
Now if they doesn't give a proper cameo THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES 😭😤
Nooooo that’s so cute 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Do y’all realize that “SOTUS” and “Yuri on Ice” were airing at the same time in 2016? Two legendary series that had seismic impacts on the world just casually airing in their respective countries simultaneously.
I just think that’s neat.
Part 2/4
Now that we have identified his 2 personalities let's go back a to where all the trouble started.
Kim being surprised that an experienced bodyguard like Big was replaced with a newbie due to his injury. The more he learnt about the preferential treatment Prosche received from both Kinn & Korn, he immediately smelled something fishy. So he decides to do the background check Korn deliberately didn't.
When he discovers Porchay is Porsche's brother he doesn't hesitate to take advantage of his fanboy. He never intended to be cruel, he considered it an exchange for the time he would invest in tutoring.
Disclosing that Kim & WIK are 2 sides of the same coin was a calculated move. He knew that the Kittisawads & Theerapanyakuls' fates would only get more intertwined in future. (Also notice how Kim mentions "sad love song" to Big in their conversation. Could that mean he knew about Big's feelings for Kinn without anyone telling?) However, he is not subtle in ways (lucky Kim that Porchay was too näive to suspect) possibly due to lack of social engagement.
Kim's only miscalculation was his budding feelings for Porchay. He is barely in touch with his feelings to be able to do something before it's too late. We see Kimhan smiling only when he discovers Chay fanboying over him (the texts & his room wall) or when Chay is singing. So it is not Kim, but WIK the artist & tutor falling for Porchay.
So in essence, Kim asked him to write a song on Porsche but WIK fell in love with the song. WIK asked him to write a love song & WIK fell in love with Chay.
Kimhan doesn't even realize his feelings until he can't help but smile at the song dedicated for him. (Let's just take a moment to appreciate it 🤭)
He acknowledges his feelings for the first time when the thought of Porchay clears his creative block. After all, for an artist, you know you're in love when they become your muse.
He is well aware that he has to stop seeing Porchay so that both their feelings don't get hurt. But WIK takes over Kim when Porchay shyly confesses. (Seriously, as if he wasn't cute enough already - Porchay reveals he promised God he would risk confessing to his celebrity crush. How could someone NOT melt at that innocence)
For the first time in the series we see Kim follow his heart over his head like most humans. Considering he let himself feel happy despite his overly practical self. It goes a long way to highlight the intensity of his feelings.
Like a well crafted character his personality doesn't change overnight. His original habits resurface very soon.
He stares at his own hand in happiness mingled with guilt. Yes he would love to vow to protect Porchay's innocent sunshine smile & teenage dreams. Forever. But he hates himself. Because he can't. Nothing can help him escape his reality. He's a Theerapanyakul. He's a threat to anyone he loves. He's not allowed to love.
He feels unworthy of someone who says "I love you" without expecting anything in return. He hates himself for letting himself be happy & forget all this worries. He would have left Porchay with a note that day if not for the mishap.

Puen & Talay falling for each other & not at the same time is so bittersweet.
They've practically grown attached to the person they don't entirely know even after a year together.
Puen knows Talay's dreams as a colorist, that he dislikes all but bacon pink. He has a sweet tooth. Plays guitar. Sings well. He's very sincere and serious when it comes to people & emotions. But he doesn't know why he gives mixed signals to his obvious flirting. Why he's so determined to push him away. He has no clue why such a ball of sunshine is cynical about love. Puen knows a lot about Talay's details like name & birthday. The fact that his entire life as "Tun" has started revolving around Talay isn't helping him at all. The possible reason he's keeping secrets I've mentioned here.
Talay can't accept a person he doesn't know. He has seen Puen be his most vulnerable self. Sure he might be confident, independent & flirty. But ultimately he's just a clingy baby around Talay. He's playful, lively. There's hardly any dull moment with him. Talay finds himself naturally drawn to him. He subconsciously observes everything this "Tun" does.
But the guessing game hurts. Sure, he's falling for "Tun" the playful, clingy & sensitive boy at his core. But how can he accept someone whose name he doesn't know. How will he find him once they go back. What will he do if they don't go back to together. If he's going to date, he's not going to waste time unless they're in it for the long run. And that also means Talay needing preparation to adjust to Puen's schedules & fame.
Communication can solve the problem. However the problem is also their fear of losing each other after initiating the difficult conversation. This is a classic trope for falling for a best friend except, they do not fall under any label at this point.
We know Pakorn was had a crush on Tess who seemed to be oblivious about it,
what if Puen after switching bodies with him is naturally attracted to even before knowing it's Talay in Tess body because Tun's heart in his body already yearns for Tess.
And we know Tess is oblivious so Talay doesn't really feel anything in first glance until they get to know each other.
So basically Puen is double whipped. Towards Tess that Pakorn's heart wants but Tess is now actually Talay, his real world crush. 🙃
The first time was in the real world.
The second time was Pakorn's heart confusing him on seeing Tess.
The third time is when he learns Tess is actually Talay, who is a very caring ball of sunshine.
Boy is not okay 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
Part 4/4
For the first time Kim almost immediately loses his composure on hearing Porchay didn't turn up for his college interview.
Let's take a moment to appreciate how deep Porchay's love was. 😭 He must have dreamt of joining music school after idolising WIK. The more he got to know him, his idol became his muse & first love. (There's a quote which says "Love is creating a religion with a fallible God") He loved him with all his heart so when WIK left so did Porchay's ability to make art 🥺🥺🥺🥺
The vexed person here is not Kim but WIK. He was surprised after hearing even teachers found Porchay as promising as he did. He did spend time tutoring Chay & as a teacher, he was hoping his student to do well.
He also knows Chay is neither incapable nor weak. He was not like regular kids whose main struggles were graduating high school or getting into college. Porchay was coping with their uncle's betrayal. Porsche abruptly leaving him alone with a letter & no way of communication. He was fighting his battles alone the whole time & still managed to stay positive.
Kim probably went thinking Porchay lost confidence & needs reassurance. But then he realized he had been a monster all along. Because it hit him that WIK was the reason Porchay learnt to dream. And KIM was the one who crushed it.
When Porchay tells him off, Kim realises for the first time that he's not in position to lecture anyone. Now that he let someone know about his double life, who was he to teach about separating personal & professional lives? What right did he have to tell anything, when Porchay reminded that he never interfered in Kim's life?
When Kim left warning "From now on, what you do is your darn decision" I don't think he meant, "I'm no longer going to care about you or protect you."
Rather, he must have meant, "You're growing into an adult who needs to take responsibility of his life. So don't do anything that you would regret later." He's right. Porchay should have prioritised college. He's got a long life ahead to wallow, date & break up.
But it doesn't look right when it's coming from Kim, who grew up the way he did, has almost no issues listening to his head over his heart, and is now failing to either hold on or let go. He first leads him on, breaks his heart, and still continues to show up like a knight in shining armor. Only walk away without even an elaborate apology. He can't nurse his broken heart & move on until you withdraw from his life P'Kim😪
Now ik we're all rooting for a happy ending for our y/n x celebrity in a mafia au 😂
It's unrealistic to expect Kim to turn into this openly affection person with good communication skills. It's also weird if Porchay adjusts seamlessly into the world of organised crime. Yes even I want Kim to go out of his way & give Porchay a grand apology. I also hope Porchay says that he understands but he's still hurt. That he takes his time to heal & forgive.
A believeable happy ending would be the one where Porchay agrees to make an effort to understand Kim & his life. Meanwhile Kim stops separating parts of himself and promises to love Porchay as Kimhan Theerapanyakul instead WIK or KIM.
Love is not an end result but the efforts made every single day.

Kinn: how can you say I don't value our friendship! I got us connecting bracelets!
Porsche: Kinn, these are handcuffs
Kinn: yeah, friendship handcuffs
#kinn be acting like subtle is his middle name #you're lucky Porsche finds you adorable #kinnporsche the series #kinnporsche #kinn Theerapanyakul #Porsche Pachara Kittisawat #desperate times call for drastic measures #fake dating is too old school how about getting handcuffed in a forest #and it's compulsory to fall in love for the sake of the plot
Idk what to call it but Karasuno is likened to crows & 'kage' (ಕಾಗೆ) in kannada language means crow... Their setter's name is literally 'Kage'yama.
