Third time commenting after this chapter btw

I began rereading and in the second chapter when the string first shows up kihoon jokingly says ‘You sure you didn’t tie this to me while I was sleeping? You naughty boy, you!’ which knowing their backstory and how the string between them ‘began’/ first appeared was so sick and twisted (based and cool) of the creator to write.

Edit: in chapter 6 yeon pictures his (not really) unrequited love as a nobleman of old falling for a commoner (though kihoon here is not depicted as a general/retainer but as a woodcutter? Idk he has an axe). Soop2rang was having too much fun with this lmao.

Edit 2: in chapter 12-13, yeon sees his past self’s painting and instructions on how to connect the string by force through the boulder.
