(This is my eighth time rereading this and I can't get enough)
I want to really break down the metaphors that are pretty abundant in this Manhwa (or at least try)
The peach: We are told by Geom-woo's brother that he likes peaches after Beom offers him one of the peaches he picked for Geom-woo. There is a clear comparison in to Beom and the peach. Geom-woo wants to eat the peach up because he likes it so much. We then learn from his brother again though he likes peaches it's unlikely for him to eat it if offered from someone else. But he likes/trusts Beom so much that he's willing to let himself actually indulge in what he likes.
The seasons: This one is a bit more difficult to understand but I eventually got it after a few reads. Spring is a season was can assume Geom-woo likes and he uses it to refer to his romantic feelings towards Beom. So winter in this sense is any hard times or anyone who's against their spring (or happiness). Which is why he wants to hide his spring (Beom) away from winter. Eventually though Beom becomes all the seasons to him and not just spring.
Chapter 24: Not exactly a metaphor but I think it deserves it's own little moment. We see a tiger walking up to a wisteria tree either in late winter/early spring (because of the melting snow on the ground). The Tiger is meant to be Beom and the Wisteria tree meant to be Geom-woo. I think it ties into the season Metaphor since Geom-woo is specifically hiding Beom from winter but I think it represents their relationship lasting through the tough times or really just their relationship in general.
Chapter 28: Not a metaphor or anything but technically this is the chapter they marry each other metaphorically since they can't literally!!!
Chapter 29: Not a metaphor at all just wanted to point out a reoccurring thing that Geom-woo does to avoid conversations he doesn't want to have with Beom. He redirects it towards something he knows Beom likes. In the previous chapter (in the dream) it was about the apricots and if you haven't caught it by now Beom like picking fruits and he likes flowers and in this ones it's towards sweets he likes.
