he should totally wear a bra for her, maybe even a cute matching lingerie set
long post ahead, sorry!
spent hours working out the timeline and going through the whole story again and i think if i understand correctly, there is a time skip somewhere around 446-452, with 452 definitely occurring in the future and that is where we are now. we can assume through context that he tian left sometime after high school (we know from the christmas chapters that he tian went through high school bc jian yi talks about how the three of them are in uni while jian yi is going through high school bc we know from the early chapters that jian yi gets kidnapped his second day of high school and does not return until zhan zhengxi's uni days) and after leaving he tian did not keep contact with mo. not sure exactly why he tian left but i assume it is related to his brother and/or getting money to provide for mo. we also know from the christmas chapters that he tian returns on christmas day in the future (so during their uni days) so the current chapters are occuring either during or directly after their uni days and after he tian has returned and pretty soon after he returned since mo is still clearly upset. we also know since they are still in uni or maybe just graduated uni (based on zhan zhengxi job searching now) that he tian left for about 2-4years. i hope this helps, it took me so long to piece this together (￣∇￣")
decided to compare time posted to my previous topic and this took me 3 hours to sort out ;-;
Thank you, it's explain why Mo put tape on tian's face photo.
I love you, thank you for this
"i dont want you to like me more and more, these words are lies"
WHAT IF I JUST EXPLODE INTO A MILLION PIECES
So I don’t understand who said that exactly??
it was a note he tian wrote early on! he tian said "i dont want you to like me more and more" to mo when they were just meeting, but this note clarifies that he lied in that moment. mo finds the note ~ch 307 in a jacket he was given much earlier, this here shows that mo kept that note for years because it meant so much that he tian really did want to get closer to mo from early in their friendship/relationship!
awww i love them so much, theyre my sweet little guys
this chapter was so indulgent to me, idc what anyone else thinks
"long long years of undergraduate studies"
im in undergraduate studies rn and i only have 3 more semesters (including the one that just started) left and i feel like the years have flown by, i wish the years were long so i would feel more prepared ╥﹏╥
the fact they didnt even show him on the runway -_-
music being the metaphor omgggg ╥﹏╥(≧∀≦)
also can confirm that prom is pretty lame tbh, maybe its also bc im disabled and cant dance but i spent most of the night sitting at my table with a balloon animal while my friends danced and occasionally they would come and talk to me when they needed a break. post-prom was much better bc we just had a sleepover at someone's house and chilled which i could still be a part of despite my disabilities :)))
I always wondered what prom is like since we dont really have it in my country. We do have like a big party made by the students, but its more going to a club, not an event.
It's definitely not disability-friendly. At least homecoming dances aren't, I skipped prom. Maybe it was because our venue was so small and there was so many people but it was suffocating and there's no way someone in a wheelchair or using crutches would be able to get into the gym where the dancing was
Prom is only fun if you have friends or a date. Otherwise, you might just be standing around, super awkward and lonely. Prom is meant for dancing/partying, so if you’re shy and alone, it’ll be hard to get a good experience.
My school wasn’t super rich, but they rented a venue and provided easy to eat foods and cheap drinks. It’s ok since I had friends that were going. I paid $90 for my ticket and lowkey regretted it at the end of the night. Best part of the night was probably finding somewhere to eat after prom. 90% of the kids that attended had the same idea and basically ate at a nearby Dennys.
i like the story overall but potential hot take, i did not like that proposal scene. the fact that after YEARS haneum was still so insecure in their relationship that he thought he was making ipsae uncomfortable and even was prepared to have to get new rings bc he expected ipsae to not like anything he picked out is honestly so sad. dont get me wrong, i liked this story and even thought they were cute together but that moment just makes me sad and makes me think that haneum deserves better
To be honest, I don’t think that’s ipsaes problem. Haneum should know by now what type of jewellery would suit ipsae as well as ipsaes preferences. Also, I’m sure 80% of people who propose are actually terrified of getting a no or making a mistake or making their lover uncomfortable by rushing things. Yea they’ve been together for a long time but he knows ipsae was, for the longest time, super uncomfortable with even the word “commitment” and that he valued his freedom over absolutely everything else. Ipsae still has those values and you can see that in him questioning if he’ll get bored but ipsae has changed in that freedom is not his TOP priority now. That doesn’t make it not a priority to his, just less of one. Haneum knows all this. It’s not sad for him and honestly he doesn’t deserve “better”. He got a man who changed his priorities and changed his actions and whole demeanour to accommodate his lover. He was crying cause he’s a crybaby who cries at everything. It was a beautiful written proposal and everything was fairly realistic for how proposals go.
your partner, especially the one you are marrying, should NEVER make you feel like a burden and that is specifically the word haneum uses. it is not the fact he is nervous, it is the fact he is insecure in the relationship itself and therefore thinks that asking to be married is burdensome for ipsae. if you have been in a relationship for years, those feelings should no longer be an issue bc you will have communicated with your partner and figured out a way to make both people feel loved in the relationship and worked out any issues with commitment before this point. i feel sorry for anyone who feels genuine fear of being a burden to their partner while proposing.
He does know ipsae loves him. That’s why he got the ring and that’s why he’s content in their relationship. You’re literally reading wayyyy too far into things. Most people get cold feet right before any big life altering decisions. That’s normal. To suggest that it’s not is incorrect. And it IS a burden. I know people like to romanticise it but marriage absolutely is a burden that you both share and that should be fully considered before you get started. He’s not at all insecure in their relationship. He literally said “if I were to overanalyse everything in the past and present, I would end up hurting you”. He doesn’t even have a shadow of a doubt about his partner or his partners feelings. He’s entirely worried that he will be putting too much pressure on his partner too soon. There’s nothing sad or worrisome about that. You’d feel the same before asking your partner to move in or to ask your partner if they are ready for kids. These are relationship burdens. The only difference is that the burdens in a relationship should be shared and halved. If one person is more burdened than the other, it creates resentment. Haneum wants to make sure that the burden of marriage falls equally on the two of them so that they can continue to work equally hard in this relationship. You sound like you’re jealous of ipsae and that you’re trying to do anything and everything you can to discredit him. Are you sure you aren’t biased? It also sounds like you’ve never actually been in a long term committed relationship either since this is all common knowledge.
i have been in a long term committed relationship before yes. and i wouldnt call these burdens, burdens are associated with the thing being bad, all the things you mentioned change relationships and can add stress on them, but they are not inherently burdens or negatives for the relationship. also to suggest im jealous of a fictional character is actually crazy, i genuinely laughed when i saw that. anyway i guess we have to agree to disagree, but i stand by what i said abt how feeling like a burden to your partner is sad and shouldnt be the case.
