Warnings: Violence, Death

A cold terror washed over your timid figure as you forced yourself to look into the eyes of the stoic man that stood before you. Your hands were trembling under his own, the shiver beginning to travel through the rest of your body. Despite your fear, you couldn’t look away, not when there was a searing pain nailing its way through the back of your skull due to the knowledge that somewhere in this lavishly decorated hall, there resided a person with a gun pointed straight at your head.

You heard words being spoken to you, the voice echoing through your eardrums, but you still refused to break your gaze from the man stood in front of you. His eyes were blank, his face unreadable. It unsettled you. However, his identity was all the more terrifying. All the things he could do with the snap of his fingers. All the people that could disappear with a whisper from his lips. It petrified you.

But, you couldn’t refuse him. You’d made a promise. A promise you intended to keep no matter how much you wished you could choose a different path. Sucking in a shaky breath, you whispered the two words that would honour your father’s dying wishes, sealing your fate forever.

“I do.”

This is not his house.

Yet, this is his kitchen. Or, rather, it was.

This space, tilted and cavernous, is not a tangible reality.

But it could be.

It could be - it feels frighteningly as though it is, and so it is the spoon that makes him unsettled.

Think about it, what other feeling could possibly give them the urge to humiliate, insult, put down, invalidate, sabotage, shame and ridicule their own kids?

yall always accuse us as being delusional, we are hurting our idols, you make them uncomfortable, they can’t be real, your idols don’t like overboard shippers, don’t impose gay on them because they will stop interacting

but when did kaisoo ever showed discomfort? they always have moments. they always waved at fan signs. they always match clothes. They wear each other clothes. they eat together. they mention each other all the time on interviews / anywhere. They praise kink  each other all the time. They show appreciation for each other all the time. Ji call ks jagi and he responded. They are so happy together, and so happy to have kaisoo supporters.

Of course, anon! I’ve been looking forward to writing this, haha.

Just a disclaimer, since I’m covering three days worth of moments, I’m not going to talk about everything that happened. If a moment is excluded, it’s because a similar moment has occurred in the past and I’ve touched on it in previous analyses or it was too ambiguous.  

A. 180713

There was one major new moment that stuck out to me when reviewing all that occurred on the first day of the dot concerts.

Moment #1- JI laughing and draping himself over KS [x]

During an mnet, JI found something particularly funny and as he laughs, he reaches for KS. He initially has one of his hands on one shoulder, but soon reaches over so he’s draped over both of KS’s shoulders. Towards the end of the video, he moves closer and appears to raise his leg behind KS.

It’s a known fact that when JI laughs, he tends to be very handsy which is exactly what’s taking place here. He originally grabs onto KS’s shoulder for support, which is something that a lot of people do when they find something comical. Using these (×) images to examine the secondary part of this, JI appeared to have also use the opportunity to gauge KS’s reaction. He gains purchase on KS’s shoulders then slings his frame onto KS’s front so he could look up and assess if KS also found the joke as hilarious as he did. I think he just raises his leg in reaction to whatever he found amusing.

As I’ve mentioned before, JI and KS both have a distinctive habit of checking each other’s reaction when something that induces laughter happens. This usually happens among pairs that are particularly close as they want to share their joy with each other/check to see if their reaction is appropriate for the situation. If a member of the pair notices that the other person isn’t laughing along, they usually adjust themselves to match the other person’s reaction. A great example would be JI’s reaction to jokes directed at KS during the Knowing Bros episode (x- read section entitled Space Invasion & Gauging).

Additional Notes

There were three other moments that I noticed, but didn’t think they needed a “in-depth” look.

Moment #1- Question [x][x]

SH posed a question to KS that he didn’t hear, so JI stepped up and repeated the question for him. It’s not much, but it just reinforces how JI is there to support KS.

[Similar moments: see first “long” gif]

Moment #2- KS touching JI’s face [x]

While another ment is taking place, JI, KS, and CY are conversing amongst themselves. At one point, JI points to something on KS’s face (to play a small prank on him), but KS doesn’t see him. CY taps KS to get his attention at the same time as JI, but KS pays attention to JI who’s gesturing again. Thinking that JI is referring to something on his face, KS reaches over to touch the area that JI highlighted only for JI to reciprocate the action to tell KS that he was talking about him.

Normally, I would believe that most people would instinctively touch their own face first when someone motions to them in the way that JI did to KS. However, KS’s predisposition to caretake shows itself here as he’s naturally ready to think about helping JI before he thinks about helping himself.

Moment #3- Universe passing touch [x]

As they changed platforms, JI and KS briefly hold hands.

This is something that for as long as I’ve watched KD, I’ve noticed them do and as seen in this moment, KS is usually the one to initiate it. The moment reads to me as a way to acknowledge each other as JI and KS cross paths since they can’t ignore each other’s presence.
