[Image ID: fanart of Jae-ha and Kija both stuck in their respective jar next to each other. Jae-ha smiles a bit nervously and Kija is blasé. End ID]

what if we both had our butt stuck in a jar together...and we were both men...

[Image ID: Slight edit of the first fanart, except this time Jaeha and Kija hold hands from their respective jar. Kija is smiling happily and Jaeha looks at him slightly flustered. Jae-ha's ponytail form a heart.] There are sparkles all around them. End ID]

[ID: panels from two different chapters of “yona of the dawn. the first, from chapter 75, shows gija and jaeha leaning against a tree; gija sitting down, and jaeha standing; they're both injured, and gija is in a visibly worse state, with bandages wrapped around his head and neck. from off page, yun says, “gija, you're the most severely injured and exhausted. get some rest!”, and jaeha adds, “you're dreadful at pacing yourself, gija.” to which gija responds, “wha—?! that's not true!” jaeha says, “you're always on the front lines and constantly attack at full strength. if you keep being so reckless, you'll get yourself killed.” gija determinedly responds, “i would gladly give my life...to protect her highness.” jaeha doesn't say anything else but he continues watching gija with a slightly exasperated expression. the second, from the third gaiden chapter, shows gija staring up at the sky in awa, saying, “i intended to give my entire life to my duty as a dragon. but to imagine i would keep living beyond that…i feel very fortunate to have been granted that.” end ID.]

[ID: a page from the third gaiden chapter of “yona of the dawn”. gija is sitting in a tall jar, excitedly saying, “hak! isn’t that hak! long time no see! when i arrived in awa for work, i suddenly remembered how jaeha got stuck in a jar…it made me want to try it. i can’t get out.” hak deadpans, “and that guy is pressed against baggage at the moment. this gag has overstayed its welcome.” gija manages to get out of the jar, revealing a new outfit consisting of a short jacket reminiscent of a majia but with half-sleeves attached, a long-sleeved robe reminiscent of a changshan but with differently placed slits on the bottom half, and a hat. he’s also wearing a small cross-body pouch beneath the jacket and a backpack. he says, “i didn’t think i would meet you here. you crossed paths with jaeha too?” and hak replies, “yeah, but he’s heading to sensui now.” to which gija says, “ohh, i see.” end ID.]

[ID: a sketch cropped to focus on jaeha and gija from “yona of the dawn”. gija is resting his head on jaeha’s shoulder, pointing to the side and speaking, while jaeha is leaning down slightly and gazing at gija, smiling and holding his chin between his thumb and index finger. end ID.]

cut to the feeling

[ID: two pieces of official “yona of the dawn” art, featuring gija and jaeha respectively. gija is wearing a light violet half-sleeved dāhù with large peonies on the sleeves, over a high-collared black robe with tight long sleeves. jaeha is dressed in an off-white high-collared robe with honey-colored edges and clasps, and a matching open outer layer. they’re both smiling softly. the backgrounds of both illustrations are a light sepia tone, with gija’s including several purple peonies that match the ones on his clothes, while jaeha’s is plain aside from kusanagi’s signature. end ID.]
