BL dramas

Instead of being shocked—which, fair enough, would’ve been a reasonable reaction because yes, there have been sparks between them and it’s perfectly normal for both of them to be confused—I think Rak actually felt relieved.

Relieved that it wasn’t just him feeling something.

Relieved that Barth wasn’t simply teasing him the way he teases everyone else.

Relieved that Barth doesn’t, in fact, like Cherry.

And most importantly, relieved that if Barth likes anyone, it might actually be him.

Barth’s sexuality has almost always been met by anger; his dad, school mates etc. But here Barth is asking Tanrak’s in an almost pleading voice if he’s angry because that’s the only reaction he probably knows. I almost hear the silent “Please don’t be mad at me too” in his voice. For all his seemingly bold, cocky, teasing behaviour, in this moment you hear the unsure and scared teenager that hasn’t been dealt the nicest cards.

See you at work
