(1/2) As youāve pointed out before, thereās always been this awkward and almost uncomfortable dynamic between Dae and Senguri. Iāve been musing on it lately, especially so when I stumbled on this one translation of Daeās interview. You know his analogy of BB being a 5 piece puzzle? Well the interviewer said how it was a āmiraculous 5 piece groupā and he replied questioning if 5 piece was good, or was 4 piece better while pointing to Senguriās picture.
(2/2) It definitely was treated as a joke at that time, but looking at it now? Hm. Youāre right about your recent post, though, the signs were always thereā¦
Oh do not even get me started. Iāve been obsessed with the DaeRi dynamic for years and have written about it probably more than is healthy ā the underlying tension, the awkwardness, the strained attempts at appearing close when they seemed anything butā¦
Hereās the first thing that popped into my head upon reading this ask, probably because I was reconsidering this fan account just last week (from D na Show, 8/25/17):
At the time I remember being like, āDude, Daesung! What is your deal with Seungri?ā I didnāt find it funny and I couldnāt understand why he would let something like that slip out. And then try to make up for it with āclosest, most lovedāā¦ unless that was sarcasm. Hard to tell from text alone. Of course I didnāt like it when he said stuff like this, but I figured there had to be a reason for it. Had to be.
Next, I was watching that time capsule clip from Welcoming Collection 2017 last night and landed on this little DaeRi interactionā¦ pretending to have jumped 5 years into the futureā¦
The others jump on the joke. For the sake of brevity, YB says, āHey Seungri, I heard your news. Is that problem solved? Seungri kept calling me to borrow money.ā
In some US prisons the only way you can see and speak with the inmates is through cameras ā i.e., video calls. Not sure if this is how itās done in Korea or if thatās what he meant, but yāknow. Also, missing Seungriās callā¦ call from prison?
Thatās when Seungri tries to steer the conversation in another direction, deciding to go for Daesungās looks (because he started itā¦?)
There was a surprisingly long pause between this and Daesungās reply, which, when it came, I thought was a little weak by his standards (āI didnāt get surgery on the eyes.ā) Heās usually better (read: sassier) than thatā¦ and quicker. He definitely missed a beat or two. I think Seungri caught him off-guard with that one.
Letās be real, DaeRi could be catty with each other when they wanted to be. Thereās a reason why they often ended up fighting in my fics.
