Throwing bricks, shitting walls, banging heads, vomiting because
No matter how old you are, no matter where you are, there will always be something so special and comforting about running into the arms of a guardian or parent and feeling safe and protected.
Despite the fact that physically, Jinmu is currently decades younger than him and also smaller than him, Gonghu still runs into his arms like a small child, seeking care, comfort, and protection from a parent.
Because Jinmu had known him since he was a child, and supported him when his father had died, protected him, trained him, cared for him, as this invincible, otherworldly figure that could simply flick away an army with ease. And when Jinmu died as Hyeok Ryeon Mugang, his worldview had been shattered; he’d been broken by the news that his father-figure, whom he’d seen as untouchable, had died, had left him.
So when he’s in a time of need, he’s desperate, he needs help, protection, and guidance more than ever, and like always, just as he remembered, Jinmu is there to guide him, back from the dead, just as untouchable as he remembered him being? Of course, he reverts to this childish habit of his of running into Jinmu’s arms, because he’s back, he’ll protect him, he’ll help.
(Except Jinmu isn’t the same; Jinmu is weak. He can’t be the same figure of invincibility and protection that he once was. Not anymore)
