start up would have been bearable if in the THREE YEARS of transition period we got to see both jipyeong and in jae trying to give dalmi advice and slowly fall in love b/c of all those “OMG that’s what I was going to say!” moments and have ji pyeong realize that it’s not dal mi, but the family he’s drawn to??? and then him and dal mi have a cute platonic relationship while him and in jae have a cute stammering mess of a shy budding romance b/c both of them can be so reserved?? and then they stand together w/ in jae’s head on jipeyong’s shoulder while they proudly watch dal mi bloom and grow? like both these characters have had to build cold exteriors in order to overcome the lack of warmth they recieved in their childhood and what could be better than to have them melt away all the anxiety and hurt through mutual love and healing? anyways
