#osudana

first off!!! osu calling out to dana specifically reminds me of that other time he called her out like:

it seems like dana’s in a different neighborhood than the one showed above, even though she’s prolly around spoon’s building since in this point of idwtkoh they’re close to catching knife, however… osu caught her once again nd we’ve been knowing he’s been meaning to talk to her so… has he been remembering her fave spots again hmm?

and then he’s striking a convo with dana which parallels back to the older chapter like:

i mean, yaaa obviously, she’s bleeding (he says so himself lol) so he’ll ask but i think it’s a nice progression that in their recent interaction, he can just tell from looking at her: it’s more of a mental strain than physical (and two panels before dana looks to be super stressed) so… osu concering himself over dana’s health is prolly a cordial thing, but for someone whose always sick, i’d like to think he’s extra concerned about dana’s health, which we all know she’s as healthy as healthy can be. 

ohhhh don’t get me started about that final panel… dana sheepishly rubbing her hand and i think it’s so cute that the one person that fazes her into not only blushing but really gets those sweatdrops going is osu lol? also i love in this flashback she’s squinty-smiling ???? i know when some people like genuinely smile, their eyes kinda squint together so…… this is how we know this is dana’s reaching point of happiness hahaha. 

nd i guess while i’m here, might have to address the rest of the flashback, which ill have to admit is kinda scheme-y on osu’s part? 

hmm i’ll have to say i think dana is aware (or at least suspects a bit) of osu’s ultimate goal here (to end baekmorae’s whole career ofc)? she accepts the invitation but not the money (which i honestly dont know what that means other than the fact to get an invitation, you have to be insanely wealthy nd spoon is a gov’t organization isnt it?) and then i think she finally accepts both (plus another invitation) cause osu apologized… and states the other invitation is for… raptor? im wondering if he came up with that on his own (tho he’s aware of no.2 history with baekmorae, did no.2 mention anything about baekmorae and raptor?) but it seemed like dana figured it out by talking with yeomho?

idk but i am soooo glad that osu didn’t go for what you commented earlier, like, it definitely looks like that dana sticks her foot down and tells him ‘hey thanks for all the help but you shouldn’t concern yourself about this’ but damn osu has to pull that apology and that extra invitation.... he has been planning that’s for sure. i like that this flashback does show more of osu that’s like... i don’t wanna say manipulative, but he knows what he’s tryna do and i think it’s glaring to dana even if she adores him so much... so anyway i have stupid b*tch disease nd can’t make of anything else but just have this panel of osu regarding dana with what im gonna say is worry, even if she says ‘don’t worry about it’ 

i pretty much agree with you’re saying, especially that osu thinks (nd prolly overthinks) that he’s not good enough but i wanna start off with dana!!

i mean, i don’t think dana would think about jealousy? like, it’s good enough to her that she already has a pretty close relationship with the person she likes (like she gets invited to his house & goes out for dinner 1-on-1) so for anyone else to get close to osu is just. irrelevant perhaps? i know what you mean by overprotective since i would think... since osu is extremelyyyy wealthy or at least a heir to some amount of money, he’d approached by people with wrong intentions so that’s when dana’s overprotectiveness kicks in? also i think in korean culture, there are like arranged marriage meetings and since osu’s dad thinks he knows what’s best for osu..... maybe jealousy is applicable to dana then? not that osu would ever want to attend those (out of courtesy to shut up his father nd he’d tell dana he’s only there to reject the other party) but i think the author would play for humor if that were to happen, dana just busting through the front door anyway nd she walks up like... don’t you dare fall for my angel nd the other party falls for dana on sight lmao. but yeah i think dana thinks the only connection osu has that matters is between him and her haha. 

and then for osu hmmm i mean it’s so unnerving right, like your wife is the kickass imposing chief of heroes and girls have confessed to her before so like it’s not like she doesn’t have other options... i do agree with you there that osu has self-image issues like he’s been sick and criticized his whole life and to finally meet someone who loves him for who he is... and dana at that? it’s unreal and it’s a dream and dreams aren’t real so reality has play some part where someone better waltz right in her path... i can totally see that, wow, and the funny thing is despite all these serious reasons, i think osu can come clean to her about his insecurities (i do feel like with all healthy couples, they especially can be honest to each other) and dana knows they’re unbelievable since in her head, it’s always been her one and only osu, but these are his genuine concerns so. they’d talk it through with a lot of thoughts considering, work it out, and yanno grow respectively in their relationship and as individuals. that’s true love b abe!
