#ryu jaehee

Jaehee: We should normalize not loving family members. Eden: You can just say: “I hate my dumb fuck parents” or whatever. Talk like a normal person!

Dobin: Okay, two person huddle. Jaehee: You can't huddle with two people. This is just a hug.

Eden: look Yehyeon, I'm not slut shaming you but… Eden: Actually yeah, I'm TOTALLY slut shaming you.

*During underground crew days* Eden: I have yet to encounter a problem where a punch didn't factor into the solution at least in some way.

Yehyeon: You know, sometimes dandelions remind me of Eden. Hajoon: Aww, is it because they’re like a little sunshine, spreading light and hope everywhere? Yehyeon: What? Gross, no, it’s because they’re like a weed that you can’t get rid of!

Eden *browsing SNS*: "Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves." Eden: … Eden: What a stupid fucking quote. Eden: I'm killing way more than two people.

Yoon Eden is my fav character and I SOOOOOO ship him with Hajoon (who doesn't?) but for me, the best relationship is between Eden and Ryujae. Both are assertive and are SO smbitious. Both are the maknaes of their respective groups, and have some kind of visceral need to be needed by REVE, and so conscious of what they lack and their inferiority complex. But man I love how Eden recognizes Ryujae's strengths and how he doesn't hesitate to rely on him and Ryujae seems to like being the active brain of Eden. And seeing Ryujae act like a baby duckling and trying to follow in Eden's steps (for better or for worse) 🥺 He's by far the most interesting character and I love me a manipulative (fictional) idol *cough* moondae/hoyoon/iwol (kinda) *cough* but I feel like I don't like being too much in their heads. That's why this novel is a real bowl of fresh air since Eden doesn't heavily rely on his past life's knowledge (and the reason he doesn't made me love him even more!!) and he's kinda... stupid (said lovingly). It makes him feel very much more human.
