His Right Hand Man - Lee Yut Lung and Sing Soo Ling

ooo finally banana fish content! oh yeah B) anyway, this is 'what made them fall in love with u' hc's.

it was probably the way u look when u laugh. that smile, so perfect and genuine, was unlike anything else he'd ever seen. it's a warm, soft smile, one that brightens the day of everyone in the area.

Think about it: Dino was raising Ash to be his heir he had him take on leadership roles and “allowed” him to run his own gang etc etc. In a sick twisted way Ash was valuable, an asset. Praised and admired, being polished to someday live upto whatever standard of greatness he was held to (never mind that no one ever asked him what he wanted for himself)

Yue was no one. He had nothing and his position in the Lee family was precarious. It was clear that he was just barely surviving by keeping himself useful in any way he could.

The elaborate Sun/Moon metaphor is entirely a part of his (unrequited) rival fantasy with Ash. It’s a trauma response - he hasn’t processed anything that has happened to him. He’s spent so much of his life fighting to survive against an external threat that when there no longer is a threat he feels lost and empty. 

We see a glimpse of a similar instinct in Ash. When they were hiding out Ash mentioned feeling like he can never relax, and how his head is always going through the worst case scenarios. This is dialed up to the max for Yue, who feels like he needs someone to hate at all times and work towards destroying because otherwise what is his purpose? His raison d’etre? What else is he supposed to do, sit back and relax?

Eiji: Why?

Ash: I haven't died yet.

Eiji: That's... not how that works.

ash: uses intelligent language, and difficult vocab words when speaking
