something something like kdj's way to love is to take a bloodied knife from his loved one's hands, yoojin's way to love is to use himself as fuel to keep them warm. just like his early years fuelling the (hope for) yoohyun's future. in this essa- /dragged away by the guards/
YOU SEE the habit of disregarding his own self runs so deep yoojin can't help but take that course of action. and he wouldn't feel bad about it, but there's a cruel joke in it: he raised his little brother, who learned this cruel love language from him. who acts the way he did - the way he would...
Reminds me of the greek myth of a king whose lifeline was tied to a block of wood and if it all burned away he'd die, if that was yj he'd burn that wood to keep his loved ones warm for just a bit longer—
he would wouldn't he. jokes on him, the one who burned his life away was the guy he raised. something something the cycle of self sacrifice.... you throw your life away metaphorically and the reason for that throws his life away literally........ 😞
