Seungho asked his bodyguard to carry Nakyum to his mansion, but now it's him who carries him around because he wouldn't allow anyone else to touch him as he can't even bear the thought of another person's hands on his lover.
Back then, Nakyum yanked his hand away and pushed SH away in disgust, now he can't imagine a safer place to be as he clings onto Seungho with his hands as if he never wanted to let him go. SH forced NK to touch him, but now NK touches him willingly, so very needy and desperate.
Seungho and Nakyum have both come so far on their journey. Once upon a night, they met on a pyeong sang & SH put NK's hand into his lap.On another night & pyeong sang, it's NK's whole pliant & willing body that rests there as if he always belonged there,in the safety of SH's arms
When they first met, Seungho kidnapped Nakyum and brought him to his house. Now Nakyum begs SH to take him to that very place he wanted to escape,admitting it's his home,because the boy who had nowhere to go HAS FOUND HIS HOME WITH SEUNGHO. SH's become his home #PainteroftheNight
"It's like poetry. It rhymes."
Their 1st meeting in S1E1 The end of S2
Even in the middle of a panic attack, Nakyum still kicks and screams, instinctively protecting himself, despite his fear. He's always been so incredibly brave, facing the world that marginalized him all alone, standing up for himself with SH,... He's always been a fighter.
Even in the middle of his panic attack when Nakyum is utterly inconsolable and lost in his fear, the moment he realizes it's Seungho, he calls out his name and throws himself into his arms, firmly believing that Seungho would protect him, reminiscent of the time he was kidnapped.
Seungho shows his love for Nakyum, a lowborn boy, and how much he cares for him openly and unashamedly for the whole world to see. His sole focus is on Nakyum and how to help him, the rest of the world just fades away until it feels there are only the two of them.
Nakyum cuddles on Seungho's lap and clings to his lover tightly like a frightened little kitten, trembling and so lost in his fear and desperate to seek comfort. Somewhere along the way it's become Seungho who he's begun associating with safety and warmth. #PainteroftheNight
