Nakyum used to look at Inhun with a mix of blind infatuation and naivety, not knowing IH's dark side, but he has seen the worst of Seungho, he's seen him at his weakest and yet he still looks at him so tenderly and lovingly as if he were impossibly dear to him. This is real love.
Seungho's headband is a part of his armour, it's both his shield and his mask which he rarely takes off in front of others but now it's gone, so when Nakyum looks at him with those gentle, loving eyes he doesn't see the nobleman, but Yoon Seungho, the man.
Both Seungho and Nakyum don't wear their headbands and it's the first time NK sees SH without his. It means so much because those headbands separated them, denoting their social statuses as a noble and a commoner. When those labels fall away all that is left are two men in love.
I love how Byeonduck gradually changes her drawing style. It becomes more and more three-dimensional together with how she adds more layers and depths to her characters and story. In chapter 55, the shadowing and glow make it seem as if the characters were real.
If Seungho went through with letting the nobles rape Nakyum, he would have lost him forever. It would confirm Nakyum's worst suspicions of him and he could never love him.
Even in his sleep, Seungho seeks Nakyum and his warmth, reacts to his voice, leans into his touch because it's Nakyum who gives him comfort, because it's Nakyum who Seungho wants so much. #PainteroftheNight
Seungho is sharing his deepest thoughts and feelings with Nakyum and that means so freaking much because he never ever does that! BECAUSE HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE FEELS HE TELLS NAKYUM EVERYTHING HE FEELS! SH IS LITERALLY OPENING HIS HEART TO HIM HERE! #PainteroftheNight
The way Seungho has been living his life is his way of self-destructing himself in the slowest, most painful way possible. No wonder he has trouble to love others, when he can't even love himself. Nakyum is his cure and his hope, a ray of sunshine in the dark. #PainteroftheNight
