Yoon Seungho's Loverさんのイラストまとめ

If the audience read PotN superficially,they'll only see one dimension of the story and then denounce it completely,just like the servant who only sees the surface of the painting but not its beauty and feelings behind it,much less the growing love between the two men in the room

There is no ulterior sexual motive in the way SH touches NK. his one image showing them making love and their real selves completely lost in a world of their own perfectly illustrates all the dichotomy, nuance, emotions and complex issues that lie just below the surface.

My headcanon of this AU moment: Seungho is clenching his fists because he is letting Nakyum go to protect him; however, in the end, he still can't help himself but to reach out a hand to stop him from leaving 😢😭

This is basically the "if you love him, let him go" scenario. https://t.co/m8u6lyvsel

“Despite myself” = he’s conflicted and confused by what he feels, his heart and body pull him toward Seungho but his mind is protesting.

“I think about you coming inside me” = he wants to be claimed by Seungho, he wants to feel more of his warmth.

“My heart starts racing” = I used to be surprised why Nakyum was so confused and shocked by his racing heart, until I realized it’s because he never experienced it before – INHUN HAS NEVER MADE HIS HEART RACE, ONLY SEUNGHO HAS MANAGED TO DO THAT.

BAEK NAKYUM HAS JUST CONFESSED HIS LOVE FOR YOON SEUNGHO! THIS IS A FREAKING LOVE CONFESSION, this is Nakyum being honest about his feelings

#PainterOfTheNight
And this is why: a thread +

The most heartbreaking thing is that Nakyum has been in love with a lie for so long that now, when he has the real thing, when Seungho genuinely adores him and gives him real warmth he can't see it. #PainterOfTheNight

Being a manhwa, #PainterOfTheNight lacks the acoustic mode therefore the reader has no way of finding out the tone,intonation or timbre of the character’s voice unless they see his facial expression. However,Byeonduck deliberately doesn’t show it to us at very particular moments.
