@JustLoveBL Awww. I feel you! It's so nice to find someone who thinks about LS the same way I do. What I really love about DY is that even though he looks so much like an alpha and doesn't physically resemble his mom, when he is sweet and soft with Taehan, he is exactly like his mum.
Losing Seungho’s touch and attention might put things into perspective for Nakyum and help him realize that he misses his lover, and not only having sex with him but everything about him.
The reason why SH isn't seeking other men is because the last time he did, it sucked. He was bored, unsatisfied, always thinking about NK and spending a sleepless night full of frustration. He's already learned that lesson: that without NK, it's feels pointless.
DJ is an unrelable narrator who holds a grudge against Seungho and Nakyum. He is blinded by his hatred for both of them. Furthermore, he is a servant with a limited access to the inner chambers so his observations are taken from afar and thus, very flawed.
They way Nakyum's gaze always wanders towards SH, he can't help himself but be pulled to him, because Seungho is what he really wants. These moments when NK genuinely misses SH, watching him from afar, longing for him show what Nakyum's been hiding in his heart: his love for SH.
OK, you win, I ship this now. I mean the potential this has is unreal. Welcome, my secondary #PainterOfTheNight OTP!
Because in the servant’s POV, here is a lowborn boy who is considered by the society even more lowly than himself but is treated better than noble wives. Nakyum has been elevated to a high position but he is left kneeling by his feet, collecting trash from the floor.
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
