Small talk: Lord Min edition

After the mention of this mysterious Lord Song (obviously a person important enough for Seungho to haul himself out of sickbed), SH's thoughts stray to Nakyum—subconsciously seeking comfort to cushion the pain this fragment of his past may dredge up in him. #PainteroftheNight

For someone as scarred deeply as Seungho, it would take more than just the fleeting giddiness of infatuation or budding love to make him heal. But maybe, just maybe, Nakyum loving him back would be the first step towards it. #PainteroftheNight

The next time you hear someone says Nakyum is useless, ask them if kindness that can withstand anything is so useless that all they can see is a plot device or an object representing a romanticized taboo. Ask them if hope in such a dark story is useless.

Nakyum still has a lot of growing to do, ofc. He's still living in the shadows of Inhun's words, & can't believe himself to be worthy of real love after that. Who do you think can help him believe otherwise? Seungho. Yet no one reduces SH to that role alone. #PainteroftheNight

It's true that he plays a vital role in Seungho's character development, but he doesn't exist merely for that purpose. He's his own character, too.

Just because his growth isn't as starkly visible as Seungho's doesn't mean it's not there. #PainteroftheNight

The closest thing to his spirit breaking happened when he's called a whore by the very person he admired—the person who's supposed to take care of him outside the kisaeng house. But even after that, he's still proven himself to be strong (hello, season 2!) +

But there are big things, too: not ratting out Seungho to Inhun even if he cherished the latter and *hated* the former, & defending Deokjae even if the guy was literally going to break his fingers moments earlier. If YOU'RE in his shoes, would you be as kind? + #PainteroftheNight
