ah no i completely get your point, like, just the dynamic of “a reader and their character” is something that’s so special to see… frankly i do love a good bl but i also do prefer the friendship they have much more. and as a reader i completely understand the protective sort of love kim dojka must feel for yoo jonghyuk. i think, had it been a bl, it would’ve diminished that feeling.
Honestly, I don't think they are merely friends. They are more like family way? I dunno. It's open ended so everyone is free to interpret in their way. I just don't like seeing some readers saying that it is disappointing because it is not BL. I shipped them too but I appreciate their relationship and sees it as pure. By the way have you read the novel? Seeing that your profile is Hua Cheng....trust me you would love it.
i’m currently 300 chapters into the novel and still don’t know if this is gonna end up being a bl or not… now when i started this i definitely thought if anything it was going to be het, half expecting a harem trope tbh, but FR the more i read the gayer it gets and demon like judge of fire is NOT HELPING the situation (she’s literally me though)
