i feel like yj is always a little bit ahead in that relationship emotionally, mostly bc bg is floating in his introverted bubble, learning to open up etc. but i also think their relationship is really solid bc they didn't get together until enough growth happened on bg's end. soooo i envision them continuing on a similar wave.

yj graduates. bg freaks out a little bit. yj doesn't freak out at all bc from his perspective of course they're going to be fine, they'll adjust. they have a sweet summer that is mostly long distance (bg goes home to daegu for the break) and on bg's end mostly him wondering if they'll really be okay. come autumn yj is working full time in the city and he does his usual: he comes to visit bg on campus, invites him to his apartment, he continues on with his soft eyes and smile and of course they end up fine. essentially, i think if their story had a chapter 2, it would be about bg learning to grow into his adult self while their relationship changes and grows naturally with life.

if they had a chapter 3, it would be about bg choosing to move to seoul once he graduates. he'll make the decision himself and quite quickly, which will surprise yj (who will be trying to give him space and not pressure him by asking about it). it would be an echo of in the cold, i'm afraid where bg is the first to kiss him. he'll make the decision to move to seoul to be with him and act on it first. i think he'll make the decision so quickly, and get on that train from daegu to seoul so fast, that yj will barely have any time to tell him not to sign a lease on any apartments and to move in with him.

☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 hope that's satisfying! in my head they stay together drama free and it's more about personal growth. thank you for the love! 🤍🤍
