I thought I would have so much to say about the car accident scene. And while I could go on for a while on why it's everything I've ever wanted from a scene of this nature and why it's a beautifully acted cinematic piece, I do think the beauty of the scene lies so much in silence. Their expressions are do a fantastic job to express their emotional state so I'm just gonna call attention to a few things I won't get over anytime soon.
Imagine being Haein and seeing your husband wrecking a car window in hysteria. Imagine seeing disbelief on his face when he sees you and walks towards you. Imagine watching him unable to breathe properly (sound on and high for this scene). Imagine seeing life flood into him as soon as you touch him.
Jiwon plays such an important part here. Because Haein has NEVER seen Hyunwoo like this. He's a pretty calm nice, non-violent guy. She knows him to like mostly everyone and he rarely gets angry - he's pretty composed. But then what is this look of complete shattered pain on his face? With a mix of disbelief, bearing the heaviest heart on the planet? He's unrecognisable to her. She can't make sense of any of his actions. She's in utter shock hearing how hardly any air is making it's way into his lungs.
In his eyes is a look of crazed wilderness just tamed. He's out of his sense. Completely lost in the events that have just passed. Not believing that he can breathe. That it's okay. All is well in the world for now. She's unscathed.
'What's going on? Calm down.'
The way she asks him to calm down - touching his face - cause she just doesn't know what in the world could send him in such a frenzy to forget himself. Her asking him to calm down here is everything to me. She's really just saying I'm here okay. Calm down. Calm down, you can breathe. Tell me what happened and I can fix it.
'Even still, Are you crazy? How could you break the window with your bare hands? Look at this!'
I know it probably didn't register to him at that point. But he's hearing her being worried for him again when he thought her lost forever. Wouldn't that sound like music to his ears.
And her...god she's so worried for him. She's never seen him like this. She doesn't know what happened to make him like this. One she sees his absolutely broken bloody hand. Two she's seeing her husband absolutely crushed. She's so confused.
That is until his words hit her like a truck. I think she had an idea that he did it to save her but she didn't know he did it because he thought her dead. And that makes all the difference for her.
Also I thought it was very interesting to keep showing his injured hand clenching. I think it was a way to show how the physical pain still didn't hold a candle to his emotional turmoil. He CLENCHES that broken hand multiple times. I can't even begin to think when he actively registered the pain.
The need for constant touch to reaffirm that she indeed is there. The sitting down. The head on her hand. The heavy breathing. *Chef's kiss*
I love women comforting the man they love when he's broken. Gah! That hand on his face and hug. Her embracing him. Letting him cry all he wants. Giving him the reaffirmation he needs by placing her self as close to him as possible. Trying to tame and override his sense. The hand on the nape of his neck. The hand caressing his hair lovingly. And good god, the RINGS.
Also notice his breathing on her shoulder. He's trying to calm himself. Telling himself she's here. Hearing her say it's alright. Everything will be alright.
I'm sure they stay like this until the ambulance comes and asks them if they're hurt. Only then Haein must've gently tore him apart from her (hand on his face again ofcourse) and convinced/guided him to finally get treatment. I can just Imagine Hyunwoo completely dishevelled going, 'Huh *sniffs*......oh.......Right, my hand' and that's when the pain hits him.
Special mention to the hospital conversation when Haein asks him 'Will you sob like this if I die?' and he says truthfully, bashfully, embarrassed but without missing a beat 'Ofcourse.' He's hiding behind nothing. He truly meant to give up on himself after her.
For me this is also the night Haein starts to write her diary. Hyunwoo must've been sound asleep, amped up on painkillers and she must've had so much time to sit and admire him and write.

230522 dear u.
i’m not trying to earn money by making use of eries.. when selling the americano, i also told them to sell it like previous goods, not at absurd prices, but to put it up at reasonable prices. the socks group order too.. it just happened to come up in the conversation. i thought “oh it’ll be great if eries can also the socks that I like at a cheap price!” to be honest, i’m ready to receive negative feedback. but that doesn’t matter, as long as i’m able to get it cheap for everyone. also, i’m not getting a single cent from the socks retailer, i said to make the price as low as possible.
i just enjoy having fun with eris. that’s the happiest moment and times where i laugh with all my heart. i hope people don’t misinterpret that.. i apologize if i came across too much like a salesman, but my thought is that, if you can’t always see me at concerts or offline events, is there anything i can do as i wish to repay you in a different way. because i don’t want you to feel my absence, as i know how difficult it is to wait. (tr)
a long explanation like this?.. i was wondering if i should it..i didn’t want to but i hate it even more if eries get hurt.
and about the quality of teolaegi… being low… either way i think it’s a success… teolaegi who is all alone in a box…looking silly…
make sure to wear your mask when you go out today!! have a happy day today too❤️

Spotify game: 43?
"Keeping Love Again" by Shinee ^_^
Favorite lyrics ... can I say the whole song? They sing it so beautifully T_T
Okay okay I choose these lines:
If I pray for it, this throbbing in my heart
Until it's etched into my life, until my voice runs out
One, two, it becomes hope
Becoming two people when it was one
Love will be forever
(They let Taemin, Jonghyun, Key, and Onew sing individually for this verse and it's hits harder because their voices are so so emotive and beautiful individually 💔)
