Okay, here's my follow-up to this post because it was getting too long to be tagging onto someone else's reblog:
May 1st is one of my favourite filming days and roughly 70% of that is because they sang five Avril songs that day 😂
(CPN/etc at the bottom of the post)
I've teased GG before about being a fan of angsty teen girl music, but it turns out that DD led the charge on this hahaha
Chain of events:
GG says "arigatou!" in response to something on set, which makes DD start singing that Hello Kitty song
they both start singing I'm With You as seen in the original post's clip, but...
the clip cuts off before my favourite part, which is that GG starts talking about something while DD is just in the zone continuing with the next few lines until he realizes GG is talking to him and stops mid-sentence at "take me by the ha-" (hand) with a cute little squeak in his voice
They then immediately launch into My Happy Ending
Later while DD still has that song stuck in his head, GG sings out "I need you now..." from Innocence
Then they also sing/hum Skater Boi because of course they would. DD continues humming (not exactly but doing 'doo-doo-doos' to the tune) it while his makeup is getting touched up and GG is nearby chiming in from time to time.
Other "important" things to note:
There's something I find so funny about them getting into their little Avril songfest on the first non-April day of filming lol
This is the same day they filmed the scene where WWX and LXC are talking and LWJ shows up with Emperor's Smile, which includes one of my favourite bts moments: the XZ/WYB/LHK trio of idiots interaction that starts with "Hey bro, wanna go to die?" and ends with them laughing about how LHK looks 30. GG tells DD that he called LHK "ge" the first time he texted him and LHK was like "I think I'm younger than you?" and of course DD cackled at that because he is a well-established gremlin.
CPN/fake/fiction/ENTIRELY my own interpretation of things from the evening:
if there's any truth to the "300g" transcript, then this seems to be the night our two favourite dummies came to some kind of understanding.
The whole "why does LWJ want to make WWX happy?"/"because he likes him" interaction screams I'm-not-out-to-you-yet-and-am-trying-to-figure-out-if-you're-gonna-be-a-dick-about-it to me. It's just something that I think probably every queer person can relate to at some point in their lives.
Also, DD has that cute "bye bye 🙌" moment (while the other two continue filming the convo scene) and is away from set the next day, and when GGDD film together again on the 3rd it's noticeably flirtier. (May 3rd includes an "oops the camera caught me playing with the sword" moment, as well as DD repeatedly calling GG cute, and a return of the hello kitty song haha this time started by GG.)
So my personal interpretation/CPN is that sometime between the night of the 1st and the day of the 3rd, they came out to each other (most likely on that 1st night). Throughout mid-late April they were kinda shy/awkward and slowly getting comfortable with each other. They goofed around and obviously got along by May 1st, but I think that night scene outside with the emperors smile is the first time we see GG be flirty (he winks at DD to try to throw him off during a run-through, then laughs about it with LHK) and after that basically the flood gates opened for the rest of filming lol

Day 26: Favourite thing XZ said about WYB
I like that interview where he talks about how WYB has been through a lot in the industry already but that he still maintains his boy next door vibe.
Tumblr media
It takes place here around the 1:20 mark:
youtube
Fake/Fanfiction/CPN below:
I initially thought he smiled so shyly there because DD was standing just off camera, but now I'm not actually sure. There was a bts clip floating around a while ago that seems to be of the aftermath of this interview. A translation (text only) can be found here. Basically, GG is recounting what he said about DD and is like "did I say too much?" and DD gets upset and asks "why say that for no reason?" in a bit of a sulky tone because it sounds like empty praise for the sake of the interview. GG kinda snaps at him at first like "They asked me to! Why else would I do that?" DD does that little gesture that I've mentioned before where he taps a finger underneath his eye. (Totally speculation here but it seems to be a little signal that he's upset. I've seen him do it at least two times that immediately come to mind: this clip where he seems serious, and that time when he's playing up his injury when GG accidentally hit his cheek with chenqing during a fight scene and he's being a gremlin about it.) GG pauses when DD does that little signal and immediately GG's expression changes and he insists that he was sincere about the nice things he said. Then they have a sweet moment where they each tell the other that they're great... until DD turns back into a gremlin talking about what he's going to say about GG in his interview and GG is like "if you say that, you're dead" and they laugh a lot and then DD casually drops that "our hearts are in sync" line. (Note about the translation I linked above: I personally wouldn't say that there's a stern look at the end. GG just kinda turns away and does some neck stretches? Maybe they saw it from a different angle but he was smiling the last I saw him looking at DD so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ lol)
Anyway, the reason why I like that moment in GG's interview is because there are deeper layers to the words he's saying, which are sweet enough on their own. To me, it shows that they're already closer than just "work friends" at this point. He pauses after mentioning that DD was exposed to the industry earlier than he was, and I get a bit of a "how much can I say here" feel from it. He goes on to say even though DD is mature for his age, he hasn't lost that innocent/fun-loving/mischievous little boy vibe and ends it with saying that is a "very rare and precious thing."
I think sometimes, especially in context of their (possible probable) relationship, DD gets reduced to a caricature of "lovestruck puppy who turned his crush into a reality" but that's really only a fraction of who he is. Yeah he was 20 when he got cast in the show, but he went through a lot in his young life. He had a serious heart condition as a child, moved to a foreign country without his parents where he didn't speak the language (still as a child), trained to join a boy band (still a child), debuted in the entertainment industry (still a child) and then had all his hard work ripped out from under him when his group was disbanded for reasons beyond his control. He was young, but he had life experience that people twice his age might never have. Sure, we see him goofing around and smacking GG with his sword or sleeves and he seems on the surface to be a 21 year old acting like a teenager with his first crush, but there's so much more to it than that.
I think that's what GG is really saying here. DD is mature for his age because he was forced to grow up way too fast. The fact that he's still able to hold onto some of that boyish spirit is a "rare and precious thing" indeed. It says so much about DD as a person that he went through so much (and what I mentioned is just the widely-known parts of his past) and managed to come out the other side mature but not bitter. Fun-loving but not frivolous. He's worked incredibly hard for everything he's got. I think it shows that they've had a deeper conversation about their unconventional experiences in the industry, and that GG truly respects and admires DD for who he is.
(I could honestly go into a whole other huge post about why this interview is different than the other times he's talked about DD being his senior in the industry and why that bts clip I mentioned earlier is particularly relevant but this is already way too long as it is so maybe another day if people are interested in my meta lol)
