ahhhhh great question. You’re totally right, it’s hard not to mention their unit mvs (to be honest it’s still a complete mystery to me HOW this isn’t the most popular ship when they’re literally shooting PORN, what else fucking call it??)
But I guess it all started with me falling insanely hard for Chan (we’re married btw), I see a lot of messy, complex traits in him (many of which mirror my own, we’re truly two peas in a pod). I’m not a huge fan of fluff or the healthy relationship trope, I love when couple has a complex power dynamic. I’m not into the whole 'big bad alpha/soft fragile omega' kinda stuff, and I feel like Hyunjin has enough energy to stand his ground against Chan's intensity, to compete with him in a way. And listen, they are just ideal for all the problematic toxic abusive shit that I love so much, sooooo
