hi dizzy!, thank you so much for writing that special story for joo’s birthday. what was the title again? a wolf who cried boy? oh right, a boy who cried wolf hehe. i really love it because the whole time i was reading, i felt like i was seeing myself in joo. i’m full of energy and a little strange too, and since we even share the same mbti, it feels like his character mirrors my own.
like joo, i struggle a lot in crowds, and i actually have panic attacks sometimes. so when i read your story, the way you described things gave me such a vivid picture in my head—it felt real. and you’re right, we really do need someone like ji in our lives. when panic attacks happen, the person you hold onto is exactly someone like him.
even in real life, whenever i watch their content, i notice how ji pays special attention to joo. when other members laugh at or tease him, ji is always the last person to join in—or sometimes doesn’t join at all. to me, that shows how deeply he cares. like, you can’t hide that kind of thing; it’s obvious. maybe joo was the one who fell first, but ji definitely fell harder.
i still laugh so hard remembering that moment when ji wasn’t around, and joo said his hands were shaking. then gun-il replied, “but ji is in your heart.” that was so funny, but also so telling at the same time. they’re like a package deal—you can’t really separate them without something feeling off 🥹
thankyou dizzy, i always love ur meal 💗
helloo!! hehe, it's something like that!! joo's the wolf and jiseok's the boy~ whatever that means~ I'm really glad you enjoyed it though!! 🥹 I had a lot of fun writing a hurt/comfort (sort of) 5+1 centred around jooyeon for once, since I've done multiple 5+1s revolving around jiseok... I see different shades of myself in each of them, so its been fun to draw on those different aspects recently
funnily enough, joo's panic attack was based on an experience of my own where my friends and I got caught in very tight crowd in japan last year, and as soon as we got out of it I started feeling weird and in the back of my head I was kinda like "what if I had a panic attack or something right now wouldn't that be crazy" and then I started hyperventilating 😄 one of my most immediate thoughts afterwards was "I <i>will</i> find some way to include this in a fic someday"... and thus 🫴
anon you get me so bad... it's so interesting because jiseok definitely teases joo plenty (and joo teases him) but it's always sort of... on his own terms?? like you say, he doesn't really join in when the others are doing it. I even remember once it was sort of a running joke that jooyeon didn't wash his hair often, so I think during hyeongjun's 2023(?) birthday live he said something about having washed his hair and jungsu reacted with shock and jiseok was more offended on joo's behalf than joo was 😭 only he's allowed to make fun of him like that I guess
"gaon not being here makes my hands shake" UGH that moment lives rent free in my head 😀 it's also the way the others looked so sympathetic for joo, like they Know that's his emotional support twink. package deal is absolutely right, separating them is illegal in 52 countries actually... I remember one time they went on dekira and joo wasn't there and jiseok at one point looked at the camera and went "😠 lee jooyeon!! are you watching??" like... 🫠 okay man we get it
anyway, thank YOU for the lovely ask!! 💕 sorry for rambling a bit lol, I've been putting out fires in my personal life over the past few days so I haven't been yapping about jooseok and it just feels good to be back on my bullshit 🤗
