I think harua is a perfect example of having a natural stoicism/external blank face to mask his true feelings. You can tell he chooses his words and controls his emotions on his face so well to avoid revealing what he truly feels until he's ready (case in point: when he revealed on that random jpn tv show that he purposely did not show any discomfort on his face when he was having a tough time asa trainee in kr because he knew it worried his mom). What makes me sus that he DOES treat/see maki differently from others can be seen during their Idol DKDK club ep last yr when his heart raced SO hard whenever maki was the focus lol. also, the way they speak so tenderly with each other during their tingle ep is where you can truly see how close they are.
okay you’re cooking… i agree, harua doesn’t easily express his emotions so im sure having to express it to a room full of people is very daunting (like honestly, i think i would be the same way in that situation). also YES the dkdk situation… i have written about this before bc it’s so telling… i think that whole thing was probably terrifying for harua because you can put a mask on your face but you truly can’t do anything to control your heartbeat… and that totally gives you away. i like to think i understand harua to some degree, but i honestly don’t think we will ever truly get the full cavern of his thoughts because that’s how he prefers it. i have a strong feeling he’s more open about his feelings with the members, but that’s not something we’re privy to fully and only get glimpses of and i think we should just accept that to an extent
