godddd i know. we had some crazy and silly and tender moments recently but i absolutely think this is in my personal top 3 for real (maybe cuz it’s kind of all of it combined lol). idk if it’s the camera quality or the angle but taerae looked sooooooo drained (my perception of time is a bit messed up but wasn’t he also dealing with his waist hurting at that time?) and matthew zooming over enthusiastically but completely switching from teasing to caring — in that very matthew-esque cheeky manner, the way he does it best — makes me feel soooo warm. THE WAY HE JUST HOPS AND CROUCHES DOWN TO MEET HIM FACE TO FACE IS SO. GOD. it’s also such a testament to the kind of person matthew is imo. 🥹🥹🥹 also it’s like nearly 3 am so fuck it we ball with this answer if i sound crazy so be it but once again i cannot help but wonder about all those little moments we never get to see. this definitely applies to them as a whole group/other duos as well tbh and i made a similar comment about the kcon behind when they were holding hands as taerae was ranting to him about being nervous… just like moments of quiet camaraderie in the practice room or in between schedules or in the quiet of the dorm when things are rough. they’re just sooo in tune with each other and a lot of it is unspoken or tucked away behind a teasing remark but i find it so blatant nonetheless. the perfect match and the perfect pair. To Me!
