godd i wish i could leave kudos for every new chapter of sunrise
He would rather self-destruct and stay in that comfort than actually live, because living is scary. New things are scary. Maybe that’s why he was kind of distant with Jungkook at first, because Jungkook with his tattoos and bike was something new, something outside of Taehyung’s routine, and that was terrifying to him.
And man, I really do relate to Taehyung like this.
I think with Jungkook, yes, he was new but he also unfurled emotions in Taehyung that he previously did not have time or energy for. He’s been on survival mode. He also just /wanted/ jungkook and that feeling unnerved him, annoyed him (because he shouldn’t want/need anyone but himself), and also scared him (change again haha). So, yes, he did want distance because he was like “I can’t entertain these feelings because this guy is going to uproot my entire life.” Jungkook does make taehyung /feel/ more alive, like an actual person with strong emotions, which is something taehyung desperately wants. There’s like two warring emotions inside him: the comfort of his current complacency in suffering, and desire to break free from said suffering.
It means a lot that you can relate to Taehyung and hopefully find comfort in that 🥺!!
I relate to Sunrise Taehyung a lot, and I might be totally wrong in perceiving him this way, but this is how I see him. someone who is so comfortable in his suffering and sadness, someone who keeps holding on to broken things because that’s all he knows. That pain is comfort to him because it’s all he has ever known.
Well you hit the nail on the head! Since I touched on sunrise Taehyung’s suffering in the previous ask, I’ll just add that he holds onto things that only lead to more pain because those things call back to a life that no longer exists. It’s nostalgia, but also comfort. And also, as someone who does not have a lot of money, a fear of being left with nothing.
"And I might be selfish. But you’re too self-sacrificing and obsessed with suffering and that’s a kind of selfishness, too." I had to drop my phone and stare at the wall for a good five minutes.
Yeah I think sometimes people who feel sorry for themselves but are not willing to do anything to change their situation do come from a self-serving, selfish place where there is a part of them that /likes/ feeling like a victim. I don’t necessarily think that’s what’s happening with Taehyung because he wouldn’t see himself as a victim, but there is a large part of him that 1. Does not like change (all the change he’s experienced has come from bad things) and 2. Wants control (so he can stop bad things from happening). That combo does result in some self-centered behavior and thinking but also leads to his own suffering and self-pity. He doesn’t accept help and he doesn’t want anything about the shop to change, even though he needs help and the shop (and him) isn’t performing well. Jungkook is kind of calling him out on that behavior. For Jungkook, there is no honor in suffering.
sunrise jungkook is so easy to imagine, and he feels so canon like i know he’s fictional but it’s so easy to picture him and his behavior in a way that he reminds me of real life jungkook. He’s absolutely effortlessly cute but also so cool at the same time. He’s just so Jungkook. I love Sunrise Jungkook, he’s my sweetheart.
honestly, i think having a deep conversation about Sunrise taekook with someone over coffee would fix my life.
WELL IN THAT CASE THERE WOULD BE TOO MANY MEMES TO EXPRESS HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW JUSTFHNWNRBVNWVRN CAN'T WAIT !!!! CRYING SHAKING AND THROWING UP i need to reread it so i can be fully prepared for the new chapter then
