honestly i still haven’t fully decided how i feel yet to get in the soup about it in this way but….i feel like ultimately there is some relief probably in knowing there’s a bit of security there. things are changing still but not as much as they could be?

but i don’t really know because i don’t know what they thought was going to happen. obviously they’ve known the final outcome longer than we have, but who knows how long (or not long) certain plans have been in place. were they surprised by anything? was this a long time coming? i’m sure they’ve been talking about it the whole time. but i think their reactions are kind of dependent on what they expected to happen in the first place. i also think they’ve both changed so much since boys planet and since their respective debuts. i’m sure they would have been happy to debut together still but i don’t know that it was like a priority or goal in any way. they’re more used to being idols without each other than with.

so i think idk probably some level of happiness and relief, maybe bittersweetness in there too. i don’t know what they thought the “after” would look like so it’s hard to really think about what their reactions to the reality would be. but the last times we heard about them hanging out it was like a couple times right back to back so i bet they were talking about it a lot then.
