Oh my GOD I’m obsessed w this choice!! Firstly thank you for sending it to me. Now for the DVD commentary:

When I was writing ABW, all I could think about was internal pressure and how it can lead to shifts within us? But also how sometimes life asks you to wait for certain results. And the problem with that is that when you leave someone alone like that, odds are they won’t just wait around without changing likely due to internal pressures haha. OR anyway that became the basis of Tae’s character. And what was interesting to write was JK being his foil because he’s been waiting in his own way, but really he’s determining the flow of things. It’s his discharge that enables them to finally reconnect. We’re working on HIS timeline, and he’s really happy about that haha. Tae also knows that but it’s a struggle for him when he feels all this pressure to finally just be himself, but he STILL has to wait for Jk. SO ALL THIS TO SAY when I got this part, it was the tipping point, the moment things change because JK finally realizes things might not be as easy as he expects. Tae’s not answering. Is he not home? Where is he? (Something he knows he would’ve known if he’d stayed with him, and not Jimin, after all). As for what’s going on in that moment in time: Jk is probably a panicked mess at Jimin’s place, wide awake and trying to stay calm while Jimin sleeps. Gets up and rushes off to Tae’s, meanwhile Tae’s living it UP at the club with Hurricane Hoseok, only for his own reality to crash into him when he gets home and he sees the love of his life utterly distraught and looking at him like he thinks he’s done something else to betray him.
