Heesung - Blog Posts

The next Big Arc I'm excited for the webtoon to adapt is Kaizenix arc for multiple reasons but one of them is that I'm VERY curious about what they will do about heesung.

because heesung have a romance arc in kaizenix right. I don't think I need to prove it's canon like a fujoshi talking about her favourite M/M ship, red yarn and cork board style - we're all on the same page here, this is a completely uncontraversial take on the token het couple in orv, right? kim dokja sees them in kaizenix and thinks "damn I'll have to allow interpersonal dating in kimcom now" I don't think anyone is arguing for a platonic explaination here (het ship advantages etc) HOWEVER.

Jung Heewon looked like a man at the time.

"She's mentally a woman so it's fine and not gay" is a much easier pill to swallow when it's words in a novel and her appearence isn't described, and the flashbacks appear as disconnected lines of dialogue so you don't really think of them as looking like Erich and Bilston and imagine them as Jung Heewon and Lee Hyunsung regardless of their actual appearence.

But the webtoon is a visual format and that won't fly. They physically can't be non-committal about this, they have to draw SOMETHING and I can't WAIT to see what it will be, because whatever they decide to do will be massively entertaining to me.

Do they say fuck it, heesung yaoi canon? I can't imagine they want on screen (apparent) gayness in their male power fantasy manhwa, but they might bet on the 'she's a woman on the inside' cognative dissonance 'it's anime bullshit, don't question it' logic will win over in most dudebro heads, as with it did in the novel.

Or they might decide that it WON'T fly with the dudebros actually and they shouldn't risk it and-this is where it gets really funny- try to make heesung less gay.

They could tweak their scenes to downplay the romance aspect (make them more humorus or cut some parts). They could keep Jung Heewon's face and hair the same as usual except she's in armor don't worry about what's under it ok. To 'keep her recognizable' even though they're not usually afraid to make the designs temporarily unrecognizable (KDJ's YJH cosplay moment for example), or some combination of both, which is what I'm betting on.

Just friends-ing their scenes...... changing her design to a woman's...... All of this would be, and I can't believe I'm saying this, gay censorship.

heesung about to be the first het couple to experience gay erasure. that's awesome I love orv

That's why I NEED all of us to have a countdown to heesungs schrödinger's yaoi event the same way some people had for joongdok demon king stabbing scene. the POTENTIAL IS THERE OPEN YOUR EYES PEOPLE!!!

Bad Dates

pairing ; bff to bf!heesung x reader

genre ; fluff

warnings ; nothing

summary ; most of the blind dates you've gone on have ended badly. thank god your best friend is always there to comfort you after days like these.

(pls the photos don't go well with each other I'm sorry)

And another bad date. One after the other, each date was getting worse and worse. Your only comfort right now was ice cream, sweets, snacks and hugs from your friend heesung. Thank god heesung existed. No, literally, he's your closest friend, the one who drives you to and from your progressively bad dates, the one who comforts you after them and honestly, the only boy you'd really love to go on a date with.

Suddenly, the sound of fingers snapping awoke you from your trance and brought you back to reality.

"You zoned out" heesung spoke. "Don't think about it, the date, I mean" he added.

"Oh thanks, that's actually a great idea! " you replied sarcastically.

How could you not think about it? Tonight's date was the last resort to finding someone that would make me forget about him and it was honestly, my biggest failure yet. Like, this dude really thought that him apologizing for spilling his wine on your favorite dress shirt would get him another date or would make you fall for him.

" The dude spilled wine on your shirt and you're still thinking of him?"

"It wasn't just a shirt, sung, it was MY favORITE dress shirt" he put a hand over his ear so as to protect it from my screams.

"Maybe you just have really bad taste in men" he said.

"You're not that bad though" you said quietly

"Did you just say what I think you said?" he stood up on the couch while he pointed his finger at you.

OH-OH *jazz music stops*

"Look- before you say anything- I really haven't gotten the chance to tell you yet but I really really like you, like I could write a ten page essay on how much I love you and why" you said, while heesung had a puzzled look on his face.

"ok but like, WHY DID YOU GO ON ALL THOSE DATES?!?"

"To be honest, I didn't want to tell you about my crush on you in fear of you rejecting me and ruining our friendship, so the dates were my last solution..."you said quietly, scared of his reaction.

You tried to study his face in order to figure out any emotions or reactions but he had a blank stare on, slowly turning to a soft one with a little smile.

"I would like to confess my feelings too then," he played with his fingers nervously trying to find the correct words to express himself, " I've liked you for close to a year now and I've never had the courage to tell you because you started going on those dates and I was scared of sounding jealous so I kept quiet"

After that you pulled him in for a hug, inhaling the scent of the expensive cologne he loved so much and he tightened his arms around you.

"So what are we now?"

After that, you stare up at him and reply,

"Oh I don't know, this looks like a friends to lovers trope from those books I read"

Next thing you know, you're both under the blankets cuddling while talking about how much you love and appreciate each other.
