I am currently watching ep 10 of Why Why Love with
lainemma's subs and guuuuuuuuh...every time I think I can't love Huo Da more, he proves me wrong. I LOVE HIM SO. He is my drama boyfriend hands down, funny and sweet and totally caring and boyish and....
OMG OMG OMG. He sees her rush out of the house in a dase and even though when he stops her she snarks at him and rushes off he follows her not for stalkery or other reasons, but because she is distraught and he wants to see she is OK. And he gets on the same long distance all-night bus she does and he is hiding, watching her. And then
OMG
OMG
OMG
when she falls asleep and she is visibly cold (as it's cold on a bus) he quietly takes off his jacket and very very quietly covers her with it, even though he is freezing himself. And he draws a silly drawing in her notebook.
And she is continuing her argument with him even in her sleep and OMG, I died when he hears her grumble sleepily and he justlights up because 'she is dreaming of me.'
Oh, you darling. You darling.
But what is even more awesome, is that when the bus is about to get to her stop, he quietly takes his jacket away so she won't know he was there, and so she won't feel distracted or beholden, because for him it's not about scoring points with her, it's about making sure she is OK.
And he follows her around that small village (the look on his face when he sees her with her Mom, because even though this drama doesn't wallow in it, he did lose his own Mom when he was a kid and no one else in the family gives a damn about him). And then when her Mom misunderstands and assumes Jia Di whored herself out, and starts hitting her, that is when he actually reveals himself, because he can't stand to see her mistreated and he comes between them, and yells for her to stop and tells her that she must know Jia Di wouldn't (and OMG his unquestioning support of her is...).
And then he crumples on the ground because he is sick (you saw him shivering earlier) because he froze the whole night so she'd be warm.
I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.
And then they get him to their house and the Mom is all 'let's take him to the hospital' but Jia Di remembers how afraid he is of needles and pretends they shouldn't spend money and she'll take care of him. And OMG, he is having a horrible nightmare about the death of his Mom and she is all 'are you having a nightmare?' and is stroking his face and humming until he calms down OMG.
nd then she falls asleep still clutching him and he wakes up and is all 'huh, she can sleep in my presence, she is not afraid, must fix' (heeeee) but before he can kiss or similar, her Mom shows up so he pretends he is still asleep. LOL.
And I love his interactions with JD's Mom. He is just so...nice. He clearly is enjoying interacting with a Mom.
And then later Jia Di and he go walking and she tells him she doesn't like that he always sees her in misery and he says he doesn't either and then she tells him to stop following her around and he says he doesn't want to (!!!!) and then she almost falls off the pier and he catches her and spins her around and OMG OMG. And she tells him that she's always had bad luck and she is worried if he is with her, he will be tainted by it and get it too. And he says he doesn't know about that but no matter how low she'll get, he'll always catch her. OMG OMG.
And then later he is in the hospital with JD and her Mom visiting the dying friend of JD's Mom and Jia Di (who doesn't know about his parental trauma) begs him to pretend to be the dying, unconscious woman's kid in hopes it would bring the lady out of it. And you know it's killing him, but he can't refuse and so he does it but of course he is so projecting his own loss, and abandonment and missing of his dead mother, he ends up crying and sobbing and finally he breaks down utterly and runs out and she runs after him and she finds himsobbing on the stariway and he is so completely broken down, and she tells him he is OK, and he pulls her into super tight hug and is holding on to her for dear life and sobbing that his Mom abandoned him and he lost her, and she is crying a little too, and she is holding him back, and stroking his back non-stop and telling him she knows it hurts, and she won't leave him, and "don't be afriad, I'll stay with you, I am right here. Yes, I am right here."
I am dead.
And then they break their hug, and she reaches up to touch his face and they are just staring at each other...and then her damn cell rings. ARGH.
And then later, in his room, he pulls her to him and is all 'do you want to say something to me' and she almost does and he is so expectant but she can't and he is all disappointed. And then he drags her out, outside, and blurts out whether she would dare to be his gf. And there is KISSING!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is such a boy.
But then he screws it up because he says something that leads her to believe he is only picking her because YS is unavailable (though what he means is that everything is cleared with YS and nothing for her to worry about). They are such kids.
And there is bickering even next morning and he tells her he likes her and seriously, this is all so uncertain and stumbly and real. I love it much too much.
