“... Avenge me.”
In tears, Yoon Seo Bin told Kim Ji Woong this after he finished sharing his deepest hurt right after the first time they consummated their relationship.
For so long they thought the idea of them freely expressing how they really feel was impossible, more so sharing a bed like this, without the cameras and the script.
Ji Woong has never felt like this– the way he wants to take away Seo Bin’s cross and carry it as his own, something he never imagined he is capable of feeling.
He looked at Seo Bin’s eyes and saw the deep misery he was in. It was at that moment when he realized he cannot bear to see him hurting any longer.
Ji Woong understands how much Produce X101 destroyed his precious, and how it still affects him after all these years although he tries to hide it from the public.
He was willing to do everything in his power to free Seo Bin from his lifelong burden.
The thought of participating in a survival show on his own had never crossed his mind, but for his love, he was ready to take anything on.
“Oh, I will, my love!,” he said with the overflowing rage that is now consuming his heart. Then, while letting his tears out quietly, he gently kissed Seo Bin’s forehead and hugged him tighter. “I will avenge and win it for you.”
