How do Jin and Moonbyul connect?
They seem to blend together pretty well, but it’s almost in this passing kind of way. Their blended energy is still separated, but they are on equal grounds with the Knight of Cups and the Knight of Wands. Fire and Water mixing, so it’s like they’re on the same spectrum, moving back and forth, but they started on opposite ends. So, it almost feels like they venture in and out of each other’s space quite often, but they never really mix. In more basic terms, it’s like they could go to the same party and talk to each other, but they probably wouldn’t end up at the same table later on in the evening. Not by choice though, it just sort of works out that way.
On a conscious level, however, there’s a lot of acknowledgment and respect on both sides that comes off very ~!~quirky~!~ as he’s kind of seeing her as a “spitfire” and she’s seeing him as a “smart ass,” but like in the most positive ways possible. Again, they’re passing each other as the Knights. They’re not on the same team, but they’re in the same position internally, as in, they’re smarter than everyone else and almost no one but the other smarter people actually know that. It’s like when the Knights pass each other they’re just like, “oh, hahaha, I see your CUP!” and, “Oh yeah? Well, I see your WAND!” …which sound slightly inappropriate and totally ridiculous, but that’s what makes it quirky.
It just feels really nerdy and dorky, lol, but they get each other on that level like they just have that sense of each other.
Even more beyond that, there is an openness between them, especially on Jin’s side where he trusts her and doesn’t see her as a threat in spite of him seeing her as being just as smart, or even smarter than him.
