F4 Thailand (2022)

Thyme has been so heartbreakingly starved for love and touch that even though he feels sick, the moment Gorya literally wrestle him down onto her lap and nurses him, he looks like it’s both the most blissful and surreal moment in his life. It might even be the closest he has come to ever being cuddled or caressed by anyone, except for Dango, with his mother cold as ice and his sister more prone to kicking him, pinching him and ruffling his hair than actually being gentle (probably the reason why he keeps the cat - to have at least some sort of substitute for human touch). And they definitely didn’t nurse him when he used to be sick, it must have been the servants. It makes you realise how utterly impersonal his entire life has been. 

He doesn’t protest even when Gorya manhandles him, instead, Thyme literally basks in it, savouring every single moment and fleeting touch. The lightning gives the scene a dreamlike quality, like Thyme is lost in a feverish fantasy. I never can get enough of the way he looks at Gorya - with that combination of utter disbelief, wonder and adoration which keeps getting more intense each time he gets to be around her.

Thyme craves to learn all about Gorya, to figure out the puzzle that she is to him and get closer to her, because he has really been living in an entirely different world than her, which he is perceptive enough to realise, be it the financial situation but, most importantly, her family - it both baffles him and hurts him to hear how they spend time with her, communicate with her and worry about her. 

And when Gorya finally asks about his own, Thyme finally turns around away from her and curls up in a fetal position, hugging himself protectively and closing his eyes as if he wanted to put a shield between himself and the memories - he’s basically bracing himself in order to talk about something deeply painful and unpleasant. He might have looked like a wet puppy in the rain, but now he looks like an abandoned puppy (who is on verge of being adopted).

Symbolically, Gorya and Thyme bond over family and familial affection - the only area of life where their roles are reversed, where he is the pauper, lacking so much of it, and she the queen, having an abundance of everything.  

Out of all things his mother (and to certain extent, even his sister) has done to him, what has hurt Thyme the most is the indifference and abandonment. Even if he set the whole school on fire and burned it down, she would most likely only raise her perfectly shaped brow at most. He imprints himself on Gorya for the very reason she is anything but indifferent to him. Even now, when she asks Thyme about him and his family, he doesn’t shy away from the topic or her because it’s the most genuine attention and interest in him anyone has shown Thyme, except for his friends. The most tragic part of it is that for Gorya it’s a second nature, something she would ask anyone, and nothing special but for Thyme it’s incredible precious because someone finally openly cares about him and it’s the most caring he’s had in a lifetime.

The happiness it brings to Thyme just to listen about Gorya and her life. He can literally buy anything in the world but learning about Gorya and, by extension, being a part of her life that way makes him smile, chasing away that frown brought upon by the talk about his family. Even the lights symbolically turn from cold blue shade they were when he talked about his family to warm pink.

This has to be loveliest and awesomest compliment and endearment ever! Thyme doesn’t call Gorya beautiful, even though he totally thinks she is, but basically admits to her that to him she is INVINCIBLE, scoffing at the mere suggestion anyone could ever defeat her or measure up to her. To him, she is the most fearsome and badass person he’s ever met and he whispers it with unadulterated reverence and brutal honesty. It’s the biggest compliment he can offer to anyone. Like he put her on a pedestal, worshipping the land Gorya walks upon. He offers her respect and admiration for the fight she put up against him and it touches Gorya deeply before she hides it with a joke. Is there any wonder she eventually falls for Thyme so hard that she chooses him over Ren despite all the obstacles and pain his mother and people put between them to keep them apart?

A million times THIS!!
