Why was the story making juhnyuk always protecting yeonwoo?

Genuinely I've been waiting for a scene for haesol to be his knight in shining armour, or is haesol not capable of that? I know there are scenes where haesol defends him but I feel like that's all there is. And it's always juhnyuk showing up. At some point it felt like juhnyuk and yeonwoo had more meaning

How/When was your role-reversal awakening?

As a kid, I was a tomboy. I shaved my hair and refused to wear dresses. (I've grown out of that now, though.) And Growing up, I was also genuinely repulsed by "mushy romance" and the idea of teenagers or even kids dating.

A few years later, I started watching romance out of curiosity. As it happened, one of the stories featured a soft guy, although the relationship dynamics were still pretty traditional. Surprisingly, I found it quite cute.

I was talking to a friend who asked me what my type was. This time, instead of answering with hatred, I actually stopped to think about it. I told her I liked guys who were shorter than me. Back then, I found some of my shorter male classmates particularly cute, especially because of their short-tempered personalities and how easily they got riled up.

My first experiences with GxB media were through the anime Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie and, more significantly, the manhwa Yeonwoo's Innocence. I was Hella excited,I kept looking forward to every new episode and chapter.

However, before I even knew the term role reversal, I noticed how much people around me, including people online, seemed to dislike this kind of dynamic. They treated it as something disgusting, weird, or even some kind of plague. Because of that, I never felt comfortable being open about my interest in it, aside from admitting that I liked shorter guys.

I also created my own RR OCs,(the ones in the pictures) whose stories and designs have evolved alongside me for the past six years. They've become a part of me, growing up with me through different stages of my life.

Yeonwoo's Innocence also had a profound influence on me. In a way, it felt like the story had grown alongside me, too. Sadly, the manhwa came to an end this year. I still remember constantly checking for new chapters and rereading the story over and over again because I was so desperate for more RR media.

After that, I kept searching for anything else in the world that could give me the same feeling Yeonwoo's Innocence did. Unfortunately, that's how I discovered the term femdom.

At the time, people online, particularly those from my own country, often grouped GxB and femdom together under the same label. I never really enjoyed femdom, though. I didn't understand that it was often sexual in nature, nor did I realize that a female character wasn't necessarily the one taking the lead in every story labeled that way. But I was so desperate for more content that I kept searching through femdom anyway, hoping that maybe, just maybe?? I'd stumble across something that was genuinely about role reversal.(Even though I didn't know what rr was.)

Now that I've found this community, I finally feel at ease. It's like I've found a place where I belong, where I know what to call the things I like and where to look for more of them. What surprised me most was discovering that this dynamic had an entire community of its own. For years, I'd been searching for something I couldn't quite put into words because I didn't even know what I was looking for.

I thought I was just looking for soft guys. Turns out, soft guys were only the bare minimum. I wasn't looking for a man who simply had a softer side; I was looking for a relationship that turned the entire dynamic on its head.

I'd kneel for men
