their visual chemistry is what caught my attention first— i know it's superficial, but i can't lie and say it didn't play a role in how i tripped into this ynbn rabbit hole, and how they look together is still part of what makes me feral about them. Then there's how they look at each other. They're definitely fond of one another (platonic or romantic, whichever it is, the love is there) but then there's also the fact that they're in this unique situation where, for different reasons, they both have/feel a responsibility towards the younger members— ynj as the oldest and sbn as the leader, so there is this mutual understanding and i think it shows in their eyes, and perhaps for that same reason they rely on each other a little more (even tho we lmao that ynj didn't want to burden sbn with his struggles and how that lead to the "divorce" era). Anyhow, I also think that ships choose you and not the other way around so if your friend doesn't get it then they don't get it and that's okay! I think I saw a TikTok once about someone analyzing what liking one txt ship over another said about you but I don't remember any of its contents XD

Thank you for the ask lovely anon I hope my answer wasn't disappointing <3
