Thank you for this beautiful insight of someone who was actually there. (Is it too much to ask what your boyfriend or friend thought about the moment? Like did you ask them what they thought about the interaction, did they pick up the same feeling? It would be interesting to know what someone who probably (?) doesn't ship them thought of it. )
Also I can only speak for myself but the main reason I don't post here as often as I used to is bc for me CB and I reached a point in shipping that has only two outcomes: they are either best friends or boyfriends. There is no fanservice or fake friendship, it's either one or the other. For me everything has been analyzed to a tee, everything we get now is everything that we already know. We know how they act around each other, how they react to each other, how they will react to certain things. I'm not saying nothing surprises me anymore bc that "I love you" game during the nature republic event was pretty intense and something I would have never thought they would actually do in public (my theory about it is that they reached a point in their relationship where especially Baekhyun is fed up with the fact that they keep it low on stage and in front of cameras, I feel like he is frustrated at this point and went all out that day bc he could blame his behavior on the game) but for the majority of the time I see a new moment I'm like "we been knew" bc yes, we know almost everything about their relationship and their behavior at this point in time (at least everything they allow us to see), the only question we don't have an answer to is "are they best friends or are they boyfriends". At least that's how I feel about CB in 2018 and that's the reason why I don't analyze their interactions anymore like I used to bc it would be something that was already said in this thread more than once. Now I'm just enjoying their little and big moments in awe and smile at the thought of them having found someone that makes them THIS happy bc it's rare finding this kind of connection with another human.
That's not me telling you to stop analyzing in here btw, please do so! I just wanted to share my feeling towards CB and their relationship and the reason why I don't post in here bc I feel guilty not posting in here for so long , maybe somebody feels the same way, know that you are not alone feeling like this!
