the REAL reason though is bc he wants to flame the rumors that sj is being courted. like hell YEAH sj allowed someone to court him, SUCK IT. EXPERIENCE THAT FOMO HES MINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

anyway tlj excuses it by saying the red really does compliment sj, and the robes hes wearing rn (tlj bought those!!!! everybody look at them!!!!) have red accents on it, which brings out the green in sj’s eyes!! (hes talking out of his ass, but he genuinely believed this)

plus the guan stick and the ribbon tied to it in his hair WAS his, how was sj supposed to know the guan itself wasnt?

they slept together and sj, who is NAWTTT a morning person, let tlj—THE most morning person to have ever personed—get him dressed and ready for the morning. ofc he didnt notice the switchup, the guans even weighed the same!!!!!!! he swears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
