ONCE DYSTHMIA HAS FINISHED, THERE WILL BE A MORE THOROUGH ANALYSIS
ANALYSIS
...
Based on the story of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
this passage largely reflects the idea of beauty and the beast.
nct reflects the many cutlery, plates, bowls etc... (idk why they're just so cute)
hyejin reflects belle
chenle reflects the beast, as most stories go.
because alexithymias plot is pretty predictable, it's cliché so i won't go into it as much
hyejin was able to show the bravery Belle had during the plot, forcing herself into the 'Devils House' and willingly stepping into an unpredictable danger
as the quote in beauty and the beats goes "I want more than this provincial life" describes hyejin's life accurately; work, marry, have kids, die.
maybe hyejin never came for the money
maybe she came for something that wasn't the "provincial life"
...
BREAKING DOWN DETAILS + reexplaining
The code installed on hyejin's phone was: 2S1RA53
(this was written on my notice board)

there was a time and date written on the back of inho's graduation photo
19/08/09 1:06PM
1. from the time 1:06, take the 1 and add it to 19 in 19/08/09. this will give you 20 2. then focus on the 9 of 19/08/09 as well as the 06 of the 1:06 3. put the results of step 1, 2 and 3 together and ultimately, you get 209806
i never really revealed this but the graduation was not actually a graduation photo. the photo consists of inho and a lot of people in black in the background. the people in the background was the members of starship.
it was disguised as a graduation photo to "fool" the innocent, and also hint at their password if any starship members had forgotten
-
there was a clock situated in starship base with the hands pointed at 3:02
1. then it into 24 hours time, in which you will get 15:02 2. the numbers 31 and 121 add up to 152 (15:02) 3. the files coordinates ended up being 31, 121
logically, it would be near impossible to get this code as there are multiple combinations that could add up 152. but with the power of fiction, anything can happen
...
HIDDEN DETAILS + EASTER EGGS
• the coordinates in which the files were located was 31, 132 which is also the coordinates of shanghai, chenle's hometown
this is also realistically impossible as well, they aren't in shanghai. but again, with the power of fiction, anything is possible

MORE CONNECTION TO BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
in beauty and the beast, Belle is said to read Romeo and Juliet to the beast during a song called "Human Again"
In Alexithymia, the book that marked their spare entrance keycard was "The Serpents Tongue" which connects to the idea of Romeo and Juliet.
In Romeo and Juliet, Romeo thought that Juliet was dead, and killed himself with poison, which accurately represents the idea of The Serpents Tongue as serpents are capable of producing venom
The story of Beauty and the beast continues to intertwine with the plot of Alexithymia with the song "Human Again". Chenle is described for be a monster, a creature that lacked something all humans have: feelings. So i guess there just a couple little connections to Beauty and The Beast
just some things people may not have realised :)

HANSOL
I've gotten mixed reactions with me using the name Hansol and again, apologises if i offended anyone.
I had no other purpose choosing Hansol beside the name sounding nice, and the surname Ji was entirely a coincident
The surname Ji means "memories" or "reminiscing" which i thought fitted quite well with his character hence why i chose it
...
KEY CHARACTERS TO REMEMBER FOR SEASON 2
• Yun • Old Man (Cafe shop owner) • Jisung • Winwin • Inho • Hansol
this characters are reoccurring in season two which make this bridge between the two seasons
...
NOTES.
Hyejins name was the only name in all my books without a meaning. All the female protagonists names have been chosen because do their meaning but because Alexithymia was a book i was originally just going to play with, i did not go too in dept with names
this was my very second book on this account, and the book i am the least happy with. this is also the book that gained me some recognition and i've talked about this on my message board but i really, really didn't want this book to be the one i should be recognised for.
people read one book of mine, and if they like it they try different ones. because alexithymia has such a cliche plot and a predictable story line, it's hard to engage readers to read my other stories that i am more happy with.
i have gone back and gotten rid of a lot from the first couple chapters, but idk how to save it anymore
