NOTE: THIS MIGHT BE A LITTLE (SNORTS) BIASED SINCE I'M A SHIPPER BUT DAMN OKAY. I'M NOT ASKING EVERYONE TO BELIEVE ME AND MY DELUSIONS OF MY SHIP BEING REALER THAN REAL BUT PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THAT AFTER THE LEGENEDARY CHANBAEK HUG THAT HAPPENED LAST 160123 WHO BROUGHT TEARS TO ALL MY FELLOW SHIPPER, EVEN NON SHIPPERS THINK THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON WITH CHANYEOL AND BAEKHYUN. AND THIS POST CONTAINS NERDY THINGS SO BAI. I'M APOLOGIZING FOR MY GRAMMAR. I WANTED TO BLOG IN TAGALOG BUT MY FRIENDS ARE FROM THE OTHER PARTS OF THE GLOBE SO I TRIED MY BEST TO ENGLISH AND I KNOW I BUT ANYWAYS I'M TALKING TOO MUCH!! THANK YOU FOR READING ♥ - NING

SO okay. Anyone aware of nonverbals? well. let's all be nerds for awhile because damn, CHANBAEK WONT MAKE ME SIT STILL and I sort of wanted to consult an expert (well, not really expert but he's my teacher and he studied about nonverbals and he teaches nonverbals. he's also charming too!) moving on let's pretend i havent written that.

nonverbals or nonverbal coommunication *i dont know if they differ in some points but i think they are the same sorry sir i'm not listening that well in your lectures* is a form of communication that are neither written nor spoken. social psychologists define nonverbal communication as the transfer of meaningful message to one person or another by means of unspoken language! so kinesis, touching behavior and such means something! 

"if the words fail you, go analyze the nonverbals present."

so I asked him to analyze chanbaek's behavior using nonverbal communication because i dont know any psychologist and i can settle with him and his observation. he is a non shipper, a non kpop fan and he's only aware of the chanbaek existence because i'm bugging him so much from time to time. he's avery normal man who lives without the whole fandom thing so yeah.

last 160123, we all know what happened, right? THE LEGENDARY CHANBAEK HUG HAPPENED THANK YOU OH SEHUN FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN BY THE WAY. 

personally witnessing it, i knew that my ship was real. actually, even without witnessing such moment, i believed that my ship is real but I wasn't that delusional to confirm it based on how park chanyeol and byun baekhyun handled the situation made by sehun so i contacted my dear charming nonverbal communication teacher to analyze the moment for me. for a clearer view of what hppened, you can watch this fancam 

so my question to him was: what was your observation with chanyeol after watching the video.

"in the first seconds of the video, all i can hear was intense screaming. hahaha. pero si tangkad (chanyeol) slowly turned away (from his original position) when that member (sehun) tried to bring pretty guy near tangkad? and his smile looked nervous. member (sehun) was trying to turn him around to face pretty boy pero he's resisting. yung smile nya talaga. anticipating. but nervous or maybe anxious was the right term. TRANSLATION: in the first seconds of the video, all i can hear was intense screaming. but tangkad (chanyeol) slowly turned away when that member (sehun) tried to bring pretty boy near tangkad. and his smile looked nervous. member was trying to turn him around to face pretty boy but he's resisting but his smile really - it's anticipating but nervous... or maybe anxious was the right term.)

yun yung nakikita ko. ganyan din ako nung highschool. syempre i had my crush back then and my barkada would often tease me to her. para ngang ganyan ako kapag nandyan yung crush ko. you get blank all of a sudden - tapos you biglaan pa yung moment nyo and as a reflex, you'll try to get away from the situation kase hindi ka prepared. I think tangkad was really nervous but he was not against on what will happen. He just dont know what to do kase kinakabahan sya na naeexcite din. pwedeng nahihiya din sya. nahihiya kay crush yung dating nung ngiti nya." (TRANSLATION:  that's what i can see. I was like that when i was in highschool - back then i had a crush on my classmate and my friends would often tease me to her. you get all blank all of a sudden especially if the situation was all of a sudden and unplanned and as a reflex, you'll try to get away from the situation because you arent prepared. I think tangkad was really nervous be he was not against what will happen. He just dont know what to do because he's really nervous but excited at the same time. it can alse be that he's shy. he smiled like he's shy towards crush)

CHANYEOL WAS RESISTING  TO WHAT SEHUN WANTED TO HAPPEN WITH ALL HIS MIGHT BUT REALLY, CHANYEOL. YOUR SMILE SAYS IT ALL. U WANT IT TO HAPPEN BUT U KNOW FOR A FACT THAT YOU'LL BE IN DEEP . YOU ARE AWKWARD WITH BAEKHYUN BUT YOUR SMILE TELLS THAT YOU ARE ANTICIPATING FOR IT TOO - KINIKILIG BALLS MO AMININ MO NA.

another fancam that clearly shows chanyeol and his smile

kinikilig sya putangina

"then nung nag hug na, i noticed the way he held pretty boy. if i'm not mistaken and if my eyes arent playing with me, he hugged him, placed his hands on pretty boy's waist. naalala mo pa yung lecture natin about principles of nonverbals? NONVERBALS FOLLOWS CERTAIN RULES. iba ang behavior ng male at females. that goes also  in how guys act around with the same team orvice versa. and from what i see dun sa video na pinapanuod mo, tangkad handled pretty boy like he's a girl. tangkad's hands were suspicious to me. i bet sayo rin." (TRANSLATION: then when the hug happened, i noticed the way he held pretty boy. if i'm not mistaken and my eyes arent playing with me, he hugged him, placed his hands on pretty boy's waist. do you remember our lecture about principles of nonverbals? nonverbals follows certain rules. Male and female behaviors differ from each other. that difference goes also in how guys act around with the same team or vice versa. and from hat i see in the video you asked me to watch, tangkad handled pretty boy like a girl. tangkad's hands were suspicious to me. I bet yoou also feel the same."

ofc the way chanyeol held baekhyun was not normal for me. biased as it may seem but if chanyeol didnt liked it, he wouldnt hold baekhyun back. or even if he had no choice and he really disliked the idea of hugging baekhyun, he would go and hold him a bit higher (maybe in his scapula or something. bro hug? typical bro hug?)

And if you'll notice in this fancam - sehun wasnt guiding him where to touch baehkyun - HE WASNT EVEN FORCING HIM TO HOLD BAEK BECAUSE HE WAS BUSY WITH BAEKHYUN BUT CHANYEOL DID ALL BY HIMSELF. DONT GO TELLING ME THAT SEHUN FORCED HIM! HE WAS THE ONE WHO DID IT! SEHUN JUST MADE THE SITUATION AND CHANYEOL HAD HIS OWN WILL TO HUG BAEKHYUN OMGGGGG 

"awkwardness - dalawa lang naman yan. it's either akward sya dun kay pretty boy in a negative way or may something. by something, pwedeng developing crush ganun. ako kase, personally, i think it's the second one and i'm not being biased for you alam ko papalakpak yung tenga mo kapag sinabi ko to. pero personal opinion ko to, not because i want you to be satisfied.. ganyang ganyan ako nung highschool sa crush ko. and diba, koreans, as far as i know, they like skinship. so why resist if normal naman pala sa kanila yun? You know, bromance. And artista naman sila. Alam na nila yung dapat nilang gawin." (TRANSLATION: awkwardness is just two things. it's either he's awkward with pretty boy in a negative way or there's something. and when there something, probably developing crush. Personally, I think it's the second one and i'm not being biased for you because i know you'll be so delighted if i said this but this is personal opinion, not because i want you to be satisfied. I am definitely like that when i'm still in highschool towards my crush. And Koreans - as far as i know. they like skinship so why resist if it's normal for them right? they are both artists, they know what to do."

our conversation did not ended after he finished his observation with chanyeol. he also did an observation with Baekhyun!! 

i'll be using this video for photo proofs. credits to the one who made it.

"unlike tangkad, pretty boy was rather cooperative. he wasn't resisting. he's going on with the flow of what will happen. hindi naman sya no choice kase you know he can be like tangkad but he wasn't. he's just smiling, not looking at tangkad. pretty boy looked calmer than tangkad but the eye contact was absent. tapos he even removed his hat para di maging sagabal or tumama sa mukha ni tangkad. and he's smiling. shyly but he's smiling din. kinikilig? anticipating? pretty boy looks like he's totally okay with it. he hugged him too. though he's guided, nagstay yung hug nya kay tangkad kahit na inalis na ni member yungguidance nya." (TRANSLATION: Unlike tangkad, pretty boy was rather cooperative. he wasnt resisting. he's going on with the flow of what will happen. It's appears to me that he's  not in a situation where he doesnt have a choice because you know he can be like tangkad but he wasnt. he's just smiling, not looking at tangkad. pretty boy looked calmer than tangkad but the eye contact was absent then he even removed his hat so that it wouldnt be a nuissance or hit tangkad in the face. he's smiling. shyly but smiling? kinikilig? anticipating? pretty boy looks like he's totally okay with it. he hugged him too. though he's guided. his hug stayed even after member already removed his guidance over him.)

MY TEACHER THEN CONCLUDED

"it would be rude to say na they are gay for each other. They might not be. I dont know. We dont know. But from what i've seen - parang ito yung typical highschool romance. still lost and unsure whether it's a crush or it's something more. Parang ganyan. And these two person - they have something special. Sure they are groupmates but their bond was different from the rest. it's special and exclusive. diba nga sabi mo, tangkad doesnt have a problem when he was demanded by member (sehun) to hug his other member (xiumin) but when it comes to pretty boy, tumitiklop sya. that says it all. you know using nonverbals in tdetermining behaviors and attitudes of ppl is a smart move. sabi sa books, nonverbals are more credible than verbal communication so if you're in doubt, you study how they act and the other elements na present na hindi sinasabi at di rin sinasalita. (translation: it would be rude to say that they are gay for each other.

UGH I FINISHED OMG. Istg after having this conversation, i cam to conclude that chanyeol may have a crush on baekhyun! my bias has a crush on the prettiest man i have ever seen in my entire life and it's okay. baekhyun's cool with the set up. i know hinting stuff like this is wrong but my heart was happy, thinking about my teacher's statement that the two of them have something special exclusive only for them with the way they act with each other. that enough is okay with me and there will be no way i'm going to move on with this damn 160123 HUG!
