love isn't limited to romantic relationships we see in movies. in reality, it's a universal language which makes us act accordingly with respect and kindness to others.

for brightwin, they found love in between the lines of their work, expressing it tacitly in many languages.

words of affirmation - brightwin loves to vocally express how much they admire each other and how much they respect each other's talents. we may joke about it a lot but bright is the one who uses this language more by saying how amazing win is any chance he gets. (cr. @krsrti)

as for win, he mostly does this by affirming bright that he will always be with him such as his "always with you, bro" and he even compliments bright confidently about bright's talents and his lips lol. to add, bright expresses what win couldn't.

it is actually safe to say that they are each other's hypemen. they would hype up each other loudly on interviews if they can. on a serious note, they are also vocal on being proud of each other.

quality time - sometimes you don't really need anything from the person as long as they are there. despite being mostly private about their endeavors behind the scenes, we've seen them enjoy their time together. one significant event that we saw this was when +++

they were asked how they coped up with the stress from issues and they described how they would talk to each other on call or just hang together this love language somehow scopes their whole bond.

giving gifts - to be honest, we don't really know much if they give gifts regularly to each other. we only know one which is win's chair gift to bright because bright slept uncomfortably in their tapings. this just shows how win takes care of bright in his own little ways.

acts of service - the most subtle of all. just doing something for a person can be someone's way of expressing their love for the person. we can see this a lot with brightwin with the way they check up on each other and mainly just being each other's support system.

brightwin's yinyang dynamic goes together with this love language. just the fact that bright guides and looks out for win a lot in the industry is an act of service. on the other hand, win does this subtly through actions whenever he gives bright a sip of his drink or +++

when he checked on bright's sweat during the fanmeet. he also tends to share his food with bright (he loves food too much we all know that). (credits to @gri_tay for the video screenshots)

let us also not forget how they willingly endorse each other's brands as support for their businesses. bright has said that he was the among the first ones to taste the macarons for win's souri. they already have that kind of bond that makes each other's opinions relevant.

physical touch - for physical touch, brightwin are pretty subtle which leaves all of us crazy when they do physical interactions.

win loves leaning towards bright a lot. exhibit 1:

NO WORDS NEEDED. This compilation from @gri_tay would explain how win uses physical touch.

as for bright, he mostly uses his eyes. not really physical but you all get the point. here is another @gri_tay compilation showing how bright can just stare at win all day long.

on a more serious note, bright also uses direct physical interaction as his means to convey something without needing words such as when win got stressed over a scene in 2gether. (Cr. @PiscesPing)

to conclude, love is not simply defined by labels or any standards that has been imposed by our society. not just because you love someone means you have to be in a romantic relationship with them. there are different faces of love, different kinds of love for each person.

love can be just simply love. nothing more and nothing less.

there is also no need to rush things between them as most of us wants to see more. we are already blessed to witness brightwin as they are. the progression of their friendship over time is what we should ponder on rather than imposing expectations on what they should be.

PS: this thread wasn't meant to be clowned over or to connect the dots. it's a simple appreciation of whatever we get from brightwin. as i have said, focus on their present and love them for what they are now, rather than merely imposing expectations for their bond
