Fan Diary: I Waited a Whole Year to Check My Saju Match With My Bias

Okay, storytime. I put off checking my Saju match with Minnie for a YEAR. Not because I thought it would be bad. Because I'm a water-sign INFP, and I knew — the way you know a song is going to make you cry from the first three notes — that it would make me feel something. And I was not about to get emotionally read by a fan app on a random Tuesday.

So naturally, I did it at 1am. That's where all my bad decisions live. Typed in my birthday, picked my bias, held my breath like I was checking exam results for a class I never attended.

Seventy-three?? On what grounds

I came up Water (壬). Minnie came up Earth (戊). Score: 73. "Sparks & tension." Reader, I was offended. Seventy-three? On WHAT grounds. I have been nothing but devoted.

Then I actually read the reading. "Earth shapes water — gives it form and safety, but can box it in." Ma'am. MA'AM. I am water with no edges, and you're telling me she would give me a shape to hold? Put the Four Pillars DOWN.

And then: "There's friction, but also a magnetic pull. Handle it with patience and it gets addictive." Followed by — and I need you to be sitting down for this — "the one who softens first holds the power." Why does a silly idol game know my entire attachment style. I did not consent to this reading. (I did. I literally typed in my birthday. But still.)

Why 73 is actually the romantic number

Here's where I landed after staring at the ceiling for a while: 73 isn't a bad score. 73 is "we'd drive each other a little insane and I'd say thank you." A flat 100 is boring — that's two people nodding at each other forever. Give me banks and a river. Give me the slow burn. The reading literally calls our pairing "Banks & River": the earth that holds, the water that moves. That is a dynamic. That is a PLOT.

Anyway. I'm normal now. (Lie. I have re-read the result four times and shown two friends.) If you've been putting off checking your own element against your bias's, I understand the fear — being perceived by a fortune engine at 1am is a specific kind of vulnerable. But it's free, it takes a second, and it reads you for absolute filth in the gentlest way possible.
