An obvious bad decision made early on, noticed but ignored, that remains harmless for a significant period of time and inevitably causes damage when the decision is invoked.
"I'll just duct tape it, just a temporary fix. I'll do it properly later."
"That's Chekhov's footgun waiting to fire. Do it properly right now."

Get the Chekhov's Atom Bomb mug.Lee Chieh is someone with many different sides. He is strong, can be so motivated if something interests him and looks very pretty and sexy.
Furthermore, he can be really caring and loving but only after he starts to trust and to know you, which can take its time.
He's smart and intelligent and can give good advice. Although he might not like to take some for himself from time to time. But even more important: he doesn't judge a book by its cover.
If you disappoint him or break his trust it can be very hard to rebuild what you've had, or he will just not talk to you anymore and only show you his cold shoulder.
BUT! He's also very funny and super cute when he laughs.
His nickname is bubu and I just love him.
He's a keeper with good and bad sides
But that's what's important.
You gain a lot when you can find a Lee Chieh for yourself.
But this one is mine :D
