daeyeol - hand kisses:
daeyeol is shy.
when you compliment him, he tries to hide the blush on his face with whatever he can: his hands, a book, his phone. sometimes, that happens to be you.
"you look really nice today, you know." your voice breaks through the silence in the air.
daeyeol flushes, bringing his hands up to hide his face. compliments from you are common, but they still manage to catch him off guard. "stop that," he whines.
"not a chance. not until you stop being so handsome," you laugh, reaching out and peeling his hands off his face, holding them gently in yours.
he pouts. "i am not that handsome."
"you most definitely are," you smile. "not that that's super important. you're so good to me — i couldn’t ask for a better boyfriend," you say, squeezing his hands.
he stutters, pulling your hands up with his to hide his blushing cheeks. "i think you're pretty amazing too," he whispers, pressing his lips to your knuckles.
sungyoon - sleepy kisses:
sungyoon's romantic side appears when he's tired. catch him after a busy day, and all he wants to do is hold you in his arms.
today just so happens to be one of those days.
"sungyoon, we should have supper," you mumble, trying to squirm your way out of his grip. he'd held you captive for at least an hour now, and while you didn’t oppose his affection, you’d begun to get hungry.
"mhm," he hums, pulling you tighter instead of letting you go. his fingertips feel soft against the bare skin of your arms, and for a moment, you debate staying there beside him. your stomach growling changes that.
"sungyoon," you whined, shifting in his arms so you faced him. "food first. and then i will lie with you all night, no complaints."
"promise?" he asks softly.
"promise," you whisper.
"can i...?"
you nod.
he smiles, pressing a sleepy kiss to your lips. "you're too good to me."
jangjun - surprise kisses:
since the day you'd given jangjun permission to kiss you, he'd taken full advantage of it. kisses when you did the dishes, kisses when you lie in bed, kisses while you watch tv.
you'd think that you would've gotten used to it by now.
you haven't.
jangjun catches you sitting on the couch, reading, and skips over, pressing his lips to the corner of your mouth. before you can say anything, he's gone — disappeared into the kitchen.
“jangjun," you whine, placing your book down on the couch beside you.
"what's up?" he calls, peeking his head around the corner.
"you can't just do that!"
"do what?" he asks innocently.
"kiss me and walk away like that!" you pout.
"too late," jangjun laughs, ducking back into the kitchen.
you stand and walk to the doorway, only to be greeted by another kiss. you grip his sleeve tightly.
"scared i'll run off again?" he grins.
youngtaek - neck kisses:
youngtaek could be clingy.
not that this ever bothers you. he’s never overbearing, and sometimes, you’re clingy too. so there’s even give and take.
"i cannot believe i agreed to this," you groan, watching youngtaek scroll through netflix, picking another b-list movie to watch.
"oh, come on, they're hilarious."
you roll your eyes, leaning back against the couch cushion.
"i mean, we can stop if you want?" he hesitates, finger hovering over the play button.
"you can play it. you know i'm more than happy to just spend time with you," you reassure him.
youngtaek smiles ear to ear, starting the film. he nuzzles his face into your neck as the opening credits roll, pressing a gentle kiss where his lips rest.
"thank you for spending today with me."
seungmin - nose kisses:
seungmin doesn't love public affection. but he loves you, and he likes to show you that as often as he can.
when you’re in public, his intimacy with you is usually limited to hand-holding. he constantly worries that he isn't giving you enough, but you’ve never complained.
"seungmin!" you point to a flock of ducks that had congregated around a park bench.
seungmin smiles, tiptoeing to follow you and sit down, careful not to disturb the waterfowl. you slide your bag off your back, pulling out a bag of birdseed.
"i told you we'd see some!" you whispered, shaking some of the seed into your hand and tossing it for the ducks to eat.
"i thought it was too close to the end of the season," he laughs, throwing a handful onto the ground. the ducks seem to be used to human company — they’re comfortable stepping over seungmin’s feet to get even the smallest of seeds.
you look at seungmin, your face glowing. "i love them."
he leans towards you and presses a gentle kiss to your nose. "and i love you."
jaehyun - cheek kisses:
jaehyun has always been a bit of a romantic. he always insists on holding doors for you and walking you home. and although public affection embarrasses him, he always makes sure to send you off with a kiss.
"you didn't have to walk me home, jaehyun," you say softly. the two of you walk side by side, his fingers loosely interlaced with yours.
"of course i did, don't be silly," he laughs. jaehyun thinks it would be rude to make you walk home alone. and he’ll rest easier knowing that you made it safely.
"well, i appreciate it," you say, glancing at him.
he catches your eye and sends a smile your way. "you're gonna come over again tomorrow?"
"unless the universe tries to stop me, of course, i'll be there."
“good.”
the two of you stop at your doorstep, your hand slipping out of his.
“i’ll text you later,” he smiles, running a hand through his hair.
you nod, and before you can step inside, jaehyun has pressed a kiss upon your cheek.
the tips of his ears now bright red, he says, “have a good night,” before turning back down the sidewalk.
jibeom - eyelid kisses:
jibeom hates seeing you upset. so when you are, jibeom does everything in his power to make you feel better.
he knows his solutions are only temporary, but hopes that they help you in the long run.
when you come home in tears after a long day at work, jibeom is quick to rush to your side, engulfing you in a hug. your keys drop to the floor with a clang, and you return the embrace.
“long day?” he whispers, rubbing your back.
you nod, stifling a sob. “they’re all just so mean, jibeom.”
he sighs, pulling away to look you in the eye. “and none of them are going to matter in the end. you know that.” he frowns. “i know it sucks right now, but you’ll look back and laugh about this later.”
you nod, rubbing your eyes on the sleeve of your sweater. “you’re right. i’m being silly.”
“you’re not being silly. you’re being human,” jibeom says, taking his thumbs and swiping them across your cheeks, collecting the tears that you left behind.
jibeom presses a gentle kiss to each of your eyelids. “no more tears tonight, okay?”
donghyun - forehead kisses:
donghyun knows that you have your off days: days when you aren’t as confident, when you second guess yourself.
and donghyun knows that on those days, he’ll give you extra attention to remind you that despite your flaws, he is happy to be with you, just the way you are.
“i just don’t think this shirt is my colour,” you frown, looking at yourself in the mirror.
“any colour is your colour,” donghyun retorts, placing his hand on your waist. “you look good in anything.”
“you’re just trying to flatter me.”
“i’m just telling the truth,” he smiles. “i, personally, think you look good in anything.”
you roll your eyes, straightening out your top. “but don’t you think this one would look better?” you asked, reaching into your closet and grabbing a different one off a hanger.
“i think whatever you’re comfortable in is best.”
you sigh, looking between the shirt in your hands and the one you’re wearing.
donghyun grabs the one in your hand, tossing it aside.
“hey-”
he didn’t let you finish, placing his hands on your cheeks and staring you in the eye. he leaves a gentle kiss on your forehead. “you’re amazing no matter what you choose.”
joochan - proud kisses
joochan loves to show off your achievements. he’s always incredibly proud of you and everything you do, big or small.
when you have super productive weeks, he’s there to hype you up all the way. when you have less productive days, he supports the little achievements you make.
“joochan!” you call, standing over an assortment of photos on your kitchen table.
joochan is quick to be beside you, hand gently wrapped around your waist as you point out the collage in front of you.
“i think for my project, i’m going to submit this.” you gesture in front of you. the collage is photos of the two of you, flowers you had pressed months ago, and scrap paper.
“it’s wonderful,” he says, staring at it in awe. “you’re so talented.”
“joochan, you do me too much honour.”
“i mean it! i think every piece you make is wonderful!”
“stop that. some of them aren’t very good.”
“they may not be up to your standards, but even disappointments lead to improvement. now let’s celebrate you getting that final assignment done,” joochan smiles, kissing your cheek, nose, and finally your lips. “you deserve it.”
bomin - top of the head kisses
bomin loves to listen to you talk. he didn’t care if you were complaining about work or hyping up your favourite artist — he’s interested either way.
he doesn’t always respond to you — he’s always been more of the listener than the speaker — but he had found ways to show you his attention was there.
“-and then my manager told him the exact same thing that i did! can you believe it?” you groan, leaning your head against bomin’s chest. the two of you were a tangle of limbs on the couch, soft music playing in the background.
bomin chuckles, rubbing your back absentmindedly.
“and then, get this, my manager offered him a discount! because apparently, i had an attitude,” you sigh. “anyway, sorry. how was your day?”
“good. i missed you,” bomin mumbles, his lips pressing against the top of your head.
you flush. “i missed you too.”
