who is more excited for halloween ?

          DAEHYUNIE,  being a makeup artist who specializes in sfx, is particularly fond of this holiday, especially when you take into account their adoration for dressing up and shopping overall. at least a month prior to the infamous october 31st, they have their whole costume planned out & ordered / custom made, as well as a matching one for their boyfriend - they give him the freedom to be a huge part of this creative process & allow him to add or subtract whatever he wants from the outfit. though the house had an additional, much smaller room if any of the college roommates wanted their privacy, daehyun took it over slyly, since it was right next to his & jaewon’s, transforming it into their beauty room, filming room, costume room, room for when he wants to get especially freaky with jaewon while their home isn’t empty since it has an extra layer of sound isolation. besides, they get spoiled with candy in even bigger dosages than on a daily basis, so how could they not be excited for halloween?

who gives the best gifts ?

          DAEHYUNIE,  who puts a special amount of care, love & attention to detail into every gift they craft or pick out. they use any given opportunity or excuse to shower their friends with gifts - anniversaries, birthdays, christmas, valentines day or any other holiday. they also happen to be the type to buy an item they randomly see while out and about, solely because it reminded them of their significant other, and surprise their loved ones.

who sings along to the radio the loudest ?

          JAEWONIE,  be it genuinely singing with his angelic voice, or being a crackhead and messing around in order to lure a smile or some giggles out of his boyfriend. whatever the instance, daehyun always ends up leaning their head against their lover’s shoulder, either due to swooning or laughing too hard. if it happens to be the former, they often press their lips against jaewon’s throat and feel the light vibrations of his vocal cords - they don’t stop pecking the warm flesh until they hear his voice falter, or have their friends complain about their sickening pda. they even have jaewon hum their favorite tunes as lullabies, slowly putting them to sleep with his honey tones almost every night. daehyun, on the other hand, happens to be insecure and shy about their singing - they merely feel comfortable enough to do it seldom, and only in front of jaewon.

who actually finishes a book they’ve started ?

          DAEHYUNIE,  who doesn’t lay the book down, gripping it tightly, until they’ve soaked in every single word between the hard covers. they feel very peaceful at night, when they and jaewon are in bed, daehyun reading their mystery novel while jaewon is watching space documentaries or entertaining himself in his own way. the comfortable silence between them is soothing, relaxing, no tension in the air whatsoever, allowing dae to get fully invested in the alternative, fictional world he’s reading about. once they finish a chapter, they often make a pause to mold into their boyfriend’s side, snuggle and whine about whatever’s going on in the story, telling him all about the plot and explaining their opinions, starting a discussion which lasts until the ungodly hours of the night, when their lips get too tired to talk and soft kisses bring them the sweetest of slumbers.

who falls asleep during a movie ?

          JAEWONIE,  even though daehyun makes an effort to nudge him every time they catch his lids starting to get a bit too heavy. even though they spend nearly every waking moment together, their sleeping schedules are not entirely synced up, so sometimes when dae’s in the mood to watch a movie, their boyfriend might be too tired for it, but he still does his best to make his little one happy. and who’s to blame him for dozing off when dae has a deadly habit of cuddling whilst watching movies, their fingers carding through the fluffy brunet locks in such a tranquil manner?

who plans a surprise getaway vacation ?

          JAEWONIE  spoils his lover in such a way. daehyun is too much of a control freak, and planning a trip would bring them more stress than anything else, so i assume jaewon takes on that task when he sees their partner needing some additional, extended rest, or when their anniversary is approaching. he’s a lot more spontaneous than daehyun, and although they’d initially panic over the surprise and the fact that they need to pack real quick, i feel he’d put their mind at ease really effortlessly and reassure them that everything would be okay.

who comes home with useless decorative knick knacks for the house every single day ?

          DAEHYUNIE  has been scolded too many times for exactly that. soon, their room will start resembling that of a hoarder, because they can’t not act on their primal impulse to buy shiny, sparkly, cute things, which just so happen to be what they desperately need in that exact moment.

who takes more pictures ?

          JAEWONIE  is quite obviously a lover of the sky, be it during daytime, nighttime, sunrise or sunset, and he tries to capture it all. dae’s heard him complain about the beautiful hues and stars not translating well into pictures via cameras so many times, yet they find it endearing whenever they see the younger directing his lenses upwards. dae doesn’t have the habit of capturing sights they find pretty, which they regret later on, but they love living in the moment far more. i love to think that jaewon has a collection of dae’s cute sleepy photos since that’s the only time he can snap pics of his boyfriend without receiving a fussy reaction in return.

who likes baths? who likes showers ?

          DAEHYUNIE  is a bath type of person. candles, bath salts, bath bombs, relaxation and pleasure for all senses - they are capable of spending hours in calm, bubbly, sparkly & nicely-scented water, until their skin turns pale and wrinkly. it gets even better if there’s soft music playing in the background and their man’s holding them in his arms, pecking their shoulder and conversing with them gently, fingers interlaced for daehyun to kiss them repeatedly. they’re thankful whenever jaewon agrees to spend so much time with them in the bathroom, especially since they feel like he prefers quick showers.

who keeps a weekly planner ?

          DAEHYUNIE  tried to start their inspo and study journals, planners, organizers many a times but each time they buy all the needed stationary items, they keep up the habit for a day or two, and then get too lazy to continue doing it. even if they make a planner for the entire week, they surely will never stick to it - even though they claim they’re organized and have a fixed routine they feel comfortable in, oftentimes they're truly trapped in it, suffocating and waiting for jaewon to come around with his fickleness and ruin their dull schedule.

who actually watches the discovery channel ?

          JAEWONIE.  i can see him eating snacks and forgetting to chew, mouth stupidly hanging open as he stares at the screen in awe. i feel like not even dae walking in front of him in lingerie would be able to unglue his eyes from whatever documentary he’s watching. and even though dae should be interested in some of those due to their background and field of study, they can’t find it in them to gift more than 15 minutes of their attention to that channel. if they have nothing better to do, they stick to their boyfriend’s side and turn into the most annoying, attention-seeking brat in the world - sometimes they just fall asleep on his lap, and other times go down on him, just to test how long he can ignore them before succumbing to their ministrations.

who brings up having kids first ?

          DAEHYUNIE  is that type of person who’s always dreamed of having their one true love throughout their whole life, and in their heart of hearts they truly believe they’ve found that in jaewon. they aren’t afraid of settling down with him, and since they’re so family oriented, they want to have kids with him one day. soon, if anyone asks them. i believe they eased into that conversation when they got their kitty together, testing the potential child waters by babying the animal and using it to spark baby talks. ‘don’t curse in front of kitty, will you do that in front of our babies too?!’ ‘kitty’s in the room, don’t be indecent, you’re gonna scar our kids if you do that in the future’ are some of the comments they not so subtly made before putting a stop to beating around the bush and directly asking: do you want kids? and an even scarier question: do you want kids with me?

who fixes things around the house when they break ?

          JAEWONIE  always has to fix his boyfriend’s messes. objectively being the clumsiest person in the world, daehyun often drops or breaks things, be it something tiny and irrelevant, or actually important house appliances - they claim they don’t need help at first, stubbornly attempting to figure out how to mend their screw-ups, until they eventually get too irked to deal with it and subsequently pass it onto their lover with apologetic puppy eyes. sometimes they even try to earn a smile by saying ‘i broke it just so i could watch you fix it’.

who leaves their dirty towels on the floor ?

          JAEWONIE,  and it irks the neat freak in dae so much. they’ve had too many talks about keeping everything in line, and they do believe he’s doing his best to make them not lose their mind, but it happens occasionally that they come across a forgotten wet towel or a misplaced sock somewhere in the room, to which they grunt audibly, making it known that they’re mad. however, it doesn’t take long for them to cool off, especially if jaewon’s offering kisses or chocolates.

who makes the coffee in the morning ?

          DAEHYUNIE  loves waking their boyfriend up in the morning. if he has classes really early, before they do, & they see him set an alarm for 7am, they wake up at 6:30am, just to spend some sweet time with him before he has to go. they make him a cup of coffee, and leave it on the nightstand before mounting him and waking him up with kisses and hushed sweet nothings. it usually ends with jaewon sitting with his back pressed against the headrest of the bed, dae nestled on his lap and dragging their lips and tongue over the side of jaewon’s neck while he’s sipping coffee and slowly coming to his senses, a large hand supporting the small of dae’s back. they figure it’s a beautiful start of a new day - sometimes the sleep is too good for them to give this treatment to their boyfriend, but they try to include this morning ritual as often as possible.

who gets jealous over very petty things ?

          JAEWONIE.  daehyun doesn’t get extremely jealous unless someone makes a very obvious move on their boyfriend - that’s when all hell breaks loose and wigs start to fly and claws come out. but i do think jaewon’s the more possessive one, especially due to dae’s naturally friendly personality which others may perceive as coquettish and then pursuit the cute little fairy, however also because dae loves consciously making him jealous since they love how he reacts to it, they love feeling claimed.. in a non-toxic, loving way, yk.

who exercises more ?

          DAEHYUNIE  goes to the gym as much as they can, with jeremy by their side, coaching them and making sure they don’t overwork themself. it’s doctor’s orders and they love keeping themself in shape anyway, since they get fairly insecure when they aren’t at their ideal weight. over the time, they’ve built a little bit of muscle, so they find it exciting when they play with their boyfriend and actually have the strength to tackle him or pin him down, overpower him even if it lasts only for a second. 

who actually reads the newspaper ?
