Idk im just kinda cringe

BRO HAS KILLED PEOPLE WITH HIS BARE HANDS AND IS CANONICALLY A YANDERE

Jinu:

His first reaction? Shock. In his eyes, you’re the definition of beauty. So the thought that you of all people could ever feel insecure about the way you look catches him off-guard. But the shock quickly fades to concern, his heart aching with sympathy and love for you. He wraps his arms around you, holding you close to him, whispering in your ear that you’re beautiful, and promising that he’d do anything to make you see yourself the way he sees you. Even if it takes a lifetime.

He ALWAYS thinks you’re beautiful- but he starts vocalizing it more often. Not every time, because then he’d just be gushing about you 24/7, and he doesn’t want to go overboard and be too much. But he wants you to know that whether you see your own beauty or not, he does.

If he’s worried you’re not eating properly because of body image, he cooks for you as often as he can. He does research into what nutrients humans need to eat to stay healthy each day (because let’s be honest- after multiple centuries of not needing human food to survive, he probably doesn’t know shit), and tries to incorporate that knowledge into his cooking. If he knows you have foods that you’re more comfortable eating (safe foods), he’ll make them, and slowly try to change it up to help you branch out.

… Also, he presses slow kisses to your skin between whispered, “You’re beautiful”s.

Romance:

The first self-deprecating word out of your mouth, and his jaw drops. No words for a few moments, just silence as he stares at you. Then he pulls you onto his lap, holding you close and burying his face in your hair. His own eyes grow misty, and the only words he can manage to whisper against the top of your head are, “You are perfect, my love.” And unbeknownst to you, he makes a silent vow to himself- that he will track down each and every one of your insecurities and kiss it away.

Absolute body worship. Not just necessarily in a sexual way, of course, but in the way where a soft sigh of, ‘Gods, your beautiful’ escapes his lips at seemingly the most random occasions. When you’ve just woken up, when he’s holding you, when you’re talking about something you love- you might catch him gazing at you like you’re the only thing in the whole world.

He often struggles to find what’s too much. If he could, he would compliment you every second of every minute of every century- but he knows that too many compliments might make you uncomfortable, and scare you away. He wants to find the balance- a way to silence your insecurities while making sure you’re not uncomfortable.

Abby:

When you tell him, his muscles tense, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides. Then, he hugs you tightly- a bit too tight for complete comfort- and tries to calm himself down. When he speaks, his voice is shaky, and it’s obvious that he’s trying to hold back strong emotions- and likely, tears. He tells you that he loves you, and that you’re beautiful just the way you are.

He makes sure you’re eating enough and well, cooking good meals for you. If you struggle to eat, he’ll hold your hand and softly encourage you. There’s never anything remotely forced about the way he does it- he sees your struggles, and takes them seriously. He wants to do his best to make you feel good in your own body.

If you start to say something self-deprecating about your appearance, he’ll kiss you long and hard, leaving you breathless. He’ll gently force you to self-affirm aloud that you’re beautiful, using kisses as both punishments and rewards, depending on preference.

Mystery:

Mystery’s reaction is nowhere near as reactive- as is with him most of the time. He doesn’t cry, doesn’t make any sort of big fuss. He’s just quiet for a few moments, before he wraps his arms around you, pulling you close and holding you like you’ll slip away. He doesn’t let go- and after a few moments, he whispers a soft, “You’re beautiful” in your ear. He clings to you for the rest of the night.

Most of the changes aren’t vocal- he doesn’t compliment you much more than before. But he does little things to take care of you, and show you how beautiful you are to him. Whether it’s resting his head on your thighs (cough cough or tits cough), or tracing his fingertips from your jawline and neck down to your stomach, or even just letting himself gaze at you unashamedly more often, his affection and love for you and your body is undeniable.

Baby:

For a moment, there’s silence. Then he carefully takes your chin in his hand, forcing you to meet his golden gaze, and he asks, “Who. The fuck. Made you think that about yourself.” There’s a quiet fire in his voice, low and dangerous- but it’s obvious that the anger isn’t directed towards you. Still, he forces himself to take a deep breath and calm down, before wrapping his arms around you and burying his face against the crook of your neck. After a few shaky breaths on his part, he begins murmuring soft compliments against your skin, each once followed by a slow kiss. He might be fighting back tears, but he’d never admit it.

(apologies in advance: it will likely be incredibly obvious that I have never cuddled with anyone or ever had a romantic partner TvT)

-Cuddling headcanons-

Jinu:

He’s not the biggest on cuddling- or rather, he doesn’t initiate it himself very often, especially in the beginning of the relationship. He doesn’t want to push boundaries, and accidentally make you uncomfortable. Not to mention, he doesn’t trust himself not to accidentally hurt you.

That being said, he prefers to be big spoon. The feeling of holding you to his chest, burying his face in your hair- it makes him feel calmer. Because he knows that you’re in his arms, and he’ll do everything in his power to keep you safe. Even if it’s from himself.

If you rest your head in his lap or on his shoulder, he’ll instinctively run his fingers through your hair like you’re a cat he’s petting. It’s a habit that’s formed from dealing with a massive fucking tiger over the centuries.

Romance:

Doesn’t mind if he’s big spoon or little spoon- all that really matters is being close to you. If he’s being the big spoon, he holds you gently, yet with an unwavering embrace that tells you he won’t let go. If he’s being little spoon, he might take one of your hands to softly press his lips against, and just… hold it there. Like a silent promise that he wants you there.

If you bury your face in the crook of his neck, or rest your head on his shoulder, his hair smells like strawberries. 10/10 would recommend

If he wants attention while you’re busy, he’ll wrap his arms around your shoulders and nuzzle his face against your neck. If you don’t acknowledge him, he’ll press kisses against your neck and cheeks. If you still don’t acknowledge him, he’ll shift until he’s practically on top of you and press kisses all over your face and lips until you acknowledge him. And if you somehow still don’t acknowledge him? Suffer from the silent treatment.

Abby:

Big on bear-hugs. As in, if you are being hugged by him from any angle, it’s a miracle that none of your bones break when he crushes you against him. HOWEVER, a plus to this is that he’s also great at back-cracking! So as long as you don’t mind the wind getting knocked out of you, consider yourself as having a personal masseuse.

I’m not sure there’s even a way Abby could ever be little spoon, considering the sheer size of this man. So, chances are that you’re gonna be stuck being little spoon for the rest of time. And if he falls asleep while spooning you? Yeahhh, goodluck getting out of his arms.

If you’re ignoring him, or too busy to give him attention, he might just pick you up and carry you over to the bed or couch, and hold you snuggled up against him until you either admit what’s wrong or relax.

Mystery:

Doesn’t really like being little spoon unless he’s upset. Usually, he’ll be big spoon, or just wrap his arms around you so that you’re both holding each other close. His hair is also quite soft, and if you run your fingers through it, he will literally fucking melt.

Sometimes when he’s feeling clingy, or just wants to be near you, he’ll curl up next to you on the couch and rest his head on your lap. But if he wants your attention as well, he might literally sit himself on your lap (or pull you onto his own lap), just so that you’re forced to look at him and give him attention.

If you’re upset, and he’s cuddling you for comfort, he might whisper soft affirmations of love and affection for you. Considering he’ not the most talkative, his words carry a lot of weight, and mean to world.

Baby:

Every time he holds you, it’s like he has all the time in the world. There’s never any rush to go do other things and move on with the day, never any outside reason good enough for him to let you go. His hold is lazy, yet possessive, and unyielding.

If he’s spooning you, he’ll bury his face in your hair or against the crook of your neck, like you’re his escape from the outside world, his sanctuary. Unless you genuinely want out of his arms, he’s not letting go. You got shit to do? Too bad. He’s an idol, so he’s rich- you don’t need to go do anything.

~Saja Boys kissing hcs~

Jinu:

At first, kisses from Jinu were tentative; nervous, yet wanting. Like he wasn’t sure if you truly wanted him, or if he even deserved you. But as time passes, kisses from him grow sweeter and more assured, conveying his unwavering adoration and love for you.

He doesn’t particularly like showing you the darker parts of himself- aka, his ‘demon traits’. So when he’s kissing you- at least, in the beginning of your relationship- he tries to suppress his demonic features. But the more you coax him out of that shell, the more he starts to let go of that notion, and slowly starts to embrace the things he doesn’t like about himself.

Often, due to a lot of self-worth issues, he lets you take the lead for kisses, not wanting to accidentally push you too far. But sometimes if things start to get steamier, and he’s already breathlessly asked you for affirmation that this really is okay with you, he can’t help but take the lead a bit more.

Many times, if he’s feeling grateful for you, or just feeling affectionate, he’ll give you a quick peck on the lips- short, sweet, loving. Sometimes, though, a ‘quick peck’ might escalate into a full makeout session, which generally consists of him halfheartedly arguing that you two ‘shouldn’t be doing this right now’, and yet finding himself unable (and unwilling) to pull away.

Romance:

This man is literally the GOD of kissing. Soft, slow kisses that leave you wanting more, small pecks that are fast but sweet, and passionately messy kisses that leave you a flushed, breathless pile of mush underneath him.

On the occasion, especially if the two of you are cuddling, he’ll start peppering you with kisses, especially your face. One to each of your cheeks, and your forehead, your nose, all over- until his lips finally meet yours once more. It’s both sweet and romantic- though it’s really not that hard for him to be seductive with it, too.

Romance loves it when yours hands wander while he’s kissing you. Whether to his hair, his face, his neck, his chest, or- ahem- lower places, he will literally melt against you, craving as much closeness as possible. He loves it when you touch him, no matter where that may be.

Abby:

Abby’s kisses tend to be the most addicting combination of slow and rough. He tries to take his time, to be gentle, but there’s always a sense of hunger in the way he kisses you, like he can’t ever get enough.

Sometimes, he’ll literally pick you up in his arms and settle you on his lap so that you’re straddling him, and then start kissing you wherever he can reach. He doesn’t do that every time he kisses you, but he loves doing it- especially if you’ve been overworking yourself, and he needs to pull you away with a distraction.

If he gets a bit too carried away, he might accidentally extend his claws- so you can imagine that it might get a little painful if he’s gripping you too tightly. He tries to be more aware of it, so that he doesn’t accidentally hurt you, or tear your clothing. Unless, of course, things get more heated, in which case, tearing your clothing may or may not be a bit more useful.

Mystery:

With Mystery, there are no in-betweens when it comes to him kissing you. Sometimes, it’s just a soft, gentle press of his lips against yours, sweet and affectionate. Othertimes, seemingly out of nowhere, his lips are fiery and rough against your own. As in, pinning-your-hands-down-and-making-out-with-you-like-he’s-starving-and-you’re-the-sweetest-fruit-he’s-ever-tasted.

Sometimes, he gets a bit too carried away, and may accidentally bite down to hard on your lower lip- it’s rare that it gets to the point of drawing blood, but it happens on the occasion. Whenever that happens, he always quietly apologizes; and whether you’re upset with him or not, he’ll make it up to you by spooning you, if you’ll let him.

Following the previous headcanon, generally this can mean a crap ton of hickeys that have a wide range of visibility. And these aren’t only when things get more heated between the two of you- sometimes he just. Gives you hickeys. With literally no reason behind the action. He always checks to make sure he hasn’t hurt you, and if not, he doesn’t feel an ounce of guilt.

Baby:

Casual kisses on the lips from Baby tend to be slow and sweet, borderline seductive, and always linger a bit longer than either of you mean for them to. And though he’s always silently reluctant to pull away, he can easily content himself with the knowledge that he left you wanting more.

At times when things start to get heated between the two of you, his kisses remain tantalizingly slow, but there’s a passionate sort of fire in the way his lips move against your own that only grows with each taste he gets. And when you inevitably have to pull away with a gasp for air, he just moves his lips elsewhere (your jaw, your neck, etc), unwilling to completely part his lips from your body.

Sometimes, out of nowhere, Baby will press soft, slow kisses to your skin, just because he knows it’ll fluster you- and they’re often followed by a slight nip of his teeth, just to keep you on your toes. His main targets are usually your neck, your jawline, and your hands and wrists- but he’ll kiss anywhere he can easily reach.

Jinu:

“Hot and respectful, but soft and sweet”

In front of others, he comes of as confident and charming. In reality? He’s mostly just respectful and sweet. He doesn’t try to push past your boundaries, and overall, he’s just such a gentleman.

Jinu gets nervous when moments get soft. He’s learned to be manipulative by nature over the past 400 years, and he hates that about himself. He’s scared to be vulnerable, and scared when you’re vulnerable with him, too- because he’s silently terrified to find that he’s been using you for his own gain. He does everything he can to keep things balanced and equal in the relationship, always focusing more on repaying you for your love- often to an extent that takes a toll on his mental health.

He falls asleep relatively easily, but he has a lot of nightmares. He doesn’t always wake up from them, but he’ll often toss and turn and cry out in his sleep from the bad dreams. The dreams usually involve leaving his family, but most of them also taunt him with the fear of losing you. Whether by betraying you, or your death, or being unable to protect you, they all play into that fear. Gwi-ma’s a fucking bitch istg-

Wears a T-shirt and pajama pants to sleep. The aforementioned pajama pants may or may not have teddy bears and choochoo trains. (Choo-choo). Also, he has an emotional support teddy bear 🧸

Doesn’t like showing his patterns as often, and they usually only appear in moments of vulnerability or anger. He sees them as solely a reminder of his shame, his failures, and doesn’t like you seeing that part of him.

Doesn’t really use pet names, but he’ll occasionally use 자기야 (jagiya), or ‘honey’.

Romance:

“Flirtatious and grand, but genuine and loving”

Romance genuinely is a big flirt, and loves to shower you with compliments, reassurances, and gifts. Being loved by him is the definition of princess treatment. But when it comes to receiving those things in turn? He’s often very touched, but uncertain around the returned affection. While he may give affection more often, he often compares your heartfelt affection to his own, worrying his way of showing it isn’t enough- that it’s empty.

He often has a hard time falling asleep. When he does manage to rest, he can stay asleep just fine, but while he’s waiting for sleep to find him, it feels like eternity. Sometimes he’ll read a book, or write something late at night, mostly to tire himself out. Also, he’s the only saja boy that wears a full set of actual pajamas.

His hair is actually closer to a cranberry-red color. Also, it smells like strawberries because I said so.

Doesn’t like showing his patterns unless he’s fully in demon form. He just doesn’t really like how they look on him otherwise. While the others patterns are mostly varying shades of purple, his are a bit more of a magenta color.

Romance uses a LOT of pet names, and switches them up a lot. But some of the most common ones are honey, darling, love, baby (or babe), sweetheart, 애인 (aein), 내 사랑 (nae sarang), and 사랑하는 사람 (saranghaneun saram).

Abby:

“Fit and sexy, not-so-secretly a big softie”

He’s genuinely like a big teddy bear. Always warm, and always a safehaven. While on the outside, he’s flirty, and strong, and a bit arrogant, on the inside, he’s soft, and unsure. Overconfidence is a coping mechanism. Yes, he’s attractive, and draws in the masses with muscles- but he’s also scared that that’s all he is, and all anyone will ever see of him. He doesn’t want to be loved just for his looks, but for who he is.

Abby’s honestly kind of a malewife. He cooks, cleans, and also sews- he kind of has to know how to sew, considering the sheer amount of buttons that pop off his shirts anytime he so much as moves. Essentially, he has interests in things considered traditionally masculine and things considered traditionally feminine, and doesn’t give a crap what people think about that.

At night, he falls asleep easily, and is really hard to wake up once he’s out. Which can be a bit difficult, considering the fact that he often ends up spooning you from behind in his sleep. And given how strong he is, it’s gonna be hard to escape, even just to get up and get some water. For the record, he sleeps in either a pair of sweatpants, or just his boxers. He’d also probably sleep with a teddy bear.

Doesn’t usually show his patterns, mostly because he just doesn’t give a shit about it and is prone to forgetting whether they’re visible or not.

Pet names he’ll call you: Baby (babe), hun, love, 귀요미 (gwiyomi).

Mystery:

“Mysterious and dreamy, yet fiercely loyal”

His idol persona honestly isn’t much different than he actually is. He’s quieter, and rather shy about showing his face. Not necessarily even because of an insecurity- he just doesn’t like showing his face as often. For the purposes of stealing the souls of the impressionable masses, this worked out for the better- while he’s not likely to lose his temper, his eyes do tend to flash gold when he’s angry, even if he doesn’t show it outwardly. He’s not super expressive- most of the time, he just looks aloof, and distracted.

Loves to spoon at nighttime, generally preferring to be big spoon, though he won’t protest to being little spoon, either. He’ll usually wear a pajama shirt and shorts to bed, and sometimes even his arm warmers and SOCKS.

His hair is soft as literal silk, and he likes letting you play around and style it from time to time- though he likely won’t keep it in public. In human form, his eyes are a deep violet color. He doesn’t particularly have any strong feelings towards his patterns, but he is a bit sensitive when it comes to his tusks. The more comfortable he grows with someone, the more open he’ll be with showing them.

Mystery isn’t big on pet names for you, but the ones he does use on occasion are ‘honey’ and ‘love’.

Baby:

“How can someone be so adorable AND HOT AT THE SAME TIME”

Honestly loathes playing the role of the cute and innocent maknae in the eye of the public. The main good thing that came out of it for him, was that he discovered he can do puppy-dog eyes and basically get anything he wants- and has no shame in doing so.

Ironically enough, while he may be the maknae of the Saja Boys, he’s also literally the only one of them who isn’t a switch or a submissive. Am I going to elaborate? Fuck no <3

Along with this, while he doesn’t mind wearing colorful clothes and pink, he generally prefers less saturated shades. His teal hair is usually a darker, faded light-blue color, and most of his clothes are more casual or grunge. He prefers comfort over all else. However, because he’s my favorite and this man is hotter than literal hellfire, I’m just gonna say: turtleneck undershirts with crop-top sweaters, possibly fingerless gloves.

Sleeping positions with Baby tend to vary- sometimes, he’s fully hugging you from behind, face tucked against the crook of your neck. Other times, he’ll give you space, but he’ll always keep some form of physical contact, whether it’s just holding your hand, or your backs pressed to each other. He tends to wear a t-shirt and shorts to bed, and the occasional shirtless night.

Perfectly fine with showing his patterns in front of you. Same with his demon form, though he generally just prefers to present as a mix of his two forms. Patterns, fangs, faded hair, and sometimes the golden eyes.

Jinu:

The moment you told him that you’re autistic, he started doing research. He wants to try to understand you better, and learn more about what the term ‘autistic’ means. Considering he’s a 400-year-old demon, he doesn’t know much originally. And for the record, he actually LISTENS to the opinion of other autistic people and refuses to go anywhere near Autism $peaks.

Anytime he learns something new, or a fact he finds interesting, he asks you about it. “Did you know some autistic people experience (symptom)? Do you experience that?”

He is never judgemental with you, and never treats you differently just because of your neurotype. He’s always respectful, loving, and understanding. It’s obvious in the way he asks that he’s just curious, and wants to understand you better.

If you don’t want to go somewhere or do something because you know it will be too overstimulating, he never pushes you. He’ll offer a second option, and if that’ll be too much, too, he’ll ask if you want to stay in and just spend some time together instead. That’s all he wants. But if you need some space, he respects that.

Whenever you go mute/nonverbal, he always carries a notepad around for you to use if you feel like it. If you don’t want to talk or write, he’ll stay close to you quietly, just keeping you company. There’s never any pressure.

Romance:

Literally pampers you to the max. Every stim toy and comfort item under the sun, he’ll buy it for you. Want a soft weighted blanket? Done. Noise canceling headphones broke? Already ordered you a new pair, and he already had bought a backup pair for you just in case. He wants to make sure you always have everything you need to be comfortable.

If any of your stims involve him, like playing with his hair, or hugging/being hugged by him for pressure, or even just saying his name aloud because it’s a Good Sound/Word? He is absolutely smitten, and may or may not get a bit emotional about it on the occasion.

He can be a bit overbearing at times, but if it’s too much, he’ll back off immediately. He truly and genuinely just wants to support you and make you happy.

When you’re overstimulated, he’ll bring you a weighted blanket to use if you want, along with some snacks and water, fidgets and comfort items for if you need them. He’ll ask if it’s okay to touch you, and if it is, he’ll quietly slide his arms around you and hold you close.

If you go nonverbal/mute, Romance will hold his palms out facing you, and use one as ‘yes’ and the other for ‘no’. He makes sure not to ask too complex questions so as not to overwhelm you, but it’s a good strategy for asking if you’re hungry, or need water.

Abby:

Asks ahead of time if a food might not be sensory-safe for you, and if it isn’t, he’ll avoid making meals with in later on. He wants to make food that BOTH of you can enjoy together.

Kinda awkward about it at first solely because he doesn’t know how to support you, or what it means to be autistic. But when you explain it to him, he immediately does everything he can to support you. He’s always asking questions about whether something would be helpful or not to you, and what to do if you’re feeling overstimulated.

If you have difficulty with touch, he struggles a bit with that, since he’ a very touchy person. But anytime he catches himself about to put an arm around your shoulder or waist, he’ll stop himself, and ask if you’re okay with the contact or not.

He struggles a bit when you’re having a meltdown/shutdown. He doesn’t really know how to help when you need space, considering most of his affection is shown through touch. So if you’re feeling sensory-averse to touch? Yeah, it’s a bit difficult for him. But he’ll give you space, and bring you water and food, and anything you need.

When you’re sensory-seeking touch, he is the perfect cuddlebear. He’ll hug you close as tight as you need for pressure, and considering that man has huge fucking muscles, he’ll basically envelope you in his arms.

Mystery:

When you make a random noise as a stim (as in, when he walks into the room, you acknowledge his presence with a sort of catlike noise), he will respond with one of his own as if it’s the most normal thing in the world.

Mystery is a literal weighted blanket. If you’re laying in bed, he’ll basically be laying on top of you, and that motherfucker is heavy. So if you need a weighted blanket, that’s good for you! And like most demons, he runs hot.

If you’re having a meltdown/shutdown, he’ll quietly sit next to you and rest his head on your shoulder. He won’t talk, won’t ask questions. If you feel like running your fingers through his hair, he’ll lean into your touch with a quiet sigh of contentment.

Will quietly listen to your infodumps. When he looks like he’s listening (aka somehow staring at you through his hair), he’s probably distracted by your beauty. When he looks like he’s NOT listening, chances are that he actually IS listening.

He himself sometimes uses noisecanceling earplugs, and when he notices that you get overwhelmed by noise sometimes, he starts bringing another pair with him anywhere he goes with you. Just in case you need a pair, too. Sometimes, when you’re in public, he’ll quietly slip them into your hand- before you even realize you were starting to feel overwhelmed.

Baby:

He always brings noisecancelling earbuds with him, partially because he himself gets overwhelmed in public and grows more irritable, and partially because they act as an excuse not to deal with stupid people. When he learns that you get overwhelmed like he does, he insists on buying you a pair- and if you ever forget them at home, he’ll offer to share his own.

If you’re ever having a shutdown or meltdown, he never forces you to talk, and he’ll never ask too many questions to overwhelm you. He’ll just ask if you want to hold his hand, or if he can be close with you, and respects whatever you need. He’ll stay with you through it, and there’s no pressure to talk or give answers.

Baby’s very observant. Over time, he comes to learn about your triggers, and notices when you start to feel overstimulated- even before you yourself notice. If you’re in public, he doesn’t mention it out loud so as not to draw attention to the situation and make you self-conscious. He’ll just silently offer you his earbuds, or a lollipop, or his hand.

If you accidentally don’t notice a comment he made was sarcasm, or have a mild miscommunication with him, he’ll often laugh about it with you. But the second he notices the slightest bit of discomfort from you, he’ll wrap his arms around you and whisper an apology and reassurances.

If you use a weighted blanket because the pressure helps you sleep? He quietly starts to drape his limbs around you more at night, hoping that the quiet pressure of him wrapped around you will help you sleep easier. He’s also warm, which is a bonus.

Fully loves you for all of your ‘autistic traits’. And honestly, you kind of make him feel understood. He’s constantly infantilized by fans, and treated like a baby by the other Saja Boys since he’s the maknae, along with his ‘baby face’. But you get that, to some extent. He knows that autistic people are often infantilized by society, and is keenly aware of every change in the way someone treats you when they learn that you’re autistic. He hates it anytime someone is ableist towards you, and would gladly suck the soul of anyone who dared treat you poorly.

My cousin got into a really bad football accident late Friday night and suffered a brain injury. Thankfully, they airlifted him to a hospital where they could get him into brain surgery that probably saved his life. Things seem to be looking up for his health right now because of how fast he got treatment, but it’s still kinda a stressful time.

Jinu:

When he’s content, he literally purrs. And then he gets incredibly embarrassed about it, especially if you tease him about it, or say that you find it cute.

He WILL fall for the Red Dot trick and then be pissed off, both at himself and the Red Dot. It also may or may not lead to potential damage to whatever surface the Red Dot was illuminated on, so attempt this at your own risk.

Jinu generally doesn’t prefer fighting. He’s more likely to try and manipulate his target to get what he wants, or let someone else do the fighting instead. That doesn’t mean he isn’t dangerous when he does fight, though.

Speaking of fighting: he can and will roar, though it’s more like a tiger’s growling-roar.

Romance:

Absolute sucker for shiny and sparkly things. And I don’t mean in the way that he’ll do anything for something sparkly- I mean it in the way that if you have some sort of suncatcher that refracts the light into rainbows, he can and will watch it for hours without getting bored.

Really good at tracking and hunting down his prey. Whether that be trying to find one of the Saja Boys whom they’ve lost in Ikea because aforementioned Saja Boy decided to lay on one of the beds and scroll on his phone instead (cough cough BABY cough), or if it’s finding that store you once went to but can’t remember where it was or the name of it, he’s generally good at finding things.

Loves the feeling of you playing with his hair, and when you do, he will often start purring. Unlike Jinu, he’s not ashamed or embarrassed by this in the slightest.

Abby:

Big scratcher. You literally might need a demon-sized scratching post for this motherfucker because otherwise, he might accidentally scratch up all the furniture in the house. It’s not even a conscious habit of his; if he’s sitting on the couch and mindlessly scrolling on his phone, one of his hands that’s resting on the arm of the couch will be clawed and start scratching at the fabric. Sometimes it’s light enough that it doesn’t do any real damage. Other times? Not so lucky.

Snores really freaking loudly, which sucks because he’s also really hard to wake up once he’s asleep. Sometimes, the snoring also mixes with purring- though it’s a lot deeper than a house cat’s purr, and sounds more like what a lion purr would sound like, if lions could purr. I’m currently depressed after learning that most big cats cannot purr.

He fights best in hand-to-hand combat. I mean, he’s got a lot of muscles, and is obviously really strong- need more be explained? However, muscles aren’t everything- Abby is very impulsive and less likely to think something all the way through before taking action.

Mystery:

Aside from That One Barking Outburst from That One Scene, Mystery actually doesn’t bark a lot. He mostly just growls in warning, if someone of something is bothering him.

Part of the reason he hides his face with his hair is because his human form has some imperfections. Normally, his eyes are gold, like most demons. But his human form’s eyes keep changing from purple to gold- which, while that sounds really pretty, sort of reveals what he is. Though either way, it doesn’t matter, because he really does just prefer to hide his face with his hair.

Mystery is a lot less likely to charge straight into battle, especially if he’s at a disadvantage. But when he does fight, a lot of it is more instinctive and impulsive, sort of like Abby’s fighting style. He’s not quite as strong as him, but he’s a bit more nimble, and uses his claws more than strength.

He’s a big sucker for chin scratches.

Baby:

When he’s really happy, his pupils dilate. So sometimes, when you compliment him and he brushes it off, you can see just how much it actually affects him. Which is partially why he avoids your eyes when that happens.

Has ‘The Cat Urge To Bite Things’. Does this mean that as his partner, you’re his designated target? Generally.

Most of the time, his preferred fighting tactic involves tricking his prey, trapping it, and then toying with it- sort of like a cat-and-mouse situation. He’s very calculating, and unlikely to get into a fight unless he’s confident he can have control over the situation. That makes him a pretty difficult target.

If he feels threatened, or he’s just pissed off, he’s likely to hiss like a cat, because I said so.

Generally, demons are solitary- but they crave companionship. Not necessarily romantic companionship; familial and platonic companionship means just as much and can be just as fulfilling. But it’s rare for a demon to find a lifelong partner they wholeheartedly trust, partially due to Gwi-ma and the shame that binds them to him. It can cause them to form trust issues.

That being said, some demons form sort of alliances, or packs, with each other, with typically about five members. I’m not saying that just because of how many Saja Boys there are- in the beginning of the movie, there are five demons on the airplane, ready to attack. While many demons who form these packs with each other don’t necessarily form emotional bonds, they tend to learn each others fighting patterns, growing accustomed to battle together.

Over time, a demon that was once human might start to lose who they once were, and their sense of identity, to their shame. As that happens, defining features will be lost, until the demon is one of many mindless slaves of Gwi-ma. Remember the faceless, featureless demons that we first see attacking the train, then attacking Huntrix during What It Sounds Like? They were once individuals, demons who could think for themselves and had noticeable traits to distinguish themselves from another demon. Now they’re condemned as Gwi-ma’s mindless army.

Many of the more monstrous demons we see in the movie were evil people who never traded their souls to Gwi-ma. They were just terrible people in life, and were reborn as demons, often with no real memories of their past. The worse a person was in life, the less human they look. In example: the more monstrous demons we see on the airplane, in comparison to Mystery. The airplane demons (that’s a lovely title) barely seem to understand how to act like humans, and their demon forms have teeth that take up their whole mouths, or one big eye instead of two, etc. Meanwhile, Mystery has tusks, but he looks mostly human otherwise- not to mention, he and the rest of the Saja Boys wear the traditional robes of the Jeosung Saja.

Even the ones who are humanoid, or USED to be human, aren’t exactly human anymore. Meaning, they’ve got some more animalistic instincts and traits now. Their eyes are sort of like cats, and reflect light. They’ve got claws, of course. Some of the demons have more of a cat personality, and are more likely to hiss at danger. Meanwhile some (cough cough Mystery cough) are more likely to bark in response to a threat. It really just depends on the demon’s personality.

All demons have fangs of some sort. It might be like most of the Saja Boys, where they’re small and sort of like vampire fangs. They might be like Mystery’s tusks. Some demons only have fangs in their mouth, where all of their teeth are sharp, with varying lengths depending on the demon.

Most demons have enhanced senses- specifically surrounding battle instincts and hearing. There are varying different talents when it comes to battle. Some demons might be really good at hunting, while others might be better in hand-to-hand combat. Some might be bad at both, and they don’t exactly tend to make it long before they’re not considered ‘useful’ to Gwi-ma anymore.

Jinu

Quality time:

Quality time with Jinu generally looks like going on unofficial dates. Going out for walks during twilight hours, wandering around the city to find good ramyeon places to eat, etc.

He loves having long, vulnerable talks with you. He often puts up a more confident and flirtatious front, but with you, he can let that mask fade away. Words of affirmation:

While a lot of what he says might be more teasing and lighthearted, one of the most meaningful forms of affection for him are genuine compliments and words of affirmation, laced with vulnerability instead of flirtation.

Jinu has a lot of quiet insecurities, mostly surrounding whether he’s deserving of you and a happy ending. He still blames himself for the things he’s done in his past, and words affirming his worthiness of love go a long way for him. Gifts:

Jinu isn’t the biggest on gift-giving just for the sake of giving gifts- giving you something without it meaning much feels empty to him. The gifts he gives might be small, but they have a lot of heart, and are often handmade.

That being said, he doesn’t hold the same gift-giving standards when it comes to you gifting him something. Small things with meaning are often his favorites, but he honestly loves most everything you gift him. Acts of service:

Surprisingly, Jinu’s actually a pretty good cook. It’s not his favorite thing to do, but it’s definitely a hobby that he enjoys. So he’ll often make meals for the two of you, especially if he notices you’re tired, or had a hard day.

With Jinu, even the small things mean a lot to him. If you clean up after dinner, or make sure he’s drinking water, or just ask about his day? Those little things mean a lot to him. Physical touch:

Not the biggest with physical affection, and he’s more likely to do or say something to show his affections. That being said, he does enjoy the occasional cuddling session, and soft kisses that carry the weight of meaning.

He’s not very comfortable with PDA. Handholding is fine, but other affections he prefers to keep in private, because they feel more special.

Romance

Quality time:

Lots of cliche dinner dates at romantic restaurants. He loves letting you talk to him over dinner- it gives him the perfect excuse to gaze at you with a dreamy look in his eyes. Always insists on paying the bill.

Yet another cliche? Watching movies with you. He especially appreciates scary movies, because it means you’re more likely to cling to him. Or vice versa, depending on the movie. Words of affirmation:

Most of his affection is shown through words. Whether it’s compliments, pet names, even poems, he loves doing all of the above to show just show much he loves you.

Speaking of pet names, he absolutely LOVES using them for you. ‘Darling’, ‘love’, all of the above. He especially loves calling you by pet names in public, and seeing how flustered it makes you. If you use pet names for him in return? It makes his heart happy. Gifts:

Romance isn’t afraid to spend a lot of money on clothes and jewelry for you and him both. If he sees a fancy necklace in a window display while he’s out? He’ll leave it by your bedside table with a little note about how he thought it’d look lovely on you <3

Basically, he loves to spoil you with gifts. Anytime you worry about not being able to give as much back, he’ll kiss you to shut you up, reaffirming that he doesn’t care about receiving expensive gifts back. Acts of service:

A lot of his efforts go into making sure you’re taking care of yourself. If you haven’t eaten anything that day, he’ll make a meal for you. Surprisingly enough, he’s actually a pretty good cook.

He loves to take care of you- so acts of service that you do for him? Nuh-uh. He wants you to feel like a literal princess while you’re with him. Though that doesn’t mean he doesn’t appreciate your thoughtfulness. Essentially? Nonnegotiable princess treatment. Physical touch:

A majority of the physical contact Romance makes with you is kissing. Not necessarily on the lips, either- it might be a soft kiss to the top of your head, or the gentle press of his lips to your knuckles. When it inevitably makes you flush, he finds it adorable.

He loves combing his fingers through your hair, and twirling it around his index finger (if it’s long enough).

Abby

Quality time:

There’s rarely a boring moment with Abby. He’s much more likely to want to go do something with the day, instead of spending it cooped up inside. Whether it’s going for a walk, or trying out a new restaurant, or (of course) going to the gym? He’ll almost always invite you to come with him.

That being said, the times he does spend a day at home with you? He’s an absolute sweetheart. In the morning, he’ll make you breakfast. He’ll ask what you want to do with the day, whether it be watching movies and curling up against him on the couch, or going outside and soaking up sunshine. Basically, princess treatment. Words of affirmation:

Despite the fact that he loves showing off his physique? He’s actually quite insecure that that’s all someone will ever love about him. So while compliments about his appearance are appreciated, compliments about his personality mean a lot to him.

Sometimes, Abby isn’t the best with words. But his compliments are always genuine, and when he tells you he loves you? You can see in his eyes how much he truly means it. Gifts:

Abby feels kind of awkward when giving gifts. He’s not the best at giving or receiving gifts, so when he does get you something, there’s a lot of thought behind it. Or at the very least, it’s a well-meaning gesture to try and show he cares.

When receiving a gift, he’ll incorporate it into his daily life what he can. It’s his way of showing how grateful he is for whatever you got him. Acts of service:

Abby’s actually really good at cooking, and enjoys it. He often makes dinner for the two of you, and if he’s trying a new recipe, he’ll ask your opinions on how it tastes.

If you’ve had a tiring day and need to recharge, he’ll pick you up and lovingly force you to take a nap with him. Which would be a lot easier if he didn’t snore so loudly. Physical touch:

Despite being very touchy with most people, he actually can get very flustered when it’s initiated by you instead of himself.

Absolutely loves PDA, specifically hugs and cuddles and anything of that sort. He really loves physical contact- which is great during cooler weather, because he’s almost always warm.

He’s also a true gentleman- when first getting to know you, he asked how comfortable you are with hugs and physical contact, so as not to cross any boundaries. For someone who’s whole idol persona is being attractive and fit, he’s very sweet in personality.

Mystery

Quality time:

A lot of the time spent with Mystery involves doing something that doesn’t require much talking on his part. Whether it’s watching a movie together, or you reading a book with him, or just letting you talk.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that he’s always quiet. Soft conversations with you mean a lot to him, wether it’s talking about something important and vulnerable, or just something random and nonsensical. When he does talk, it means a lot to him when you listen. Words of affirmation:

Verbal affirmation means a lot to him. He himself is very quiet most of the time, but silently loves all terms of endearment and praise. Is the praise thing a kink? Probably- interpret that as you will.

Loves listening to you talk. Whether he’s paying attention or just listening to the sound of your voice as you ramble about your day, your voice is his favorite sound. Gifts:

Mystery is the type of person to buy something that reminds him of you, and then silently worry you won’t like it. When you do, he kisses you to show he’s happy that he made you smile.

If you give him a gift? Chances are that if someone else even touches it, he’ll feel annoyed. That’s his gift from you- other people will just have to get their own. Acts of service:

Mystery is pretty much the definition of “show, don’t tell”. While he might not say much to show he cares, it’s all the little things he does to make your day brighter that show his love.

Haven’t drunk enough water recently? He’ll hold out a water bottle and silently wait until you take it. Had a bad day? He’ll put a blanket over you while you’re laying on the couch while snuggling up to you. If you’re tired, he might attempt to make you food. It generally doesn’t go very well. Physical touch:

When he wants attention, Mystery has a tendency to sneak up behind you and wrap his arms around your waist, using the top of your head as a chin rest. He’ll especially do this when he feels jealous of you talking to someone else.

Actually loves when you play with his hair. He doesn’t like that much in public, since he doesn’t particularly like showing his face, but when you’re alone? He trusts you wholeheartedly with that.

Baby

Quality time:

Quality time with Baby sometimes looks like cozy dates where you actually socialize with each other, but more often than not? It’s both of you sitting together on the couch or laying in bed, both doing your own separate thing. If you’re reading a book or scrolling on your phone, sometimes he’ll pause what he’s doing and watch over your shoulder.

With Baby, there’s not really any high expectations or pressure. Dates tend to be spending time together at home, instead of going out. Not because he’s lazy, but because both of you are just more comfortable like this. Words of affirmation:

He absolutely loves reaffirming his love for you. If he ever finds out you have an insecurity? He will fight it with all the kisses and compliments in the world, and spend the rest of the night cuddling you and holding you close so you know you’re loved.

Baby doesn’t really get flustered over words of affirmation from you- not that they’re not appreciated, or that they don’t make him fall even deeper for you with every ‘I love you’. The quickest way to his heart with words, though? Calling him basically anything but ‘cute’. He gets enough of that from his fans, and he’s tired of being infantilized. Gifts:

Baby isn’t much of a gift-giver. He doesn’t mind spending money on you in the slightest, but generally doesn’t buy you expensive things, unless he knows it’s something you want.

Most of his gifts are small but thoughtful- as in, if you’re overwhelmed in public, he’ll silently slip you a lollipop, giving your hand a soft squeeze of reassurance. Acts of service:

Most of his ‘acts of service’ involve him making sure you’re actually taking care of yourself. Going to bed too late? He will lovingly force you into bed and hug you from behind, whispering soft words in your ear until you fall asleep. Having a bad day? If you need space, he’ll give it to you; if you need physical contact to recharge your batteries, you’re more than welcome to curl up close to him.

He can cook pretty decently, but is much more likely to order takeout for the two of you. That being said, if you make him yummy food? He’ll love you for life. Physical touch:

Loves physical touch, but only on his terms. If someone touches him without asking beforehand, he may or may not hiss like a cat in protest. But when it comes to you? He might tense slightly for a moment, before leaning into your touch.
