HYUCKIE

Jeno

Snow biome because he just is. Blond!Jeno gives me ice vibes and he’d be thriving in an igloo he found in the middle of no where, especially when he sees a bear. Also will eventually take over a small snow village before realising that you can’t grow crops because the water keeps freezing so I guess it’s time to kill some moo moos. His small igloo will also have an underground bit, where there’s a potion place if that makes sense, the boy likes to make various potions okay?

Hyuck

Savana desert biome because there would be cool entrances to mineshafts and abandoned minecarts. Just imagine all the loot, he’d be thriving. Will most likely almost die because of a cave spider but eventually kills the damn thing and genuinely isn’t afraid of any of the mobs. He will look an Enderman in the eye for shits and giggles, okay? 

Jaemin

You’re cuddled up Renjun’s bed, the covers up to your neck with your earphones plugged into your phone as you repeat the phrase whilst listening to the person speak. Renjun is still in the bathroom, brushing his teeth or washing his face and you know he’ll take five minutes at least. 

In the meantime, you close your eyes and focus on the video, mumbling the Chinese phrase to yourself. You seem to have lost track of time, or are just so focused on memorising the words, you don’t notice Renjun walking into the room. 

He’s changed into his pyjamas and is exhausted as he walks over to the bed, only to realise that you’re mumbling an incoherent phrase. Concerned he kneels down to check if you are awake and okay, before realising that you were speaking Chinese. Renjun chuckles before noticing your phone screen, and he’s in awe. You were attempting got learn such a romantic phrase on your own?

Renjun shakes you gently by the shoulder, grabbing your attention and you take out your earphones before saying the phrase you were just learning. You both just look each at other for a moment before you laugh in embarrassment, realising that Renjun had heard you and he ruffles your hair before getting in bed.

“You can always ask me if you want to learn Chinese phrases. I’ll teach you.”

Jeno 

The two of you are playing table tennis just to pass time and saying random phrases as you hit the ball. 

“I think I might get a Sprite.” Jeno speaks, hitting the ball and you leap to hit it back.

“Well, I’ll get a Cola because it’s the best.”

“But Sprite is the best. I love Sprite.” Jeno argues in a light hearted tone, saying the last sentence in Korean and hitting it once again. 

“And I love you.” You don’t know where exactly that came from, mostly likely a K drama but it falls from your lips in the language and leaves Jeno speechless. The phrase hits him so unexpectedly and he misses the ball, allowing you to win the round. 

You throw up your hands in victory and smile at the boy across the tennis table. “I win! I win!” 

Jeno’s eye smile appears and he returns the endearing phrase. “I love you too.” 

Needless to say, you got a free Cola that night after another round.

Hyuck

The two of you are playing a video game and honestly, you’ve been reciting the phrase in Korean all morning, just waiting for the right time to say. So, when the two of you win the final round and you lean your head against his shoulder, you decide that this is possibly the right time. The syllables fall from your lips in a  rather fast manner because frankly after repeating it over a thousand times in your head, you’re worried you might mispronounce the meaningful phrase. 

It takes Hyuck a moment to realise what you’ve said, his instant reaction being a ‘huh’ since you’d usually speak the words in English slowly and carefully for him to fully understand but the language barrier didn’t cause too much of an issue. Most days. Hyuck looks down at you and you quickly cover up your face with your hands when you begin to feel shy under his gaze. 

“What did you say?” Even though Haechan’s asked you in English (Johnny had taught the boy some phrases and questions in between busy schedules and truthfully, you’re heart melted every time he made an effort to speak the language you were familiar with), you reply in Korean.

Haechan understands you the second time, even if your voice is muffled by his grey sweater you are wearing and he drops the controller, tackling you in a hug. He mentions how cute you are as he squeezes you and the two of you turn into a giggling mess.

Jaemin 

The two of you are continuing a K drama you had started before Jaemin’s next comeback and it’s an activity that didn’t require much energy so your boyfriend was more than happy to join you. 

He’s curled up in a thick blanket when you stroll into his room with a bag of chips and soda cans. It’s not healthy, you know that but if it makes you boyfriend you are more than happy to break the rules that his managers have set. They were absurd anyways, he was still young and gaining weight wasn’t going to make him less talented in any way.

“Thank you.” His voice is soft when he speaks English but you find it rather fascinating when he speaks his mother tongue. You swear you could listen to him ramble on about anything and you would never admit to watching compilations of your own boyfriend made by his fans. 

“Your welcome.” You reply in an equally soft manner as you make yourself comfortable next to him.

“I love you.” Jaemin says (in Korean) as he leans his head against your shoulder and you have this habit of repeating back phrases you hear the members say because you hope to properly learn it one day. It’s no surprise that Jaemin usually says sweet compliments to you which you repeat right back however, this is the first time you are saying the phrase is Korean without even realising. Jaemin’s heard you say ‘I love you’ in English countless times, you loved him a lot and reminded him on a daily basis.
