sung hanbin + domestic grocery shopping.

anything related to this man is always domestic to me. he's just so husband material

and i can imagine him bringing you out for grocery shopping

your runs to the grocery shops with him will vary. usually it would be the planned runs during sunday mornings where there's a proper list of what's missing or what needs to be restocked in your shared apartment

hanbin would be in charge of the list, trust that this man would be up at the crack ass of dawn to rummage through your kitchen and jot down what needs to be bought.

will Always double check for anything missing before paying

one time he forgot to put something in the cart but still made you queue up to pay while he sprints to get what he was missing

you have your own money, sure, but hanbin would rather go bald than make you pay for everything. so you just stood there nervously while waiting for him to come back so he can pay

yk that thing moms do where they just leave you alone at the counter while they go take smtg they forgot? same situation. hanbin never beating the mother allegations

sometimes, he would drag you out with him in your pyjamas to the nearest convenience store to get some milk or something and you can't help but rethink your life decisions when you're pushing the cart behind hanbin with half of your consciousness still in bed

"get up we ran out of milk."

"....? hanbin it's 2am."

"yeah and we ran out of milk. how will i make your latte later in the morning without milk?"

he's lucky you're utterly in love with him because there is no way in hell you'd get up from bed just to go out and buy milk for any other person

and hanbin knows he's lucky to have you <3

zhang hao + plushie hunting.

my babygirl my everything my wife my husband my bf

i'm so normal about him actually (im not)

okay back to business!!!! zhang hao strikes me as someone to bring out his lover to the mall without any specific plans, just going out for the sake of spending time with each other

he thinks it's a lot more fun that way. without being tied to any plans, he can try Everything with you.

wanna go get an overpriced yet mediocre tasting drink? he'll pay! oh, you wanna stop at the phone shop to look for a new casing? he thinks this one is cute! what's that? you wanna play at the arcade? he'll beat your ass at every game!!!

the two of you will be that one cheesy pda couple with matching clothes, always holding each other's hands while taking your sweet time walking around the mall

even without specific plans, there's always one thing that stays the same whenever you go out with zhang hao.

you're always bringing back a plushie one way or another

it's just!!! sometimes you think it's some kind of tradition.

the first time it happened, zhang hao won a little red panda plushie for you at the claw machine during your first date and its been living rent free on your bed ever since then. (if you recognize where i got this from then you deserve a cookie)

during your second date, which happened to be on your birthday, zhang hao gifted you a gigantic teddy bear that's almost as big as you.

it kept happening during every date, where hao would either give you a plushie or you'd end up buying one for yourself. either way, you're Always coming back with an adorable stuffed toy

since it happens so often, you think you have nearly every plushie that's being sold within the shops inside the mall. when you mention this to your boyfriend, he's suddenly making it today's mission to find a plushie that you Don't have so he can buy it for you

"bao bei, look at this one!! it's so cute."

"i have that one, hao hao. you gave it to me during our anniversary."

"aw.. then, what about this one? it's cute too!!"

"i bought that already, since it reminded me of you."

and it's a plushie of a raccoon dressed in suit and tie. you think it looks like zhang hao during his first formal violin performance.

the two of you spend the whole entire day walking around the mall and visiting every shop that has plushies. you manage to find a few that you haven't owned yet, and zhang hao has the bright idea to buy another one for himself.

"so i can have more stuff in my room that reminds me of you. i can cuddle them when i miss you, too."

you swear you were about to burst into tears in the middle of daiso

at the end of the day, you're both carrying big bags filled with plushies <3 he comes over to your place to help you organize your plushie collection, and even helps you give names to the ones you had just bought.

sometimes he goes over the top and gives them full in depth lore

you don't understand why your miffy plushie is suddenly the reason global warming is worsening, but seeing zhang hao giggle to himself as he talks about your plushies is immensely endearing.

kim taerae + music/record shops.

we all know this man takes his music interests very seriously

since you're his lover, you're obligated to share his interests as well, if you don't already. it's not that hard tbh, if anything it's weirdly easy to get into music as much as taerae is.

he speaks of it so highly and so lovingly, it's a natural occurring event to fall in love with him all over again as you watch him play his guitar while he serenades you.

every now and then, taerae would bring you out to his favorite record shop. he's an old soul, deciding to bask in the nostalgic melodies of older blues instead of the newer music. it's one of the things that you've always loved about him

he would guide you over all of his favorites, picking out certain records to tell you which song within the setlist reminds him of you. he lets you choose which record for him to bring home, even when he wants to buy another one - but taerae enjoys being reminded of you every time he lets the record you picked sing into the comfort of his house.

"this is the song i sang for you during our first anniversary, remember?"

you smile at him, partially because you're a little shy over his words, but it's mostly because you think it's funny for him to assume that you Don't remember. you think you have the image of him singing to you under the moonlight burned into your brain at this point.

on other days, taerae would bring you to a music shop complete with multiple instruments. he initially came to look for a new guitar pick, or maybe even a new bag since his is starting to fade in color, but he ends up asking to play one of the pretty acoustic guitars on display.

you watch silently as he strums the guitar, striking up a conversation with the shop owner about techniques and whatnot, and the shine in his eyes as he talks about it all melts your heart.

he'd gesture for you to come over, dimple popping on his cheek, letting you sit down on his previous seat as he gets up before placing the guitar into your hands.

"try it out, love. put your fingers here, and your other hand goes here..."

taerae is always so patient with you, showing you how to strum a proper chord and he'd be so happy when you manage to do it :((

"there you go!! i knew you could do it."

the shop owner is looking at the two of you with a gentle smile, he thinks the two of you are just so adorable (he's so right actually)

taerae would ask you if you like the guitar you just played, and when you say yes, he doesn't hesitate to buy it even when he already has one at home.

"think of it as a gift from me to you. i'll teach you more when we get home."

he ends up teaching you the song he played for your first anniversary, since it's your self-proclaimed couple song

i love him sm (muffled screaming)

seok matthew + looking for baking ingredients.

being matthew's significant other means there's never a dull moment when you're together, and you wouldn't have it any other way

you two were hanging out at your place, limbs tangled underneath warm blankets as he cuddles you to his chest while you watch some show on tv

all of the sudden, your stomach starts growling.

matthew asks what do you want after you told him you're hungry, and you end up saying that you're craving for pancakes

your boyfriend isn't the kind of person that needs to be told something twice, so he sprang to action to bring you out to the nearest mart to gather the necessary ingredients to make pancakes together

he's a firm believer that love makes everything better, and baking pancakes together instead of just buying some at a cafe is a much more appealing idea to him.

he had always wanted to bake something with you anyway, so he sees this as a win-win situation

so there you two are, stuck in the ingredients isle as you try to figure out how the hell you're supposed to make pancakes out of scratch.

when you ask matthew if he just wants to buy the instant mix, he decides against it. says it's not as fun nor romantic to make instant pancakes

"do we need eggs?"

"of course we need eggs, matts."

"okay, what about milk? does the kind matter? should i get low fat or full cream? or like... almond milk?"

you two end up buying so much more than necessary, but hey, it's better to be safe than sorry.

the pancakes ended up amazing though, even when you're both covered in flour from messing around with each other.

matthew has made his fair share of cooking and baking before, but with you? he thinks everything immediately tastes better with you around.

shen ricky + clothes/jewelry shopping.

we all saw this coming

quick everyone act surprised

i think it's a silent rule that everyone knows ricky is the type to spoil his lover so much with gifts and other expensive things

i mean it's mr young and rich amirite.... but i like to think that ricky just loves to see the sparkle in your eyes whenever you see something that you like, and he'll be more than happy to see you smile at him when he lets you buy it (with his card ofc)

bro is the epitome of gift giving and quality time bc you're going to have to pry the idea of ricky constantly bringing you out with the promise to go shopping but he actually just wants to be with you out of my cold dead HANDS

𝓻𝓲𝓬𝓴𝔂 to everyone else but lovelicky to you. i will die on this hill

will hold your hand and swing them a little as he brings you around the mall, letting you choose when and where to stop. it's like he's your portable bank (ofc he's more than that to you but ykwim)

you love ricky, it's obvious, but you think he's not very helpful when it comes to choosing a piece of clothing to buy.

you've tried out a few and you've shown ricky all of them, hoping for an input from him on which one suits you the best, but he just... doesn't really give anything.

because he always just compliments you in EVERYTHING. i mean!!! you think it's super cute and all and it makes your heart do flips but you can't choose if ricky says you look great in absolutely anything.

"what about this one?"

"you look so good in that, darling. the color suits you so well."

"okay... this one?"

"gosh, you're killing me. you look amazing, the silk truly brings out your shape so nicely."

"ricky, you're really not helping."

who are you to blame him? ricky thinks you're the most beautiful person ever, he can't choose which one is the best either :((

so you end up buying everything. it doesn't make the smallest dent in his wallet anyway

if we're talking jewelry, he will 100% buy matching sets. earrings? matching. bracelets? matching. necklaces? matching chain and the pendants are each other's birthstones.

he already bought matching promise rings during your first anniversary, ones that neither of you ever take off. you did once, but only because you didn't want it to get dirty and you were going to put it back on in a bit, and ricky already had tears in his eyes when he confronted you about it.

extra thought. since his mother has a clothing brand, trust that she will send you and ricky clothes sometimes to try them out before they're launched <3 if you both think they're great, mama shen will have them in every outlet in no time. might even ask ricky to bring you over to china one day so you can help design some of the clothes or model for a collection, whatever you'd like! she's already looking forward to naming her grandchildren. i don't make the rules.

kim gyuvin + pet stores.

other than his family, friends and you, everyone knows that the other thing that kim gyuvin loves with his whole heart is his dog

you think you've seen eumppappa more times than you've seen his siblings

sometimes you feel threatened by the dog. and she's a Dog.

but you can't exactly refuse gyuvin's offer to have you accompany him to different pet shops around the city to find the specific brand of dog food that eumppappa likes

"the shop i always go to ran out, and i need to find another shop that sells it."

"why don't you buy another brand?"

"eumppappa doesn't like other brands!!! she says it doesn't taste as good."

apprently, your boyfriend speaks dog. another reason to love him, you guess

you'd usually run out of social battery fairly quick, especially since you're travelling on foot around seoul in search for pet shops

but gyuvin, cheery and bubbly as always, always manages to keep you at full energy. especially when he excitedly tugs on your sleeve whenever he spots a pet shop by the end of the streets, dragging you along with him to bring you over

some people would think gyuvin's energy is hard to keep up with, but you think the exact opposite. his laughs and smiles always keep you on your feet, and you can practically feel his energy leaking out and seep into you as you listen to him babble about his week while you walk along the isles of the pet shop

he'd never finish his stories though, he'd always get distracted by the animals on display

"and ricky was like i'm just naturally good looking, and then gunwook was like that doesn't explain why you have to keep rizzing up the cameras- babe look!!!!! it's you!!!!!"

and you look over and it's a baby bunny in the cage

"gyub that's a bunny."

"exactly, it's you! so cute and fluffy."

the two of you spend a good hour staring at the bunnies inside the cage, but you had to drag him away soon enough because he started talking about adopting it together.

"pleeease? i'll let you choose the name! i'll buy whatever it needs, i promise!"

"we can't afford a bunny right now, gyub. they poop a lot and i already can't handle cleaning eumppappa's shit off the floor."

"hey, i'm still trying to potty train her..."

gyuvin finally finds the brand of dog food he's been looking for all day and he almost buys the whole stock out.

once you arrive at his home, you watch him feed eumppappa with a fond smile on your face as he babytalks to her. you never thought that dog was crazy cute, but seeing gyuvin coddle her is the most adorable thing ever

his attention goes to you after eumppappa is done eating, bringing you over to the couch with him to cuddle you in his arms.

"now it's time to pay attention to my other puppy."

"i thought i was a bunny?"

"you're my everything."

"you're gross, gyub."

park gunwook + bookstores.

despite his scary looks, your gunwook is actually a big bookworm. it's a fact about him that you truly love, since it's tied to how you first met him. both of you were reaching for the same book at the school library, hands almost touching, and it ended up in him letting you borrow the book first only if you give him your number.

the first time you went to visit gunwook's house after dating for a while, you weren't surprised at the amount of books he had neatly lined up in his room.

he goes through them pretty quickly, the most he'd spend on one book being one week. since he reads fast, you have to constantly accompany him to your local bookstore to look for any new books that he hasn't read yet.

when it's just the two of you within the isle, he'd bring you to sit down on the floor with him as he tells you about the book that he's holding.

"this one is called the little prince, i read it a while ago and it's my new favorite."

he tells you about the life lessons within each story, the symbolism of each character and the arcs they go through, and you're inevitably falling in love all over again.

you feel bad for not paying attention to whatever he's saying, but you can't help it since you're so focused on watching the edges of his lips curl into that adorable smile of his as he continues to ramble about his books.

you two would spend hours in each isle of the bookstore just talking about the books you've both read. he would listen to you attentively, smiling brightly as he watches you explain the plot of the book with a shine in his eyes that's only reserved for you.

once you both finally decide on which book to buy, you end up reading them immediately at home.

it's your favorite past time. sitting on gunwook's lap with your back pressed against his chest, feeling him breathe evenly as you both silently read the book he's holding. a gently tap on his arm by you indicates that you're done with the page, and only then does he flip it to the next one.

you think you wouldn't trade these kinds of moment with the world.

han yujin + stationary restock.

this is just so cute to me idk yujin is my child and i love him sm

let's say you two are classmates and yujin has been bugging you so much to borrow your pens, pencils, erasers, literally Everything

sometimes he doesn't even return them to you and your own pens start to decrease in number by each passing week

until you're down to your last pen. yujin still had the audacity to use his cuteness on you to ask for the pen so he can do the homework that was supposed to be done yesterday

enough was enough so you dragged him out with you right after school, still in your uniforms, to buy more stationary

let's just say you two end up spending hours in the shop, just doodling on the lil pieces of paper provided to test out the pens on display

yujin would be so giggly as he's sketching up two little cats, and he labels them with your names.

"look, i drew us. the smaller one is you."

you reciprocate by drawing another two cats as well, only this time the smaller one (that is supposedly you) is scratching the other cat's face

"this is going to be us if you keep stealing my pens after this."

needless to say yujin would just pout at you

he makes up an excuse by saying that your pens are better than his, easier to write with and the ink dries faster and whatnot... but to be truthful, he's just finding ways to talk to you more

he keeps the pens that he borrowed once they run out of ink, and he doesn't even think about throwing them away Ever

but he won't tell you, obviously!!! it's his secret

the two of you exit the shop soon enough, hands carrying plastic bags with all the stationary you both need for the rest of the year.

did you think han yujin would finally leave you alone and stop borrowing your stuff????

Fool. He Will Not Stop.

"hey, can i borrow another pen? mine ran out of ink."

"... didn't you buy them like last week?"

"... yeah, and? i ran out of ink. lemme have yours."

you sigh and give yujin your pen, fully aware that this would be the last time you'll ever see that specific pen ever again.

but seeing yujin smile brightly at you as he takes the pen from your hands, you think losing a few pens to him isn't so bad.
