ISABELLA

PARK JONGSEONG

The thing about Jay is that he possesses this intense borderline terrifying level of dedication to things that don’t actually matter, which is exactly how you found yourself trapped in the kitchen at three in the morning watching him meticulously measure out ingredients for a pancake recipe he swore he’d perfected in his sleep. You were supposed to be having a serious conversation about your upcoming wedding seating arrangement—a topic that had already caused three minor arguments earlier that evening—but he completely derailed the tension by declaring that he couldn't think on an empty stomach. Now, he’s standing there in his oversized gray sweats, treating a simple breakfast batter like it’s a Michelin-star final exam, completely ignoring the stack of unfinished invitations on the counter. Every time you try to bring up your cousin's dietary restrictions, he just slides a freshly cooked, perfectly golden pancake onto your plate and commands you to eat, acting as though a carbohydrate overload is the universal fix for pre-marital stress. It’s infuriating how easily he deflects the heavy stuff with domestic stubbornness, but watching the rigid tension slowly drain from his shoulders as you take a bite makes you realize he’s just trying to take care of you the only way he knows how.

SIM JAEYUN

It’s genuinely hilarious how Jake can handle an audience of thousands without breaking a sweat, yet the moment you mention a minor detail about the wedding registry, he turns into a ball of frantic energy that is almost impossible to contain. You were just sitting on the living room rug, minding your own business and scrolling through dinnerware sets, when he suddenly dropped down next to you and started aggressively debating the merits of bone china versus stoneware. He’s so deeply invested in the most mundane aspects of your shared future that it almost feels like he’s trying to manifest the actual wedding day through sheer willpower alone, leaning over your shoulder so close that his damp hair drips onto your screen. When you laugh and tell him to calm down because it’s just plates, he gets this incredibly serious, wide-eyed look on his face and insists that "every single meal we eat for the next fifty years" matters, which instantly melts whatever annoyance you had. He has this knack for making even the most boring adult responsibilities feel like a thrilling adventure that you can't help but want to jump into headfirst.

PARK SUNGHOON

Sunghoon has this maddening habit of retreating into a shell of icy silence whenever he’s overwhelmed, which usually leaves you guessing whether he’s actually upset or just completely drained from his schedule. Tonight was supposed to be your first proper date night in over a month, but instead of the lively dinner you’d envisioned, you’re stuck sitting across from him in a quiet corner booth while he picks at his food with a look of total detachment. Just when you’re about to call it a night and assume he’d rather be anywhere else, he reaches across the table under the cover of the long tablecloth, his fingers catching yours and squeezing them so tightly it almost hurts. It’s such a sharp contrast to his cold expression that it catches you entirely off guard, making you realize that his silence isn't a withdrawal from you, but rather his way of anchoring himself when everything else is moving too fast. He won’t say a word about the pressure he’s under, and he’ll probably act like this lingering touch never happened once you leave the restaurant, but that single gesture tells you everything you actually need to know about where you stand with him.

KIM SUNOO

There’s a specific brand of dramatic flair that Sunoo brings to your engagement that you’re convinced no one else on earth could replicate, especially on mornings when he decides he requires an absurd amount of attention. You were trying to get through a remote work call on the couch, explicitly telling him beforehand that you needed just twenty minutes of uninterrupted silence, but that apparently translated in his mind to "please test my acting skills." He spent the entire duration of your meeting pacing silently in front of the coffee table, sighing heavily at regular intervals. The moment you hang up, he practically collapses onto your lap with a theatrical groan, complaining that your neglect has physically weakened him and demanding that you take him out for iced coffee to make up for it. It’s impossible to keep a straight face around him when he’s being this unashamedly needy, and even though you should probably scold him for ruining your focus, you just end up burying your face in his hair, completely defeated by how effortlessly he twists you around his finger.

YANG JUNGWON

Jungwon treats his role as your fiancé with the kind of responsible analytical precision that makes you forget he’s actually younger than you sometimes, which can be both incredibly endearing and mildly suffocating. You had a minor cold over the weekend, nothing serious enough to warrant medical attention, but he somehow caught wind of it and turned your apartment into a makeshift recovery ward before you could even protest. He’s got this little notebook where he’s literally logging the times he gives you vitamin C and checking your temperature with a thermometer every two hours, moving around the bedroom with this focused efficiency that leaves no room for argument. When you try to sit up and tell him that you’re perfectly fine to go make your own tea, he just presses a firm hand against your shoulder, gives you that look that usually commands an entire management team, and orders you back under the covers without a single trace of hesitation. You want to roll your eyes at how overly bossy he’s being over a simple sniffle, but the anxious twitch in his jaw tells you he’s just terrified of seeing you unwell, making you sink back into the pillows and let him play the protector.

NISHIMURA RIKI

Trying to get a straight answer out of Ni-ki regarding anything related to wedding planning is like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands, mostly because he expresses affection through a constant barrage of teasing and deflection. You were trying to get him to look at suit options on your laptop, but he kept sliding his phone over your screen to show you ridiculous memes he found funny, completely derailing the task at hand. Just as you’re about to close the laptop in frustration and tell him to handle it himself if he doesn’t care, he suddenly snatches your wrist, pulling you off the chair and directly into his chest with a sudden, surprising display of strength that reminds you he isn’t a kid anymore. He doesn't say anything sweet or reassuring to fix your mood; instead, he just wraps his long arms around your waist from behind, resting his chin heavily on your head and swaying you side to side in a slow rhythm until your frustration evaporates. He has this way of bringing everything back down to earth when you start panicking about the future, reminding you without words that beneath all the childish deflections, he’s entirely locked into you.

He won’t say a word about the pressure he’s under, and he’ll probably act like this lingering touch never happened once you leave the restaurant, but that single gesture tells you everything you actually need to know about where you stand with him.

KIM SUNOO

There’s a specific brand of dramatic flair that Sunoo brings to your engagement that you’re convinced no one else on earth could replicate, especially on mornings when he decides he requires an absurd amount of attention. You were trying to get through a remote work call on the couch, explicitly telling him beforehand that you needed just twenty minutes of uninterrupted silence, but that apparently translated in his mind to "please test my acting skills." He spent the entire duration of your meeting pacing silently in front of the coffee table, sighing heavily at regular intervals. The moment you hang up, he practically collapses onto your lap with a theatrical groan, complaining that your neglect has physically weakened him and demanding that you take him out for iced coffee to make up for it. It’s impossible to keep a straight face around him when he’s being this unashamedly needy, and even though you should probably scold him for ruining your focus, you just end up burying your face in his hair, completely defeated by how effortlessly he twists you around his finger.

YANG JUNGWON

Jungwon treats his role as your fiancé with the kind of responsible analytical precision that makes you forget he’s actually younger than you sometimes, which can be both incredibly endearing and mildly suffocating. You had a minor cold over the weekend, nothing serious enough to warrant medical attention, but he somehow caught wind of it and turned your apartment into a makeshift recovery ward before you could even protest. He’s got this little notebook where he’s literally logging the times he gives you vitamin C and checking your temperature with a thermometer every two hours, moving around the bedroom with this focused efficiency that leaves no room for argument. When you try to sit up and tell him that you’re perfectly fine to go make your own tea, he just presses a firm hand against your shoulder, gives you that look that usually commands an entire management team, and orders you back under the covers without a single trace of hesitation. You want to roll your eyes at how overly bossy he’s being over a simple sniffle, but the anxious twitch in his jaw tells you he’s just terrified of seeing you unwell, making you sink back into the pillows and let him play the protector.

NISHIMURA RIKI

Trying to get a straight answer out of Ni-ki regarding anything related to wedding planning is like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands, mostly because he expresses affection through a constant barrage of teasing and deflection. You were trying to get him to look at suit options on your laptop, but he kept sliding his phone over your screen to show you ridiculous memes he found funny, completely derailing the task at hand. Just as you’re about to close the laptop in frustration and tell him to handle it himself if he doesn’t care, he suddenly snatches your wrist, pulling you off the chair and directly into his chest with a sudden, surprising display of strength that reminds you he isn’t a kid anymore. He doesn't say anything sweet or reassuring to fix your mood; instead, he just wraps his long arms around your waist from behind, resting his chin heavily on your head and swaying you side to side in a slow rhythm until your frustration evaporates. He has this way of bringing everything back down to earth when you start panicking about the future, reminding you without words that beneath all the childish deflections, he’s entirely locked into you.

PARK JONGSEONG

The thing about Jay is that he possesses this intense borderline terrifying level of dedication to things that don’t actually matter, which is exactly how you found yourself trapped in the kitchen at three in the morning watching him meticulously measure out ingredients for a pancake recipe he swore he’d perfected in his sleep. You were supposed to be having a serious conversation about your upcoming wedding seating arrangement—a topic that had already caused three minor arguments earlier that evening—but he completely derailed the tension by declaring that he couldn't think on an empty stomach. Now, he’s standing there in his oversized gray sweats, treating a simple breakfast batter like it’s a Michelin-star final exam, completely ignoring the stack of unfinished invitations on the counter. Every time you try to bring up your cousin's dietary restrictions, he just slides a freshly cooked, perfectly golden pancake onto your plate and commands you to eat, acting as though a carbohydrate overload is the universal fix for pre-marital stress. It’s infuriating how easily he deflects the heavy stuff with domestic stubbornness, but watching the rigid tension slowly drain from his shoulders as you take a bite makes you realize he’s just trying to take care of you the only way he knows how.

SIM JAEYUN

It’s genuinely hilarious how Jake can handle an audience of thousands without breaking a sweat, yet the moment you mention a minor detail about the wedding registry, he turns into a ball of frantic energy that is almost impossible to contain. You were just sitting on the living room rug, minding your own business and scrolling through dinnerware sets, when he suddenly dropped down next to you and started aggressively debating the merits of bone china versus stoneware. He’s so deeply invested in the most mundane aspects of your shared future that it almost feels like he’s trying to manifest the actual wedding day through sheer willpower alone, leaning over your shoulder so close that his damp hair drips onto your screen. When you laugh and tell him to calm down because it’s just plates, he gets this incredibly serious, wide-eyed look on his face and insists that "every single meal we eat for the next fifty years" matters, which instantly melts whatever annoyance you had. He has this knack for making even the most boring adult responsibilities feel like a thrilling adventure that you can't help but want to jump into headfirst.

PARK SUNGHOON

Sunghoon has this maddening habit of retreating into a shell of icy silence whenever he’s overwhelmed, which usually leaves you guessing whether he’s actually upset or just completely drained from his schedule. Tonight was supposed to be your first proper date night in over a month, but instead of the lively dinner you’d envisioned, you’re stuck sitting across from him in a quiet corner booth while he picks at his food with a look of total detachment. Just when you’re about to call it a night and assume he’d rather be anywhere else, he reaches across the table under the cover of the long tablecloth, his fingers catching yours and squeezing them so tightly it almost hurts.
