bring out the color ~

Your brain completely stops working.

"Wait... we're actually going?"

Sion immediately starts smiling because he's been waiting months for this reaction.

"I remembered what you told me."

The whole day he's constantly checking on you.

"Are you having fun?"

Five minutes later:

"Really?"

Ten minutes later:

"You're not tired, right?"

At some point you realize he's watching your reactions more than the attractions themselves.

Seeing you happy is his favorite part of the trip.

Riku

The second you arrive, Riku is practically bouncing with excitement.

You finally realize why he spent weeks asking random questions about rides and Disney characters.

"You were planning this the whole time!"

He laughs because he got caught.

The two of you run around the park like excited kids.

You buy matching Mickey ears.

You scream together on roller coasters.

You take ridiculous photos.

Every time you get excited about something, Riku gets even more excited than you.

By the end of the day your cheeks hurt from laughing so much.

Yushi

When you realize he's brought you to Disneyland, your eyes immediately start watering.

Yushi gets flustered right away.

"No crying."

Meanwhile he's looking everywhere except directly at you because he's emotional too.

The entire day he's quietly staying close beside you.

Holding your hand.

Taking little photos when you're distracted.

Watching you smile at everything.

When you thank him, he just shrugs.

"It's our anniversary."

But you know he spent months planning every detail.

Jaehee

Before you even enter the park, Jaehee gives you a small gift.

Inside is a handwritten note.

"Happy first anniversary. Today, let's make your dream come true."

Instant tears.

Jaehee immediately starts laughing and pulling you into a hug.

The whole day feels like a romance movie.

He takes pictures of you in front of the castle.

Videos of you laughing on rides.

Photos of every little memory.

At night during the fireworks, you catch him staring at you instead of the sky.

When you ask why, he just smiles.

"Because you're prettier."

Ryo

Ryo spends weeks teasing you beforehand.

"You'll never guess your anniversary gift."

"It's amazing."

"No, you can't know."

Then the surprise finally happens.

The second you realize where you are, all the teasing disappears.

Ryo's smile softens immediately.

"You really wanted to come here, huh?"

You nod.

He's smiling so much now.

The rest of the day is pure chaos.

The two of you compete on rides.

Tease each other.

Laugh at terrible photos.

And every time you get excited, Ryo looks ridiculously proud of himself because he knows this is a dream you've had for years.

Sakuya

Honestly, this becomes both your dream date.

The moment you enter the park, Sakuya is already pointing at everything.

"LOOK!"

A few seconds later:

"LOOK OVER THERE!"

Another few seconds:

"WE HAVE TO GO THERE!"

You end up running around Disneyland together with matching accessories and bags full of souvenirs.

At one point you start laughing.

"Sakuya, I think you're more excited than I am."

He immediately denies it.

SMOOCH.

Sion freezes.

"..."

"..."

His ears turn bright red.

The smile that follows is so soft it almost hurts.

"You're lucky you're cute."

Five minutes later he's still smiling to himself.

Riku

You tug.

He gets pulled down.

You kiss him.

He blinks once.

Twice.

Then bursts out laughing.

"NO WAY."

He's pointing at you while laughing.

"Did you plan that?!"

The second you get embarrassed, he grabs your cheeks.

"Nah, come back here. Do it again."

Yushi

You pull the strings.

He looks confused for exactly half a second.

Then your lips meet.

His eyes widen.

The kiss ends.

He just stares.

"..."

"...You tricked me."

The corner of his mouth twitches.

He's trying so hard not to smile.

Fails immediately.

"Again."

Jaehee

You tug his hoodie.

He obediently leans down.

kiss

The poor man blue screens.

Actually stops functioning.

You can literally see the loading wheel in his eyes.

When his brain finally reconnects:

"Oh."

"...Oh."

Cue the biggest smile you've ever seen.

He's giggling now.

Actually giggling.

Ryo

You pull him down by the strings.

He knows exactly what's happening.

Too late to stop it.

kiss

"..."

The defeated smile appears immediately.

The one he gets whenever he's been outplayed.

"You've been waiting to do that, haven't you?"

You shrug.

He laughs.

Then pulls you back for another one because if you're playing games, he's winning.

Sakuya

You grab the strings.

"Come here."

"Why?"

"Just come here."

He narrows his eyes suspiciously.

But leans down anyway.

You pull.

Kiss.

The deepest gasp known to mankind.

"EH?!"

He literally jumps backward.

His face is pink.

His ears are pink.

His neck is pink.

Everything is pink.

"YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT!"

He’d notice tiny things without realizing it’s a crush at first. Like how your accessories jingle when you walk. How your sleeves always cover your hands. How your lip gloss leaves little marks on straws. And suddenly he’s buying matching keychains “as a joke” again.

You’d definitely have that best-friends-who-look-like-they-share-a-brain dynamic:

stealing each other’s food

sending each other pink things at 2 AM

arguing over which Sanrio character fits who

him acting mysterious for five seconds before giggling and ruining the aura

everyone around you two being like “…just date already.”

The crush would hit him hardest during quiet moments though. Like when you fix his hair without thinking, or tug him closer by his hoodie sleeve while talking. He’d just freeze for a second, cheeks pink, trying SO hard to act normal.

And because he’s naturally affectionate already, nobody notices anything at first except for the way he treats you slightly differently:

always saving you the last piece of bread

immediately looking for you in crowded rooms

subconsciously matching your pace

letting you get away with teasing him more than anyone else

becoming weirdly shy whenever you compliment him back

The funniest part is that he’d probably realize his feelings because someone says: “You two seriously look like twins in different fonts.”

And instead of laughing immediately, he just goes quiet like:

“…different fonts…”

because now he’s thinking about how pretty you are again 😭🌸

Riku

Riku would act like your age difference is hilarious. He’d tease you for being younger constantly but five minutes later he’s literally carrying your things and buying you snacks because “you’re still growing.”

He’s the type to casually rest his chin on your head and go:

“So tiny.”

And if you pout he laughs SO loudly 😭

But he’s actually very protective underneath the teasing. If someone talks over you or makes you uncomfortable, his whole demeanor changes immediately. Calm but firm.

He’d love hearing “oppa” from you because it feeds his ego a little 😭 especially if you say it while asking him for help.

He talks informally all the time and gets extra playful in Japanese dialect sometimes, especially when he’s comfortable and clingy. Lots of lazy “c’mere” energy.

Nicknames:

“shortcake”

“princess”

your name + “chan”

“kid” teasingly even if you’re barely younger 😭

Yushi

Yushi would be SUCH a dangerous older boyfriend because he already naturally gives off calm older guy energy.

He’d quietly take care of everything for you without announcing it. Your drink opened before you ask. Your sleeves fixed. Your bag zipped because you forgot again.

And he acts like it’s nothing.

He’d pretend not to react when you call him “oppa,” but later he’s literally replaying it in his head while smiling to himself 😭

When he gets sleepy or affectionate, he speaks more casually and softly. Sometimes slips into a more natural Tokyo accent and suddenly every sentence sounds ten times sweeter.

He’s protective in a subtle way:

standing slightly behind you in crowded places

keeping a hand near your waist while walking

watching your reactions before speaking

He notices EVERYTHING about you.

Nicknames:

“pretty”

“angel”

your name shortened into something only he calls you

“baby” in the quietest voice imaginable :(

And if you’re clingy? He acts annoyed but secretly loves it. You leaning on him automatically makes him soften.

Jaehee

Jaehee would be the sweetest older boyfriend ever 😭

The type who reminds you to bring a jacket, waits for your messages before sleeping, and praises you for tiny things like:

“You did well today.”

He’d absolutely adore when you naturally call him “oppa.” His smile gets SO bright every single time.

He talks informally with you very comfortably, especially once you’re close. If he laughs too hard his Daegu dialect starts slipping out and suddenly he sounds ridiculously boyfriend-coded.

He’d definitely baby you a little:

tying your shoelaces

opening straws for you

fixing your hair absentmindedly

holding your hand inside his hoodie pocket when it’s cold

Nicknames:

“cutie”

“my girl”

“tiny”

a cute nickname made from your name

Protective in a gentle way. He worries easily, so he’s always checking if you got home safely or if you ate enough.

Ryo

Ryo as an older boyfriend would be SO unfair because he’d balance teasing and maturity perfectly.

He’d tease you for acting cute but secretly becomes the softest person alive around you.

You calling him “oppa” would absolutely make him smile that defeated little smile he does 😭 like he tries to act unaffected but fails instantly.

He’d probably speak informally almost all the time with you because he likes feeling close and comfortable together. And when his Kyoto dialect slips out?? Game over honestly.

He’d LOVE taking care of you quietly:

carrying shopping bags without mentioning it

remembering little things you like

adjusting your seatbelt automatically

putting his hand on sharp corners so you don’t bump into them :(

Very protective but composed. The type who notices danger before you do.

Nicknames:

“baby”

“princess”

your name shortened in a cute way

“puppy” when you’re clingy 😭

He’d also definitely have moments where he looks at you and suddenly gets ridiculously soft because you’re younger and trust him so naturally.

Sakuya

Ironically Sakuya would probably act MOST excited about being called “oppa” 😭

Even if he’s only a little older, he treats it like a huge achievement.

“Say it again.”

Meanwhile he’s literally blushing.

He’d be playful and affectionate constantly. The type to hold your sleeve, lean on your shoulder, steal your snacks, then immediately baby you right after.

Since he naturally acts cute already, your relationship would feel very soft and youthful. But he does get protective when needed.

Especially emotionally protective.

If someone hurts your feelings, he gets genuinely upset for you and stays clingy all day trying to cheer you up.

His Saitama accent slips out more when he gets energetic or excited, and he talks SO informally with you once comfortable.

Nicknames:

“bun”

“baby”

“cutie”

random cute names that change daily 😭

And he’d absolutely brag internally whenever you depend on him for something because he likes feeling reliable to you :(

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Riku

Acts dramatic immediately. Falls backward onto the couch, hand over his chest like he just got rejected in a movie. “Wow. Heartbroken. I see how it is.” But five minutes later he’s already poking your cheeks and trying again because he refuses to believe you can resist him forever.

Yushi

Pretends he doesn’t care. He’d just blink slowly and go “Okay then,” in the calmest voice ever while looking away. But afterward he gets weirdly sulky without admitting it — sitting closer than usual, stealing your hoodie strings, quietly staring at your lips when you talk. If you tease him about it he denies everything immediately.

Jaehee

Laughs because he thinks you’re joking at first. When he realizes you’re seriously avoiding him, he starts smiling shyly instead and asks, “Can I at least get one later?” He’d probably try to win kisses back through acts of service — bringing you snacks, fixing little things for you, playing piano dramatically like he’s in a romance movie.

Ryo

Gasps in fake offense. “Excuse me?” Then immediately starts teasing you for it. He’d keep leaning closer on purpose just to see you panic and would absolutely smirk every single time you dodge him. But if you avoid him too long, he gets soft and clingy, hiding his face in your shoulder and mumbling, “One kiss isn’t that hard...”

Sakuya

Sakuya was sitting on a couch, slightly hunched, trying (and failing) to look calm while you stood in front of him, fixing the ribbon on his stage outfit.

“Stay still,” you mumbled, gently adjusting it. “It’s crooked.”

“I am still…” he said, though his hands were fidgeting with the hem of his sleeve.

From across the room, one of your members whispered loudly, “Look at them. Disgustingly cute.”

Another staff member added, “They’re literally the same person.”

Because you were.

Both of you—the maknaes of your groups, constantly doted on, constantly teased, always being handed snacks, jackets, water bottles, and random head pats.

And now, paired together for a special stage.

A bright, bubbly concept. Something like Candy or Chewing Gum—playful, youthful, and dangerously cute.

Which made things worse.

Because Sakuya already thought you were too cute on normal days.

Now?

It was over for him.

“Okay, we’re going live in 2 minutes!”

Your eyes widened. “Already?!”

You instinctively reached for Sakuya’s hand—and froze.

“…Is it okay?” you asked softly.

He blinked, then nodded quickly. “Y-yeah.”

Your fingers laced together naturally.

Behind you, multiple staff members silently clutched their hearts.

The stage lights hit.

The intro started.

And suddenly—everything felt easy.

You ran out first, smiling brightly, waving at the crowd. The cheers were immediate.

Then Sakuya followed, slightly shy at first—but the moment you looked at him and grinned, he relaxed.

That was all it took.

The choreography was light and playful—little jumps, spins, finger hearts, mirrored moves.

At one point, you had to lean close to him, pretending to whisper something as part of the dance.

“What if I mess up?” you whispered for real.

“You won’t,” he said instantly, almost too fast.

You giggled.

He almost forgot the next move.

Halfway through the song, there was a part where you both had to skip in a circle, hands linked.

The crowd lost it.

Phones everywhere. Screaming. People practically melting.

Because the chemistry?

It wasn’t forced.

It wasn’t exaggerated.

It was just… natural.

Two youngest members who were used to being taken care of—now taking care of each other on stage.

Near the end, there was a small freestyle moment.

You did a tiny heart over your head.

Sakuya froze for a second—

then copied you.

The crowd got even louder.

He looked at you, eyes slightly wide like did I do it right?

You nodded enthusiastically.

“Cute,” you mouthed.

He immediately looked away, ears turning red.

When the song ended, both of you stood side by side, slightly out of breath.

“Thank you!” you said brightly.

“Th-thank you!” he echoed.

You waved at the crowd—then without thinking, leaned lightly against his shoulder.

It was small.

Barely noticeable.

But the cameras caught it.

And the fans?

Absolutely gone.

Backstage, the reactions were immediate.

Your members rushed you first.

“Our baby did so well!!” “You were adorable!” “Wait—you held hands the whole time?!”

Meanwhile, Sakuya was being surrounded too.

“You smiled so much!” “Sakuya, you’re whipped.” “I’ve never seen you that confident before.”

“I wasn’t—” he tried to argue.

But then he glanced over.

You were laughing, slightly shy as your members fussed over you.

Someone handed you water.

Another fixed your hair.

You looked small, soft, completely everyone’s baby.

Just like him.

And for a second—he smiled to himself.

Because on stage…

You didn’t feel like everyone’s baby.

You felt like his partner.

Later, when things finally calmed down, you found him again.

“That was fun,” you said, rocking slightly on your heels.

“Yeah,” he nodded. “It was.”

A small pause.

Then he added quietly—

“You were really cute.”

You blinked.

“…You too.”

He immediately looked away again.

And you giggled.

From that day on, the “maknae collab stage” went viral.

Fans couldn’t stop talking about it.

Not just because it was cute—

but because it felt real.

Soft. Comfortable. Warm.

Just two youngest members, shining together.

Riku (the chill senior everyone likes)

That upperclassman who’s friends with literally everyone.

Always laughing loudly in the hallway 😭

You probably started liking him because he treated you like you weren’t “just a junior.”

Teases you A LOT:

“Why do you always freeze when I talk to you?”

Will casually throw his arm around your shoulder and you just short-circuit.

Actually notices when you’re not around.

“Where were you yesterday? Thought you were avoiding me.”

Starts walking you to class like it’s normal.

Everyone already thinks you’re a thing.

Yushi (the quiet senior that feels hard to reach)

The type you admire from afar.

Usually in the corner, earphones in, just observing.

You thought he didn’t even know you existed…

Until one day:

“You always sit near the window, right?”

YOU PANICKED.

He notices everything about you but never says much.

Gets a bit sulky if he sees you talking to other guys 😭

Subtle jealousy:

suddenly sits closer to you

answers you instead of others

When you thank him, he avoids eye contact and just nods softly.

His friends tease him because he’s obviously softer around you.

Jaehee (the sunshine senior you feel safe with)

Everyone loves him.

The kind of senior who smiles at you in the hallway like you’ve been friends forever.

You probably fell for him because he remembered your name 🥹

Helps you with homework or lets you sit beside him while studying.

“Did you eat already?” type energy.

Laughs at everything you say—even when it’s not that funny 😭

You once fell asleep while studying and he just let you rest.

Covered you with his jacket???

HIS FRIENDS WOULD NOT LET HIM LIVE IT DOWN.

Treats you gently but deeper feelings are definitely there.

Ryo (the teasing smart senior)

Top student + playful menace combo.

Loves teasing you because your reactions are too cute.

“You’re easy to read.”

You get flustered = he smiles like he just won.

Helps you with schoolwork but explains things while lightly making fun of you 😭

“Focus…or are you just staring at me again?”

You once tried to avoid him and he noticed IMMEDIATELY.

Gets a little clingy when he likes you.

Will lean over your shoulder while helping you…WAY TOO CLOSE.

Lowkey proud when others notice you’re always around him.

Sakuya (the cute but surprisingly bold senior)

Everyone babies him but he’s actually more daring than expected.

First to approach YOU.

“You’re the junior who always looks at me, right?”

YOU NEARLY DIED.

Thinks your reactions are adorable.

Brings you snacks randomly 🥹

“I saw this and thought of you.”

Gets pouty when you don’t pay attention to him.

VERY clingy:

follows you around

sits beside you whenever he can

His friends tease him for liking someone younger and he gets all shy but doesn’t deny it.

Will straight up say:

“You like me, don’t you?”

Riku You try to ragebait him and say something like, “Your rap wasn’t even that good today.”

He freezes for a second… then laughs loudly.

“WHAT???”

Now it turns into playful bickering where he keeps defending himself dramatically.

“Okay but you don’t understand rap technique!” “And YOU do???”

Both of you end up laughing because neither of you can stay serious.

Yushi You tease him and say something like, “Wow you danced kinda sloppy today.”

He slowly turns his head and gives you that silent cat stare.

“…Really?”

Now he’s competitive.

“Show me how you would do it then.”

Suddenly it becomes a challenge because he refuses to lose.

But later he’ll sulk a little and mutter, “You always say things like that…”

Jaehee You try to start an argument with him.

“You’re so dramatic.”

He just laughs and claps his hands like he always does when he laughs.

“ME?? Dramatic??”

Now he’s teasing you back.

“Look who’s talking.”

The bickering becomes lighthearted and he ends up smiling the whole time.

Ryo You try to ragebait him.

“You’re such a nerd.”

He immediately gasps.

“Excuse me???”

Now he starts teasing you back nonstop.

“Okay but at least I’m smart.”

When you clap back he sighs and gives that defeated smile like he always does when someone out-teases him.

“Wow… I can’t win with you.”

Sakuya You tease him.

“You’re such a baby.”

Immediate reaction.

“HEY!!!”

He starts arguing back with full energy.

“I am NOT a baby!”

But five minutes later he’s still following you around complaining about it.

“You always say that! Stop saying that!”

Riku

Riku is LOUD about it.

“Guys she’s 5'7!” he announces like you just won an award.

You smack his arm. “Why are you exposing my height?”

“It’s impressive!”

He likes that you’re tall. He thinks it makes you look confident. When you walk next to him, he matches your stride like it’s a competition.

But here’s the thing.

When someone jokes, “Wow, she’s kinda tall.”

Riku immediately wraps an arm around your shoulders.

“Yeah,” he says proudly. “And?”

He’s not insecure about it. Not even a little.

Sometimes he’ll stand on his tiptoes dramatically just to tease you.

“Wait,” he says one day, squinting. “If you wear heels… you’ll be taller than me.”

You shrug. “Maybe.”

“…Wear them.”

You blink. “What?”

“I want to see it.”

He thinks it’s cool. He likes that you don’t fit the “tiny girlfriend” stereotype. And when you hug him? He fits perfectly under your chin.

He pretends to complain but actually melts.

Yushi

Yushi notices quietly.

He doesn’t comment at first.

But when you walk side by side, he looks at your reflection in a window and goes quiet.

“…You look strong,” he says randomly.

You blink. “Strong?”

He nods.

He likes that you’re tall because it makes you look confident. Powerful. He finds it attractive in a way he doesn’t fully explain.

One time someone said, “Wow, she’s almost your height.”

Yushi just looked at them.

“…So?”

That’s it. That’s the response.

He actually loves when you’re close to eye level because he doesn’t have to bend down to kiss you. He just tilts his head slightly.

But here’s the secret:

When you wear heels and get a little taller than him?

He stares.

Not insecure.

Just… impressed.

And maybe slightly competitive.

He’ll suddenly stand straighter next to you like, “We’re the same height. Right?”

You smile.

He looks away, ears pink.

Jaehee

Jaehee’s reaction is wholesome.

“Oh! You’re tall!”

That’s it.

He says it like he just found out you can play piano too.

He thinks it’s cute. He likes that when you sit next to him, your knees accidentally bump because you’re not small and tucked away.

He once said, “You look like a runway model.”

You laughed.

“I’m serious!”

He claps when he laughs and then immediately apologizes for clapping too loud in public.

If someone points out your height, he just smiles proudly.

“Yeah, she’s pretty.”

That’s all.

No weird energy. Just admiration.

Ryo

Ryo definitely teases you.

“Lowkey tall,” he says with that little defeated smile when you glare at him.

“You act like I’m 6 feet.”

“Not yet.”

He likes pretending you’re super tall just to get a reaction.

But when you stand next to him for photos and you’re almost eye level?

He suddenly goes quiet.

“…It suits you.”

“What does?”

“Being tall.”

He’s mature about it. Doesn’t make it weird.

But he does love when you lean down slightly to hear him.

“Stop bending,” he sighs. “I can reach.”

And then he pulls you closer anyway.

Sakuya

Sakuya is dramatic.

“EH?! You’re tall!”

You cross your arms. “Am I?”

“Yes!”

He stands back and measures with his hand like he’s calculating.

“But you’re cute,” he adds quickly.

“So tall girls aren’t cute?”

“No no no no that’s not what I meant!”

He panics.

He thinks your height is cool though. He likes that when you stand next to him, you don’t look tiny. It makes him feel like you’re reliable.

One time you wore heels and he just stared up at you.

“…You look powerful.”

“Powerful?”

“Yes. Like a final boss.”

You burst out laughing.

But honestly? He kind of admires it.

Study dates are his favorite. Library dates? YES. He’ll bring neatly organized notes, color coded tabs, highlighters. You doodle on the side of his paper and he pretends to scold you but keeps the paper forever. If you say you’re tired, he softly says, “Just five more minutes, okay?” in that mature Kyoto boy tone.

He sends you random fun facts at 2am. Like actually random. “Did you know octopuses have three hearts?” and then follows it with “Anyway, I miss you.” He acts serious but he’s clingy so he always needs to tell you he’s thinking about you.

He gets competitive in board games. Not aggressively. Just quietly intense. His smart brain switches on and suddenly he’s strategizing like it’s a championship match. But if you look sad because you’re losing, he will absolutely pretend he miscalculated. He’s weak for you.

He loves when you sit on his bed while he studies. You’re just scrolling on your phone and he keeps glancing at you instead of his book. When you catch him staring, he quickly looks down and mutters, “Focus, Ryo…” like he’s scolding himself.

You calling him “my genius” makes him short circuit. He’ll deny it. “I’m not that smart.” Liar. He is. But he melts every time.

He probably helps you organize your schedule and reminds you of deadlines. Sends you “Did you eat?” texts. Mature boyfriend energy. But the second you kiss his cheek while he’s mid explanation, he forgets everything he was saying.

And because he’s from Kyoto and lowkey soft… he’d absolutely buy you cute little matching stationery sets. Says it’s practical. It’s not. He just likes matching with you.

Nerdy boyfriend Ryo is gentle, clingy, smart, and secretly whipped.

Riku

You’re arguing back and forth, voices overlapping.

You say, “I feel like I’m never good enough for you.”

He laughs—sharp, defensive.

“Then maybe stop acting like it.”

Silence.

Your eyes gloss over. You turn away.

Riku’s confidence shatters instantly. He hates that he laughed.

That night, he corners you gently.

“I didn’t mean that,” he says quickly. “I panicked. I joke when I’m scared.”

He cups your face, thumbs brushing your cheeks.

“You’re the one person I never think is lacking. I just… didn’t know how to say I was afraid of losing you.”

Yushi

The argument is quiet. Too quiet.

You admit softly, “Sometimes I feel ugly. Like you could do better.”

He sighs, frustrated, eyes down.

“Why do you always think like that?”

“It’s tiring having to reassure you all the time.”

You flinch.

Yushi realizes immediately—but you’ve already shut down.

Later, he sits beside you without touching.

“I didn’t mean ‘tiring’ like that,” he murmurs. “I meant I’m bad with words. I hate that you see yourself that way.”

Finally, he reaches for your hand.

“I stare at you because I like you. I just don’t know how to say it right when I’m upset.”

Jaehee

The argument turns emotional fast.

You say you feel replaceable. Small.

He answers too quickly.

“You’re overthinking again.”

It feels dismissive. Like your feelings don’t matter.

You pull away.

Jaehee spends the next hour replaying it over and over.

When he comes back, he sits on the floor in front of you.

“I messed up,” he admits. “I didn’t listen. I tried to fix instead of understand.”

He smiles softly, eyes sincere.

“You’re allowed to feel insecure. I just want to be the person who makes it quieter—not louder.”

Ryo

You tease yourself during the argument—self-deprecating, trying to hide how hurt you are.

He snaps without thinking.

“Then stop acting so pitiful.”

Instant regret.

Your smile disappears.

Ryo hates himself for it.

He finds you later, voice gentle, eyes guilty.

“I was joking to protect myself,” he says. “But it was cruel.”

He takes your hand carefully.

“You’re not pitiful. I just hate seeing you hurt and not knowing how to help.”

Sakuya

The argument feels messy, emotions spilling everywhere.

You say you feel unwanted sometimes.

He blurts out, overwhelmed,

“You’re thinking too much again!”

You go silent. Hurt.

Sakuya paces for ten minutes before realizing he said the exact wrong thing.

When he comes back, he’s nervous.

“I didn’t mean it like that,” he says quickly. “I meant I don’t want you hurting.”

His voice drops.

“I like you so much it scares me. So I say dumb things.”

He offers you a shy, apologetic smile.

Bakery Dates (His Favorite)

He drags you to a tiny bakery he found online.

Sakuya lights up the moment he sees the bread section—eyes sparkling, voice suddenly excited.

He buys way too much bread, then shyly pushes one toward you.

“Try this one… I think you’ll like it.”

You end up sitting outside, sharing pastries, and he accidentally gets crumbs on his cheek. When you wipe them away, he freezes—ears red, voice suddenly deep and quiet.

“…You’re dangerous.”

Soccer Practice

You watch him practice soccer, sitting on the sidelines.

Every time he scores, he looks for you first, grinning proudly.

After practice, he collapses next to you, sweaty and tired, resting his head on your shoulder without asking.

“Did you see that goal?”

He pretends to be cool and mysterious, but the second you praise him, he breaks into a huge smile.

Pink-Loving, Pretends-He-Doesn’t-Care BF

You buy him a pink keychain “by accident.”

He says,

“It’s fine. I don’t care.”

But the next day, it’s attached to his bag.

And the day after that, he buys you a matching one.

When you point it out, he avoids eye contact.

“…It just looked better as a set.”

Quiet Night Comfort

Sakuya comes over late, unusually quiet.

He sits beside you, shoulder to shoulder, not saying much.

After a while, he murmurs,

“Can I stay like this for a bit?”

No teasing, no jokes—just him trusting you enough to be soft.

His head slowly leans against yours, and you feel how warm he is.

Soft Jealousy

When someone compliments you, Sakuya goes quiet.

Later, he links your fingers together, voice low.

“You’re mine… right?”

RIKU

Riku is usually the confident, chill type, but you destroy all of that. You make him smile so big his eyes disappear—like he physically cannot hide how happy you make him.

When you do something unintentionally cute? He laughs loudly, the kind of laugh that makes everyone around look.

He LOVES your natural baby-like charm. You don’t force aegyo or act cute—you just are, and that gets him every time.

Riku ends up spoiling you more than he intended. If your cheeks look extra soft that day, he pinches them lightly and goes, “What do I do with you, seriously?”

He’s also the king of matching outfits. He drags you into a shop like, “Let’s get matching mittens,” because he thinks it highlights how adorable you are next to him.

In public he acts calm but stays close—hand on your back, walking on the outer edge of the sidewalk, keeping you warm. In private he cuddles you so tightly and pokes your cheeks when he thinks you’re asleep (you’re not).

He brags to the members like an annoying older brother: “She just smiles and I’m DONE.”

He’s proud he has someone so precious to protect.

YUSHI

Yushi tries SO HARD to act unaffected, but he fails miserably.

He’s got that quiet, reserved, catlike vibe… but with you? You make him soften in ways he didn’t know were possible.

Whenever your puppy eyes look up at him, he avoids eye contact instantly—his gaze drops to the floor and he smiles in that shy, almost boyish way. He gets quiet, gentle, and secretly flustered.

He LOVES your soft cheeks but pretends to tease you about them: “Why are your cheeks so squishy today?” Yet he’s the one who cups them with warm hands and kisses them when nobody’s looking.

He’s clingy in a quiet, subtle way—standing close behind you, playing with your fingers, tugging you closer by your sleeve. In crowds, he makes sure you’re right next to him, hand intertwined with yours, tension in his voice if he can’t see you.

He gets jealous faster because of how adorable you are. If someone else compliments your cuteness, he sulks a little and speaks extra softly: “…I saw first.”

At home, though? He cuddles you like a cat who finally found his warm spot on the couch. You bring out the side of him that giggles, teases, and smiles into your neck.

JAEHEE

Jaehee is pure sunshine around you.

He already smiles a lot, but with you? He literally grins whenever he hears your voice.

He thinks your natural cuteness is the sweetest thing in the world—your soft cheeks, your round eyes, the way your expressions are naturally baby-like. He looks at you like you’re a small animal he wants to protect at all costs.

He ALWAYS checks on you. Too cold? He wraps his jacket around you. Too hot? He buys you a drink. Too crowded? He holds your hand firmly. Too quiet? He hums a tune he thinks will make you smile.

He giggles and claps when you do something unintentionally cute—he can’t help it, it’s just his natural reaction. You could just tilt your head curiously and he’s like, “Ahhh she’s so cute!” clap clap

He plays piano for you often because he likes seeing your soft, childlike wonder when you listen. He finds you absolutely precious, but he still treats you with respect and warmth.

He’s the definition of “I want to protect this smile.”

RYO

Ryo is doomed from day one.

Your baby-like face? Cute cheeks? Soft eyes? Yeah. He’s done.

He teases you CONSTANTLY because he thinks your reactions are the cutest things he’s ever seen. “Why are your cheeks bouncier than yesterday?” “You look extra baby today.”

He pokes your face until you lightly swat his hand away.

But when you tease him back? He sighs and gives that famous “defeated smile,” then pulls you into his arms like, “Okay, okay, you win.”

He acts mature and cool, but the second you do something cute he turns into a blushing mess who hides his face behind his hands.

He loves protecting you—holding your waist in crowds, leaning down to your level so he can hear you, guiding you with a warm hand on your back. He has older-brother instincts, so your cuteness brings out his caring side even more.

He gets clingy when you’re cuddly, wrapping himself around you and refusing to let go.

You’re his personal weakness and he knows it.

SAKUYA

The cutest member + the cutest girlfriend = chaos.

Sakuya ADORES you. He already loves cute things, so having a naturally adorable girlfriend feels like a dream for him.

He stares at your cheeks constantly. Like literally stares until you ask, “What?” Then he answers, “They look so soft… can I touch?” And he gently pokes them with sparkly eyes.

He tries to act all mysterious and cool, but the moment you pout? The act is OVER. He becomes energetic, clingy, and starts talking in that excited tone the members know all too well.

He loves matching keychains, phone charms, socks—anything cute. He’ll bounce up to you like, “Let’s get matching pink ones!”

He gets super hyper when you do something adorable, almost like he absorbs your energy. You brighten his whole mood instantly.

When you’re tired or quiet, he cuddles into you like a small cat and whispers, “You’re cute even when sleepy…”

riku you made one joke. he laughed like you were the funniest person alive. that was literally all it took. the friendship was instant, loud, effortless. he’s the kind of person you realize you’re best friends with only when you’re already sharing snacks, matching outfits, and talking like you’ve known each other your whole life.

yushi you bonded over food first. ramen somehow became your “thing.” he was shy around you, all small smiles and looking away when you caught him staring… until suddenly he wasn’t. once he warmed up, he got clingy, a little chaotic, and a tiny bit mean in the most affectionate way. that’s when you realized he trusted you — and that’s basically how you became his person.

jaehee with jaehee, it felt like sunshine. he was always the first to greet you, always smiling, always making everything a bit softer. he laughed at your jokes (sometimes clapped, which killed you every time), and shared little pieces of his world with you. you didn’t “become” best friends — you just slowly found yourselves orbiting the same warm space.

ryo you two became best friends through teasing. he started it, obviously. you teased him back and he did that tiny sigh-laugh-smile combo like he’d been defeated. that was the moment he decided you were his favorite. he looks mature until he’s around you — then he gets clingy, cute, and just a little bit too comfortable. you never stood a chance.
