#dongil

이찬 changmin is someone i have apparently pegged as a giver and that is not excluding aftercare. in terms of giving aftercare, he is the sweetest and i see him having experience with it to the point where he would have the basic physical aftercare down, things like cleaning his partner up and holding them close, and would be a quick learner if they'd need something more, since he is just very much open to listen and follow their needs, whether they'd need little or a lot in terms of aftercare. with emotional aftercare, he would not be as knowledgeable but only because every person has different needs and therefore is gonna have to have a talk with his partner about it, but he is always ready to tell them that he loves them a lot afterwards. now, in the case of receiving aftercare, he's a little different. he's like a doctor (since a doctor is the worst kind of patient), he is not the best about receiving aftercare, even when he needs it, which can lead to some bad spirals and physical hurt afterwards. he's so focused on making sure his partner is being taken care of that he forgets himself. he would need a rhythm of being taken care of the next day, when his mind is off being the giver.

디원 dongil is a dom, and with that comes aftercare as an integral part of sex, never an option or an afterthought. him giving aftercare has become as natural as breathing since it's also a part of his ritual for feeling better himself. he is never done until his sub and/or partner is feeling good and is taken care of in any way they'd need and want. he has all the things he need for a good aftercare; perfume-free lotion being his favourite since he loves being the one putting it on his partner after he's spanked them, knowing that he does what he can to keep the pain fun and not something that's too much of a bother outside of a scene. since he is so involved in bd/sm (my headcanon but just go with it), he knows that receiving aftercare is important if it's needed, and will therefore not hold back on communicating that to his partner. i don't see him needing much in terms of physical aftercare, maybe his hair being played with while resting his head in his partner's lap from time to time, but maybe he'd need some emotional aftercare, asking them to tell him that he isn't being too much and that he didn't cross any lines during their scene.

지케이 aftercare comes kind of natural for gwanghyun, in the way that he and his partner wouldn't be ones to move into freakier territories, but he's also quick to give his partner the care they need, giving aftercare is therefore something that just happens after sex is over. he loves holding his partner and talking with them afterwards and making the mood lighter, something that is very important to him. he doesn't want to become the cliché man that falls asleep and forgets about the person with him after he has had his orgasm. he doesn't mind falling asleep almost right after, but he does that only if he knows his partner is satisfied and feeling good, even feeling sleepy. there'd be times when he's exhausted and is trying his hardest not to fall asleep, and his partner would have to reassure him that he can. times like these are where he'd be more likely to be the one receiving aftercare in that sense. being held is something that gwanghyun secretly loves but doesn't often indulge in. he's better at letting himself be held when he's tired. he loves being the big spoon, holding his partner like they deserve but sometimes he needs to be the little spoon, feel taken care of too. doesn't say it loudly much though.

희찬 heechan feels a bit like a blank slate to me. he had mostly not known a lot about aftercare until he has a partner that needs him to know. giving aftercare would be something that he would love to do after having a conversation with his partner about what they'd need from him. he is one that would need clear instructions about how to do it though, at least the first few times until he can read his partner a little better. would often ask what they need and what he can do, quick to jump into whatever they ask of him. his favourite thing is to rest his face against his partner's, giving them small kisses on their cheeks and having his forehead against theirs, just breathing with each other and him giving love in the kisses. receiving aftercare is something he figures out he needs way too late, in his partner's opinion. he has never thought about him being cared for after sex like that, but the first time his partner asks him to sit between their legs with his back facing them so that they can clean and rub cream on the scratch marks adorning his back, he feels loved and taken care of in a way he never has before, thanking his partner for it afterwards.

룬 lune isn't ignorant about aftercare per se, but it's not something he thinks about as a part of sex like that. it's not like he isn't giving aftercare, he just doesn't think of it like that. having his arms wrapped around his partner and making sure they're comfortable and clean is something that would come so easily to him. he enjoys taking a bath with his partner afterwards more than anything, having them sit between his legs as his hands move over their skin, cleaning them from all the sweat and other bodily fluids that may have been on them from having sex. drying them off and having them wrapped in the comfiest bathrobe ever is one of his favourite things, maybe even picking out soft matching pyjamas if that's what is needed before going to bed. with how he's giving aftercare, he's also receiving aftercare at the same time. soaking his body in warm water, cleaning himself up, physically taking care of himself as he takes care of his partner while not being apart from them is his version of aftercare. he just needs to be close to them afterwards, that's all, although washing off sweat from messing around in the sheets is also great.

준서 junseo loves taking care of his partner after sex, even before he was introduced to 'aftercare' as a concept. giving aftercare is something he lives for, loving when his partner leans on him completely for care, trusting him to give them the best care. he can't help but adore when his partner reaches out for him to hold and to lift and carry to wherever they need to go. his reliable hands would never drop them. he would give physical attention where needed as much as emotional, not new to giving a little massage if he had his partner bent in some weird way during sex, but also up for talking about whatever is needed. if his partner needs reassurance, he would be so quick to give it and would just show so much love and care. receiving aftercare is not his priority, as he's usually fulfilled emotionally by taking care of his partner afterwards, being there for them is the biggest comfort for him, but if he feels like something missing afterwards, he would take a little time to figure it out himself before bringing it up to his partner. he is softhearted, so if he tries some things a little more harsh during sex, he might need a little more emotional aftercare, but his first priority will always be his partner, and then he'll tell if he needs anything.

유쿠 yuku loves the idea of aftercare! being all lovey and caring after sex? yuku's dream. he'd be so quick to be giving aftercare the best he can. he might be a bit tired out after sex but he will snuggle into his partner at the very least, telling them that he felt really good and asking how it was for them. yuku is a snugglebug and would love to slot himself right where he fits against his partner, giggling with affection. he would ask if there's anything he can do for them, they really just need to ask and he's on it, but he would prefer if it didn't involve him leaving them in bed. i can see him running his hand over his partner's back to show care. as for receiving aftercare; yuku would love to be taken care of as well, but he doesn't voice it a lot. he often loses words when it comes to getting instead of giving, but loves when his partner pulls him close in an embrace, feeling their arms around him. he may pull back a bit if he's felt vulnerable during sex, but that's where he needs his partner the most. being held is a big comfort for him, being enveloped in another person's warmth makes him feel safe. if he's in even bigger need of care, he would love to be hugged close to his partner with his face shoved to their chest, hearing their heartbeat.

해리준 harry would need a minute after finishing just to lay there but afterwards he's pretty chill about aftercare. i can see a way for him to be giving aftercare is just bringing both him and his partner down by talking. about whatever comes to mind really. "oh did you hear dean's new song? yeah i was jamming to it earlier." all while he's pulling his partner closer and on top of him to have them lay on him. would take a break from yapping to kiss their forehead and ask how they're feeling, if they need water or help to get to the bathroom. he wouldn't mind getting stuff for them if that's what they need. he would also get some lotion on his partner if he had left marks during sex, asking if they liked it or if he was too rough. he doesn't really think he needs to be the one receiving aftercare since he's the one topping and being rough with his partner, but it's always nice to feel taken care of, and if his partner feels like spoiling him a little, he won't say no to that. he especially loves it if they sprinkle kisses all over his skin, favourite places being on his chest and on the top of his back, but other than that, he doesn't think about needing aftercare much himself other than the occasional reassurance that he didn't hurt his partner.

masterlist tip jar

E-Chan

changmin has a lot of roles when on set

he's out there doing what he needs to when filmed

and keeping up morale among the members

and monitoring them to help them achieve their best selves in the video

of course he shares the job with dongil, which he is so grateful for, since dongil is the best at keeping the kids entertained

but when he sees you show up in the background, he forgets everything about being professional right then and there

you can see his face light up from the serious and beautiful expression he has on as he does his part in the video

you giggle as he sprints over to you and lifts you into his arms, holding you close as he spins you around

he's laughing, you're laughing, some of the members are giggling in the background

the only ones who aren't laughing are the staff who had to pause because of this little interruption

"Minnie, i didn't want to distract you!"

he doesn't care

he absolutely doesn't mind their manager whining behind him either

at some point you try to wiggle your way out of his grasp, but um..

it doesn't really do anything

until you poke at his sides, his body flinching as you take advantage of the fact that he is very ticklish

after being let go, you grab his shoulders, twist him around and slap his butt to send him onto the set again

him looking back at you with a smile so big that his cheeks are hurting

but hey, now he has new motivation to work as hard and as fast as he can to go back and be with you until he is needed again

Teo

seongsik's already goofing off on set, to the delight of everyone

he's serious when he needs to be

but when the camera cuts for a new take or a change on set

his cute and goofy nature turns on

when he has a break in shooting, either from the crew needing to change some things or another member having to do solo shots, he usually goes and hangs out with some of the members

or do stretches slash rehearsing for something coming up in the shoot

but dongil thought up a devious little plan

(devious in the way that isn't devious at all, but the scheming and sneaking around makes it feel like it is)

he has been messaging with you, figuring out when was the best time for you to come and surprise your boyfriend

so when you arrive, you're hurried into a spare room and told the game plan, dongil ending it with a "fighting"

you remember thinking that he's having way too much fun with this but that thought went away as soon as you saw seongsik

you looked back, getting a thumbs up from dongil and then sneaking up behind your boyfriend

you quickly jumped onto his back and put your hands over his eyes, trying your hardest to hold in your giggles

"wonnie, not again!" seongsik whined, thinking you were dongil

apparently, the schemer had done this all day to prepare to surprise your boyfriend as much as possible

you both let him struggle a bit before dongil called out from the other side of the room; "i'm not doing anything!"

with that seongsik stilled and slowly put his hands over yours

as soon as his vision was freed and he could take a look at you, he squealed with excitement

after that, the shoot went pretty much like it had, only now seongsik hung out with you in the breaks

and turns up his cuteness for you (who's behind the camera), waving to you every time he gets a chance

D1

as one of the leaders, dongil tries his best to be one of the least troublesome on-set

but of course, dongil is gonna be his silly self

and every time the time calls for it, he pulls a goofy face or does something funny

some of the reasons you fell for him in the first place

but he's a professional and he'll never let the flow of the shoot suffer for his actions

that is when he can control those actions

you see, dongil has a hard time,, pulling his focus away from you when he's around you

which was why he was so hesitant to bring you around work

but when he said it wouldn't be a good idea for the nth time for you to come around and watch one of their practices, you had confessed that it made you feel like he was ashamed of you

which absolutely broke his heart

he tried telling you that it was because he wouldn't want to stay away from you, but you didn't seem convinced

so he folded and invited you to come see him at the music video shoot

he said to come at a specific time, when there wasn't much left, mostly filler shots of them walking or sitting around

he thought that would be the easiest to handle

but alas

when he was supposed to look all stoic and idol-y, his eyes drifted over to you, bringing a smile to his face

he mentally slapped himself every time they had to call for another take, knowing the makeup team would be on his ass if he messed up their work, but no

his eyes still drifted

until his manager had to be hard on him and say that you had to leave if you were such a distraction

you had to giggle when he finally came to collect you from where they'd put you after he was done

he couldn't stop whining and hanging onto you, telling you this was the exact reason he couldn't have you around him at work

GK

gwanghyun is usually very chill, as you've learned

he's very calm-spirited

also around you

and it's not that he isn't excited when you suddenly show up to the set of the set for their new music video

but he's not bounding towards you like some overgrown puppy (ahem changmin)

he just sends you a small :] smile when he spots you waving at him and does his best to focus until he has a break, where he goes over to you

you had made him lunch, a few sandwiches really, as you remembered him saying that he never really gets the chance for a good lunch when they're shooting

you have been listening well to when he'd talk about food during comeback season

so, you made two sandwiches with chicken and salad and thin slices of bread

it still fills up but it should be alright for his dieting

you always grew worried for him during this time, wondering if he was eating and sleeping

and gwanghyun knew so, so when you asked him if you could have lunch with him, he kissed your cheek and accepted with a smile

the others knew that he preferred to spending a little quiet time with you and therefore stayed away until they had to call him back

he planted a sweet kiss on your forehead and pulled you in for a hug, thanking you for the food and the company

"I'll be okay, sweetheart. i'll see you later, yeah? i can come over after work"

you sighed into his embrace and nodded, looking forward to spending more time with him, something that didn't happen a lot during promotional periods

you waved at each other as you left him to go back to work, feeling better now that he had reassured you
