Hak as a Boyfriend HeadcanonsΒ
He is so the "I don't care but actually I care SO SO SO much" typeΒ
Protectiveness
Hak has a very instinctual, almost primal need to put himself between you and any threat. He won't make a big deal of it, he justΒ doesΒ it, and if you point it out he'll shrug and say "don't read into it."
He's hyper-aware of your surroundings at all times. You could be at a festival and he'd already have mentally clocked every exit and suspicious person before you finished your first bite of food.
He won't smother you though. He respects your ability to handle yourself, but the moment something feelsΒ off, he's right there.
Teasing & Affection
His love language is absolutely acts of service wrapped in a thick layer of sarcasm. He'll carry everything you're struggling with while making fun of you for struggling.
Expect constant teasing nicknames. He uses humor as armor, so if he's roasting you, it means he'sΒ comfortable.Β Andthat's basically intimacy for him.
Genuine, soft compliments from him areΒ rareΒ and hit different because of it. When he quietly says something sincere, no jokes attached, your heart stops a little.
He's not big on PDA in front of others but in private he's surprisingly tactile: a hand on your back, pulling you close without explanation, resting his chin on your head.Β
Communication Style
He's terrible at saying "I love you" with words, at least at first. He says it by staying up to watch over you, by memorizing your preferences, by showing up every single time.
When something actually bothers him emotionally, he goes quiet instead of talking about it. You'd have to learn to readΒ himΒ : a tightened jaw, a shift in his eyes.
Once he actually opens up though (and boy does it take a while), he's unexpectedly thoughtful. He's been observing you closely this whole time.
Day-to-Day Boyfriend Things
Hak absolutely will steal food off your plate and dare you to say something about it.
Incredibly reliable. "I'll be there at noon" means he's there at 11:50.
Falls asleep easily around you because you're one of the few people he genuinely feels safe with⦠even if he'd never admit that's the reason.
Competitive aboutΒ everything, even stupid little games. He cannot let you win and you'd have to accept that about him.
His idea of a perfect date is probably something active, sparring, hiking, exploring, but he'd sit through something boring you love without a single real complaint (just fake ones, for the bit).
The Deeper Stuff
His devotion runsΒ incrediblyΒ deep. He's the type who has already decided on you completely and just... acts accordingly, quietly, without needing it acknowledged.
Hak has a hard time believing he deserves softness, so if you're gentle with him he genuinely doesn't know what to do with it at first.
He would never ask you to choose between him and your own goals or dreams. He'd follow you into chaos and call it just another day.
You'd always feel like the most protected, most seen person in the room⦠even when he's pretending not to pay attention to you.
Bottom line: dating Hak is being loved fiercely and quietly by someone who shows it in every way except the obvious ones⦠ until one day he does that too.
