yeon sieun à»ê±
âą heâd pretend like he doesnât care, sitting stiffly while you dab toner on his face
âą âis this really necessary?...â heâd mumble, trying to sound annoyed, but the way his eyes flutter shut when your hands brush his cheeks completely gives him away
âą secretly, he loves the quiet intimacy of it â the calm, the warmth, the fact that itâs you
âą when you slide your pink headband onto him to keep his hair back, heâd murmur a soft âdonât.â but he wouldnât take it off either
âą once you finish, heâd look at you with that soft, unreadable gaze of his and quietly ask âdo i⊠look better?â
âyou look moisturized!â youâd giggle, squishing his cheeks as he tries not to blush
âą whenever you call him cute, his ears turn pink immediately and he mutters âstopâŠâ while very much hoping you wonât
âą eventually heâd begin requesting face masks before studying, claiming they âhelp him focus moreâ â when really, he just wants an excuse to feel your gentle hands on his skin again
sieun sat at his desk, hunched over a stack of notes, pencil tapping rhythmically as he studied. the room was dim except for the small lamp beside him â the only real light came from your side, where you sat cross-legged on his bed with your little bag of skincare opened beside you.
you were humming softly, patting toner into your cheeks, completely focused on your reflection in the tiny mirror that youâd propped up against his pillow.
after a minute of listening to the gentle tap tap tap of your fingers on your skin, sieun finally turned, his expression calm and unreadable.
âwhat are you doing?â he asked, voice low and even.
you didnât look at him, still massaging serum into your face. âmy skincare,â you answered lightly âitâs my routine before bed.â you dabbed some cream onto your nose, leaning closer to the mirror. âyou should start too, you know. your lips are unbelievably dry. a simple vaseline would helpâŠâ you mumbled, half-focused on trying to blend everything perfectly.
sieun rolled his eyes and glanced back at his textbook â but then he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror you were holding. the way the light hit his mouth made it obvious.
my lips really are dryâŠ
he stared at them a beat too long.
then, without turning fully toward you, he murmured âcan you help then?â
you froze mid-pat, finally shifting your gaze from your reflection to him. âhelp⊠with your lips?â you asked, blinking.
sieun kept his eyes on the page in front of him, trying for indifference, but his ears were already burning pink. âyou said it would⊠fix it.â he cleared his throat. âso. do it.â
your surprise melted instantly into excitement, your whole face lighting up. âreally?â you grinned, already scrambling off the bed to grab the vaseline.
sieun finally looked up at you, still acting uninterested, but sitting a little straighter, lips slightly parted like he was trying not to look nervous.
âdonât make a big deal out of itâ he muttered.
you just laughed softly, dipping your finger into the balm as you moved closer to him. âi wonât,â you whispered âtilt your head up.â
and he did. without complaint. without hesitation.
eyes closing the moment your thumb brushed the soft skin of his bottom lip â his entire posture melting a fraction, the stiff lines of tension slipping away as he let you take care of him.
and for the first time that night, he didnât pretend not to enjoy it.
ahn suho à»ê±
âą heâs way too excited, like heâs been waiting his whole life for you to offer to do his skincare
âą he sits down in front of you with that bright, eager smile âokay! iâm ready! use the fancy stuffâ donât hold back!â
âą when the cold toner touches his face, he jerks back dramatically âAAHâ itâs freezing?? how do you survive this every night??â
âą absolutely adores sheet masks â picks the cutest patterned ones (he picked the one with a tiger pattern for himself to âlook coolâ) and immediately takes photos of both of you
âą when you massage his cheeks, he melts instantly â he closes his eyes, leaning into your hands âmmh⊠youâre really good at this⊠never stop.â
âą tries to return the favor but heâs a menace TT manages to poke your eye, wipe half of the moisturizer on your nose, and drop half the serum âwaitâ waitâ donât move! iâm a professional!â (he is definitely not a professional.)
âą every step of the routine heâs asking a hundred questions
âwhat does this do?â
âis this the one that makes me glow?â
âwill i look like an idol after this?â
and youâd just giggle âsure, suho.â
âą keeps checking himself in your camera, tilting his face like heâs on a photoshoot âam i glowing yet?? tell me the truth.â
âą once you finish, he follows you everywhere, grabbing your hand so you can feel his cheek âtouch it! noâ seriously. feel how soft i am now. iâm like a baby seal.â
âą and you KNOW heâs going to text sieun about this afterwards lol âsieun-ah! i have a glowing skin now. donât be jealous.â (sieun, in fact, doesnât care)
suho sprawled comfortably on your bed, kicking his feet like he owns the place, when his eyes drift up to the posters on your walls â glittery k-pop idol boys staring down, looking absolutely flawless.
he squints.
âhey,â he calls out, voice full of fake offense âyou donât like them more than me, right?â
you laugh, flopping beside him.
âof course not. youâre my favorite boy ever.â
his ears turn pink instantly âoh.â he tries to hide his smile by looking back at the posters, but it really doesnât work.
he leans closer to one of them, analyzing every inch of their faces with dramatic seriousness.
âbut damn⊠how are they doing that?â he whispers, awestruck âtheir skinâitâs like they donât have pores at all. thatâs⊠illegal.â
you shrug casually âwell, in order to achieve that you need to do your skincare, suho. wanna try? i have like a bunch of stuff.â
his head snaps towards you so fast you hear the mattress bounce.
his eyes are shining.
âdoes that mean youâre going to be touching my face the whole night?â
you flick his forehead âyouâre stupid. but yeah, basically.â
he sits up straight and throws a triumphant fist in the air like he just won a national championship.
âYES!!â
and so, you set everything upâtoner, serums, sheet masksâand suho sits in front of you all obedient and excited, legs crossed, hands on his knees like heâs attending the worldâs most important appointment.
âokay,â you say, opening the toner âhold still.â
the second the cold cotton pad hits his cheek he dramatically squeals.
âitâs FREEZING, babe. maybe a warning next time???â
youâre giggling too hard to reply.
he tries to recover his pride by straightening up âiâm fine. iâm tough. continue.â
later, when youâre smoothing moisturizer onto his face, he watches you with soft eyes, quiet for once.
âhey,â he murmurs, cheeks glowing even before the skincare kicks in âif i look even half as good as those poster guys⊠iâm putting this routine on my rĂ©sumĂ©.â
you laugh, tapping his nose.
âyou already look better than them.â
his blush spreads all the way to his neck.
after you finish, he keeps touching his own cheeks in disbelief.
âbabe. babe. feel this. iâm⊠squishy.â
âthatâs called being moisturized, suho.â
âno. itâs called perfection.â
he curls into your side under the blankets with a satisfied hum.
âfrom now on weâre doing this every time iâm sleeping overâ he announces.
and honestly? with how happy he looks⊠youâre not saying no.
oh beomseok à»ê±
âą when you first suggested doing his skincare, his whole body tensed â not because he didnât trust you, but because the thought of you seeing every pore, every blemish, every tiny insecurity up close made his stomach twist
âą what if sheâs gonna think iâm gross? what if she realizes iâm not good enough?
âą so he declined quietly, muttering something about being tired
âą you tried to play it off, but he caught the tiny flicker of disappointment in your eyes â and it hit him like a punch to the chest
âą he spent the rest of the night mentally tearing himself apart for letting his insecurities ruin a moment that couldâve made you happy
âą a few days later, when you came over to sleep at his place again, he greeted you at the door holding an enormous gift bag, blush creeping up his neck
âą inside? a massive collection of high-end skincare: sheet masks, soothing gels, glass-skin serums, under-eye patches, moisturizers so expensive they should require ID to buy
âą the way your eyes sparkled as you picked through the products made something warm bloom in his chest
âą he watched you like you were opening presents on christmas morning â and for once, he felt proud that he made you this happy
âą gently, almost timidly, he sat beside you and whispered âdo you⊠think any of this could make my skin betterâŠ?â
âą you froze, jaw dropping, still examining the products âare you kidding?! this stuff could make anyone glow â itâs insanely high quality! wait⊠waitâ beomseokâ are you saying you want me to do your skincare tonight?â you looked at him with literal stars in your eyes
âą he let out this soft, breathy laugh, cheeks turning pink as he avoided your gaze âi⊠iâd like that. yeah.â
âą when you started, he was stiff as a board â shoulders locked, eyes wide, holding his breath every time your fingers brushed his skin â nervous, shy, terrified of being seen so closely
âą but the longer your hands worked on him, so gentle, careful, and loving, the more his muscles loosened
you were overjoyed when beomseok finally agreed to let you do his skincare.
the moment he sat down on the edge of his bed, you practically skipped over, grabbing your little pink headband and gently sliding it into his fluffy hair to keep it out of his face.
âcuteâ you whispered without thinking.
his ears turned red instantly.
you took your time choosing each product â toner, serum, moisturizer â everything you knew his skin needed.
but the second your fingers touched his cheeks, his whole body went rigid, like he was holding his breath through the entire process.
you paused, worry settling in âbeomseok⊠if you donât like this, i can stop, you know?â
his eyes widened in panic, hands shooting up defensively âno! no, itâs notâ itâs not that!â
he swallowed hard, voice dropping to a whisper âi just⊠if you see me this close, you might realize iâm not really⊠the most handsome guy you couldâve chosen, you know?âŠâ
and that was all it took for you to swing one leg over and straddle his lap, your sudden closeness making him freeze, then turn bright red from the tips of his ears to his collarbones.
his breath hitched.
âw-waitââ
you leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on the tip of his nose.
âbeomseok,â you murmured, smiling gently âto me, youâre the prettiest guy ever. i promise.â
your hands cupped his cheeks as you continued âskincare is supposed to relax you, okay? and if anythingâŠâ your grin turned playful, eyes sparkling âiâm happy i get to touch you more.â
he let out a shaky breath, arms wrapping around your waist as he hid his face in the crook of your neck, completely overwhelmed.
âyouâre gonna make me lose my mind like thisâŠâ
his voice was muffled against your skin, but you could hear the relieved smile in it â soft, real, and full of affection he usually kept buried.
and just like that, he finally relaxed beneath your touch.
park humin (baku) à»ê±
âą heâs so excited itâs borderline dangerous âWEâRE HAVING A SPA DAY? LETâS GOOOOO!!â
âą completely loses his mind over how good everything smells âWHY DOES THIS ONE SMELL LIKE FRUIT SALADâyou sure itâs not edible? the packaging is in cute colors too! looks like candy.â
âą puts on a sheet mask and snaps multiple selfies, sending one to hyuntak
hyuntak: you look ridiculous
baku: YOU HAVE NO TASTE!
heâs genuinely offended for the rest of the night
âą hypes you up nonstop while you do his skincare
âyour hands are MAGICALâare you secretly a licensed esthetician?â
âyou should start a business; iâll be your model, your mascot, everything!â
âą tries to return the favor by rubbing moisturizer on your cheeks, huge smile plastered on his face, though heâs mostly just squishing your cheeks in his huge hands without any real technique
âbakuâit hurtsâŠâ you mumble
âBUT YOUâRE SOOOOO CUUUUTEâ he replies, squishing your cheeks gently like a plush toy
âą takes the praising part way too seriously
âbabe youâre glowingâ
âbabe youâre radiantâ
âbabe iâm blinded⊠actually waitâyeah, still blindedâ
âą by the end, heâs sprawled on the floor with his sheet mask slipping off mumbling âthat was literally the best day of my lifeâŠâ
you were sitting on bakuâs lap, carefully tending to the small injuries heâd gotten from some fight earlier, when some union punks tried to pick on juntae and sieun and baku of course stepped in, in order to protect them. his lip was slightly split, faint bruises along his cheekbone making you frown as you examined him.
he didnât mind the attention though. in fact, he was grinning, hands resting gently on your sides as if he couldnât believe you were this close to him.
âyour skin is⊠kind of dry,â you murmured casually, tilting your head as you grabbed a small tube of moisturizer âwhile iâm at it⊠donât you want me to do your skincare too maybe?â
bakuâs eyes lit up instantly, as he nodded eagerly.
you tried to open the tube, twisting and pulling, but it wouldnât budge. you let out an exasperated sigh. âugh⊠why wonât this open?â
âohhh, let me help!â baku said, reaching over, all smug confidence âthatâs why youâre dating an athletic guy, dear.â
he twisted the cap, pressing a little too hard. suddenly, a blob of cream shot out, landing on both your hands â and a little splattered onto his chin and your lap.
âHUMIN! this is expensive!â you exclaimed, lunging to grab the tube from him.
he caught your hands in his, holding them gently but firmly, and leaned forward, pressing a soft, quick kiss to your lips.
âcâmon⊠donât be madâ he said with a cheeky grin.
you couldnât help but laugh, shaking your head, instantly forgiving him. âfine, but youâre helping me clean this up too.â
he chuckled, tilting his head so you could carefully smooth the cream over his cheeks. the entire time, he stayed relaxed under your gentle hands, eyes soft, grin still plastered across his face.
âiâm really lucky, huh?â he whispered quietly, almost shy.
you hummed, brushing a strand of hair from his forehead âyeah⊠you are. now stay still, mister.â
he laughed, wrapping his arms around you tighter, letting himself completely melt under your touch. and just like that, the evening turned into soft laughter, gentle teasing, and quiet intimacy â just the two of you, wrapped up in each other.
go hyuntak (gotak) à»ê±
âą acts annoyed immediately when you suggest skincare
âiâm not putting that crap on my face.â
âpleaseee?â
âno, iâm an athlete! iâm supposed to have rough skin!â
âą literally ten minutes later, sighs and sits down reluctantly âfine. but only because you asked.â
âą pretends to hate everything you do while applying products, but completely melts every time your hands touch his jaw or cheeks
âą complains mid-application âdonât press so hardâwait, actually⊠keep doing that, it feels⊠nice.â
âą afterward, tries to act tough but canât hide his satisfaction ââŠmy face feels kinda fresh, i guess. donât get cocky.â
âą secretly enjoys the quiet intimacy of the moment, even if he grumbles the whole time
you were curled up on gotakâs bed, waiting for him to come back from basketball practice. the window was cracked open, letting in the cool evening air, and you were half-asleep when you heard heavy footsteps in the hall.
the door swung open.
gotak stood there, sweaty, hair sticking to his forehead, shirt clinging to him. he gave you a huge grin the moment he spotted you.
âheyâ he said, already leaning in for a kiss.
you immediately pressed your hands to his chest.
âno. not before you shower, mr. stinky.â
he froze, offended but amused.
âstinky? seriously? i just carried the whole teamââ
âand the whole teamâs smell is still on youâ you shot back.
he let out an exaggerated sigh, rolling his eyes but smiling anyway.
âfine. iâll go. donât run away while iâm gone.â
the bathroom door closed, and you could hear him humming off-key under the water.
while he was showering, you quietly arranged your skincare products on his nightstand â creams, toners, essences, everything lined up perfectly. you even added your cute little headband for dramatic effect.
gotak stepped back into the room a few minutes later, towel around his neck, hair damp and fluffy.
he stopped dead in his tracks.
his eyes flicked from the nightstand⊠to you⊠to the products⊠back to you.
âno,â he said immediately âno way. not a chance.â
you looked up at him sweetly.
âbut youâre so fresh and clean right now⊠the timing is literally perfect!â
he pressed his lips together, trying so hard not to look affected.
but then you tilted your head slightly, eyelashes fluttering just once â and that was it.
âugh,â he muttered, running a hand down his face âwhy do you have to be cute.â
he dropped onto the bed beside you like a defeated warrior.
âfine. do whatever. but iâm not promising anything.â
you tried to hide your smile as you reached for the toner. he sat stiffly at first, but the moment your fingers brushed along his jaw, his posture instantly softened. his eyes half-closed, shoulders loosening.
âyouâre taking this surprisingly wellâ you teased lightly.
âoh shut upâ he mumbled, though it came out way too soft to be convincing.
you worked the moisturizer next, hands gentle and slow. his breath hitched just slightly when your thumb moved up to his cheekbone, and you pretended not to notice how he subtly leaned closer.
when you finished, he blinked at you, expression unreadable â but warm.
ââŠokay,â he muttered âmaybe it wasnât the worst thing ever.â
you smirked.
âso you admit you liked it.â
âdonât push itâ he said, ears turning red. then he leaned in, brushing his forehead against your. âcan i kiss you now? i showered, didnât i?â
you smiled âyeah. you did.â
and this time, you let him press his lips against yours.
seo juntae à»ê±
âą so excited but soooo shy about it
âą âiâve⊠never done this before⊠is it really okay?â
âą sits nervously with his knees together while you lather foam cleanser on him
âą gets flustered each time your fingers touch his face
âą when you apply moisturizer, heâll whisper âyour hands are⊠really gentle.â
âą absolutely loves couple sheet masks
âą âyou look like a cute slime monster.â
âą wants to try your lip balm and accidentally puts way too much âi look silly now donât i haha?âŠâ
âą later buys skincare sets for both of you because he thinks itâs âyour ritual togetherâ from now on
you and juntae were sprawled out on your bed, watching one of his comfort animes. on-screen, the couple was sitting together in matching sheet masks, laughing and leaning into each other.
juntae blinked at it, cheeks tinting pink almost immediately.
âthatâs⊠actually kinda cuteâ he whispered, pulling his hoodie sleeves over his hands âthe skincare thing. it looks⊠intimate.â
you turned to him, smiling âyeah? you think so?â
he nodded slowly, eyes still glued to the screen âitâs like⊠something anime couples do before they confess.â
you nudged him lightly âwell⊠we can do it right now if you want to.â
his head snapped towards you so fast you almost laughed.
âr-right now?? i meanâ uhâ if you want to. iâm fine with it. totally fine.â he said, as his voice cracked a little.
you grabbed a couple of sheet masks from your drawer, and by the time you turned back to him, he was already sitting up straight, hands in his lap, posture stiff like he was about to take an exam.
âyou can relax, you knowâ you giggled.
âi am relaxedâ he said, shoulders up to his ears.
you cupped his jaw gently as you wiped his face with a warm towel. instantly, he shut his eyes and held perfectly still â so obedient it was adorable.
âyou donât have to close your eyes yet.â
âo-oh. sorry.â
he peeked at you shyly⊠then closed them again anyway.
you laid the mask over his face, smoothing it carefully. every soft drag of your fingertips made him tense, then slowly melt, his lashes fluttering just a little.
after a few minutes, you peeled it off and tapped the essence into his cheeks. juntae kept his eyes closed the whole time, patient and trusting, like he didnât want the moment to end.
âone last thingâ you whispered.
he hummed, still calm, still waiting.
you leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to his lips.
his eyes flew open â wide, startled, and very, very pink.
âh-huhâ??â
he looked like his soul left his body for a second.
you grinned at him âthat step wasnât in the anime, but i added it.â
he covered half his face with his sleeve, hiding a huge smile.
âif⊠if we do skincare again⊠can that step be⊠um⊠mandatory?â
âyeah,â you whispered, brushing his hair back âevery single time.â
he looked down shyly, but you could hear the tiny, happy laugh he tried to hide.
geum seongje à»ê±
âą âoh? you dare to touch my face now? thatâs bold.â heâd scoff, acting like you just challenged him to a duel
âą pretends itâs the biggest inconvenience in the world â heâll gladly throw punches in a fight, but sitting still for five minutes while you pamper him? suddenly impossible
âą you always make him wear your pink headband because his hair ALWAYS gets in the way, but the second you let out even the tiniest giggle at how cute your tough boyfriend suddenly looks, heâll rip it off with an annoyed huff
âą always insists on a condition: if youâre doing his skincare, he gets to hold you in his lap
âą will absolutely pull you closer mid-routine, making you straddle him completely because âyouâre too far, i canât see you properly.â
âą keeps smirking at you the whole time, just to fluster you on purpose and make you mess up
âą watches you with half-lidded eyes, gaze thick and hungry, like heâs more interested in you than the skincare (spoiler: itâs because he is)
âą if you tell him to hold still, heâll deliberately move a little just to annoy you and hear you scold him âyou really trust me to sit still while you do this?â heâll tease, voice dropping almost to a purr
âą after you finish, heâll kiss your palm and say âgood job, pretty girl.â
you were sitting cross-legged on seongjeâs bed, while he was passionately playing some videogame on his PC and eating some instant ramen at the same time. the room smelled like broth and cigarette smoke â his usual combo. after a moment of watching him play, you huffed under your breath.
âno wonder your skin acts up when you eat this trash all the time⊠and with your smoking habits on top of it.â
you didnât even mean it as an insult â just an observation. but the game suddenly paused. seongje turned in his chair, eyes narrowed in that sharp, unreadable way of his.
âyeah? and what can you do about it, huh?â he leaned back, arms crossed âam i not handsome enough for you like this or what?â his laugh was low, humorless.
you rolled your eyes so hard at his words it couldâve been audible âall iâm saying is, you could take care of your skin at least, considering all the unhealthy stuff you do. you know i always have products on me.â
he scoffed, shaking his head âi beat up people for money, babe. you think a guy like me is gonna sit around doing skincare?â he laughed again â but this time, the irony wasnât lost on either of you.
because ten minutes later, he was sitting on his bed with the most annoyed expression known to mankind. your pink headband kept his hair pushed out of his face, glasses tossed carelessly on the nightstand. you sat in front of him, squeezing lotion into your hand with complete focus.
âhold stillâ you muttered.
he didnât listen, obviously. but he didnât pull away either.
as your fingers gently spread the moisturizer over his skin, he visibly relaxed, the tension melting from his shoulders. he hated how much power you had over him. or maybe he loved it â judging from the way he stared at you.
then, suddenly, he tilted your chin up with one finger, leaning close enough that you could feel his breath.
âyouâre cute when you concentrateâ he murmured, voice low and smug.
your hands immediately trembled. he smirked, delighted.
and before you could recover, his hands slid to your hips, pulling you closer between his knees. âyou know what,â he said with a soft chuckle ânow i get the appeal of this whole skincare thing.â
you yelped when he started to place light kisses along your neck, your grip on the lotion bottle tightening âseongjeâ youâre so stupid! iâm not even halfway done, let me finish!â
he rolled his eyes, pulling back with a slow smirk. âyeah, yeah. youâre lucky iâm in a good mood.â
you managed to finish â though barely â with your heart pounding like crazy thanks to him.
the next day, when you two were hanging out at the bowling alley together, a couple of the union guys eyed him curiously.
âhey, seongje, why do you look⊠kinda glowy today?â
he just shrugged lazily, hands in his pockets.
âyeah, my girl likes touching my face too much.â
you nearly collapsed on the spot.
and he knew it â because he sent you a sideways smirk, eyes glittering with absolute victory.
that man was going to be the death of you someday.
na baekjin à»ê±
âą heâs initially hesitant, more out of pride than dislike â acts like he doesnât need pampering, but secretly enjoys it
âą will analyze every product you use, asking pointed questions about its ingredients or effects, showing his meticulous side
âą enjoys quiet, intimate moments of touch, but rarely verbalizes his appreciation
âą shows subtle signs of relaxation â slower breathing, softer postureâŠ
âą will occasionally peek at the mirror mid-routine, giving small nods of approval at the results
âą enjoys your gentle touches around his jawline and forehead the most, though heâd act indifferent
âą doesnât usually like to be fussed over for too long, so shorter, efficient skin care routines are ideal for him
âą appreciates your effort and care behind the routine more than the act itself â the closeness between you two matters to him the most at the end of the day
you had just finished tidying up a few things in your room when you heard the familiar shuffle of papers and a faint sigh. baekjin was already there, sprawled across your table with his hair messy, gel long gone, and a stack of union documents spread out before him. he looked focused, but tense â the kind of tense that always made your chest ache.
âbaekjin, dear⊠rest up a bit, hm?â you murmured, sliding behind him to wrap your arms lightly around his shoulders. your chin brushed against the back of his head. he gave a small sigh, the tension in his shoulders visible, and for a moment, guilt flickered across his face. he knew heâd been neglecting you, even unintentionally.
âi⊠i canât just sitâ he muttered, flipping another page, but you were already guiding him gently towards your bed.
âyes, you can,â you said softly âtrust me. i know exactly whatâs going to help you relax.â
he let his sharp, catlike eyes follow you carefully, narrowing slightly in curiosity. when you settled in front of him with your skincare bag open, ready to pamper him, he reached out before your hands could touch his face. he examined the creams, lotions, and serums in your hands with a careful, almost clinical interest.
ââŠokayâ he muttered quietly after a long exhale, letting you proceed.
your fingers brushed against his cheeks first, and you saw the stiffness in his shoulders begin to melt almost immediately. his eyes softened as you worked, the corners of his mouth tugging just slightly upward. he didnât say anything, not yet, but the way he leaned into your touch and closed his eyes told you everything you needed to know.
for the first time in weeks, maybe even months, he let himself just be. you adjusted a strand of hair from his forehead, applied moisturizer in careful strokes, and slowly, gently, he felt the weight of his responsibilities lift, replaced by the quiet warmth of being cared for.
and though he would never admit it out loud, under your touch, baekjin was entirely, utterly at peace.
