This post might be pro polysaja lol, but I think any ship is valid

So basically I was talking with my friend about how it would be funny if Jinu was both touch starved and touch-averse at the same time, which gives the rest of the boys absolute whiplash since he's the one initiating all the skinship moments. So have some headcanons:

Unlike Huntr/x, whose skinship moments are very organic, Jinu is very methodical about it, carefully creating situations (as the marketing genius that he is)

He gives meaningful stares to Abby or Romance, sits a little too close to Mystery, or acts like he's fixing Baby's hair/clothes, etc

Abby and Romance are really good at responding in kind and being playful, even following Jinu's example and initiating skinship as well (mostly with each other)

Mystery is more quiet about it, either smiling back at Jinu or reaching out to squeeze Jinu's hand or thigh (wtv it is at reach at the moment), which makes the moment look more sweet in comparison to the pink duo

Baby though? Very awkward, the youngest doesn't know how to react. This makes Jinu's failed attempts at flirting seem as one sided. He was about to drop it when he discovered that fans actually ate that shit up like crazy. It started as memes, comments made in sympathy with Jinu (ouch), then as whole ass community platforms where they shared fanmade content, cheering him on. It was actually kinda getting in his nerves, but he dealt with it bc he was getting the desired effect anyway

One day though, Jinu accidentally collided against Baby while walking backwards on stage. He didn't mean to, it was actually an accident, but the fans screamed like banshees either way. Still, feeling shy and self-aware bc his backside just brushed against Baby's front, Jinu moved quickly to the side and he witnessed Baby's frown. He looked upset, disgusted even, which made Jinu's stomach drop. He stopped trying to flirt with Baby since then

From then on, Jinu mostly focused on flirting with Romance and Mystery, meanwhile somehow Abby got Baby to participate in skinship with him (ouch x2). Their duo actually got quite popular and Jinu's "one sided" fiasco was mostly forgotten about

That is, until Baby started flirting with the rest of them. It seemed like his interactions with Abby helped him build confidence

Baby had a different approach depending on the person. With Abby he was rougher, maybe a little too playful, like pulling Abby's shirt up and feeling him up (the rest of them thought it was funny to see Abby being shy for once though)

With Mystery it was more innocent playfulness, staring at each other, holding hands, sharing food...

With Romance, Baby acted a little more bratty and pouty, asking/demanding Romance's attention or for him to do stuff for Baby (sometimes this would irritate Romance, so either Jinu or Mystery would often intervene. It was clear Baby was amusing himself at their expense...)

Jinu was lowkey expecting Baby to approach him at some point, but he was honestly feeling nervous about it. Therefore, Jinu avoided the youngest as much as he could, to the point that it made fans make rumors about Jinu and Baby fighting/having conflicts. It actually made Baby visibly upset, yet the other 3 didn't intervene as they trusted Jinu wasn't being malicious, but was actually crafting another of his plans

He wasn't. He was panicking at this point. The good side is that outside of public spaces or recordings of any kind, the group had this silent agreement of no need for skinship in private (though Jinu supposed that didn't really stop Abby and Romance from being... themselves). But Baby started to act annoyed and borderline hostile with him in private as well. He was mad at being ignored, the irony...
