yeon sieun เป๊ฑ
โข heโd pretend like he doesnโt care, sitting stiffly while you dab toner on his face
โข โis this really necessary?...โ heโd mumble, trying to sound annoyed, but the way his eyes flutter shut when your hands brush his cheeks completely gives him away
โข secretly, he loves the quiet intimacy of it โ the calm, the warmth, the fact that itโs you
โข when you slide your pink headband onto him to keep his hair back, heโd murmur a soft โdonโt.โ but he wouldnโt take it off either
โข once you finish, heโd look at you with that soft, unreadable gaze of his and quietly ask โdo iโฆ look better?โ
โyou look moisturized!โ youโd giggle, squishing his cheeks as he tries not to blush
โข whenever you call him cute, his ears turn pink immediately and he mutters โstopโฆโ while very much hoping you wonโt
โข eventually heโd begin requesting face masks before studying, claiming they โhelp him focus moreโ โ 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 โ 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 youโd 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.
โwhat are you doing?โ he asked, voice low and even.
you didnโt look at him, still massaging serum into your face. โmy skincare,โ you answered lightly โitโs my routine before bed.โ you dabbed some cream onto your nose, leaning closer to the mirror. โyou should start too, you know. your lips are unbelievably dry. a simple vaseline would helpโฆโ you mumbled, half-focused on trying to blend everything perfectly.
sieun rolled his eyes and glanced back at his textbook โ 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 dryโฆ
he stared at them a beat too long.
then, without turning fully toward you, he murmured โcan you help then?โ
you froze mid-pat, finally shifting your gaze from your reflection to him. โhelpโฆ with your lips?โ you asked, blinking.
sieun kept his eyes on the page in front of him, trying for indifference, but his ears were already burning pink. โyou said it wouldโฆ fix it.โ he cleared his throat. โso. do it.โ
your surprise melted instantly into excitement, your whole face lighting up. โreally?โ 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.
โdonโt make a big deal out of itโ he muttered.
you just laughed softly, dipping your finger into the balm as you moved closer to him. โi wonโt,โ you whispered โtilt your head up.โ
and he did. without complaint. without hesitation.
eyes closing the moment your thumb brushed the soft skin of his bottom lip โ 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 didnโt pretend not to enjoy it.
ahn suho เป๊ฑ
โข heโs way too excited, like heโs been waiting his whole life for you to offer to do his skincare
โข he sits down in front of you with that bright, eager smile โokay! iโm ready! use the fancy stuffโ donโt hold back!โ
โข when the cold toner touches his face, he jerks back dramatically โAAHโ itโs freezing?? how do you survive this every night??โ
โข absolutely adores sheet masks โ picks the cutest patterned ones (he picked the one with a tiger pattern for himself to โlook coolโ) and immediately takes photos of both of you
โข when you massage his cheeks, he melts instantly โ he closes his eyes, leaning into your hands โmmhโฆ youโre really good at thisโฆ never stop.โ
โข tries to return the favor but heโs a menace TT manages to poke your eye, wipe half of the moisturizer on your nose, and drop half the serum โwaitโ waitโ donโt move! iโm a professional!โ (he is definitely not a professional.)
โข every step of the routine heโs asking a hundred questions
โwhat does this do?โ
โis this the one that makes me glow?โ
โwill i look like an idol after this?โ
and youโd just giggle โsure, suho.โ
โข keeps checking himself in your camera, tilting his face like heโs on a photoshoot โam i glowing yet?? tell me the truth.โ
โข once you finish, he follows you everywhere, grabbing your hand so you can feel his cheek โtouch it! noโ seriously. feel how soft i am now. iโm like a baby seal.โ
โข and you KNOW heโs going to text sieun about this afterwards lol โsieun-ah! i have a glowing skin now. donโt be jealous.โ (sieun, in fact, doesnโt 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 โ glittery k-pop idol boys staring down, looking absolutely flawless.
he squints.
โhey,โ he calls out, voice full of fake offense โyou donโt like them more than me, right?โ
you laugh, flopping beside him.
โof course not. youโre my favorite boy ever.โ
his ears turn pink instantly โoh.โ he tries to hide his smile by looking back at the posters, but it really doesnโt work.
he leans closer to one of them, analyzing every inch of their faces with dramatic seriousness.
โbut damnโฆ how are they doing that?โ he whispers, awestruck โtheir skinโitโs like they donโt have pores at all. thatโsโฆ illegal.โ
you shrug casually โwell, in order to achieve that you need to do your skincare, suho. wanna try? i have like a bunch of stuff.โ
his head snaps towards you so fast you hear the mattress bounce.
his eyes are shining.
โdoes that mean youโre going to be touching my face the whole night?โ
you flick his forehead โyouโre stupid. but yeah, basically.โ
he sits up straight and throws a triumphant fist in the air like he just won a national championship.
โYES!!โ
and so, you set everything upโtoner, serums, sheet masksโand suho sits in front of you all obedient and excited, legs crossed, hands on his knees like heโs attending the worldโs most important appointment.
โokay,โ you say, opening the toner โhold still.โ
the second the cold cotton pad hits his cheek he dramatically squeals.
โitโs FREEZING, babe. maybe a warning next time???โ
youโre giggling too hard to reply.
he tries to recover his pride by straightening up โiโm fine. iโm tough. continue.โ
later, when youโre smoothing moisturizer onto his face, he watches you with soft eyes, quiet for once.
โhey,โ he murmurs, cheeks glowing even before the skincare kicks in โif i look even half as good as those poster guysโฆ iโm putting this routine on my rรฉsumรฉ.โ
you laugh, tapping his nose.
โyou already look better than them.โ
his blush spreads all the way to his neck.
after you finish, he keeps touching his own cheeks in disbelief.
โbabe. babe. feel this. iโmโฆ squishy.โ
โthatโs called being moisturized, suho.โ
โno. itโs called perfection.โ
he curls into your side under the blankets with a satisfied hum.
โfrom now on weโre doing this every time iโm sleeping overโ he announces.
and honestly? with how happy he looksโฆ youโre not saying no.
oh beomseok เป๊ฑ
โข when you first suggested doing his skincare, his whole body tensed โ not because he didnโt trust you, but because the thought of you seeing every pore, every blemish, every tiny insecurity up close made his stomach twist
โข what if sheโs gonna think iโm gross? what if she realizes iโm not good enough?
โข so he declined quietly, muttering something about being tired
โข you tried to play it off, but he caught the tiny flicker of disappointment in your eyes โ and it hit him like a punch to the chest
โข he spent the rest of the night mentally tearing himself apart for letting his insecurities ruin a moment that couldโve made you happy
โข 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
โข 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
โข the way your eyes sparkled as you picked through the products made something warm bloom in his chest
โข he watched you like you were opening presents on christmas morning โ and for once, he felt proud that he made you this happy
โข gently, almost timidly, he sat beside you and whispered โdo youโฆ think any of this could make my skin betterโฆ?โ
โข you froze, jaw dropping, still examining the products โare you kidding?! this stuff could make anyone glow โ itโs insanely high quality! waitโฆ waitโ beomseokโ are you saying you want me to do your skincare tonight?โ you looked at him with literal stars in your eyes
โข he let out this soft, breathy laugh, cheeks turning pink as he avoided your gaze โiโฆ iโd like that. yeah.โ
โข when you started, he was stiff as a board โ shoulders locked, eyes wide, holding his breath every time your fingers brushed his skin โ nervous, shy, terrified of being seen so closely
โข 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.
โcuteโ you whispered without thinking.
his ears turned red instantly.
you took your time choosing each product โ toner, serum, moisturizer โ 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 โbeomseokโฆ if you donโt like this, i can stop, you know?โ
his eyes widened in panic, hands shooting up defensively โno! no, itโs notโ itโs not that!โ
he swallowed hard, voice dropping to a whisper โi justโฆ if you see me this close, you might realize iโm not reallyโฆ the most handsome guy you couldโve chosen, you know?โฆโ
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.
โw-waitโโ
you leaned forward and placed a soft kiss on the tip of his nose.
โbeomseok,โ you murmured, smiling gently โto me, youโre the prettiest guy ever. i promise.โ
your hands cupped his cheeks as you continued โskincare is supposed to relax you, okay? and if anythingโฆโ your grin turned playful, eyes sparkling โiโm happy i get to touch you more.โ
he let out a shaky breath, arms wrapping around your waist as he hid his face in the crook of your neck, completely overwhelmed.
โyouโre gonna make me lose my mind like thisโฆโ
his voice was muffled against your skin, but you could hear the relieved smile in it โ soft, real, and full of affection he usually kept buried.
and just like that, he finally relaxed beneath your touch.
park humin (baku) เป๊ฑ
โข heโs so excited itโs borderline dangerous โWEโRE HAVING A SPA DAY? LETโS GOOOOO!!โ
โข completely loses his mind over how good everything smells โWHY DOES THIS ONE SMELL LIKE FRUIT SALADโyou sure itโs not edible? the packaging is in cute colors too! looks like candy.โ
โข puts on a sheet mask and snaps multiple selfies, sending one to hyuntak
hyuntak: you look ridiculous
baku: YOU HAVE NO TASTE!
heโs genuinely offended for the rest of the night
โข hypes you up nonstop while you do his skincare
โyour hands are MAGICALโare you secretly a licensed esthetician?โ
โyou should start a business; iโll be your model, your mascot, everything!โ
โข tries to return the favor by rubbing moisturizer on your cheeks, huge smile plastered on his face, though heโs mostly just squishing your cheeks in his huge hands without any real technique
โbakuโit hurtsโฆโ you mumble
โBUT YOUโRE SOOOOO CUUUUTEโ he replies, squishing your cheeks gently like a plush toy
โข takes the praising part way too seriously
โbabe youโre glowingโ
โbabe youโre radiantโ
โbabe iโm blindedโฆ actually waitโyeah, still blindedโ
โข by the end, heโs sprawled on the floor with his sheet mask slipping off mumbling โthat was literally the best day of my lifeโฆโ
you were sitting on bakuโs lap, carefully tending to the small injuries heโd 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 didnโt mind the attention though. in fact, he was grinning, hands resting gently on your sides as if he couldnโt believe you were this close to him.
โyour skin isโฆ kind of dry,โ you murmured casually, tilting your head as you grabbed a small tube of moisturizer โwhile iโm at itโฆ donโt you want me to do your skincare too maybe?โ
bakuโs eyes lit up instantly, as he nodded eagerly.
you tried to open the tube, twisting and pulling, but it wouldnโt budge. you let out an exasperated sigh. โughโฆ why wonโt this open?โ
โohhh, let me help!โ baku said, reaching over, all smug confidence โthatโs why youโre dating an athletic guy, dear.โ
he twisted the cap, pressing a little too hard. suddenly, a blob of cream shot out, landing on both your hands โ and a little splattered onto his chin and your lap.
โHUMIN! this is expensive!โ 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.
โcโmonโฆ donโt be madโ he said with a cheeky grin.
you couldnโt help but laugh, shaking your head, instantly forgiving him. โfine, but youโre helping me clean this up too.โ
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.
โiโm really lucky, huh?โ he whispered quietly, almost shy.
you hummed, brushing a strand of hair from his forehead โyeahโฆ you are. now stay still, mister.โ
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 โ just the two of you, wrapped up in each other.
go hyuntak (gotak) เป๊ฑ
โข acts annoyed immediately when you suggest skincare
โiโm not putting that crap on my face.โ
โpleaseee?โ
โno, iโm an athlete! iโm supposed to have rough skin!โ
โข literally ten minutes later, sighs and sits down reluctantly โfine. but only because you asked.โ
โข pretends to hate everything you do while applying products, but completely melts every time your hands touch his jaw or cheeks
โข complains mid-application โdonโt press so hardโwait, actuallyโฆ keep doing that, it feelsโฆ nice.โ
โข afterward, tries to act tough but canโt hide his satisfaction โโฆmy face feels kinda fresh, i guess. donโt get cocky.โ
โข secretly enjoys the quiet intimacy of the moment, even if he grumbles the whole time
you were curled up on gotakโs 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.
โheyโ he said, already leaning in for a kiss.
you immediately pressed your hands to his chest.
โno. not before you shower, mr. stinky.โ
he froze, offended but amused.
โstinky? seriously? i just carried the whole teamโโ
โand the whole teamโs smell is still on youโ you shot back.
he let out an exaggerated sigh, rolling his eyes but smiling anyway.
โfine. iโll go. donโt run away while iโm gone.โ
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 โ 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 nightstandโฆ to youโฆ to the productsโฆ back to you.
โno,โ he said immediately โno way. not a chance.โ
you looked up at him sweetly.
โbut youโre so fresh and clean right nowโฆ the timing is literally perfect!โ
he pressed his lips together, trying so hard not to look affected.
but then you tilted your head slightly, eyelashes fluttering just once โ and that was it.
โugh,โ he muttered, running a hand down his face โwhy do you have to be cute.โ
he dropped onto the bed beside you like a defeated warrior.
โfine. do whatever. but iโm not promising anything.โ
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.
โyouโre taking this surprisingly wellโ you teased lightly.
โoh shut upโ 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 โ but warm.
โโฆokay,โ he muttered โmaybe it wasnโt the worst thing ever.โ
you smirked.
โso you admit you liked it.โ
โdonโt push itโ he said, ears turning red. then he leaned in, brushing his forehead against your. โcan i kiss you now? i showered, didnโt i?โ
you smiled โyeah. you did.โ
and this time, you let him press his lips against yours.
seo juntae เป๊ฑ
โข so excited but soooo shy about it
โข โiโveโฆ never done this beforeโฆ is it really okay?โ
โข sits nervously with his knees together while you lather foam cleanser on him
โข gets flustered each time your fingers touch his face
โข when you apply moisturizer, heโll whisper โyour hands areโฆ really gentle.โ
โข absolutely loves couple sheet masks
โข โyou look like a cute slime monster.โ
โข wants to try your lip balm and accidentally puts way too much โi look silly now donโt i haha?โฆโ
โข later buys skincare sets for both of you because he thinks itโs โyour ritual togetherโ 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.
โthatโsโฆ actually kinda cuteโ he whispered, pulling his hoodie sleeves over his hands โthe skincare thing. it looksโฆ intimate.โ
you turned to him, smiling โyeah? you think so?โ
he nodded slowly, eyes still glued to the screen โitโs likeโฆ something anime couples do before they confess.โ
you nudged him lightly โwellโฆ we can do it right now if you want to.โ
his head snapped towards you so fast you almost laughed.
โr-right now?? i meanโ uhโ if you want to. iโm fine with it. totally fine.โ 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.
โyou can relax, you knowโ you giggled.
โi am relaxedโ 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 โ so obedient it was adorable.
โyou donโt have to close your eyes yet.โ
โo-oh. sorry.โ
he peeked at you shylyโฆ 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 didnโt want the moment to end.
โone last thingโ you whispered.
he hummed, still calm, still waiting.
you leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss to his lips.
his eyes flew open โ wide, startled, and very, very pink.
โh-huhโ??โ
he looked like his soul left his body for a second.
you grinned at him โthat step wasnโt in the anime, but i added it.โ
he covered half his face with his sleeve, hiding a huge smile.
โifโฆ if we do skincare againโฆ can that step beโฆ umโฆ mandatory?โ
โyeah,โ you whispered, brushing his hair back โevery single time.โ
he looked down shyly, but you could hear the tiny, happy laugh he tried to hide.
geum seongje เป๊ฑ
โข โoh? you dare to touch my face now? thatโs bold.โ heโd scoff, acting like you just challenged him to a duel
โข pretends itโs the biggest inconvenience in the world โ heโll gladly throw punches in a fight, but sitting still for five minutes while you pamper him? suddenly impossible
โข 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, heโll rip it off with an annoyed huff
โข always insists on a condition: if youโre doing his skincare, he gets to hold you in his lap
โข will absolutely pull you closer mid-routine, making you straddle him completely because โyouโre too far, i canโt see you properly.โ
โข keeps smirking at you the whole time, just to fluster you on purpose and make you mess up
โข watches you with half-lidded eyes, gaze thick and hungry, like heโs more interested in you than the skincare (spoiler: itโs because he is)
โข if you tell him to hold still, heโll deliberately move a little just to annoy you and hear you scold him โyou really trust me to sit still while you do this?โ heโll tease, voice dropping almost to a purr
โข after you finish, heโll kiss your palm and say โgood job, pretty girl.โ
you were sitting cross-legged on seongjeโs 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 โ his usual combo. after a moment of watching him play, you huffed under your breath.
โno wonder your skin acts up when you eat this trash all the timeโฆ and with your smoking habits on top of it.โ
you didnโt even mean it as an insult โ just an observation. but the game suddenly paused. seongje turned in his chair, eyes narrowed in that sharp, unreadable way of his.
โyeah? and what can you do about it, huh?โ he leaned back, arms crossed โam i not handsome enough for you like this or what?โ his laugh was low, humorless.
you rolled your eyes so hard at his words it couldโve been audible โall iโm 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.โ
he scoffed, shaking his head โi beat up people for money, babe. you think a guy like me is gonna sit around doing skincare?โ he laughed again โ but this time, the irony wasnโt 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.
โhold stillโ you muttered.
he didnโt listen, obviously. but he didnโt 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 โ 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.
โyouโre cute when you concentrateโ 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. โyou know what,โ he said with a soft chuckle โnow i get the appeal of this whole skincare thing.โ
you yelped when he started to place light kisses along your neck, your grip on the lotion bottle tightening โseongjeโ youโre so stupid! iโm not even halfway done, let me finish!โ
he rolled his eyes, pulling back with a slow smirk. โyeah, yeah. youโre lucky iโm in a good mood.โ
you managed to finish โ though barely โ 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.
โhey, seongje, why do you lookโฆ kinda glowy today?โ
he just shrugged lazily, hands in his pockets.
โyeah, my girl likes touching my face too much.โ
you nearly collapsed on the spot.
and he knew it โ 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 เป๊ฑ
โข heโs initially hesitant, more out of pride than dislike โ acts like he doesnโt need pampering, but secretly enjoys it
โข will analyze every product you use, asking pointed questions about its ingredients or effects, showing his meticulous side
โข enjoys quiet, intimate moments of touch, but rarely verbalizes his appreciation
โข shows subtle signs of relaxation โ slower breathing, softer postureโฆ
โข will occasionally peek at the mirror mid-routine, giving small nods of approval at the results
โข enjoys your gentle touches around his jawline and forehead the most, though heโd act indifferent
โข doesnโt usually like to be fussed over for too long, so shorter, efficient skin care routines are ideal for him
โข appreciates your effort and care behind the routine more than the act itself โ 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 โ the kind of tense that always made your chest ache.
โbaekjin, dearโฆ rest up a bit, hm?โ 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 heโd been neglecting you, even unintentionally.
โiโฆ i canโt just sitโ he muttered, flipping another page, but you were already guiding him gently towards your bed.
โyes, you can,โ you said softly โtrust me. i know exactly whatโs going to help you relax.โ
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.
โโฆokayโ 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 didnโt 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.
