WayV: Your First Date With Them--------------------------------------------------------------------------

WayV: Your first date with them --------------------------------------------------------------------------

❁ [Kun] cliche dinner; A simple but intimate date, a hole in the wall restaurant that you never thought twice about. He starts with his shirt worn neatly, but as time goes on he becomes more and more relaxed and he rolls up the sleeves, unbuttons the top button, his hair is messy from running his hand through it absentmindedly. Compliments that start off confident, but always punctuated by shy smiles and rosy cheeks. He lets you try some of his food and has to catch the smile on his face while you munch and contemplate if you like it. Forgo a taxi so you can walk home slowly together and make the night feel longer, hands bumping together occasionally before he finally grabs your fingers and interlocks them; kisses your cheek tenderly before he leaves you at your door.

❁ [Ten] artsy date; Takes you to a fashion museum and other little exhibitions. Intertwines your fingers occasionally and lets them go because he's that kind of a tease. Speaks quietly and lowly so as not to disturb the people around you looking at exhibits quietly. Bends close to your head when you talk, so you're always catching whiffs of his cologne. Interprets artwork horribly just to hear you laugh, but you leave the exhibition inspired none the less. Bounce ideas off of each other, by the time the date is over you're one investment away from starting a clothing business together. He asks a lot of questions about your home life to know you better, loves talking about childhood memories. Is scheduling the second date before the first is already over before leaning in slowly for a kiss.

❁ [Winwin] late night escapade; Prefers night time because places aren't as crowded, theres more room for privacy. Doesn't want to overdo it on flamboyancy so just takes you to a bar instead. Struggles to look you in the eye but it's because he's so nervous. Prefers to listen to you than to talk about himself, and tries to come up with subtle ways to distract you from how late it's getting so he can make the night feel longer. Spend most of the date walking and talking, faces illuminated by street lamps, soft laughter at the gaggle of club goers acting foolish and drunk as they walk past you. Redirects you nearly three times down a different street when he felt you were a little too close to your home. Mentions having the second date at his place so if it got too late you could just stay over, tries to act cool when saying it; fails.

❁ [Lucas] friendzone purgatory; The kind of date where you're not actually sure if it is a date or not, because you were supposed to be with a group of people and you've never been alone with him for this long before. A casual date, walking around public parks and play areas, buying ice cream at convenience stores and him acting like yours is dripping a mess just so he can have a lick. Lots of banter, playfully pushing him and him accidentally sending you flying when he retaliates with his strength. Both of you being secretly glad you were alone rather than with the group you were initially meeting with, constantly joking about being on a date, but it's becoming less and less of a joke every time you mention it. Playing childish games like "I spy" and Hide and Seek before acknowledging the sun going down and opting to just go back to his and hang for a bit.

❁ [Xiaojun] went on for way longer than you prepared; glancing at the clock you did a double take when noticing the time. The day you had planned was ruined by rotten weather, so you both improvised and did fun activities at your place instead. It was a very low-pressure date; digging out your old board games and losing it over a game of "operation", baking pre-mixed cookies to eat with warm drinks while racing raindrops down a window. Telling each other stories about your childhood; times when you and your siblings didn't talk for 3 days straight, how you broke your leg, recalling the worst first date you've ever been on and him laughing along with you. Dragging all your cozy blankets downstairs to set up in the living room and sprawling out on the sofa. It was halfway through the Studio Ghibli marathon did you realise it was almost midnight and the room had gotten incredibly dark. The rain hadn't stopped, the atmosphere went undisturbed, and you realised you were having too much of a good time, which is why it slipped by too fast.

❁ [Hendery] group arcade date; A date with just the two of you felt like too much pressure, so he opted for a group activity where he could get to know you better. You spent the whole afternoon challenging each other to different games, the competitive spark becoming confused with a spark of chemistry, but fun none the less. Sitting next to each other in the booth of the diner style restaurant, muscles aching from laughter, wiping ketchup from the corner of his mouth. People giving you the side eye because you and your friends are becoming a little too rowdy, placing all or nothing bets on the next arcade game only to take it back and play it again on something else. Falling out of step with your other friends so you can have one-on-one conversations, drawn out hugs when it's time to say goodbye, him texting you not even 10 minutes after he left.

❁ [Yangyang] classic Netflix and chill; Yangyang is young, and says a lot of stuff out of pocket, so the low maintenance date is probably what he's looking for. Arriving at his and immediately going to order a pizza, playfully arguing over movies and bouncing between streaming platforms trying to decide what to watch. Sitting a careful distance away from him to start with but by the end of the night you're shoulder to shoulder and legs pressed up against each other's. Him talking over the movie constantly, having pillows at the ready to throw at his face when he tries to scare you during the horror film you're watching. Looking up at him for a second when he's been quiet for a little too long and immediately feeling his lips capture yours. The next hours are spent watching the movie occasionally, but concentrating more on his hands casually slung around your waist, practically lying on top of each other, the film becoming more of a background noise than anything.

NCT127: When you're a bad student

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

❁ [Taeil] is fighting the urge to be a helicopter boyfriend. Taeil has a healthy respect for your routine but can't hide his face when you said the lengthy assignment is due in 2 days and you've barely started. Taeil is the kind to buy you little sweet treats to encourage you to continue writing, or send you little texts here and there to let you know ~you can do it~. Will sit with you and do something quiet while you work because he knows you'll only leave your workspace and try to find him to distract yourself otherwise. Always thinks you look so cute in your mismatched slouchy outfits for class because you hate making the effort. Plants a little kiss on top of your head every time he walks by you working. When the assignment is submitted he will buy you your favourite food as a job well done, plenty of cuddles as he breathes out a sigh of relief on your behalf.

❁ [Johnny] Loves to joke about you being a lazy student, and is always amused watching you belly-ache over assignments you clearly do not want to do. Will give you the side eye when you whip out your phone to text or doom scroll and likes to take you out somewhere near by to work for a change of scenery. Despite loving to hear you laugh, he knows he's more distracting than he is helping so will exile himself on a mission for coffee while you work in the library. ~"It's for your own good!"~ he'll laugh. After giving you a chance to get in the zone, he'll return with your favourite coffee and read your work proudly over your shoulder. Johnny is the type to give you his hoodie so you can be comforted by some form of his presence and promises with a cheeky wink you can have the ~"real deal"~ after you've submitted your work.

❁ [Taeyong] Is the type to actually show sympathy and will let you bitch about classes, tutors, assignments and the people in your class to your hearts content. Will remind you to breathe with an amused glint his eye when you're done. Will try his very best to help with assignments; google some things here and there or find eloquent ways to make the word count longer. Very good at catering to your needs, will stay as a comforting presence or make himself scarce depending on what's more helpful for you. Wordlessly takes your glasses from your face, cleans the lenses and then places them back on gently because the smudges were bothering him. rubs your back comfortingly when you whine about how you wish you had started the work earlier. organises your notes and lets you have a little cry when it all gets a bit too stressful.

❁ [Yuta] Wants you to succeed in everything you do, but at the same time kind of loves this aesthetic on you. Finds your approach refreshing and likes how you don't pin all your worth on how well you do in classes. Is obsessed with your usual class look, the glasses and messy hairstyles with oversized shirts and sweats- you lowkey feel your worst and yet Yuta is stealing kisses and checking you out like no other. Likes walking you to your classes or meeting you after them, you'll always find him leaning back on the wall casually scrolling his phone and catch his smirk when he looks up and meets your eye. Kind of stays out of your business when it comes down to your work ethic and leaves you to it, but will always be there to comfort you if you were upset by a grade. Will hurriedly pack your bag for you and jog you to class if you're late.

❁ [Doyoung] Respects the way you like to do your work, but will be the first to say ~"I told you so"~ when time has slipped away from you too much. His tactic always includes giving you lots and lots of kisses while gently plying your phone out of your hand and putting it on do not disturb when you're a tad distracted. Gets very humoured when you do a ton of work without even clocking his antics and you make a big song about ~"Getting in the zone"~. Will point blank refuse to come over because he wants you to finish your assignment, but can't hide the smile when he opens his door to you with your backpack and books in hand and chastises you for exploiting loopholes. Is the type to help you with the assignment, but you might have to beg a little before he'll pull out his phone and do some googling. Flicks you on the forehead for leaving it until the last minute- again.

❁ [Jaehyun] Takes a lot of genuine interest in the subject you study, to a point where he enjoys it more than you do. Jaehyun kind of wishes he could partake in the student experience of finding nice places to study, going to socials and parties and fucking around in the library but he rarely sees you doing any of that either. ~"Shouldn't you be working on that thing?"~ he'll question you in good humour while you're lounging on your bed not doing the thing he mentioned. Laughs audibly when he sees your face drop and an ~"Oh shit, yeah"~ fall hurriedly from your lips. Loves telling his friends that you're a student and sharing your major, he thinks you're so smart even if you don't have that much faith in yourself. Will never say no to a college party, actually really enjoys hanging with your friends and sharing drinks from red solo cups with you even though you both know you should be studying.

❁ [Jungwoo] A bit of a clueless boyfriend really, he couldn't tell someone precisely what you're studying and never really quite recognises the urgency of an assignment due in 48 hours. Needs you to tell him how he can help you, but whatever you say he will do to the very best of his efforts. Loves checking you out in your uni varsity jacket and hoodie and laughs childishly when you tell him you got 69% on a test before giving you a boisterous high-five. Finds the bare minimum impressive, if you tell him something insignificant about your assignment he acts like you just blew his mind. Finds a kind of masochistic joy in watching you rush around for your class stuff when he reminded very nonchalantly of the time. Steals your glasses to wear and ruffles your hair when he walks by you with your head in your hands.

❁ [Mark] The most considerate, as always. Sticks out the all-nighters with you out of solidarity, and smiles at you encouragingly with his head resting on the table watching you work. Curates nice study playlists for you. Will talk about all the nice things you'll do once the assignment is over to try and encourage you to stick at it. Splashes out on delivery food and delivers it on a plate with a kiss on the cheek. Scared you to death when you said you'd be studying in the library and he caught you red-handed taking a nap. Likes to steal your varsity jacket but thinks you suit it more. Once spent ten minutes negotiating with you with a wet-wipe when he saw test answers scrawled on the inside of your arm and celebrated with you when you passed with the bare minimum because you did it honestly.

❁ [Haechan] The worst influence but with the promise of a good time. Both of you dying of laughter comparing your god-awful test scores while making a pact to try a bit harder next time. Invites you over with the sincere offer of a study date but procrastination gets the best of both of you with the help of his PS5. Wears matching sweat co-ords with you. Always sitting at the back of the lecture hall to not draw attention to your laughter and talking. Your notebook is full of his doodles and silly notes, as his is full of yours respectively. You guys are the favourite couple to invite to parties because good times and funny memories just follow you around. Genuinely contemplating cheating until you agreed to snap out of it. Instead, you spent three hours to develop a code so you could communicate during tests only for you to completely forget it when the time came. You only started to see true improvement in your grades when you put a healthy wager on who can get the best score by the end of term.

NCT 127: sharing weirdly intimate/romantic moments with them

NCT Dream (+ Shotaro & Sungchan) version -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ❁ [Taeil] sharing food and utensils nonchalantly; It went totally unnoticed by everyone else, but when he took you up on the bottle of water you offered him and he didn't even bother to drink from a different side you became hyper aware of the intimacy. After that you couldn't ignore how he would snag bites of your food, drink from the same drink, even blushing hard at how Haechan would tease you and say you had an indirect kiss while you tried to hopelessly force a narrative that it didn't mean anything. The fluttery feeling of him casually handing over bits of his own food, the almost-embarrassment when instead of just handing it to you he wanted to feed it to you, a look of mirth decorating his face as he held it up teasingly. That feeling of being singled out when he made a huge deal about Johnny drinking his coffee straight from the straw, knowing full well he couldn't care less when you did the same.

❁ [Johnny] When you realise you both are in love with the same band/Tv show/ movie series; That exciting moment when both of your eyes go wide and obnoxious gasps sound out of your mouths, and everybody around you sighs because they know you guys won't shut up about that topic for at least the next few hours. The moment your stomach flips with excitement when someone finally understands one of your references and now you're always seeking each other out to see if you're up to date with the new season/new album. That wonderful feeling of instantaneous bonding that follows through now that you've spent so much more time together. That feeling when you're aware you and him are falling out of step with your group, three steps behind because you're both so absorbed in conversation and nobody wants to third wheel with you.

❁ [Taeyong] When you're both awake at ridiculous times of the day; Do you remember that bizarre feeling of waking up during a sleepover and the world is completely quiet? You feel like you're existing in an alternate universe? When you share that moment with Taeyong it feels both jarring and strangely bonding. When neither of you can sleep and you found solace in his presence, you felt like the only two people in the world while you chatted about literally everything and nothing. Topics getting derailed and going off on tangents while you listened to the trickle of water that was his fish tank. Of course you fall asleep eventually, but you can't really look at him the same way the following morning as you greet him over a bowl of cereal.

❁ [Yuta] Having the most personal and random inside jokes; That hilarious euphoria when somebody said one word that was supposed to have no meaning, but now you're nearly doubled over and your abs ache so much because you're trying so hard to not laugh out loud. Yuta is having the same struggle, you can feel his body shaking in a silent laugh while the person speaking is just watching on confused because what the hell could have possibly been so funny? That weird feeling of intimacy when you're both reminded of the joke and his eyes catch yours playfully and twinkling with laughter, the smirk growing on both your faces because no one will ever understand; they just had to be there.

❁ [Doyoung] When you inadvertently share a big secret; The weird intimacy you now have because in a room full of people, only he knows something truly deep and dark about you. Sometimes when we carry heavy burdens, the weight of them can crush us when we least expect it, it just so happened that Doyoung was on the receiving end of the conversation when it happened. Maybe you were just casual friends before, but now you're a lot closer since he knows to quickly change the topic of convo if it's leading dangerously close to making you upset, or doing you the solid of making excuses for you if you have to be absent for something because of it. His actions read gentlemanly, but his motivations are out of total compassion, the intimacy where he knows you better than anyone.

❁ [Jaehyun] When it dawns on you that you spend more time alone together than you do with your group; Maybe the only reason you know each other was because of a mutual friend, but you couldn't help but feel giddy when he first reached out to you to meet up and it wasn't in the usual group chat. Jaehyun reminds of that scandalous feeling when you worry for a second that your mutual friend might be pissed off that you're hanging out together without them, but that feeling kinda deflates when you watch him flicking through his record collection, no anxiety reading on his stance at all. He's that feeling of a new friendship blossoming, every time you meet up you stay for longer each time and gradually never becoming stuck for conversation. Your mutual friend is starting to get confused when you bring up funny events that they weren't even present for and you realise that you make plans with just the two of you way more than you and your other friend ever did.

❁ [Jungwoo] always brushing up against you or sitting near you; It could have been as nonchalant as his shoulder pressing against yours when he sat to watch something on your phone, the smell of his cologne when he reached across you to hand something over, his hair barely tickling your cheek while he read the screen of your computer. It was these little things that felt strangely romantic, and you always wondered if the feelings were mutual. Jungwoo is a tactile dude, so it was always uncertain if they were just careless touches, or if he knew what he was doing. Jungwoo is that feeling of warmth when you're sat next to each other and his leg is pressing up against yours, he makes no effort to move it, the longer he stays the more comfortable you become and it's really hard not to preen internally when he always makes sure to snag the seat next to you wherever you go.

❁ [Mark] Showing him your childhood bedroom for the first time; That strange feeling of vulnerability when a room you're so familiar with is being ogled by Mark Lee. You sit on the bed as he looks around while trying not to be nosy, making amused comments at family or baby photos, admiring any trivial high school achievements or that one huge collection of items that were your hyper-fixation during middle school. It shouldn't necessarily feel romantic, but when he sits on your dinky bed and puts the teddy bear you've had since you were a baby in his lap, you can't help but feel your heart tug at how none-judgemental he is. Your old bedroom is almost an archive of your young adolescence, your entire personality wrapped up and stored in your Ikea shelves, and Mark wants to learn about all of it.

❁ [Haechan] Both of you being where you shouldn't be; That feeling when your stomach flips and your heart jumps because of the adrenaline flowing, him shushing you but laughing just as much as you are whilst deftly pressing a finger to your lips. You're both in a bit of shit if anyone finds you, but it all just adds to the experience. You're in such close proximity, one baby step closer and you'd be moulded into one entity, but you're trying so hard to not focus on that and concentrate on making as little noise as possible. When the person looking for you leaves, you both vow to never tell anybody what happened, the new pact forcing a bond that may have not been there before. Haechan embodies mischief, he's the master of invoking that feeling of rebellion and excitement, and now that he sees you're not afraid of a little misconduct he's going to seek you out a lot more often.
