BTS When You Catch Them Staring At You:

BTS when you catch them staring at you:

Seokjin:

"Yoongi, can you pass me the salt?", you turn to ask the mint-haired man sitting beside you, flashing him a grateful smile when he reaches over the table with his longer arm, easily grabbing the metallic container and heading it to you.

You continue eating, talking with the members of BTS and laughing at their crackhead behaviour, when you feel that tingling sensation people have when someone stares at them.

Moving your gaze from a pink-haired Jimin, who's enthusiastically telling a story about how he won Jungkook in wrestling, to Jin who's sitting in front of you, you find your boyfriend staring at you with a sparkling eyes, his eyebrows raising slightly when your eyes meet.

You blush when you realize he's been staring at you, and your cheeks turn even redder when a mischevious smirk surfaces Seokjin's full, pink lips, before he winks at you and sends you a kiss, his shameless behaviour making you chuckle fondly and shake your head.

Yoongi:

"Why isn't this working?", you whine, hitting the obnoxious keyboard with your left hand as you stare with irritation at the indifferent screen, a picture of you and Yoongi from that evening when you were both drunk, your boyfriend pressing a seemingly-wet kiss to your cheek, while you smile widely at the blurry front camera.

You sigh, letting your head fall back to rest on the comfortable rotating chair Yoongi brought for you when you started studying at Seoul's University, before moving your head to the side, ready to call your boyfriend, only to find him leaning against the doorway, hands tucked in his gray fila sweatpants and a fond look in his eyes.

"You've been here this whole time?!", you try to sound demanding, but your voice comes out slightly weak and whiny as your boyfriend continues to stare at you, not even pretending to be doing anything else as his lips tilt into a small smirk, and he rolls his shoulders backwards before walking towards you, his black hair barely hiding the mischevious glint in your eyes as he comes to help you.

Hoseok:

You stare at yourself in the mirror, tugging slightly at the hems of the tight red dress you were trying on, slightly dissatisfied by the way the garment sits on your lithe form, when your eyes travel up from your reflection to the face of your boyfriend, who's staring at you from his spot on the couch.

You can't help but chuckle fondly when you see Hoseok's face, his slightly open mouth, dark brown eyes wide and the admiration flooding his features all making you feel warm inside, your heart doing flips in your chest as you turn to look at your boyfriend with a sly smile.

"What do you think?", you ask with fake innocence, watching with laughter-filled eyes as Hoseok comes out of his trance, blinking rapidly before he nods at you, not even bothering to answer you verbally, his aggressive movements making you laugh once again at his cuteness as you go back to the changing room, having decided to buy the dress.

Namjoon:

Your hum when you add some more black pepper to the simmering meat in the black steel pan, breathing in the delicious smell of the slowly-cooking dinner deeply, your humming intensifying into soft singing as you decide you like the way your amateur cooking turned out.

A sudden crash from beside you makes you turn around, slightly surprised when you see Namjoon's eyes snap from your face to the floor, his brown orbs fixating on the broken glass of water on your now-wet parquet with confusion.

"Oops", your boyfriend mumbles after a second of silence, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck as he tries to look anywhere but at your amused features, before running off to the living room, mumbling something like 'I should clean that up...', and you can't help but smile to yourself when you understand Namjoon was staring at you so hard, he managed to knock the cup of water off the counter.

Jimin:

You brush away the golden strand of hair framing Jimin's face, your eyebrows knitted in concentration and bottom lip tucked between your teeth as you fix all the flaws in Jimin's outfit only you can see.

Sighing, you brush away the invisible specks of dust on Jimin's suit, straightening his sleek black tie and readjusting his matching jacket before raising your head, your breath getting caught in your throat when you catch the fond look in your boyfriend's caramel eyes.

"Is there something on my face?", you ask, feeling embarrassed as you slide a hesitating hand down your soft cheek, before sending your lover another confused look, the older responding by sending you a sweet smile, his eyes fleeting to the floor.

"No, you're just beautiful.", Jimin mumbles, his cheeks growing red along with yours, and you bite your lip, feeling your heart expand at the sound of your boyfriend's honest compliment, the two of you blushing like a couple of inexperienced teenagers.

Taehyung:

The attractive young man on the screen swoops down to save the pretty woman without hesitation, his strong arms flexing as he clambers down the five-story building with ease, and your popcorn-filled hand freezes on its way to your mouth, your eyes wide as you stare at the scene unfolding in front of you.

You don't even realize that Taehyung is literally burning holes in your nape until the credits roll around, darkness filling the living room once again, and you look up at your boyfriend, meeting his warm brown eyes already directed towards you, deep and intense with love and admiration.

Taehyung doesn't even try to pretend he wasn't staring at you, instead choosing to tug your closer with the strong hand wrapped around your slim waist, and there's a faint smile pulling up the corners of his lips when a soft blush surfaces your round cheeks. And then he's leaning down to kiss you, warm and familiar like the sun that rises and sets everyday.

Jungkook:

You wake up to rays of sunshine filtering through the window of your bedroom, the familiar heat of Jungkook's arms wrapped around your lithe body, comforting and peaceful, and the smell of pine trees and vanilla, a scent so entirely Jungkook.

Your eyes flicker open slowly, just enough to catch sight of your boyfriend's beautiful face, his dark hair still messy, soft skin slightly puffy from sleep, and a twinkling galaxy shining in his big, doe eyes as he stares at you with a look so intensely loving, it takes all the breath away from your lungs.

"Good morning", you mumble out, your voice still hoarse and deep from sleep, and Jungkook seems to snap out of his trance, his dark eyes immediately lowering as he clears his throat, before looking back up, a soft blush dusting his cheeks and a gentle smile curving his pink lips, and he leans down to peck your cheek. "Good morning, baby."

Stray Kids reaction to you back hugging them:

Bang Chan:

Chan loves all types of affection, especially when they come from you, but there was something about backhugs that made them even more precious. It'll probably happen a few weeks before a comeback, when your boyfriend looks constantly stressed and sleep-deprived, his blonde hair a mess and his brown eyes sporting dark circles underneath. The second you'll wrap you arms around his shoulders, leaning your chin on top of his head, he'll sigh happily, his body sinking into the revolving chair, and his hands will come up to grab your wrist, stroking your soft skin absentmindedly, as if to ground himself, and the two of you will spend the next few minutes in peaceful silence.

Minho:

Minho is the type to tease you a lot, especially when it comes to how cuddly and affectionate you are, but it's just his way of showing love, and he absolutely adores how you cling to him and coddle him. Your boyfriend is probably busy downing water in large, desperate gulps after practicing the band's newest song for an hour straight when you come up to him, gingerly wrapping your hands around his slim waist. Minho will jump, his water bottle almost slipping from his hands before he manages to retrieve it, and he'll turn around to look at you, a frown on his face as he scolds you for scaring him, but he'll still wrap his own arms around you, playfully rubbing his sweaty forehead against your neck, until you whine and push him away.

Changbin:

We all know Changbin is the hard outside, soft inside type of guy, always trying to hide just how whipped he is for you, and failing at it completely. Since backhugs are one of your most deadliest moves, you usually use it on your boyfriend when he is mad at you, for instance when you constantly tease him for being small and cute despite his constant attempts to seem manly and tall. Binnie will face away from you on the bed, scrolling through his phone with a frown when he'll feel you press against his back, your pout clearly felt against his neck as you kiss the soft skin as an apology, and he can't help but a crack a smile at your cuteness, eventually turning around to press a sweet, loving kiss to your lips.

Hyunjin:

Hyunjin is more shy and reserved when it comes to physical affection with you, the tips of his ears constantly coloring as well as his cheeks whenever you're attention is focused on him, but he still loves it no matter how red it makes him. The two of you are probably just walking down the street, swinging your interlocked hands like two children, when you suddenly release Hyunjin, making him frown in confusion before you trap him in a tight backhug, his arms held underneath yours. Your boyfriend won't be able to help the chuckles leaving his throat when the two of you waddle down the sidewalk, hardly immobile, and he'll complain lightly about how hard it is to move, but it's hardly convincing with the sweet giggles leaving his lips.

Jisung:

Han is such a sweetheart honestly, always looking for ways to touch you and for you to touch him, whether it's hugging, hand-holding, hair-playing, and also back-hugging a lot, with Jisung usually being the one to initiate it, so when you do it, he always gets excited. Your boyfriend will just be on his phone in the kitchen, leaning against the counter lazily, when you come up behind him on your way to get a cup of water, wrapping your arms around him tightly and pressing your cheek to the expanse of his broad back. Han will immediately smile like a child, his heart beating in his chest as he wraps his own arms around yours, and he won't let you move anywhere for a while, whining whenever you try to move away.

Felix:

Felix is kind of person who naturally thrives off of physical affection from his loved ones, and he considers it a very important aspect in any relationship, especially yours. The two of you are making brownies in the kitchen, the whole area around you looking absolutely disgusting, egg shells and flour coating the floor, and your boyfriend is starting to clean up, tiredly dragging his legs over to the broom by your apartment door when you collapse on him, wrapping your arms around his waist to steady yourself. Felix will let you lean on him, dropping his own head backwards to lay on your lean shoulder, and the two of you will stay like that for a few minutes, trying to restore your energy and also contemplating life at the sight of the chaos you made.

Seungmin:

Seungmin is constantly singing around the house, whether he's practicing or just humming songs he's been hearing recently, and whenever you hear your boyfriend sing you can't help but stop whatever you're doing and admire his angelic voice. Right now for instance, you're standing outside your bedroom door, watching as Seungmin sings to himself softly, brushing his long, auburn hair in front of the mirror. You don't hesitate to walk straight to your lover, wrapping your arms around him and making him stop in the middle of a sentence, a shy smile creeping on his face when you demand him to continue, still holding him tightly as you press a loving kiss to his back, and Seungmin will agree, his cheeks rosy red as he finishes the song.

Jeongin:

Jeongin is in charge of the food in your relationship, always giving a bowl of steaming noodles or a carefully-made sandwich with a fond kiss to your cheek, and that's exactly what he was doing now, making the two of you ramen for dinner, when you come up to him, drawn to the kitchen by the amazing smell slowly filling the house. You'll wrap your arms around your boyfriend, feeling the way I.N tenses under your arms, slightly shocked by the display of affection. He'll try to play it cool, but he'll be so out of focus he'll eventually push you away gently, stuttering about how hot it is in the room and how he can't focus on the food, but the blush covering his fair skin and the lack of eye contact will tell the truth.

Superm reaction to you being scared of horror movies:

Baekhyun:

This brat will force you to watch horror movies with him, even going as far as lying to you about the film being a rom-com ("I swear to God, babe, it's 'The Kissing Booth!"), but it is only because he's so whipped for you clinging to him with your head tucked in his neck uwu. Honestly, he doesn't care about the movie, too focused on the way you're fisting his shirt like it's your lifeline, and he'll shut the TV off soon enough, wrapping his arms around your waist and chuckling softly to himself as he calms you down ("Oh, princess, don't be scared, I'll protect you.") The night will probably end with Baek singing in your ear until your breathing steadies and you fall asleep, still holding him close to you, and your boyfriend won't be able to stop his grin when he sees your pretty face, pressing a gentle kiss to your forehead. "Goodnight, beautiful."

Taemin:

Why is he so unbothered kkkk? You were probably the one wanting to get your ever-so-calm boyfriend a bit flustered, hoping that the scariest movie of the year will manage to break his walls. But of course you ended shaking with fear, while Taemin stared into the eyes of all the zombies on the screen without flinching once. Your boyfriend will probably be so confused as to why you're hiding behind the couch pillow when you were the one who wanted to see this movie to start with, but he'll still be super soft, pausing the film and pulling the cushion away from your face carefully, smiling unconsciously when you let out a small shriek ("You're so cute, sweetie."). Tae will rush to the kitchen to get you a cup of water and sit by you for however long you need, rubbing your back gently, and just be the perfect boyfriend while you blush at your own stupidness ("You have nothing to be scared of, beautiful. It's just a movie, okay?")

Kai:

I feel like Kai won't even notice that you're hiding behind the couch until the middle of the movie lmao. Like, he'll just be so entranced by everything happening on the screen, his eyes wide and mouth slightly ajar ("Oh my god, does human liver really look like that?"), he won't even realize you're scared to death until you accidentally let out a little whimper of fear. When he sees you curled up into a tiny ball in the corner, he'll be quick to shut off the movie, not thinking twice before rushing to you, thinking you somehow got hurt ("Babe, what's wrong?!"). When you'll explain to him that you're scared, he'll smile in relief before gently tugging your arm and taking you to bed, promising you that he'll never see a horror film with you again ("It wasn't even that good... Definitely not worth the time.")

Taeyong:

The two of you are screaming the whole movie together lmao. I feel like Taeyong will want to protect you when he notices how scared you are, but at the same time he's trying not to piss his pants, so he'll hug you tightly, comforting you and him at the same time. But at some point, when the two of you are practically in each other's laps, eyes wide and quivering and mouth hanging open, he'll save the two of you from future pain, getting up quickly and shutting off the television with a shaky hand. After that, the pair of crackheads that you're will dash to your bedroom, occasionally getting scared of each other and the furniture on the way ("AHH something is touching me!!! Wait- it's just your leg"). When you reach the bedroom, you'll cling to each other tightly, your boyfriend rambling quietly until the two of you fall asleep in each other's arms ("Nothing is going to happen, movies aren't real, it's just actors with makeup on.")

Ten:

So Ten is going to enjoy the movie, while low-key being scared out of his mind lmao. Your boyfriend is definitely the type to catch on pretty soon on how you cower a little more every time there is a jump scare, and he can't help but smirk to himself as he thinks about pranking you. So the next time the murderer appears on the screen, Ten is screaming loudly, causing you to scream as well and yeet yourself off the couch, running down the hallway and towards your room. Ten will be slightly shocked by your reaction, but he's quick to pause the movie and run after you, calling out your name ("Y/N?? Babe, come back.") When he finally finds you, hiding under the covers of your bed, he'll coo gently, picking you up in his arms and pressing sweet butterfly kisses all over your face, apologizing profusely as he does. ("I'm so sorry, angel, I shouldn't have scared you.")

Lucas:

Lucas won't be scared during the movie, rather mildly surprised and slightly taken aback by the gruesome scenes on the screen, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the word 'horror' ("Damn, that's a lot of blood."). The second he'll notice that you're scared though, he's quick to turn off the film, taking off the blanket covering you and tugging you up by your interlaced hands. When you ask him where you're going, he doesn't reply, simply leading you out the door of your apartment. The two of you roam around the streets for a while, listening to the calming sound of the chirping birds and howling wind, Lucas talking with you mindlessly about everything and nothing ("It's just cool how birds can fly, you know?"). Only when you're boyfriend is sure you're back to your cheery self, will he lead you back to your house, still holding your hands tightly in his own.

Mark:

Mark wouldn't even pay attention to the movie, too busy sending you worried glances every few seconds. From the start, he was reluctant about watching a horror movie of all genres, knowing how much you hate spooky things ("Are you trying to torture yourself??"). But of course, he couldn't say no to your adorable puppy eyes and big, sad pout. So he'll be on the edge of his seat the whole film, wincing slightly when another demon appears on the TV, before shooting your trembling form a weary glance. Finally, only halfway into the movie, he gets up to turn the screen off, not being able to take it anymore, before gently picking you up in his arms, bridal style, and taking you to your shared bedroom, mumbling words of assurance in your ear quietly as he does ("Monsters aren't real, babe. You're safe with me.").

Enhypen when you have trouble sleeping:

Heeseung:

I can see Heeseung as the type to suggest singing you to sleep the second he sees you struggling, your eyes closing for a few seconds only to open up again. He's so damn happy, pulling you into his tight embrace without another word, your head placed on his broad chest and his hands running through your soft hair slowly, and he'll start singing to you, his melodic voice making your eyes droop almost immediately. And when he'll look down at you a few seconds later, his voice lowering into a hushed whisper, he won't be able to stop the smile growing on his face at the sight of you snuggled deep in his arms, your face peaceful and breathing steady.

Jay:

Jay will probably watch you fiddle around a bit before deciding to ask you what's wrong, his heart melting a bit in his chest when you whisper that you can't fall asleep, looking slightly guilty for keeping him up. He'll be quick to pull you into a hug, patting your head gently as he does, and will try to help you by humming songs into your ear or just talking to you nonstop, telling you what he's been doing today, funny stories about the Enhypen members, or just random thoughts that pop up into his head. It'll most likely end with Jay's voice slowly growing slower as he becomes more and more tired himself, until the two of you will fall asleep, still intertwined.

Jake:

I feel like Jake will actually enjoy these times during the night, cherishes those magical hours where the whole world is asleep except for the two of you. He'll cuddle you close, keeping your head on his chest so you can feel his soothing, calming heartbeat against you ear, and he'll talk to you. But unlike Jay, Jake will tell you about things that are bothering him right now, what he misses in Australia, will share parts of him that only seem appropriate to share in these special, treasured hours, and when you fall asleep he'll kiss your forehead lovingly, before letting his own eyes fall shut, a weight in his heart now gone.

Sunghoon:

Sunghoon will probably think the best way to help you fall asleep is changing the atmosphere. When he'll see you changing sides every few seconds, mumbling under your breath in annoyance, he'll be quick to flip you around so your heads are pressed together and ask you what's wrong. When you tell him you can't fall asleep, he'll get up and switch on the Aircon, trying to make the room warm and soothing. Then he'll play some slow, relaxing piano songs before slipping back in bed with you and pulling you closer to him, his hands rubbing slow circles over your arms and back, until your breathing evens out eventually, signalling you fell asleep.

Sunoo:

Sunoo doesn't really know the scientifics of helping someone fall asleep, so when you poke him gently, telling him you're having trouble falling asleep in that soft, tiny voice of yours, he'll simply coo, pulling you in for some warm cuddles, before deciding that the best way to pass the time is to watch something on your phone. He'll put on some anime or a movie and you'll watch together, and he'll probably get too into it to notice that you've already fallen asleep, talking with you excitedly about the plot only to notice towards the end that you're far gone, your eyes shut and soft snoring sounds leaving your lips, letting out an embarrassed chuckle before pressing a kiss to your nose.

Jungwon:

Jungwon is more of the worried type, his dark eyebrows furrowing and a frown settling on his pink lips when you tell him you can't fall asleep. He'll be quick to ask why, trying to figure out if something's bothering you. If there is something, he'll talk it out with you, warming you with loving words and calming you down, but if it's just because, he'll be just as helpful, back hugging you tightly and playing with your fingers as he hums your favorite songs to you, pressing gentle kisses along your nape and shoulders until your limbs relax against him, making him smile gently. He'll still wait a few more minutes to check you're not waking up, before succumbing to his own sleepiness.

Ni-ki:

This cute baby boy uwu. Ni-ki will be so helpless and confused when you shake him awake, mumbling that you can't sleep, looking like a teddy bear in your fuzzy pyjamas. He'll try to help you, asking you if you need anything, and when you shake your head no, he'll still get up, bringing you another blanket, the softest one he has, and a cup of water, before lying back next to you, holding your hand gently and rubbing your knuckles with his long fingers, before going ahead to tell you about his day, talking about the new dance he's been learning and the love for his fans and career, until he sees your eyes close, a proud smile twitching on his lips before he closes his own eyes, falling asleep while holding your hand.

BTS when you're lonely:

Kim Seokjin:

It didn't take long for your boyfriend to notice that you missed home more than usual. It made sense, considering it's been more than a year since you've last seen your parents, due to Covid.

Of course, living with your boyfriend in Seoul was a dream, especially since the past year he's actually been at home and not touring around the world. But it still hurt when someone like you, who is so emotionally attached to your family, couldn't see them for so long.

You suppose it was only a matter of time before Seokjin would notice you coming out of the bathroom with puffy, red eyes after a talk with your mom, or staring at family pictures with a trembling bottom lip, your knuckles turning white from the harsh grip on the paper.

But you were trying so hard to hide you anxiety, the worry-filled thoughts and nightmare-filled nights about how your family is doing at the other side of the world, because the last thing you wanted was to add to your boyfriend's list of problems his whiny girlfriend.

"I have a surprise for you.", Jin says out of nowhere, just as you finish dinner, wiping his mouth with a clean, white napkin before setting it down on the table, raising his eyes up to meet your confused ones, the brown orbs glinting with mischief.

It wasn't so weird for Seokjin to surprise you with various presents, whether it was some shoes he saw you searching for on your laptop, a piece of jewelry that he thought would look good on you, or anything else that reminded him of you and he just 'had to buy'.

Before you can even question your lover, Jin is quick to throw an envelope on the table in front of you, simply raising his eyebrows and gesturing for you to open the suspicious-looking object when you send him an incredulous look, not expecting your surprise to come in shape of an envelope.

You don't hesitate too much despite your initial reaction, knowing that whatever is inside the paper cover is guaranteed to make you happy, and open the envelope with careful fingers, taking out the folded, official-looking paper before unfolding it slowly with shaky hands.

"Are you serious?", you deadpan after a few seconds of confused silence, raising your head from the scribbled words written in yellow highlight saying 'i love myself:)' to your laughing boyfriend, his brown eyes crinkled as he slaps the kitchen table with every high-pitched giggle he lets out.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't resist", Seokjin breaths out when he finally calms down, wiping imaginary tears from the corner of his eyes, before taking another folded paper out of the pocket of his blue pyjama top, handing you the white material.

"Go on, open it", your grinning lover encourages you when you stare at him accusingly, not knowing if it'll be another one of his silly antics, and you sigh, reaching out to unfold the paper, before you freeze, not believing the words written before your eyes.

"Oh my god", you whisper, your heartbeat rising and eyes filling with tears as you keep looking at the words written on the magical piece of paper: 'Premission to fly to...", unable to move your gaze away for a few seconds before looking up at Jin's, who's smile turned soft and fond, love filling his dark orbs.

"Is this real?", you utter out, probably sound a little bit crazy as you look at your boyfriend with wide, desperate eyes, your hands clutching the paper as if it's your last bit of sanity. "Am I really going to see them?"

"Yes, princess. You're going to see your family.", Jin smiles widely, his hands already ready to catch you when you practically fling yourself into his lap, hiding your tears in the crook of his neck as the older man rocks you back in forth, pressing kisses all over your silky, dark hair, his chuckles filling your chest with warmth. And even though you can't talk right now, you know he knows how grateful you are.

Min Yoongi:

Since you had a fight with your best friend two days ago, you were down in the dumps to say at least. Your best friend wasn't only the person you relied on more than anyone else, she was practically the only person in Seoul you actually trusted with your heart, aside from Yoongi and the rest of BTS.

It was a stupid fight, so stupid you actually forgot what you were arguing about to start with, but both of your egos were too big to admit your own faults and move on, so in the mean time you were curled up in your apartment, in the pyjama set you've been wearing for the past two days nonstop, licking ice cream off a huge tablespoon gloomily.

Your boyfriend hadn't said anything about your behaviour for the past two days, letting you deal with your frustration and sadness by watching old romantic movies and eating take-out, but you could tell he was starting to lose his patience, judging by the exasperated sighs leaving his mouth whenever you refused to eat a normal meal, or dragged your sock-clad feet around the house aimlessly.

Honestly, you knew you were acting childishly, but you couldn't help the way your loneliness seemed to consume you, the huge spot in your heart that was filled with your best friend's face now eerily empty.

You turn to look at your boyfriend when he sits on the couch next to you, his hands finding their way immediately around your waist, pulling you so you're leaning against him, head right over his heart.

He's still wearing his clothes from work, simple washed out jeans and a thin white tee, but he still seems out of place in your gloomy, lifeless space, his pale skin shining in the dim light coming from the kitchen.

"I saw Y/B/F/N today", he starts, his voice nonchalant, and you try to hide the way your whole body tenses up at the words, your heart physically aching, but you pretend to be indifferent, shrugging carelessly against Suga's lean form.

"She looks horrible, pretty much like you.", you frown at the words, but don't disagree knowing that your lover is saying the truth. You're not even sure when was the last time you brushed your hair.

"I think you should talk to her. Friendships like yours are too precious to ruin because of something as stupid as an argument. If people would just put their egos down and choose peace and love over war and hate, the world would be a much better place."

Your boyfriend doesn't even give you time to answer, simply mumbling 'I better take a shower' before getting up from the sofa, leaning down to press a quick kiss to your forehead before heading towards the bathroom, your dark eyes following his broad back until he disappears.

You're left alone in your thoughts, and you can't help but sigh, cursing under your breath, before opening up your phone, wincing a bit when you're met with a smiling picture of you and Y/B/F/N, the two of you pressed so close together you could think you're twins.

Hesitating, your finger hovers over the second number in your speed dial after Yoongi, named 'Soultwin', before you press the button, raising the electronic device to your ear with shaky hands, hearing the steading ringing in your ear. "Y/B/F/N?"

Jung Hoseok:

You stare at the bag of dog food sitting on the kitchen island, willing it to move out of your way but also making no attenpt to physically touch the lifeless object in front of you and push it away from your area.

The simple bag brings back too many memories: memories of laughter and excited barks, memories of autumn leaves and summer winds, memories of comforting licks on your face and soft, golden fur against your fingertips.

It's been nearly a month since Honey died, and some people would probably find it pathetic just how affected you are, but you can't help the way hot tears spring to your eyes and a sob bubbles in your throat everytime you think about the loyal pet that grew up with you for the past ten years, watching you go through every possible, awful teenage and adult stage without running away once.

You couldn't quite get yourself to throw away all the Bonzo from your apartment, nor the old, worn out red collar he used to wear, or the soft, beige cushion he used to nap on. You know you're only hurting yourself more, but you can't get yourself to care.

"Oh baby.", you don't even realize you're crying until a warm hand pulls you into an even warmer chest, and you breath shakily, burying your wet face into Hoseok's soft, baby blue wool sweater, the material brushing against your skin like a comforting breeze.

Your boyfriend has been nothing less than absolutely angelic since Honey passed away, hugging your crying form at nights when it got exceptionally bad, cleaning the house when you couldn't be bothered to do it yourself, doing everything to make you crack a smile, no matter how ridiculous it is.

It helped fill up the pit of loneliness in your heart a little bit, even if the space there was still painfully obvious, like a piece of duck-tape holding together broken shards of glass that used to be a sculpture.

"I just miss him so much", you whimper into J-hope's neck with a hoarse voice, the fragrant of his cologne, something utterly flowery and sweet like him, calming your nerves slowly until your grip on his sleeves loosens, your lean form slumping against his broad body tiredly.

"I know, sweetie. But you have to stay strong for me, okay? I'll take away all the loneliness, I promise.", your boyfriend's voice is sad, so terribly sad, but no less determined, and when you raise your red-rimmed orbs to stare into his face, watching the dark, serious, love-filled eyes staring down at you, you believe him.

Kim Namjoon:

It's been a few days since quarantine started and you were starting to get bored and exhausted from watching the same old rom-coms on TV and eating the same bowl of healthy cereal every day.

The hardest part was being away from Namjoon. Because BTS were out of the country when Covid started, your boyfriend had to be quarantined with the rest of the band, to ensure your safety and the rest of the South-Korean citizens'.

But even though you knew it was the most logical thing to do, you couldn't help but sulk over the fact that Namjoon could have been right here with you, enjoying some quality couple time that you never really experienced, without work or studies, just cuddling and kissing and sleeping and then all over again.

You couldn't even see him, except for the daily telephone calls and face-timing you were so consistent about, but it was nothing like actually seeing those deep, adorable dimples face-to-face, or the beautiful, brown dragon-eyes, or the tall, broad form of his body.

The shrill sound of the doorbell makes you sit up straight in your bed, eyes wide as you stare at the exit of your room that leads to the hallway perplexed. Who the hell is visiting you at a time like this?

You get up from bed, pushing away the covers that were cacooning your small form as fast as possible before sprinting down the hallway, your fuzzy socks skidding against the shiny, parquet floor, your messy ponytail flying behind you.

You practically body-slam into the door, opening it widely only to furrow your eyebrows when you're met with nothing at all, the hallway completely empty, not even the sound of footsteps being heard.

'I've really gone crazy, haven't I?', you think, shaking your head at your own imagination before starting to turn around, only to stop abruptly when your eyes catch the sight of something unusual on your cream-colored doormat.

It's a small, heavily wrapped carton box, and scribbled on top of it are the words 'For Miss Y/N' in messy, thick black letters, the handwriting unfamiliar to you.

Looking at the box wearily, you think how stupid what you're doing is, before leaning down to pick it up. In your defence, you were desperately looking for anything interesting right now, despite usually being a very responsible woman.

Running back into the apartment, you lock your door once again before dropping on the ground, not even bothering to go sit in the living room, and immediately starting to tear off the duct-tape keeping the brown carton stubbornly closed.

It's a rather funny situation, with you fighting two long pieces of glue, too impatient to go to the kitchen and take scissors or a knife, but you manage to do it in the end, taking out the object inside before gasping, your eyes filling with tears.

It's one of your boyfriend's most adored stuffed animals, a small Ryan plushie, big enough to fit in your hands, the perfect size to use as a small pillow or as a cuddling partner. You've seen it countless of times in RM's studio, perched on the computer table.

Wiping away the salty tears streaming down your face, you grab the small, white note tucked in the character's small, chubby arms with shaky hands, before unfolding it slowly, overwhelmed by the idea that your lover touched the same paper you're holding right now.

And there, in his simple, neat handwriting are the three words that fill your heart to the brim with something you didn't even know you were missing, causing you to let out a wet chuckle of happiness. 'You're never alone.'

Park Jimin:

Since Jimin left for tour, it became much harder to talk, with your boyfriend changing time-zones every few days and your own busy life as a university student, yet the two of you made sure to stay in contact, talking on the phone and facetiming as much as you can.

Your boyfriend was currently in Brazil, getting ready for his concert in five days, and you were positive he was working hard as always to ensure the fans have the best possible performance, yet he still promised to call you when he wakes up, so here you were, sitting on the edge of your bed, already dressed in your Chimmy pyjamas.

It's somewhat nerve-wracking, waiting like this, and you can't help but let out a shaky breath, tightening your dark ponytail like you always do when you're nervous, before swiping to the Facetime app on your phone, burning holes into the screen of your phone as you wait for an incoming call.

When it does happen though, it manages to surprise you, and your phone falls from your hands to the rug-covered floor of your room, and you curse under your breath as you lean down to pick the small device, almost rolling off the bed but too afraid Jimin will hang up to care.

Pressing the answer button quickly, you sigh with relief when a slightly blurry photo of Jimin appears on screen, your boyfriend's tired face stretching into a wide smile when he sees you.

He looks exhausted, his chocolate brown eyes red-rimmed, dark bags framing them, and his hair is still messy from sleep, grey strands sticking out in odd directions, his cute, chubby cheeks even puffier than usual.

"Jiminie~", you cry out happily, scooching even closer to the screen as if that could close the thousands of miles separating you from the love of your life.

Your boyfriend's eyes seem to brighten up slightly at the sound of your voice, and he waves at you, his small hands covered in sweater paws from the oversized jumper he was wearing. "Hello, beautiful."

The two of you talk for what seems like mere minutes when in reality you spent over three hours on the phone, judging by the darkness emitting from your window and the commotion around Jimin, signaling that the rest of the members had already woken up.

You've moved to a lying position, your lithe body tucked into the thick, wool blanket and your head leaning on your forearm as you listen to Jimin describe the tour and how amazing the fans' reaction are.

"I'm really happy for you, Jiminie, but I can't help but miss you so much", you mumble quietly, your drowsiness causing you to lose your filter, and you immediately regret it when your boyfriend's eyes darken, a sad, fond smile appearing on his plump lips.

"I miss you, too.", he whispers, staring at you for another second, before he adds: "But you know I'm always with you in your heart, right? No matter how far you are."

His words make you smile sleepily, nodding into your pillow before you open your eyes again, your lips pulling into a small pout. "I'm sorry for making it sound like it's your fault. I know that you-"

"There's nothing to be sorry for", your lover cuts you off, and the sincerity in his voice makes warmth fill your heart, grateful for the beautiful human in front of you who never gave up on you, even with all your flaws. "Now go to sleep, I'm right here."

Kim Taehyung:

The best decision you ever made was the day you agreed to move in to your boyfriend's apartment in Seoul, after a year and half of dating, a year and a half of love that fills your soul to the brim.

You and Taehyung had met when you were escorting BTS on their world tour as a stage producer, and to say you fell in love with the guy was a major understatement. After less than two years, you're positive Tae is the person you're going to be with for the rest of your life.

But sometimes, like today, it was still hard to be a foreigner in a country like South Korea, not knowing the culture or the language fluently, not having many friends to share your hardships with. It felt lonely and scary.

You walk through the door of your apartment, taking off your shoes quickly and shrugging off the puffy, white coat from your shoulders, letting it fall down to the floor underneath you carelessly.

You're already anticipating Taehyung to exit your shared bedroom the second he hears the door close, and indeed he appears, a bright smile already on his face even before he properly sees you.

He's wearing a cute, brown pyjama set, making him look even more like a oversized teddy bear than usual, the wool material clinging to his broad shoulders and long legs, and his fluffy, chocolate hair falls over his forehead, framing his twinkling, Bambi eyes.

But the big, delighted grin drops the second he sees your own expression, probably looking defeated, like you felt. His thick eyebrows furrow in confusion, pink lips pulling into a frown that you hated being the reason for.

"Hey, what's wrong?", your boyfriend is by your side in a second, his large hands cupping your face tenderly, eyes wide and soft as he inspects you, looking for the reason for your sadness.

"Do you think I fit here?", you blurt out, unable to stops the words from slipping out in front of Taehyung's concern and attentiveness, but regretting them immediately when said man's mouth drops, his expression filled with confusion.

"What do you mean 'here'?", Taehyung questions gently, probably noticing how your cheeks are red with embarrassment, and he moves to brush a lock of dark hair from your eyes before lifting your chin up carefully to look at him.

"I mean here. In South Korea, in your apartment, in your life. I'm so far away from home, from my country, from my people- and I just- I don't know.", your words end in a hushed whisper, feeling the way Taehyung tenses in front of you, the hands on your warm cheeks freezing.

There's a second of silence, and then you're being pulled into a familiar, comforting embrace, Taehyung's strong arms wrapping around your waist, one of his hands holding the back of your head lovingly as he rocks the two of you back and forth.

You inhale shakily, feeling your limbs relaxing in Taehyung's hold, and bury your nose in the older man's neck, breathing in the natural, woody smell of him and letting his hug wash your fears away the way words never could.

"You'll always belong. You'll always belong in my arms, just like I belong in yours. No matter where you are.", Taehyung says after a while, his voice firm and determined as he pulls away to peer down at you, and you can't help but nod, a smile fluttering on your lips as the brown-haired man in front of you smiles back, pulling in for a kiss.

Jeon Jungkook:

Since the day your B/F/N went back home, things have been strange. It's strange to go back home from uni without hugging her goodbye, strange to not meet up at the mall every other day and whine about being too short and not thin enough for Korean clothes.

B/F/N was two years older than you, which meant that she finished her studies at Seoul University before you did. Which meant that she went back home eventually, as reluctant as she was, leaving you alone for the first time.

Well, not really alone. Since you came to Seoul two years ago, you happened to meet the most incredible man on the face of this earth, a man who you can now proudly call your boyfriend and the love of your life. But it was still different without her.

"Hey baby, what's up?", Jungkook's soft voice resonates in your ear, making your lips perk up automatically, pressing the phone in your hand even closer to you, as if it could close the distance between you.

"Jungkookie~ When are you coming back home?", you can't help the way your voice turns high, almost whiny, and you turn bright red, hoping Jungkook didn't notice how desperate and lonely you sound.

It's silent for a minute, the only sound being your heel tapping against the parquet floor of your apartment steadily and the soft breathing from the other side. "Is everything okay, sweetheart?"

You sigh, pinching the bridge of your nose. The last thing you wanted was for Jungkook to go crazy worrying about you, especially before BTS' comeback, when all his attention had to be on the preparations.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just missing B/F/N is all.", you try to force your voice to sound happy and light, but you know Jungkook can easily read you like an open book, can sense the slight tinge of sadness in each word.

"Well, I have practice till late at night today, beautiful.", you deflate slightly at the words, before getting ready to pretend that everything is fine, before Jungkook cuts you off. "But you can come over if you want? I mean it's probably a bit bori-"

"I'll be there.", you cut him off, the wide smile on your face threatening to rip your face apart, but you just love this man so much, the man who doesn't really know how to use his words, but it doesn't matter when he can use his touch and actions to express just how much he cares for you. How much he loves you. "Thank you, Gukkie."

Enhypen reaction to your bad eating habits:

Heeseung:

Heeseung won't know what to do when he sees you starting to eat junk food and skip meals. Initially, he won't want to approach you because he genuinely believes that you can eat whatever you want, and he won't want you to think that he cares how much weight you gain or lose, he loves you just the way you are. But when your boyfriend will see you sneaking out of bed more and more to eat ice cream and chips, and refusing to eat the lunch he makes everyday, he decides that your health is the top priority. Heeseung will be the sweetest, coming over to you and holding your hand gently as he asks you what's wrong. When you admit that you've been missing your hometown more than usual lately, and you've been eating your feelings away, he'll be quick to hug you to his chest, saying that he'll always be there for you and you can come cry on his shoulder whenever you want.

Jay:

Jay is a really observant boyfriend, so he'll know something's up immediately when you start skipping your meals, even if you try to hide it by moving your food all over the plate and eating a few bites before saying you're 'full'. Your boyfriend won't hesitate to confront you, questioning you on why you haven't been eating lately. After trying to avoid answering and make up excuses with no success, you'll admit that you've been feeling insecure lately and you don't like how your body looks. Jay will be so betrayed at the thought that you don't think you're beautiful like he does, that he might even get a little angry, scolding you for letting these stupid thoughts enter your mind. But if you'll start crying, he'll soften quickly, reaching out to pull you into his embrace while apologizing, smoothing down your hair with the palm of his hand and leaving sweet kisses all over your head.

Jake:

Jake is really worried when he sees you start to limit your meals to a measly salad during lunch and a cup of coffee in the morning. Your boyfriend is used to you being in the kitchen most of the time, experimenting with Korean food or baking cookies for fun, and he can't help but feel concerned at how empty the kitchen came to be. Your boyfriend will be shocked when the answer to all his questions appears one night, when he catches your phone open on a bunch of hate comments on one of your Instagram posts. Jake won't be able to stop the tears from forming in his eyes when he understands that these disgusting people online hurt you to the point of dieting, and he'll run to you, gathering you in his arms and kissing you all over your face, mumbling over and over again how beautiful you are and that you don't need to change a single thing about yourself.

Sunghoon:

Sunghoon will be quite shocked when he'll walk into your apartment only to see you sitting inside a small mountain of chocolate wrappers and empty bowls of store-bought ramen. Your boyfriend hasn't seen you in a while since you're really busy with exams and haven't really had time to meet up, so your communication was limited to Facetiming and phone calls, and Sunghoon didn't know that you were so busy studying you didn't even have time to make food, skipping meals and eating snacks or fast-food you could make in a few minutes. Your boyfriend will scold you for not setting your priorities straight and will remind you that being in good healthy is necessary for acing your exams and staying in focus. This sweeties won't hesitate to rush to the supermarket and buy your groceries for a healthy, filling meal, and will take it upon himself to send you text everyday from then on, reminding you to stop studying and eat.

Sunoo:

Sunoo will be very surprised and sad when you announce to him that you're going to start a diet. Your boyfriend knows that you don't really like how you look, since you were constantly complaining about being too chubby and not fitting in your clothes, but he always did his best to get your mood up by complimenting your looks and telling you not to compare yourself to people on social media or idols. Sunoo, being the sweetheart he is, will feel like a failure for not being able to reach out to you and erase your insecurities, and he will get very emotional and might even cry to you, feeling despair that he can't get his point across and make you understand just how amazing you are, inside or out. Still, if you choose to diet, he'll be the most supportive boyfriend, making sure not to eat unhealthy food next to you and cooking you nutritional, creative meals.

Jungwon:

Jungwon is very protective of you, always making sure you eat three meals a day, whether he is making you food himself or calling you to make sure you ate, so you will make sure to hide the fact that you're dating from him, eating all your food when you're together, but on days he was too busy to meet up, you wouldn't eat at all, lying to him. Jungwon will find out about your diet accidentally, when he'll make a surprise visit to your apartment, finding you lying in bed with your phone, a few minutes after texting him that you're busy making supper now. Your boyfriend will understand something is up, and will question you about it. When you'll admit to being on a diet, avoiding Jungwon's eyes shamefully, your boyfriend will be quick to raise your chin, forcing you to face him, and will assure you that he's not mad, and that you can tell him everything, even if he might not like it.

Ni-ki:

Ni-ki won't notice you're on a diet, too busy getting ready for Enhypen's upcoming comeback to eat with you, your communication limited to texts and phone calls. But when he'll invite you over to the dance studio, wanting to show you the choreography for the main track, he'll notice how big your shirt looks on you, the jeans that used to cling to your thighs now looking undeniably looser. Your boyfriend will question you immediately, his face dropping when you admit that you've been dieting for the past few weeks. Ni-ki won't know what to say at the start, opening and closing his mouth in shock, but then he'll try to talk you out of it, explaining to you about his own personal stories that he heard from idols and trainiees that starved themselves, and how important it is to put your health first. He'll also mention that he thinks you're perfect the way you, smiling shyly when he does.
