Sanemi lashing out on his pregnant wife only to beg her for forgiveness later

Pairing: Sanemi x pregnant!reader

Word Count: 3,1k

Synopsis: Like every week, you find yourself on your way back from Shinobu's estate and your pregnancy check-up. Little did you know what horror awaits you at your own home with your husband almost killing two kids...

Warnings: Sanemi is mean in this one and I mean it, extreme hurt but also comfort in the end so don't worry, full Shinazugawa package regarding language and violence lol, not proofread because I have to leave now

Thank you sooo much for that cool request @itsmscoco and I'm sorry it took a while. I really hope you like what I came up with 🤍

You rub your minor belly. For a woman, a pregnancy should feel like a trip to heaven. After all, you are blessed with developing a child that is half you and half your husband. Oh, your beloved and surprisingly gentle husband who always makes sure that you get enough sleep, that you nutrition yourself properly. But even the wind hashira can’t do a single thing against your constant sickness and pain.

“Please try this out, (y/n). Don’t hesitate to come here again if you need something else. You really have an unfortunate pregnancy when it comes to nausea”, Shinobu comments gently while giving your belly a little massage.

“Don’t get me wrong, I am so excited about the honor of caring for a child in my own body. But honestly, I’m so glad when this pregnancy is over”, you huff while taking a deep breath in.

Please, don’t vomit all over the insect pillar who’s just trying to help. You’ve been here what feels like everyday since finding out you’re pregnant. Well, to be exact, Shinobu is the one who suggested that you might expect a child.

Because of your never-ending sickness.

“Oh, there’s nothing to get wrong at all! After all, your pregnancy is a rather difficult one. But I’m sure Shinazugawa is taking good care of you!”

“He definitely does. My husband is an angel”, you reply in an instant.

You can’t wait to go back home. Even though your sleep-drunken eyes won’t be able to stay open longer than maybe a few hours, even though you weren’t able to catch a proper glimpse at Sanemi’s part in the on-going hashira training until now, you can’t wait to go back home. Back into your estate, back into the arms of your beloved husband.

“Not quite the codename I’d use for him, but that’s just what love does, right? I will send a kakushi along with you. Otherwise, Shinazugawa might show up and threaten me”, Shinobu jokes while helping you to get up.

“Thank you for your help. Again.”

You pull the insect hashira into a deep hug. How lucky you should consider yourself for the opportunity to call Shinobu your friend, that Sanemi laid his eyes on you. Out of all the countless women around, the ones with faces like porcelain and bodies so well-formed you can’t hold a candle against every single one of them. But still, he chose you.

“Come on, (y/n). Why are you crying?”, Shinobo whispers into your ear while rubbing small circles onto your back.

“I’m just a little overwhelmed from everything I guess”, you mumble against her comforting shoulder.

Just a few months ago, you would have laughed at anyone who told you that your life would turn out like this. Of course, you’ve lost countless good friends and family members on the way and living with a suborn husband like Sanemi isn’t always easy. But somehow, the two of you always make it work.

Right?

-at the wind hashira estate-

“We are almost there. Are you feeling alright?”

“Oh, don’t worry about me. I’m just a little tired from walking, that’s all!”

Truth is, your feet hurt like hell. Shinobu reported about women who don’t even feel their baby until the second trimester. Why are your feet already swollen, your belly bloated, your guts constantly turning? And there’s still so much ahead.

“Looks like Shinazugawa-sama received a new bunch of trainees after the other corps members all landed in Kocho-sama’s hospital wing”, the kakushi next to you comments dryly.

“Was it really that bad?”

Of course you heard about the rather brutal training methods of your husband. After all, even the walls of his estate aren’t thick enough to stop every single scream from reaching your ears. But still…

“It was pretty bad. Some of the-“

Glass cracking. Screams from afar. Out of instinct, you pick up your pace until you dash towards your home, sweat now dripping from every pore. What happened? Is Sanemi alright? He wouldn’t leash out on one of his students like that. Something must have happened. A demon? No, it’s still daytime. But what is it?

“He’s back! He’s back! That cold-blooded man! Lie down and pretend that you’ve fainted!”, a blonde-haired boy screams while almost collapsing onto the floor.

“What are you talking about? What’s going on here?”, you press out.

Your lungs threaten to fail you, breath already tasting like pure iron.

Until your eyes find Genya.

Your guts twist and turn in every direction, almost force you to vomit all over the place. Genya shouldn’t be here. Out of all people, it shouldn’t be him. And who’s the boy next to him. That familiar scar, you’ve seen that boy before. Is it possible that…

“Kamado Tanjiro”, you breathe out.

Maybe that is even worse.

Your eyes dart around the area without an aim. Where’s Sanemi? Did he find them already? They need to leave before he finds out that they’re here, carry on with another hashira training.

“Please stop now!”, Tanjiro suddenly shouts while stretching out his arm in defence.

An uneasy feeling crawls up your spine, the dark claws of sickening foreshadowing. All you can do is standing death still right where you are and watch in sheer horror as your husband stomps out of your estate motion.

Is that your husband you love and adore, though? You know how untamed he can get especially when getting confronted with his painful past. It was never easy for him to see Genya join the demon slayer corps or realize that his mother could have been saved like Tanjiro’s sister.

But never in your entire life have you seen him like this. The empty shell of your husband, muscles tensed to the maximum and his empty orbs directed towards the two boys in front of him.

In this very moment, you’d trust him to actually kill them.

“What are you going to do? Are you planning to kill Genya?”, Tanjiro continues passionately.

Your glossy orbs are set on your husband. Would he really do something like that? What if you witness the father of your unborn child taking the life of two other human beings? Your heart can’t take it, knees threaten to fail you.

“Hell no, I’m not going to kill him. It would be easy enough to kill him, but since it’s against the rules and all…I’m going to ruin him beyond recovery!”

Until your blurry head finally makes a decision and allows your feet to run.

Straight towards the two boys.

Straight into the firing line.

Straight into the sight of your now maniac husband.

“You won’t do any of these things, you hear me?”, you jeer at him with your new-found courage.

“(y/n)”, Genya breathes behind you.

“How dare you to talk to innocent children like that, Sanemi?”

The man in front of you furrows his eyebrows, hands clenched into tight fists while taking a step towards you.

“Get lost. Right now”, he hisses through gritted teeth.

You swallow hard, all nerves now tingling in sheer horror. This is the first and last warning, without any doubt. The look on his stone-cold face tells you more than urgently that Sanemi isn’t playing, that he doesn’t want you here.

Maybe it’s best if you go back inside and pretend that nothing happened. He himself said that he won’t kill them, after all…

“I’m not leaving”, you bite back.

But that would mean leaving Genya alone. That would mean giving up all of your principles.

“Will you act out like this towards our child as well?”, you continue while growing bigger and bigger in front of the two boys.

He might be your husband, the love of your life. That doesn’t mean you’ll always have to do what he tells you, tough. Instinctively, you clench your hands into tight fists with your glossy eyes almost piercing through him. Enough is enough.

“If our child acts as dumb as you do, I sure as hell will!”

Oh.

Your heart drops to the floor when a nauseous wave of agony hits you with full force. Sanemi is and has always been a hot-headed man who never thought twice about the things he said. But never, not even once in your entire relationship he insulted you.

Until now.

“Is this really how you feel about me? We should support each other, you should listen to me as well as-“

“Spare me with that bullshit, (y/n)”, Sanemi spits at you.

“Get.out.of.the.way. Can’t you hear me?”

It’s like you stop living for a moment. All this time, you did your best to understand him and his grief. Everything Sanemi does comes with a logical reason behind it, even though it’s hard to see from time to time. But lashing out at you like that?

“Stop being so disrespectful to me right now. I am your wife-“

“Right now, you’re my problem”, he jeers back.

“And now get off my sight and let me finish this real quick-“

You don’t know what made you act the way you just did. Was it his cruel behaviour, the way his words cut through your heart like a thousand knives? Before your husband is even able to finish his sentence, your palm races towards his cheek with full force.

The world around you goes silent, frightful gazes glued onto you while you can’t stop your tears from falling anymore.

“Is this how you’re acting around your pregnant wife by now, how you’ll treat innocent children? If that’s the live you chose, I’m not a part of it anymore”, you hiss through gritted teeth.

Suddenly, the urge to get as far away from him as possible becomes unbearable. Your feet start sprinting towards the estate on your own, carry you into your now so empty-feeling bedroom.

And finally, you allow yourself to break down and cry.

Is this really the man you love, that you’d give your life for? Your shaky fingers caress your belly mindlessly.

You can’t stay here. Not when Sanemi showed you a completely different face today. Not when this place doesn’t feel like home anymore.

-a few hours later-

“Fuck!”, Sanemi cries out on top of his lungs while dashing towards Obanai over and over.

Why can’t he get your stupid words out of his mind? The way you stood there with tears in your eyes, how he was literally able to hear your heart crack when those damned words left his mouth. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt you, to drag you into the fuckery with his little brother and that Kamado boy.

But why did he say all those dumb things, then?

“You seem off, Shinazugawa”, Obanai comments dryly, hitting the wind hashira with full force again.

“I guess I fucked up”, Sanemi mumbles.

What if you won’t forgive him for today? Your last words haunt him since the moment you left him standing in the rain.

“I bet you can talk your way out of it-“

“Hell nah. I don’t think she wants to see me tonight.”

“Did you ask her, though?”

“Who the hell do you think you are anyway? You’re the one to talk, not able to confess your feelings to Mitsuri”, Sanemi barks at the man next to him.

“But yeah, maybe I should get going…”

Coming home never fuelled him with so much fright. What if you’re still angry at him, if you refuse to even talk to him? Or even worse, what if you’ll really leave him?

Sanemi’s guts turn in an instant, feet now picking up their pace with every step. He can’t lose you. Not you, the light of his life. Not when you are the only ray of sunshine in this rotting hell. What the hell did he do? The fact that he even raised his voice at you is unforgivable.

Finally, his fingers grab the door that leads to your shared bedroom, finally he’s able to make up for his mistakes of today-

His eyes widen in sheer horror.

You’re gone.

Right there where your head should rest, there’s absolutely nothing.

Panic starts rising up his chest, forces his heart down his throat.

Did you leave?

He yanks out of your shared room, eyes roaming around each and every corner of your estate. But you aren’t there. You aren’t here.

“My lady is at the love hashira’s estate.”

Sanemi darts up immediately, greeted by the oh so familiar voice of your personal crow.

“Is she fine, why did she-“

“With all due respect, I suggest you to control yourself before making any more insensitive comments to my lady-“

“Who the hell do you even think you are you-“

“Your earlier spoken words really troubled her and my lady certainly does not deserve that.”

Without another word, your crow disappears into the darkness of night again.

Sanemi swallows hard. Fuck, did he really hurt you that badly? He never wanted you to feel bad, never wanted to hurt you. Damn, he only wanted to show Genya and that Kamado boy their places. It shouldn’t have hit you. Out of all people, why did he have to hurt you?

“I need to tell her”, he mumbles under his breath before dashing towards the love hashira estate.

-at Mitsuri’s-

“I can’t believe Shinazugawa said something like this to you, (y/n)! You are super far away from being dumb, after all! Here, eat another pancake and stay as long as you want.”, Mitsuri babbles while handing you another plate.

Your dry eyes are barely able to stay open any longer. All the grief, explaining, fighting and crying did apparently really wear you out. Good for you Mitsuri’s estate is near by and you just know she’ll always open her arms for you.

“Thank you so much for taking me in, Kanroji. I really don’t deserve your kindness”, you sniffle.

“You have to be joking, (y/n)! It’s my duty as your friend to be there for you anytime you need me! And also, I-”

Three violent knocks on Mitsuri’s wooden door almost send you over the edge. It’s past after midnight, the time closer to the morning than evening. Who would knock on Mitsuri’s door this late at night?

“Do you think that’s a demon?”, you mutter in horror, both pairs of eyes set on the door.

“I don’t think so. Let’s see!”

Before you’re able to stop Mitsuri, she rips open the door.

And reveals no other than your husband.

“Sanemi”, you breathe out.

Tears start swelling up your eyes in an instant when a flood of memories crushes you all over again. Just a few hours ago, your husband made very clear that he doesn’t want to see you again anytime soon. How did he find out that you’re here?

“(y/n), can we…have a talk?”, he mumbles with icy voice.

“Do you want to leave me?”, you blurt out.

“What?”

Is that really how you feel, what you think of him? That he’ll turn his back on you after a fight? He did say all those nasty things to you, though.

“I think I’m going out and…cook!”, Mitsuri announces while sprinting out of the door, leaving you alone in the room with all that tension and him.

Him, the man you love more than anything else in this world. And also him, who broke your heart like he never did before.

“You have to be kidding me”, Sanemi mutters under his breath.

You turn away before you lose your composure completely.

“Why are you here, Sanemi?”

“Do you really think I’m here to dump you!? You, my pregnant wife!? You can’t be fucking serious about that!”

In the matter of seconds, you find yourself surrounded by his usual so comforting arms that now hurt like daggers against your skin.

“Please, let me go, I can’t do this ri-“

“(y/n), please.”

His suffocated voice forces your eyes to dart upwards.

Instantly, your heart drops to the floor.

Is this really your husband, crying against your shoulder while pressing your body against his?

“I’m sorry for all the shit I’ve said, I’m sorry for making you feel this way. I’d never leave you, not when I’m even lucky for calling you mine. I shouldn’t have dragged you into this, I just…I just can’t stand them…”

“Sanemi…”

“And I get that I don’t deserve you and that I’m a jerk for hurting you. I know you could’ve had every man you wanted-“

“Sanemi!”, you snap at him, holding onto his face tightly.

“But you’re the one I want”, you finally cry out.

“But your words hurt me. Is this really how you feel about me? Do you really think I’m a burden?”

“I was out of my fucking mind for saying that to you! You’re my blessing, my everything, the sunshine in this rotting hell. You’re…You’re my wife, right?”

That innocent look on his now tear-soaked face runs shivers down your spine, reminds you that even though he acted out today, this man is still the Sanemi Shinazugawa you fell in love with years ago.

“I am your wife”, you press out before a new wave of tears haunts you down.

“I’m so sorry, (y/n). So so sorry”, he mutters again and again while kissing every tear away that escapes your eyes.

“And I’ll never talk to you like that again, I promise.”

“Will you promise to not treat Tanjiro and Genya like that ever again too?”

Sanemi shifts his weight underneath you, his orbs growing hard again. Was this too much to ask for? No. Even though you love Sanemi’s rough side as well, he simply can’t do something like this again. Not when you’re his wife, not when you are expecting his first very own child.

“I will. But only if these jerks leave me alone”, he grumbles before giving you a passionate kiss.

“That might be manageable. I want to go home now…”

“No problem, I’ll carry you-“

“You really don’t have to carry me-“

“Oh, but I sure as hell will.”

“HAVE A GOOD NIGHT YOU TWO! AND DON’T ACT LIKE A JERK AGAIN, SHINAZUGAWA!”

“Did you have to tell her everything?”

“She’s my friend, Sanemi. Of course I had to.”

╰ ౨ৎ LUNA-VERSE MASTERLIST

S.COUPS & LUNA ─── CheolNa

i. OVERVIEW

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ dynamic in one sentence:

an ex-admirer turned protector turned fake boyfriend turned bestie who’s lowkey still in love with you but is also rooting for your fiancé who he also has a strange relationship with… it’s complicated.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ first Impression vs. now:

trainee Seungcheol was the second to approach Luna (right after Jeonghan) and was immediately taken aback by her face. Literally gawked.

“I’m not even exaggerating. I looked at her and was like… ‘oh, damn.’” – Seungcheol, on the show Goblin Who Steals Wisdom.

he used to call her ‘Visual Princess Trainee’ and teased her relentlessly— stealing her food, tugging her braids, scaring her when she entered the room, poking her cheek just because she flinched and pouted every time.

and according to Luna: “He was so annoying. I once told him to shut up and he said, ‘You’re too pretty to be mean to me.’ like— what are you supposed to say to that?”

later in a casual group live, Luna calls him out: “Cheollie was so annoying during our trainee years. He used to tease me so much during practice or during break… constantly he would annoy me constantly.”

Seungcheol (grinning): “I liked you, duh. That’s what teenage boys do when they have a crush on a pretty girl.”

cue 5-second pause and Luna choking on her water.

now, they’re almost too comfortable. like childhood best friends who flirt like exes but never crossed the line— except that one time he said “If Jeonghannie fumbles, I’m next in line.” and no one knows if he was joking or not.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ how they got close:

Seungcheol took his leader-of-the-pack role seriously, even as a trainee. Luna, the only girl in the room half the time, brought out his protective instincts early.

he used to walk her to the subway station whenever she needed to go somewhere. waited outside the bathroom during late practices. carried her backpack. no one asked. he just did. when Luna fainted from exhaustion once, Seungcheol was the first to sprint across the room and lift her up, bridal style. no hesitation.

“I’ve always felt responsible for her. Not because she the only girl. Not because she’s weak. Not because she’s not capable of handling herself. Because she never asks for help, and I can’t stand that.” – Seungcheol, in Hit the Road Documentary.

ii. DYNAMIC

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ energy together:

weirdly not platonic. it’s giving fake marriage pact energy. it’s giving ‘if we’re single at 40, we’ll get married’ type of energy but also ‘don’t touch her or i’ll kill you’ vibes.

they’re flirty without meaning to be. Luna adjusts his collar. he ties her shoes. Jeonghan is constantly side-eyeing them like, “Should I leave??”

Seungcheol once told a staff member: “No, I’m not her boyfriend. I’m her emergency husband right after her actual emergency husband.”

they’ll be mid-bickering and Luna will suddenly rest her head on his shoulder and pout. Seungcheol won’t blink. just puts an arm around her like muscle memory.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ the vibe when it’s just them:

soft. calm. gentle chaos. Seungcheol does things immediately when Luna asks.

Luna: “I’m craving iced americano.”

Seungcheol: already halfway to the café “Say less.”

Luna is the only person who can make him lie down and nap when he’s burnt out. he listens when she speaks— like really listens. Luna knows how to handle his leadership stress. She’ll say, “You don’t have to do everything. You don’t have to carry the burden alone. Take a breath, Cheollie. The world isn’t asking you to be perfect, just present,” and suddenly he’s tearing up behind his hoodie.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ what each brings out in the other:

Seungcheol brings out: Luna’s bratty, spoiled, but also vulnerable side. she lets herself be taken care of by him— something she rarely allows with others.

Luna brings out: Seungcheol’s softest, gentlest side. she makes him drop the tough leader facade and just be… he becomes baby, actually.

he calls her out when she’s pushing herself too hard. she calls him out when he’s bottling things up. they reset each other’s nervous systems.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ roles they play in each other’s lives:

Seugcheol for Luna: big brother? teammate? ex-admirer? emotional support husband? guard dog? all of the above.

Luna for Seungcheol: his emotional anchor. his reality check. the only person besides Jeonghan who can tell him “no” and he’ll actually listen.

Luna says: “He’s Jeonghan’s best friend, but he’s my guardian angel.”

when Jeonghan and Cheol argue (because of course they do), Luna is Switzerland— but more powerful.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ go-to activities / traditions:

shopping— Luna shops. Seungcheol pays. that’s the tradition. He jokes she has him under a financial curse.

“She smiles and suddenly I’m buying five shades of the same lipstick.”

eating buddies— always ordering way too much. Luna takes aesthetic pics. Seungcheol’s halfway through the meal already.

late-night drives— Seungcheol plays ballads. Luna controls the playlist after two songs.

he buys her hair clips. she picks out his cologne. they once wore matching sunglasses for a week by accident and didn’t change it when people teased them and pointed it out.

most recently pet dates— ever since Luna received Bugs, she and Seungcheol occasionally have pet dates with her bunny and his dog Kkuma.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ inside jokes / recurring bits:

the nickname bit— Seungcheol started calling her ‘our baby’ in group chats just to mess with Jeonghan who didn’t mind. it stuck.

marriage pact— Seungcheol: “If Jeonghannie ever fumbles, you know I’m next in line.”

Luna (without missing a beat): “He’s not. But you can be the flower boy.”

lip balm tax— Luna always steals his lip balm. Seungcheol carries an extra now just for her.

the ‘Daddy Cheol’ jokes— born from a fan tweet, now a cursed part of their dynamic. Luna leans into it. Cheol denies it— badly (he likes it).

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ routines / habits:

Luna grabs his hand when she’s anxious. he rubs his thumb across her knuckles. Seungcheol puts her hair behind her ear when it falls into her face. she lays her head in his lap during long rehearsals. he guards her like a security system.

during comebacks, Cheol always sneaks her favorite snacks into her bag. “Eat, Jiyeonie. You’ll yell at me later if you’re hungry.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ their most iconic shared moments:

that viral concert fancam— Luna jokingly hip-bumps Seungcheol on stage. he hip-bumps her back, she stumbles, and he catches her with one hand like a k-drama male lead. the clip? viral and everywhere.

Knowing Brothers show clip— MC: “S.Coups, who’s the most attractive in Seventeen?”

Seungcheol (without blinking): “Luna.”

Joshua (offended): “Try again.”

Jeonghan (confused): “Coups is right, why?”

that one live— Luna called Seungcheol ‘my little sugar daddy’ and then immediately carried on like nothing happened.

iii. NICKNAMES

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Luna’s nicknames for Seugcheol:

Cheol, Cheollie, Coupsie, Cherry Baby (for the chaotic flair), Daddy Cheol (jokingly, mostly to provoke him), My Wallet, Sugar Daddy Cheol

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Seungcheol’s nicknames for Luna:

Jiyeonie, Nie, Nie-Nie, Our baby, Our Princess, Softie, My Girl (playfully, in front of Jeonghan, to start drama)

iv. CONTACTS

cheollie baby & jiyeonie baby

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact names:

one day Seungcheol peeked at Luna’s screen while she was texting and saw his name saved as ‘Cheollie baby’.

Seungcheol: “Wow. I get the baby suffix?”

Luna: “Don’t let it get to your head.”

Seungcheol: changes her contact name on the spot. “We’re cute like that,” he says to Jeonghan. not long after Seungcheol told Luna, “Jeonghan almost blocked me.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact pictures

Seungcheol’s pic: taken at the practice room, Luna secretly snapped it when he was complaining about a game update.

Luna’s pic: she sent it while in full glam, captioned “matchy matchy” with a cherry emoji.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ have they changed their contacts over time?:

nope. It’s been the same for 3 years. neither of them is allowed to change it. it’s an unspoken rule.

“It’s cute,” Luna says.

“We’re cute,” Seungcheol followed.

JEONGHAN & LUNA ─── JeongNa

i. OVERVIEW

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ dynamic in one sentence:

twin flames turned lovers turned soulmates— chaotic fairytale-like royalty with a strangers-to-besties-to-lovers arc that had no business being this fated.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ first impression vs. now:

Jeonghan was the first trainee to approach Luna when she joined— unbothered by her aura, totally intrigued instead. she was shy, a little aloof, and carried herself with this cool confidence, and he thought, “Well damn. Who is she?”

Jeonghan introduced himself and the rest was history.

he sat next to her one day and offered her banana milk like it was a peace treaty. he teased her for wearing her hoodie strings unevenly. she looked at him like, “Who even are you?” they were instantly on each other’s radar but pretended they weren’t. classic teen k-drama behavior.

Jeonghan: “You always sit alone. Are you like… mysterious or just anti-people?”

Luna: “I just don’t like talking people.”

Jeonghan: “…but you’re talking to me?”

Luna (giggling on the inside): “Unfortunately.”

Jeonghan once said in a Weverse live years later: “When Jiyeonie first joined, I thought she was the prettiest girl I’d ever seen. I was also a little scared of her. She was like a hawk in a room full of chickens. She had that ‘don’t talk to me unless you’re interesting’ vibe. So I tried to be interesting.”

Luna revealed in a magazine interview: “I was so shy at first, but Jeonghan made it easy. He kept showing up until I let him in.”

They were secretly crushing on each other for years but thought the other didn’t feel the same. best friends with sexual tension so intense their members had to separate them sometimes.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ how they got close:

started with late-night vent sessions in the practice room. Jeonghan would bring snacks, Luna would bring emotional damage. they trauma bonded over the pressure of being expected to be perfect all the time. Jeonghan was one of the only people who noticed when Luna would go quiet and not just assume she was fine.

“You don’t have to be okay just because you’re strong.” Jeonghan would tell her.

Luna would always seek him out when she needed grounding. Jeonghan had a calmness that wrapped around her like a blanket. their closeness was never loud— it was in the eye contact, the mirroring movements, the silence that felt full instead of empty.

ii. DYNAMIC

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ energy together:

magnetic. soulmate-coded. slow-burn tension that fans thought was scripted at first but turned out to be painfully real. loud in teasing, quiet in their affection. they can bicker in front of people and no one bats an eye, but if they go quiet and soft? everyone clears the room.

the vibe between them is so ‘meant to be’ it’s genuinely eerie. their will-they-won’t-they phase was a full k-drama arc that had fans writing essays and theorizing for years.

when they’re in the same room, they gravitate toward each other like magnets. it’s involuntary. the phrase “You two act like a married couple” lost all meaning.

unlike Seungcheol , who acts as Luna’s fierce guard dog— ready to throw hands if anyone even looks at her wrong— Jeonghan protects Luna differently. Jeonghan lets her fight her own battles, stepping in only when she needs or asks him to. he sees her strength first, treats her as an equal, but God help anyone who crosses a line.

he’s the type to smile at you sweetly while ruining your life behind the scenes if you hurt her. if Seungcheol is a sword who strikes in open battle for her, Jeonghan is the silent poison slipping through your wine— undetectable, elegant, and inevitable. Jeonghan is the type to destroy your career and send you a fruit basket the next morning.

Jeonghan (sweetly): “You okay, Nana-ya?”

Luna (proud): “Yeah, I handled it.”

Jeonghan (smiling wider): “Good. I’ll handle the rest.”

when seen together in real life, fans and strangers alike describe them as feeling “unreal.” they have a royal fairy aura— as if they’re two mythical beings who slipped out of a fairytale. there’s a soft shimmer to them when they walk side by side, matching steps, sharing secret glances.

fans who meet them together say they just make sense— “Like two puzzle pieces that were carved out of the same star.” their aura together is so strong even strangers on the street pause to stare like they’ve stumbled into a fairytale.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ the vibe when it’s just them:

pure domestic softness. the type to lie in bed all day doing absolutely nothing and calling it the best day ever.

constant gentle touches— thumb strokes, hand holding, Luna braiding his hair lazily while Jeonghan scrolls through her playlist.

silences aren’t awkward— they’re intimate. they have entire conversations with just looks. “Did you eat?” “Yeah, did you?” “…No.” “C’mon.”

Jeonghan instinctively reaches for her hand or her waist. Luna unconsciously leans into him every time.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ what each brings out in the other:

Jeonghan brings out: Luna’s playful, mischievous, childlike side. he’s the one who makes her laugh the most, who drags her out of bed to go get ice cream at midnight.

Luna brings out: Jeonghan’s calm, tender, serious side. with her, he softens. he listens. he feels safe being gentle.

she tethers him when his thoughts run too wild. he lifts her when she forgets how to. they balance each other perfectly— fire and wind. movement and stillness.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ roles they play in each other’s lives:

they are each others’: best friend, soulmate, twin flame, lover. dating for five years and counting. engaged. wedding postponed till Jeonghan finishes his military service. they literally share brain cells— finish each other’s sentences, say the same thing at the same time.

they’re the first person each other calls— whether it’s for good news, bad news, or “I saw a cute cat and thought of you.”

Jeonghan is her safe space. Luna is his constant.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ go-to activities / traditions:

Lego building nights— they once built an entire Hogwarts Castle in silence and called it a date. yes, they do have a room full of just their Legos in their house.

Sylvanian Family collection obsession. Don’t ask. They both treat it seriously and Luna even built a while neighborhood on a shelf in their room.

shopping with a twist— they ask the cashier or whoever to pick either of their cards. a game they like to play on who pays… they both hold up black cards which is hilarious as it is but whatever, right? the winner gets to pay… oh! and bragging rights.

matching jewelry. they started with rings, then bracelets, then necklaces. now it’s a full-on routine for them to get two whenever they buy jewelry.

back hugs and pinky interlocks. unabashed flirting. in front of the members. in interviews. on stage. late-night talks with soft music playing. sometimes they don’t talk. just lean on each other and listen.

hair routines— Luna braids his hair when he’s anxious. he massages her scalp when she’s tired.

voice memos— they send each other goodnight voice notes or singing voice notes when apart. Jeonghan once whispered, “Sleep well, my moon,” and Luna made it her alarm.

market rituals— sometimes they go to small outdoor markets together in masks and hoodies. they buy random antiques they absolutely don’t need but will decorate their house with anyway.

Luna (holding up a weird cat decoration): “Do we need this?”

Jeonghan: “No. But we might.”

weekly movie night— one week Luna picks (rom-coms), the next Jeonghan picks (thrillers). they argue, throw popcorn, and end up cuddled up halfway through anyway.

Jeonghan: “Why are you crying over a notebook?”

Luna (sniffling): “It’s called ‘The Notebook’ and because it’s fucking sad, you heartless demon!”

Jeonghan: “Jiyeon-ah… I’ve been wanting to do this for years… will you—”

Luna: “If you don’t stand up, I will be returning this ring.”

playing rock-paper-scissors to settle ANY disagreement. They once played 14 rounds to decide who would turn off the light.

Jeonghan using Luna’s forehead as a stress ball. she lets him.

they made up silent signals across a room for “I’m hungry,” “Let’s go home,” and “Save me from this convo.”

Luna mimics Jeonghan’s breathing during anxiety attacks.

Baby talk. “Baby, tired?” “Mhm. Hannie is here though.” people find it cringy? they couldn’t care less what people think.

before any performance, they find each other backstage, touch foreheads, and breathe together for a few seconds.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ their most iconic shared moments:

JOSHUA & LUNA ─── JoshNa

i. OVERVIEW

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ dynamic in one sentence:

they look like elegant royal heirs but act like chaotic rich siblings in a k-drama who would prank you with a smile.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ first impression vs. now:

Joshua met Luna during the trainee days through Jeonghan, who basically adopted her first. Joshua was instantly easy to talk to because foreigners unite energy. they instantly bonded over being awkward at Korean, giggling when they misunderstood simple words, and feeling overwhelmed by culture shock.

despite their demure appearances, Joshua clocked her chaos energy instantly and decided, “Yeah. She’s one of us.”

Joshua (laughing in broken Korean): “You… want… to fight?”

Luna (dead serious): “Yes. You’re first.”

Joshua: “Cool. We’ll get along.”

over time, that camaraderie turned into an unshakeable ride-or-die sibling bond.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ how they got close:

learning Korean together was the start— they made flashcards for each other. corrected each other’s pronunciation in the most savage ways. competed over who could memorize slang faster (Joshua always cheated).

bonding over culture shock— confused by Korean convenience store food combos (Joshua once thought tteokbokki was dessert).

Luna once bowed at a parking meter thinking it was a person.

Luna (mortified): “I just bowed to a lamp post.”

Joshua (laughing hysterically): “It probably bowed back in spirit.”

homesickness bonding— shared playlists full of songs from home. helped each other during holidays when family felt too far away. talked about their life back at their hometown to make it less lonely.

shared a secret pact: “If one of us makes it, the other has to.”

ii. DYNAMIC

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ energy together:

both secretly feral. publicly pretty; privately pretty insane. they’re the type to help you up if you trip, only to immediately mock you to tears. think mean-but-supportive-older-siblings-who-think-you’re-stupid-but-also-their-entire-world.

mutual worshippers— “We’re the prettiest.” “We’re the smartest.” “It’s us or nobody.”

their arguments sound like royal debates.

Joshua (crossing his arms): “I’m clearly the favorite child.”

Luna (smirking): “Favorite? Babe, I am the bloodline.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ the vibe when it’s just them:

Luna, despite her British roots, fits Joshua’s soft LA vibe perfectly.

long drives with indie music. froyo runs at midnight. fipping overpriced lattes while pretending they’re in a Netflix drama.

a rich, effortlessly cool aura that makes people wonder if they’re lowkey celebrities shopping undercover (they are).

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ what each brings out in the other:

Joshua brings out: Luna’s instinct to feel safe enough to be both soft and crazy.

Luna brings out: Joshua’s mischievous, sarcastic side more than anyone else can. around Luna, Joshua stops being just the perfect gentleman— he becomes playful, petty, chaotic. he spoils her like a literal princess: opening doors, carrying her stuff, paying for everything without a word. in return, Luna brings out his hidden wild side and always gasses him up like he’s a Marvel superhero.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ roles they play in each other’s lives:

Joshua for Luna: is her emotional buffer. (“Take a breath, Jiyeonie. You’re doing amazing.”)

Luna for Joshua: is his chaos therapist. (“It’s okay to be crazy sometimes. Who cares?”)

they are twin flames, but in the siblings who would murder for each other but also steal each other’s fries way. if Luna needs a co-conspirator for something mildly illegal (like sneaking snacks into dance practice)? Joshua’s first call.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ go-to activities / traditions:

DIY besties— Joshua taught Luna pottery, bracelet making, sewing patches on jackets, perfume making. Luna taught Joshua how to crochet, how to knit, how to paint with acrylics without making a mess (he failed that one).

Joshua (covered in blue paint): “I’m Picasso.”

Luna: “You’re a crime scene.”

birthday craft exchange— every year, instead of expensive gifts, they hand-make each other something. Joshua once knit her the ugliest scarf known to mankind. She wore it for a week straight.

kitchen disasters— they have a standing ‘cook something hideous once a year’ tradition. their ‘rainbow pasta’ incident is still forbidden to discuss.

English gossip sessions— whenever something juicy happens, they immediately switch to English and huddle in a corner like high school mean girls.

Luna (whispering): “Did you see that?”

Joshua: “Oh we’re TALKING about it.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ inside jokes / recurring bits:

speaking in English when gossiping or trauma dumping.

fake royalty titles: Joshua = Prince Joshua of Los Angeles. Luna = Princess Luna of London

they address each other as ‘Your Highness’ when being petty.

random flex battles— “I have better hair.” “My accent’s hotter.” “I’m more photogenic.”

mimicking each other’s accents: Joshua’s fake British accent = crime against humanity. Luna’s LA surfer bro impression = equally criminal.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ routines / habits:

small acts of service™— Joshua opens doors for her without thinking. moves her chair before she sits. carries her bags if they’re heavy. unscrews tight bottle caps without being asked.

gentle checking-in— texts her “Drink water” reminders. sends her memes when he knows she’s stressed. reminds her to go to sleep when he sees she’s online, only for Luna to clap back with “Why are YOU still awake?”

“you good?” looks— cross a crowded room, one glance = full conversation.

Joshua (handing her a glass of water): “Princesses don’t get dehydrated.”

Luna (grinning): “Neither do peasants. Drink with me.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ their most iconic shared moments:

when they both tripped on stage but styled it out like it was choreography.

their chaotic Weverse live— Luna doing Joshua’s makeup blindfolded. Joshua ending up looking like a circus clown and still smiling proudly.

their “DIY Disaster” YouTube vlog— built a crooked birdhouse. decorated it like it was a Picasso masterpiece. made it a running joke: “If this birdhouse survives, so will we.”

matching friendship rings reveal— quietly wore matching gold rings with the letter ‘J’ for years before fans noticed.

it’s what they naturally call each other most. also because their bond is like chaotic but affectionate.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact pictures:

Joshua’s pic: Ryan (Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse) looking at himself in a mirror. because Ryan is delusional, fabulous, and self-obsessed— just like Joshua at peak confidence.

Luna’s pic: Raquelle (Ryan’s twin) looking smugly at herself in a mirror. because Raquelle is beautiful, chaotic, and the blueprint for petty queens— aka Luna in a nutshell.

Luna made Joshua binge Barbie Life in the Dreamhouse on a random Tuesday night. halfway through, they paused, pointed at the screen, and screamed, “THAT’S US.” changed their contact photos immediately with zero regrets.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ have they changed their contacts over time?:

nope. haven’t event thought about it. this is the best one they have set. the only time they’ll even think about changing their contacts is if they find another iconic duo they relate to wholeheartedly… then they’ll consider.

JUN & LUNA ─── JunJi

i. OVERVIEW

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ dynamic in one sentence.

shy chaos meets loyal gremlin— the ultimate slow-burn besties.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ first impression vs. now:

when they first met, it was giving painfully polite strangers at a dinner party. both shy, both lowkey introverted around new people— they bowed awkwardly like 10 times in under a minute.

Jun thought she was so cool— “Wow… she’s like… fancy,” he whispered to himself after meeting her.

Luna, meanwhile, told Jeonghan later, “He looks like a prince but stands like a terrified deer.”

for the first few months, interactions were mostly: “Ah… hello…” “Did you eat?” then cue the awkward laughing.

but once they started spending time together during Korean lessons with the other foreign line members, the awkward walls crumbled.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ how they got close:

their friendship blossomed during survival Korean classes with Joshua, Minghao, and Vernon and other trainees. Luna would be extra enthusiastic about Jun’s Chinese culture and ask him all kinds of questions.

Luna: “Do you miss hot pot? I looked up a place! We should go!”

Jun, absolutely touched: “You would do that for me?”

they bonded over; language struggles, their homesickness, laughing at Joshua’s Americanized Korean pronunciation. trading “strangest food from your country” stories. roasting Vernon for already being lowkey fluent while they were dying over Hangul. slowly but surely, they became the type of friends who didn’t need to talk all the time to feel close.

ii. DYNAMIC

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ energy together:

Luna is quiet; Jun is also quiet. BUT Luna activates Jun like an uno reverse card— making him louder, funnier, and more mischievous when she’s around.

Luna is Jun’s designated #1 fan. if Jun breathes in the general direction of a stage, Luna is clapping like a proud soccer mom.

“GO HUI-HUI GO!!” she yells from backstage while the staff die laughing.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ the vibe when it’s just them:

a weird mix of peaceful and chaotic. they’ll be chilling in comfortable silence one second— and then the next second Luna is making Jun do TikTok dances he absolutely hates but secretly enjoys because she’s hyping him up.

Jun (learning the dance regardless): “I hate you.”

Luna: “You’re welcome. Now body roll more aggressively. Our fans would like that.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ what each brings out in the other:

Jun brings out: Luna’s calmness— when she’s around him, she’s visibly more chill, grounded, less frantic.

Luna brings out: Jun’s playful side— the one who teases and pranks and isn’t afraid to be ridiculous.

they are each other’s emotional support weirdos.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ roles they play in each other’s lives:

Jun for Luna: he is her ‘judgement-free zone’ where she can be extra silly without fear of being judged.

Luna for Jun: she is his external hype squad and accidental English tutor.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ go-to activities / traditions:

English/Chinese language exchanges (but make it chaotic). Luna trying to pronounce Mandarin tones correctly while Jun physically cringes. they regularly teach each other memes from their own countries and rate them from 1-10.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ inside jokes / recurring bits:

pretending to be ‘official interpreters’ whenever someone asks them a question.

Jun: “She said she wants dumplings.”

Luna (who said nothing of the sort): “He said he’s buying us all dinner.”

calling each other by their Chinese or English names randomly for dramatic effect. “ Wen Junhui, you disappoint me.” “Luna Bae, this is why you can’t have nice things.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ routines / habits:

Luna always sends Jun support when he’s away in China— coffee trucks, food trucks, personalized gifts, flowers, literally sending her love internationally like it’s an Olympic sport.

Jun, in return: spams her with selfies of him holding random cute objects like stuffed animals. makes her random playlists titled ‘For When You’re Sad’ and ‘Luna’s Emo Hours.’

simple and small acts of comfort: Luna reminding Jun to drink water after dancing. Jun sneaking snacks into her bag before shoots because “you always forget to eat.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ their most iconic shared moments:

that time they got lost trying to find a restaurant in Osaka because both assumed the other knew the way.

when Jun got sick during a Chinese schedule and Luna sent him a selfie holding up half a heart— and he sent his own back completing it. “We’re the most powerful friendship duo, sorry Jeonghan hyung.”

iii. NICKNAMES

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Luna’s nicknames for Jun:

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Jun’s nicknames for Luna:

Jiyeonie, Moon #2, 小月亮 (xiǎo yuè liàng / ‘Little Moon’) — his nickname when he’s feeling soft and sentimental.

iv. CONTACTS

moon #1 & moon #2

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact names:

they both love the nicknames and never found anything more perfect for each other. ‘Moon #1’ for Jun since his surname in Korean is Moon. While ‘Moon #2’ for Luna since her name means Moon in Latin. Jun is number one since he is the oldest of the two. the names are just the right mix of cheesy, affectionate, and embarrassing (which makes it even better).

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact pictures:

Jun’s pic: a selfie Jun sent while sick— holding up half a heart with his hand, looking adorably tired but trying to smile.

Luna’s pic: Luna’s reply selfie— completing the heart with her hand, trying to smile the same way Jun did in his picture.

when Jun was sick during filming in China, sent the half-heart selfie. Luna who missed him, immediately sent the matching half. Luna was so emotional about it, she messaged him: “Save that forever or I’m fighting you.”

Jun replied: “Already set as your profile pic. Stay mad.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ have they changed their contacts over time?:

nope. never. it’s been years and they refuse to change them. Luna claims it’s ‘friendship law’ at this point. Jun said if she ever changed it, he’d dramatically unfollow her for 10 minutes out of spite.

HOSHI & LUNA ─── SoonYeon

i. OVERVIEW

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ dynamic in one sentence:

hyper-competitive dance soulmates but also mother and her overly dramatic iPad tiger child.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ first impression vs. now:

when they first met, Hoshi’s aura was very serious and intimidating. as dance leader even during trainee days, he had naturally high standards and a razor sharp eye for mistakes. Luna, with her ballet background and clean movement lines, immediately caught Hoshi’s attention in the best way. he found her movements “so clean it scratched an itch in his brain I didn’t know existed.”— she rarely needed corrections. because of this, Hoshi, who could be blunt and scary, was surprisingly soft towards her. it shocked a lot of the other trainees.

first few meetings— lots of stiff, formal energy. bowing 90° to each other constantly. accidentally speaking to each other in formal speech even when everyone else dropped it.

Hoshi: (bowing furiously) “Hello, I’m Kwon Soonyoung.”

Luna: (panicking) “Oh…yes! Hi– I’m Bae Jiyeon. Nice to meet you.”

cue them doing that awkward shuffle where both people try to move out of the way but keep moving in the same direction. now? Luna casually drags Hoshi by the sleeve to fix his hoodie and lectures him like a tired mom, while Hoshi whines dramatically like a six-year-old denied a Happy Meal.

Luna: (adjusting his hoodie) “You can’t be a tiger looking like a mess, Shi-Shi.”

Hoshi: (whining) “BUT I’M A CUTE TIGER, JIYEONIE.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ how they got close:

dance was their ultimate bridge. Hoshi became curious about Luna’s ballet background and often asked her about certain movements, how she learned body control, etc. Luna would mirror that curiosity, always peppering him with questions about hip-hop foundations, popping, and choreo process.

they both stayed behind after practice hours a lot— stretching, freestyling, battling for who could hold a plank longer, etc. Hoshi realized that Luna learned choreography freakishly fast— she picked up footwork and hand placement in almost half the time of others, and it impressed him so much he once jokingly asked:

Hoshi: (mock serious) “…Are you even human, Jiyeonie?”

Luna: (grinning) “Just built different, Soonyoungie-oppa.”

as dance leader, Hoshi quickly realized that Luna wasn’t just good— she was performance team level good. he really, really wanted her to join the performance team when they were unofficially discussing future team divisions during trainee days.

Hoshi: (in a practice room, breathless from dancing) “You’re Performance Team material.”

Luna: (laughing) “Is this your way of recruiting me?”

Hoshi: (grinning) “You should be honored.”

he genuinely thought her ballet background and street dance fusion style would revolutionize their choreography. however, Luna was also gaining attention for her vocals— trainers constantly praised her tone and technique, and she started being pushed toward vocal team.

Hoshi, being a little dramatic but also mature about it, agreed. He knew she deserved the vocal team position because her voice was too beautiful to sideline.

years later on a Knowing Brothers episode when talking about Luna’s debut, Hoshi said proudly and dramatically: “Honestly, if Luna wanted to, she could be in every unit. She fits Performance Team, Hip-Hop Team, Vocal Team… she’s literally Seventeen itself, I’m serious.”

their inside joke forever became Hoshi pretending to dramatically “steal her back” for the performance team every time she posted a dance cover or performed powerful choreo.

Hoshi: (mock whispering in her ear) “You know you’re one of us at heart, right? Performance Team blood runs in you.”

Luna: (laughing, pushing him away) “Stay mad, Shi-Shi.”

ii. DYNAMIC

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ energy together:

absolute chaos meets motherly micromanagement— Luna is that tired mom with 3 hours of sleep managing her hyperactive toddler (Hoshi). meanwhile, Hoshi is that pet tiger who thinks he’s fierce but looks like a stuffed animal.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ the vibe when it’s just them:

surprisingly chill… for like 5 minutes. they start calm: busy on their phones, maybe stretching, discussing new dance trends.

then somehow it devolves into: TikTok dance battles at 3AM. Hoshi trying to stack random objects on Luna’s head to see how long she can balance it (she’s scarily good). Luna making Hoshi practice ballet pirouettes and almost passing out from dizziness.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ what each brings out in the other:

Hoshi brings out Luna’s: competitiveness to new heights. he pushes and encourages her to be even sharper, faster, more daring with choreography. makes her get OUT of her perfectionist, “everything must be clean” shell sometimes and just vibe.

Luna brings Hoshi’s: softness to balance his leadership intensity. she reminds him it’s okay to laugh, to not always be in ‘Dance Teacher Mode.’ she makes him feel cared for and seen outside of his dance ability.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ roles they play in each other’s lives:

Hoshi for Luna: her energy booster and confidence hype man, the one who reminds her she’s unstoppable.

Luna for Hoshi: his emotional support momager + the only one who can tell him “you’re overworking” and he’ll listen.

Hoshi: (chanting dramatically) “Our Jiyeonie is the dance queen!”

Luna: (laughing) “You’re so embarrassing, stop!!”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ go-to activities / traditions:

supporting each other’s weird interests 3000%.

Luna wears tiger print whenever Hoshi has a big event. Hoshi attends Luna’s solo dance performances schedules even if he has to sneak in with sunglasses and a hat.

gift exchange tradition— Luna must buy Hoshi anything tiger-related she spots. a tiger print bag, tiger slippers, even tiger-patterned socks. you name it, it’s his.

Hoshi must send her TikToks he thinks she can nail dance-wise and challenge her to do it first.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ inside jokes / recurring bits:

‘Horanghae Nation President’ = Luna’s title.

Hoshi pretending to be an actual tiger cub, growling softly whenever he wants attention.

Hoshi: (tiny roar) “grrr” 🥺

Luna: (patting his head) “Yes, yes, my scary little beast.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ routines / habits:

if either one has a rough day, they automatically end up in a dance studio together— no talking, just music and movement.

Luna’s major cuteness aggression towards Hoshi—randomly grabs his cheeks mid-conversation. squeals “AHH, SO SQUISHY!” and aggressively hugs him.

posting silly dance covers and challenges together like a chaotic mother-son duo on TikTok.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ their most iconic shared moments:

a jaw-droppingly sexy dance cover they posted once to a The Weeknd song— totally caught fans off-guard because usually their content is pure crackhead energy.

fans losing their minds because “Mother and Child just ate us alive and didn’t even say sorry.”

during a group live for Luna’s birthday, Hoshi randomly got super soft and said— Hoshi: “You’re one of my favorite people, you make this team better just by being you.”

Luna (tearing up): “Is the tiger…crying?”

Hoshi: “NO, IT’S JUST MY EYE SWEAT.”

iv. CONTACTS

shi-shi & ji-ji

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact names:

they literally call each other these nicknames in real life all the time— it felt wrong to save each other as anything else. plus, they wanted to match like the clingy chaotic besties they are.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact pictures:

Hoshi’s pic: a photo of him at a fansign wearing a fuzzy bear hoodie, doing the Horanghae claw pose aggressively but cutely.

Luna’s pic: a photo of Luna also at a fansign wearing tiger ears and big cat mittens, holding her hands up like a ferocious kitten.

both photos were found randomly on fan accounts. they both sent the pictures to each other at the same time in a chaotic “OH MY GOD LOOK AT YOU” moment and decided to change their contact photos immediately.

Luna: (texting) “BRO. HOW ARE YOU A WHOLE BEAR-ASS TIGER RN.”

Hoshi: (texting) “YOU’RE LITERALLY A TIGER- KITTEN HYBRID TRYING TO BE FIERCE. STOP.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ have they changed their contacts over time?:

no. they love the current names and pictures way too much. it’s a badge of honor at this point.

WONWOO & LUNA ─── WonNa

i. OVERVIEW

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ dynamic in one sentence:

calm meets calmer. the human embodiment of ‘silent understanding’ and ‘two introverts chilling in a room five feet apart because they vibe.’

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ first impression vs. now:

Luna has always been good at keeping her cool, but meeting Wonwoo? she short-circuited a little. he wasn’t loud. He wasn’t intimidating in the traditional way. it was the eyes— the sharp, catlike gaze that seemed to see straight into her soul.

Luna: (to herself, first day) “Holy shit, is he glaring at me?”

reality: he was literally just existing. he didn’t see her at all. she was a blur… literally. Wonwoo was blind and existing. ironically, Luna experienced what others often feel when they first meet her— that wall of silent intensity.

first few weeks, she’d freeze up whenever Wonwoo was around, treating him like a final boss she wasn’t ready to fight. it was funny. Luna wasn’t intimidated by Seungcheol or Woozi like a lot were. it was Wonwoo. but once she started catching him smiling at dumb jokes or catching glimpses of his laugh where his eyes would crinkle and his sharp image would completely soften?

Luna: (whispering to Joshua) “I was scared of a literal teddy bear. I deserve jail time.”

Wonwoo: (soft laugh) “You were scared of me? That’s cute.”

now, they’re so comfortable, Luna jokes that she can predict his every blink.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ how they got close:

it started because Wonwoo heard from other trainees that Luna had a hidden rap training background.

Wonwoo: (serious) “You used to rap? Show me.”

Luna: (horrified) “No. Immediate rejection. Try again next year.”

Luna was shy about it— rapping was the one thing she wasn’t confident in. in fact, her old trainers from her previous company only tested her on it for a few months before she joined to PLEDIS.

Wonwoo didn’t push too hard, but he never forgot. months later, during a random evaluation, trainers asked Luna to rap… and she transformed. her flow was sharp, her delivery clean— it was like seeing a whole different Luna. Wonwoo (and the other trainees lowkey) clapped without even thinking.

Wonwoo: (quiet but awed) “You’re insane. Why don’t you do it more?”

Luna: (shrugging, bashful) “It’s not my main thing…”

Wonwoo: (smirking) “It should be.”

they bonded after that— over rap, rhythm, phrasing. Luna also became Wonwoo’s unofficial English tutor when he needed help with rap lyrics. she would patiently explain slang, nuances, and tone.

Wonwoo: (after Luna explained ‘pull up’) “So it’s not… actually pulling something up somewhere?”

Luna: (grinning) “Correct, Woo.”

these quiet moments— shoulders brushing as they pored over lyrics together— built a solid, wordless trust between them.

ii. DYNAMIC

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ energy together:

black cat x doberman. they’re so low energy sometimes that others wonder if they’re even alive.

Seungkwan: (mock screaming) “SAY SOMETHING! BLINK! BREATHE! MOVE!”

Luna + Wonwoo: (barely glancing up) “…hi.”

quiet comfort. a safe zone where neither feels the pressure to entertain.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ the vibe when it’s just them:

peak ‘comfortable silence’ energy. they could sit for hours, gaming or reading, exchanging maybe two words but feeling totally at peace. no forced conversation. just existing together.

Wonwoo: (passing her a controller) “Ready?”

Luna: (nodding, stretching) “Let’s go.”

it’s the most healing, non-demanding dynamic either of them has.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ what each brings out in the other:

Wonwoo brings out Luna’s: patience and he grounds her. in the chaos of idol life, he’s one of her few ‘still points.’ with him, she doesn’t feel the need to perform or impress— she can just be. Luna becomes even softer, even more patient with herself around Wonwoo.

Luna brings out Wonwoo’s: quiet warmth shine brighter. he smiles more, jokes a little more, even initiates conversation with her.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ roles they play in each other’s lives:

Wonwoo for Luna: is the silent protector— he doesn’t say much, but you best believe he notices when Luna’s not feeling okay.

Luna for Wonwoo: is the gentle cheerleader— noticing when Wonwoo needs silent support and giving it without fuss.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ go-to activities / traditions:

gaming sessions— Wonwoo taught Luna gaming 101. she was tragically bad at first— dying every 2 minutes, asking dumb questions. he never once teased her, only explaining patiently over and over again.

Wonwoo: (explaining for the 10th time) “Click B to crouch, Jiyeon-ah. B.”

Luna: (squinting at controller) “WHERE IS B?!”

now they game together all the time— she’s decent, but the moment she gets too into it, her sailor mouth comes out in full force.

Luna: (in Korean-English hybrid rage) “Ya, what the—! Bro what the fuck! Why in the flying fuck?!”

Wonwoo: (calmly laughing) “Language, Jiyeonie.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ inside jokes / recurring bits:

Luna dramatically ‘fainting’ every time Wonwoo wears a button up with his glasses and looks like a hot professor.

Luna: (pretending to swoon) “Somebody stop this man. It’s too much.”

Wonwoo: (adjusting glasses, deadpan) “Study harder.”

Wonwoo teasing Luna by texting her random English slang he just learned and seeing if she cringes.

Wonwoo: (text at 3 AM) “Bro, that’s lowkey bussin fr fr.”

Luna: (dying inside) “You’re banned from the internet.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ routines / habits:

Luna wordlessly cleaning Wonwoo’s glasses if she spots even a speck of dust— he’ll just stand still and tilt his head like a cat until she’s done.

Wonwoo acting like a literal dad scolding her for bad eye habits: (serious) “You’re gonna ruin your eyesight. Stop holding your phone so close, Bae Jiyeon.”

Luna: (mocking) “Dad, it’s fineee.”

Wonwoo: (pushing her hand away gently) “Arm’s length. Always.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ their most iconic shared moments:

that one gaming live where Luna lost badly and was clearly about to start cussing. Wonwoo, with the reflexes of a Marvel superhero, immediately wrapped one arm around her shoulders and slapped his hand over her mouth. fans lost their minds at the smoothness.

Luna: (muffled behind his hand) “MMMPH!!!”

Wonwoo: (calm, smiling at camera) “She’s fine. She’s just… expressing strong emotions.”

legendary clip. fans still edit it into meme videos about friendship trauma.

iii. NICKNAMES

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Luna’s nickname for Wonwoo

Woo, Wonie, Won-Won, Woon, Woonie, Catboy (when teasing him)

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Wonwoo’s nickname for Luna:

Jiyeonie, Loony (Harry Potter reference), Trouble (when she curses too much gaming)

iv. CONTACTS

wonie & trouble

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact names:

it’s what they naturally call each other the most. it just feels right. ‘Wonie’ is cute and Luna loves how it sounds. ‘Trouble’ because Luna swears like a sailor when gaming and he finds it secretly adorable.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact pictures:

Wonwoo’s pic: a stolen selfie of Wonwoo looking mildly confused after she shoved her phone in his face. during a gaming break. Luna attacked Wonwoo with the phone; Wonwoo was too stunned to resist. at least he was smiling (awkwardly) after he blinked like a deer caught in headlights.

Luna’s pic: areally pretty selfie Luna took using his phone when she stole it while he was distracted. she looked so happy and carefree that he kept it.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ have they changed their contacts over time?:

nope. Luna knows she’s never getting another candid cute pic like that of Wonwoo unless she tackles him. meanwhile, Wonwoo is way too lazy to ever update his contacts. also, he likes that selfie too much (but he’ll never admit it out loud).

WOOZI & LUNA ─── LuZi

i. OVERVIEW:

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ dynamic in one sentence:

musicians at heart— the composer and his melody. they aren’t loud or over-the-top. they’re those quietly brilliant kids in class you only notice when you realize they’re carrying the whole group project. Luna thrives in feeling things deeply and translating them into melodies, and Woozi— literal sound engineer of her feelings— is the one who structures and shapes it.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ first impression vs. now:

during their trainee years, Woozi and Luna were in two completely different universes— not in a bad way, just… parallel. Luna had Jeonghan; Woozi had himself, he gravitated towards himself. their conversations were strictly “Hello,” “Good work today,” and “Eat well.” Very formal. Very awkward.

Luna thought he was a bit intense but respected the hell out of him. Woozi thought she was kind of intimidating because she observed too much and he was suspicious of anyone that observant.

trainee Luna: “Good morning, Jihoon-shi!”

trainee Woozi, blinking aggressively: “Y-Yeah. Morning.” (internally: why is she so… bright??? it’s 7 AM???)

now they are partners-in-(musical)-crime. Woozi’s the first person Luna wants to show her new lyric idea to. Luna’s one of the few people aside from the other members Woozi trusts enough to ask for honest feedback. they still don’t have super deep personal talks often, but when they do, it’s surprisingly raw and supportive.

Luna barging into his studio, grinning: “I wrote something new!”

Woozi, deadpan but fond: “Did you at least sleep this time or is this another 3 AM masterpiece?”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ how they got close:

Luna being recruited into the Seventeen project was the start. suddenly, Woozi had to actually work with her— not just awkwardly bow at the practice room door. she was curious about songwriting and producing— not just surface-level curious, but taking actual notes curious.

Woozi noticed her genuine passion and couldn’t help but mentor her a little. he appreciated that she didn’t just ask annoying questions like, “What’s your favorite chord?” but instead asked, “How do you know when a track feels finished?” over time, he started calling her into the studio with a casual, “You free? I need a second opinion.”

ii. DYNAMIC

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ energy together:

calm, focused, creative. it’s two perfectionists bonding over art, but without suffocating each other. Luna is slightly more expressive; Woozi is the cool-headed editor. he hones her wild ideas into clean executions; she pulls him into more experimental zones. in short: student and teacher turned collaborators.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ the vibe when it’s just them:

quiet music nerd energy. lots of “listen to this” and “what do you think about this hook?”

occasional comfortable silences where one is working and the other is doodling lyrics. not much small talk— mostly hyper-focused music conversations punctuated by dry jokes.

Luna tapping her pencil on her notebook: “Do you think this bridge is too cheesy?”

Woozi, sipping coffee without looking up: “You’re cheesy. It works.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ what each brings out in the other:

Woozi brings out Luna’s: confidence in her own musical instincts. patience to refine her ideas without losing passion. a more technical, structured approach to creativity.

Luna brings out Woozi’s: slightly more playful, experimental side. ability to loosen his tight grip on perfection. she is a reminder that music is supposed to be felt just as much as it’s crafted.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ roles they play in each other’s lives:

Woozi for Luna: mentor, quality control manager, quiet cheerleader. the person whose approval feels like winning an Olympic gold.

Luna for Woozi: muse, chaos bringer (in a good way), someone who reminds him why he loved music before it became a job.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ go-to activities / traditions:

sharing drafts and lyric ideas late at night.

studio jam sessions where they don’t speak much— just vibe and build. sometimes they’ll spend hours in the same room, each doing their own thing, only breaking the silence when one of them says, “Hey, listen to this real quick.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ inside jokes / recurring bits:

Luna constantly calling Woozi ‘President of the Sound Department’ whenever he gets too nitpicky about mixing.

Woozi teasing Luna that she writes “too many heartbreak ballads for someone who’s not heartbroken and very much in love.”

Luna threatening to make a diss track every time Woozi rejects one of her beat ideas (“I’m this close to cooking you in 16 bars, Hoonie.”)

Woozi’s fake-deadpan reaction to every one of her new lyrics: “It’s missing… ‘baby’. Put ‘baby’ in it.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ routines / habits:

whenever Luna feels stuck, Woozi doesn’t give big pep talks. he just tosses her a spare notebook and says: “Write it out. Doesn’t have to make sense. Doesn’t even have to rhyme. Just get it out.”

that simple act— that permission to make a mess— usually pulls her out of her slump. when Woozi’s stressed, Luna slips him candy under his keyboard without a word. (Sugar = productivity.)

Luna grumbling after a rejection: “Maybe I should just quit music and become a florist.”

Woozi, dry as ever: “Florists still have to work with thorns. You’d just write sad songs about roses.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ their most iconic shared moments:

Luna making her official producing debut with Woozi’s help— her first-ever co-produced track was born after a marathon 11-hour studio lock-in. fans still talk about the behind-the-scenes clip where Woozi muttered, “You’re a monster now. I created a monster,” while Luna cried happy tears.

Luna, teary-eyed: “I couldn’t have done it without you.”

Woozi, awkwardly patting her head: “Yeah. Yeah, you could’ve. But I’m still taking 50% credit.”

their matching ‘Producer Line’ handshake (extremely complicated, overly dramatic, and ends with them fake-saluting each other like anime characters).

iii. NICKNAMES

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Luna’s nickname for Woozi:

Jihoonie, Hoon, Hoonie, Chief Lee, Boss Baby (When she’s being annoying)

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Woozi’s nickname for Luna:

Jiyeonie, Co-Captain, Muse-nim, Lyric Gremlin (affectionate), Melody, Siren (referring to her voice)

iv. CONTACTS

jihoonie & jiyeonie

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact names:

their friendship is simple and based on mutual respect. their contacts are mostly functional and simple. the most common nickname they call each other is used because according to Woozi: “It’s too complicated to have your name something weird like you have for the other guys.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact pictures:

Woozi’s pic: stolen photo where Woozi’s cheeks are squished by his beanie, smiling like a dumpling baby. Luna caught Woozi off-guard at the studio for his photo. Luna refuses to change it because “it’s peak cuteness and must be preserved.”

Luna’s pic: she took a selfie holding a half-heart to her cheek with the caption “Wooahae”. she had no contact photo for a long time— until Luna physically forced him to set one. Luna spammed him with “Wooahae” selfies until she got sick of waiting and changed his contact manually. Woozi grumbled but secretly finds it adorable.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ have they changed their contacts over time?:

absolutely not. Luna’s too obsessed with the dumpling pic. while Woozi’s too lazy and secretly sentimental to change hers. so he couldn’t be bothered.

THE8 & LUNA ─── LuHao

i. OVERVIEW

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ dynamic in one sentence:

‘twin where have you been?’ ~ — same person, different fonts. they are the gender-bent versions of each other who will judge you openly but lovingly, no hesitation— professional ‘side-eye then sip tea’ partners.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ first impression vs. now:

when Luna first met Minghao, he looked absolutely lost— big wide eyes, hovering awkwardly behind Jun like he’d been dropped into another planet. she immediately related to him, being a ‘foreigner’ herself. it was mutual confusion between them over why there was a girl in their group, but it was never rude, just puzzled.

Minghao, blinking at her: “Why…girl?”

Luna, blinking back: “Trust me, I’m just as confused as you are.”

over time, he became one of her fiercest silent defenders when people doubted or side-eyed her presence in SEVENTEEN. he wasn’t loud about it— he was silent but deadly with his shade and side-eyes at anyone disrespectful.

Minghao (deadpan): “Their opinions are invalid.”

Luna, laughing: “My knight in shiny apathy.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ how they got close:

Korean classes were their bonding ground. Luna knew more Korean, so she helped him a lot (with Jun’s occasional help). it started with simple study sessions, but quickly became Luna dragging Minghao by the sleeve and saying things like:“Repeat after me: ‘Hello, I am a king.’”

Minghao, confused but obedient: “…Hello, I am a king?”

Luna: “Exactly. Manifest it.”

she helped him not just with words, but with slang, humor, and reading between the lines of Korean culture which she had learned from her peers as well. in turn, Minghao would teach her Chinese idioms and phrases, making their tutoring sessions this weird fusion of cultures and chaotic humor.

ii. DYNAMIC

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ energy together:

both have permanently installed Resting Judgment Faces™. when something stupid happens in the group, both will silently make eye contact— no words needed, the disdain is communicated through vibes.

Luna is impulsive and chaotic, while Minghao is the “breathe, bestie” squad.

Minghao (patting Luna’s back when she’s about to pop off): “Inhale. Exhale. Violence…later.”

they balance each other— Luna acts first, Minghao calculates first.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ the vibe when it’s just them:

strangely peaceful. they will sit in total silence for hours— Minghao painting, Luna scribbling lyrics or doodles— and it’s not awkward at all. they also exchange the occasional deadpan commentary:

Luna, staring at her sketch: “This looks like a drunk chicken.”

Minghao, not looking up: “So do you sometimes.”

Luna: “Facts.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ what each brings out in the other:

Minghao brings out Luna’s: self-awareness and patience. she’s naturally impulsive, but with him, she remembers to slow down, reflect, and think bigger picture.

Luna brings out Minghao’s: playfulness and emotional openness. he’s naturally reserved and mysterious, but around Luna, he lets loose more easily— jokes, playful jabs, even chaotic laughter that shocks everyone else.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ roles they play in each other’s lives:

Minghao for Luna: her voice of reason and her unofficial ‘calm the chaos’ mentor. her emotional regulator when things get too overwhelming.

Luna for Minghao: his creative spark and emotional compass. she reminds him that it’s okay to not always be the cool and composed philosopher, that vulnerability is powerful too.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ go-to activities / traditions:

tea time— Minghao taught Luna traditional Chinese tea rituals.

Luna: “So no milk? No sugar??”

Minghao (judging): “Absolutely not. You weirdo.”

Luna taught him the British-style tea with milk and sugar, resulting in 10 minutes of pure judgment followed by gagging noises after he tried it.

painting sessions— very soothing. Luna’s style is chaotic and colorful; Minghao’s is minimalistic and philosophical.

fashion adventures— they are airport fashion gods. not matching exactly but matching aesthetics— same energy, different fonts. fans call them the ‘Vogue Twins’

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ inside jokes / recurring bits:

pretending to be silent bodyguards for the rest of SEVENTEEN. Luna and Minghao, in sunglasses and stone faces behind Jeonghan: “Sir, this peasant tried to breathe near you.”

Minghao (sniffing tea): “This smells like regret.”

Luna: “Zero stars. Would not sip again.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ routines / habits:

when Luna’s about to go nuclear on someone, Minghao casually pats her leg or back to ground her.

Minghao (softly): “Breathe, Jiyeon-ah. You’re too pretty for jail.”

when Minghao’s stressed and closing himself off, Luna sneaks in mini snacks or sketches memes and slips them under his door. sticky note from Luna: “You’re the coolest philosophical tea-drinking king I know. Smile or I’ll tell Jun you cried at a cat video.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ their most iconic shared moments:

synced judging reactions captured on Weverse live multiple times— the side-eyes, the collective sighs, the synchronized head tilts.

once did an impromptu ‘silent roast battle’ at a fan meeting: literally just exchanging intense stares and shrugging judgmentally while fans screamed.

Luna once roasted Minghao in English, Minghao fired back in Chinese, Luna fake-cried and they both ended up laughing like lunatics while Seungkwan screamed in the background: “I’M SCARED OF THEM.”

MINGYU & LUNA ─── MingNa

i. OVERVIEW

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ dynamic in one sentence:

golden retriever in love with his badass fairy princess— the biggest ‘what if’ Carats will never get over of.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ first Impression vs now:

Luna first thought Mingyu was stupidly attractive. Like— teen heartthrob level. then he opened his mouth… and she immediately went “Oh. He’s a puppy.” he was fumbling, blushing, dropping his water bottle, and giggling like a middle schooler when she said hi.

Luna (to herself): “He’s gonna be the death of me. But like, in a sweet way.”

Mingyu (internally screaming): “I’m going to marry her. Today. Right now.”

Mingyu was absolutely floored. genuinely thought she was a fairy princess that stumbled out of a Disney movie. forgot how to breathe for a good minute. thought she ‘glowed’ in the fluorescent trainee lights (he wasn’t even exaggerating).

and till this day he still thinks she glows. still would propose on the spot if given half a chance. Luna still sees him as the world’s biggest, stupidly cute, sweetest golden retriever. but now they’re best friends too— she can boss him around, roast him, hug him, and he’ll just wag his metaphorical tail and follow her around like it’s his life mission.

Luna (teasing): “Still got that little crush, Gyu?”

Mingyu (grinning wide): “Always.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ how they got close:

Mingyu was paralyzed around her during their trainee years. like, deer-in-headlights levels of awkward. every time Luna even glanced his way, he would immediately: trip over thin air, blush so hard he looked sunburnt, genuinely look like he was about to explode.

meanwhile, Seungcheol and Jeonghan (also secret admirers) at least managed to act cool around her. Mingyu? full malfunction.

one break during training, Luna casually sat next to him with a snack and just started chatting about the weather.

Luna (grinning): “You think it’s gonna rain today? I hope it rains. I like the smell.”

Mingyu (inwardly combusting): “Y-Yeah! Rain smells… good in a weird way! I mean— not like, bad! I mean— you smell—GOOD— wait—”

Luna burst out laughing at his panic— not mocking, but genuinely finding him adorable. that laugh broke the ice. Mingyu fell harder.

Mingyu (internally): “Oh my god. She’s the cutest person alive. I’m dead. Goodbye.”

from then, she’d always sit with him, joke with him, pull him into group convos, and slowly he unfurled like a shy puppy finally getting cuddled.

ii. DYNAMIC

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ energy together:

golden retriever x doberman dynamic to the MAX.

Mingyu: sunshine, clinginess, heart eyes 24/7. Luna: the slightly intimidating, beautiful doberman who secretly has a huge soft spot for her dumb golden retriever. he’s physically attached to her when possible — hugs, arm slings, resting his chin on her head because he’s TALL.

Mingyu: “Can I hug you?”

Luna (pretending to be annoyed but already opening her arms): “You’re already doing it, idiot.”

ater Luna and Jeonghan became a thing, Mingyu was hurt, but mostly just happy she found real love. never let the heartbreak ruin their friendship.

Mingyu (softly): “As long as you’re happy, I’m good.”

to this day, if someone asks Mingyu his ideal type, it’s Luna’s name and description that falls out without thinking.

Mingyu (panicking): “…Like…Luna. I mean—not LUNA Luna but like…someone Luna-LIKE??“

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ the vibe when it’s just them:

Luna’s gentle giant. no questions asked— if Luna’s sad, tired, stressed — Mingyu’s solution is immediate physical affection: giant bear hugs, carrying her around like she weighs nothing, stroking her hair while she vents, if Luna’s hungry, Mingyu starts cooking without even asking.

Luna: “Gyu-Gyu, I’m kinda hungry—”

Mingyu (already chopping onions): “What do you want? Spicy? Comfort food? Say less.”

they genuinely feel like home to each other— in a loud, goofy, heartfelt way.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ what each brings out in the other:

Mingyu brings out Luna’s: softer, cuddlier side. lets her be small and protected without judgment— a rarity for someone as strong and self-reliant as her.

Luna brings out Mingyu’s: calmer, more centered side. helps him feel less self-conscious and more confident just being his genuine goofy, soft-hearted self. makes him feel seen and cherished beyond just his looks or talents.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ roles they play in each other’s lives:

Mingyu for Luna: emotional support teddy. the guy she can rely on to show up with hugs, food, and unconditional loyalty without asking for anything in return.

Luna for Mingyu: his fairy princess best friend who reminds him he’s worth loving even when he feels insecure. his anchor in the chaos.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ go-to activities / traditions:

Instagram famous duo— lowkey obsessed with aesthetic selfies of each other. most of Luna’s viral candid shots? Mingyu’s handiwork. half of Mingyu’s boyfriend-core Instagram shots? Luna behind the camera, making kissy faces to make him laugh.

fashion addicts— shopping is religion. Italy Nana Tour? they were the only ones serving FITS on the last day.

trying on outfits, rating each other like judges on a reality show.

Mingyu: “11/10. Wife material.”

Luna (laughing): “You’re so biased.”

cuddle monsters— Luna randomly launching herself onto Mingyu’s lap? normal.

the Insomnia Zero confession— during a Going Seventeen filming, Mingyu casually confessed— Mingyu: “Jiyeon-ah, do you know I have a crush on you?”

Luna (heart spiking): “Ya! Stop lying!! People will misunderstand!!”

the ‘Biggest What If’ of SEVENTEEN history. before JeongNa was confirmed, fans were OBSESSED with Luna x Mingyu. the ‘triangle’ era between Jeonghan, Luna, and Seungcheol is iconic. but Jeonghan, Luna, and Mingyu? Legendary.

DK & LUNA ─── SeokNa

i. OVERVIEW

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ dynamic in one sentence:

the princess and her court jester— chaotic sunshine besties with golden vocals and even more golden hearts.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ first impression vs. now:

the first time Luna met Seokmin, she cackled. not giggled, not chuckled— cackled. it was during a vocal warm-up session and he made a random comment in his overly sincere voice, something like, “Your voice sounds like a sexy GPS that would still lead me off a cliff— but I’d thank it for the ride.” and Luna, already tired from the day, just lost it. everyone turned like, What the hell just happened? but Seokmin? he lit up. from that day on, it became his life mission to keep making her laugh like that.

meanwhile, for Seokmin, the second he heard Luna sing for the first time, he froze. he wasn’t even being dramatic— he genuinely looked around like, is this an OST? are we in a k-drama right now? when she laughed at his jokes later, he considered it divine validation.

these days, they’re a full-on comedic duo. Luna looks at him and knows he’s about to say something stupid. Dokyeom looks at her and prays she reacts in the most over-the-top way.

Dokyeom: “You know you’re my favorite audience, right?”

Luna: “And you’re my favorite unpaid clown.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ how they got close:

their closeness solidified the moment they were paired for a trainee vocal evaluation duet. they were both already recognized for their vocals, but the moment they sang together, the room was stunned. the harmonies? illegal. their chemistry? undeniable.

after that, they started doing more lessons together with Seungkwan because of their similar ranges. but the real bonding happened when Luna, post-practice, flopped down beside Dokyeom and asked, “So do you actually warm up, or do you just wing it with those high notes?” he laughed so loud he dropped his water bottle. “I warm up! What do you think I am, reckless?” Luna, nodding— “Yes.”

ii. DYNAMIC

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ energy together:

they’re the definition of sibling chaos. Dokyeom is the dramatic, loud younger brother type who clings to Luna, pokes her side to annoy her, and suddenly breaks into song at full volume during silent moments. Luna acts like she hates it, but she doesn’t. she never has. she throws pillows at him while hiding a smile, grumbles while letting him braid her hair, and always gives in when he says, “Just one more TikTok, please.” it’s loud. it’s chaotic. it’s healing.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ the vibe when it’s just them:

when it’s just Luna and Dokyeom, it’s like being backstage at a sitcom. she laughs until she wheezes, clutching her stomach while he proudly bows after every dumb joke. but beyond that, they have moments of unexpected peace— like long car rides where they sing along to ballads, harmonizing perfectly, or quiet snack breaks where Dokyeom randomly goes, “You have the most beautiful voice, you know?” and Luna just blinks, emotional, then throws a cookie at him to avoid crying.

Dokyeom: “You gonna cry?”

Luna (teary eyed): “No, shut up, eat your rice cake.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ what each brings out in the other:

Dokyeom brings out Luna’s: inner goofball— he makes her feel like she can let loose, be dramatic, be silly, and not care about how it looks. around him, she doesn’t need to be polished or intimidating— she can just be Jiyeon, the girl who cackles and sings off-key for fun.

Luna brings out Dokyeom’s: vulnerability. she gives his chaotic sunshine a place to land. with her, he can be deep, honest, and vulnerable. she’s his safe space when his anxiety gets too loud. she’s one of the few people who can look at him and go, “You don’t have to make people laugh all the time. Just be you.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ roles they play in each other’s lives:

Dokyeom for Luna: DK is her comic relief, emotional support vocalist, and part-time therapist. he knows when she needs to laugh, when she needs to sing, and when she just needs someone to sit next to her in silence.

Luna for Dokyeom: Luna is his emotional anchor, the one who reminds him he’s more than his jokes. she’s one of the first people he goes to when he needs anything. he says she’s got ‘main character energy,’ but what he really means is— she inspires him.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ go-to activities / traditions:

karaoke nights where they battle for the highest note like it’s a literal war. random duets that always end up on staff members’ phones because “This needs to be archived.” they also have a habit of buying matching snacks at every convenience store stop and doing dramatic CF reenactments in the aisles.

Dokyeom: “You’re the singer, not the actor, remember?”

Luna: “Shh, this is Oscar-worthy.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ inside jokes / recurring bits:

they have a running bit where Luna pretends to be a snooty opera singer and Dokyeom acts as her overworked, underpaid vocal coach. Another classic: if someone compliments Dokyeom’s voice, Luna immediately goes, “Wow, and to think I taught him everything he knows.”

also, anytime either of them says ‘emotional ballad,’ the other starts fake-crying while dramatically mouthing a song into a water bottle mic.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ routines / habits:

their pre-performance ritual: quick harmonizing warm-ups and a ridiculous handshake involving three claps, a spin, and a “Let’s ruin lives vocally.” they also have a habit of pulling faces at each other mid-stage when the camera isn’t on them.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ their most iconic shared moments:

the trainee duet evaluation where their harmonies brought literal trainers to tears. Seungkwan cried in the back, claiming it was allergies.

the time Luna lost her voice and Dokyeomspent the whole week speaking for her, complete with a dramatic falsetto. “I am Jiyeon. I demand bubble tea and a nap.”

iii. NICKNAMES

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Luna’s nickname for Dokyeom:

Kyeomie, Dokyeomie, Seokminie, Minnie Mouse (because of the ‘minie’ in Seokminie), and occasionally ‘King Arthur’ when she’s being sarcastic.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Dokyeom’s nickname for Luna:

Jiyeonie, Ji-Ji, Royal Highness™ or Drama Queen Supreme (when she’s acting particularly bratty in rehearsals.)

iii. CONTACTS

chill guy kyeomie & drama queen supreme jiyeonie

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact names:

it’s entirely bit-based. if one of them does something iconic or stupid, it becomes the contact name for a while. ‘Chill Guy Kyeomie’ came from Luna spamming him with chill guy edits. he cried laughing. ‘Drama Queen Supreme Jiyeonie’ came after a studio session where Luna was pouting about receiving the wrong coffee order with Jeonghan trying to placate her

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact pictures:

Dokyeom’s pic: a screenshot of Dokyeom’s in the chill guy headpiece from the TikTok he did, looking like he’s about to drop the worst mixtape of the year.

Luna’s pic: her in a giant Christmas tree headdress during a fan sign event.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ have they changed their contacts over time?:

constantly. but these might stick longer because they’re ‘peak comedy,’ as Dokyeom insists. Luna agrees— plus, her contact photo of him makes her laugh every time she gets a text.

SEUNGKWAN & LUNA ─── KwanNa

i. OVERVIEW

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ dynamic in one sentence:

If the group was a high school, they’d be the theater kids who sit in the front row of the cafeteria purely to watch drama unfold— and narrate it like it’s an Oscar-worthy film. They’re sass personified who Gossip Girl are based after

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ first impression vs. now:

when Luna first met Seungkwan, she thought he was electric. his energy was loud, flamboyant, unapologetically himself— and she loved every second of it. “You’re like a human vitamin C shot,” she told him during their second vocal class together.

Seungkwan, on the other hand? terrified. “She walked in like the main character of a K-drama and I just knew I had to behave.” he confessed later that he thought Luna was going to be scary— too pretty, too composed, too cool. “She looked like she was judging everyone in the room,” he admitted, and Luna nearly choked laughing. “I was just hungry!”

as time passed, that fear melted quickly. they were assigned to harmonize together during at evaluation and Seungkwan saw the real Luna— funny, down-to-earth, a little unhinged once she warms up. “You’re literally a gremlin,” he told her after she cackled at his Mariah Carey high note impression. “A gorgeous gremlin, but still.” from that moment, they became each other’s human mic stands— always ready to back each other up with shade and harmony.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ how they got close:

their bond began in vocal class but was cemented in chaos. they spent hours doing warm-ups with Seokmin, and eventually made a habit of breaking into musical numbers while waiting for vocal coaches to arrive— one fateful day, while playing a chaotic round of indoor volleyball with Hoshi, Luna, and Seungkwan accidentally shattered a ceiling light. “That’s what we get for having main character energy indoors,” Luna said.

from then on, they were inseparable— singing, gossiping, and lightly traumatizing their vocal teachers with impromptu ad-libs and shameless runs. their volleyball rivalry is the stuff of legend— competitive, loud, and laced with brutal one-liners. “Try not to serve like you’re auditioning for a drama, Boo Seungkwan-ah.” “Try not to spike like you’re throwing a tantrum, noona.”

ii. DYNAMIC

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ energy together:

loud. ridiculously loud. the kind of loud that makes managers groan and other members sigh in secondhand embarrassment. they’re the sibling duo that was never related by blood but fully synced by brain cell— singular, because they share one.

Luna calls Seungkwan ‘my second child’ after Hoshi, and Seungkwan embraces the role with dramatic flair. “You mean I’m the favorite,” he says while dramatically fake-fainting into Luna’s arms while Jeonghan agrees absentmindedly.

they’re affectionate but snarky, constantly fake-bickering about who has better taste in music or who’s more booked and busy. It’s giving ‘passionate theatre kid fights in the group chat.’

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ the vibe when it’s just them:

chaotic peace. it’s still loud, but the type of loud that feels healing. you’ll find them whisper-yelling in corners, clutching iced Americanos and shooting each other side-eyes mid-conversation. If one of them hears a story, the other knows within 10 seconds. “Ya. Did you see?” “I SAW. Did you see who was tagged?!” whisper-whisper-gasp. rinse, repeat. their alone time is mostly filled with catching up on their ‘tea quota,’ impersonating the other members, harmonizing girl group songs, and screaming over whatever went viral on Twitter that morning.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ what each brings out in the other:

Seungkwan brings out Luna’s: sassier side— the one she usually keeps under wraps to stay composed. with him, she’s wilder, louder, lets her inner theater gremlin out. he gives her permission to not always be ‘the cool one,’ and she leans into that freedom hard.

Luna brings out Seungkwan’s: sense of calm and emotional safety. she listens to his rants without judgment, encourages him to rest, and is often the one to hold his hand through breakdowns he doesn’t want others to see. “You’re the only person who lets me complain for 10 minutes and doesn’t tell me to stop being dramatic.” “It’s because I am dramatic, Boo.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ roles they play in each other’s lives:

Seungkwan for Luna: is the ultimate confidant. her phone call when she’s mad. her midnight FaceTime buddy when she needs to laugh. he’s the friend who lets her be messy, petty, chaotic, and still hands her tissues at the end.

Luna for Seungkwan: is the emotional rock with the mouth of a sailor. she grounds him when he spirals, but roasts him while doing it. “You’re fine. And if you’re not, at least look good while suffering.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ go-to activities / traditions:

weekly ‘tea catch-up’ sessions— sometimes over iced coffee, sometimes at practice, sometimes under blankets on hotel beds. they also do volleyball matches (strictly 1v1), karaoke sessions where they impersonate trot singers, and impromptu live performances where they harmonize girl group songs with way too much emotion.

Seungkwan: “Let’s cover Antifragile but make it operatic.”

Luna: “Say less.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ inside jokes / recurring bits:

Seungkwan calls Luna ‘My Rival’ every time she sings a high note he can’t match. Luna calls him ‘Baby Boo’ when he’s being dramatic. they have a running bit where they fake audition for k-dramas in front of mirrors.

they also send each other random side-eye selfies with no context. sometimes in the middle of performances they give each other side-eyes.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ routines / habits:

texting each other tea while sitting next to each other. literally. even if they’re on the same couch. “CHECK THIS.” “I SAW IT ALREADY.” “WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME?!”

making each other laugh during performances by making funny faces at each other or changing their dance moves slightly.

They also always check on each other after long days. “Did you eat?” “No but I’m thriving on spite.” “Same.” “Eat with me.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ their most iconic shared moments:

when they went viral for side-eyeing each other at the exact same time during an award show. “Our side-eye was synchronized like an Olympic dive,” a fan tweeted.

that legendary karaoke night where they sang Into the Unknown in full Elsa and Olaf cosplay— yes, wigs included. Luna’s was cracking up, Seungkwan fell off the stool, and they ended it with a bow like it was Broadway.

iii. NICKNAMES

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Luna’s nickname for Seungkwan:

Kwannie, Seungkwannie, Kwanzilla (when he’s being dramatic), and Baby Boo. (the more extra he acts, the fancier the nickname.)

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Seungkwan’s nickname for Luna:

Jiyeonie Noona, Baby Bae, Her Royal Highness (when she’s being sassy), Queen of Side-Eye, and Mrs. Yoon (a recent one)

iv. CONTACTS

baby boo & noona bae

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact names:

they used to just be ‘Jiyeonie Noona’ and ‘Kwannie’ with selfie photos. but one day, Luna screenshotted a perfect side-eye frame from Seungkwan’s Weverse live and sent it to him with the caption “new contact pic.” he retaliated by cropping Luna’s cringing face from an interview and boom— iconic contact names and photos were born.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact pictures:

Seungkwan’s pic: his legendary side-eye meme from a Weverse live, mid-eye-roll, eyes squinted, giving full judgment.

Luna’s pic: her viral cringing side-eye from that one chaotic interview where she was asked a questionable question. her expression screams, “I want to evaporate.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ have they changed their contacts over time?:

only a few times. from normal to chaotic. and now, these meme profiles are locked in for life. “We peaked with these,” Luna said. “There’s no going back.”

VERNON & LUNA ─── SolNa

i. OVERVIEW

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ dynamic in one sentence:

the ‘unbothered sibling duo’— where Vernon is calm incarnate and Luna is the effortlessly cool older sister who enables him like it’s a sport. they’re like if Tumblr soft grunge and a meme account became friends and spoke exclusively in sarcastic monotone.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ first impression vs. now:

Luna spotted Vernon on day 1 and immediately went, “That child is a Disney prince in the wrong country.” she was 1000% convinced he was a child actor flown in for some campaign. “He could play baby Peter Pan or, like, young DiCaprio,” she once whispered to Jeonghan. Vernon, on the other hand, just blinked at her in soft confusion. “She was cool. A little scary. Kind of like a fashionable librarian who secretly knows your secrets” now? they’re those siblings who act like they’re not close in public but absolutely have a shared Dropbox folder of unhinged memes.

Luna: “You were literally adorable. What happened?”

Vernon: “I evolved.”

Luna: “NPC energy. Love that for you.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ how they got close:

it started with Korean lessons— Vernon, having lived in Korea longer than most people realized, would help Luna with the finer points of grammar while she bullied him with affection. he’d be quietly correcting her intonation while she was pinching his cheeks and calling him ‘Nonnie.’ their bond strengthened through Luna’s unchecked cuteness aggression and Vernon’s quiet tolerance of it. over time, he just… let her. even leaned into it. they found rhythm in late-night practice rooms and early vocal drills, with Luna sometimes bringing snacks and Vernon occasionally sharing obscure playlists.

ii. DYNAMIC

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ energy together:

imagine static noise but with swag. they are the human equivalent of lo-fi beats in AirPods during a fire drill. both are the calmest— if Hoshi is the chaos incarnate and Seungkwan is the dramatic middle child, Vernon is the too-quiet youngest they forget in the car sometimes. Luna enables his spacey behavior, sometimes joining in with a blank stare when he zones out. their shared silence is loud. their mutual confusion is telepathic.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ the vibe when it’s just them:

they talk like frat bros with unfinished liberal arts degrees. “Bro,” “Dude,” “Yo,” and “Deadass” pepper their conversations even when they’re literally discussing skincare routines. they can sit in the same room, headphones in, no eye contact, and still walk out knowing everything about each other’s day. they thrive in casual, mundane chaos. if a camera filmed them, the subtitles would just say “[Vibing in silence].” half the group’s memes are from overhearing the weird shit these two say to each other.

Vernon: “Bro, did you seen the new A24 trailer?”

Luna: “Yeah. I teared up. Didn’t even know what it was about.”

Vernon: “A vibe is a vibe.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ what each brings out in the other:

Vernon brings out Luna’s: apathetic humor and laid-back side. around him, she doesn’t have to be the perfectionist, the older sister— she can just be. no makeup, hoodie on, glassy-eyed, laughing at some Reddit post. with him, she unplugs.

Luna brings out Vernon’s: social muscle memory— he’ll engage more, talk more, show more expression. she coaxes out that hidden playful side of him he saves for people who ‘get it.’ with Luna, he jokes more, lets himself be dramatic, lets his dry humor flourish. their dynamic is one of mutual soft-core trolling.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ roles they play in each other’s lives:

Vernon for Luna: is the soft reset button. the non-judgmental sounding board she goes to when she wants to scream but doesn’t want advice. he listens, offers a “that’s rough, dude” and somehow it’s perfect.

Luna for Vernon: is the older sister he never had— who doesn’t force hugs, but will threaten to fight anyone who disrespects him. she hypes him up in private, embarrasses him in public, and has no concept of personal space. and he lets her, because deep down, it’s grounding.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ go-to activities / traditions:

late-night playlist swaps where they both try to out-hipster each other with SoundCloud finds.

watching obscure movies and rating them like they’re on Letterboxd, even though Vernon actually is on Letterboxd and Luna just bullshits reviews.

Luna: “This movie was like if depression had Wi-Fi.”

Vernon: “That’s actually so real.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ inside jokes / recurring bits:

“NPC behavior” is what Luna calls it when Vernon does something suspiciously neutral. he leans into it now.

Luna once ranted to him and all Vernon replied to her was “honestly same” which strangely made her feel better and burst out laughing, so now they say “honestly same” here and there.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ routines / habits:

they text each other memes, then proceed to not reply for three days.

Luna ‘borrows’ his hoodies constantly and he lets her because “you wear them more than I do.”

Luna: “Why do I have six of your hoodies?”

Vernon: “Idk. I assume you needed them spiritually.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ their most iconic shared moments:

a behind-the-scenes clip where Luna is fixing Vernon’s hair mid-interview, completely deadpan, while he’s talking about something existential. the video went viral with the caption “siblings who don’t speak but know everything.”

their accidental twinning moment during a music show when they both showed up in oversized neutral outfits and the stylists told them they looked like a matched set from an H&M ad.

iii. NICKNAMES

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Luna’s nickname for Vernon:

Hansolie, Sol, Nonnie, Indie Kid, “Jack. Jack, come back.” (whenever she wants to tease him)

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Vernon’s nickname for Luna:

Jiyeonie Noona, Luna Noona, My Dude

iv. CONTACTS

hansolie & jiyeonie noona

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact names:

they just stuck with what they called each other. that’s just how they are together.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact pictures:

Vernon’s pic: a blue monogram ‘H’ poster from the phone’s default contact settings.

Luna’s pic: a pink ‘J’ monogram poster from the phone’s default contact settings. Luna could’ve forced a funny photo on him like she did with Woozi, but with Vernon, the nonchalantness was the bit. the lack of chaos was its own inside joke. Luna demanded color coordination at the very least. it’s the only contact in his phone with anything other than the default grey.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ have they changed their contacts over time?:

they’ve changed phones. changed numbers. but the contact stayed the same.

DINO & LUNA ─── LuChan

i. OVERVIEW

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ dynamic in one sentence:

the ‘overinvested mom and her youngest son who can do no wrong’ — Luna spoils him senseless and Dino eats that up like it’s a five-star buffet. she mothers him without shame, he lets her without guilt. JeongNa’s eternally babied maknae.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ first impression vs. now:

the first time Luna saw Chan, he was all eyes and smile. he wasn’t even the youngest trainee, but to her? he felt like the youngest— something in the way he bounced into the room like a puppy in socks made her immediately want to adopt him. meanwhile, Chan was in awe. there was something about Luna that felt larger-than-life, like she belonged on the biggest stage already. and he latched on from the jump— an eager sponge, watching her every move and mimicking her dance style in the mirrors when she wasn’t looking. she caught him once and never let it go.

now? Luna still sees him as her baby. Dino doesn’t argue. if anything, he weaponizes it. she’ll pinch his cheeks and go, “My baby dinosaur’s so cute!” and he’ll shoot finger guns and wink: “Only for you, Noona.” barf.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ now they got close:

dance was the bridge. while their styles were wildly different— Dino sharp, precise, hungry; Luna fluid, confident, storytelling-heavy— they admired each other’s craft deeply. they’d stay after training hours just watching each other dance and throwing critiques like “You hit that too hard,” or “You can melt more here.” eventually, these post-practice sessions turned into deep talks about dance inspirations, childhoods, dreams, and why they started. From there, it was over. Dino had his idol and his mentor. Luna had her favorite child.

ii. DYNAMIC

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ energy together:

the definition of a loud mother and her son who uses it to his advantage. Dino is the fourth and youngest child of JeongNa, and it shows. while Luna is loud, dramatic, and endlessly affectionate, Dino matches it with a mischievous calm. he’s goofy around her, playful, constantly poking at her dramatic outbursts just to see how big she’ll go.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ the vibe when it’s just them:

it’s babying central. she’ll cook for him, fluff his hair, call him beautiful 15 times in a row, and Dino will just grin, cheeks stuffed, letting it happen. he thrives in the spotlight of her attention. they hype each other up so loudly their members have walked in and walked right out multiple times. they speak in compliments and giggles. she gets his inner child. he gets her inner nurturer.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ what each brings out in the other:

Dino brings out Luna’s: hyper-maternal instincts in ways no one else can. she’s always mothering people, but with Dino, it’s full send. she’ll rearrange her schedule just to make sure she’s at his solo stage recording. she’s cried at his dance practices like an actual proud mom.

Luna brings out Dino’s: softest sides— the childlike joy he sometimes hides under his professional persona. with her, he doesn’t have to be the ‘future of K-pop.’ He can just be Channie. the baby. the goof. the kid who dances because it makes him feel alive.

“You always make me feel like I can do anything,” he once told her. “That’s ‘cause you can, baby.” Luna replied.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ roles they play in each other’s lives:

Dino for Luna: he’s her emotional support dance child. watching him succeed feels like proof that she did something right. he’s also her eternal mood booster— his texts alone can flip her out of a spiral.

Luna for Dino: She’s part mother, part older sister, part hypewoman, part bestie, part therapist— an all-in-one emotional protein shake. he goes to her when he’s stuck, when he’s down, or when he’s proud and needs to show off. she’s his emotional safety net.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ go-to activities / traditions:

dance battles where they intentionally copy each other’s styles.

cooking together (badly). they once tried making japchae and nearly set the stovetop on fire.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ inside jokes / recurring bits:

Luna calls Dino’s solo dance parts “his power ranger transformation moment” every single time.

Dino once sent Luna a video of a literal baby tripping and said, “Me whenever you’re not around, just so you know.” She cried laughing and made it his birthday card.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ routines / habits:

Luna always messages Dino “good luck” before any solo activity. Dino always replies “For Noona!” like he’s running into battle.

Dino drags Luna to check his choreo drafts. She pretends she’s going to critique harshly, but always ends up gasping and saying, “You’re a genius.”

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ their most iconic shared moments:

that one viral moment during a behind-the-scenes footage where Luna screamed “THAT’S MY BABY!!!” during Dino’s rehearsal and made him turn bright red.

the time Luna threatened to fight a sasaeng on Weverse for stalking Dino. “You mess with him, I mess with your future. Say hi to your principal for me.”

iii. NICKNAMES

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Luna’s nickname for Dino:

Channie, Baby Dinosaur, My Baby

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ Dino’s nickname for Luna:

Jiyeonie Noona, Eomma Luna, My #1 fan, Mommy Dinosaur

iv. CONTACTS

my baby dinosaur & my jiyeonie noona

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact names:

very self explanatory. he’s her baby, he’s Dino and she is his only Noona.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ stories behind the contact pictures:

Dino’s pic: a literal baby photo of Dino with his cheeks puffed out. she refuses to change it.

Luna’s pic: a baby pic of her with her short bob and bangs and a shy smile on her face.

ʚɞ ⁺˖ ⸝⸝ have they changed their contacts over time?:

not in years. the nicknames and baby pics have remained consistent across multiple phones, even after backups. neither of them have the heart to change it. “Why mess with perfection?” Luna says. Dino just grins and replies, “Exactly.”
