chan:

chan is definitely extremely interested in the music you listen to.

in fact, sometimes he’d probably insist that you show him your current playlist from start to finish lol.

i can imagine y’all hanging out at the dorms, maybe even mid-cuddle, listening to some of your recent favorites.

but there’s this ONE SONG--

your absolute JAM

you get up from your seat or the bed and start completely jamming out.

he stays where he is so he can watch you have the time of your life.

i guess nobody told him you’re a professional lip syncer… awk...

you grab a hairbrush and hold it up like it’s a microphone.

honestly you’re thriving,,

he’s kinda stunned. not in a bad way, but he’s just so mezmorized by how cute (and maybe a lil sexy) you are when you dance like no one’s watching.

there’s a particularly awesome beat drop toward the end of the song, which leads you to do some equally awesome head banging.

he’s cackling at this point, which drives you to act even sillier.

*ending pose*

once the song ends and you’re trying to catch your breath, he slowly starts clapping for you.

“the song was great, but the performance was even better,” he’d say, coming off a bit sarcastic. but he means well!

you start to get a bit self-conscious and shy as you put yourself together again.

he’ll try to comfort you, standing up to wrap you in a hug.

“don’t be embarrassed!” (cue soft chan),

“baby that was awesome”,

“you should join a rock band!”, etc.

overall, he’d love it when you share your music taste, and this event will probably set off a chain reaction of similar jam sessions in the future.

minho:

ok so we all know minho’s a cat person, blah blah blah...

but what if you got super excited about a really cute dog?

let’s say you’re on a walk at a park, holding hands, and talking.

all of a sudden you see someone walking their dog…

and when i tell you this is the cutest, tiniest dog on the face of the earth,,,

you immediately stop walking and squeeze minho’s hand. you point to the dog and start freaking out because it’s so cute.

he’d say something silly like, “what are you talking about? it looks like a rat.”

you disregard it because you’re just so excited about this puppy!

“can we pet it?” you ask.

“... fine” he replies, smiling at you, despite his attempts to act uninterested.

y’all go over to the woman walking her dog and ask if you can pet the puppy. when she says you can pet him, you immediately sit on the ground, ready to have the best puppy playdate of your life.

minho’s still standing, watching you with loving eyes.

of course, you start talking to the puppy as if he’s a baby. minho laughs, trying to stifle all the uwus emanating from his heart

the puppy climbs onto your lap and licks your face just a little bit.

you look up at minho with wide eyes, saying “awww, isn’t he so cute!”

he’d playfully roll his eyes because why would he cheat on cats like that…

then you tug on his hand, motioning for him to sit with you. he does, reluctantly.

you place the puppy on his lap to see what happens.

the dog loves him! (of course, because what living thing wouldn’t love lee minho?)

the puppy is licking minho all over as he makes faces of disgust and struggles to pull him away.

you laugh out loud, happier than ever at the two very good boys in front of you.

he smiles again, completely endeared with your excitement despite being covered in puppy spit...

so, it doesn’t matter what kinds of animals you two prefer, since you’re the cutest thing he’s ever seen. (aww)

changbin:

i feel like changbin is the type to not be ashamed of/shy about showing you the songs he’s writing.

...except for right now.

he just got home from the studio, dropping his bag onto a table… but some papers fall out.

you attempt to grab the papers, but changbin stops you and grabs them himself instead with a subtle hint of nervousness.

pretty suspicious if you ask me.

“what’s up?” you ask, a bit confused about what just happened.

he’d try to play it off like nothing suspicious was going on, but you know his poker face.

it’s too cute not to notice.

he likes to play all tough but you (and everyone else tbh) know him better than that.

you go to grab the papers, but he steps away. you try again… and again, and again, and again.

you become increasingly more frustrated and impatient with each attempt, until changbin holds them up high in the air where you can’t reach them. he has a look on his face that says ‘haha! gotcha!’

you’ve never done this much jumping in your life.

but you’re not a quitter.

“okay… i give up,” you say, returning to a stationary position and placing your arms around his neck.

however, just as he lowers his hands to your waist, you snatch the papers!

“AHA!” you exclaim.

all he can say is “damn it!” as you scramble to the couch with the papers in your hand. you sit facing away from him, attempting to speed-read the lyrics sprawled across the pages.

he follows you to the couch, trying to take the papers back from behind.

“binnie, these are so good!!”

“thanks… but were they worth betraying your innocent boyfriend?”

“yes. every word.” you finally hand him back the papers with a smirk.

he’d curse under his breath, ditching the papers in favor of tickling you instead.

what a terrible punishment!

hyunjin:

we all know hyunjin is a drama queen,,

you can be a bit of a dramatic person yourself (who isn’t?).

so when you lose your favorite sweater, you’re immediately going on a wild goose chase around the dorms, because that’s where you had it last.

you’re practically talking to yourself. double checking everywhere you’d been. retracing your steps like a mad person.

you need this sweater!!

you let out a little “urgh!” as you begin getting frustrated.

hyunjin would ask what’s wrong, and when you tell him, he’d GASP.

he’d be like:

“have you checked under the bed?”

“the couch?”

“what about over here?”

“over there?”

this boy will not REST until the sweater is back in your possession, wasting no time in matching your level of concern/dramatics...

… if not exceeding it.

y’all have practically torn the whole room apart at this point.

until finally, you find it in a random drawer (of course smh)

“I FOUND IT!” you’d exclaim, flopping onto the bed and putting the sweater on,

to which you’d receive a “YAY!” in return

tired and leaning against a wall, he’d say something like, “thank GOD! now, why do you need it so bad?”

and you’d simply and softly respond, “... i got chilly~”

he wouldn’t give a verbal response, but his face would go from relaxed to ‘bruh’.

you knew he’d be shocked at your statement, but you choose to tease him instead with a smile.

he would then opt to tackle you in the bed, fumbling with the covers and vowing to make you as warm as humanly possible.

jisung:

jisung definitely loves showing you the music he’s been working on, just like changbin.

except… this time, the lyrics aren’t necessarily what you’re used to hearing.

you can tell jisung’s a bit nervous as he presses play, choosing to keep his eyes on the floor as he nods his head to the rap.

you’re listening intently, as curious and excited as you are every other time…

but then you realize that it’s about you……

the lyrics talk about letting someone into his life and his longing to be even closer to that person than he is now.

therefore,,,,   u w u

you giggle, which prompts him to look up at you almost immediately with anticipation about your reaction.

you decide to wait until the end of the song to react, but you can already feel the excitement bubbling up inside of you.

the song ends, and you’re sitting in silence alongside jisung. “so… what did you think?”

“well… i think…” you trail off, looking into jisung’s eyes.

with a bit of a squeal you leap up from your seat and essentially attack him.

you straddle his legs (don’t get any *ideas* this is FLUFF for goodness sake) and wrap your arms around his neck, locking him into a big hug.

“i love it, baby. so, so, so, much,” you respond quickly and genuinely.

he laughs, his arms wrapping around you.

he’d probably remark, “you scared me for a second!”

you laugh in response, apologizing for your delayed reaction.

deep down, he’d feel so relieved that you liked the song and its sentiment.

he’d also be so happy to have you, his overexcited sweetheart, in his arms.

however, at the surface, he’d prefer to tease you. “next time, don’t make me wait so long!”

felix:

ok so y’all send memes and tik toks back and forth all day every day. it’s just protocal.

also,,, you could literally be in the same room, and he’d still just start sending you tik toks he’d saved just to send to you and see your reaction.

but there’s this   o n e

you can’t quite explain why but when you watch the tik tok that your boyfriend sent you from across the couch, you laugh harder than you’ve ever laughed before.

whatever humor you may have, this tik tok completely encompasses it in a beautiful, stupid way.

before you know it, you begin cackling.

felix knows that you’ve always been a bit embarrassed of your laugh (who isn’t, right?), so when you start letting loose he’s a bit caught off guard.

still, he joins in (at a smaller scale, of couse).

he always wants to see you happy, but this is a whole new level of cuteness in his eyes.

your laughter subsides a bit...

until you decide to watch the tik tok again.

believe it or not, it’s even funnier the second time!

you double over, laughing so hard that no sound is even coming out of your mouth.

“are you okay?!” he’d ask, laughing harder now at your actions.

he’d put his arms around you so he could hold you up.

you’d mouth out a “no” in response.

there are practically tears forming at the corners of your eyes.

he’d continue looking down at you with a beaming smile, holding you up until your laughter comes to a full stop.

“was it really that funny? i can’t even make you laugh like this.”

you’re almost dazed, your stomach hurting (in the best way possible). you try to steady your breathing.

after a few seconds of recovery, he’d whisper in your ear with a deep, silly voice...

“...wanna watch it again?”

it’s safe to say you won’t fully recover for a while.

seungmin:

on days off, you watch dramas with seungmin to take both of your minds off of work/school/whatever’s been keeping you busy.

however… of course you can’t go a whole episode without laughing hysterically, and it’s all because of seungmin.

it could be the most dramatic, intense, or heartbreaking scene in the show but he would make it into a full blown impersonation comedy routine.

ESPECIALLY if the drama is in a foreign language.

this boy will reinact all of the subs in the stupidest way possible.

but, today he’s a bit exhausted, snuggling up against you and not saying much.

our boys work too hard :((   (but wbk)

...so you decide to take his place.

you start off kind of hesitantly, waiting to see if he’d even react. when the main characters start to have an argument, you begin reading the subtitles in a silly voice.

you hear a soft giggle from your boyfriend has be tightens his arm’s grip around your waist.

you begin to use different voices for each of the two characters, alternating between a nasly, high pitched one and a lower one with voice cracks. this makes seungmin laugh harder, going from a giggle to his usual open-mouthed chuckle.

he’s so cute >_< ,,anyways…

as the scene intensifies, so does the volume of your impersonations.

“yOu’Ve bEtRaYeD mE!”

“BuT yOu LiEd tO mE!”

at this point seungmin is cackling despite his heavy eyes and unwillingness to move. he’d be so caught up in your routine that he’d forget he was even tired.

you look up at him to see that big smile and those sparkly eyes you love so much, which motivates you to be even goofier!

you sit up, leaving seungmin’s grasp. you begin making hand gestures to match your overdramatic tone.

the scene comes to a climax, in which you recite the final line with more ferver and fake passion than ever before. you finish it off with a fist in the air for ~emphasis~.

as you hold this pose, you hear your loyal audience member begin to cheer for you. he claps, whisper-shouting “ahh” to create fake crowd noises.

“what a show!” he would commend you with an expression of sarcastic awe on his face.

you’re really glad you decided to cheer him up…

but not nearly as glad as he is to have you with him on a day like this.

jeongin:

jeongin’s smile could literally melt anyone’s heart. everybody knows this.

i don’t care who you are, if you see jeongin smile, you either smile or cry and there are no other options.

i don’t make the rules.

so, when he shows you the ‘lovestay’ version of his latest dance practice, you’re bound to go insane with adoration.

as soon as his solo comes up and the camera zooms in on his sweet, smiling face, you give his cheek a little poke

you say, “that’s you!”

“shut up,” he’d respond, giggling.

“wait, i missed something,” you say with a sense of urgency. you take the phone from his hands, rewinding a few seconds.

he’d roll his eyes at you, getting a bit shy.

you resume the video until the boy in the video holds up a finger heart, at which point you press pause.

“look how cute!” you exclaim, looking up at jeongin and pointing back and forth between him and the screen.

“stop it!” he’s blushing (and you’re screaming internally at how cute he is) as he tries to refrain from making a big smile.

you poke his side, resulting in a small fit of laughter that forces his bright grin to peek out.

he swats your hand away, putting his arm around you

(partly to show his affection and partly to make you hold still)

you place your head onto his shoulder, resuming the video for the final time. “you’re too cute. i can’t help it.”

“but you’re the cutest...” he murmurs, almost inaudibly to someone who isn’t as close to him as you are now.

heat rises in your face.

you: “...stop…”

him: “hah!”

touché...

In that latest I am too old video is clearly visible that David is nervous being recorded with Monique. It’s like he doesn’t know how to react to strangers, in the public when M is near him and he is in the center of interest of random people. Funny thing is that M is clearly in a stage when she wants to be publicly recognized by David as his gf, she is leaning towards him so much she may climb him. She is clearly insecure about her public position in David’s life. This may be interesting tour

Deadbeat: “slow elevator, it’s embarrassing” ............. ?? 👀

time to overanalyze!!!

Disclaimer: overanalysis ahead... 

Overanalysis 1: 

remember that I am biased, but I was confused about him turning down the pic and i could believe that he really was tired since he was croaking and flailing around all night i’ll give him that but i also had the thought that he didn’t want to give a pic for free ? since he does those pricey “meet n greets”. though i think there are pics on instagram of him with fans at an airport? idk. i don’t want to make it too negative here and i will give him the benefit of the doubt in this case.  

but i just wanted to point out that the rejection of the pic, to me, was weird. + there was added awkwardness since he rejected them but then ended up just standing around the rest of the video. Because couldn’t the fan just as easily have walked up to him and then taken the pic? 

THOUGH I think it could be as simple as he was expecting the elevator to come so was ready to be on his way and maybe that could also be why he said the “slow elevator” was “embarrassing”, because he expected to leave but ended up stranded there (so it might have nothing to do with being embarrassed by their “partner”). 

So I will give the benefit of the doubt to him in terms of the pic rejection, so let’s look at how someone else reacted:

—

Overanalysis 2:

but just a thought from the last point… like

The “partner” doesn’t say anything to Dusty?? at all?... kinda weird?? wha happened to sitting on peoples laps and such 

like the way they just stare at him and turn their back on everyone else (kinda rude while the fan was talking but yeah the fan wasn’t talking to them so yeah i won't go any further with that) was like.... *sigh* trophy “gf” body language to me idk how to explain but it was like they were just standing there well they were but yOU KNOW WHAT i mean there was no interaction basically is what i’m saying and yes its basically reiterating your point anon.

what i mean is like… its like Dusty is the “celebrity” who has the last word but I mean well they probably realize this by now but having Dusty as the leader with the last word is basically like having a kindergarten class led by a preschooler with the appearance of a miserable 60 yr old like!!! lmao what i mean is like its like….. they were just following what he says or wants idk sorry that is overanalyzing to the max but i tried to imagine if he actually had a legitimate adult partner with him would they suggest to take the pic themselves or talk to the fan? its like the “partner” also buys into the fantasy that Dusty is some untouchable rockstar but again this is overanalyzing. 

--

Overanalysis 3:

HOWEVER him saying “no i’m tired i’m going to bed” and then looking at the “partner” was disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(edit: ok i looked at it again, the first time i thought he looked at the “partner” but the second time i realized that he just swivels in that direction and looks in the general direction BUT this is the only time in the video where he looks in that direction = overanalyzing to the max. and who else is in that direction? Matty? like ... ya not gonna go further BUT ALSO after he said that the “partner” looked at him quickly and smiled (insert vomit emoji here) )

--

Overanalysis 4: 

AND SRY lmao i’m going to make a comparison that only I find funny but ….. remember when boyfriend Pete took a pic with Gillian’s fans at her play I LMAO sorry its just a joke its not meant to antagonize anyone I just think its a funny lil incident of KISMET. 

--

Overanalysis 5:

The disparity between the “partner’s” behaviour here (real world footage) and how they act on SM. 

Here’s a thought: to take it to an extreme. Clearly, the “partner” is very comfortable with the camera + sensationalist pics. So, why were they turning away form the camera/fan who was talking so much? but yeah idk it could just as easily be that they were tired or literally just standing around for an elevator but the interaction between them and Dusty AND Dusty’s fans is still weird. 

Guess 1: they are ok with “footage” (sensationalist/suggestive pics) of them (seemingly) with Dusty… as long as they are in control :-) or have their stage set up so to speak :-) 

Extreme Guess 2: they didn’t want to be seen in this situation WHERE DAVID IS clearly uncomfortable with them + IGNORING THEM. (probably not though)

What i mean: its so odd like..... we have said so often and so easily say that this person is ruining D’s life w/e and they are breaching their privacy (and yes they are breaching his privacy and yes they are disrespecting him) but seeing something like this, where they can't talk to him (if Dusty only want basic acknowledgment in private it is an injustice, idc thats my perspective, especially with the “partnership” going on for this long), are being ignored i mean it begs the question who is in control?? 

to take it to an extreme: maybe all the SM shenanigans are their way of acting out because that is the only thing they CAN control. but again we do not have all the information.

--

Overanalysis 6: 

This is just my perspective but I feel that when Dusty is under pressure or is confronted with a question or basically anything that gets too close to admitting a “truth” or 

blah blah what i mean is that when he is uncomfortable, he tries very hard to play it cool (examples: jokes, deflects, distracts) in this case you could say that he was talking a lot to fill up the awkward silence or not have to acknowledge the “partner” - by being busy talking to someone else, even though he was not obliging their request for a pic.

—

Overanalysis 7: 

going off of the last point, I think Dusty took the “playing it cool” a.k.a. trying to deflect and basically ignore someone even just looking at that paper with more interest than in his own “partner” was just going too far here and he just ended up looking like an asshole. 

Basically i’m repeating myself but dude for how long you’ve been together just own up to it already. The hiding, deflecting blame, making others feel shame for using SM, lying, and trying to have things both ways is only making his horrendous situation look even worse !!!??!?! it looks terrible. 

--

Overanalysis 8: 

the video just emits that creepy, detached, strange, confusing, and disturbing disturbing feeling that uhhhhh  well has there ever been a pic or video of these two that isn’t any of the above?? 

again for how long they’ve been together why is the synergy like THAT (and yes the process of deduction will lead you to a disgusting conclusion so pls don’t reiterate it for me lmao)

--

Overanalysis 9: 

Dusty: “slow elevator, it’s embarrassing” 

HMMMMMMMMMMT???? why use THAT particular word o flowery language lit degree Dustvid ???!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! ok yeah sorry lmao i’m probably overanalyzing like crazy but..... how is that “embarrassing”????? its not like..... he controls the elevator or ???? could it be he feels......... EMBARRASSED? heheheheh.............................. idk, overanalyzing obviously lmao!!! 

--

Overanalysis 10:

POOR MATTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg what did he do to deserve this :’(
