let’s talk jae-ha relationship headcanons tbh. i’ve probably mentioned them but i guess i wanted to make like… a composite list. this is kinda written with modern in mind, put probably applies overall anyways. i’ll add to this when i think of stuff ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

one. jae-ha’s never actually been in a serious relationship. he’s somewhat averse to them; he’s got some commitment issues. one of the most important things in his life is his freedom, and he says that relationships would tie him down. really, though, he’s probably just afraid because he’s used to keeping himself at a distance from others. he’s guarded, he’s evasive, and committing to a relationship means he has to let people in. it’s going to be hard. he’s not used to it. physically getting close to him is easy; emotionally not so much.

two. because of the first thing, most of his relationships have ranged from friends with benefits type things to more casual ( open ) dating—which is basically the same thing to him. he probably has cut things off and withdrawn when it got to be a bit too much. he knew he wasn’t ready for it and wanted to stop before anyone got hurt.

three. he’s totally into terms of endearment. calling his partner dear, love, baby, princess ( or pince ), among others, is something he would do.

four. he’s very physically affectionate. he likes pda a lot. he’ll shower his partner in kisses and compliments. if he’s out with them, he’s probably always touching them in some small way, mostly unconsciously. also, sex isn’t the most important thing to him, but he does care about chemistry in that regard, because he enjoys it. he’s fine with waiting though. he would only proceed if his partner is comfortable tbh. he likes to be on the giving end a lot ( but ofc loves receiving as well ).

five. yes, he’s into grandiose displays of affection as well. expect lots of spoiling, probably in the form of roses. he’d like to play his music for them. he’d cook for them ( and wouldn’t mind learning how to do their favorite dishes ). he’s totally into the whole ideal boyfriend thing.

six. he doesn’t get jealous easily. he won’t be in a relationship with someone if he doesn’t trust them, so he won’t have any issues about jealousy. he does like slight jealousy in his partner, but over possessiveness would turn him off. he’s extremely loyal; he’d never cheat on his partner. he’s fine with them being a little clingy, but he needs his space. he can be clingy too.

seven. trust is his number one thing in the relationship!! he wants his partner to trust him, and he wants to be able to trust his partner. no trust is a no go. he’s probably thinking: why are we together if we can’t trust each other?

eight. he can be kind of flighty or moody at times. sometimes he’ll come off as withdrawn, just give him space. don’t force things out of him because that just gets annoying tbh. it’s better to let him say it when he wants to. he’ll do the same when his partner is upset—he’ll always be there for them. and he’s patient, take as much time as you need.

nine. lol at getting him to settle down for marriage, but if his partner manages, he wants a huge wedding. he wants doves. he wants roses. that’s all.

ten. couple costumes during halloween tbh. all that needs to be said.

eleven. don’t play games. he’s not into it lol. he likes a little playing hard to get before the relationship, but don’t string him along during it. tell him if it’s not working, if he does things that upset you tbh. but don’t try and change him.

twelve. he likes to tease a lot, verbally. he’d totally be into someone who could go back and forth with him. someone with a good sense of humor. this also goes with flirting, because he never gets tired of it.

thirteen. he likes his hair being played with. he actually doesn’t mind much where his partner touches him, except his right leg. it’s because he hates the look of his dragon leg. 

fourteen. if his partner is smaller than him ( which is pretty much almost guaranteed a lot of the time ) he loves them stealing his clothes and wearing them lol.

fifteen. he never forgets important dates. anniversaries, birthdays, etc. he has plans ready, whether a private dinner together or a surprise party, depending on what his partner is into.

sixteen. he’s a beast at darts and any type of aiming games, so he’ll win his partner all the prizes lbr.

seventeen. he’d prefer not to be the first person to say i love you. if he does say it, it might be accidental ( but he’s pretty cautious about what he says, so he might be drunk if this happens). he won’t say it unless he truly means it though.

eighteen. he’s not really into the idea of kids. will need convincing.

nineteen. sorry if he sexts randomly tbh.

twenty. he enjoys texting and social media a lot. so he’s big on taking lots of couple photos. he also is the type to text good morning and good night at the minimum, if it’s a busy day and they can’t really talk.
