Hey, anon! yeah I think I might have talked about them before, but I never mind answering things again <333

I think Kaisoo are very soft with each other in a way that neither of them is with other people in the band, which is lovely to perceive 🥺 Kyungsoo especially is extremely gentle and fond with Nini in comparison to how he is with the rest of the Exos. So, as a general irl interactions watching way, they charm me greatly and I think they're adorable.

In an rpf and speculative way, I deeply do not enjoy how they're portrayed in fandom and I don't much understand their popularity as a pairing. I think fandom does them both a disservice in the way they're generally written in fic and talked about as a pairing because people seem not to take into account their actual behavior irl when doing so and, instead, water them down into generic characters that do not resemble who they are in any way except their faces.

My personal opinion on them as a pairing (though do keep in mind I find Kyungsoo a bit illegible, and so am prone not to delve with any depth into his character so as not to make wrong or contradictory statements about who he is) goes something like this:

Having met after Jongin had, in all way that he could, soul bonded with Lee Taemin, Kyungsoo and he were never going to be anything other than friends. But they are very compatible as people. They share a baseline understanding of the world that is shaped around a dislike of social pretense and a passion for art and the authenticity it can present. They're both also quite shy and slow to warm up to other people in any meaningful way, so once they had warmed up to each other, they must have become very close.

I think it makes sense to read them both as bisexual, and both as more women-oriented though nonetheless into men. They both vibe like bisexual men XD It's delightful. And I think it's VERY clear, looking at Kyungsoo's behavior around Nini, that he finds him INCREDIBLY attractive. However, it is also clear that Kyungsoo seems to have a rule against being involved with colleagues because he values peace and deeply does not enjoy messy personal relationships. So, I find it hilarious that his boner for Nini seems to defy him and create problems for him XD

I think Jongin values him deeply as a friend and has lots of respect for Kyungsoo's craft as an artist. He also thinks Kyungsoo is beautiful. I have not ever noticed him looking at Kyungsoo with any sexual intent, though, only deep fondness. This probably makes Kyungsoo's life easier in a way; closing the door on an option that would give him a headache to contemplate.

I think I might be more amenable to reading fic (set in canon, because that is my preference on all fic) about Kaisoo if they took more care in how they characterize them both, even if they didn't adopt my thoughts on the reciprocity of the attraction in their relationship, because I think they COULD make very interesting stories!
