do you think shuacheol would make a cute couple too?
uhhhh not to call out any particular user since I don't know the context of that tweet but if someone can think cheol dgaf about any member I really cannot fuck with their characterization of him. My man is adoring 24/7. My man is a servant to his twelve darlings. He sleeps like a baby when he has all thirteen members under one roof. It's a wild accusation - WILD - to say he doesn't care about any one of them.
Anyway, to answer your question there is no svt combination that I don't think would make a cute couple, tbh. You could draw any two names out of a hat and the worst I might say is "And they were both bottoms" but they will absolutely love each other and have so many cute moments together and I will still very much like to see them cuddled up together taking a nap and/or kiss with tongues. So yeah, I do think they're cute together! What you might really mean is, am I into them? And the answer is yes! It's just not a top ship for me.
Cheolsoo/Shuacheol can get my attention the easiest and quickest with their skinship which for Shua in particular seems very relaxed and at ease. I just enjoy Shua just being held close or Cheol just sitting in his lap and how it doesn't phase him a bit. I like him resting his head on Cheol's arm in OFD: 13 Castaway Boys because Shua feel like favors shorter, more overtly affectionate bursts of skinship than prolonged, aimless cuddles and the fact that Cheol was like nope, get comfortable, stay a while? I just really like to think about what that felt like for a kid potentially coming from a more western mentality when it came to male friendships.
I also very much like that Shua enjoys ragging on Cheol. Please, sir, call that Leo man out for being an attention whore. He deserves it. Make him do aegyo. Destroy his ego. And yet, Cheol cuts his finger on stage and immediately gets the two other 95z to look at it and coo over him. You are too inconsistent in your attempts to train him, Shua. Cheol knows he can still get away with anything. And then there's that little clip of Cheol massaging Shua's shoulders while Yjh gives him a candy because he's nervous about being good on Game Caterers. I just know that Cheol is happy to build Shua up and make sure he's confident. I know Shua needs that.
But what I can't deny is there are shua ships I like better, like junshua and seoksoo. Junshua feels like a little mystery box of "oh my goodness what could these two people who don't like sharing their personal lives be getting up to that we don't know about" and seoksoo, mostly thanks to deekay, feels like they're constantly on the edge of their sexual tension boiling over. Gyushua is also interesting to me, because boy do they like to show off some skin when they're with each other, boy do they take some interesting trips together, just the two of them.
Meanwhile, cheolsoo/shuacheol is just a lot more comfortable, humming along in the background, but I'd 100% buy it, 100% believe they could justify a 100k slowburn romance. I think if they fell in love it would be a very, very deep and solid connection.
