what- what do i…yeonkai?? Everything 😥 they…everything???? okay but in all seriousness i’ve been a loud yeonkaist for a very long time and when i got into writing fic for tubatu it was in 2021(?) so yeonkai’s relationship at the time was so wholesome and lovely. i think i loved their dynamic so much because yeonjun was so nurturing towards kai at this time and it was just really charming because at the same time kai was very clearly trying to be taken seriously as an adult lol. and in order to make this transition with his on camera persona it really looked like he used yeonjun as a way to step into his own maturity because he knew yeonjun would support him (this is all totally speculative btw i don’t want to sound like i know them personally im just observing what inspired me to write fic hsjsjs) so he started flirting with yeonjun on camera to project himself into a more mature image. and then that became the norm for them which is crazyyy. genuinely though i just love their dynamic together. i love what they bring out in each other and how they’ve grown together. i feel like being around kai both allows yeonjun to nurture and to play if that makes sense? he’s not embarrassed to have fun and be a little immature around him, but that’s because there’s a comfortability they both have with each other. yeonjun is always there to praise kai when he feels down on himself, he’ll drop everything if kai is having a struggle, he’s the biggest advocate for his dance, and he’ll always open his arms for him. conversely, i feel like yeonjun embraced kai’s growing up quite well and allows him to nurture and protect him in his own way. i think of little things like how kai always shields yeonjun with his own body in games, how kai comes to yeonjun’s solo shoots with treats and support, and how he never misses an opportunity to compliment him. they’re just very solid pillars for each other and i think they bring out the best in each other. of course they’re doubly fun to write fic for now that they’ve got a cute size difference thing going on but that’s just a bonus lol
