pheeewwww okay!!! are you ready?

SUNGHO
giving: acts of service 10000% (in case that wasn’t clear enough in my writing) he’s naturally very nurturing and loves taking care of others whether that’s cooking, cleaning, or doing favors for others. he loves to pamper <3
receiving: hear me out but… physical touch and words of affirmation. give him a hug and tell him he’s worth it cuz he NEEDS it, desperately.

RIWOO
giving: words of affirmation omfg. he wants to hear about your day!!! tell him about your problems he’ll be there to support you, always. he’s very perceptive so i feel like he always knows the right things to say and how to make people feel loved and worthy
receiving: tbh… i haven’t thought about this a whole lot but he strikes me very much as a quality time type of guy. like he’s content just spending time with the people he loves and he couldn’t ask for anything more

JAEHYUN
giving: PHYSICAL AFFECTION!!!!!!!! WORDS OF AFFIRMATION!!!!!! ACTS OF SERVICE!!!! he is so incredibly selfless i love him so much ugh
receiving: heavy on the physical affection and words of affirmation (again). i think he needs to be reminded every so often that he is loved and deserving of love—that physical and verbal confirmation is absolutely necessary

TAESAN
giving: acts of service and gift giving! loves loves loves doing things for the ones he loves and always remembers their favorite things so he can treat them to a little present (bonus if it’s customized by him!) not much of a speaker, would rather show his love through his actions because those speak louder than words
receiving: words of affirmation. praise him. tell him you love him. please. also quality time cuz he’s perfectly content just spending time with the ones he loves most, even if nothing exciting is happening.

LEEHAN:
giving: idk this man just gives off so much gift giving and quality time. like he’ll randomly hand you a trinket and be like “this reminded me of you.” quality time is spent learning about your interests and partaking in your favorite hobbies because it means more time together!!!
receiving: gift giving and words of affirmation. give him little trinkets and verbally remind him of your love cuz it’s always nice to hear

WOONHAK
giving: my baby my baby my precious baby!!!! i think he’s a quality time type of person. he loves hanging around his hyungs so much and i can only imagine how well this translates into his relationships with other people in his life
receiving: words of affirmation… he’s young and needs that reassurance. needs to know that there are people on his side!!! (and there are!!!!)

omg. okay. gonna be doing my top ships (they all include sungho but who else is surprised!!!)
kkeomchiz is very much two sides of the same coin so i treat them with a lot of delicacy because i feel like as easy as it is to build them up with their similarities, it can also end up being their downfall. it’s not so much a trope but i associate them with domesticity and acts of service—hence orange blossom as a fic.
next is myungnyangz!! gay chicken. two friends(???) who clearly want the other but don’t know how to go about it so they gotta hide it behind stupid ass bets. guys you can just kiss it’s okay nobody’s judging.
and now mulnyangz… doomed yaoi. opposites attract and right person wrong time. this may or may not be because of the projects i'm working on rn. you’ll get it soon.
