ZB1 (OT9) ୨⎯ love language ⎯୧
ੈ♡˳kinda domestic and fluffy, maybe even romantic
Not much to say, expect that I might be totally wrong but it's up to you if you agree or not.☝🏻🙂↕️
I do appreciate your own views and maybe even ideas for other scenarios.
I tried to pick two for each member, though it's kinda hard for some of them.... but in the end, it's all just part of my imagination.🥲
Here a quick guide for these who might not be sure how many types of love language there are and what they actually mean.
• Words of Affirmation: Kind words, e.g. using compliments and verbal encouragement or simple saying "I love you"; written notes, like sending sweet text messages or love letters; hurtful words cut even deeper for those who have it as their love language
• Quality Time: spending time together by doing shared activities; full attention on their partner; distraction and cancellation could feel like a rejection
• Giving Gifts: gifting someone thoughtful gifts, showing that they were thinking of you an dthat they know you deeply; gifts have a symbolic value, which is more about the effort and care, rather than the money; forgetting important events like birthdays or giving thoughtless gifts can be seen as hurtful
• Acts of Service: helping with daily tasks or in general being helpful by doing chores, cooking, fixing things, etc.; easing burdens, showing they care about their partners by taking work off them or by soothing their burdens; broken promises in form of laziness or failing to help can feel like ignorance
• Physical Touch: physical closeness, e.g. holding hands, hugs, kisses; strong presence by sitting close or gentle touches on the arms, etc.; distance can feel like physical neglecting and abuse destroys trust (it always does, as it should!!)

Starting wirh Jiwoong, it was a bit hard to choose two. I think Words of affirmation is definitely in the top 3. Eventhough Jiwoong is known to be a very silly older member, he also seems to be the most mature one, which is not surprising when you consider him being the oldest. Jiwoong is known to be a very good cook and I can imagine him being in charge of meals mostly. And even when you take the responsibility for cooking, cleaning and stuff like that, he will always help you and even if you tell him to just sit down, there is no way he will actually do it. He will be stubborn but in a very sweet and gentle way. He is definitely someone who is always searching for physical contact, soft touches on your hands, arms, legs, waist and lower back. You're going somewhere filled with people? He will either firmly but gently take you hand or place his hand on your lower back/waist and lead you through the crowd. Or when you join him and his friends outside, he will always leave a space for you so you can sit next to him. One very specific thing I see him do everytime you're in the car together is him resting his free hand on your thigh, gently stroking of the part with his thumb.

For Hao, I am pretty sure that affirmative words go both ways. He likes to use them but also receive them. Eventhough I think Hao is not the type to say "I love you" out loud often, he will definitely make it up by telling you how proud he is or that you did well. He is probably a big texter too, always using emojis to express himself better and showing you his love. His words leave a very strong impression and he is very careful with them if he senses that the situation is very serious. No matter if he is an idol or not, I think Hao will ALWAYS be a busy person, also a person with many friends. So it's even more important for him to make time for you and only you. Even if it's a romantic dinner at home, cooking together and just enjoying the togetherness. He won't allow any distraction, the solely exception being SanSan! Hao will definitely try out things he doesn't like but as long as it makes you happy, he is willing to try.

Choosing only two for this guy feels so wrong because he is the biggest love bug ever. I don't know why but Hanbin is really the picture perfect guy of a boyfriend. Hanbin is the perfect leader too and always seems to care for everyone, especially the people close to him. He probably won't even let you lift a finger and if you somehow manage to do something, he will be following you closely and try to be accommodating. He is definitely a very doting partner and will do everything so that you feel well. You have a bad day? He can already sense it before you can tell him and will probably get your favorite treat to suprise you. I can see him eat all the sweets you don't like, e.g. gummy bear colors that you absolutely despise, so only your favorites are left. Yes because he is so serious about you. And god, he will be the most romantic person when it comes to words. He won't shy away from telling you of much he loves you, not even infront of others. Expect cute text messages or love letters, especially when he is gone for some time. Usisg pet names to call you is his favorite. Darling, princess/prince, Sweetie, my love....You sometimes question how a perfect person like him is even existing.

Matthew is just such a cutie, I can't stress this enough. He has this oblivious kind of vibe from time to time that just makes it hard to not love him. His hugs feel so energizing, so everytime you feel low on energy, just reach for your him and he will gladly comply. You probably don't even need to ask for yourself though because he will just straight up nuzzle you and smile with that sweet smile. He will definitely always hold your hand, no matter where you are and the circumstances. Distance? What even is that? And if you whine about how hot you feel during summer, he will just pout and whine too, telling you how he doesn't mind feeling hot and sweaty. With Matthew, it will never be boring. Matthew is a very active person and somehow very fearless? Seriously, you could do everything with him. And he loves to take you out on dates, you're his favorite person and who could be a better choice to try out new stuff than his most beloved person? No matter if it's buying new pokemon cards, a trip to the beach or trying out this new rollercoaster, you're his first choice. Always.

Similar to Hao, I think Taerae doesn't say "I love you" directly that often but if he does? Well, it feels like nothing else matters at that moment because it just leaves the the biggest impact ever. He is always the first person to tell you how proud he is and how well you did. Definitely your biggest supporter and he won't hesitate to tell you uplifting words. Taerae seems to be a very realistic person but oddly enough, I think when he is talking to his partner, he will act differently and use his honey voice to sweet talk, ironically not on purpose. Does singing count to words of affirmation? Because he will always sing a song for you, especially when you feel down or need to hear his voice. It's funny how I have choosen the exact two types for him and Hao but it feels so different. Because to be honest, Taerae is not really an active person and feels like the biggest homebody out of all members. So naturally, Quality Time with Taerae most often means you're spending relaxing time at home or at places where it's rather quiet and calm - watching movies, gaming or visiting a nice café that he has heard of.

Who am I to deny the fact that Ricky will definitely be someone who spoils their partner with gifts. Yes, he is known to be rich but even if he wasn't, he would always makes gifts. They don't even need to be expensive, buying flowers or your favorite drink when he meets you just comes automatically. Still, from time to time he will spend a rather big amount on you and even if you scold him for not needing to spend so much money on you, it won't stop him. Ricky just screams elegance and luxury, so his partner needs to be spoiled too! But he will never just force anything onto you, he rather takes into consideration what you like and will buy you gifts according to that. And him being someone who is not the best at expressing his feelings and thoughts out loud, giving gifts is a way of showing his gratitude. Same goes for expressing it in form of actions. Buying you things is not only meant as a gift but also to make you feel seen and feel better. You just had the most stressful and annoying day and Ricky just knows that flowers alsways make you smile and forget your worries. Or when you've been feeling sick and he gets you this expensive vitamine set, quietly telling you to get better soon. And last but not least, he is definitely the type to always walk a bit in the front to hold a door for you, or open the car door for you, shield your head from bumping, holding an umbrella for you, etc. One of the biggest gentleman.

Gyuvin is such a playful guy, he really radiates puppy energy. Similar to Matthew, distance is a word that he doesn't really use in his vocabulary. Playing with your hands/fingers while just rambling about something or listening to you, playfully tapping along to a beat on your arm or leg, long and tight hugs randomly, especially from the back. He definitely enjoys you doing the same though, especially playing with his hair is something that calms him down instantly! And honestly, I cannot say for sure but I think Gyuvin also comes from a wealthier family so giving gifts is a must! He is used to give and receive gifts so he loves to hand pick gifts for you that he knows you will enjoy! Most of them are simple or just straight up cute. A cute plushie that he saw, which reminded him of you or a nice shirt that he wants to gift you (and he will even sneak in matching couple items!) A silly but cute keychain that coincidentally matches the one he already bought for himself? How odd! People always point out how you have the same things, wether it's shoes or hoodies. He will absolutely buy unnecessary expensive gifts like a set of mangoes that costs way too much (which recently happened with his father).

Honestly, Gunwook was also kinda hard since he seems to be someone who is very mature and romantic when it comes to romanctic relationships. Gunwook definitely is the person to also express his feelings openly via words but it fells like he thinks that actions speak louder than words, since there are too many people who are all talk but no action. So even if he tells you daily how much he loves you, he will do everything possible so you can actually feel it. Helping you with daily chores and never letting you deal with things alone shows his immense presence. His actions scream "I am here and I love you so much". Similar to Ricky, he will be a typical gentleman, holding doors open for you, protecting you and using the sidewalk rule. Heavy on him being the strong and big boyfriend, always carrying all bags or opening jars. For physical closeness, he will be a nice mix of Gyuvin and Jiwoong, depending on his mood. He always searches for you hand when you're outside, holding you close to him, alternatively resting his hand on your waist and lower back. But especially on stressful days, he will be super clingy, hugging you from behind while you try to do chores or holding you in a tight grip like a koala while you're both laying down. The best medicine against bad days is a cuddling session with him or just one of his bear hugs. In the end, Gunwook is just another member of the puppy squad, like Gyuvin.

Describing Yujin is somehow hard eventhough the decision about which love language fits, was not. Yujin is a very playful guy that seems to be too shy to actually express his feelings through words. His first time saying"I love you" to his crush/partner was probably in a very awkward, random way. But his actions are speaking louder. I think his way of expressing his love is definitely through food, especially snacks. I can imagine it like a typical school-romance kind of love, with him always buying you snacks to make your day. A stressful day with pressuring events awaits you? He will prepare a stack of snacks and flavored milk for you because he knows it always helps you with your trouble. Or when something burdens you, he might not know how to soothe you verbally but a cozy gaming and movie night with all possible snacks will for sure help! And the shy guy he is, he will probably deny that he planned all of this just for you. Instead, he will insist that it was just something he wanted to do instead. I don't know if it's because he is the youngest but I think his way of expressing love is rather innocent in a way that makes your heart flutter even more.
