<3 TXT OT5 ; HOW THEY COMFORT YOU WHEN YOU FEEL UNLOVEABLE <3
Comfort sex. Jk. But no, seriously. He sets the bedroom out all pretty and buys you a bouquet that's neatly set out on the pillow with a handwritten note in it. He's so soft and gentle with you, kissing you all over your body and whispering the sweetest words you've ever heard in your life. He gives you compliments and reassuring words until he's sure you've at least started to believe them. Afterwards, !!prepare to be babied!! cuz my god will be baby you. Snuggles. Squishes. He may even bathe you.
Soobin is a very go-with-the-flow type of guy, but he also has no issues when he has to take the lead to comfort you. He just holds you and kisses your forehead as you cry or vent, frustrated that he can't take your problems away. He has a list in his phone of all your comfort shows and movies, so you don't even have to ask him to put one on. He knows just what to do to make his baby feel safe.
Beomgyu would stop at nothing until he sees a smile on his baby's face again. And by nothing, I literally mean nothing. From the sounds of it, he's one of the most thoughtful people to ever walk the earth. If driving 2 hours in the middle of the night to pick up your favourite snack is what you need, best believe that's what's gonna happen. And he lets you choose all the songs in the car too, singing along and acting silly just to make you smile ; he always gets the balance of being chaotic and serious just right.
Taehyun is a rational and intuitive man, so it's like he just knows exactly what you need in every moment. He knows when to give you space and when to give you attention, and he knows exactly how to respond to your vents without making you feel worse or making it about him. He knows which plushies your favourite, what blanket is your favourite, what drink is your favourite, everything, so he's prepared for times like this. And if your problems are very serious, I can see Taehyun as the type to look into therapy and psychologists with you. He'll be your #1 supporter til the day you die.
Kai has said many times that he's not too great with emotions. So his solution? Cuddles. And lots of them. Cuddles, snacks, plushies, everything soft and warm. He doesn't know how to offer words of comfort all that well but he's a great listener and he's really empathetic, and did I mention, he's also a big snuggly baby. His cuddles feel like therapy. You know you're loved when his arms are around you, they're like a shield to the rest of the world.
