So before moving on to the post I want to thank @heartj4yn0 for giving me a chance to do a collab for the first time, it really helped my experience, thank you for the help and support!
You were really grateful to have Jaemin with you.
It had been just a year since you had moved in with Jaemin, your boyfriend of five years. You never regretted the decision, you really loved Jaemin, and he loved you too. Even though Jaemin did say the words “I love you” to you quite often, there was another way he would confess his love to you, without saying the words.
Most people who knew Jaemin, knew that he was an incredibly thoughtful guy, god, he was an absolute sweetheart, as sweet as sugar. He was, of course, no different with you. He never failed to cheer you up, and on, and he always made you feel special, and supported you wholeheartedly, in everything you did.
Your mornings with Jaemin started with a compliment from him. It didn't matter to Jaemin whether you had just woken up, your face swollen and hair messy, you looked beautiful to him anyways, and he never forgot to tell you that, knowing that you were a quite insecure person. “Good morning love, you look beautiful as usual.” A smile would paint your features at that moment, and he would love it.
When you spent nights studying for an important interview, Jaemin stayed up with you, even though you told him not to, he didn't listen, and refilled your coffee, sometimes muttering encouraging words into your ears accompanied by a kiss on the cheek and encouraging head pats. “You're working so hard, you're doing so good.” He would sometimes massaging your shoulders, and stay as quiet as possible, and the next day you would wake up on the bed, Jaemin sleeping beside you.
Jaemin always took care of you when you were sick, or going through your menstruation cramps, making you meals in bed, giving you massages, never forgetting the medicine doses, and accompanying you no matter how sick you were. It was almost like taking care of you was his hobby.
Out on a date with him, he would always think you looked like a dream, you were so pretty, inside and out, and he would flatter you with compliments. Something about you, made Jaemin fall for you more each time he saw you, he couldn't help but praise you, and compliment you.
And he knew you absolutely loved the occasional head pats and praises he randomly gave you throughout the day. When you would be cooking in the kitchen, he would creep up behind you, wrapping his arms around your waist, and he would say, “Are you cooking something? Smells delicious, honey.” and when you would stay up too late working, he would softly come over and place a kiss on your cheek, convincing you to go to sleep, “You've done enough today baby, you need some sleep now.” Somehow his sweet-as-sugar praises always made you obey him, and he never failed to give you butterflies, and made you feel valued and loved.
And that was how you realised, that the words “I love you” weren't always necessary for confessing love, because you knew that your boyfriend loved you, just by his sweet praises.
