how they react to you calling them pretty/giving them compliments.
tags: established relationship, fluff, comedy, pet names used, they're a bunch of silly pretty boys hehe
a/n: it's been a hot minute since i've done headcanons 😮💨 these are kind of short but cute :P
— it goes either one of two ways, depending on his mood: a) he gets all flustered and red in the ears if you catch him off-guard (ex. he's cooking, cleaning, on his phone, literally just existing and yet he still looks gorgeous); and b) he'll give you a look that's borderline cocky and says "i know i'm pretty" but replies with a soft "thank you".
— if you catch him off-guard, he'll stop and stare at you like ㅇㅅㅇ? before going red.
— sometimes you just genuinely mean it, other times you do it on purpose to see his reaction (because he's so damn cute).
— he'll try to reason like: "what are you talking about, i'm just crouching here wiping stains off of the coffee table... ㅡㅅㅡ;" but then he'll mutter a small 'thank you' afterward.
— it'll put him in a good mood for the rest of the day and it's the cutest thing you've ever seen—there's a faint but permanent smile on his face and a bounce in his step.
— exhibit b: sometimes, he purposely dresses up so that you'd call him pretty. he knows exactly what you like him wearing (he got a hold of your pinterest one day but he never told you that) and styles himself up in the way he's sure would leave you flustered and speechless.
— he usually does it when you have a date or an event to attend, also because he believes good outfits shouldn't be wasted.
— so you'll dress up too, but then he steps out of the bathroom and your jaw is on the floor.
— his hair is slicked back in the way you love, the button-up—folded at the forearms—and the dress pants he's wearing match him perfectly, and is that your lip gloss he's wearing?
— in short: he looks stunning.
— sungho knows he's got you—you haven't said a word since he walked in.
"what's wrong, babe? does my outfit not look good?" he asks you.
"what?? no! it looks.. good, sungho. amazing, even," you sputter. is it hot in here or is it just you? (it's you.)
sungho gives you a look, eyebrows raised like he's asking you a question. you know what he wants.
"you look pretty."
the grin that splits across his face is blinding. "thank you, baby. you look pretty too."
— riwoo loves when you compliment him, especially when you call him pretty, but he never makes it obvious.
— he doesn't ask for it outright, but you glance at him and he's practically shooting stars at you with his pleading eyes.
— it's ironic too because every time you do, he curls up like a turtle and hides his face in your neck, cheeks and ears positively flushed.
— he tells you to stop but is so... far away... from wanting you to stop 😭
— throws the compliments back at you when he can't take it anymore; it literally turns into an entire compliment battle all the time (spoiler: you never win) and you both eventually come up with the weirdest things to compliment each other on.
"you look so pretty, riwoo! your hair reminds me of an albino porcupine!"
"thank you, my love. i love your nails, it's the exact shade of the red light in a stoplight." weirdos.
— also loves when you post him on social media and show off his style, it makes him feel so proud 😎 he's littered everywhere across your accounts and he gets so smug about it.
— reposts your stories with a "hehe >< thank you my pretty baby! <33" (he's actively kicking his feet and giggling while rewatching your story at least twenty more times)
— he loves being called pretty, handsome, gorgeous, whatever; he adores being complimented and basks in your attention all the time.
— shamefully asks for it at any time of the day; he doesn't care if you're at home or in public. he will sidle up towards you, wiggling his eyebrows, and ask, "hey, babe. don't you think i look hot today?"
— if you answer, he'll preen and give you an award-winning smile. if you're occupied with something else, he'll be all up in your space until you give him attention.
— if he's feeling extra playful, he'll snatch whatever's keeping you busy out of your hands and toss it (safely) somewhere behind him, pulling you into him and hogging you all for himself. you have no choice but to shower him with compliments until he's satisfied.
— on quieter days, the compliment from you makes him melt. you say a simple, "you're so pretty, jae," even when he looks like shit after a long day and he just... stops in his tracks, drops all his things, and flops to the ground.
he grins up at you with a lovesick look in his eyes from his heap on the floor. "you think i'm still pretty? looking like this?"
you cup his cheek, "the prettiest."
— taesan gets taken aback at first, especially when you say it out of the blue. it's not that he's not used to you complimenting him, but it's usually things like, "you're handsome," or even better, "you look hot today, sannie." (he definitely doesn't ask you to call him that)
— being called "pretty" isn't normally in his list of favorite compliments, but that's not to say he doesn't like it.
— of course, he isn't han taesan if he doesn't try to play it off. be all casual and say, "not what you usually call me, but i'll take it. thanks, love." but deep down inside, he's on his knees screaming into the void, heart racing erratically.
taesan, probably: SHE THINKS I'M PRETTY WHAT THE HELL I'VE WON AT LIFE I'LL RISK EVERYTHING FOR HER TAKE MY MONEY MY TIME MY LIFE MY LAST NAME—
— he's dramatic. sue him.
— when he's sure you're not looking at him, he grins so wide he looks like an entire idiot. he has to bite his fist to stop smiling and blushing.
— it gets worse when you call him "cute". you're not wrong—you think your boyfriend is the cutest man alive, too akin to a cat when he's being silly, so you can't help but coo at him and call him adorable.
— on the outside? taesan frowns and grumbles like it's the end of the world. inside, however, he's running laps and jumping for joy.
— in all honesty, try as he might, he can never hide from you. even if he fights to keep a straight face, eventually, he breaks and gives you the sweetest smile ever (to which, of course, you call him a cutie ^_^).
— this man is a sucker for being called pretty. maybe because it's you, but also maybe because he agrees. he knows he's pretty.
— it's a very common compliment you give him, and he glows every time he hears it. the biggest grin that has his eyes crinkling in the corners, the softest 'thank you' you've ever heard. sometimes, he just stares at you, hearts for pupils, and grabs your hands and squeezes them tight in appreciation. every time you praise him, he shows his thanks in the cutest ways.
— because of his reactions, it makes you want to shower him with compliments even more.
"hannie, your hair is so cute today!"
"you look soo pretty in that sweater, baby."
leehan literally just existing:
you: my boyfriend is so hot 🤤
leehan: (੭◌ˊᵕˋ)੭* ♡
— you're his no. 1 glazer. so what? he loves it.
— leehan also isn't embarrassed to straight up ask you for compliments. he'll walk up to you, put on his best kicked puppy face, and say, "honey, compliment me. please." tugs on your sleeve or hugs you for effect. and honestly, who are you to deny him?
— five minutes later, he's pinned you down on the sofa, half on top of you, while getting his hair stroked and sweet nothings whispered to him. he's in heaven, do not interrupt him.
— this man and his fake confidence!! like taesan, he'll act all cool at first; he'll go like, "who, me? i'm definitely pretty, i know that," but then one look from you and he'll break and blush like crazy.
— he'll be all loud about it too, trying to cover up being shy, like, "ahh, stop! don't say stuff like that!! it's so..."
"it's so what, woon?" you inch closer to him like a predator closing in on its prey, a mischievous look on your face. it's always amusing seeing your boyfriend flustered.
"stop that! you're scaring me!" woonhak yelps and runs away from you. you chase him down, cackling and calling after him, "my pretty babyyy, don't run away from meeee!"
— if anything, he loves it. it's just that he'd rather roll over in his grave before he'd ever admit it (you've made it your mission to make him admit it).
— sometimes, woonhak inadvertently asks you for compliments. at least, he thinks he's being sneaky, but he's quite literally the opposite of it. you think it's hilarious, but you won't tell him about it. let him live his delusion.
— he's dressed nice one day and is standing in front of a mirror. he runs a hand through his hair and sighs like he's troubled.
"hey, y/n."
"hm?" you look up from where you're cozily curled up on the couch, book in hand.
"...don't you think i look good today?"
you smirk at the back of his head. here he goes again. "do you? i didn't notice."
woonhak whips his head around, exasperation and betrayal written all over his face. "oh come on, babe! look harder." he raises his arms and twirls around for effect. you laugh heartily.
"no, i still don't see it, woon. i'm sorry."
"don't make me come over there and jump on you."
"just kidding! you look pretty, as always."
