svt + when they overhear you talking lovingly about them
S.Coups ❧ He knew you were calling with your friend, but the call was taking too long and he wanted to order food. As he was about to knock, he heard you chuckle. But in a way that was reserved for him. He stopped, surprised, and before he could get it together, he heard it. He wouldn’t admit it, but he got teary eyed. Hearing you talk about him in such a way, with that special chuckle, and your little yes, geez, I get it, he’s handsome on top of all that too, but he’s like the perfect husband material! before you changed the topic made him just melt on the spot and be overwhelmed with emotions. He’d wipe under his eyes and take a second to compose himself before walking away. He’d order your favorite food, your favorite desserts, everything he knew you loved. Once you finished the call, a feast would be waiting for you along with a very bashful Seungcheol. You wouldn’t be leaving his arms, or his lap for the rest of the day. He’d stay nuzzled into your neck and kiss you any chance he got, your words running in his head. He wouldn’t admit what happened in fear you wouldn’t talk about him that way to others anymore. It’d be the most whipped you’d ever see him. That little moment would give him strength in the hardest times, and would make him hold you tighter, kiss you longer whenever he saw you. He might become more open about his feelings towards you too. His insecurities didn’t disappear, but he’d have much easier time fighting them.
Jeonghan ❧ His heart would flutter. He didn’t mean to hear the conversation you were having with your mother while he was in the bathroom, but just as he was about to round the corner, he heard everything he needed to know you were the one. The compliments were nice, sure, but what really got his heart almost beating its way out of his chest and to your feet was you talking about what he means to you and how you said it. While you struggled with words, your voice was filled with so much emotion he knew exactly how loved he was. He would have a gentle smile on his face the whole day that he couldn’t get rid of if he tried. He’d hold your hand the entire way home and cling to you once there, usually back hugging you any chance he got so he could hide his face into your shoulder or neck or hair. His teasing would be at an all time low. He’d think of something he could do to tease you, but one look at you and he just wouldn’t be able to do it, your words immediately popping up in his head. So he’d instead just walk over and pull you close, kissing you and between the kisses ask you whether you knew how much he loved you and that he’d do anything for you. It’d take a couple days for him to process it and then he’d probably sit you down and want to have an honest talk about your feelings and maybe your future together.
Joshua ❧ Should he cover his ears? Should he make his presence known? There’s a smile on his lips as he listens to your tired ramblings. He wonders what it is that you’re doing exactly, but he finds himself unable to move. Your voice, quietly murmuring of your feelings towards him, words he always felt in your gaze, make him relax after a long day. Eventually he does move, opening the doors to your bedroom. He startles you in the process, but you relax as soon as you see him, the plushie he’s gifted you this anniversary pressed to your chest. So that’s who you’ve been talking to. He’d crawl to the bed with you, pulling you into his chest but gently tilting your head so he could look into your eyes. He wouldn’t admit he’s heard you, instead he’d open up his heart to you too. Between kisses, he would tell you of his own devotion to you, the gratitude he feels for having you in his life. He’d take your hand and put it over his heart so you’d feel it beating for you and know he’s not teasing you. His reaction wouldn’t be a big one, but he’d feel a certain kind of serenity inside and he’d be reassured that the two of you have a future together. For the next couple days, whether alone or in the company of others, whenever your eyes would meet, you’d both instinctively smile, that fateful night hanging like a private secret between you, filling you with warmth.
Jun ❧ So shy. He panics and makes his presence known right away, which he regrets later - what other words would you say that would make his heart ready to burst? But also because by announcing himself immediately, he didn’t have any time to calm his beating heart or to compose himself. You ask him something, but would have to repeat it a couple times before he really hears the question. There’s a smile on his face that he can’t fight back and it’s pretty obvious he heard, so you’re shy together. He jokes around a little bit to make you both feel more comfortable. In reality he’s still processing the amount of love and feelings he’s now aware you have for him. Not that he didn’t know you love him before, but he supposes he hasn’t known. Over the next couple hours, he’d probably occasionally sneak up behind you and murmur equally sweet confessions into your hair. He’d want to do a hundred things with you to prove he means every word he said, and that he deserves you thinking about him as high as you do. Still, he’d probably ask if you really meant it and would have a hard time not melting into you when you say you did. He wouldn’t be able to fall asleep. He’d want to watch you and he’d wonder what he’s done to deserve you, holding your hand as you dream. You might wake up the next morning with him cuddled up to your chest. It’d take a bit for him to deal with all the feelings, he’d space out more often.
Hoshi ❧ He literally squeals when he overhears all the affectionate things you say, but he's very quiet so you don't find out. His heart is racing and he just wants to run back to the table where you gush about him to your father and squeeze the life out of you, but he knows he can't. He does his best to calm himself down but he's so giddy and almost bouncing with excitement it's obvious something's happened, but he brushes your questions off and makes an excuse. Once it's just the two of you, he'd cling to you and pepper your face with kisses. He'd shower you in his own love confessions and secrets he's never told you because he thought he was the only one in so deep. But he'd also sulk because you said those things without knowing he heard so it somehow seems more genuine than him telling you to your face, even if you reassure him that he's making you feel just as special. Maybe you'd both spend a large portion of the evening cuddled together and sharing your thoughts and feelings about the relationship, each other, and shed a few tears because you love each other so much. He'd definitely get even more matching items for you to wear because he needs to show you off but can't really do that. He'd be a mush, very whipped for you just as you'd be for him, he wouldn't be able to stop thinking or talking about you. He'd hope you'll also overhear him, so you know he was honest with you and he’s not afraid to show to everyone how much you mean to him.
Wonwoo ❧ He'd quietly step back with a shy smile. He can still hear you giggling and spilling out your heart to someone on the phone, and he doesn't quite know what to do with himself. He feels warmer, fuller inside, like something just clicked into the right place. He'd pace in the living room for a while, maybe whisper-shout an excited yes while pumping his fist in the air or something. Not even finishing a hard game ever made him feel so good. He'd feel proud, but most of all grateful. Grateful for you, and grateful that you understood him even if he sometimes struggled to show you his feelings. After you joined him again, he'd suggest doing the thing you've been mentioning you'd like to try lately but he either never had the time or hasn't felt like it. He'd offer to teach you the game you wanted to play with him, under the condition he'll have you on his lap. This time it's him who's having a hard time focusing. He'd be more affectionate in a lowkey way - like his touch lingering a beat longer, or his hands grabbing yours randomly. When you call him out on the sudden change, he'd just shake his head and kiss you, whispering a thank you against your lips without further explanation. Something in the way he looks at you would change, his eyes would be softer, somehow. He'd be more protective of you when you're outside and among people as well, as if overhearing you would only prove to him more that he needs to treasure you and never let you go.
Woozi ❧ He just finished the recording and was about to get you and let you back inside the studio when he overheard another voice he recognized. He couldn’t tell who exactly it was, but it was one of the members - asking if Jihoon treated you right. He was about to smack some sense into whoever it was when he heard your giggle. That private cute sound you only ever made for him, followed by a long answer, rambling really, that hit him hard. He felt his face turning red and he felt lost. It’d make him reflect. He knew he was far from a perfect boyfriend. He was busy, he struggled to express his feelings to you, to open up to you, but you still loved him so much? You still felt so many things about him? He wouldn’t know what to do. Overwhelmed, he’d retreat back to his computer and take some time to calm down. It wouldn’t be obvious something’s changed with him right away. Maybe his hand would find yours a little more often, maybe he’d stop doing whatever and just listen to you intently while you talked. But once you get sleepy, he’d go home with you, arguing he’s done enough for the day and wants to spend a little time with you. It’d be the last push he needed to allow himself to be more vulnerable around you, and slowly he would. He’d try to tell you he loves you more often, even if he stuttered or got flustered. He’d try making you a song, but none of them was perfect. Maybe he’ll leave bits of the lyrics scribbled on a paper somewhere for you to find.
DK ❧ One would think he won the lottery the way he’s smiling. His whole face shines and he only takes a couple seconds to compose himself, because otherwise he’d burst into your room and smothered you in a hug. Still, when he knocks and opens the door, you can tell he heard. You can’t really be embarrassed when you see the effect it had on him, though. You’d give your answer to whatever he had to ask you about and return his bright smile. When you join him again, there’s a coffee and some dessert waiting for you. You have no idea how he managed to get it, but it matches his own piece of cake. He’d apologize for overhearing your conversation, but he’d ask why you were talking about him in the first place. It’d turn into sharing how you usually speak of the other with other people, as you both realize that sometimes you might feel neglected and lonely with your busy and often clashing schedules when you often don’t even have the time to appreciate one another. It just might evolve into a wholesome bonding discussion over sweets, mixed in with a little match of who can come up with better compliments for the other. He’d feel more reassured about your relationship and would think about that moment every time he felt insecure. He could never talk about you again without thinking about it and smiling to himself. He’d get more mysterious talking about you too, no longer having words to properly explain how much he loves you.
Mingyu ❧ He’d freeze. He heard your voice from the kitchen and wanted to check on you, but instead he got to hear all the things he wished to hear and more. His eyes would water a little, but he’d still be unable to move, until you bumped into him, having ended the call, and saw him standing absolutely still with his mouth hanging open. He’d be so flustered he’d struggle to get words out, but he’d compose himself a little when he saw you were just as shy and complaining that he wasn’t supposed to hear and that it was embarrassing. He’d whine and pout, asking whether loving him was embarrassing. He’d cling to you, maybe get a little teary eyed watching you as all your words sink in. He’d try to come with a way to tell you what he feels too, but nothing feels right. Everything feels too shallow and his feelings for you are so deep. He’d try to make up for it by hugging you tight with your ear over his heart, as if you could tell exactly what he means by his heartbeat. Any time anyone says that you love them, he’d proudly state that you love him more and you wouldn’t be able to tease him when he looks so happy and whipped for you. Still, he’d also feel more pressure and would worry that he could do something to change your mind. He wouldn’t take those feelings for granted, instead he’d consider them very fragile even if they weren’t, and would try his best to the point you’d need to tell him to calm down and reassure him you aren’t going anywhere even if he messes up a little.
The8 / Minghao ❧ He knows he shouldn't. He should tell you he's awake, or move, or something, not pretend he's still asleep just to hear you. But he can hear your hesitation, he hears how much you struggle to get the words together and how hard you think so it'd sound perfect, and he knows you'd never tell him if he was awake. He lies to himself thinking he's practicing his acting. He only "wakes up" a few minutes after you stopped talking and he turns and buries his head into your tummy. He'd hug you, refusing to let go. He'd often lay his head on you or hold your hand, maybe even stretch his legs over your lap, anything that either makes you both connected or marks you as his. He'd also pretend to be sleepy to murmur sweet nothings to you without being suspicious. Anything you'd mention might turn into a granted wish. Your muscles are sore? You're getting a massage. You're craving something? Give him a second and he's ordering it or running to the store. Also you're not bathing alone. He'd want to be with you, wash your hair and body for you and worship you just to prove you're right for choosing him. He's secure in your relationship, but hearing you made him proud of you for expressing yourself even if he wasn't supposed to hear, not to mention he loves affirmation. Might repay the favor when you're resting in his lap and he knows you're already awake, just pretending to sleep so he'd play with your hair longer. Then he also starts talking…
Seungkwan ❧ He heard you chuckling inside the room with your friend and smiled too, bringing you some lemonade to drink. He stopped in his tracks, though, when he heard your friend asking about your relationship. He expected you'd have a sassy response, so when you answered in all seriousness and said what you said, he nearly forgot about the jar until it almost fell from his hands. He should've left, he knows, but he needs to give it to you… He'd be shy as he finally decides to step in and leave it on the table for you two to drink. And he'd be even shyer after it's just you and him. He'd fidget with his fingers and avoid your eyes with a nervous smile. You'd need to make him look at you, cup his cheeks and ask what's wrong for him to finally admit he's overheard what you said and ask if you meant it. When you say yes, he'd just let his head drop down to hide his smile. He wouldn't know what to do with himself, except coo and pull you into a hug, murmuring thanks after thanks. He might get a little emotional, because it really means a lot to him, especially because you said it just like that, without any prompting from him. It'd melt his heart that you weren't shy in showing others how much you love him. But he’d also ask why, what made you feel so deep for him. Long into the night you’d talk about your relationship and what makes you happy, stumble over words together, and realize just how much in love you are.
Vernon ❧ At first he was taken aback. Who were you talking about like that? Only when he heard his name did the dots connect. Your parents must’ve asked about how things are going - he’d know, he had a similar conversation with his own parents over the phone a few days ago and it’d seem you gave similar responses as he did. His lips curled up in a short smile. He’d let you finish the call as he went to wait on the couch and in the meantime, his mind would wander. It’d be a curious sensation to him - he knew he was loved, but to hear you talk like that about him with somebody else, it made him feel strange in a good way. When you found him, he’d still be thinking. You’d shake him out of his daze but before you could ask what’s going on, he’d hand you earphones and tap away on his phone, searching for the perfect song. Something slow, romantic in a melancholic sense, full of longing and yearning. It’d confuse you, but make you emotional as his eyes never left yours as the song played. He’d admit that he overheard, and would try to describe how it made him feel. He’d also tell you about his own response when his parents have asked. He’d ask you if you’re really as serious about the relationship as he is. Of course you are. Nothing much would change, but there would be a new sense of reassurance and security between the two of you. He wouldn’t have a big reaction, but in the days to follow, you’d sometimes catch him stealing a loving glance while you were just being domestic.
Dino ❧ He knew it was a mistake to leave you alone for any bit of time with them. He was just in the bathroom, everyone was leaving, he thought it’d be fine. It wasn’t. He couldn’t tell which of the guys asked, but he was going to have a stern talk with them. That is until you told whoever it was that they don’t have to worry and proceeded to make his mind malfunction. While you didn’t share much private information, it was clear from the way you talked how genuine your feelings were and he had to step away so he wouldn’t hear more or he was sure he’d get even more emotional. He’d pull you into a tight hug before you could say anything when you found him and just murmur a soft thank you and i love you. He’d pull you to bed, cleaning up could wait until tomorrow. He wouldn’t talk much, he’d just watch you and trace your face with his fingers as if you were something incredibly precious. He’d ask if you’d say yes again to dating him if you knew everything you knew now, if you ever regretted being with him. He’d need some more reassurance, just because he couldn’t believe it was real. He’d cling to you, barely allowing you to get up and away from him, even the next day. He’d be very soft and wreck his brain for any way he could show you his true feelings too, because words didn’t seem good enough - but he was also like this because of words, so in the end, he’d sit you down and basically confess again. It’d be too soon in the relationship to give you a promise ring, so he’d just hide it away until a better opportunity comes up.
