KARINA
Karina would resemble the four horsemen of death.
As the leader of Aespa, people tend to view her as a cold and analytical woman, always planning her next move.
The idol seems untouchable.
Distant from the rest of the world, she commands the influence of the media and her peers with ease.
Most people admired her, but couldn't distract themselves from their underlying fear of the calculating woman.
From afar, she seemed like someone who wasn't made for love, or someone who didn't fall in love too easily. Yet, when she set her eyes on you, she knew what she wanted, and she was going to make sure she claimed you as her own.
All of that power and control she carried transformed into focus and devotion.
And when Karina decided she wanted something? She was going to pursue it in full force.
She observes your every movement, quietly minding your presence and remembering the smallest details about you.
She was certain about you from the start, making her courting efforts clear on day one.
"I'm going to make you mine," she boldly promises, as she tucks your hair behind your ear and offers a soft smile no one has ever seen before.
Even though she was a cold individual, with you, she was different.
She's the type of lover to offer you her jacket on a cold night without you having to ask and bring you flowers without it having to be a lousy holiday.
She watches your every move, with underlying protectiveness and despises anyone who gets too close for comfort. She doesn't hide her thoughts, clearly communicating with you about how she didn't like seeing a certain person with you.
If she could have it her way, she would completely hide you away from herself.
She prefers loving you obsessively.
"I don't like the way she looks at you," she'll hum absentmindedly, as her hand finds its home on your thigh, as her gaze analyzes your features. "Karina..." you match her tone back, instantly nudging her with your shoulder in a teasing way, and she would just laugh and respond, "I know, I know. just stay close, yeah?"
"Mmm, wear this," she'll softly suggest, as she picks up a necklace she bought for you, a symbolic representation of your relationship. She would clasp it carefully and rest her hands softly on your shoulder as she admired you through the mirror. You looked so pretty, and you looked so hers.
"Hmmmm?" she will mumble, distracted, as she didn't hear you talk to her for the past few seconds, in awe of the beauty in front of her. You softly shook your head, a small smile on your face as you acknowledged, "You're staring again." To your comment, she grins back with a playful roll of her eyes. She responds back easily, "It's hard not to."
Yet even through her obsessive ways, she handles you with gentle ease.
To her, you're fragile, only meant to be handled in the correct hands.
She always makes sure to position herself near you, while also managing to protect you from any harm. Easily hides you from reporters and fans, shielding you with her jacket or pulling you in closer to make sure you won't be able to stray away.
Karina is incredibly patient with you and will wait however many days she has to if it means you will be by her side. And during this time? She would not pressure you one bit, reassuring your thoughts and feelings while never judging you for being so human.
Loves listening to you talk. Your voice is the most beautiful melody to her ears.
Whether you're famous or not, it doesn't matter. She wants to hear everything that runs through your pretty mind.
Prefers spending her life quietly with you, sharing domestic moments. She tends to watch you often in adoration, or she takes many candid photos of you to save for herself later.
Her kisses linger, carefully reassuring you and melting any of your thoughts away. She worships you softly, doting her lips against your skin and making you let out sinful noises only she is allowed to hear.
And when she says, "I love you?", it's a vow that is tying you for eternity to her.
People fear death due to its inevitability.
But she engulfs you with her love, promising you that there's nothing to fear when she has you in her heart.
Because that untouchable woman everyone cowers to is the one who manages to share soft longing looks and tender touches with you.
She will make sure your life is riddled with her devotion, death slowly conquering and taking over her pretty lover, until that's all you know.
GISELLE
Giselle would resemble the four horsemen of war.
Giselle is the most outspoken and strongheaded of the group members, and when it comes to love, it translates into a fiery passion.
The idol was capable of filling a room with her personality and charisma, but with you, she was bold, pushing caution aside.
Once her eyes first set upon you, she doesn't matter where she is or who she was with, she approaches you confidently as if you're a battle she will not be losing.
Fights for your love and fights loudly.
Doesn't believe in being subtle. She will flirt with you and sometimes give you the most outrageous compliments that'll quickly paint your face red as others overhear.
"I fight a losing battle with my restraint every time you walk into a room.” she’ll boast before she ambushes your face with kisses, as your palm meets her face, trying to playfully push her off of you.
"Baby… come here so I can bother you some more…” she’ll tease as she tugs at your hand, pulling you back into her embrace even though you just finally escaped after putting up a good fight, squirming out of her hold, yet she manages to yank you back in with a smirk.
"I'll let you win this time... if you admit that you love me," she'll tease with a smirk, as her hands meet your hips, pulling her down onto her lap. She'll pepper kisses along your jaw and neck, making you flustered until you admit what she wanted to hear.
She loves teasing you and challenging you, as she gets on your nerves. She loves your little reactions, such as a sigh or a quick defensive jab, and how pretty you look when you're pouting for her.
She's quick to make it up to you, with a million kisses and soft words, as her arms find their way to wrap around your waist and pull you in closer.
It does not matter where the two of you are, but she will display affection to you everywhere.
Always pulling you into her lap or leaving a messy kiss on your cheek, she doesn't care. She is going to show the world that you are hers.
She's very playful with the way she shows her love.
She'll steal your food, playfully push and pull at you, take you out on tons of spontaneous dates, and be so sickeningly sweet with her words just to rile you up. Being in love with her means you forfeit your peace.
If the two of you were to argue, she ends up being very vocal yet vulnerable with her feelings. Her love for you rages inside her each time she thinks tension between the two of you might end things.
The only battle she fears is losing you.
So, she'll concede or put her pride aside, knowing her anger is coming from a place deep in her heart that cares a tremendous amount for you. She wears her heart on her sleeve and lets you know that her biggest fear is losing you, so she works things out as loudly as she apologizes, or the two of you work through your emotions.
Secretly just wants to be held and reassured by you every now and then, letting her feel your warm embrace as you mumble how everything will be alright and how much you love her.
Loves when you're stubborn. Normally, she's used to people following her around, but with you? She playfully bugs the stubborn part of you for a while before going along with it with ease.
Big fan of playful fights between the two of you. The other members always joke that the two of you bicker like an old married couple, never having a moment of peace between the two of you.
She always lets you win in these moments, joking about "happy wife, happy life."
And when she kisses you? It's full of passion and need, consuming your every need and fulfilling your desire. Her lips can clear any war in your mind and focus you solely on her. You ignite a fire in her, one that seemingly you can put out. So, once she gets started, she has high stamina, making you cry out for her until your voice is gone and your body is weak.
She manages to handle your heart with care, even with her hands that are stained from the countless battles before her. Once she discovers you, she weakens a little. Her friends tease her for this sudden soft side.
And if loving you was a war?
Giselle would make sure every second counted, and she would be crowned victorious.
WINTER
Winter would resemble the four horsemen of famine.
Winter would be more reserved, quietly keeping to herself and the members she was close with as she took every day one day at a time.
Over time, Winter learned to become content with the cards she was dealt, humble in all aspects, and kept her distance to avoid getting her hopes up from wanting too much.
When Winter sees you for the first time, she doesn't think much of it. She is already close with her inner circle. She was fine with what she had and thought it was best to admire your beauty from afar.
However, her plan goes sideways as you are the one who begins to make the first moves.
You always come check in on her, quietly offering her hot tea on cold days or sitting quietly near her to fill in the void she didn't know she created.
Winter begins to notice all the small things in these moments, realizing you're just as meek as her. Your soft voice when you barely spoke in groups, the way you would linger behind, letting everyone go first even if it meant sacrificing yourself, how you were typically alone when you were out and about, and, overall, the way you seemingly looked at the world through your soft eyes.
And one day? When you didn't sit next to her and her mind instantly began to wander with excuses for why you must be late, that's when she acknowledged she might be down bad for you.
Yet, when you showed up with two cups, her smile grew, instantly moving her bag so you could sit closer to her than normal, a beginning to something new.
You instantly become the first person she looks for in every room. Also always notices your absence, checking in with you as soon as possible.
Winter would learn your routine. She doesn't mean to, but it comes to her naturally. She knows what time you usually arrive, questioning you if you are slightly off. She knows what drink to order for you depending on the weather. She knows your normal commutes, managing to send messages on time, asking you if you were at your destination, all safe and sound.
And if you ever deviate from the routine, she takes note and keeps it in her mind for later. She rarely questions you about it unless it becomes a habit.
Instead of settling, Winter learns how to become more vocal about her wants and needs when it comes to you.
"Can you stay a little longer?" she would murmur, as you have been watching her practice her choreo while you simply get some work done, coexisting in the same room. You would nod without hesitation, making Winter beam and promise to walk you home afterwards, the least she could do.
"Text me when you get home," she will mumble absentmindedly as she watches you leave with your group members, getting ready to separate from her. Before you slip away, she carefully puts her jacket around your shoulders and hums a soft "I'll see you later?"
"I want you to be my girlfriend," she hummed on a soft morning, already passing over your favorite flowers and a more-than-tender smile. She might have been slightly awkward, but she was not going to let this moment slip by.
Winter loves to be able to help you in any aspect. She loves when you need her help or simply need her. Will try to show off in these moments, even though she has no clue what she's doing, but she loves seeing you smile if it means making a fool out of her.
The other members are so happy that Winter met you, noticing how much lighter and happier she carries herself, always carrying her heart on her sleeve.
Accidentally learns how to become selfish in your company.
The girl was humble and never asked for anything before you, but now that you were in the picture? Who was going to blame Winter if she wanted you by her side at every waking moment?
Something that caught Winter off guard one day was a sudden, unusual feeling that ran through her when she saw you hanging out with Karina one day. She had never had a jealous bone in her body until she witnessed the two of you chatting away in front of her.
Doesn't know why it happened, but she would be clingy afterwards, moping around about Karina bothering you and how it was taking away her time from you.
Doesn't consider herself a romantic, except that she is literally the most romantic woman in the world. She thinks her actions are literally the bar in hell.
And when she kissed you? It opposed every action she's ever shown you, her lips clashing feverishly against yours as she pulled you as close as possible. She was never going to get enough of you, the once quiet girl finally taking initiative and showing her claim upon you.
Winter discovered through loving you that life was not about settling, but rather learning to know when to take what she wants.
You just happened to be the first, and last person she'll ever allow herself to be greedy with.
NINGNING
Ningning would resemble the four horsemen of conquest.
Ningning happens to be the member who is driven and ambitious, always pushing herself further and testing the limits of how far the world will let her go. She loves winning, small or big. She manages to take pride in taking on challenges and showing herself perseverance.
When Ningning first sets her eyes on you, she honestly doesn't give you a second thought. Of course, she will admit you were a pretty sight, and your movements and personality flowed naturally, not hesitating to be yourself or holding back on your image for anyone.
But over time?
Ningning became entranced.
She was used to taking down challenges or conquests, yet when it came to you, she wouldn't mind slowing things down and falling in love with you.
But seeing how you were so certain, and carried yourself with utmost confidence and patience, she knew you would be hers, determined to have you added into her lifestyle.
And the more she learned about you? The more she would want to gain your attention and constantly seek your approval, even if she was making a complete fool of herself.
At first, you would play oblivious or hard to get, giving the girl a hard time on her journey to court you. Ningning had never experienced this before, yet she was driven by the anticipation of having you by her side.
She found herself loving the chase, addicted to each little moment you gave her, counting everything as a win, no matter how embarrassing.
Loves when you challenge her each time, pushing Ningning to see how far she would go for you.
And when you first gave her attitude back, immediately questioning her authority, she knew you were the one.
It catches her off guard, but the smile on her face shows how she's really feeling.
Since then, she has sought out your opinions as she values them more than her own, viewing you as her levelheaded savior.
Loving you forces Ningning to learn patience.
Once the two of you are official, she does not shut up about you.
"Have you seen her? You would fold every now and then," she would defend herself, complimenting you after her friends joked about how weak she was becoming.
"Ughhhhh, look at her. She's just so good at anything," she'll compliment loudly to the other members as you simply help one of the managers with work, making the girls side-eye Ningning for how easy she was becoming.
"... I'm not staring..." she will weakly lie as she looks away, flustered, caught by her friends once again. She was enthralled by your beauty. Of course, she was staring, "...maybe I was staring... I mean, how could I not!"
Becomes instantly weak for you, something the other members tease her for.
They would always joke that Ningning was obsessed with you, but she would be quick to respond with how she was committed to you.
Out of all of the members, she is the most traditional when it comes to love. She holds the door open for you, walks you home late at night, keeps extra jackets around to keep you warm, and much more. Acts like it means nothing to her but internally freaks out if she misses an opportunity to be a gentlewoman.
Refuses to ever admit defeat, yet when she's wrong, she'll continue as if she's right, making you smirk at all her efforts to go the extra mile.
Pretends she hates sappy couples and an ounce of too much mushy love, but when it comes to you, she is sickeningly sweet and soft.
Will kiss you anywhere and everywhere, in playful ways, or coordinate her outfit with yours to make sure everyone around the two of you knows that you guys are a couple.
Sometimes has a hard time being vulnerable, her words coming out in a tough way to try to maintain her image. Yet, behind the words, you can always decode the real meanings.
Once she gets her hands on you, she's not letting you go. She loves you as if she could finally stop time, cherishing you with her hands, sweetly roaming along your frame while she kisses you, full of softness and subtle claim. Makes sure you're still with her and always manages to make you all pretty and pliant for her.
Ningning loves you more than any of her previous feats, as being with you has shown her a whole new perspective.
You weren't just another quest to be conquered.
But rather, you were the person who allowed Ningning to realize that she needed you by her side as her equal.
For the first time, she finally found someone to share her life with, not having to worry about the journeys that await her, but rather worrying about how she will spend her life admiring you.
and then, if anyone sees this (like guys u can yap in anon. i don't bite, but like also u don't have to yolo its ur life LMAO).... the first anon i get saying aespa or lsfm will determine the next full length fic i write.
