I feel like in general he’s very good at communicating his need for attention with words
however sometimes even he will feel a bit desperate when you’re so busy that you can’t make enough time for him for a few days
he’ll be understanding about it, but as soon as you’re both home at night he will try to steal some of your attention for himself
gets really silent and physically affectionate, showering you in clingy hugs and pecks to your cheek and neck
won’t force you to give him attention if you try to get away, but he will be so thankful to you if you take a few minutes out of your busy schedule to just hold each other and maybe talk about how your day was
Mark:
if he really craves your attention he will try to distract you from whatever you’re doing atm
you know that one vlive where he squishes his cheek against jaebeom’s and yells “pizza pizza”? yeah that’s gonna be him with you, just maybe a little less crazy
is more touchy than usual, like he’ll constantly have his arm around you or his hand on your thigh or bump his shoulder into yours
if you still don’t react to him after that, he’ll kiss your cheek or your hand or wherever he can reach, probably drawing a smile from your lips
“I miss you, baby. Let’s do something together,” he’ll ask when he finally reaches you
do him that favour and in return you will also have his undivided attention
Jackson:
I think he’d get very deprived of attention very quickly
is defo the type to try to tell you he wants to spend more time with you without directly saying it at first and instead getting a bit clingy or trying to convince you to go out on a date again if you haven’t had one in a while
if everything goes well you’ll end up doing that and have a great time, fulfilling his wish for your attention
but if not, he will get increasingly frustrated and probably want to have a serious talk with you to tell you he really wants to see you more
however, so long as you’re on the same page it won’t come down to that and instead he will signal you with hugs and kisses that he wants to spend more quality time alone with you
Jinyoung:
i feel like he’ll ask for your attention more often than you’d expect him to, though he rarely does so verbally
usually it’ll just be enough for him to be by your side and just peacefully coexist, maybe relaxing and watching a movie together or even just practicing his lines for an upcoming drama while you rest your head in his lap
but sometimes he will want your direct attention, and then he goes full puppy mode
rests his chin on your shoulder and looks up at you with big eyes and a pout on his lips
seriously can you even think about saying no to that...?
Youngjae:
clingy
if he suddenly does every little thing for you that’s a sign he really needs some more of your attention, whether it’s just wanting to sit down and talk to you or if he has more physical needs
he’ll never force you into anything, but if he’s really frustrated he can probably become a bit pushy
don’t try to ignore him or put him off for too long, or one day his frustrations will become too much for him and he’ll just grab you and pull you somewhere he can be alone with you
will be very desperate and tell you he’s not getting enough attention from you
you defo owe him a full day of just lazing around together at home now, but please don’t do this to him again;;
Bambam:
very cute about it at first, but gets petty if you tell him off
like he will try to get your attention by joking around or lightly touching your arm or just being his weird self
best case scenario you give him what he wants
but if he manages to annoy you or you don’t really give a reaction for some other reason, he will give up after a few tries and walk away
don’t expect him to give you any attention once you ask for it next time
acts like he’s pissed at you and tries to ignore you
but you know as soon as you come closer and hug him or kiss him, he will drop the act and just be glad you’re there for him now
Yugyeom:
will keep annoying you until you answer or at least tell him you don’t have time right now
like he will just call out to you over and over again until he finally gets some kind of response
but sometimes, when he’s feeling very needy for attention he will just stand or sit down next to you and hug you
clings to you until you put aside whatever you’re focusing on and direct all your attention to him
is super happy once you finally do, and will do everything in his might to show you
