Disclaimer: All of these are just based on my sometimes-biased opinions and whatever I wrote below does not, in any way, completely and correctly describes Mingyu.
Mingyu // Kim Mingyu
Pros
Mingyu will always think about you. Always. This is a pro for you but is somewhat more of a con for his members because he just won’t shut up about you and him. “Hey this was the place we ate ice cream at for our fourth date”, “Can you believe I have the best partner ever like I feel so bad for you all but”, “Hyung look do you think I should buy this for our anniversary?” and the iconic “Man I’m just so in love with–” OKAY SHUSH THAT’S LIKE THE MILLIONTH TIME WE GET IT
He will always make sure you feel content and loved. He’ll always remind you that you’re the reason why he smiles everyday and why he’s motivated to keep on working hard. He doesn’t like it when you feel uncomfortable with the relationship so he’ll do his absolute best to make your relationship work in the best way possible.
He’s also the type to stand on your front door, trying to score a kiss after each date. It’s not that he’ll force you, but he literally won’t leave until you give him one (I don’t think anyone will be able to resist puppy Mingyu okay it’s just impossible). He’ll drop you obvious hints like raising his eyebrows with a smug smile, pointing to his cheek or whatever in hopes of getting a kiss from you. If he’s feeling frisky, he might attempt to make it a kiss on the lips by turning his head when you’re just about to kiss him on his cheek.
He strikes me as the kind of guy to send you positive messages at random times of the day, and he’ll always send you good morning and good night texts with lots of emoticons. He would also be the kind of guy who’d randomly call you in the middle of the night because “I missed hearing your voice” even though you were just done talking to him on the phone three hours ago.
A picture of you that he took while you weren’t looking as his cellphone’s background picture? Yes. Pictures of him that he took while your phone was with him? Definitely. A selfie of you and him in his wallet? Absolutely.
Cliche I know but he will love to cook for you and/or teach you how to cook if you don’t know how. He’ll tease you if he’s better than you but if not then he’ll try to make it as a competition at times. You’ll probably just end up with a huge mess though because he’ll try to sabotage yours as much as he can.
Mingyu loves surprising you a lot, whether it be during a special occasion or just a random day while you two are together. He knows how he spends less time with you than normal partners do because of his work, so he makes up for it with surprises. It can range from a simple picnic somewhere outside the city to a romantic, candle-lit dinner on a beach.
Lastly, he’s also very skinship-y. Aegyo-ish. Normally it would be the partner who behaves in a feminine way who’ll be doing most of the aegyo but trust me, Mingyu will do it way more than ordinary girls to. He’d definitely flash you a sparkling, puppy eyes look when he asks for your permission to drink with his friends and all that, with a tight hug if you agree and a pout if you don’t
Cons
He gives a lot in your relationship, but he’ll expect you to return the same amount of love or something. Not necessarily the show of affection or aegyo, he’s fine with you brushing it off, but the act of giving towards each other. An example is when he skips a day of practice just to take care of you when you’re sick, so when it’s him who’s sick, he’ll expect you to stay at least a day with him and take care of him too. If you don’t reciprocate this much, then he’ll think he’s giving too much and might get tired with your relationship as he doesn’t really get much from it (not that he expects to get some but a relationship should be a give and take not worshiped and woshiper kind of thing).
If you’re the type of person to not like surprises, then I guess you might get frustrated with Mingyu. He enjoys surprising his significant other in random times within the relationship because he enjoys his partner’s shocked expressions, but if you express that you don’t like surprises, it might make the relationship feel slightly dull. It’s not that big and this won’t strain your relationship much, but if you completely brush his advances off, that’s when it’ll start turning really dull. It would be good to accept it now and then, like a birthday celebration or something.
It’s not that he’d get sad if you don’t return or just reject the skinship, but it’s more of you tolerating it if you don’t like it. He teases a lot, too, and it might infuriate you at times.
Someone who religiously sticks to a certain schedule per day might not be a good match for Mingyu, unless you’re adventurous deep inside. He might also be too fast paced (no pun intended) for you to keep up at times if your lifestyle is more of a walk than a run kind of thing. You’ll have to tolerate his childish tendencies at times too.
He can get pretty stubborn when you both fight, and it’ll always be a case of either his hyungs convincing him to apologize or you initiating it. No in between, so if you can’t take that, then your relationship might not last for very long.
