Ara & Hyunjin Things
- Hyunjin is dramatic about EVERYTHING around Ara. He drops a pen?
“ARA NOONA THE WORLD IS AGAINST ME.”
She just pats his shoulder and says “Pick it up, baby.”
- When Ara calls him “Hyunjinnie,” in her sweet high pitch, he immediately becomes 60% sillier. Instant baby mode activated.
- Stay refer to the two of them as HyunRa or PetalRacha
- They have a running inside joke where they pretend to be in a K-drama every time something minor happens.Spilled water?
Hyunjin: “Noona… why would fate separate us like this?”
Ara: “It’s water, Hyunjin. It separates all.”
- Hyunjin LOVES taking ugly photos of Ara. Ara retaliates by screenshotting his vlogs and his center shots at the worst possible freeze frame.
- Ara once told Hyunjin he had “male bird energy.” He spent 10 minutes cawing at her in protest.
- They cannot be trusted together in art stores. Last time they went in for one sketchbook. They left with 14 paintbrushes, three canvases, two decorative candles, and a ceramic frog.
- Hyunjin flinches dramatically whenever Ara tries to swat dust off him, not that she’d ever lay a malicious finger on any of them. She always laughs. He always blushes.
- Their duets in the dorm are either angelic or unhinged. There is no in-between.
- Hyunjin shows Ara every drawing he finishes — even the messy ones. Ara praises every single one like it’s museum-worthy.
- Ara ties Hyunjin’s hair for him before events. He sits on the floor in front of her like a little kid.
- Ara wipes food crumbs off Hyunjin’s lips without hesitation. He pretends to be embarrassed but secretly loves it.
- Hyunjin makes friendship bracelets for her every birthday. He acts like they’re cheesy, but he puts effort into choosing colors she likes.
- Ara calls him “pretty boy”. He calls her “muse.”
- They dance together for fun when no one’s watching. Hyunjin leads gently, Ara giggles the whole time.
- Hyunjin loves when Ara hums next to him while he draws. He says her voice “feels like warm light.”
- When Hyunjin cries, Ara wipes his cheeks with her thumbs and tells him, “It’s okay to feel things. I’m right here.”
- He always asks, “Noona, did you eat?” He sounds exactly like a worried son. It’s adorable.
- They have late-night talks where Hyunjin lies on the floor and Ara sits beside him, playing with his hair.
- Hyunjin is allowed to do the designs on Ara’s nails sometimes. He’s extremely proud of his work.
- Ara helped Hyunjin through a creative block once by sitting with him quietly for three hours. No pressure. No advice. Just her presence. It helped more than she knows.
- Ara is one of the main people who showed Hyunjin he’s more than just “the pretty one”. She praises his work ethic, growth, and leadership.
- Ara loves Hyunjin’s art so much that she displays it in her and Chan’s bedroom and has one of his sketches on her phone lockscreen (with his permission). He pretended not to care, but his ears turned bright red.
- When Hyunjin feels insecure, Ara reassures him with specific reasons why he’s talented—never generic phrases.
- Ara’s calmness sometimes triggers Hyunjin’s chaos mode.She sighs once? He sprints through the dorm yelling, “EVERYONE STAY CALM SHE’S HAVING A MOMENT.”
- Ara is the ONLY person Hyunjin lets record him dancing spontaneously. She abuses this privilege constantly
- Hyunjin once asked Ara to rate his painting. She said, “This looks like trauma.” He gasped so loud that Felix dropped his phone.
- Hyunjin had a gigantic crush on her during their survival show. Chan teases him about it immensely. Hyunjin knows it’s all good fun so he doesn’t mind.
-When Ara says “Jinnie, please,” in that sweet, soft pouty voice she has, he becomes a malfunctioning NPC. Just freezes and stares with wide eyes.
- Hyunjin once tried to flip his hair and hit Ara in the face. He apologized for 45 minutes.
- Ara ADORES his buzzed hair. She constantly runs her fingers through it.
- Hyunjin brings Ara little keychains whenever he sees something “that looks like her energy.” She keeps them on her bag.
- Ara curls Hyunjin’s hair when he’s bored. He becomes completely silent and still, like a cat being groomed.
- Ara knows his exact “time to feed Hyunjin or he becomes cranky” window. He denies this exists. It absolutely does exist.
- Hyunjin does little dances when Ara compliments him. No one sees them except her.
- Hyunjin will press kisses to her neck subconsciously. Not in a sexual or flirty way but in a way to calm him down. She doesn’t move, just smiles and rubs her nails over his scalp, scratching gently.
- Hyunjin listens very intently when Ara tells stories, eyes soft, chin in hand, like she’s the center of his universe.
