headcanons of Kyu's relationship with Nara
friendship state (2006 — 2009)
best friends since he joined Super Junior
when he arrived in the training room, she just watched the judgmental looks at him
the next day, he sat next to her
it was less intimidating, since she was alone
“There's no bed for me in the dorm”
“I have a bed, but no lines. Wanna switch?”
they shook hands and laughed
he called her noona, since she was a senior in the group
but she called him oppa because he was older
they actually didn't need to do this because they were born in the same year
but it was cute
they became friends very quickly because they were excluded
neither of them really felt part of Super Junior
but as they gained confidence, they began to pick on the other members
each other’s bad influence
maknae on top and evil maknae duo
made fun of each other all the time
they started to get well with the other members
then he had an accident and Nara was devastated
she tried to go to the hospital whenever she wasn't recording
the other members took her under their wings while Kyu was recovering
but when he came back, she could finally be well again
became extremely protective of him
she didn't stop picking on him, of course, they were still maknae on top and evil maknae duo
but she became more protective than before
raised her voice when she noticed Kyu's discomfort and asked the director for a break
wiped his tears when he thought he wouldn't be able to perform like he used to
and she was naturally clingy
(as could be seen with Siwon)
Kyu let her be clingy with him
or rather, sought her touch
stroked her hair to mess it up
pushed her forehead
received playful slaps
let her lie on his shoulder when she was tired
and wrap her arm around him
she had a free pass for everything
she leaned on him
when she couldn't sleep because of the Kid's Club recording schedule, he forbade them of throwing water on her
and when he arrived at training, it was her face he was looking for
then, suddenly, he was dreaming about her
hated it when she kissed Heechul
made up games and trapped her in conversations so it wouldn't happen
Heechul went out a lot, had lots of girlfriends... he didn't deserve her
did Kyuhyun deserve her?
this question popped into his mind and it took him a while to understand why he was thinking it
fans did “siblings bickering” compilations
we know it's not that
but neither the fans nor the members expected anything more than that
she wanted to be close to Kyuhyun all the time
she really liked him
and she missed him when he was in China so much
it was the only thing she could think of
she wanted to ask him out, but she knew Kyu
he used to be a bit traditional when it came to relationships
so she waited for him to ask her out
and he did
1st dating (2009 — 2013)
he asked her out on a formal date, as he would with a girl outside the group
even though they spend almost every hour of the week together, he wanted to woo her properly
dates, gifts, letters and only then start dating her
followed his rhythm
the boys didn't realize it at first
maybe Hangeng
but the SNSD girls instantly noticed how her tone changed when she talked about Kyuhyun
and when he went to their dorm to pick up Nara, they knew he wasn't there as a friend
he was always 15 minutes early and kept rehearsing what he would say when he met her
cute
as a first date they went to see a musical and then walked around the Gwanghwamun Square
a fan recognized them, but Nara always appeared to be hanging out with the boys, nothing different
and they went out all the time
he bought her presents, wrote handwritten letters declaring his love and brought her flowers
he liked it when she showed up at practice wearing a bracelet he'd given her
the two of them smiled and nobody knew anything
they were in their own little world
after a while the boys realized
there were some discussions in the group, but they eventually accepted
members were afraid that if they broke up, they'd have to disband
however, as much as she wanted to go in Kyuhyun's time, she was THIRSTY to kiss him
so she bought a pepero and told them to eat it together
and finally got their long-awaited first kiss!!!
“I thought you were taking too long to kiss me”
“You tricked me!”
and once they started, they couldn't stop
they were in love, a very intense and youthful kind of passion
Kyu showed up with a hickey and all the members made fun of them
or when they went through her bag and found condoms
her soul left her body and came back
they experimented a lot before they had their first time
looked like teens at puberty
but Kyu wanted her first time to be special
she just wanted to have sex soon
the horniness of 10 Anittas
they continued to tease each other, as they did before they became a couple
and maintained a friendship that never made fans doubt anything
(of course there were shippers, but common sense pointed to this being an unlikely couple)
she always put him last or second-to-last on the beauty scale
he always pretended to be too good for her
sometimes they even ignored each other when they were on stage
but when they got back to the van, they'd hug all the way to the dormitory
and because of them the members had to go through a sex education class
they wanted to kill Nara and Kyu
it was at this time that they developed a kind of telepathy while playing games
and discovered the drinking limits for each of them together
had many first times together
they were always traveling
and could be a couple when no one knew who they were
those were good times that ended in 2013
conflicting schedules, difficulty in continuing to date without being public (because of the sasaengs), jealousy of work partners
it just cooled down
they couldn't go on like this, they'd end up hating each other
they couldn't hurt Super Junior too
what would they say if the only female member was dating one of the members?
the hate would be heavy
if she was seeing one, how many wasn't she seeing?
they ended “well”
weird vibes (2013 — 2016)
they may have broken up “well”, but every break up is a break up
they didn't know what to do
or what to feel
the whole friendship got weird
they no longer knew how much they could make fun of each other or what was considered “appropriate physical contact” for ex-couples
they drifted apart
he really wanted to talk to her after she released her 2nd mini album - they both knew the songs were about them
she always ignored him
couldn't talk to him about it
and pushed him away, as if they were just coworkers
when he made his solo debut with “at gwanghwamun”, she went to Heechul's house to cry
sent him a message, but never congratulated him face to face - didn't have the courage
2014 and 2015 were chaotic years, with a lot of hate on them
they got very unhappy about everything
Kyu said in a interview he cried to sleep bc of radio star
and she was receiving daily hate because of being a “slut”
they still had a lot of affection for each other
you could see it in their eyes
"Don't leave me out. I know you. I know the look on your face when you're worried, the drumming of your fingers when you're anxious. If there's something going on, let me help you”
…
but when they recorded Devil oh
it was the first time she'd had to flirt with him in a MV since Spy (2012)
they relapsed
a few times
but didn't get back together
as much as he wanted to, Nara said “it isn’t the right time”
and then she went on hiatus, without any warning
completely restricted his communication with her
Nara don’t know why she did that
maybe she wanted them to suffer less, to move on
or maybe she was the one who needed to do this things
she don't know
Kyu released some songs about their relationship at that time - think Waiting Still album
post hiatus/military (2019 — 2024)
the two return to the group
Kyuhyun after the discharge
Nara to record Time Slip album
“It's good to have you back, but don't think I'll take it easy”
“I didn't expect you to”
evil maknae feelings
they debuted 14 years ago and still felt young
making jokes and picking on each other
the group seemed to be back to its old self
and so were they
maknae on top and evil maknae duo was back!!!
at the same time that they seemed very childish, now that they were all together remembering past events, they were more mature
things that were problems before, now seemed like insignificant
the army (and her hiatus) made everyone see the team in a different light
in knowing bros they joked that she was so much a part of the team that she had to take a hiatus to match the boys' army
and she joked that they missed her so much that they went to the other side of the earth to find someone to record lo siento
she missed them too
and her relationship with Kyu went back to the way it was before
as if they had dated other people and met up again as friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time
they could stay up until the early hours of the morning drinking and laughing
tried new drinks and combinations
talked about philosophy, art and history
watch movies and go to musicals
then sleep on the sofa in one of their living rooms
sometimes would babysit the twins together
and she would ask him to cook
he would say "let's do it together" and then she would burn fucking lamen
had their own lives but knew they would always support each other
as it was before
and it worked for a long time
they seemed to be best friends again
maybe not in the same way she was with Beehive, or the way he was with Kyuline
but he started interacting more with her on the shows
would throw water on her when she was sleeping
(she would do the same to him)
"it's refreshing"
sometimes they would even prank each other
she doesn't really like gpoing public in lives after the hiatus, right?
but, for him, she would appear in KyuTV every time he asked
the fans went crazy in the chat
brought her flowers after Sabbatical Serenate’s premiere
and you never saw him applaud as loudly as when she won the awards for the series
he remembered being her date when she was nominated for Shattered Reflections
the looks they exchanged at every training session
they were looking for each other each time they arrived at any place
and, like before, he fell in love with her
it wasn't the same passion as before
it was something new, they were new people
new versions of themselves
Kyu would fall in love with Nara in every version they met
it was more mature
i can literally see them with the “dumb conversations, we lose track of time, have i told you lately i’m grateful you're mine” song
they could truly be themselves (as they couldn’t for a long time)
November 2024 he released his first full album “Colors”
when she called to congratulate him, they talked for hours
“we're not getting any younger... and I want to have time to grow old with you”
“think about it”
and she did
they got back together in december 2024
