DATING ENHYPEN HEADCANON

a ⥃ z ➳ Nishimura Riki [Ni-ki] ( sfw )

a ➳ affection

Ni-ki is surprisingly affectionate once he feels completely comfortable with you, though he often shows it in playful, teasing ways rather than overly soft ones. In private, he loves to wrap his long arms around you from behind, resting his chin on your shoulder while mumbling something silly just to hear you laugh.

Public displays make him a little shy, so he keeps it minimal. Maybe a quick hand squeeze or linking pinkies when no one is looking. But the moment you’re alone, he turns into a giant puppy, pulling you close and refusing to let go until he’s had his fill of your warmth.

He especially loves playful bites on your shoulder, ruffling your hair, surprise back hugs that lift you slightly off the ground, and stealing kisses when you least expect it.

b ➳ before dating

You two started as friends who constantly teased each other. Ni-ki loved challenging you to games, dance battles, or random silly competitions, always finding excuses to spend time together. He would drag you to practice rooms just to show off new choreography or make you watch him play games while he dramatically complained whenever he lost.

Over time, the teasing became softer. He found himself smiling at his phone whenever your name popped up, and the members started noticing how much more energetic and happy he seemed whenever you were around. Jake and Sunghoon would tease him endlessly about it, telling him to just confess already before he exploded from keeping it inside.

c ➳ confessing

Ni-ki was nervous about confessing. He didn’t want to ruin the fun friendship you had, and the thought of making things awkward terrified him. He waited for what felt like forever, dropping hints here and there that you sometimes caught and sometimes completely missed.

Eventually, after a late-night practice session where he couldn’t stop thinking about you, he gathered his courage. He invited you to the dorm when the others were out and, while you were both sitting on the floor eating snacks, he suddenly went quiet. With flushed cheeks and avoiding your eyes, he mumbled, “I… I like you. Like, more than a friend. A lot more.” When you told him you felt the same, his shy smile turned into the brightest grin you had ever seen.

d ➳ dates

Ni-ki prefers low-key, fun dates where he can be himself without worrying about cameras or fans. Arcade dates, late-night convenience store runs, or staying in to play video games and watch anime are his favorites. He loves competing with you. Whether it’s rhythm games, claw machines, or silly challenges. He gets dramatically pouty when he loses.

He also enjoys taking you to quiet spots at night where he can practice dance moves with you or just talk for hours under the stars. Occasionally he’ll surprise you with something sweeter, like a homemade playlist of songs that remind him of you or a private picnic on the dorm rooftop.

e ➳ experience

You are Ni-ki’s first real relationship. Before you, he was focused on dancing, training, and growing as an artist, so romance wasn’t really on his mind. Because of that, he sometimes gets shy or overthinks things, worrying he might not be doing boyfriend things “right.”

Still, he learns quickly and puts genuine effort into understanding what makes you happy. He may act cool and mature on stage, but with you he’s still discovering how to balance his busy idol life with being the best boyfriend he can be.

f ➳ fighting

Arguments with Ni-ki are rare, but when they happen, they usually stem from misunderstandings or him being too stubborn. He doesn’t like raising his voice. Instead, he might go quiet and sulk for a bit.

He hates seeing you upset, so he’s usually the first to apologize. Even if it’s through a shy text or by awkwardly offering your favorite snack as a peace offering. Once the tension breaks, he pulls you into a tight hug and promises to communicate better next time. At the end of the day, he just wants to make up and go back to making you laugh.

g ➳ gifts

Ni-ki loves giving gifts that feel personal rather than extravagant. He’ll notice small things you mention in passing and surprise you with them later. A piece of merch from your favorite game, a snack you said you missed from your childhood, or something he made himself like a short dance cover dedicated to you.

He also enjoys buying matching items: phone charms, hoodies, or silly accessories you can wear together. Seeing you use or wear something he got you makes him incredibly happy and proud.

h ➳ hugs

Ni-ki gives some of the best hugs. His tall frame makes them feel enveloping and safe. He especially loves long, clingy hugs after long schedules or when he’s missed you. Back hugs are a favorite. He’ll sneak up behind you while you’re doing something and wrap his arms around your waist, swaying gently.

He’s also the type to pick you up in a hug when he’s excited, spinning you around with that bright laugh of his. Expect random hug attacks throughout the day whenever he feels like it.

i ➳ “i love you”

Ni-ki doesn’t say “I love you” very often at first. He’s still getting used to expressing such big feelings out loud. When he does say it, it usually slips out softly during a quiet moment, like when you’re cuddling or after he’s had a tough day and you’ve been there for him.

He says it with slightly pink ears and a shy glance away, but you can feel how much he means it. Over time, he gets more comfortable, whispering it against your hair or mumbling it before falling asleep.

j ➳ jealousy

Ni-ki can get a little jealous, especially when other members (particularly the hyungs) get too much of your attention. He tries to play it cool, but you’ll notice him being extra clingy or playfully stealing you away with comments like “Hey, that’s my person.”

He doesn’t get overly possessive, but he does like knowing he’s your favorite. A little reassurance and some extra cuddles usually melt any jealousy away quickly.

k ➳ kindness

Ni-ki’s kindness shows in the little things that others might overlook. He remembers every small detail you mention in passing, like your favorite late-night snack or the song that always cheers you up. On days when you are feeling down, he offers quiet support without making a big fuss. He will sit beside you, share funny stories from practice to distract you, or simply stay close so you know he is there. Even when he is exhausted from his own schedule, he still finds the energy to do something small that brings a smile to your face. His gentle and caring side truly shines brightest when it is just the two of you, away from the eyes of the world.

l ➳ late-night talks

Some of your favorite moments are the late-night conversations when the world feels quiet and the rest of the dorm has finally gone to sleep. Ni-ki opens up about his dreams for the future, the pressures he sometimes feels as the maknae, funny behind-the-scenes stories from practice, or the random thoughts that pop into his head at three in the morning. He speaks softly, his voice relaxed and honest in a way he rarely shows to anyone else. At the same time, he loves listening to you just as much. His eyes sparkle with genuine interest as you talk about your day, your worries, or the things you are passionate about. These long conversations make you both feel closer and help him unwind after even the most tiring days.

m ➳ missing you

When schedules keep him away for long periods, Ni-ki misses you more than he usually admits out loud. He sends random selfies with silly expressions, voice messages where he uses exaggerated voices to make you laugh, or short videos of him practicing new choreography just so you can feel a little closer. He will text “I miss you” at unexpected times, sometimes in the middle of the night when he cannot sleep. During tours or promotions, he often looks at the photos saved on his phone and counts down the days until he can finally see you again. The moment he returns, he makes up for the time apart with extra hugs and clinginess that last for hours.

n ➳ nicknames

Ni-ki has a whole range of playful nicknames for you that change depending on his mood. He calls you “baby” when he feels soft, “dummy” in the most affectionate tone possible, “my person” when he wants to remind you that you belong together, or whatever silly inside joke name the two of you have created. He enjoys teasing you with them, but he also secretly loves it when you come up with cute nicknames for him in return. He will pretend to complain and roll his eyes, yet you can always see the small, pleased smile he tries to hide. Hearing you say his name in a sweet way never fails to make his heart feel warm.

o ➳ obvious

It was pretty obvious to everyone around you that Ni-ki liked you long before he actually confessed. The way his eyes would light up the second you walked into the room, how he always saved the best snacks or the most comfortable seat for you, and how he suddenly became extra energetic and smiley whenever you stayed to watch him dance. The members noticed everything and teased him about it constantly. Jake especially loved pointing it out just to watch Ni-ki get flustered and deny it while his ears turned pink. Even staff members started smiling knowingly whenever the two of you were together.

p ➳ patience

Ni-ki is surprisingly patient with you, especially considering how busy and demanding his life as an idol can be. He understands that balancing a relationship with his tight schedules is not always easy for either of you. When promotions run late or tours take him far away, he tries his best to stay understanding instead of frustrated. He gives you space when you need it and waits calmly when things get hectic. He is willing to work through any challenges together, no matter how long it takes, because he truly believes the two of you are worth the effort. His patience comes from a place of genuine care and wanting the relationship to grow naturally.

q ➳ quiet moments

He cherishes the quiet moments where no words are needed at all. Just sitting together on the couch with your head resting on his shoulder while he scrolls through his phone, or lying side by side watching the rain fall outside the window. These peaceful times feel like a gentle reset for him after days filled with noise, cameras, and constant movement. In those calm moments, he feels truly relaxed and content simply because you are there with him. He does not need grand gestures or constant conversation. Your quiet presence beside him is more than enough to make him feel happy and at peace.

r ➳ romance

Ni-ki’s version of romance is sweet, youthful, and uniquely his own. It shows in the way he tries to impress you by learning new dance moves just to show them off, the handmade gifts he spends time creating, the late-night drives when his schedule allows, and the way he looks at you like you are the most interesting and special person in the entire world. He may not always do traditional romantic things, but everything he does comes from the heart and feels sincere. His efforts, no matter how small, always carry a gentle warmth that makes you feel deeply cared for.

s ➳ support

He is your biggest supporter in every possible way. Whether you are chasing an important goal, struggling through a tough day, or celebrating even the smallest achievement, Ni-ki is right there cheering you on. Sometimes he is loud and dramatic about it, hyping you up with exaggerated excitement and silly dances. Other times he offers quiet, sincere words of encouragement that touch your heart. He genuinely wants to see you shine and succeed, just as brightly as he does on stage. Knowing that he believes in you so strongly gives you confidence on even your hardest days.

t ➳ trust

Trust is very important to Ni-ki, and once he fully opens up to you, he trusts you deeply with everything. He shares his private thoughts, his hidden insecurities, and the feelings he usually keeps to himself. He feels completely safe being vulnerable around you because he knows you will never judge him or use his words against him. This level of trust makes your bond stronger and allows him to be his true self without any masks or defenses. He values this trust more than he can easily express.

u ➳ understanding

Ni-ki tries hard to understand your feelings and perspective, even when he does not immediately relate to what you are going through. He listens carefully without interrupting and does his best to see things from your point of view. If he makes a mistake, he reflects on it and works to do better next time. His understanding nature helps the two of you navigate difficult moments smoothly and keeps misunderstandings from growing into bigger problems. He genuinely wants to be someone you can always turn to and feel heard by.

v ➳ vacations

If he could take you on a proper vacation, he would choose somewhere fun and relaxing where you could both escape for a while. Maybe a quiet beach where he can dance freely on the sand at night with only the sound of waves around you, or a lively theme park where you can ride every attraction together and take as many silly photos as you want. He dreams of days filled with laughter, good food, and no schedules interrupting your time together. Just the two of you making memories away from the usual hustle.

w ➳ why you

He loves you because you make him feel truly seen beyond being “Ni-ki of ENHYPEN.” You accept every part of him. His playful and teasing side, his quiet and thoughtful moments, his dedication to hard work, and even his occasional insecurities. With you, he does not have to pretend or perform. He can simply be himself without any pressure. That freedom and acceptance mean everything to him, and it is the main reason his feelings for you run so deep.

x ➳ xtra (little things)

He always saves the last bite of his favorite food for you even when he is really hungry.

He randomly sends you dance videos at odd hours and waits anxiously for your honest opinion.

He loves when you wear his hoodies because they completely swallow you up and make you look adorable.

He gets shy whenever you compliment his dancing but secretly replays your kind words in his head for days afterward.

y ➳ yearning

When he is away on tour or long promotions, the yearning hits him harder than he expects. He finds himself looking at photos of you saved on his phone more often than he admits. He counts down the days until he can hold you again and imagines all the things he wants to do once he is back. The distance makes him realize just how much he needs your presence in his life, and every reunion feels even sweeter because of it.

z ➳ zzz (sleep)

Ni-ki loves sleeping next to you more than anything. He is the type to pull you close as soon as the lights go out, tangle his long legs with yours, and fall asleep with a small, content smile on his face. Sometimes he talks softly in his sleep or mumbles your name without realizing it. In the morning, he always wakes up a little embarrassed if you mention it, but he never stops wanting you right there beside him. Waking up to see your face first thing in the morning has quickly become one of his favorite parts of the day.
