If you could take a LOONA member on a date, where would you bring them and why? I'll personally take Heejin to a street market somewhere in Asia, maybe Taiwan. So many potential moments to get close to each other and I'm sure she'll love the food selection there.
hi bunn, thank you for the ask. I haven't answered stuff like this in awhile and it's been fun! ily, when it's LOONA I'll answer anything.
HEEJIN
bunn onto something as per usual, market dates are cute (not that i'd know. The vibes are kinda ruined here with 50 year old shirtless men) so I think that's a banger idea. Me personally, I am more a fan of them carnival dates, the overprized bullshit is a personal favourite of mine. And the amount of games are very in line for her character. Heejin also just seems like the type of person to gawk and she'd eat enough cotton candy to incapacitate herself. She'd hug into your side at the not scary rides as an excuse to vibe check you.
Also, accruing a shit ton of debt. Like a comical amount, insane amounts. Why? Because Heejin spots them giant ass plushies, and her competitive spirit wants them, refuses to let them go because that'd be cowardly. You pay for half her ring shots. The war of attrition always wins, Heejin eventually gets the rings on the ducks. Then you carry it the entire time.
Oh and the ferris wheel, if Heejin's feeling you (which she probably is, she's quite a good judge of character. The fact you are on this date in the first place means she's probably got you figured out) she'll wait till you get to the apex,then kiss you.
After the carnival shuts down, Heejin would take you to the closest fast food place, no matter how grimy or run down it is. Food is food. You two get whatever's cheapest now that you just blew a hole in your wallets. Eat it while yapping about the whole affair.
Bonus section: What happens after the actual date ends?
Heejin's the type of girl to decide at a dime whether she wants to end the first date in the arms of another. Real 50/50, for this case she invites herself over. It's competitively friendly, the final hurdle. You two would jokingly fight (very haphazardly, you are fucking her after all.)
She'd stay the night 100% afterwards, keeping her one arm locked around your collar while hogging too much of your blanket.
HYUNJIN
Hyunjin would be the one who organises the first date, she's definitely someone who wants to make sure her weirdness would not be disrespected or looked down upon. Sooooo cat café, it's a discrete way to see if you'd look at her weirdly for the random meows. The admittedly strange behaviour, if your cool she stays if you aren't she leaves and blocks your number. It's pretty simple.
She'd definitely be leading the conversation, it's in her nature. She wants to reserve the stuff about her so she leaves the topic on you. Listens attentively, shys away from your questions but if you don't push it too far she'll eventually answer a few. All while stroking the cats.
After she's mentally catalogued enough data on you, she'll pick another place. Entirely dependant on where she thinks would fit the best. That's Hyunjin in a nutshell, she's observant and attentive in a way that might be a bit offputting to some.
Bonus section: What happens after the actual date ends?
Hyunjin would walk you home, but that's about it. She'd bid you adieu, walk herself home and smile the entire time now nobody's watching.
HASEUL
Haseul a lover, someone who prefers the original wholesome dates. Something generic yet not really, a restaurant of sorts. In that middle-space between fancy and casual. There's some bonding opportunities, a lot of time to chat and speak over food. She likes to get to the point, wants to know about the person in the most straightforward way possible so if it's incompatible its over soon.
not much more to say on her in general, you eat food, you talk, you decide if you want a second date. Nowwwwww the second date on the other hand. She's big into music (duh) and can play the piano and stuff, so I'm thinking a music festival. Some real niche undercut stuff, fifty monthly listeners. It shows you a different, more wholesome Haseul. The one that's less intimidating (and more cute than hot)
And Haseul's a slow burner so, maybe you'll get a kiss on like the 5th date.
YEOJIN
Trampoline park.
She's definitely the kinda woman to enjoy going boing boing on all the trampolines and be very eccentric and happy while doing it. So the plan would be to take her to the craziest trampoline park in the area for a few hours, maybe have a few conversations when you're panting and struggling but for the most part boing boing boing.
And she'd have the actual best time of her life, giggling, laughing, clinging onto you when doing some stupid shit. She's far too impatient to be doing the slow stuff in life, so this is in my humblest opinion the absolute best location to take her. And also because you could definitely launch her into the wall trampolines and that is very cute.
Yeojin would definitely let the date extend past just that. Trampoline park in the afternoon, get dinner and then come back to yours for a movie.
And then she sees where it goes from there, if she's having a lot of fun she needs some excuse to stay over.
VIVI
Coffee shop :)
definitely not inspired by bunn's fic or anything. NOooooooo that would be crazy, I just think she's that sorta woman. So I'd take her there, soft and caring matches coffee n sweet desserts. Like Haseul she likes to talk and exist, let the smell of roast beans guide the atmosphere while she stirs her drink absently.
But obviously, with this absolute divine woman you can't just stop at one little coffee shop for a date. Sure you could. Though that's lame, so the second part of the date would be nature walking. You won't spot a few deer (because you already have one next to you) but you could spot a few ladybugs n stuff, and hear me out. It's so cold that you have to give Vivi your jacket.
Nature is very pretty, so you'd think a bench to observe. It gets even colder so she hugs into you to keep warm since no matter what you are too far from your cars. Just gotta sit n snuggle fr, Vivi is soft and definitely one of the best for this.
When all is said and done, you'll walk her back to her car then you'll go home, good stuff.
KIM LIP
The organised, slightly cold and very particular woman? Maybe I'm just an ass. But a game of monopoly, no bullshit just a vibe. She starts off calm and collective, taking the leads. Buying all the buildings while you two just exist in each others company.
Buttttttt when you start whining, she gets mad. And that's when its funny. Her guarded exterior getting broken by having to pay rent because you stole all of the oranges. (Or you beat her in a pokemon duel if you are playing that version) The firery spirit forced out. She'd get a bit physical, not like punching but 'playful' slaps that hurt more than they should.
Get some ice cream after that and good game, bonus points if u rub it the victory in before she leaves. I think it'd give you better chances with her than doing some boring shit…
JINSOUL
Aquarium :)
Yes it's thematically appropriate, yes its cute. Jinsoul would love it, crack the dumbest jokes. Probably dry ones that only make you laugh because she says it weirdly. Jinsoul finds it thoughtful, (I imagine you'd meet her on a dating app and you see all the blue in her pictures) and that's sweet.
Unfortunately… like Heejin, there's plushies. Fishies, sea urchins, and she wants it all.. So have fun carrying all that shit I guess. She'd probably throw them at children.
okay thats a joke.
Though both of you will have scollosis after carrying all that stuff.
While Jinsoul doesn't laugh at any of your jokes, she does laugh at you falling on your ass. Which you definitely do. Because clumsy.
Second date would be at the same aquarium to get whatever you couldn't buy, Jinsoul got a second job after this.
CHOERRY
Most of these are from the context of a first date, but that is not technically the question soooooooo
fourth date onwards, Choerry's really become attached to you. She's established that she couldn't care less about the outside dates. The ones that require appearances and money and effort, she's comfortable enough to just exist in your living room.
Movie nights is a very Choerry activity, she's very cuddly. Put it lightly, she's got her hands draped over your collar. Mainly listening to the movie than watching it, with occasional turn overs. She just likes to breathe you in and talk, girl fell head over heel and isn't ashamed to admit it.
The movie decides the mood, if you are watching horror she's even more clingy, romance and she's blushing. A lewd scene comes on–Choerry starts kissing you, etc. Though if she kisses you once expect a night of pleasure because she gets carried away very very easily.
YVES
Stoicism ass date, you may notice a theme between competition and LOONA members but I think Yves is the ultimate final boss of this. SO I'd take her to an escape room, hear me out. Yves would be so down to do an escape room because she wants to solve omre puzzles than you, wants to try to figure it out.
What escape room though? Imagine, you two are handcuffed together. And you are escaping a murderer, and you have to solve puzzles. Yves would be the type to yank on it and boss you around, but you'd clear it in record time. If you don't bitch and be annoying she'll invite you to another one.
Maybe a ski lodge, where theres an avalanche that's snowed you in and all that. I don't know, I just think escape rooms are very cool. She wouldn't falter for anything so unfortunately all the making out has to wait until you guys are in the car/public transportation back…
oh and bowling.
CHUU
bubbly girl so a bubbly date! So, making hot chocolate from scratch. This is like a 3rd date sorta idea sure, buy all the chocolate, the cream, the marshmallows and whatever extras you decide on. Melt all that stuff in a pot of milk, burn it because you two were too distracted by your phones. Have to remake it.
The hot chocolate would be goodddd though, like really good. Bond over stuff you've already said before while scrolling Instagram Reels & Google Giggles.
Oh oh oh oh oh ohoh and you could build legos after! Perhaps a penguin or two.
I love her… some sightseeing after after.
AND MAYBE A BEACH DATE! THIS IS UNRELATED BUT SWIMMING.
GOWON
fuck her against a tree
I KID! That's a different ask idea.
She's sweet (because she's not interested in you yet, otherwise she'd be cold) so you two'd get stupidly sugary Ice Cream, like quadruple chocolate 15 pumps of caramel levels of ice cream. Maybe some tteokbokki beforehand (fun fact, its her favourite food), so when you have the ice cream you can go forest exploring. Look at all the flowers like it's One Of A Kind.
Gowon would gush about the dessert, point at the floral and fauna. You two however would almost certainly get lost within the woods, GPS signals can't reach you but instead of panicking Gowon just pulls out a sleeping bag like its planned.
What if it was planned?
HYEJU
Hyeju's cool and hot, so I'd take her to something that reflects that. Haunted house, bring her to one of those. She'd roll her eyes that it's boring but at the same time she'd absolutely refuse to back down and do something else, otherwise she'd be a 'coward.'
And the haunted house will just be some old run down thing, Hyeju would break in first. Showing that she doesn't care whatsoever, the ultimate IDGAFer. The moss & mold is the only scary parts to her because it might poison her. The cobwebs? spiders? cockroaches? Yeah she couldn't care less.
But if you care, she'll laugh at you but also step in front of you. Protect you from all the creepy crawlies and go first through all the abandoned creepy doors.
Hyeju wouldn't put out on the first date, obviously. She's far too closed and intimate off for that, but. Say like 6 months after that day, she'll bring you back to that same place solely to 'celebrate' iywkim
