Ateez Reaction: Taking Their S/o on a date
-------------------------------------
Hongjoong would be the type to spend weeks planning the date without telling you.
The moment he learns about a café, art exhibit, bookstore, or hidden little spot he thinks you'd enjoy, he's already adding it to a mental list. He wants the date to feel natural and effortless, but in reality every detail has been carefully considered.
When he picks you up, he'd try to act cool.
Meanwhile, he's secretly wondering if you'll like the places he chose.
The date itself would probably include several different activities. A cute café in the morning, walking through a local market, maybe visiting an art gallery or somewhere aesthetically pleasing enough for pictures.
Hongjoong loves hearing your thoughts.
He'd ask about your favorite songs, dreams, memories, and random little things.
"If you could travel anywhere right now, where would you go?"
"What's something you've always wanted to learn?"
He genuinely wants to know everything about you.
As the day continues, he'd find himself staring whenever you're distracted.
Watching you smile at something in a shop window.
Listening to you talk passionately about something you love.
Those moments become his favorite part of the date.
By the end of the night, he'd walk beside you quietly while holding your hand.
When you thank him for the date, he'd immediately become shy.
"You don't have to thank me."
But his smile would say otherwise.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A date with Seonghwa would feel like something straight out of a romance movie.
He'd arrive looking amazing while carrying something small for you.
Maybe your favorite snack.
Maybe a cute little gift he saw weeks ago and immediately thought of you.
"I saw this and thought you'd like it."
The date would be elegant but comfortable.
Somewhere beautiful where you can spend hours simply enjoying each other's company.
Seonghwa would pay attention to everything.
If you're cold, his jacket is already around your shoulders.
If you're tired, he's suggesting a place to sit.
If you mention liking something, he'll remember it forever.
The entire date would be filled with gentle touches.
Brushing his thumb across your knuckles.
The highlight of the day would honestly be how he looks at you.
Like you're the most precious thing in the world.
When the date ends, he'd walk you home and hesitate before leaving.
Neither of you wanting the day to end.
"Can I see you again tomorrow?"
As if the answer wasn't obvious.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yunho's ideal date is simple:
The destination barely matters because somehow he'll make everything entertaining.
A random trip somewhere neither of you has ever been?
The entire day would be filled with laughter.
He'd challenge you to every game possible.
"Yunho, you've lost five times already."
He'd celebrate your victories more than his own.
Whenever you succeed at something, he's immediately cheering louder than anyone else.
Photos would be mandatory.
Not because he wants perfect pictures.
Because he wants memories.
By the end of the day, both of you would be exhausted.
Voices gone from laughing too much.
And Yunho would still be smiling.
Because spending time with you automatically makes any day better.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeosang would prefer peaceful dates.
Nothing overly complicated.
Just quality time together.
The best part would be the conversations.
Yeosang often seems reserved, but when he's comfortable with you, he can talk for hours.
The two of you would discuss everything.
His dry humor would appear constantly.
Catching you completely off guard.
Every time you laugh, he'd look pleased with himself.
At some point he'd casually reach for your hand.
Just because he wants to.
And somehow that simple gesture would make your heart race more than anything else.
When the date ends, he'd be reluctant to let go.
Because he genuinely enjoys being around you.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
San turns every date into a love language showcase.
The second he sees you, he's already complimenting you.
"How do you always look this good?"
Neither do the compliments.
San loves physical affection.
So throughout the date expect:
His arm around your shoulders.
If he's close enough to touch you, he probably will.
The actual date could be anything.
He cares more about who he's with than where he's going.
What matters is making memories together.
The sweetest moments happen when he's staring at you.
Because San does that a lot.
"I'm just really happy you're here."
Which somehow makes you melt every single time.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mingi spends the entire week before the date stressing.
Where should he take you?
What if something goes wrong?
The second he sees you, though, all those worries disappear.
And suddenly he's charming without even trying.
Mingi would probably choose a mix of fun and romantic activities.
Walking around at night while talking.
Especially the deep ones.
The two of you could sit somewhere for hours discussing life.
At some point he'd accidentally say something incredibly romantic.
"You're my favorite person to talk to."
Then he'd become embarrassed after hearing himself.
Mingi is also incredibly attentive.
If you're tired, he notices.
If you're upset, he notices.
If you're happy, he notices.
He pays attention because he cares.
And by the end of the date, he'd already be thinking about the next one.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wooyoung's dates are chaos.
The second the date begins, he's already teasing you.
Trying to make you laugh.
Trying to make you blush.
Trying to accomplish both at once.
"Maybe because you're cute."
The man thrives on affection.
Hand holding quickly turns into linked arms.
Linked arms become shoulder hugs.
Shoulder hugs become him leaning on you.
He's attached at all times.
Despite all the teasing, Wooyoung is incredibly attentive.
He notices your moods instantly.
If you're uncomfortable, he's helping.
If you're nervous, he's distracting you.
If you're sad, he's doing everything possible to cheer you up.
The entire date feels exciting because of his energy.
And when the day ends, he suddenly becomes soft.
Holding your hand a little tighter.
Not quite ready to say goodbye.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
He doesn't need grand gestures.
His love shows through actions.
Before the date even starts, he's already remembered everything.
Things you've mentioned once months ago.
The date itself would feel comfortable.
There would be no pressure.
Just two people enjoying each other's company.
Jongho would quietly take care of everything.
Making sure you get home safely.
He isn't overly affectionate in public, but the little moments mean everything.
A hand on your back while crossing the street.
Holding your hand when nobody's paying attention.
His shoulder brushing yours.
Yet somehow they feel incredibly meaningful.
At the end of the night, he'd ask the question he's been wondering all day.
And the second you answer yes, that soft smile appears.
The one he always tries to hide.
The smile that says your happiness matters more to him than anything else.
That would become your favorite part of every date.
