Valentine's Series #6: Love Language | mingi x reader
Tumblr media
Pairing: song mingi x reader
Genre: fluff, romance
Summary: While learning languages together, Mingi realizes he has truly fallen for you.
Word Count: 540 words
Tumblr media
Since moving to Korea and meeting Mingi, both of you decided to study together in order to better understand and communicate with each other. You were able to communicate fairly well but there was still a long way to go.
He would come over to your place most evenings or on the weekend, and the two of you would spend a few hours studying together in a peaceful and tranquil space.
It was during these times, Mingi found himself falling more and more in love with you. When you were deeply engrossed in your worksheet, Mingi would sneak a glance at your studious figure and observe you in a subtle way. He made note of a few things: first, the way you would prop your head in your hand and study the material while mindlessly tapping away your pen on the table now and again. Secondly, you would mumble to yourself while learning and underline your notes a few times as a method of trying to absorb and retain the information. Thirdly, when you realised you were slouching, you would straighten your figure and move closer to the workbook being mindful of your posture. These were just a few things Mingi took notice of, and these were a few things from his list that made him more enthralled by you.
You were diligent and resourceful, and Mingi enjoyed coming over when he could because you would prepare tasty treats and a comfortable study space. It felt like a safe space and you being yourself provided him a sense of warmth and comfort, away from his busy life otherwise.
Recognising he was indeed falling in love with you, on Valentine's Day, he decided to take you out for a nice treat to show you not just how much you meant to him but also, how grateful and thankful he was for all you did and continued to do. After spending some time studying, the two of you headed out for dinner in the late afternoon.
While at dinner, you conversed with the waiter in Korean to order your meal, and Mingi felt deeply armoured with listening to you speak. You worked hard to learn the language and he could see the glimmer in your eyes when you successfully placed the order.
He didn’t even realise that he was smiling goofily at you until you asked him how his studying was coming along.
Mingi blushed because it was now or never to finally confess what he was hiding in his heart.
"Want to hear what I learnt in english today?"
"Yeah?"
"I learnt a phrase,” he explained, “But I’m too scared to say it.”
“You don’t have to be shy around me,” you encouragingly and sweetly answered, “Take your time.”
As you smiled softly at him, Mingi found himself entranced by your affection.
“I,” he began to say, “I love you.”
Upon hearing Mingi’s confession, you began answering in a series of tongue-twisters, none really making any sense and ended up blushing bashfully and hiding your face in your hands so he could not see how red you were turning.
He did see though, and when you composed yourself and said it back to him, he too turned red like a tomato.

i'm inside your head
synopsis: y/n's ability to read minds with a simple glance and communicate telepathically gets them into some interesting situations.
cast: fem telepathic!reader (uses she/they) x gyuvin ft. gunwook & ricky
genre: fantasy, superpowers!au, angst, comedy, fluff
wc: 2.8k (2,845)
warnings: mentions of crowd anxiety, reader has a period, cursing, descriptions of illness, mentions of discrimination against people with powers, brief mentions of family members insulting each other, people y/n isn't close with tend to use only she pronouns with y/n so fair warning, touching grass jokes, events of fic are in non-chronological order, this attempts to go by the korean high school system, lmk if i missed anything
a/n: first zb1 fic and it was kinda a word dump stemming from one of my crazy ideas LOL. the inspiration from this series came after seeing the character nahida (from genshin) and her ability to read the mind of any sumeru npc with her skill. i also thought it'd be kinda cool to explore the different scenarios that y/n could get themselves into if they could do that.
Tumblr media
if you were to go back and ask six-year-old y/n what superpower they would have wanted, they would excitedly have said, "mind reading! it's so cool to know people's thoughts!"
the eighteen-year-old version of you knew better than that, though. since the age of seven, your abilities had only continued to develop, and if you tried enough, you could communicate telepathically with people.
telepathy's fucking annoying sometimes. but it has its perks too.
you can recall many anecdotes, ranging from humorous to depressing to gross, that were the consequence of your telepathic abilities.
1. so he does have a crush..
year 2 of high school
if there was one thing you learned today, it's that kim gyuvin was not great at hiding his thoughts.
when you wanted to focus, it was natural for you to suppress your mind's tendency to peer into the minds of others, but depending on how active their thoughts were, it was difficult.
so that was how you learned in your science class that your cute lab partner wanted to ask you out, but never had the chance to really talk with you until now.
that was all accompanied by a cascade of other thoughts like y/n's such a talented student, I'd love to even be friends with them, and that's a cute necklace.
hm, kinda cute, you thought to yourself. truth be told, you were a little hesitant to make the first move romantically, but a tiny little push couldn't hurt, right?
you innocently whistled while scribbling down a few more notes—you couldn't make it too obvious that you knew his secret. but since the two of you had to make a joint presentation presenting your findings from today's lab, you figured that it would be a lot easier if you exchanged contact information with him.
and hey, he was cute.
you tapped gyuvin on the shoulder and smiled, showing him your lab paper with your personal info written in the right-hand corner.
"i’ve finished this part of the worksheet—here's my number and kakao talk id so we can talk more. let's work hard on the presentation together!"
his lips formed an o of surprise, and you swore that he was blushing. "alright then! uh, thanks for giving me your info!"
AHHHHH wait wait wait oh my god what just happened was all you could hear in his mind. a subtle smile bloomed on your face. science class just got a lot more interesting.
Tumblr media
2. a (mostly) clean separation
year 1 of high school
you actually didn't enjoy telling people about your abilities. it wasn't that people with powers were so uncommon (you forgot the exact figure, but you thought it was about 2 percent of south korea's population that did).
no, it was the specific nature of your abilities. people tended to make assumptions about you as soon as you trusted them enough to drop this info.
it was as if you were suddenly someone not to be trusted, even though you were acting no differently than you had before.
although, their assumptions were understandable. you couldn't say you had never abused your abilities for personal gain, but it was something you didn't want to make a habit of.
revealing to your friend, gunwook, your secret had caused a minor but turbulent period of conflict in your friendship.
he clenched his fists and released them with a sigh. "how did i not connect all the dots? i'm hurt that you've kept this from me for so long."
6 months was a long time to keep a secret, but you were cautious by nature. you knew that not everyone liked people with superpowers, and that some still faced discrimination and greater scrutiny.
besides, you wanted people to get to know you for things outside your powers.
"i'm sorry, gunwook. i had my reasons. i thought you would judge me harshly, and i've had several negative experiences of this happening."
you paused to catch your breath, and continued, trying to silence his troubled thoughts, but it was getting increasingly more difficult. you held a hand to your head.
"look, i'll understand if you want to stop being friends."
he grabbed his water bottle and drank some of the liquid, presumably to calm down. he was facing away from you, and let out a sigh.
gunwook was actually quite level-headed most of the time, which was why it pained you to see him trying to hold back signs of emotional distress.
"y/n, i don't want this to ruin a great friendship. it's just, i have to take time to think about how my perception of you has changed. i don't want to say anything i might regret. this is a... personal issue."
if it was personal, you weren't going to pry. it was up to him to decide if and when he would tell you.
you got one final glimpse of his thoughts before he bid you goodbye.
"not a monster.. they're not a monster. they're not..."
as he walked away, all you could hear were the autumn leaves crunching beneath his feet and the wind that drowned every noise out so easily.
Tumblr media
3. the donut order
year 2 of elementary school
there was no better feeling for you as a kid than the chance of getting a treat after school, and since you had quite the sweet tooth, there was no better place to go than the donut shop.
"which one do you want?" your mother had said, gesturing to the display case of donuts. back then, you could barely see the whole thing, so you had to stand on your tippy-toes.
your gaze settled on one particular flavor. "chocolate, please!"
"you got it, kiddo."
your mother's thoughts were creeping into your mind. this had happened a few times before, but now, they were clearer.
i think i should try something new. lemon sounds good. oh, i'll get another donut for him too, maple. i'm sure hayoung won't mind an oreo. shoot, i don't think i have enough reward points. maybe next time.
"mommy, i think you're getting a lemon donut and bringing back a maple for daddy, and an oreo for hayoung!"
she nodded, but her eyes soon widened with surprise. "yes, that's—wait, how did you know? we'll talk about this later."
you wondered if you had said anything wrong, but quickly returned to the thought of getting a donut.
the employee working the counter was busy refilling certain sections of the display case and seemed to give no indication that she had heard the conversation between you and your mother.
"miss?" your mother asked politely, and the employee looked up. "i'll get one maple, one lemon, one oreo, one chocolate."
"will that be all?"
"yes."
"okay, one maple, one lemon, one oreo, one chocolate," she repeated for confirmation, grabbing each flavor mentioned and placing them in a large box. "you can insert, swipe or tap your card here."
your mom took out her credit card and followed the instructions on the kiosk.
"would you like a receipt?" the worker asked.
"no, thank you."
"alright, thank you and have a good afternoon!"
you followed your mother out the door, watching her quickly stride towards the car. after both of you got in, she sighed.
"y/n, you've always been a pretty smart kid, but i wasn't exactly ready for you to be a mind reader. i'm pretty sure that's why you knew what i was ordering."
you grinned, eyes wide with curiosity. "so i can really read people's thoughts?"
she hummed thoughtfully. "well, let's make sure. i'm thinking of an animal right now, what is it?"
pink giraffe with wings. she should be able to sense that thought.
"a pink giraffe with wings... but that doesn't exist."
she sighed. "what am i going to do with you, my dear child?"
Tumblr media
4. money before morals
year 3 of middle school
you were walking around campus after school, wanting to enjoy a few minutes to yourself. you had your headphones on, not wanting to be disturbed.
however, a figure began to approach you. as you took in his facial features, you suddenly recognized him.
that’s jeon jaebeom. his dad works for the school administration…
he walked in line with you, so you started walking towards a more crowded area to try and get away from him. you could hear him yelling.
“hey, wait! you’re the one who can read minds, aren’t you?”
you took off your headphones and glared at him. “ah, so someone was looking at something they shouldn’t have. keep it down, will you?”
he chuckled, and you wanted nothing more than to punch him in the face, even if it would get you in trouble.
“but you would be useful to me. i’d like for you to help me cheat on our next math test. see if you can get the answer key or something. i’m close to getting a c in that class, anyways.”
you groaned. what an idiotic request. “and why would i do that? so i can get expelled on your behalf?”
he shrugged. “because i’d pay you.”
you did a quick scan of his thoughts.
this bitch would be stupid if she actually did it.
hm, why not play around with him for a bit?
you looked at him quizzically. “how much?”
“100,000 won. you could probably buy a pretty nice meal with that amount.”
it would be useful, but i can't stoop that low to get it, you thought.
you laughed and pretended to thoughtfully consider it for a couple of seconds.
“i don’t think so.”
jaebeom glared at you. “what, you want higher? come on, isn’t this a good enough amount?”
you were truly annoyed and just wanted to blast your music again. why did you even remove your headphones, just to hear him say some nonsense? at least you were the same age as him, so he couldn't say something like "respect your elders."
it was time to go home.
“no, i don’t want your money, i want you to leave me the fuck alone. i’m not someone who stoops that low just to pass one test, but apparently someone thinks i’m a ‘stupid bitch.’”
he sneered and walked past you, shoving you as he did so. “fine. no one would trust someone like you anyways to help because all you’ll do is read their thoughts and manipulate them."
you staggered sideways, trying to regain your balance. you scowled.
really, you should have known better than to entertain a conversation with someone as spoiled as him. he shouldn't have soured your day, but in your defense, the middle school you was bad at picking the correct battles to fight.
still, you wondered if no one would trust you after all.
Tumblr media
5. i'll be your destination
year 2 of high school
you groaned, trying to get up from your bed, and failing. usually, when your time of the month rolled around, the cramps weren't so unbearable, but of course, it had to be more painful than usual this month.
your sister had already gone off to school for the day, but your parents had allowed you to stay home, thankfully. they'd gone off to work, but they left soup that you could reheat in the microwave.
you grabbed a cup and filled it with water. you were bored, but you didn't want to risk getting any of your friends in trouble by texting them (seriously, how hard was it to silence a cell phone?).
although, there was one thing you could potentially try...
hey gyuvin, what class are you in right now?
you didn't expect an instantaneous response or one at all. then again, the more often you contacted someone telepathically, the easier the process was, and you would say you and gyuvin had developed a pretty strong bond.
oh, hi y/n! social studies. you sound like crap by the way, haha.
you could practically visualize his smile. if you had the energy and were with him in person, you'd playfully elbow him.
ugh, so mean.
you just thought of elbowing me, so who's the mean one? ok but seriously, are you sick? fever? your attendance is usually pretty good. or wait, it's that time of the month?
bingo. should i give you a cookie or something for getting it right?
no, but you could give me a kiss...
you smiled. he always got away with cheeky remarks like this.
what an idiot.
heard that.
hey, wait. you have work to do.
it was some boring worksheet and it's done, i swear. besides, i'd rather help you feel better. is there anything i can do?
you've learned that despite initially pegging gyuvin for a jokester, he was incredibly caring and emotionally receptive.
well, talking has already helped me so much. but if you really want to do something... then i want to hear you sing. it doesn't have to be long.
hey, if it makes you happy,
in your head, you heard his boyish voice, singing one of his favorite songs.
i'll be your destination, tell me your favorite song...
he continued the lyrics while you finished your soup, and you felt more relaxed. even the worst days could turn bright whenever he was in your mind.
Tumblr media
6. don't spoil the ending!
year 3 of high school
watching dramas was a slow process for you, and it was another reason why you had to block people's thoughts sometimes.
because occasionally, a certain friend would be thinking about the ending of a show you weren't caught up on...
hey y/n.. guess who finished alice in borderland!
park fucking gunwook. i'm trying to finish this essay, don't you dare. and let me finish season 2 in peace.
come on, you're good at filtering out my thoughts anyways. i think you'll like it.
i have 4 more episodes to go. it's so tempting to just read spoilers online.
clearly, not god's strongest soldier—you should finish soon. honestly, we should have just had a watch party. gyuvin and ricky still need to finish season 1.
true. it's hard to watch a whole show together.
you typed another few sentences. perks of being busy, right?
despite that, you'd noticed that gunwook did manage to finish a few more dramas throughout the year.
being on student council sure does take a lot of time.
still, you get all the work done.
speaking of work, i'll leave you alone. finish the essay, and then we can talk about dramas.
fine, i guess it's time to be a good student.
yeah. but touch some grass every once in a while, i heard the cherry blossom trees are nice this time of year. i honestly think we should have debate club outside.
well, you're indeed the president, so you could probably do whatever you want. anyways, see you soon.
you laughed. nothing like friends telling you to touch grass, right?
quickly, you resumed your research for your argumentative essay, realizing how enjoyable (and yet distracting) it was to talk and reconnect with friends. maybe you'd have time to watch one episode tonight...
Tumblr media
7. information overload
year 2 of high school
family reunions weren't always the greatest place to be. of course, there was a lot of good food, whether it was homemade cooking, or people used another catering option.
but the downside to a large family reunion was an abundance of thoughts to read, which was the case anywhere that was crowded. however, family reunions made you quite nervous.
people's thoughts began to creep into your headspace, the voices semi-recognizable.
she got so fat.
i wonder where he's working? some tech company, i've heard.
auntie's boyfriend is so ugly.
dinner looks good.
can we go home? now?
he'd better get into a sky university.
i hope the kids don't crash into the wall..
of course, it had gotten easier to block these thoughts out, but you could never get rid of them a hundred percent. people had more on their minds than you'd expected.
if your mind was too muddled, it just induced headaches and sometimes, other symptoms such as suddenly feeling nauseous. that's why you couldn't be in crowded places for too long, and you usually had some sort of water bottle with you.
damn, you thought. i need somewhere to be alone.
you tried not to invite conversation as you found your way to the bathroom, shutting the door quickly as you entered.
you sunk to the floor, leaned against a wall, and closed your eyes, glad to be able to rest, if only for a short while. a peaceful smile appeared on your face.
Tumblr media
you'd long accepted that your experiences as an adolescent weren't ever going to be entirely normal, whatever that meant. your powers were a blessing and a curse, a gift and a tool for destruction.
of course, it was up to you to decide how you would use them in the future.
but as long as you had people in your life that accepted and cared for you no matter what secrets you held, you'd be alright.

Word count: 314 Written by: Yeul Proofread: n/a Writer’s note: haha i’m going to brag and say this is based off of my real experiences w/ my s/o heehee
Tumblr media
“The coefficient of x goes here you idiot.”
The grey haired man flicks your forehead with his pen as he looks over to your maths worksheet. You flinch slightly as you shake your head to focus back on the material.
But how could you possibly focus when your cute and attractive boyfriend was in front of you? You couldn’t stop staring at him, his features, his hair, how he looked, his clothes…
“(Y/n)!”
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry–”
Izumi sighs again, fingers managing to pinch your cheek as he pulls.
“You need to focus, you want to pass the finals right?” He comments, cerulean blue eyes staring into yours.
“Yeah. I think?” Your words end up as a question as you slump down on the library desk. You pull your grey hoodie on top of your head as you murmur nonsense. 
“‘I think?’ (Y/n), I know you’re tired an all but still, your goals are the top universities– if you’re like this, that’s not gonna happen…” Izumi’s eyes soften as he places his right hand on the top of your head to push back the hoodie. He pokes your forehead waiting for a response, just for you to turn your head to see the people walking by the library table you both were sat.
“(Y/n)?” Tone laced with concern, your boyfriend tilts his head to check your state.
Murmuring, you whisper a small, “너무 귀여워서 집중 못하겠잖아…”
You couldn’t bear to speak in a language he understood. It was obvious that he would start teasing you relentlessly.
“What?”
You straighten your posture as you shake your head, smacking your cold hands on your warm face as you laugh. “Yeah, I’m definitely going to fail.”
“What? Don’t spout nonsense, you’re not going to fail, at least not with me.”
You chuckle as you nod, smiling as you and Izumi return back to studying.

enjoy this high school!vernon fic based off of a fan signing he did
“Can you teach me something in Korean?” You asked Vernon, who was so diligently filling out a worksheet with the Korean characters beside you. It was only the two of you in the classroom as it usually was once the last school bell rung, taking the opportunity to do homework in this setting with the chalkboards and school supplies. For you, it was so much better to be completing your work at school, so that when you got home, you’d be able to relax. For Vernon, he had to get everything done after the end of the school day because at 5:30, he needs to speed out the door to get to dance practice. Either way, staying after was a win-win situation.
“I mean sure, what do you want to learn?” He looks up briefly at your face before continuing to write on the paper. “Don’t you have your own work to do?” He raises an eyebrow to himself while he mutters the question.
You tug at the collar of the dress shirt you wear for your uniform and unbutton the top button. “Yeah, but I need a break. And you look like you could use one too.”
Vernon scoffs as he pulls on the knot of his tie to undo it. He leaves the accessory hanging around his neck so casually. “Alright, fine.” The folds in between his eyebrows while he scrunches his face make you laugh and you’re so tempted to take your fingers to smooth out his skin. You don’t, though.
“So what do you want to teach me?”
He fishes into his bag for his spare notebook, the one you know he fills with the randomest things. One time, you asked him to look through it and he shrugged and handed it over. There were pages full of written song lyrics, both in English and Korean, as well as to-do lists of the homework assignments he needed to finish. Vernon flips to an empty page and marks it with calculated strokes. It comes out to look like this: 나는 너를 좋아해.
He says the words, but even when he tries to make you repeat it, it’s really difficult, so he breaks it down for you. “Okay, repeat after me. Naneun.”
“Naneun.”
“Neoreul.”
“Neoreul.”
“Joahae.”
“Joahae.”
“Okay, all together. Naneun neoreul joahae.”
“Naneun neoreul joahae.” You can tell you pronounced it correctly because there’s an immediate grin on his face as you finish the sentence. He raises his hand and you slap it for a high five. “So what does it mean?”
“What do you mean?”
“Just because I know how to say something doesn’t mean I know what it means.”
Vernon’s face drops, and there’s that scrunch in his eyebrows again. “It, uh, means I like you in Korean.” He leans his cheek on his hand immediately after, shifting away from you.
“Aw, that’s cute.” You smile, but then the gears start turning in your head and your jaw drops. “Wait, what do you mean? Are you being for real or are you just saying it because it’s what you’ve been writing for the—”
“I mean, why else would I teach it to you?” He still won’t meet eyes with you, but you can see the tips of his ears flush with red.
“I don’t know, maybe you want to teach the third graders how to flirt.”
“Well, is it working?” Vernon finally looks you in the eyes. His tongue is peeking out of his mouth, dragging across his lips. With his shallow breaths, he’s trying to convince himself he won’t lose this friendship, even though he could’ve ruined this completely.
You feign thinking, looking up, then left and right. Vernon leans in slightly and he’s surprised you can’t hear his heart beating out of his chest. “Yeah, I would say it worked.” The breath he’s held in finally releases as he closes his eyes in relief. “I’ve liked you for a while though, Vernon.”
His eyes shoot open. “Huh?” The corner of his lips quirk up in the most confused smile, an expression you've seen too many times to count and one that you've always smiled at.
"Yeah," you say in a knowing tone. "Remember when we were the only ones at the lunch table, like, a few months ago?"
"Yeah, because everyone had stuff to do during that period." He shakes his head like it's obvious, and you shake your head in return.
You grimace and proceed with your sentence. "It's because they wanted me to talk to you about my feelings. Clearly I didn't do that because you just found out right now." You bury your face in your hands, feeling warmth flood your cheeks. This is how it plays out, out of all worst possible ways?
You feel yourself being pulled up, one hand being caressed. His thumb and index fingers graze underneath your chin, so delicately.
There's a moment where you're looking into his eyes and he's looking into yours, and you just know.
His lips are slightly chapped on yours, and it really was only a peck at first, but your eyes flutter open. You blink a few times, dazed and a little confused.
You go in for a second.
("So you really like me?" is a question both of you say to one another—multiple times—as you leave the classroom, as if it wasn't obvious to the people around you.)

~조차
[This post features songs by ATEEZ, CL, and IVE]
조차 is attached to nouns to say "don’t even" or "not even". This particle is always used with negative statements and has the nuance of a situation not meeting the basic requirements or a person not doing the bare minimum. It is also often paired with the expression ~은/는커녕 to further emphasize its meaning (more on that later 🤭).
Note: The structure ~(으)ㄹ 수조차 없다 is paired with verbs.
Sentence structure(s)
1. noun + 조차
Ex. 내가 장학금을 받게 줄은 생각조차 못했습니다.
(I never even thought I’d get a scholarship.)
Ex. 프랑스어를 배웠는데 지금은 숫자조차 생각나지 않아요.
(I used to learn French but now I can’t even remember the numbers.)
Ex. 아이는커녕 애완 동물조차 키우고 싶지 않아요.
(I don’t even want to look after pets, let alone children.)
*예문 taken from Dreamer Hangugeo
2. verb + (으)ㄹ 수조차 없다
Ex. 무대가 너무 멀어서 배우의 얼굴을 볼 수조차 없었어요.
(The stage was so far away that I couldn’t even see the actor’s face.)
Ex. 자전거를 타고 슈퍼마켓에 가다가 오토바이와 부딪쳤어요. 지금은 너무 아파서 걸을 수조차 없어요.
(I was riding my bike to the supermarket and I ran into a motorcycle. It hurts so much that I can't even walk.)
*예문 taken from here
~조차, the k-pop way
“날 나조차 다 알 수 없으니”
-from After Like by IVE
Meaning: Even I don’t know myself
"간식조차 없는 판치는 니들 잔치"
-from SPICY by CL
Meaning: Your feast doesn’t even have any snacks.
"방향조차 선택할 수 없어 겁이 나"
-from Take Me Home by ATEEZ
Meaning: I can’t even choose a direction. I’m scared.

I've been studying/teaching my coworker Korean and genuinely having such a fun time making powerpoints and worksheets for him and it's reminding me of when I was majoring in education before covid hit

Stray Kids Age Regression/Caregiver HC
this was requested
Tumblr media
this is an age regression headcanon; if you don't like that, don't read it. age regression is a sfw coping mechanism, so i will be blocking anyone who might sexualize it
Chan
as a caregiver
first of all,,
chan is probably one of the most patient caregivers you'd ever have
if not THE MOST patient
he never wants to hurry you or push you further than what you need and are comfortable with
he'll help you of course
but with things like figuring out your emotions
or maybe smaller things like wanting to pick a snack to have
or building or colouring something
those things he'd never hurry along
time is precious in his eyes, and so is giving you space to figure things out on your own
and THEN if you ask for help, he'll come and help
or if you're in a situation that he can feel you wanting to step away from
then he's there too, showing that you can always rely on him when you want to
he's also the type take pics of you on his phone every time you do something cute
you're playing with a kitchen set he bought you?
*click*
you're into something playing on the tv?
*click*
you're pouting while sleeping?
*click*
and if you're okay with it, he'll want to show his friends the pictures
boasting about "look how cute my baby is"
the two of you also take walks in the park
he loves the times where you'd find a little bug or creature or just nature that you're intrigued by
he'll sit down on the ground, pull you into his lap and tell you about the thing, rly dad-like
maybe even pick it up if you're hesitant to, showing you that there's nothing to be scared of
when regressed
when regressed, chan has a lot of trouble articulating
which is why his words comes out slurred when he's speaking
he'll most likely mix english words into his korean sentences
unless he can talk only in english
and then there might be korean words mixed into his sentences there as well
he's most likely to regress when he's sleepy, head already fuzzy
he's mostly pretty quiet when he's small
unless he has a lot of energy heheh
he likes sitting back and look at people being silly
always with a biiiig smile and clapping while laughing
but even though he's a calm soul, he loveslovesloves play fighting!!!
when he has to climb over someone to get something or try to grab it from their hand as they're keeping it from him
idk,, he loves doing that, he finds it so much fun!!
if it goes on for long enough and he starts to get frustrated he might,,,
stomp his tiny foot and cross his arms, exaggerated pout on his lips :(((
he also just likes playing pretend
sometimes he's someone from a movie (most likely a superhero)
but sometimes he'll just be anything that he can think of
a dog, a bull, maybe even a dragon
he's been a bull a few times, loving the reactions he gets when he runs head-first into someone's legs hehh
also,, if he's going somewhere with someone
holding hands is a requirement!!
he will not go if one of his hands aren't being held
if you want a happy cutie chan, feed him
he'll most likely show you his adorable lil happy dance
wiggling his body
beware though, because he has a habit of playing with his food
so,, either contain him to an area where he can't do much damage or,,, be ready to clean up after him
Tumblr media
Minho
as a caregiver
i already wrote how i think he'd be like as a cg here
but i'll expand a bit more on some ideas ^^
being homeschooled by cg minho>>>>>>
tiny words of encouragement
you're working on a korean language book for kids
tracing over the characters in the book
spelling out some animals and simple words
like 안녕하세요 and 감사합니다
he sits behind you and runs his hand over your hair while he watches as you fill out the pages
so! much!! praise!!!
he'd probably smile and fluff your hair when you look to him to see if an answer you wrote down was correct
maybe even kiss your temple when you are working
just because you look SO CUTE while being concentrated
after you're finished and he has checked your worksheet for mistakes he says that it's time to go to the playground
as soon as he says the word 'playground' you're up and running after your jacket and shoes
you're always so excited to go to the playground
there's mostly empty when you go
minho somehow always knowing when there'll be no kids
so you get to go on the swings and the slide without having to wait, and there's no parents looking at you weird
you even get to play in the sandbox with minho :D
when regressed
he absolutely LOVES being called baby
his favourite thing to be called ever!!
better if it's in korean
"minho aegi~~"
gone is minho, melted away
right under 'being called baby' on his list of what he loves most in the world is being cuddled
every chance he gets, he WILL cuddle someone
he will pull you to him and lock around you, koala style
he loooves when he's the one being the little spoon
held so dearly
warmth all around him
then he really feels cared for
like nothing in this world can hurt him
small and soft and just tiny
he comes with small sound effects
barely audible but they're there
he mostly doesn't mean to let out the small sounds, it's just something he does when he's doing something while small
loves when you play with his hair,,
like make tiny ponytails or pigtails
he looks adorable and he knows it!!
will poke you at random
he just loves the weird look he gets when he pokes you and doesn't say anything
will be like :o or laugh at most things
very curious baby
will giggle randomly after saying something
you have no idea why he does this, but it's pretty cute hearing it
Tumblr media
Changbin
as a caregiver
i think he's not very outspoken about the care he shows as a caregiver
he'd rather be silent about any good deeds
like he'd do something for you without you realizing it and he'll just sit back and watch everything go smoothly with a smile
but with other caregivers he might share his concerns
he always thinks he can be a better caregiver, even if he's trying his best
he'd be the type to carry you in from the car if you've fallen asleep instead of waking you up
that's the best way to describe it
suddenly you wake up in your bed, last thing you remember is sitting in the car with binnie
and he won't acknowledge it if you don't do it first
he'd gladly lend his body to you if it makes you comfortable
you need a lap to sleep in? he's sitting down for you to use his immediately
you feel a bit cold? he's hugging you tight from behind to share his body heat
you're in need of something to hug? well, his arm is free and there for you to use for all your hugging needs
the second you're left alone for some reason, he'd have an itch to constantly check up on you to make sure you're alright
other caregivers might look at him and think that he's a bad caregiver because he doesn't coddle you and interact with you all the time
but the more they see him in action, the more they see that he always puts his baby's needs first, before anything else
he'd let you use his body as a tree to climb if you got too much energy
he'd also never get mad at you
if he can feel himself get irritated, he takes a breather bc he knows he can look really scary when he's mad and he never wants you to be scared, especially when you're regressed
when regressed
okay but little binnie is a jokester
he likes pulling his hyungs or caregiver(s) along with his little shenanigans without telling them anything
he's also LOUD
like very very loud
and hyper, but mostly loud
like, you'll never doubt that he's feeling small, just bc of the sheer volume this boy has
he likes hugs and skinship but gets easily flustered when that happens in front of other people he may consider his friends in headspace or people he looks up to
but he's also a little silly about it
like, as soon as someone cuddles him in any way, he'd run off, acting like it's the most outrageous thing ever
but when he turns around and sees he isn't being followed with the "threat" of more cuddles, he seeks the person who tried to cuddle him again, looking for more, secretly loving the closeness
but if he's sad or hurt you better give him hugs and cuddles STAT
he needs the tight hugs and the patting on his back with small shushes, or else he will NEVER feel good again (that's how he feels anyway)
his voice is DEFINITELY lighter when he feels small
like, he sounds so cute, no matter if he baby talks or not, just bc his voice is so light and he giggles loads :(((
he's also talking about himself in third person a lot
"can binnie have-" "changbinnie baby"
also, cute noises galore
those cute noises are mostly "da"
and he'll say them randomly and sometimes when he doesn't wanna say actual words
then it's his caregiver(s)' job to find out what the meaning behind "da!" is this time
and he's a v v scared baby, so remember to choose cartoons and movies and such carefully bc you might end up with a crying binnie or a binnie with nightmares
also, please give this boy a fidget toy
Tumblr media
Hyunjin
as a caregiver
hyunjin,,, he's the type to baby you so much that you become very much dependent on him
changbin was the type to only fix problems when they presented themselves too much of a challenge for you?
well, hyunjin is the complete opposite
how dare there be anything in your way?
he'll fix all of your problems and then coo at you like you'd just experienced something bad
hyunjin with 1000% babytalk to you
i don't care that you may not regress young, he will babytalk you regardless
like,, the cringe way that you see those overly attached parents do to their spawn
he's also the type to have his entire focus on you
the building he's in could be burning and he wouldn't care bc you're there
...that's an exaggeration bc he'd save you from said burning building
bottom line is that he's not ever taking his eyes off you by his own free will
and if he can get away with it, he's definitely carrying you everywhere
he's also the first/only one i see being cool with being a caregiver for multiple littles
and he'll still try to give each one the same amount of attention, but he figures out at some point that it's just not possible
he'll still try though
he's the type to yell
but in fake/silly anger
"Yah!! why is my baby so adorable when asking for ice cream for dinner?! how can i say no to that when they're so cute??!! aaaahhh!!!"
he just loves his baby a lot (maybe too much) and he's not afraid to show and/or yell it to the world
when regressed
i don't know what it is about small hyunjin or why he's like this, but a big thing for him when he's little is saying small things in english
maybe it's the praise that goes along with it when he does it
maybe it's bc it's a language he's not the best at, so he feels smaller
but sometimes he'd just say some small english sentence, looking around at the people around him when he's done
he loves oversized clothing when he's small
he wants to be able to pitch his sweatshirts like a tent, that's how big he wants them
sometimes he wants them so much that if there aren't any oversized clothes for him to wear, he threatens you with not wearing clothes at all until he gets to wear a huge hoodie or something like that
he's a brat and loves teasing people but as soon as there's a chance of there being some sort of consequence for his actions, he's apologizing profusely and backtracking
either that or he's doubling down
it can be either in any given situation, you can never predict how he'll react
he's cute and he knows it, but if anybody else calls him cute he finds somewhere to hide
mostly under blankets but sometimes you'll also find him under the couch
completely flustered
he's almost always giggling
hiiiiigh giggles
cute n light
and he keeps jumping around, like a little bunny, mostly when he doesn't know what to do with himself
i feel like someone who'd be well equipped to handle him when he's small, would be minho
whether he's hyunjin's caregiver or just an uncle type, he's the one who can read hyunjin the best and deals with his antics effortlessly
Tumblr media
Jisung
as a caregiver
physically reassuring !!!!!!
as a caregiver, he loves making sure his baby is okay by holding their hand,, placing a hand on their shoulder or back, or maybe even just hugging them
it's all to get their attention and feel him there
he does so much for his baby's sake, even if he doesn't really care for it
like, if you like a particular tv show but he doesn't, he'll go out of his way to watch it with you, just because he knows you enjoy it
he's also really good at giving praise
if he wants you to know that you did something that made him happy he'll say that ofc, but also the small things, like putting one of your toys away
"good job, baby!"
but if he's praised as a caregiver, make sure to keep an eye out for red ears, bc he's so easily flustered when the praise is for him
he may act like he's receiving it well and he's most likely like "of course, i'm the greatest caregiver of all time!" but his ears don't lie
he's silly but not in a very obvious way when he's in caregiver mode
he likes to make little jokes, inside jokes mainly, things he knows will get a laugh, to get his baby to giggle a bit and then he goes back for more cuddles
he tries to be so brave for his baby when it comes to animals, but when you're not looking, he lets out his scared expressions
he complains a bit if his baby wants to look at or touch creepy crawlers, but he will never limit your curiosity
he will usually just keep a good distance, himself
he may forget the small details sometimes
like, if you don't like peas or if you prefer your drink a special way
but he always knows things like how to make you happy, how to comfort you when you're sad
and when you know stuff like that, the little things don't matter all that much
when regressed
clumsy clumsy baby
like, if you go out with him, parks are probably the best bc then he has something soft to fall on when he stumbles
flappy hands when he's excited
now, because of his social anxiety, jisung needs extra special care when he's regressed
he needs personal grounding methods, an emergency plan for panic attacks and a list of comfort items
he also does better if he has one primary caregiver
then he knows who to go to and they'd know how to handle bad moments
a grounding method of his is probably the 54321 method
yk, list 5 things you can see around you, 4 things you can touch around you, 3 things you hear, 2 things you can smell and 1 thing you can taste
though, he does need to be guided through that, which is why a caregiver for him is a little essential
at least a babysitter
his caregiver/babysitter also has to make sure he has mobile games available or a hand console for video games
while he may not regress very young, he still needs a lot of care, equivalent to the care someone regressed younger would need
i imagine him being non-verbal if he's not somewhere he's comfortable and with people he trusts completely
so, a lot of tugging on clothes when he needs attention or tapping his cg's shoulder
very very easy to tears
bc when he's regressed, he doesn't hold anything back
it's his safe space to do so
also, pls pls pls bring his stuffie wherever you go
one he can hug when he's overwhelmed or feeling the need to self-soothe
overall happy baby unless he's in an uncomfortable environment with people he doesn't know
Tumblr media
Felix
as a caregiver
felix is such a sensitive person
like, we all know he's a big sunshine but he's also blames himself a lot and feels guilty easily
so, he might need to be reassured a lot that he's doing a good job
otherwise he might start thinking that he's a bad caregiver and isolate himself
he'd have some idea of what to do when caring for someone younger, as he does have a little sister, but he's also the middle child, so he would probably need a bit of help
i'm thinking that, yes, he'd take care of things like making you snacks, helping you with clothes, and all the other essential things, but as more of an older brother type of caregiver than as a parental figure
his go-to thing to do with you is cuddle
cuddle while watching tv, cuddle while reading books, cuddle while getting you to sleep/waking you up, it's just his favourite way to do anything
he's also rly possessive over you, so it just works out rly well if you're constantly in his arms
if his members were to talk to you when you're regressed or baby you, even if you weren't regressed, he'd quickly bring is arms around you, pouting that you're his
one of his other fave things to do with you is 'beauty salon'
you get all kinds of creative freedom with putting nail polish and makeup on him
when you're done, sitting in anticipation, waiting for him to pick up the mirror and tell you what he thinks, he always makes sure to be 'pleasantly surprised'
he knows, of course, that it wouldn't be anywhere near the professional looks he gets in comebacks and such, but he always loves what you do
(and even if it looks absolutely terrible, he always finds at least one thing to praise)
when regressed
so, have we all seen him patting himself to self-soothe? bc i have
anxious little bean
he just wants to be comforted more than anything
he will cling onto his caregiver at any given chance, but sometimes doubt gets the best of him and he thinks that people around him hate that he's this clingy
and then he tries his best to self-soothe with touch he remembers being comforting
like wrapping his arms around himself
or, in situations where he's trying to be lowkey or feels a bit worse about himself, he pats or strokes his hair
be on the lookout for these !!!!!! bc that means that he needs a prescription of ALL THE HUGS!!!!
cuddle piles are the best
he might also try to lighten his voice bc it doesn't sound right in his ears to have such a deep voice when being 4 or so years old
just making sure that he knows he doesn't have to do it and that's he's a tiny kid regardless should do the trick
oh yeah, and remember those animal onesies that were rly popular some years ago? the rly soft and snuggly ones? (ahem i have 3 ahem)
he will practically live in one if he had the chance
even better if the one he got is of a kangaroo
bc he miss home and then he got extra pockets heheh
he's the kind to silently tuck himself into his caregiver's side
like, under the cg's arm and head tucked into a crevice, most likely the chest or neck
and, for some reason, that mostly happens in the kitchen, when the cg is cooking something
speaking of kitchen!! he loooves baking cake with his cg
it's a time where he can have a dance party while baking and maybe even have a flour fight and then end up with delicious baked goodness
and if his cg tells him he can't have cake as a snack all the time, that's okay!!
he likes fruit too when he's regressed, so give him the job of rinsing the fruit while an 'adult' cuts it, and he'll be very content with that
also, be patient with him when he's just woken up bc he's pretty dazed
Tumblr media
Seungmin
as a caregiver
very very soft-spoken
could look like he's just a pushover bc he lets his baby get away with a lot of things
but he does have a limit
people just aren't quick to notice bc he's very soft about it
when he says "no more" he says it quietly
he doesn't need it to be broadcasted to anybody who isn't the one he's saying it to
and that's partly why his baby listens to him so well
he doesn't make a big scene about when his boundaries have been met, nor does he put you on the spot
he handles things privately and quietly
doesn't mean he isn't filled with sass that is ready to be unleashed at any moment
i don't think he'd sass his baby too much, but he'd sass his members a bit extra when you're around bc you always giggle and clap your hands at it
and maybe once in a while you'd also sass his members
the reaction from him is a bit of pride but most of all he thinks it's funny, when you haven't crossed a line
the other members can't believe how much his sassy nature has rubbed off on you though
the look at you and him in shock, mouths wide open while seungmin just smiles and shrugs
always has his camera ready for shooting some pictures of his baby
probably has a whole photo album just of his baby when they're regressed
his favourite thing is to take you to the aquarium or to the zoo
just somewhere you don't normally go
and then he gets to take pics of you being fascinated by all the things around you
when regressed
i feel like seungmin is the most independent when regressed
most times he's just in his own little world
he doesn't need a whole lot
of course, it'd be nice to not have to do things like cook for yourself, but when snacks exist and when you can buy entire meals, finished
he's old enough to work a microwave when he's regressed
so really, he doesn't need a cg
wouldn't complain if one fell into his lap though
that doesn't mean he doesn't thoroughly enjoy it when there are people around him
he loves being a little menace to his hyungs
so so so giggly!!
like, he giggles almost all the time when he's small
when he's watching tv, when he's eating, when he's running around, etc.
he doesn't treat stuffed animals all that nicely...
maybe it's because he's a little older than most of the group when they're regressed
he might, once in a while, like to cuddle with a soft stuffed animal when he's going to sleep but other than that, nah
he just pokes them in their eyes, pulls on their ears, just doing something that would make other littles gasp in horror
he's the only one where i'm pretty certain he also pet regresses
or at least likes to pretend that he's a puppy when he's regressed, i don't know but he's a tiny puppy sometimes
which means being even rougher with the stuffed animals, because if he can fit even an arm or ear of the plushie into his mouth, it's getting chewed on and roughed up
you know the way that dogs swing a toy around when they're playing?
yeah....
Tumblr media
Jeongin
as a caregiver
if you don't care about if your stuff gets dropped or maybe ruined, go ahead and give them to jeongin
but um,, don't give him stuff that breaks easily
he's broken a few of his baby's figurines and it's rly a wonder that it happens sometimes
there's a shortage of bowls that aren't made out of plastic
so, he may be the caregiver, but you really look out for each other, since he needs a hand too
he loves singing songs to have his baby dance to them
(it's mostly gonna be trot songs, and if you complain enough; trot versions of skz's songs)
as he's not in a position to take care of anybody usually, yk with being the youngest in the group, he's not too sure in a caregiving role
he'd probably be more at ease being called a baby sitter, instead of a caregiver, as he usually just feels like he's making sure no fatal accidents happen on his watch
and that the house is relatively clean in the process
you'd think he may not be one for a lot of hugs and cuddles, but i'd say almost the opposite
idk, there's just something about being the one to take care of another person instead of being the youngest that makes him wanna cuddle his baby
not a lot but enough
like, for movies or when you ask for cuddles on nights you can't sleep
and ofc he'll hug you if you asked for it (of if you're too adorable for him to stop himself but shhh)
i think one part of being a caregiver that he rly excels at is brushing teeth
he'll be so careful when brushing his baby's teeth
he knows how to angle the toothbrush to get all the crevices from years of figuring out how to effectively brush his teeth with braces
and he knows how it can hurt if people are not careful when dealing with teeth and gums so he's super gentle
when regressed
now, not to be harsh
but he's a little shit
and he knows he's safe when he's regressed bc no one would dare hurt him when he's small
so he won't even get the usual shoulder punch he'd get when he isn't regressed
and he's about to make that fact everyone's problem
and when he knows he's on the verge of a punishment, he runs to hyunjin to save him
and he does. every. single. time
baby jeongin eats a lot and he does it quickly
you've made him a snack and turn around for a second to get some for yourself?
he's already finished and asking for more
you fear that one day he'll get an upset stomach bc of the speed of which he's eating but that day never comes
fortunately for you
if you want a little baby innie who's just cute and sweet and adorable, then you have to be there when he's just woken up
he's just soft and fuzzy there, just a tiny baby
when it's time for bed, he's also a bit quieter and lowkey
you tend to be that way after a whole day of annoying everyone around you
it's draining
but it's one of his cg's favourite time of the day
he's still a silly little boy, but he's more prone to doing what's asked of him
like, he'll be all silly, making jokes and talking back but when you ask him to raise his arms to get him in pajamas, he'll do it
the same with going to sleep
he's not a difficult one to get to go to sleep
he just needs a night light and sweet words beforehand and then he's good to go to dreamland
Tumblr media
A/N: this took me sooo long to finish, i'm so so sorry for the wait. i love doing headcanons bc i put a lot of thought and research into it, but it's also a lot of work, especially when it's an entire group and for both the caregiving and age regressing side PHEW i hope you enjoy it though!!
also, pls don't come for me, these were just some small thoughts on how i think they might be. i'd say i don't know them well enough to come to these conclusions easily, so yeah
feedback would be awesome if you could spare a second <3

Hi ! I'm curious, which languages are on your to learn list if you don't mind me asking ?
Oh, hello!!
So the three that I want to learn are Japanese, Korean, and Igbo.
I actually tried teaching myself ages ago in like 2017 because my first year of uni ended super early in like May and I didn't start the next academic year until October that same year and so I was really bored and just decided to learn Japanese. I'd always been curious about it since I was a big anime fan but that was the year I genuinely tried. I ended up printing off a bunch of worksheets to practice with and I even made flashcards and stuff, but once classes started back up again I got busy and so was unable to to pick it back up. It was a shame because I managed to teach myself the entire Hiragana alphabet, but now I've forgotten some of the characters. I'll try again at a later point.
Then Korean became a point of interest because I'm a big fan of BTS and their lyrics touched me so deeply I wanted to learn even a bit of the language to appreciate BTS's lyrics in their original form without anything getting lost in translation. I taught myself the alphabet for that, too, and to an extent I can read and write in Korean, but I'm nowhere near fluent and would like to fix that as well.
The last is Igbo for the very obvious reason of it being my parents' native language (it's one of the most common languages in Nigeria along with Yoruba and Hausa). It's always been something I've wanted to learn for some time since growing up in the US meant I didn't really pick it up, but the frustrating thing is that there are way fewer resources, so teaching myself can only get me so far. I've been looking up other methods and have found there are online tutors/courses I could take, so I was thinking about pairing that with any self-teaching I do with books and the like. Another roadblock is the fact that learning Igbo from books and courses will only teach you Central Igbo, but my parents speak a specific dialect of Igbo used in their hometown down south, so I'd still have to tweak what I teach myself to match their dialect. It's a work in progress, but I'm hoping to buy some vocab and grammar books soon to get started. One day when I have kids, I'd ideally like to pass on the language to them as well.
Technically, I could say that I want to learn four languages because I learned Spanish from age 4 up until age 15, but I fell out of practice after that and my Spanish is very meh right now. I can still read and write it just fine but I can tell my lexicon has shrunk. I should maybe rebuild it when I have time.
That's the thing with me. So many things I want to do, but never enough time! If you've got any advice for me, I'd love to hear it. 😭

2023.06.23 | day 46/100 days of productivity
ripening raspberries | 谁动了我的骨灰坛
completed today:
- kmj study—i went over the reading except for this chapter and worked on some of the exercises based on the text.
- kr notes—mostly a reinforcement of the usage of 이, 그, and 저 as pronouns when combined with 거, plus a little bit of writing practice.
- finished the first chapter of 《设定了我的骨灰坛》—this i am very pleased by, since i was lagging a bit in my reading; the story is fairly quickly-paced, though, which helps a lot, so even though it’s longer than zdzb, i feel like i have an easier time reading it.
- read a couple of dot articles—i checked my progress, and apparently i’ve studied over two thirds of the hsk 4 vocabulary, which i am very pleased by. i’m making my way through the hsk 4 course at a decent clip—hopefully this’ll give me an advantage in reading when i start classes again in the autumn.
- looked into an intensive cn study programme at my uni—i need to do a bit more research, but i think i might apply for it, since it’s aimed at giving students a professional-level proficiency, which is exactly what i want, given i plan on moving back.
- worked on my cn worksheets—i’m really glad i was able to find the textbooks i did, as my familiarity with their structure makes planning studying much easier
- translated a poem—a very short one, admittedly, but it gave me a chance to test the waters.
to do:
- mongolian study.
- korean study.
- read a couple more dot units.
- read some more of 《谁动了我的骨灰谈》.
- prep for my advising appointments next week.

Learn Korean with BTS Lessons and Materials
Tumblr media
Hi everyone! I previously developed a companion course for Learn Korean with BTS. The lesson videos have been public on YouTube for a while, but now I'm also making the supplemental materials I made (quizzes, worksheets, other exercises) available for my newsletter subscribers.
If you'd like to watch the videos, here's a link to the playlist.
If you'd like to get the other materials, this page contains a sign up box. After signing up, you'll get an automatic email with the downloads. (Check your spam and promotions folders...the email tends to end up there a lot, probably because I've attached files.)
I hope these materials are helpful to those on a Korean language learning journey! The videos and materials were meant for the books, but you can also use them without.
