• and whoop you get whatever you were asking for

• cuddle sessions with your little labradoodle puppy and your kitten

• the labradoodle is named Aegi (technically his name is Dino b/c of how much Chan loves your puppy but you once called him your aegi ((dino nugu aegi??¿?¿)) and now he is named Aegi) and the kitten is Angel because of the shine it took to Jeonghan

• beautiful aesthetic selfies and awesome selfies and so many selfies because let's face it Minghao is the selfie king

• him sending you the cutest and funniest pictures from the practice room

• like the one where you could only see his left eye and eyebrow because he was more focused on the background where Seungkwan looked about ready to throw a chair at Jun

• going on casual dates to pretty parks and little coffee shops

• sitting with your head on his shoulder as he tries to write lyrics

• convincing him to show his lyrics to Jihoon

"but what if it doesn't fit the album concept"
"jagiya i totally believe in you and your abilities to write amazing songs no matter what concept"

• sneaking out with him

• not to do anything nasty

• just because if Jun saw you then he would shriek and coo over you two at top volume and everyone would promptly know that you were going on a date with Minghao

• taking pictures of the blissful look on his face when he discovers that you guys have nailed a recipe he remembers from his childhood

• him admitting that he wants to stay with you forever as he's falling asleep
