A⇴ AFFECTION
Whenever Hongjoong is around you, his priority is always to make sure that you're protected in his affection. Even if no one else is around, he'll still like to make sure that you always feel safe underneath his touch and in his presence.
B ⇴ BEFORE DATING
Several of the other members had caught onto him staring across at you as you worked at the company, eventually he was pushed into introducing himself to you. When a figure stumbled into your path, anger boiled inside of you, but as soon as you saw how apologetic the guy was, all was quickly forgiven.
C ⇴ CONFESSION
You knew on a date at the fair, as soon as you saw a stall with minion toys on it, Hongjoong would want to win. However, when he did, and made sure he won the biggest toy that they did, gifting the toy to you, you knew he was up to something. He wasn't the best when it came to using words and love, so he just hoped that the toy would be enough to tell you how he felt about you, and thankfully for him, it was.
D ⇴ DATES
With so much of his time spent working and at the studio, you'll often set up dates at the studio to work around his busy schedule. You'll try and squeeze as much time out of him as possible, and even though sometimes these dates can barely last an hour, you always make sure to treasure the fact that you have time to spend with Hongjoong, however long or short it is. Whilst he gives his music a break, the two of you will sit on the floor, usually with food between the two of you, and catch up on your days and weeks.
E ⇴ EXPERIENCE
Before dating you, Hongjoong had no real expectation of what being in a relationship would be like, however there was one thing that he was certain of, the fact he wanted to still be a good leader and set a good example to the other members about what being in a relationship entailed. The work and personal life balance was key for Hongjoong, especially with so much of his time spent working on music and composing, so once the two of you figured that out and understood each other, the biggest problem was already solved.
F ⇴ FIGHTING
At times Hongjoong can be very serious, which you know comes from his role as a leader and his dedication to get things done. However, sometimes that strictness that he finds himself using at work, can translate at home, often crossing a few of the boundaries between you both. You often have to remind Hongjoong of who he's speaking to, reminding him that he's not at work and capable of bossing people about, and that you'll get things done when you're ready. As soon as he realizes the way in which he's spoken to you though, he'll always make sure to apologize and make up for the things he said.
G ⇴ GETTING TO KNOW HIS FAMILY
It was an accident the first time you met his family, dropping by at the studio, you didn't expect to see his older brother there. However, it ended up working in your favor, seeing that you were caring for Hongjoong and making sure that what he ate was a big brownie point on his brother's list, and his family's as well.
