when kim seowan gets into studying, it’s hard to pull him out of it! with his nose buried deep into his books, your pleas for attention will fall on deaf ears

“seowannn~” you whine, throwing your eraser at him “won’t you spare me just a glance?” he’ll chuckle and turn his eyes to meet yours, a grin displayed on his face “there, i looked at you. happy now?”

his words are harsh, but his tone is warm to the touch. you know how much effort he’s putting in to pass his exam!

he tried his best to get you to study with him! he’s setting down iced americanos in front of the both of you “alright, let’s focus now, okay?”

seowan’s fighting spirit motivates you to do your best too!! he encourages you by saying you’re in it together

he believes that teaching you is the best way of memorization! during meals, he’s rambling off history trivia and random math equations

kim seowan’s favorite way of studying is the pomodoro method! in between intervals of reading paragraphs of texts, you hear the ding of his alarm, signaling break time!

during breaks, he loves to chat about his favorite subject: you

he’s asking you how your day was, if you’ve eaten, what shows you’ve been catching up on, anything! it comes to a stop as his alarm dings again. before turning back to the books, seowan always makes sure to press a loving kiss to your cheek

pleaaase help him with his studies! when you have downtime, he’s shoving a stack of flashcards into your hands, eagerly asking begging you to quiz him

“for every question i get correct, you have to kiss me!”

to his disbelief, he masters each section quickly! “ah, if i knew it could be done like this, i would’ve done it sooner” he says with a pout, puppy dog eyes staring back at you

after finally passing his exam, seowan makes sure to reward you for it! both of you celebrate by having a romantic dinner together followed by a long night of loving <3

it’s a part of gu dae-hong’s schedule to sit down at the end of the day and write a few words in his journal

definitely has a page dedicated to mood tracking! lucky for him, most of the slots are colored in yellow, representing a positive mood

dae-hong definitely convinces you to journal with him! he claims it’s a good form of unwinding and appreciating every day!

he likes to keep scraps like receipts or tickets to paste into his journal! currently, his favorite things to keep are receipts from restaurants on dates out <3

you and dae-hong are regular visitors to craft stores and daiso! after a quick drink at the cafe, you two roam around for hours picking up new sheets of stickers, paper, and decorative tape

sometimes, when you’re not looking, dae-ho will flip to a random page in your journal and write a sweet message!

“let’s have another great day together! i love you” you can’t help but to grin at the note! you’ll have to write one back later when he’s not looking

when he has a bad shift at the station, his journal is probably the first to hear about it. dae-hong hurriedly snatches his journal off of his desk, spilling his rants into it

his reasoning is that if he goes to you first about his problems, he could come off as irrational or too harshly spoken

sitting together, both of you will go through his entry and pick out the key problems and make ways to solve them!

looking for journal inspiration, your hands eagerly move to your boyfriends journal! he gave you the pass to flip through it, and you were going to use it!

nothing seems out of the ordinary until you’re met with a page in the back of the book, displaying a polaroid picture from when you two started dating, both of you smiling brightly at the camera

the page is decorated with hearts and stars, papers cut in detail to frame the photo beautifully

in dae-hong’s beautiful print, the date of your anniversary is written, followed by both of your names in the middle of a heart

looking further, you see how much of dae-hong’s journal is actually about you

he noted down your doctors appointment, a reminder to himself to take you

he noted down the date of the concert you wanted to see, referencing it later when he bought the tickets

he even noted down the date of your interview, so that he could be there to cheer you on and celebrate with you afterwards!

if it had to do with you, gu-daehong would be damned if he forgot anything important, and journaling helped him with just that!
