dating wen junhui [birthday special]
happy jun day, carats! here’s a celebratory junhui headcanon<3
junhui x afab!reader
headcanon
i’m very informal with my headcanons compared to my fics
chinese used typically has translation/romanisation except for the birthday song
okay so we know this man LOVES cooking for others
like did you see him when they were on in the soop?
so he’s always cooking for you and complains if you try to instead
it takes a whole lot of convincing for him to let you cook on his bday
but you don’t care you will succeed and spoil him on his special day
you’re always awake before him
even though he’s an idol, you’ve never once been the last person awake
so you get up and make him 包子 (bāozi) which are steamed stuffed buns
and you decided to spice things up and do both pork AND beef (fancy you)
not gonna lie you have no fucking clue how to make it but google is your best friend, peeps
you also practised happy birthday in cantonese just for him !!
so when the 包子 was done you prepped the table all nice and pretty with a red tablecloth
you’ve become pretty close with hao thanks to jun and hao actually sneaked you some longevity noodles at your front door last night while jun was showering
so you put those on the table with the 包子 because you want to follow as many traditions as possible for him even if he’s not home in china
hao knew that so he helped a lot<3
waking him up singing happy birthday in cantonese!!!
恭喜你哋,恭喜你!!!
man he just knows he fucking loves you at this point my lovelies
he pulls you back into bed fairly quickly, all sleepy and a little sweaty from being covered in the sheets
if the walls were thin enough maybe your neighbours would think something entirely different was happening??
anyway you tell him what you made !! and he’s staring at you like HOLY FUJCK THIS IS MY GIRL???
lets not forget he gets another rendition of cantonese happy birthday while he eats his longevity noodles
he is absolutely loving this - not just because lowkey you’re a good cook, that 包子 recipe was a godsend???
but because you’ve fully incorporated his culture and traditions in this for him
suddenly he doesn’t regret letting you cook for him for once
after breakfast he video called his family and sorry besties but our cantonese isn’t that good - at least you could understand them saying happy birthday!
so you wash up all the dishes and shit you created in your hard efforts to impress your chinese boyfriend
and listen to the very confusing language he’s speaking in the background
a lot of the day you two spent on the couch listening to his favourite chinese songs while he shows you baby photos which is something you didn’t know you needed until today
you also spend a lot of time receiving video calls from the rest of seventeen because they understand that it is taboo in chinese culture to wish a birthday belatedly
jun lets you bundle you both up in soft blankets even though its june and its lowkey getting hot in south korea
he puts on a chinese drama he thinks you’ll really enjoy just from seeing what korean dramas you watch - of course he puts subtitles on for you even if he didn’t need them
you could do this on any other day of the year - except your birthday or christmas - and it wouldn’t feel the same as this day
something about him spending his birthday away from home with the person who truly is closest to him
the two of you are so in sync and bonded together its unbelievable
not to mention carats adore you!! they think you’re just as funky as your boyfriend can be sometimes
if you’re caught in public with svt, fans usually catch you and jun both mocking the members quietly in the background
every time he kisses you on his birthday he mentally thanks whatever higher deity thats up there for your existence in his life
you truly do mean everything to him
for dinner you didn’t whip out your trusty google - you decided to do a recipe he had personally taught you, with added extras!
so you prepared 蛋 (dàn) and of course the dyed the eggs red!
just like the fact you’d been wearing a red scrunchie in your hair all day and a cardigan jun had brought you from china that was cream with red patterns on it
i don’t know how many times i can tell you that jun is very whipped for you, sincerely
he listens as you hum to the music he’s put back on after the chinese drama
he listens when you excitedly give your rating to the drama, exclaiming about how much you loved it - especially the soundtrack
and he’s especially whipped for you when he sees you remembered the dish he taught you how to make
you may see yourself as inferior in the relationship due to just being an average person compared to a literal celebrity
but junhui very much worships the ground you walk on like you’re a deity, and that will never change

I finally finished reading the fourth volume of svsss in full, and thing is--the first time through I only read the bingqiu content because I was ravenous for more of their happy ending.
Turns out that was a perilous mistake.
Because I started reading the airplane extras. And I swear to god. MXTX is trying to kill me
What do you MEAN demon lord Binghe was sitting on his big fucking throne. All stoic and forbidding. Surrounded by his demon generals who don't know shit about human courtship. Asking them what he should do, fully demoralized by constant rejections from sqq, only to have airplane tell him to act more pathetic and needy. Which is already hysterically funny and insane, UNTIL LBH'S RESPONSE IS THIS, KILLING ME INSTANTLY:
LUO BINGHE. WHY DOES HE SAY IT LIKE: "I already tried that, didn't work--nothing works :/ not mean, not maidenly, not housewife, not spicy, not capable disciple. Is doubling down on clingy really all it will take? What's a born hater with only one love in his life to do????"
The dichotomy of him sitting there like 'how can I reach the unfathomable depths of shizun's heart?' A HEART HE'S ALREADY WON OVER, MIND and then in the Holy Mausoleum solving the puzzle without blinking and being like 'oh yeah you just have to hit the acupoints, no sweat.' Literally the comedy writes itself I'm so--
How am I supposed to be normal about this. MXTX understands the juicy quintessential queer joy of a person with the world's power at their fingertips wishing only for love. Willing to do anything to earn that love, when unbeknownst to them it's already been freely given. Totally not screaming and yelling and clawing at the walls
And that's not even touching airplane's uproarious account of events. The way he's like 'lol what's next, lbh and sqq are best friends now? smfh' only to see lbh TACKLE SQQ LOVINGLY. FOR SQQ TO BE BASHFUL ABOUT IT BUT SO SO FOND OF THE LITTLE SCAMP. This when we've been experiencing sqq's constant inner monologue of 'I'm so cool and so dignified about my role, truly the epitome of propriety and poser-level fortitude.' Meanwhile, in their universe:
Airplane constantly flaming???? Sqq and lbh in his observations????? His absolute bewilderment and confusion????? Legendary. No notes every single second of this shit was hilarious.
Airplane's comment that sqq + older adolescent lbh traveling together was just watching a couple in their honeymoon phase. OR the fact that lbh is exceedingly petty and refuses to share their food in the wake of airplane's interruption of their time together, until sqq relents sheepishly and insists airplane eat what's left (ONLY AFTER PLACATING LBH WITH MORE FOOD FROM HIS PLATE, SOBBING)
Watching airplane salivate over Mobei-Jun and acting like that's totally normal behavior. Finding out mbj and airplane got together first. Finding out sqq encouraged airplane. LIKE THIS. WHILE HE IS STILL IN DENIAL ABOUT HIS OWN FEELINGS:
Mobei-jun clearly thinking their arrangement is a forever thing, heartbroken his human abandoned him with all the hapless fury of a scorned wife swept away by false promises of fidelity. Airplane writing demons to be the type to beat up their crush lovingly and still unable to connect the dots about mbj's feelings. Mbj letting him go and respecting his wishes, only relenting when there's indication airplane was poorly processing his own feelings and didn't actually want to leave. Mbj caring for him and listening to him as soon as airplane voices what he needs directly and with clarity. None of these gays are functional and it's everything to me
Unrelated, but I physically can't hold this information in anymore:
I'm still reeling from younger lbh having his sexual awakening from the image of sqq wrapped in the immortal binding cables. Condemn me as you like he was so, so real for that.
And no I will not be taking any comments about how luo bingge couldn't bear to see luo binghe cherished in ways he never got to have and all the haunting implications of that. I will also not be taking any comments about luo binghe's instinct to look for sqq in that alternate universe, only to be shaken to the very core to be unable to find his shizun anywhere. The unspeakable and latent horror of his relentless mind likely piecing together what happened, but unable to say it; to suspect what is true, and live with the harrowing confusion of his double's actions. To blame himself, to assume that he had let his anger get the better of him in that world and result in unspeakable folly...
I also refuse to talk about how heartrending it is to hear Tianlang-jun weakly say "In the end, I really can't bring myself to hate humans." The implication that the foolishness of that hope and bright-eyed fondness--the very thing that put him through such unspeakable agony--couldn't be beaten out of him entirely. To discover that his faith in Su Xiyan hadn't been misplaced, to the contrary: his beloved hadn't scorned him at all, but rather fought to the miserable end to protect the fruition of their genuine feelings of love when she couldn't protect tlj or herself.
How MXTX has sqq deliberately draw parallels between their situation and that of ygy+sj and tlj+sx; desperately wishing it might not be too late for them. The concept of breaking cycles of abuse and harm pervasive throughout the newly devised story, how it evolves for the better only when love takes the place of power, pride, and domination. How the moment sqq chooses vulnerability instead of saving face, the genre shifts to the so-called "cringe" girly genre where most if not every character is more fulfilled, more true to themselves. How the "male-oriented" former genre was aimlessly sensationalized and sexualized, how it was a sustained performance of aspirational toxic masculinity. How men objectify other men without end. All of the unspoken gendered implications that come with that.
Anyways. Going to go put my head in a sandbox and try to process everything I just witnessed because even a second reading is not enough to find a modicum of closure.
