When they discover their s/o is a writer

Suho:

I think Junmyeon would be hella impressed.  You are a thinker and he really appreciates someone who has their own opinions and thoughts about things in life.  I don’t think it would matter much what subject or type of writing you do, he’s going to find it interesting.  But for reaction's sake, we’ll go with mystery.  I think Junmyeon is the type to really like having something that challenges him mentally and trying to figure out who stole the painting or who killed who would be right up his alley.  Honestly, he wouldn’t so much pick your brain because he wants you to tell him who the killer or thief is, but more so he can hear all his thoughts out loud.  He’s not looking for affirmation, he’s organizing his clues.  Is it weird that I see him having a small journal that he dedicated to the mysteries of your books/series?  Like he just jots down his thoughts and his predictions and sees if he’s right by the end.  He’ll have it organized first by setting and then by character and then by major events.  He’ll lay out all his growing evidence.  He’ll cross off people who are innocent and make stars and/or notes next to those he still suspects.  It doesn’t matter where he is, if he thinks he’s figured out the mystery Junmyeon will call you or text you or facetime/skype you excitedly.  Junmyeon appreciates creativity, so a writer s/o would be perfect.  “Jagi! I know who did it!”  “Oh?”  “Yeah!! I’m sure of it!”  “You said that last week XD” “But I’m right this time!!! I know it!”

Baekhyun:

Look I’m not saying Baekhyun would be totally into horror, suspense thrillers, but that’s exactly what I’m saying.  This guy would be all over that ish!  Honestly, he’d be so surprised at first.  You?  A horror suspense writer?  His jagi?  Excited would be an understatement.  He’ll want copies of all your past to present work!  NOW!  He has to dig in and devour the eerie scenes, the heart-pounding suspense!  The faster his pulse is, the better.  He also thinks it’s pretty sexy that you have a dark side.  Honestly, he’ll want to explore the different characters, the way you developed them, why they are the way they are, who (if anyone) they’re based on, etc.  I feel like Baekhyun takes his reading very seriously.  I think he’d also be into writing back and forth with you, too.  Like not in a ‘let’s publish this’ sort of way, but like you have created characters together, formed a whole world, and are just writing fun little short stories for the fun of it.  I think this would excite him because he’d feel like he was exercising his mind and being creative, something that he really cherishes.  However, if you are anything like me and you have zero problem with killing off main characters for story development, be prepared for a long whining session as to why this is the worst thing you could have done because ‘johnny deserved better’.  Being a writer with Baekhyun would only spice up your relationship, to be honest.  “Jagi!  The new chapter was amazing!!”  “You think so?” *eagerly nods* “I still think you should have just killed Joan off, but Henry was a good choice, too.  He was whiney.”  *cue laughter* “That’s not why I killed him!”  “WELL, IT SHOULD BE!”

Chanyeol:

Literally your biggest fanboy!  He thinks you being a writer is fantastic!  It wouldn’t even matter what kind of writer you are, he’ll want to read everything you have.  In a way it makes him feel closer to you.  He feels like by reading your work, he’s somehow getting a deeper insight into you as a person.  If you’re struggling with a chapter or a certain scene he’ll want you to use him as a pinboard, bouncing idea after idea off of him until something blossoms.  Chanyeol understands better than most that while writing the proper inspiration has to manifest and that is something that can be elusive at times.  Honestly, I see him being the type to beg you to either write him something he can take with him on tour or send him the new pages of whatever chapter you’re.  Again, it probably makes him feel close to you, but imagine the discussions that would come out of this!!  He’ll talk to you endlessly about different scenarios and characters.  Especially the bad guys cuz jeez why do they have to be so mean.  ‘MC is just living his life, Jagi!  Why is BG so rude!  It’s just not fair!’  Honestly, if you’re anything like me and you suddenly get awesome ideas for later parts or even just brand new material ideas and you stop dead in your tracks to record your fantastic idea in your phone, Chanyeol is going to fanboy hard because he thinks that so cute.  You’re halfway through a conversation while walking Tobin and BAM!  Inspiration!  He thinks you’re so cute!  He’ll want to know what your idea was so he can help flesh out the details.  No idea is a bad idea.  Just one that needs a little more love.   “Omo!  Jagi~~why did you do that to poor main character!!!  My heart! How could you?!”  “Chanyeol-ah, all he did was trip…”  “But he broke his arm!!!!!!”  “That happens sometimes, darling…”  

D.O:

As we all know, Kyungsoo is the quieter one of the group.  I think he really would enjoy a writer as a partner.  He strikes me as someone who likes to read.  Cliche, I know, but imagine if you were a food critic and/or blogger and most of your work is centered around food.  We all know this guy loves to cook and bake, so this would just be a new perspective on something he already enjoys.  Omg!! Think about it!  He would totally take you to all sorts of restaurants, large or hole in the wall just so the two of you can critique the food that you both eat.  If he’s on tour, I can totally see him running into a good eatery and wanting to share it with you, so if he can’t send you a bite, he’ll kindly ask the chef for the recipe so he could make it for you.  SO CUTE!!!  That and I can see him eating something and be totally disappointed because “it was headed in the right direction, but it’s missing something” and going home to cook the same dish just so he could figure out what the missing piece was.  It would be extremely cute if you created a piece just around him  Something like “My Boyfriend’s Kitchen” or something.  Can you imagine if he proposed to you??  You would have to change that to “My Fiance’s Kitchen”  OH THE SCANDAL!!! ;)  “Kyungie, it’s really not that big of a deal.”  *adamantly shakes his head* “No that dinner was awful.  I can’t have that be your birthday dinner.  I knew I should have just done it myself!”  (plz love and cherish this nugget.  Plz).

Kai:

I don’t know how much he reads, to be honest.  I feel like he doesn’t mind reading a good book, but he’s a bit picky on his choices.  An image that really stands out to me is romance.  I feel like it would be his guilty pleasure.  He really likes romance and love stories, but like not those icky raunchy stories!  ‘It has to be a real love story, not a porno.’  Don’t ask me why I think this.  I just do.  So say as a writer you like to indulge in romantic comedy.  It’s not my favorite, personally, but there are a few out there that are just adorable, it’s hard NOT to like them.  I feel like for Jongin this would be about the same.  Even so, I still feel like he doesn’t read a whole lot.  Not because he’s not interested, but because he’s so busy dancing and doing other things.  So, if you were to read some of your work to him, say while the two of you lounge around on a day off, he would be putty in your hands.  He’d be so engrossed in the world and love story you created that he’d be almost sad when you’re forced to stop either by schedules or just some good ‘ole sleep.  If he’s away on tour, he’ll facetime/skype you so you can read to him until he falls asleep.  If you were to pre-record yourself reading the next part he’d be over the moon!  Not only does he get to hear what happens next, but now he has your voice at his fingertips.  Honestly, I don’t think you’d really understand how comforting that is for him.  “Jagiyah, they get together in the end, right?  That’s how it ends?” *looks up at you with those wide eyes*  “You’ll have to wait and see” *BOOP HIS NOSE IT’S RIGHT THERE!!!* *ahem* “Aigo, but it’s so tense right now!” (cue whine and a tiny pout.  Look I don’t bias him but he’s been adopted as my bro, okay?  I love this kid!)

Sehun:

Surprisingly, I think Sehun would really appreciate some well written, beautiful poetry.  I don’t know why I thought of this, but it kinda makes sense in my mind.  Like Jongin, it’s kind of his guilty pleasure.  I mean how cute would it be if he was originally your fanboy and he just messaged you out of the blue about one of your prose.  It could be because it’s so beautiful and heartfelt, or it could be because he wanted to discuss the deeper meanings of the words. Even just because he’s confused or curious about a certain part.  Either way, the rest is history.  Sehun loves to read your poetry, but he also LOVES to listen to you recite it.  There’s something about the way your voice wraps passionately around the words that he finds so endearing.  Honestly, he could fall asleep to your gentle voice (and maybe some hair petting).  I also think that Sehun would entertain the idea of dabbling in poetry himself, though he would be really shy about it.  How cute would that be?? The two of you exchanging poetry like some old sappy romance movie. *dies of cuteness overload*  “Omg! Sehun-ah, this is amazing!!”  *blushes and looks sheepish*  “It’s alright…” “It’s more than alright!  This is beautiful!  You did such an amazing job--,” *he’ll blush like a schoolboy the whole time you compliment all the different wonderful aspects of his work*
