Author's Note: So I've actually been working on this one for quite a while. But writer's block kept getting in the way. I apologize in advance because these are kinda short. Also, I know some people may not be comfortable with this topic, and I'm certainly not entirely either (kinda silly Ik). I just thought it could bring comfort to us girls out there? Anyway, thank you for reading 😊

MARK
In the early stages of your relationship, when situations like this arose, Mark used to feel a bit uncertain about what he should do. But he was so patient and attentive with you. If you texted him not to come over because you were on your period, he would likely disregard it and come over anyway.
He'd ask if you needed anything and get it for you right away. Furthermore, he'd readily give you cuddles upon your request. Mark sort of viewed this as an opportunity to have a lazy day with you and unwind. You'd be resting your head on his lap while he talked about work or his members.
"Then Johnny Hyung said we should try this and I was like 'huh?'" Your boyfriend chatted animatedly.
While some might have found this incessant talking bothersome, you found it quite endearing. Mark's enthusiastic storytelling served as a pleasant diversion, and you appreciated his openness about his life updates.
Consequently, every time the week of your menstrual cycle rolled around, you and Mark would embrace it as an opportunity to rejuvenate and relish some valuable moments together.

RENJUN
Renjun would probably do some research on periods. Like what might help with cramps and how to handle various PMS symptoms. Although you were perfectly capable of managing these aspects on your own, as your boyfriend, he wanted to contribute in any way possible.
To your surprise, Renjun presented you with a comprehensive list of his findings. He'd brew a soothing cup of tea for you and offer herbal medicine. He even went the extra mile to identify the best pads for your comfort. Additionally, he downloaded the same period tracking app onto his phone to stay informed in advance. His dedication left you feeling like he was acting as your caretaker, surpassing all expectations.
You blinked a few times, overwhelmed when he started to do all this. "Renjun—I really don't think all this is necessary."
"It's important to take care of your body, (Y/n)-ah," He gently chided.
His affectionate words would elicit a smile from you, filling you with gratitude for having such a considerate and caring boyfriend.

JENO
Your period always came with bad timing. As you were diligently working on a presentation, another cramp shot through your abdomen. Inhaling deeply, you balled your fingers into fists and pressed them against your palms.
Not even a minute passed before you looked up to catch your boyfriend shaking his head disapprovingly. Whenever he noticed you neglecting self-care, he took swift action. Without uttering a word, Jeno scooped you up into his arms and carried you with bridal elegance to his bedroom.
"Jeno-ssi, I'm fine!" You insisted. "It's not like I'm sick or anything."
Yet, escaping his grasp proved futile. Your objections gradually faded as he gently laid you on his bed.
"We're going to rest here," He declared, settling beside you. "And you're not going to think about school."
A resigned sigh slipped past your lips, fully aware that there was no point in fighting him on this. Jeno knew how you hated to leave things like work off to the side. But he just couldn't stand to watch you in pain.
"I think you're just using my period as an excuse to cuddle," You mumbled with a slight pout.
"Maybe a little?"
Your boyfriend's nose nestled into the crook of your neck. His sturdy arms enveloped your waist securely, while one hand tenderly massaged your lower abdomen, where the cramps were bothering you.
Gradually, discomfort and concerns retreated to the background. Ironically, Jeno grew even more affectionate during your period. But you really couldn't complain.

HAECHAN
Initially, the experience was a little weird for Haechan. He felt sort of bad that you had to go through this monthly ordeal, and he couldn't really do anything about it. Luckily, you managed to maintain a relatively steady demeanor during your period, which alleviated some of his concerns. While the occasional cramps were bothersome, your overall mood didn't undergo drastic changes, at least not visibly.
During these times, you found yourself grappling with intense emotional surges that deviated from your usual disposition. They were something you couldn't exactly control and you hated it. Because of that, you tried to stay away from Haechan and deal with things on your own.
Eventually, Haechan would catch on to this and convince you to open up to him. You told him about your tendency to internalize your emotions, which made him feel terrible. While he was an expressive person, you struggled to share how you felt. But once he was more aware, the signs became a lot clearer and he knew what to look out for.
"You know I'm always here for you, Jagiya," He'd often remind you. You would be sitting at the end of the sofa together, as he spoke softly. "You can cry if you want to, or yell if you're upset about something. You don't have to hold it all in when you're with me."
Hearing him say this would make you feel so grateful. He was quick to gently wipe the first tear that fell. "I don't want to be a burden to you," You admitted.
He would let out a sad chuckle in response. "Believe me babe when I say that you're never a burden to me."
Haechan's embrace tightened around you, enveloping you in a reassuring warmth. "You love me at my worst, and I'll do the same for you."
You seriously could not ask for a sweeter boyfriend than Lee Donghyuck.

JAEMIN
You were coming back to the Dream dorm after a lunch date with Jaemin. As you both entered and removed your shoes, a soft gasp escaped your lips. He was about to ask if you were okay before you quickly excused yourself to the bathroom.
Even though you didn't say anything, he picked up on the situation pretty fast. Being the thoughtful boyfriend he was, Jaemin had become a total pro when your time of the month came. While you rarely complained much about such times, he still took it upon himself to pamper and care for you during this phase.
You shyly walked out of the bathroom, embarrassed by your current predicament. However, any trace of self-consciousness dissipated as you re-entered the living room. Before you, Jaemin had gathered an array of items - his hoodie, a cozy blanket, and a selection of chocolate he discovered in the pantry. Most notably, he sat on the couch, donning the most endearing smile.
You almost wanted to cry with how considerate your boyfriend was. Coming over to sit by him on the couch, you couldn't help but pout a little.
"You didn't have to go through all this trouble for me."
"I wanted to though," He responded simply. "Just let me spoil you, Princess."
Exhaustion outweighed any inclination to argue, prompting you to let Jaemin draw you into his embrace. Truthfully, his cuddles proved exceptionally soothing during times like these. In moments such as this, you couldn't help but think that if more guys were as caring as Jaemin, the world would indeed be a much kinder place.

CHENLE
Perhaps it was the stigma of when a girl was on her time of the month or the culture you grew up in. But you always felt strangely self-conscious about your period. You were also not used to having a boyfriend, making you especially shy and awkward about this. So you unintentionally avoided the topic with Chenle.
Then came that particular night when you and Chenle were having a sleepover at the Dream dorm. The hour was late, yet everyone remained awake and engaged. As you yawned, your gaze fixed on Chenle triumphing over Jisung in a video game.
Somewhere in the middle of the game, your eyes widened when you felt a familiar sensation that caused a surge of panic to shoot through you. Immediately recognizing that your period had begun, you had to stifle a gasp with your hand. Despite your efforts, Chenle detected your startled expression.
"What's the matter?" He asked, concern evident in his voice.
Jisung leaned forward as well. "Yeah, are you okay?"
Your cheeks heated up at their questions, unsure of what to do in this situation. The worst part was that you didn't have any pads on you.
"Um—it's nothing. I just need to use the bathroom," You managed to reply, rising from your seat.
Tentatively, you glanced at the spot where you had been sitting, relieved to find no evidence of a red stain.
Despite your attempt to downplay the situation, Chenle wasn't oblivious. When you failed to reemerge from the bathroom promptly, he abandoned the game and went to check on you. That's when he encountered you by the front door, in the process of putting on your shoes. You hoped to slip out unnoticed and buy the feminine products you required from a nearby store.
"(Y/n), why are you leaving?" His brows knit in confusion. "Did something happen?"
Cursing inwardly, you turned to face him. "No, I just left something at home. I'll grab it and come back."
"What's at home that we don't have here?" Sighing, you realized that you didn't have much of a choice but to tell Chenle the truth before he misunderstood something.
Reluctantly, you explained to Chenle that you had gotten your period and needed to buy pads. To your surprise, he was pretty chill about the situation.
"That's it?" He remarked. "Why didn't you just tell me?"
You shrugged, "I was embarrassed."
Chenle shook his head and hugged you before offering to go to the store to get pads for you. You argued against it but he insisted. Most likely, you would have to text him the right ones to buy. When he got back, he let you borrow his clothes to change into.
From that point on, Chenle made sure to make it clear to you that you didn't need to be afraid of coming to him about those things. Yeah, he was young and could be childish at times, but he didn't want you to feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. Of course, you were grateful for how understanding he was.

JISUNG
Similar to Mark, Jisung would be kinda clueless whenever you were on your period. You would be lying down on the couch, letting out slow breaths as you waited for your cramps to subside and return. The poor boy would just be watching you and have no idea what to do. So he would be checking to make sure you were okay every ten seconds.
"Does it hurt a lot?"
"Are you hungry?"
"Do you want a blanket?"
"Jisung just shut up," You would say with your right arm covering your eyes.
You loved Jisung and appreciated his efforts. But right now you were highly annoyed and he was not helping.
"Oh, okay," He would say quietly. But when he made a move to leave, you grabbed his hand and pulled him down so he was lying next to you in a face-to-face position.
"I'll be fine," You told him. "Just lay here with me, for a little bit."
Happy to do something, he let your arms wrap around his torso and guided your head to rest on his chest. Jisung smiled lightly and brushed a strand of hair away from your forehead.
Though he'd never admit it out loud, Jisung loved having you in his arms like this. It didn't happen often when you sought his affection, and he felt oddly protective over you. The two of you would happily stay in this position for the remainder of the day, probably falling asleep at some point.
