Author's Note: I feel like it's been so long since I wrote a Dream reaction. The following scenario was a request. To be honest, I was a bit hesitant about doing it because I know this concept isn't that popular today. However, it is a personal value I hold, and I'm not trying to impose it on those who have different opinions. But it is something I've always secretly wanted to write about. So here you go, I hope you like it ^ ^

mark
After being under the weather for weeks now, Mark thought it was time to get you checked up. That was how you found yourself sitting in a pristine white room on a Monday morning. You scanned the room anxiously, nervously drumming your fingers against the chair's armrest. However, the nerves you were feeling calmed down a little when Mark placed his hand on top of yours.
Finally the door creaked open, and the doctor exchanged polite greetings with the two of you. Taking a seat at her computer, the doctor ran through the customary procedure of inquiring about your symptoms and any recent changes in lifestyle.
"Have you two been sexually active recently?" the doctor asked, causing a slight shift in the atmosphere.
Heat instantly rose to your cheeks as you turned to your boyfriend with a surprised glance.
"Oh—no, we haven't even..." Your voice trailed off, almost as if you were too flustered to finish your sentence.
The doctor nodded understandingly and moved on to the next question. Once the check-up was finished, she just advised you to get some more rest and take some time off work to recover.
Back in the car, you and Mark burst into awkward laughter, finding humor in the unexpected nature of that encounter.
"I was so embarrassed," you cried, covering your face, "I thought I was going to die back there."
Mark laughed along, "Yeah me too. I don't know why I was so surprised when she asked us that."
A brief silence hung in the air as Mark steadied his hand on the wheel, and you gazed out of the car window. Although you believed you handled the situation reasonably, some more serious thoughts lingered in your mind. Even though it's only been a few months since you two started dating, the doctor's question made you realize that you hadn't discussed the subject before.
"Speaking of though," you said, broaching the topic cautiously. "I actually want to save sex for marriage."
You were already bracing yourself for a negative reaction when Mark didn't respond right away. But then he shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Okay."
"Really?" You stared at him wide-eyed. "You're okay with it?"
Mark nodded thoughtfully, "I mean, I can't say it's going to be easy. But if waiting is important to you, then it's important to me too."
A wave of relief washed over you, comforted now that this conversation went a lot smoother than you had anticipated.
"Thank you, I really appreciate that," you said, a smile lighting up your face.
Mark reached over to squeeze your hand. "No problem, babe."
In his mind, it really wasn't a big deal. He definitely planned on marrying you someday, so he saw it as something to look forward to in your future together.

renjun
He was the only one to actually bring up the subject first. Although it wasn't something he had greatly dwelled on beforehand. After being together for a few months, your relationship had proven to be relatively stable. However when it came to physical intimacy, the two of you never progressed beyond making out. While Renjun wasn't particularly bothered by it, a sense of curiosity lingered in his thoughts.
One evening as you both walked back to your place after a date, he decided to bring it up. "(Y/n), can I ask you something?" he asked, breaking the comfortable silence.
Curious as to what this was about, you nodded. "Sure. What is it?"
"I just...I was wondering when we're going to have sex?" He scratched his head, as the words awkwardly tumbled from his lips. You observed his cheeks turn a light shade of pink, and you could also feel your own face warming up coincidentally.
You knew this conversation was inevitable, and you've spent a decent amount of time preparing what you would say if it came up. Despite the mental preparation, you were a little wary of what Renjun's response might be.
"I'm glad you brought that up," you said, attempting to mask the nervousness in your tone. "The thing is, I want to wait until marriage for sex. I hope that's okay with you."
To your surprise, his response came quickly as he nodded in understanding. "That's no problem for me. I'm happy to wait for you," he assured.
"I know people might think we're crazy," you continued with a sense of unease in your voice.
Before you could finish your thought, Renjun stopped walking to cup your face with his hands. "I don't care what people think. Our connection and the boundaries we set are more important than anyone else's opinions," he said assertively. "I respect your decision, and I'm here with you no matter what."
As his words sank in, a grateful smile formed on your lips. Sighing, you leaned in to place a sweet peck on his lips.
"What did I ever do to deserve you?"
Renjun chuckled and affectionately patted your head. "Cutie."
His hands intertwined once more, and the two of you resumed walking back to your apartment. The both of you felt a lot better now that the topic had been addressed.

jeno
The evening started out normal, really. You were having a movie date in his apartment, which was a regular occurrence for homebodies like yourselves. Yet, an almost suffocating tension lingered in the air, subtly bringing the two of you closer.
Before you could blink, blankets were tossed aside and you found yourself lying on your back as Jeno's lips devoured yours in a series of passionate kisses. His hands found their way to your waist, and yours wrapped around his neck, drawing him nearer. The room was filled with a soft hum of your chemistry, creating a moment that seemed to make time freeze.
Your conscience started to come back as you felt Jeno's hands begin to roam your body. Although a part of you didn't want to stop, you placed a hand on your boyfriend's chest and gently pulled away. Jeno glanced at you with a puzzled expression.
Sighing, you sat up. "I'm sorry...it's just...there's something I think we should talk about."
You hated seeing Jeno's face flicker with confusion. But he nodded for you to continue.
"If...if it's okay with you, I want to wait until we're married to have sex," you admitted, your gaze unwavering.
Jeno's eyebrows furrowed in surprise, and it took a bit to process your words before responding. "Oh, okay," he said in an understanding tone.
You looked at him, searching for any sign of disappointment or frustration. "You're not upset about it?"
Jeno shook his head, as if it were obvious. "There's no rush, baby. And I would never want to pressure you into doing something you're not comfortable with."
"Thank you for understanding," you expressed, eyes softening with gratitude. You had expected a different reaction from him, fearing that he might feel restricted. But his kind words put you at ease.
Jeno returned your smile, brushing a strand of hair away from your face. "But we can still make out, right?"
The mischievous sparkle in his eyes made you laugh. "Of course we can," you chuckled, pulling him down with you.
That was all Jeno needed to hear before his lips were on yours again. The chemistry from before was quickly reignited, and the two of you savored the intimacy of the moment.

haechan
The two of you were just cuddling in his bedroom, after he had convinced you to take a break from studying. Nestled comfortably in his arms, he traced lazy circles on your back, creating a soothing rhythm to accompany the moment. You snuggled against him happily, enjoying this peaceful moment with your boyfriend.
"(Y/n)," he spoke suddenly, breaking the comfortable silence.
You glanced up in response. "Hm?"
He stared at you momentarily, tenderly brushing a lock of hair behind your ear. You were curious as to what he had to say, you found it hard to read his expression.
"Have you ever thought about...you know, when you want to have sex?" he asked, deciding it was best to just be straightforward.
Your cheeks flushed slightly, caught off guard by his question. "Um...well I think I want to wait until marriage," you admitted.
Biting your lip, you searched Haechan's expression. The corner of his lips curled into a teasing smile. "In that case, will you, (L/n) (Y/n), marry me?" he asked dramatically.
"Lee Haechan, don't joke about that," you scolded, smacking him on the shoulder. The boy laughed, and pulled you closer to him.
"Okay, okay I'm sorry," he apologized, giving you a quick kiss on your forehead. "We'll take things at your pace, baby. You don't need to worry."
You murmured a thank you, relaxing into his arms once more. As playful as Haechan was, you were grateful for his understanding. There really wasn't much to worry about when you were with him.

jaemin
The gentle glow of the candles sitting on the coffee table created a warm and inviting atmosphere in Jaemin's living room. You sat snugly on the couch with his cats, waiting for your boyfriend to come back from the kitchen. Although you appeared calm on the outside, as you ran your fingers through Luna's soft white fur, your mind buzzed with anxious thoughts. You wanted to have a serious conversation with him tonight, but you were a bit apprehensive about it.
Your heart began to race as Jaemin reentered the room, carrying two steaming mugs of hot chocolate. It only took a single glance for him to detect your unease. Placing the cups on the coffee table, he took your hand in his and offered a comforting smile.
"Is there something on your mind, love?" he asked with such tenderness that it almost made you feel guilty.
Exhaling briefly, you tried to return his smile. "Yeah, there's actually something I've been wanting to talk to you about."
Jaemin's eyes filled with a mix of curiosity and concern. "I'm listening," he replied, reaching over to gently scratch under Luna's chin.
You took another deep breath, gathering your thoughts. "It's just that we've been together for quite some time now, and I know you've probably thought about this. But I want to share with you that I'd like for us to save sex for marriage."
There was a brief moment of silence as Jaemin absorbed your words. Afraid of a negative reaction, you started to back yourself up.
"It's just that I've never done it before, and waiting until I'm married has always been important to me," you continued, going on a slight tangent. "It has nothing to do with you or an attempt to restrict you."
The warm smile Jaemin gave you felt like a game changer. He lightly squeezed your hand, his eyes reflecting nothing but understanding. "You don't have to worry, Princess. I understand completely, and I agree it's best to wait too."
Instantly relief began to wash over you. "Really?"
"Absolutely," he nodded, his smile unwavering. "I want our first time to be something we both cherish. And when we're both ready to take that step, I promise it will be a special moment for both of us."
His eyes gleamed with a sincerity that made you want to burst into tears. Suddenly, you questioned why you were so nervous in the first place. Every action of Jaemin's was out of love and kindness from the depths of his heart.
"You're so sweet," you murmured, cupping his face with your hands. "I wish all men could be as understanding and caring as you."
Jaemin's gaze softened more, and he leaned in to leave a lingering kiss on your lips. "You give me too much credit, princess. As your boyfriend, it's my job to ensure you always feel respected and loved."
"Stop it, you're going to make me cry," you exclaimed, using your hand to fan your eyes.
He chuckled in response and pulled you closer to cuddle. As you remained in his embrace with his cats nestled around you, you realized how lucky you were to have Jaemin by your side.

chenle
You had been avoiding the subject for as long as possible, mostly because it was a little awkward for you. This was your first serious relationship, and you were sure Chenle's thought about it before. But he was waiting for you to say something first.
Then came an evening where the two of you were watching a movie at his place. You didn't exactly plan on talking to him about it that day. It kind of just slipped out.
Neither of you had a specific preference for what to watch, so Chenle randomly selected something on Netflix. However, halfway into the film, a provocative scene began to unfold. A knot tightened in your stomach, and within five seconds, you averted your gaze. Chenle chuckled nervously beside you, wisely opting to change the movie.
Even though something new was being played on the screen, you found yourself making occasional sideway glances toward Chenle. The realization struck that you had been putting off this topic for so long, and the nagging feeling inside you knew it would keep bothering you if you didn't address it now.
Before your nerves could get the better of you, a heavy exhale escaped you. "Chenle, there's something I want to talk about."
His eyebrows raised slightly in concern, sensing the apprehensiveness in your voice. "What's up?" he asked.
The movie's ambiance served as a backdrop to your hesitancy. But determined not to chicken out, you closed your eyes and blurted out, "I want to wait until marriage for sex!"
You opened your eyes to see Chenle's face swiftly transition from a surprised expression to a more composed one. For some reason he thought you were going to break up with him or something. So when he processed your words, in his head he was like "oh, that was it?"
"Okay, that's cool," he said, figuring that was all and leaned back on the couch.
His nonchalant response left you looking at him in disbelief. "You're not upset at all?"
"No, why would I be?" he chuckled, playfully nudging you. "Sex isn't everything. If waiting until marriage is important to you, then I'm on board with that."
The way his eyes reflected genuine sincerity, gave you more reassurance. "Gosh, you have no idea how happy it makes me to hear you say that," you exhaled.
He grinned, wrapping his arms around your shoulders. He couldn't resist teasing you a little.
"Well what can I say? You're dating a great man."
You rolled your eyes, earning a laugh from him as he pulled you closer. Secretly, you had to agree that Zhong Chenle was indeed a great man.

jisung
It really wasn't a big deal to him. But he did think about it from time to time. The both of you were somewhat new to being in a relationship. However, after being together for a few months, Jisung thought the two of you should've had sex by now.
He was almost afraid to ask, because the two of you had never directly discussed sex before. But the desire to know your thoughts was becoming overwhelming, and Jisung knew that he'd explode if he didn't bring up the subject.
As you lounged together in your living room, Jisung absentmindedly fiddled with the drawstrings of his hoodie. Occasionally he stole glances at you, who was scrolling through social media posts on your phone. He almost choked when you said something.
"Is there something on your mind, Jisungie?" you asked, without even looking up from your phone. It was as if you could sense he had something to say, solely by his body language. You had to hold back from smiling in amusement as his eyes widened in surprise.
The boy beside you laughed nervously as he sat up a bit straighter. "I—um want to talk about us. You know in terms of..."
"Sex?" you finished his sentence, throwing him off even more.
Jisung looked at you with a perplexed expression. "Are you a magician? How did you know that was what I wanted to talk about?"
"I don't know, lucky guess?" you chuckled, casting your phone aside. "It's also something I've been wanting to talk to you about too."
"Really?!"
You nodded, flattening your hands across the blanket on your lap. "I know we've never discussed it before, but I think it's best to be transparent with you. Is that okay?"
"Of course," Jisung answered right away. "I want you to be honest with me, Jagi."
Lowering your gaze, you took a deep breath before confessing, "Well, um—I want to wait until marriage for, you know, sex."
It took a moment for you to gather the courage to look at Jisung again. When you did, you were met with an almost relieved expression.
"You know what? I think that's a great idea," Jisung said, assuringly. "We can just take our time, with no rush."
You smiled in response, "I'm glad we're on the same page then."
Jisung's shoulders visibly relaxed and he sank back into the couch. "Ugh, I feel so much better now that we've talked about it," he said, covering his eyes.
Shaking your head with a laugh, you observed the boy in amusement.
"You're such a dork," you murmured, snuggling against his hoodie. Jisung smiled and snaked his arm around to hug you.
Jisung was genuinely relieved that you were both honest about your feelings of intimacy. In fact, he felt like having this conversation brought you even closer. Although you were both young, he felt secure knowing your relationship was built on a sense of connection and trust.
