I've always thought about this, and thought about what other people would do......I assumed most would pick "dating/relationship" with their faves.
ME personally, I'd rather be friends with my faves.
Like to name just two, there's Jungwon from Enhypen and Xiaojun from Wayv.
As much as I'm attracted to them, I'd rather be their BestFriend or just a close person who they can hang out and talk to.
Cuz think about it, if you in a relationship with them, they can easily break up with you when they get bored of the relationship or want someone new etc.
But a friendship??? As long as yall fw each other with no real issues, that can last a long time, if not forever.
And you can always flirt with them and hang with them too, without anything being a burden.
This just my thought of it
