ATEEZ Honeymoon HCs

Summary: I wrote a few thousand words on what I thought a honeymoon would be like with each member of ATEEZ. I hope you all enjoy ✨

Many many thanks to @bfyunho for beta-ing and generally being my favorite person 💕

Warnings: fluff and smut. 18+ ONLY!

Seonghwa

Y’all already KNOW that a honeymoon with Seonghwa is just gonna be two weeks of him exercising his duality

Constant love-making? Absolutely. But also! Lots of interesting things to do and many opportunities to make memories

Where’s he gonna do that? A large resort suite all to yourselves in Mediterranean ItalyIt’s warm, sensual, fun, perfect--everything you ever wanted

Days spent wandering the town, swimming, finding museums and restaurants

Seonghwa insists on taking selfies at every single location--he wants to know every single one of these moments long after his memory has failed him

Sunbathing on a private sailboat on the Amalfi Coast, soaking in the vitamin D

The ship’s captain finds a beautiful, unoccupied spot in a shallow cove, and drops anchor

He then heads into the cabin of the boat to give you and your husband some privacy

Seonghwa sits on a lounge chair behind you, rubbing sunscreen on your shoulders

He’s letting his hands move just as slowly and sensually across your skin as he wants, taking his time in listening to your breath hitch in your throat

Eventually ducking his head down to press his lips to a spot on your neck he hasn’t covered yet, while his thumbs still rub circles on your shoulders

Giving all his attention to that one area, biting lightly then sucking the skin to soothe it

You lean your head back, giving him all the access he could want, and a soft sigh escapes your parted lips

His hair tickles your shoulder, but Seonghwa doesn’t linger long before he’s turning you to face him so he can kiss you properly

He’s got the ties of your swimsuit undone in seconds, and you throw your legs over Seonghwa’s hips as soon as it’s off

You grind yourself on him, abusing his swim shorts in your pursuit of a little friction

Hwa grips you by the waist, firmly but not enough to hurt. Just enough to get you close--enough to help you rise and fall on him

Something occurs to you, and you break the kiss to breathlessly murmur in his ear

“You need sunscreen, too. You’re gonna burn.”

Hwa chuckles, dangerously low, flashing his teeth as he reaches down with one hand and picks up the bottle he’d set on the deck

“My wife is so considerate,” he coos, handing it to you

You take it, rolling your eyes. But Seonghwa’s arms tighten around you once more, and you’re brought close to the tent in his shorts again

“Will you put some on me too, then?” He looks up at you with puppy dog eyes that are completely betrayed by his pupils, blown wide

You squeeze some of the lotion into your hands and let the bottle fall down as you spread it over his shoulders

You’re consumed by his kiss again, gripping his shoulders, arms, neck, wherever you can reach

His skin rubs slick against yours because of the sunscreen, and all you can taste is the salt on Seonghwa’s lips as he does away with his shorts and finally pushes into you

It doesn’t take more than ten minutes of soft moans, grinding, and his mouth against your neck for you to come, head thrown back and facing the sun

Your husband isn’t long after, burying his face in the crook of your shoulder as he loses himself in you

When you’ve come down from your high, Seonghwa stands slowly and pulls you with him

“Let’s go swimming.”

You spend the rest of the afternoon wading in the shallow waters of the cove, soaking in the sun and kicking up the white sand with your toes

When the sun starts to slide down the sky, setting everything aglow with orange and gold, Seonghwa stands behind you and holds his lips to the back of your head

His arms are around you, and your joined form sways gently with the waves until the sun falls away completely

When you get back to the resort, you both shower off and Seonghwa presents you with a beautiful dress to wear to dinner

He wines and dines you every single night, even making an effort to learn some Italian to more easily place your orders and interact with locals

And each night, he lifts his glass and toasts, “To you, Mrs. Park.”

Hongjoong

It took exactly zero convincing for you to get Hongjoong to agree to Paris

He loved the idea right away, because it’s a city known for its art and fashion

You reserve a penthouse room in the heart of Paris, with floor to ceiling windows and sheer white curtains

The two of you arrive in Paris decked out in the most impeccable airport fashion, ready to paint the city red

Unfortunately, the jet lag hits you both a little harder than expected

So you spend the rest of the first day sleeping and eating in bed, to the backdrop of sultry French soul music playing over the radio

The next morning, you wake up just as the sun is beginning to peek over the rooftops

It sends gold rays through the blue light of the morning

You slept with the windows cracked, and the soft breeze blows through the curtains

He’s sleeping next to you, and you curl up against him, perfectly content to get a few more minutes of sleep

His t-shirt smells like him--like home-- and you smile to yourself

But something less wholesome is going on his head

Hongjoong’s eyebrows tilt and his lips part as he whimpers in his sleep

It’s an expression you recognize, although he’s only ever made it while he’s very much awake

Usually as you take him, nails grazing down his stomach, watching his head fall back against the pillows

You have to wonder if that’s what he’s dreaming about, but you’re not about to sit by and let the dream version of you have all the fun

Throwing a leg over his hips, you rest your hands on Joong’s chest and slowly kiss his neck

He moans softly, eyes opening as he wakes

His hands find your hips, pulling you against the growing hardness in his sweatpants, and there’s a sheepish smirk on his face

“Sounded like a good dream,” you whisper against his lips

Hongjoong smiles in the dim light, his eyes flicking to your mouth

“It was,” he replies

His hand is creeping up your back, fingers purposely snagging on your t-shirt

“But nothing compared to this, and nothing compared to you,” he says, and kisses you firmly

You’re not usually one for morning sex, but this lazy love is exquisite in its own way

It’s all slow touches and kisses that are soft but not lacking in passion

Hongjoong shifts to be on top of you and your noses bump, causing both of you to giggle a bit

Joong hides his face in your neck, but takes the opportunity to place a few kisses there

The pair of you take your time in climbing the mountain, but you reach the peak at the same time, hands clasped and legs tangled

You tilt your head a little to watch his face as he comes because the sight of him, and the sounds he’s making, are nothing short of gorgeous

Following an equally slow comedown, you shower off together and clamber back into bed for another couple hours of sleep

When you’re both a bit more rested, you set out on foot to explore the city

Munching on croissants with Hongjoong at an outdoor cafe, and sipping espressos before setting off again

You stop at a small flower stand, and Joong buys you a handful of roses

As you walk on, he has his hands in his pockets, and you loop your arm through his

The content smile playing on his lips gives you a high, and you bask in the moment

The following day, you drive to the Musee du Louvre, and stay until closing time

Joong looks at the art, and you look at him, admiring your own masterpiece

You’re thankful you ended up here because it gives you a perfect, constant view of his profile, from his starry eyes to the tip of his nose to his lovely mouth

He catches you staring at him, and blushes while trying to suppress a smile

You do another day trip to the palace and gardens at Versailles, holding hands as you stroll through the ornate, golden halls and endless paths adorned by flowers

And, of course, it’s not a trip to Paris, or a trip with Hongjoong, if there isn’t shopping for clothes at some point

You pick outfits out for each other in the city’s best boutiques de vetements, from sleek luxury retailers to some of the more underrated shops in the art district

The two of you end up having to buy another suitcase for all the clothes you bring back, but this turn of events is shocking to no one

It’s the most fun you could have on a vacation, and your only consolation for having to go home at the end of the week is getting to start the best adventure of all

Being married to your best friend

Yunho

You’ve always wanted to visit Austria

What better occasion than your honeymoon to spend a week in Salzburg?

It’s all wonderful-- the music, scenery, history, and dancing!

It’s a series of beautiful moments from the very start of your trip

You and Yunho watch Harry Potter together on the plane there, sharing earbuds and mouthing the spells together

At one point, Yunho moves the armrest so the two of you can comfortably hold hands

You doze off together, heads resting against each other, and are only awoken by the captain announcing that you’ve landed

You were worried about jet lag, but your Energizer bunny husband has an abundance of contagious excitement

You drop your bags at the hotel, change clothes, and immediately set off on your first adventure

It’s a sunny, breezy day and the sweet aroma of flowers on balconies is everywhere

You’re strolling hand in hand down a cobblestone road in the historic district of the town when you and Yunho hear the music at the same time

You’re drawn like magnets to the sound of a small band playing on the sidewalk

Yunho pulls you in for a dance, just like you knew he would, one grasping yours and the other pulling you close by the waist

As he swings you in circles, you think to yourself, this is why you married him

His carefree nature, spontaneity, and the joy his spirit radiates

And the laughter in your ears that’s just as much music as the instruments being played on the corner of the street

Though you don’t know the steps, and you’re pretty sure Yunho is making them up on the spot, you never once stumble over each other

He ends the dance by twirling you around, tickled pink at how much fun you’re both having

Next, you find a little outdoor cafe, and insist on feeding him yourself

Yunho is blushing and acting like he thinks it’s ridiculous, but when you finally give up, he picks up the fork and hands it back to you with a sheepish smile

You giggle and scoop up a piece of the chocolate cake you’re sharing, watching his cheeks turn pink as he accepts it

By the time the cake is finished, you’ve got a bit of chocolate icing on the corner of your mouth

Instead of just pointing it out to you, Yunho becomes Yunhoe

There’s a mischievous glint in his eyes as he reaches across the little table and swipes his thumb across your lip

You thought he was just being cute, until he brings his hand back to his mouth and sucks the icing off his thumb

As you watch with a smirk, Yunho gives you a look that makes it clear he’s doing the math in his head of how quickly you can get back to the hotel room

He throws a handful of Euros on the table (more than the bill would’ve been) and grabs your hand

Twenty minutes later, you stumble backwards out of the elevator, arms thrown around Yunho’s shoulders

His mouth is hot over yours, and you have to laugh at yourself for not even making it one day before jumping each other

But hey-- what are honeymoons for, right?

He breaks your kiss only to swipe the key card at the room door, but his lips are right back on yours as soon as he can

Yunho picks you up, wrapping your legs around his waist, and blindly pushes the door open behind you

You’re not sure whose idea it was, or if either of you even thought about it, but you end up bent over the balcony railing, your lower half shielded from pedestrians below only by flower boxes

Yunho’s got one hand around your waist, and the other hand braced on the railing

He’s groaning softly between kisses against the side of your neck, thrusting into you from behind

At one point his hand drifts from your waist to press into your clit, causing your head to fall back against his shoulder

Yunho puts a hand over your mouth to stifle the moans that you can’t keep in

You come shortly after with a muffled cry into his palm, and Yunho bites into your shoulder as gently as he can to muffle his own noise when he comes a moment later

You take a few moments to come down before Yunho walks you inside to clean off

You collapse onto the bed together for a much-needed nap, dozing off peacefully in your favorite place in the world-- your husband’s arms

Yeosang

You had to reason with Yeosang just a little to get him to agree to go to Greece for your honeymoon

But once he realized why you picked it out of all places, he came around

It offers food, sunshine, fresh air, and many adventures in a place made for exploring

Getting excited on the plane ride in, giggling with each other and looking out the window at the islands like a couple of excited kids

You go searching for the best views in Santorini, climbing through the endless maze of steps between white and blue buildings

So many selfies--Yeosang smiling shyly with his cheek pressed to the side of your head

After a while, he really starts to relax and have fun, and his smiles in your pictures get wider and wider

One day is devoted entirely to walking through the market in town, buying random food items just because they smell good and holding them out for the other to try

At one point Yeosang slips away while you’re not paying attention

Trying not to panic, you look around, feeling like a child who’s lost their mom at a supermarket

Just as you’re starting to lose your breath, Yeosang catches you by the waist

You knew it was him just by his touch, but you still look to his face for the reassurance that he’s there

There’s a glint in his eye that implies he’s amused by your concern at losing him, but he tells you it’s okay, and shows you where he went:

A bright bouquet of flowers no doubt native to the island is bursting from his hands in marvelous yellows, pinks, and whites

You recognize Asphodels, but the rest are beautiful, nameless mysteries

They almost get crushed between your bodies as you throw your arms around Sangie and kiss him in full public view

No one seems to mind it though-- it appears as though love is in the air on this day, carried by the light sea breeze and lit by the sun

Yeosang smiles into the kiss before reminding you to be careful of your flowers

You take them from him with a grin, but when you’re on your way home, the smile turns into a pout

“Sang?” “Yeah?” “My feet hurt.”

Yeosang fakes a dramatic sigh, but it’s not another second before he’s crouching in front of you, holding his arms out behind him

You gleefully climb on, and Yeosang carries you the rest of the short walk to your AirBnB

He’ll never say it out loud, but his favorite thing in the world is feeling your arms around his shoulders

Just like on your wedding day, just like now, just like he wants every day for the rest of his life

Another day, the two of you are hiking through some of the more rural parts of Santorini, and happen upon a beautiful wild olive grove near a cliff face

You come back the next morning with a blanket and some snacks, and spend the entire day in the shade

Admiring him as you sit by the seaside, because he looks so stunning among the greens and blues and yellows

Again--SO. MANY. SELFIES

It’s not your fault he looks that good

Maybe he looks a little too good

Maybe you make a mess of your picnic blanket after grabbing your husband and pulling him on top of you

Once Yeosang looks around and ascertains that there’s absolutely no one around, he’s all game

His hands are bunching the skirt up around your hips, his mouth greedy and searching your neck for any spot that’ll make you whimper when he sucks into it

Your spot in paradise turns into rapture as his fingers meet your core, massaging you until you start to dig your nails into his shoulder

You’ve got one hand on his bicep and the other in his hair when he takes you in one smooth motion, finding his rhythm like he never dropped it in the first place

You come apart beneath him, and beneath the softly rustling leaves of the olive trees

The two of you fall asleep shortly after, completely relaxed in each other’s arms

Holding hands on your walks through the town at night, underneath the twinkle lights

You’ve married your best friend, and this is the best beginning to your lives together that you could ever imagine

Happiness settles around you like a light blanket, and you hope it stays forever

San

Don’t ask me why, but a glass igloo hotel in Iceland seems perfect

It’s cozy but not too small, and it’s the picture of quiet luxury

The glass walls and ceiling give you a beautiful view of the wide Icelandic sky, which is clear as crystal after a fresh snowfall

There’s a fireplace against one wall, with a fuzzy rug in front of it and many, many pillows

You spend the first evening snuggled up there with San, sipping hot chocolate and talking about every random thing you can think of

He keeps finding reasons to say “my wife”, getting all giggly every time he does

After you fall asleep, another storm rolls through, dropping an extra foot of powdery snow all around you

You and San are oblivious, however, because you’re both fast asleep under several layers of blankets

Safe and warm in your little nest, you nuzzle your face into San’s neck, and he tightens his arms around you in his sleep

Because being with you, and keeping you close, comes as naturally to him as breathing

When you wake up, you see the wonderland outside and it’s not even a discussion-- you and Sannie are outside as fast as you can put on your clothes

You play in the snow together, and his adorable laugh echoes around you every time he beans you with a snowball

Chasing each other around like little kids, giggling and kicking up the snow

San catches you by the waist and spins you around, making sure to never drop you

You wrestle around a bit but eventually end up making snow angels together

When you stand up to admire your outlines in the snow, San pulls you close and presses his face into your hair

Putting an arm around his waist, you brush some of the snow off his jacket

He catches your hand, and holds it to his chest, where you can feel his heart pounding

“Never forget that this beats for you, okay?”

You almost cry, but opt to pull San to you and press kisses all over his face instead

He just giggles and accepts every single peck on his quickly-heating cheeks

Later that day, you make your way to the hot springs nearby, running as fast as you can to the water’s edge after dropping your coats

It’s a rush to the senses, slipping into the hot spring and away from the frigid air

San is behind you, gripping your hand tightly

You find a ledge that’s been carved into the rock underwater, and make yourselves comfortable on it

San leans back, eyes closed, and you can see the puffs of his breath coming slower and slower as he fully relaxes

You lean back against his arm, enjoying the feeling of his skin and the soft water pooling around you

You end up throwing your legs over his thighs and curling into his side

His arm goes around your shoulders, and you feel every bit of worry leave your body

You’re heavy with relaxation, but you feel lighter than ever

That evening, you’re watching a movie and sipping spiked hot chocolate when a flash of green lights up the igloo

Gasping, you stand up to stare skywards, mouth open

San turns off the movie and moves next to you, taking your hand and squeezing it lightly

You watch the Northern Lights in silence as they ripple across the sky in vivid purples, blues, and greens

A few minutes into the show, you glance over at San to see his eyes glittering with all the colors

He looks so beautiful, holding entire galaxies, and he doesn’t even realize it

When the lights begin to fade down, you reach over and pull San to you

He knew what you wanted from the first millisecond of touch

He responds in kind, tugging you as close to him as he can and making quick work of both your shirts

Chests pressed together and breathing ragged, you let yourselves fall back onto the rug

Arms and legs tangle as you make love beneath the glass ceiling, and the auroras begin to flicker again, making everything that much more beautiful

Falling asleep in each others’ arms, not only for the warmth, but because you love him more than anything in the world

Mingi

Madagascar!

It’s a lesser known honeymoon destination, with fewer people than some of the more popular spots in Europe or the Caribbean

You have your own bungalow on the beach, with room service twice a day and spa services as well

Getting massages and face masks with Mingi? Yes. Doing so in matching fluffy white robes? Double yes.

Going on a safari adventure to see the lemurs!

You and Mingi pile into the backseat of an open-air Jeep and a driver takes you around one of the wildlife refuges

You two have the time of your lives looking at all the animals, grabbing each other and pointing when you see a new one

He’s smiling so big the entire time, and his happiness is contagious

You both sleep in late every day just because you can--no alarms, just birds twittering and sunlight filtering through the blinds

Waking up in each other’s arms, nestled under a layer of soft blankets

All you have to do is open your eyes, and Mingi is right there, sleeping soundly with the corners of his mouth turned up

His hair is tousled and he looks so peaceful

That is, until you try to get up to make breakfast, and he refuses to let you get out of bed

He doesn’t even wake up; just throws one arm around you and hugs you tight, humming in his sleep with a little pout on his lips

You can’t help but smile, and relent to his cute charm

An hour or so later, when both of you wake up, Mingi kisses you all over your face

It’s the best way to say “good morning” in his opinion, and you’re pretty sure he’s right

Another day, you do a guided hike through Amber Mountain National Park

There are even more lemurs, and many other animals

The air is so clean you can’t even believe it, and peace seeps into you with each step further into the lush, green wilderness

You stop to swim in an emerald pool at the foot of a small waterfall, and your guide steps away to give you a moment of privacy

You get close to Mingi, resting your hands on his shoulders and pressing your forehead to his

The water flows softly around you, but Mingi is your rock--steadfast and comfortable to you always

He kisses you sweetly, and you feel any tension he might have had leaving his body with each deep inhale

Your favorite moment from the trip, however, has to be your journey to the Avenue of the Baobabs

The Baobab trees have long been a legendary symbol of the African wilds, but seeing them up close in reality is its own level of breathtaking

Nothing could have prepared you for just how massive the Baobabs are, towering above the horizon as you approach in your tour Jeep

You’re dropped off at the beginning of the path that winds through hundreds of the giant trees, and told to meet back there in a couple of hours

Mingi pulls you down the trail excitedly, telling you that if he had to be a tree, he would be one of these

You snap your favorite photo ever that afternoon

It’s a picture of Mingi, grinning widely, hugging a Baobab (or trying to, since that particular tree had a diameter of about fifteen feet)

He looks so happy, almost childlike, and the joy just radiates off of him

That picture gets framed the second you return from your trip, and it’s also the lockscreen on your phone

Although your days are spent visiting every destination on the island, your evenings are a much-needed quiet time to recharge

You and Mingi snuggle up for a movie some nights, and other nights you drink on the porch and listen to the sounds of the jungle

Sometimes you get distracted from the movie or the scenery, and kiss Mingi a whole bunch instead

He’s more than willing to pull you close, and even carry you off, when you whisper something sinful in his ear

But no matter what you get up to, his love and sweetness are in every touch

Whether you’re out and about, or enjoying a quiet moment to yourselves, his arm is around you always, and you never have to ask twice for extra kisses

Wooyoung

A beach resort in Turks and Caicos seems like the perfect place to go with Wooyoung

Hear me out-- it’s got music and tourists that are just as loud as he is

Crystal clear, bright blue waters greet you as the two of you hitch a ride from the airport

All the windows in the cab are down, because it’s sunny and just the right kind of warm

Salty sea air fills your lungs and the wind breezes through your hair

You’re given complementary rum punch when you check in, and it’s the perfect start to your trip

You and Wooyoung drop your bags off at the room and immediately change into your swimsuits

The resort backs right up to the beach, so you run out in your sandals, hand in hand as you make a beeline toward the water

The sand is hot beneath your feet, but you don’t even notice because you’re so excited and the water! is so! blue!

You crash into the surf seconds later, the warm water swirling around your legs

You wade through the water until you’re chest deep, then kick up your feet and float on your back

There are no breakers, nor boats allowed, in the calm waters of the bay, so you float in the soft blue for a little bit, content to just let the tide wash you back to shore in whatever timeline it sees fit

You reach out at the line between sea and sky, meeting the skin of Wooyoung’s arm

He’s still standing, staring in wonder at the paradise around you, but he takes your hand without thinking

He’s your anchor, letting you float without drifting away

You spend the next several hours going back and forth between the sea and the sand, finding beach chairs to lounge on while you lay in the sun

As the sun starts to fall in the sky, you decide to head back to the room to shower off and get dressed for a fancy dinner

You’re minding your business, rinsing the shampoo out of your hair, when the bathroom door opens and Wooyoung pokes his face inside

“Mind if I join you?”

“Not at all. It’ll save water,” you respond, smiling

Woo sheds his swimshorts and joins you, slipping in as fast as he can to keep the steam inside the glass door of the shower

You massage shampoo into his hair, enjoying his little hums of appreciation

He rinses it out while you wash your body, and you stand behind him as he washes off too

His back is to you and you openly stare at the water running down his back

You feel heavy, relaxed, from spending all day in the sun, but there’s one thing that could make this afternoon even better

Once all the soap is off of him, you step forward and kiss the spot between his shoulder blades

Never a stranger to your unspoken wishes, Wooyoung leans his head back as you kiss your way up to his shoulder

When you can’t reach any more, he turns and kisses you, hard

He’s got one hand snaked around your waist and the other holding your face to his

Your arms are around his shoulders in a heartbeat, and he backs you against the tile

It’s cold, but the warm water is still running between your bodies, giving you shivers

Wooyoung breaks the kiss only to kneel in front of you, throwing your leg over his shoulder

He brings you to the edge with his mouth, then stands again, keeping your leg hitched over his hip

When he fucks you, you’re worried that people are going to see the scratches on his shoulders the next day at the beach

But eventually, you can’t be bothered to think about it, and you lose yourself in his touch instead

You come apart shortly after, chests heaving and skin pressed to wet skin

A little while later, you’re toasting one another over dinner

The restaurant offers many amazing local delicacies, and Wooyoung insists on hand-feeding you at least half of them throughout your trip

There’s live music every night at the resort’s restaurant & bar, and Wooyoung doesn’t think twice about pulling you with him to the dancefloor

You’re not overly confident in your dancing skills, but Woo pulls you close and shows you some simple steps as other couples join around you

After a couple of songs, you’re able to get into the groove of the funky music that the island loves so much

Wooyoung’s smile is all you need to know you’re moving the right way, and you dance to a few more songs before going back to the bar counter for more fruity drinks

The two of you continue to get tipsy, then walk to the beach and make out in the sand like a couple of teenagers

You’re both giggling between kisses, digging your toes into the sand, and existing purely in the moment

Everything is sweet, from the taste of pineapple on his tongue to the heady aroma of plumeria blooms in the trees

Every day is a beach day in this place. You’ve never had this much fun, splashing and playing in the water, laughing nonstop

One afternoon, Wooyoung is passed out on a beach chair under an umbrella, lulled to sleep by the day’s warmth and the sounds of the ocean

After taking a picture of him to giggle at later, you get an idea

The air is fragrant with the sweet smell of the thousands of flowering bushes that are planted throughout the resort’s grounds

Nobody would miss a few of those flowers, would they? If you were to, say, pluck some and decorate your husband with them?

You slip away from the chairs and your sleeping Woo to gather a few blooms from the nearest row of landscaping, returning with sweet-smelling handfuls of them

You giggle to yourself, putting the flowers all around Wooyoung’s head like a little halo of yellows, whites, and pinks

He doesn’t even notice them until he wakes up, gets back in the water, and sees a bunch of petals in the surf around him

You laugh and take photos of all of it

Being on a catamaran at sunset, sitting side by side with your head on his shoulder

The sky is painted in vivid oranges and reds, and Woo’s hand rests on your thigh, his breathing slow and even next to you

The wind is a bit cool on your wet skin, but the sun still delivers warmth, and you inhale the smell of saltwater on Wooyoung’s skin

He turns his face slightly to kiss the top of your head, and you smile knowing that his love for you comes without him even having to think about it

As the boat smoothly cuts through the water, you feel completely at peace

You’re exactly where you’re meant to be, and it’s hard to think about your life turning out any other way than this moment, with this man

Jongho

Buenos Aires, Argentina

Incredible local food, soccer matches, constant music, breathtaking city scenery--it’s a neotropical dream

First of all, Jongho is amazing to travel with

Being the eldest of his family, he’s well-prepared with a bag full of snacks, meds, toiletries, headphones, and neck pillows for both of you

He looks so cute on the flight, snuggled up in his complimentary blanket and neck pillow

He’s pouting in his sleep and you take several photos just because

When you get to the hotel room, he bravely offers to carry your luggage up the stairs for you

But he makes you wait at the bottom of the stairs so that he can come back and scoop you into his arms

Because he insists on carrying you bridal-style at every opportunity, starting with your arrival to the room

It’s a suite on the second floor, with its own balcony overlooking the main walkway below

You can look out over shops and restaurants and bars, all the nightlife in one place

You change out of your airport clothes, then venture out to grab some drinks and go shopping-- the boys had bullied Jongho into promising that he’d bring back gifts

The two of you are buzzing by the time night falls, but your feet are sore from walking and you’re exhausted from the flight

So you grab some food to-go from one of the restaurants and take it back to the room

You chow through dinner with the balcony doors open, allowing the music and chatter of the streets to carry in on the soft, warm breeze

Going into food comas immediately after eating, you and Jongho pass out on top of the covers, facing each other with hands clasped in the middle

You wake up to brilliant sunlight and Jongho’s arm thrown over you

He’s your life-size teddy bear, and you snuggle closer to him for warmth and comfort

When you both get up and around, you surprise Jongho with tickets to this year’s Superclasico-- only the biggest soccer match in Buenos Aires!

Jongho tries to play it cool, but you can tell he’s absolutely giddy at getting to attend a sports game while he’s here

He loves soccer, after all, and he can’t stop smiling the entire way to the stadium

He practically drags you by the hand to your seats, which are so close to the field that you can hear the footballers yelling to each other

Jongho doesn’t sit down a single time during the game, shouting excitedly in Korean even though he doesn’t know anything about these teams or who to root for

He’s just glad to be there, and it’s an absolutely fantastic match

On your short walk home, he’s got so much energy from being amped up by the game that he stops you on the sidewalk and tells you to get on his back

You blush profusely, but who are you to say no? Besides, you love seeing him be this carefree

The two of you stick out like a sore thumb in the streets of Argentina since you’re giggling like crazy and he’s singing to you in a language that definitely isn’t local

You indulge in some amazing street food before going back to the hotel and getting ready for the evening

He got tickets to a theater show, and it gives you an opportunity to get all dressed up

Your husband looks so handsome in his casual suit, and when you walk out in your dress, he’s holding roses

The show is wonderful, and you’re both part of the standing ovation it receives

You throw off your shoes when you get home, but there’s so much excitement outside that the night is hardly over

Standing on your balcony, listening to singing in the streets and bars below, with Jongho’s arms around you from behind

This man clearly did his research before coming here, because he actually knows some of the songs in Spanish and you bet your ass he serenades you as musicians pass by below

There are fireworks some nights for no apparent reason other than that the city exists to be a technicolor celebration of life

There is no better place to start this marriage, and no better person to be married to

Camellia Street home of Lee.

Even if the name Liberace didn't immediately suggest the piano, youd have a faint idea that the two were someth hat connected after you glimpsed the North Hollywood home of this amazing virtuoso' For the piano theme is dominant throughout the house. Beginning with the living room is ith Liberace I fabulous ebony Bluthner concert grand piano keying the room, through to the bedroom, with a miniature white piano on the headboard of his studio bed there are literally hundreds of pianos. So many, in fact, that the artist savs that now he'll hae to get a larger home soon. Ardent Ians His ardent fans, of course, are responsible for most of the miniature pianos. And though he has a genuine fondness for each one of those sent to him, it is a physical Impossiblity to display all of them at any one time. Liberace has specially designed mirrored wall cases on either side of his fireplace on which many of his famous miniature pianos are displayed, but he says that many more have to be packed away. Libei ace himself was the decor-atoe of his Valley home, which he shares with his mother, Mrs Frances Liberace. His younger brother, Rudy, did live with them, too, but now he is in Korea with the Army. Suzette, a winsome miniature French poodle (another gift from a fan) has her own place In the household and was the Inspiration for the decor of another room In the house but more of that later. Green, gold, Chinese red with accents of gray and black are used throughout the entire house. Plain green walls, sculptured gray wall-to-wall carpeting, green and gray print traverse draperies are the background colors of the living room. Custom-Done A custom-done gold sofa fits snugly into bay window of the living room, with a large brass planter behind it. The coffee table in front of the sofa is you guessed it in the shape of a grand piano Liberace designed it himself and It was made for him by Mario Ingeniously done, the coffee tAble is also a planter with a glass top above it. Liberace also designed the lamps. They are a striking combination in black and off white. One of the pair has a grand piano in the design; the other, several notes of music. Another custom piece in the living room is the large modern cabinet in black and gold, which houses a television screen, radio, recordplayer and recorder A pair of Chinese red chairs and a black and gold chair are used here, too Place of honor in the living room goes to the Bluthner grand piano The only one of its kind in the world, Liberace had it rqade in Leipsiz just before World War II At that time there was one other likp it, but that and the factory itself were destroyed by bombs, so Liberace's is the only one left. It is a foot longer than any concert grand piano in this country and is certainly the most handsome piano I have ever seen At least three hours a day the renowned pianist practices on It, but he does not take the piano about any more for his concert or TV appearances. Scenic Wallpsper It is in the dining room that a visitor really begins to realize the scope of Liberaces compound talents The scenic wallpaper above the green dado here, was designed by Liberace himself and was inspired by one of his own compositions "The White Cockatoo. Colors in the dining area are green, white, crimson with touches of gold for accent. Period furniture in gleaming mahogany. The chairs have crimson upholstered seats and lyre backs. Handsome silver accessories are used effectively on the dining table and server. Off the dining room is an enclosed patio with barbecue and outdoor eating facilities. Comfortable green leather ehaiis, built-m cabinets, a second fireplace add to the charm of the den, off which opens a second enclosed patio. Again evidence of Liberace's own talent for decorating are evident. In the den Is an unique lamp made of three square fish bowls put together. What's more there are real live fish swimming around in it Outside, in the patio, is a tiny fish pond with a fountain, which the artist fashioned. Cocoa, White Cocoa and white is the color scheme for the master bedroom Liberace s. Off-white furniture, brown and white fabric in a modern piint are used throughout. And as elsewhere in the house, several miniature pianos are on display His mothers room is done In period furniture, with frilly feminine details andt keepsakes of hei family. The powder room decor was inspired by Suzette, the French poodle. Poodle paper Is clever hert and Liberac himself, added smal oal mirrors at intervals over th( wallpapered surfare Its a blue and white kitchen lr the house, with all evidences tha the family has a real flair foi cooking and enjoys It Coppei touches and a bright peasant wail paper in red and blue in the break fast alcove make it a bright happy spot.

FDT not seen in Los Angeles.) MINIATURE Liberace is shown with part of his extensive collection of miniature pianos, most of which his fans hove given him.

Only You

some Cal smut while I postpone the longer piece I have for him because I am literal trash 🙃

warnings: smut, swearing, jealous cal, the usual.

Please enjoy and leave some feedback (please, I feed off of it)

~T-Rex💕🦖

“Cal’s here!” Your dad calls as soon as he’s opened the door, letting the tanned boy into the house. Calum can hear your mum’s voice, along with Luke’s, Liz’s voice in the mix as well, and finally yours.

He sets his overnight bag on the top of the stairs leading to the basement. Before stepping into your kitchen, smiling as he sees you sitting in a chair. His Nirvana sweater on your body, the cuffs rolled at your wrists showing off your dainty hands.

“Hi Mrs. L/N.” Calum says as your mum pulls him into a tight squeeze.

“How many times have I told you? It’s Nora, you’re family Cal.” She tells him, he smiles sheepishly.

“Sorry...I always forget.” She rolls her eyes and heads for the stove, stirring the pot of Mac can cheese bubbling away. Your dad outside with Andrew, both of them drinking beers and chatting away.

“Hi Liz.”

“Hi Calum, how are you?”

“I’m good, and yourself?”

“I’m doing pretty great. I’m gonna go help Nora in the kitchen.” She responds getting up and taking her glass of wine with her.

“Hey man.” He says clapping Luke’s shoulder gently, the blond looking up and smiling.

“Hey bro.” Calum turns his attention to you, seeing your gold rimmed glasses on the bridge of your nose. Your hair in a messy bun on the top of your head, letting a few strands fall out here and there.

“Hi baby.”

“Hi Cal.” You respond leaning up for a kiss, he kisses you back. Tasting the tropical wine cooler on your lips. You stand up slightly for him to sit down, before you sit on his lap.

“What are you all doing?”

“Mum got nostalgic again and invited these guys over to look at old pictures.” You inform him, looking at all of the photo albums and scattered pictures on your dining room table.

He hums softly and smiles as he sees a picture of you, Luke, and your old dog Nina on your back porch. Ice cream spread across both of your faces while you feed the golden retriever your ice cream cone.

“Should have heard them earlier, crying over our first school pictures.” Luke responds rolling his eyes slightly and smiling as he looks at a picture of you and him marked 10/31/04 on the bottom corner.

“Remember when we went as a princess and knight?” The blond asks looking up at you, you hum softly around your drink.

“Oh we thought you two were going to get married someday.” Nora says as she sits back down with Liz on her other side.

Calum feels his stomach tense, once again being reminded of how close you and Luke have always been. Reminded of your almost 20 year friendship that all started because he moved in across the street from you.

“Hell I think everyone thought they were going to end up together.” Andrew says as he comes into the house, two empty beer bottles in hand.

Calum’s heart clenches slightly, insecurity building in his brain. He feels you bring his arm around your waist tighter, your fingers slotting over his.

“But I’ve got Calum and Luke has Petunia.” You state, leaning back into your boyfriend’s chest. Trying to console him slightly, the parents all humming in agreement.

“Luke does have an unhealthy obsession with Piggy.” Liz comments getting her son to squawk a disagreement. The rest of the conversation being moved to pets that have come and gone. You rub your thumb across Calum’s knuckles.

“Dinner’s done out here if you guys are hungry.” Hank says popping his head in and smiling at all of you. You rise from Calum’s lap, gently tugging him with you to grab a plate. Standing on your tippy toes you press your lips to his cheek.

“I love you.” You whisper in his ear, squeezing his forearm gently.

“Your parents don’t seem to think so.” He mutters grabbing his plate, a soft scowl on his lips. You frown slightly and reach for his arm just as he slips away from you.

You sigh softly and follow him out of the sliding door, letting your dad pile a few kebabs on your plate. Looking up as Calum takes a few pieces of fruit and some macaroni and cheese. Luke following behind you, you take a seat next to your boyfriend at the outdoor table.

“Talk to me please?” You ask softly, resting your hand on his thigh. He tenses slightly and looks at you, his brown eyes almost unreadable as he moves your hand back. Luke sitting down on your other side, your mum talking with him.

“Calum are you gonna watch the World Cup?” Your dad asks looking at the tanned boy sitting on your left.

“Uh, yea I might. Might be too busy for it but I’m hoping to catch it.” He replies, nodding his head a bit and sitting up straighter.

“Cal is a very good footie player papa. You should watch him sometime.” You tell him, crossing your legs and feeling pride swell in your chest.

“I would hope he’s good, he’s the star player on the college team.” Your mum says, looking at your boyfriend. His fingers curling around his fork a little tighter.

Mind not sure if he should take the compliment or deflect it. The rest of the night passes with conversation about your studies and Luke’s new job at the record label.

“Hey...hey come here.” You say once the Hemmings have left your house. Both of your parents cuddling on the couch, booze and food making them sleepy. You tug him behind you to your room, letting the door close behind you both.

“I’m tired, can’t we just go to sleep?” Calum mumbles as he lets you push him down on your bed.

“No I wanna talk to you first, why are you so uptight tonight?” You ask softly, standing between his spread thighs.

“Your family thinks you’d be better off with Luke, they don’t like me as much as you say they do. They barley talked to me all night and then your mum was cooing over how cute you two looked at year nine formal together.”

“Calum, Calum Thomas look at me please. Who am I with?”

“Me, that’s not the point Y/N.”

“Calum who do I tell ‘I love you’ to every night?” You ask raising your eyebrow slightly as you slowly sit on his lap.

“Me, are you even listening to me?”

“I am listening to you, but Calum I’m with you. I love you, I don’t want Luke, he’s like my brother. And that would be disgusting, I want you Cal, want you to kiss me. And hold me and love on me.” You say pressing kisses to his jaw, nuzzling close to his ear.

“Y/N your parents are right up...oh fuck.” He gasps the end as you bite down on his earlobe. Sucking on it gently and pulling his hands to your thighs. Sliding them up to grip onto your ass, letting him pull your hips to grind against himself. You move down his throat, nipping at his skin gently and smiling.

“I love you Cal, only you, you’re mine and I’m yours. Nobody is gonna change that, please don’t let them bother you. Just because they thought I was gonna end up with that bozo I call my best friend doesn’t mean it will happen. They also thought I was gonna be super tall yet here I am coasting at five foot nothing.” You say cupping his cheeks, rubbing your thumbs under his eyes. He leans into your hand, kissing your palm softly before looking at you.

“I love you too.” Calum whispers, leaning up to kiss you again. Before you sink to your knees between his legs, hands going for his jeans.

“Oh fuck me...baby seriously your parents are upstairs.” He whispers, looking down at you puffy lips parted. Watching as you undo his button and zipper, he lifts his hips. Helping you tug his pants and boxers down in one go, his length half hard against his hip.

“You’re fucking crazy.”

“Oh you love this, shut up you exhibitionist.” You tease, taking his length in your hand and licking a strip up the underside. He moans softly and rests back on his hands, catching his lip between his teeth.

You scoot closer, wrapping your lips around his length. Humming softly as you suck at him slowly, watching his muscles clench. You dip your tongue into the divot in his tip. Listening to the resounding groan come from his chest.

“Fuck I love when you do that.” He tells you, keeping his hips from jerking up. You slowly work your way down his length, using your hand to stroke what you can’t fit.

Humming softly around him you feel his length jerk. Calum’s hand slowly cupping the back of your neck, wanting to feel your skin on his. You come back up, sucking at his tip as you squeeze your hand around him.

“F fuck, fuck do that again.” He pants stomach already tensing, his breath hitching. You repeat your actions before going all the way down on him. Nose touching his pelvic bone, a loud gasp coming from his throat.

“I’m gonna cum...fuck fuck I’m gonna cum.” He whimpers out, head tipping back as he grinds his hips forward. You choke slightly and pull back, getting his head to snap forward.

“I’m sorry, fuck I’m sorry baby.” You shake your head softly, sucking his tip back into your mouth. Jerking your hand on him quicker, listening to the soft moans coming from him.

“F fuck yes, fuck just like that baby.” He whines softly, hips jerking up again as you take his balls in your hand. Rolling them gently, moving a finger back to touch his perineum. Knowing how it drives him crazy, and being rewarded with a long drawn out ‘fuck’.

Before his body stills, and you’re pulling off. Watching him release on himself, a few strands dripping down to your fingers. He collapses back on your bed, panting softly. You stand up and reach for the box of soft tissues on your nightstand.

“I love you so much.” Calum murmurs once you’ve both cleaned up. His boxers being the only thing left on him, before he tugs you into his lap.

“I love you too Cal.” You respond against his lips, moaning softly as he drags his hands under your shirt.

“Let me show you?” He asks, you nod your head a bit and let him flip you both over so you’re underneath him. Your clothes soon on the floor to join his, while his teeth leave marks that will last for days.

What Furniture Do I Need To Create a Relaxing Outdoor Living Area?

You can just opt for a set of outdoor tables and chairs and you can still be fine with it. If you still have space on your patio after getting one, you can install an outdoor lounge.

If your garden is spacious enough to accommodate more furnishings, you may want to consider setting up sun loungers, outdoor dining sets, and perhaps even a bar set.

Still, if you can make space for more furnishings, here are some tips to consider.

Add outdoor cushions to your elegant outdoor lounge suite to make it cozy and charming for your guests to enjoy.

You can also add a sunlounger or daybed for a relaxing afternoon nap.

Get a stylish outdoor table and chair set. You can also set up a matching outdoor bar set and pair them with some accessories like a fire pit, BBQ grill and an outdoor umbrella.

How Do You Shield Outdoor Furniture Against Harsh Weather Conditions?

Water-resistant and waterproof finishes are available on some garden furniture, but not all. Even though some furnishings state they are waterproof, they are not completely waterproof.

The best way to keep it secured in all weather conditions is to use furniture covers. With polyethylene covers, your furniture will be protected from dirt, wind, rain, and ultraviolet light throughout the year.

Seating Ideas to Help Transform Your Timber Deck

Homes right across the country are benefitting from the new and improved outdoor space that a timber deck has given them, and in light of the ongoing pandemic, having such a usable space has become more important than ever.

If you’ve had a timber deck built for you by a local, professional company, you might be looking for some ways to make it even more appealing, and one of those is by having a selection of attractive, comfortable and functional seating arrangements. No timber deck is complete without somewhere to sit and kick off your shoes as you enjoy the sunset, or if you’re an early bird, the sunrise!

Here are some seating ideas to help you get the most out of your fabulous timber deck:

A dining set

Timber decks are the perfect space for entertaining, especially when the weather is fair and the BBQ has been sparked up! But, how can you entertain properly without a weatherproof dining set? The answer is, you can’t.

Coming in a range of sizes and styles, a dining set could make your timber deck complete, and give you an excuse to invite all of the family round to enjoy your chargrilled culinary delights!

Swinging chairs

For lounging around in admiring the view and listening to the chirp of the birds, or settling down with a good book, swinging chairs come in single or two-seater options, and can help make your deck an amazingly comfortable spot to hang out in.

A hammock

Hammocks don’t have to be for a tropical island, you can lie in a hammock on your timber deck and dream about the crashing surf and wheeling gulls overhead!

Sun loungers

Again, who says you have to be at the beach to take advantage of a sun lounger? A couple of these on your deck will soon have you so relaxed that you don’t need to go to the beach!

Benches

Benches are great if you’ve got a small timber deck, or it’s already crowded with other items. While not as attractive as some other seating options, they are exceptionally functional.

Weatherproof couches

What better way to truly get comfortable on your deck than by nestling into a comfy couch, and provided its weatherproof, it can stay out there all year round for you and guests to enjoy.

Beanbags

Popular in the 80s, these retro seats have made a huge comeback, and are so easy to just throw down and sink into! Just make sure the beanbags you choose for your deck, are fully water and weatherproof.

Rocking chairs

Rock, rock, rock your troubles away! There’s nothing more soothing and relaxing than a comfy rocking chair, and with so many styles on the market today, you could stick to a more traditional rocking chair that will match the timber of your deck, or opt for a sleeker, more modern model.

Folding chairs

While folding chairs aren’t necessarily built for comfort, they’re perfectly good enough to sit some extra bottoms on if you’re having a party, or some unexpected visitors show up, and you invite them to join you on your deck.

If you’ve got a wonderful timber deck that you want to show off to your friends, family and neighbours, just make sure you’ve got enough seats for everyone!

Altar Home Transformations is a family owned and operated business run by Michael Reyes a local renovation builder in Gold Coast. With extensive knowledge in home restorations, we offer various services including house renovation, timber deck restoration, build timber decks, timber decking, Deck repairs, roof restorations, interior and exterior painting, cleaning and more for both residential and commercial premises.

Villa Gita Segara, a perfect combination of style and comfort with untouched nature and natural beauty that is said to be one of the most luxurious villas on the east coast of Bali.

The four-bedroom Villa Gita Segara is located in the small and beautiful village named Candidasa on the northeast coast. The Candidasa area remains very rural and offers the perfect setting to disconnect from the fast-paced life, relax and naturally recharge.

The villas property borders a pristine gold-sand beach with access to the blue ocean waters. Set amongst the coconut groves and tropical greenery, the villas main building is the first living area that is seen when entering the property. Constructed with natural stone and Indonesian hardwood, the immediate feeling in the room is one that is warm and inviting. Guests have expressed that their immediate reaction has been to unwind on the soft and luxurious sofas in the main living area before enjoying cocktails or their next meal at the indoor dining room or outdoor dining hall, suited for 8 people and 12 people, respectively.

The villas master bedroom fully occupies the second floor and features a large four-post bed, a spacious bathroom with ocean views, a small living room with upholstered furniture and a balcony perfect for sunbathing with views of the pool, the ocean and coastline.

On the ground floor just beside the gym, the villas second bedroom boasts ocean views through panoramic windows, a terrace, a private bathroom, and ultra-comfortable double bed. Guests have expressed that the draperies and mahogany furniture create a warm and comfortable atmosphere that resembles a French bedchamber.

The two remaining bedrooms are located in a separate pavilion with double beds, upholstered sofas, the tea tables, private bathrooms with magnificent views of the property and ocean.

All rooms on the ground floor have access to the central pool, terrace with lounge chairs and umbrellas, and lawn surrounded by a fragrant and tropical flower garden.

Lake House Interior Design Ideas

Grace Hill Design worked with the homeowners and Michael Paul Design Build to design the Dutch Colonial style home which has an East Coast Hamptons feel. The homeowners wanted a classic, casual lake home to accommodate their active lifestyle. The home has a lot of fresh crisp surfaces like white shiplap, enameled cabinetry and marble countertops, so we wanted to add warmth with reclaimed wood ceiling features, wide-planked rustic floors and antiqued brass light fixtures. The white oak wood hood in the kitchen matches the natural wood counter stools made of nautical rope. Those, along with the open shelving give a casual, inviting “pull up a chair” kind of feel that the homeowners wanted when entertaining friends and family. The light floors kept every room feeling very coastal and the white oak is extremely durable for their family of five.

All of the lighting, furniture, rugs, artwork and accessories all came from Grace Hill.

Have a great time, my friends and make sure to pin your favorite interior design ideas!

Lake House Interior Design Ideas

“When asked to describe the overall design style, the homeowners said “they want a happy house”. We worked with a color palette of sky blues, navy, pops of raspberry and reds along with a whole lot of white to give the house a fresh, happy lake-y feel. The blue accent color used on the Front Door, Dutch Door and Laundry Room cabinetry was custom mixed on site. We blended some paints that we were testing until we found the perfect “happy blue” to be featured in several rooms. That thread of blues makes the open concept floor plan flow well.”

Front Door – custom mixed paint color – “Benjamin Moore Birds Egg 2051-60” is a similar color.

Lighting: Arch Top Small Lantern in Antique Burnished Brass by Visual Comfort available through Grace Hill.

Sconces: Barbara Cosgrove – no longer available – similar here.

Kitchen

Featuring cabinetry by Engstrom Wood Products, this kitchen feels open without compromising on storage space.

Where to eat with kids

Families flock to the Gold Coast for theme park action, beach chills, hinterland mini-hikes and sunny good times. But you’ll need to step up your energy levels to extreme perkiness so that you (and your little people) can keep up with this holiday to-do list.

From Main Beach to Surfers and down to Currumbin, we’ve found the best family-friendly cafes and restaurants to refuel the crew, complete with climbing spots, play areas for all ages, frothy babycinos and piping-hot flat whites for the tour guides (aka you!).

BSKT Cafe, Mermaid Beach

You’ll find BSKT right in the heart of Mermaid Beach, less than 40 metres behind the sand. The dedicated kids area on the beach side of the restaurant (with bonus activity packs) isn’t the only drawcard for families – all kids meals come with a free juice and little ones eat free here every Friday night.

While they’re known for their locally-sourced, organic, paleo and gluten-free menu, BSKT is a hit with kids thanks to the berrylicious pancakes, tacka tacos, flatbread ham and cheese toastie, and kiddies ham and eggs. Little (and big) kids can top it all off with a CocoWhip, a healthy soft serve that’s vegan and dairy-free.

Where: 4 Lavarack Road, Mermaid Beach. Open: Breakfast and lunch Monday to Thursday 7am-4pm, Friday and Saturday 7am-10pm, Sunday 7am-5pm. Hot tip: Nom nom downstairs and then ommm upstairs at BSKT Activ where they offer strength and recovery-focused yoga classes.

Paradox Coffee Roasters, Surfers Paradise

This modern coffee-lovers haven has created a great gated space for kids featuring a chalk wall, toys, teddies and games to keep them distracted while you enjoy a coffee hit, eat with two hands and maybe even have a grown-up conversation.

The all-day breakfast and all-day lunch menu is packed full of deliciousness like haloumi and avocado burger and housemade cranberry and chia fruit toast for parents, but the real treat comes in kiddie form with the Paradox Kids’ High Chocolate. Prepare for the sugar high.

Where: 10 Beach Road, Surfers Paradise. Open: Breakfast and lunch daily from 7am-3pm. Hot tip: For something a bit special, their high coffee experience is like a regular high tea, but with caffeine goodness.

Waterfront Restaurant at Southport Yacht Club, Main Beach

Want your kids to learn sailing skills while you sip your latte? Then head to the Southport Yacht Club on weekends from 9am to 10:30am so your 7 to 15 year-olds can take off on a FunSail adventure.

Once they’re back from a morning on the water, they’ll need something palatable from the “cadets” lunch menu, which includes all the staples from steak and chicken nuggets to pasta bolognaise and fish and chips. Seafood-loving parents, on the other hand, will be drooling over the macadamia crusted barramundi or salmon linguine.

In between sailing and eating, the kids will be sorted for fun at the playground on the western lawn of the clubhouse.

Where: 1 Macarthur Parade, Main Beach. Open: Breakfast Saturday and Sunday 7:30am-10am, lunch Monday to Saturday 12pm-2:30pm and Sunday 12pm-5:30pm, dinner Monday to Sunday 5:30pm-8:30pm. Hot tip: Kids can chow down on lunch or dinner for a bargain $5 on Mondays and Tuesdays with any adult main meal purchase.

Bumbles Café, Surfers Paradise

It might only be a five-minute walk from the heart of Surfers Paradise, but Bumbles Cafe on Budds Beach – facing the Nerang River – feels miles away from the high-energy centre of the GC.

Find a spot outside under a big shady umbrella at one of the best under-the-radar kid-friendly cafes and place an order for a prawn or lime chicken finger sandwich (for you) and bacon and egg slider or waffles with vanilla ice-cream and Lindt chocolate sauce (for them).

Where: 19 River Drive, Budds Beach, Surfers Paradise. Open: Breakfast and lunch Monday to Thursday 7am-4pm, Friday to Sunday 7am-4pm. Hot tip: Go posh and book in for Bumbles’ high tea featuring housemade sausage rolls, quiche Lorraine and lemon curd tartlets.

Bazaar, QT Gold Coast, Surfers Paradise

One word: Buffet. A crowd-pleaser for all ages, this Sunday brunch buffet is found inside one of the coolest hotels in the hood, QT Gold Coast, smack bang in the middle of Surfers Paradise.

Their epic spread includes a live crepe station, gourmet brekky bowls, fondue station, breakfast pizzas and fried chicken with waffles – all of which can be enjoyed by the kids too. Buffet-style dining at its yummiest.

Where: QT Gold Coast, 7 Staghorn Avenue, Surfers Paradise. Open: Breakfast daily 6:30am-10:30am and dinner 5:30pm-late, Sunday brunch 11:30am-3pm. Hot tip: Treat yo’self to bottomless mimosas for an extra $25. Worth it.

Miami Marketta, Miami

If you’ve got kids that can’t agree on cuisines, head to outdoor street-food market Miami Marketta for 25 vendor options that’ll suit all tastebuds.

Despite the delish savoury selections available – from teppanyaki noodles and gnocchi to gozleme and brisket – the kids may make a run straight for the Dessert Hall which holds an abundance of gelato, cakes and donuts.

Live music from local blues, jazz and roots artists (with a dancefloor to boot) rounds off this fun family night out.

Where: 23 Hillcrest Parade, Miami. Open: Dinner Wednesday 5pm-10pm, Friday 5pm-11pm, Saturday 4pm-11pm. Hot tip: Got a group? Book out the Cocktail Garden, which opens up the private bar to you and your guests.

Paddock Bakery, Miami

For kids (both the two- and four-legged kind), this busy bakery and café inside an old Queenslander home is a great spot to enjoy breakfast, brunch or lunch (or an anytime treat).

Head beyond the picket fence to explore the veggie patch, citrus trees and lavender garden, armed with one of the ample crunchy cronuts, gooey tarts and other treats that are pumped out each day.

Want something more substantial? The dippy eggs (served with buttered sourdough soldiers, bacon bits and labna) and iced Milo are high on the order rotation for the kids, while mums and dads have tough decisions to make with the all-day brekky and lunch options.

Where: 20 Hibiscus Haven, Miami. Open: Breakfast and lunch daily from 6:30am-3pm. Hot tip: Need to cater a morning tea? You can order tarts, sourdoughs, cakes, sausage rolls and other treats from Paddock Bakery online.

Plantation House Cafe, West Burleigh

Right on Tallebudgera Creek and less than 10 minutes’ walk from David Fleay Wildlife Park, you’ll find Plantation House Cafe. With plenty of off-street parking, this easy-access cafe pulls in the locals with their all-day organic and free-range breakfast treats like Boston baked beans or corn and zucchini fritters, both served with spinach and poached eggs on sourdough.

Acai bowls are ready for the fruity fans while kids can’t say no to Plantation House’s burgers, pancakes and shakes. There’s a kids’ play area with chalkboard, rocking horse and loads of toys, too.

Where: 1/43 Tallebudgera Creek Road, West Burleigh. Open: Breakfast and lunch Monday to Saturday 6:30am-2:30pm, Sunday 7am-2pm. Hot tip: Grab some breakfast sustenance after an early morning swim in Tallebudgera Creek or play at Marin Sheils Park across the road.

Dune Café, Palm Beach

Dune Cafe’s location in the middle of pumping Palm Beach (and overlooking Currumbin Lagoon) gives them a five-star family badge.

Scallywags who love simple breakfast cuisine will dig their hotcakes or bacon and egg slider; while lunch options include tasty nacho boats and Southern-style chicken tenders and chips. The big people menu doesn’t disappoint with rustic potato and quinoa hash for brekky, or barramundi in crispy gluten-free batter for later on.

Where: Palm Beach Parklands, 945 Gold Coast Highway, Palm Beach. Open: Breakfast and lunch daily 6:30am-3pm. Hot tip: Grab a table or BYO picnic blanket and take in the live music on the last Saturday of every month.

Passiontree Velvet, Robina

If your mini-me brings their mandatory plus-one (of the stuffed kind) to all occasions, book in for the Teddy Bear’s Picnic kids high tea at Passiontree Velvet.

With all the fanciness of a grown-up high tea, but with a kid price-point (and no tea in sight), this cake shop turns it on with ham finger sandwiches, strawberries, macarons and a choice of babycino or juice. Mum (or dad!) is sorted with classic English scones, finger sandwiches and loose leaf tea too.

Where: Robina Town Centre (in front of David Jones), 19-33 Robina Town Centre Drive, Robina. Open: Monday to Wednesday 9am-5:30pm, Thursday 9am-9pm, Saturday 9am-5pm, Sunday 10am-5pm. Hot tip: Order a custom cake or macaron tower for a next-level addition to any birthday party.

Neighbourhood Espresso, Currumbin Waters

As the name suggests, there’s a strong community vibe at Neighbourhood Espresso with a casual backyard feel.

Let the kids loose in the vintage caravan cubby and grassed play area with tables and chairs and toys aplenty. Then, load up on the spiced pumpkin waffles with banana curd or chunky avocado topped with seeded dukkah, lemon and cumin oil. Kids can take a break from play with bacon and fried egg or avocado on sourdough.

Where: 4/9 Station Street, Currumbin Waters. Open: Breakfast and lunch Monday to Friday 5:30am-2pm, Saturday and Sunday 5:30am-1:30pm. Hot tip: Expect a good coffee from Neighbourhood Espresso. Their beans are brewed from Yatala’s own Supreme Roasters.

Currumbin Beach Vikings Surf Life Saving Club, Currumbin

Whether your crew is signed up for the local nippers or not, Surf Life Saving Clubs are a pretty sure bet for good-value kid-friendly food options. Currumbin Beach Vikings have breakfast, lunch and dinner by the beach sorted with loads of specials across the week.

The Nippers breakfast menu covers simple delights like sausage, egg and hash brown or pancakes with maple syrup and ice-cream. Family faves like chicken nuggets, cheeseburger and chips and old faithful, Hawaiian pizza, are on the Nippers lunch and dinner menu.

Where: 741 Pacific Parade, Currumbin. Open: Breakfast Monday to Friday 7am-10:30am and Saturday and Sunday 7am-11am, lunch Monday to Friday 11:30am-2:30pm and Saturday and Sunday 12pm-3pm, dinner Sunday to Thursday 5pm-8pm and Friday and Saturday 5pm-8:30pm. Hot tip: Leave your car at home, and call ahead to arrange the courtesy bus pick-up and drop-off.

The Bearded Dragon Hotel, Mount Tamborine

If your family is beached out, head to the hills of Mount Tamborine and dine on quality pub-fare at the Bearded Dragon Hotel. Set on 110 acres, this country pub paddock with a huge beer garden has a bit of everything for the fam from live music and crocodile shows to playgrounds and alpaca feeding.

The Bearded Dragon team are serious about their hefty steaks and burgers but also mix in a sticky plum and maple glazed pork belly and Big Boy brisket Yorkshire pudding for good measure. Kids can take their pick of cheesy bolognaise, steak and vegetables or battered fish and chips.

Where: Corner Tamborine Mountain Road and Beaudesert-Beenleigh Road, Tamborine Village. Open: Monday to Friday 10am-8pm, Saturday and Sunday 8am-8pm. Hot tip: Make a weekend of it and stay overnight in a family room onsite at Bearded Dragon Hotel.
