Idk if you've gotten one like this, but how about the RFA's (+ V's) reaction to Jumin coming out as gay when he and a male mc start dating?

Doing this on my phone so forgive any weird formatting! Also, I made this pretty light hearted because I don't see any of the characters reacting in a serious way (homophobic, denial, etc), but I'm not trying to make light of coming out in general

Zen

"whaaaat"

Now he finally has something to tease Jumin about in revenge for Jumin teasing him

Definitely offers to donate photos of him shirtless and stuff

First to throw hands if anyone tries to insult or be rude to you and Jumin

Yoosung

Total shock

He didn't even, really realize gay was a real world thing?

Not out of hate or rudeness, just ignorance from never encountering LGBT stuff around him

Always worried about being accidentally rude so does tons of research on how to be a supportive friend and ally

Jaehee

I mean, she's bi so

Marches out the pride flags

Helps Jumin think of gift or date ideas that aren't insane rich person things (maybe don't go to Hawaii over the weekend for your weekly standing date, how about a bookstore or cafe visit)

Seven

"knew it lolol"

V

Definitely not surprised

Did he and Jumin go through an expiremental phase in their youth? Maybe, he won't say

So, so happy for Jumin being able to embrace himself and live authenticity

For yours and Jumin's eventual wedding, his wedding gift is a portfolio of pictures of the two of you throughout your relationship

[imagine-zen]

Could I request a headcannon of the RFA+Saeran+V getting caught under the mistletoe with MC. Maybe they get a little flustered when MC kisses them or maybe they initiate it (it's up to you) ps I love your writing!

Right, I lovethis, but I have absolutely no idea how mistletoe lives in the wild, so, ifthere are any factual inaccuracies what am I say, there’s 100% some pls letthem slide and don’t yell at me, I’m sensitive and just wanna write cuteromance

Also some ofthese might not be 100% REAL mistletoe but like, mistletoe shaped, hope that’sokay :)

Jumin

The two ofyou are throwing a holiday party at Jumin’s condo

It’s a smallparty, just RFA members and close friends

You’re havinga fun time, but still, you’re running around keeping track of food and how theguests are

You take amoment in the kitchen, eating some food, sipping some wine

You’re notstressed, but it’s nice to step back and just breathe, watch your guests enjoythemselves

You feelJumin approach you from behind, his warmth a comfort

Leaning back againsthim, you feel one of his arms stretch up and around you

You glance upand see a small, dark green sprig, adorned with soft white berries

“Mistletoe?”You ask, tilting your head back to smile at him

“Tis theseason” He hummed, a soft smile spread across his face

His handtugged on your hip gently and you turned around to face him, leaning up to kisshim

Your lipshave barely met before you hear Zen fake gagging

You chuckleas Jumin pulls you closer, starting to argue with the actor

Zen

You’rejogging with him one winter morning

The sun’sstill rising, its rays glinting off of the thin coatings of ice along branches

There’s alight layer of snow across the ground, though the path the two of you arerunning on is clear already from even earlier morning joggers

Zen suggestsa pause at an upcoming sitting spot along the trail

It’suntouched in the brisk air, snow lining blades of grass, a bench topped withsnow

You pull yourwater bottle out of backpack, enjoying the quiet beauty of the woods thatmorning, your cheeks stinging and your nose warm

“It’s gorgeousout this morning,” You comment, turning to look at Zen

“Everymorning with you is gorgeous,” He says while stepping closer to you

He smiles,tucking a strand of hair that had come loose from your ponytail behind yourear. “Wanna know why I suggested we pause here?”

Your cheeksare red for more than your run or the chilled air. “Why?”

He leans hisface in, pausing centimeters from your face as his eyes dart up above you

Turning yourhead slightly, you see a bushel of thin, green leaves poking out from beneath asnow coat

You have timeto identify the plant before Zen tilts your chin up and your mind is occupiedby the feeling of his lips against yours

Yoosung

“So, what doyou think?” You ask, glancing at him

He squints,thinking. “I think,” He nods his head subtly, raising his hand to point. “Yeah,let’s go with this one.”

You grin,picking up the fuchsia plant from the garden store’s shelf

“What’s next?”He asks, leaning against your shoulder to get a glimpse of the “to-get” listyou wrote up together last night

“Let’s see,we’ve gotten a good amount of flowering plants, wanna check out some herbs orfruits?”

“Soundsperfect.”

While walkingpast the row of herbs lined up, thinking about which ones you and Yoosung usemost in cooking, you pause, recognizing the bundles of freshly cut branches beingdisplayed above the potted herbs

You grin,grabbing a cutting of mistletoe and going over to Yoosung on the other side ofthe cart

You tap hisshoulder, pressing a kiss to his lips as he turns

His face goesflush and he goes to adjust his glasses. “Wh-what was that for?”

You wave themistletoe as an answer. “Found some mistletoe, I had to.”

He breaks outinto a grin. “Don’t you have to be underneath the mistletoe to- you know?”

“Ah,” youglance at the plant then back to Yoosung, raising your arm to hold themistletoe over your heads. “You’re right, I guess we’ll have to try again,” Humming,you lean close to him once more

Jaehee

You’rehumming along to the radio, the kitchen lit with a warm glow from the lightsabove and out in the main room of the café

Jaehee comesback in, tying an apron around her waste

You laugh, “I’mjust about to finish up, you don’t need an apron.”

“It’s bettersafe than sorry,” She responds, flashing you a smile as she steps closer

She inhales throughher nose, the air full of sweetness

“They smelldelicious, right?” You say

“Hopefullythey’ll taste just as good,” She responds, flicking on the oven light andbending down to look at the cookies

“Your recipesare always amazing, don’t worry so much.”

The two ofyou continue chatting, you crack open the oven every minute or so to check onthe cookies before deciding they’re done and pulling them out to cool

“Oh!” Jaeheeexclaims, “You shaped them!”

“Yeah, I thoughtit’d be good; you know, ginger cookies during the winter, might as well have atheme, right?”

Jaehee nods,smiling as she looks at the mistletoe shaped cookies. “It’s a perfect idea”

“I have aneven better one,” You announce, picking up one by the edges and blowing on itbefore holding it out to Jaehee.

She leansforward, her face flushed ever so slightly, and takes a careful bite

She nods,chewing, and you can see her thinking of ways to improve on her recipe already

You leanforward, kissing her cheek softly

Her eyeswiden as she looks at you, and you decide she’s never looked more beautiful,with gentle golden light falling on her face and hair, a few crumbs on the cornerof her mouth, her eyes full of you

“Goodcookies?” You ask, leaning back a bit

She nods,trying �� unsuccessfully – to hide the smile spreading across her face

Seven

The doorbellchimes and you lean back to glance at the door monitor

Mail man.

You grin,jumping out of your chair and navigating past the security to the entrance, signingfor the package and running back inside

You open thesmall package as soon as you shut the door, glancing around to make sure Seven hasn’tmoved

Holding thegift behind your back, you make your way into Seven’s computer room

His back istowards you, computer alert noises coming from one screen, game notificationsfrom another, some kind of radio can be heard faintly from the earbud danglingfrom its partner in Seven’s ear

“What came inthe mail?” He asks, the clack of his keyboard barely audible through the restof the sounds

“Oh, there’ssomething for,” You answer, walking up behind him

You lean overhis back, keeping the object behind your back for now

He tilts hishead back, smiling up at you. “Oh? What is it?”

You grin, movingthe small plushie you bought up and over your head

The plushiewas a mistletoe sprig, but the berries were little cat heads

“A kiss,” Youhum, moving to kiss him

Upside downkisses are always awkward, but worth it

Saeran

You’re on awalk together during a fall afternoon

For someonewith so much information, he knew little about plants

You, on theother hand, had been a plant lover since you were small

So, the twoof you like to take walks, Saeran will point out different plants and you tellhim about them

It’s a funtest for you, getting to practice what you know, and he likes listening to you

At this point,there’s not many plants that you haven’t talked about – well, not that many alongthis path

The walks arestill good though, you talk and get to be alone together

The two ofyou are passing some woods, his hand keeping yours warm

The coldearthy smell of fall surrounding you

You’relooking up at the sky and the trees next to the path when your eyes light upand you tug on Saeran’s hand

“Oh! See thatbundle of leaves along the branch there?” You ask, pointing towards the plant

Saeran nods,looking at you in confusion

“Well, it’scalled mistletoe, have you heard of it?”

He nods again.“It can help with arthritis, right?”

You blink,having forgotten that. “Yeah, yeah that’s true! I forgot that, good job.”

He smiles,glancing down. “Well, if you weren’t thinking that, what were you going to say?”

“Right~ Yousee, there’s a tradition around mistletoe,” you start, tugging him closer to beingunder the mistletoe. “It’s supposed to represent love, so, when underneath anymistletoe, two people are supposed to kiss.”

As soon as youfinish your sentence, his eyes go wide and he glances up, then back to you. Hiseyebrows lower. “Really?”

You nod,miming an “x” on your chest. “Cross my heart.”

He seems tobe having trouble deciding if he was nervous or suspicious. “I mean – you saythat, and have just walked us underneath this plant…”

“Uh huh,” Yousay, stepping closer and leaning towards him slowly

His face wasstarting to match his ginger hair

“Are – isthis, do you want –?” He stammers, eyes now darting up and down

“If you wantto,” You hum, lowering your gaze to his lips

He gulps,staring at you before yanking you close and presses his lips to your, eyessquinted shut

You’re startledby his sudden movement but smile into the kiss, sliding your arms around himand holding him close

You’ve neverseen him this red before, and you can’t but chuckle, kissing his check

The two ofyou continue your walk, both smiling, your hands holding each other tightly

V

You frown, pickingthrough the bin full of props

“I don’t know,”You call out to V, who’s standing a few meters away at the photo stage fussingwith the set. “If you want a dappled shadow like that, I still think getting anactual branch and leaves would work best.”

He smiles atyou over his shoulder. “I’m sure you’re right, but I’d like distinct shadowsthat the faux plants make.”

Nodding, youplunge deeper, exclaiming as you find something that might work. “How aboutthis?” You ask, heading back over and waving the prop over your head

“Perfect!” Hesaid, taking the fake plant from you as you get to him

He hums, examiningthe mistletoe before eyeing with a soft smile. “This is good for more thanphotos, you know?”

“Oh? How so?”You ask, leaning against him as he wraps a hand around your waist

“Like this,”

You giggle asV pulls away from the kiss, his face suddenly nervous and shy

You placeyour hands on the sides of his face, pushing his glasses up to the top of hishead. “You’re right, that has many uses.” You hummed before pulling him back

Can I request the rfa switching bodies with their MC for a day what would they do?? Anything nsfw happen??? //wiggles eyebrows

Jumin

-       The first thing he notices is how the bed andblanket feel different, rougher

-       He’s confused at first but figures out where heis pretty quickly, he’s seen enough pictures of Rika’s apartment

-       It takes him longer to figure out the body swap

-       Even when he sees himself in the mirror, hewants to deny it because such a thing just isn’t possible

-       You have a lock on your phone, and he doesn’tknow it, so for a while he’s just stuck in your apartment trying to come toterms with what’s happened

-       Eventually, you call him, and there’s a momentof confusion where both of you hear their own voice and can’t quiet believethat’s what they sound like

-       You decide that it’d be best for you to go tohim, since you’re in Jumin’s body, you have a driver

-       After discussing things with you, he calms downa bit and takes the opportunity to look around your apartment

-       He’s not snooping, he’s just curious and wantsto see how you live

-       He finds your secret snack horde

-       He definitely doesn’t look through your clothes,he would never do something so indecent alright he might’ve peeked, but just alittle

-       Eventually, he winds up in front of the mirroragain

-       He’s fascinated by how he can he see you throughyour eyes, though he’s aware that that’s not technically true

-       Besides examining your body and its different parts,he doesn’t do much with this access

Zen

-       He realizes immediately, mainly because of thelack of certain… parts

-       He tries to act normally and take care of yourbody, eating breakfast and doing a light workout

-       Then, after the workout, he automatically goesto the bathroom to the shower

-       He pauses midway through taking off your shirt

-       There’s a battle in his mind, the metaphorical angeland demon arguing about how he should act

-       This is your body, what right does he have toundress and look at you?

-       But on the other hand, it’s so tempting

-       Your phone dings, a picture of him, from you, inhis body it’s not confusing at all

-       It’s captioned “checking out the goods”

-       It’s decided then

-       The two of then proceed to have probably one ofthe weirdest, egotistical sexts ever

Yoosung

-       He wakes up, bleary, barely notices that he’ssomewhere different

-       He makes his way into the bathroom, getsundressed and starts the shower

-       Then he starts to wash his body

-       He freezes, staring down as water washes overhim

-       People all the way outside hear his scream

-       He rushes to get a towel and cover himself, tryingto dry off as quickly as possible without seeing anything

-       Once dry, he covers himself with a blanket andscrambles to find your phone

-       Once you pick up, he’s shouting in a panic,apologizing and promising he hasn’t defiled your body in any way

-       Meanwhile, you were in the middle of exploringevery inch of the new body you’re in

-       You begrudgingly agree to come over asap

-       He refuses to move from his spot on your bed,hunkered down in a large comforter

-       Eventually, he tries to peek, but is immediatelyflushed with embarrassment and dives under the blanket once again

Jaehee

-       She’s disoriented, not from the body swap, butfrom how late it is when she wakes up

-       You have no alarm in your room, so she slept inuntil 9 am, much later than she was used to

-       And her body, well, yours, is so light andenergized

-       She didn’t realize how much her body draggeduntil now

-       Then she panics

-       What if you aren’t able to keep up with theendless tasks Jumin has for her??

-       She scrambles to dial your number, then has tostop and redial her number

-       You’re amused, but figure you can at least dothe bare minimum of her job, you’ve managed alright so far, and want her to beable to take the day off

-       She gets dressed, doing her best to respect yourprivacy but mostly unphased, and ends up going on a light jog before watching acouple of her favorite films that Zen’s played in

-       You meet with her in the afternoon for dinner

Seven

-       Best. Day. Ever.

-       Now his cosplaying can finally take that extrastep

-       Maybe he got in a car chase, but there’s novideo footage and no way to link to you to the chase

-       Your pantry was not prepared for his appetite

-       He calls Yoosung, shouting about how LOLOL has anew DLC

-       If the call came from him, there was no wayYoosung would believe anymore pranks from Seven

-       But since it’s your number and your voice, Yoosungfalls hook and sinker, and Seven gets a great laugh from the whole thing

-       At some point, he remembers to get in contactwith you and warn you to not try leaving, there are a few defenses that wouldbe dangerous to get around

-       He takes a bunch of pictures throughout the day,though he doesn’t send out most of them

-       The pictures he does send are goofy selfies thathe sends to you

Jumin, MC and V all gardening together?

Aaah this got kinda sad near the end, but I think it has a happy ending

Also, not sure ifyou wanted this as part of the request but decided to make this all poly, keptit pretty subtle though so hopefully if anyone has a preferred ship, they canstill read this for their specific pairing

           MC leaned over V’s shoulder, theireyes scanning over the finalized garden plan as he pulled the plans from theprinter. V shifted his eyes towards them. “Do you like it?” He asked, despitehaving already confirmed with them a few days ago.

           MC smiled, leaning against V’s back.“Of course, though I’m not sure how long the cat grass patch will last.”

           V hummed in agreement, leaning hischin into his hand. “Agreed, hopefully there will be enough variety throughoutthe whole garden to keep Elizabeth from obliterating any specific part.”

           “My Elizabeth would not obliterateanything, she’s far too neat for that,” Jumin chimed in as he walked into theroom, waving off Jaehee as he finished signing the clipboard she was holding.

           MC straightened up, chuckling butotherwise not objecting to Jumin’s clearly biased opinion. Just the other day,they watched the fluffy cat roll across the floor, doing her best to rip aparta small mouse toy that V had recently gotten for her. Jumin cleared his throat.“The plants have been delivered, all that’s left is to plant them,” He informedthe other two.

           V nodded, setting the garden plan nextto the printer. “I’ll get changed then; I doubt gardening in a turtleneck wouldbe a good idea.”

           MC grinned, nodding and going tochange too, along with Jumin. Opening their travel bag, MC pulled out theclothes they’d brought for this occasion. Jumin had wanted to get both them andV and a new set of clothes specifically for gardening, but, as V had pointedout, it wouldn’t make much sense to buy nice new clothes that would only get dirty.Besides, MC had done gardening in the past and thought their go-to “dirty”clothes were pretty cute, the worn hems and stains adding to their value morethan detracting. They slipped out of their current outfit, pulling on a fadedgreen t-shirt with a cute bird singing on the front, the decal covered in smallcracks and chipped in a few spots, before stepping into slightly oversizedoveralls.

           As MC returned to the main room, Vwas already standing by the door, a pen cap held loosely in his mouth as hestared at the garden plans. “Hey,” MC said, placing a hand gently on the top ofthe paper. “The design’s perfect as is, and if we want to, we can always makechanges later on. A garden’s supposed to change and evolve anyway.”

           V smiled, the lines around his softblue eyes relaxing slightly. “You’re right, I just,” He paused as he took thepen cap from his lips to put back on the pen, though it was clear his thoughtswere trailing away for a moment. “I want to see a perfect garden put togetherby the three of us before my vision fails completely.”

           MC’s lips purse in a mixture ofcompassion and sorrow. “It’ll be perfect no matter what, as long as we’re allinvolved,” Jumin said, shutting his door behind him as he came out.

           MC nodded and three of them leftJumin’s condo, taking the elevator to the roof. As the three of them steppedout into the beaming sun, MC bounced on their heels, giddy as they took in allthe potted and wrapped plants. Part of them had yet to believe that they wouldactually get to help design and plant a garden with two of the people that theycared about most. It seemed like such a… well, to use Jumin’s syntax, acommoner activity. They couldn’t help being a little surprised that such clean andsophisticated people such as Jumin and V agreed to the idea so readily and doveinto the planning and preparing so quickly.

           MC took charge of the plans, havingV and Jumin organize all the plants into the areas they would be planted beforeofficially starting. Then, the three started digging.

           Each person had an area that theyfocused on, though often someone would pause to go help one of the other two orjust keep them company. MC was the most mobile, while Jumin and V often wouldn’tmove to another section before finishing one. Periodically, a maid would bringup a tray of refreshments and light snacks, which MC would happily accept andhelp pass out to Jumin and V.

           The day wore on quickly, and the skybegan darkening faster than anyone had expected.

           Jumin sat back on his heels, wipinghis forehead. A few yards away, MC stifled a giggle at how the action left a smearof dirt across the businessman’s forehead. They looked up, sighing. “Maybe weshould wrap it up for today? We made a lot of progress.”

           Jumin nodded, setting his trowel tothe side. “I agree, everything is coming along nicely. What do you think, V?”

           The two looked over to theircompanion who was still digging up a hole for a flowering bush next to him. Theman remained silent, stomping the shovel into the dirt, his back arching as hehefted a pile of earth up. “V? Did you hear us?” Jumin asked, starting to standup.

           “I heard,” V responded.

           “So, why don’t you put the shoveldown and we’ll go get dinner?” Jumin suggested, a frown growing across his faceas he watched his childhood friend dig.

           MC took a few steps in V’s direction,glancing towards Jumin, their eyes wrinkled with concern. V didn’t respond,just grunted as he lifted another shovelful of dirt up. “V, are you alright?”MC asked, their voice soft as they lowered a hand on V’s shoulder.

           The taller man flinched at thecontact, hardly noticeably, but still. His movements finally stilled as he staredat the half-dug hole, sweat dripping down the sides of his face steadily. “Ithought we would finish today,” He admitted.

           “Well, it’s a big project, it’d bepretty hard to do in one day,” MC said.

           “I wouldn’t expect anyone to finisha project such as this in one day,” Jumin added, moving to the other side of V.

           “But, if we don’t finish, I won’t –what if,” V gritted his teeth. “What if something happens? And I don’t get tosee the final result, see the both of you in the garden, be with you two, inthe light?”

           MC clenched their jaw, swingingaround to the front of V and wrapping their arms around him, burying their faceinto his shirt, damp with sweat and dirt. Jumin rested his arm along V’sshoulder, tilting his head to look the distraught man in the eyes. “Nothingwill happen that would ever prevent you from being here with us. If there’s someawful change, and you don’t get to see the end result, we’ll still be here withyou.”

           MC nodded, looking up at V. “Justbeing able to work together this one day is more than a gift,” They said. “Andwe’ll work on it more tomorrow too, we’ll do everything we can to finish itquickly so we can all relax together in this garden.”

           Although V nodded, the tension driftingout of his posture slightly, one hand still clamped the shovel. “Why don’t wefinish planting this one bush, okay?” MC asked, resting their hand on V’s.

           “Alright,” V agreed quietly, his mouthcurving into a relieved smile. “Then we’ll eat dinner together.”

           Jumin nodded. He and MC steppedaside, allowing V to finish digging. Jumin helped keep the disturbed dirt to theside while MC started suggesting different options for dinner. It only took afew minutes for V to finish digging, and the three helped each other lift thebush, placing it in its new home.

           In the dusky red light of theevening, the small blue flowers swayed in the breeze, leaves shifting as theplant settled. When the garden was finished, a shaded bench was placed by thatbush, which the three companions would continue to sit on together for the restof their time with the garden.

rfa reactions to mc who suddenly starts to feel dizzy and lose balance because of anemia or low blood pressure :0 ok thx bye

Most of theseI kept to pretty vague dizzy/low blood pressure, but I got more specificsometimes, especially with Jaehee, I referenced a specific condition that’soften called POTS. It’s not common but causes low blood pressure and dizziness.

Anyways, hopeyou like this!

Jumin

He was doingsome work from home while you were looking at some RFA papers

Elizabeth the3rd wanted a snack, and you couldn’t say no to her sweet face

As you standup, your head rushes with the familiar floating feeling

But it’sworse than the average dizziness that comes with standing up

You don’trealize you’ve fallen over until the darkness clears from your vision and Juminis crouched over you, panic in his eyes as he holds your head

You try tocalm him down, realizing yourself that you’ve forgotten to eat anything todaywhich led to this

He wants totake you to a doctor immediately

After youexplain what happened, he’s not as worried, but still sets you up with a doctor

He wants toset up an eating schedule for you, but that feels too suffocating for you

So instead,he sets up an eating schedule for himself and asks you to join him whenever hegoes to eat

If he’s awayat the office for most of the day, he’ll often invite you to lunch with him

If he’s toobusy even for that, he’ll have Jaehee call to check in on you

Zen

You werehelping him practice his lines one afternoon

It’s a niceday, the two of you are outside to get some sun

He’s standing,trying to start blocking his movements out along with practicing his lines,while you are curled up in a plastic lawn chair with a copy of the script to helpprompt him

It’s warmout, not uncomfortable, but you’re sitting in the sun and have gotten a littlesweaty over time

Eventually, yousuggest a break, both so you can get a drink of water and so that Zen doesn’toverexert himself

He readilyagrees and is about to run inside to get drinks for the both of you, but youinsist that he should sit down, and that you can get drinks

You’vealready started standing up while you’re saying this

You’ve beenout in the sun for a while, without any water

You wobble,your knees giving out as you begin to fall back

Zen’s at yourside before you hit the ground, letting you lean against him

All you canthink about is how you’d dropped the script that you were using to help Zenwith

He assuresyou that the script doesn’t matter as he helps walk you inside

As you walk, ormore accurately, stumble, your legs start to regain feeling

You explainyour condition to him as you sip water and rest

From then on,Zen makes sure either you or him always has some water and a snack

Yoosung

The two ofyou have been gaming all day

Yeah, it’snot the most responsible use of a day, but you’ve both been working a lot andyour days off have aligned for once

So, yousuggested starting up the old Grey Station console and gaming for a bit, sinceit’s been a while since you and Yoosung played together

You hadn’t plannedon gaming for the entire day, but one minute the clock reads noon, the next it readsnearly 6 pm

After a matchfinishes, you stretch leaning back and suggesting the two of you pause and getsome food

Yoosung isexcited by this, and goes even further to offer making dinner together, whichyou love

He jumps up,wincing as his back pops and makes a joke about how he’s getting old

You pushyourself out of the beanbag and get a whole three steps before the floor is suddenlyrushing up towards you

You manage tocatch yourself against the wall and a desk, but in the process, knock over somefiles

Yoosung hearsthe noise and isn’t far ahead of you anyway, and he rushes over to you, alreadyasking what’s wrong

He helps yousit down at the chair of the desk you just caught yourself on before rushing toget you some water and any easy snack he can find in the kitchen

You hadmentioned your anemia a while ago, but you manage yourself and your needspretty well

It’s been awhile since you’ve lapsed like this

After you’refeeling better, Yoosung makes an easy dinner of chicken and rice

Yoosung doeshis best to drop small reminders after that, he starts sending pictures of hismeals like he used to when you first joined the RFA

If he hastime before work, he’ll leave a packed lunch for you in the fridge with notes

He truststhat you can manage your health without him pestering you, so he tries to limithow much he reminds or asks you about if you’ve eaten

Jaehee

You initiallymentioned a doctor’s visit about week after joining the RFA, and while the twoof you were finalizing the café plans, you explained your condition to herfully

She would sometimescome with you to your appointments, though she usually stayed in the waitingroom unless you were getting a transfusion, then she’d keep you company

She liked tostay updated, but your condition doesn’t change much, so the two of you don’tdiscuss it much

One night,after a particularly busy day, you’re wrapping things up in the kitchen,preparing for tomorrow, while Jaehee finishes double checking all of thepaperwork

Your limbsfeel like dead weight while your balance is wobbly, at best

But you’rejust tired, that’s all, nothing more

Wiping yourforehead, you go to sit down on a chair

You don’trealize you’ve missed the seat until your head hits the wall and your legscollapse, unable to hold your wait in that position

You hear achair clatter from the other room as Jaehee jumps up to run over to you

You groan,rubbing your head as she helps you stand up and sit in the chair that you justattempted to sit in

She’schecking your head, looking for any injury or signs of concussions

She waitsuntil she’s confirmed that you’re only mildly shaken up before releasing astream of questions and mild lecture points

As she’sgoing on, she pulls out a bag of pretzels from the cabinet that’s for the twoof you specifically, handing the bag to you

You begineating, the salt quickly helping your lightheadedness, though you’re still outof it

Jaehee sighs,going quiet and staring at you

She justwants to make sure you take care of yourself

Later, sheasks to go over your care plan with you, to better understand the best ways tohelp you

If shenotices you’ve been working extra hard for longer or look unsteady, she’ll haveyou sit down and take a short break

Seven

You don’thave much of an official documented condition, you don’t feel that your symptomsare bad enough to go to a doctor

So, Seven doesn’tsee anything in the background check he ran on you when you first joined the RFA

And for the mostpart, you’re healthy and good

There were afew times when running from Rika where you had to stop and get yourself together,but Seven assumed that was due to the circumstances

He has plentyof snacks throughout his house, so you’re able to keep your blood pressure niceand high, maybe a little too high sometimes, Seven’s got a lot of chips in thatplace

So, you getcomfortable, think less and less about how much you’ve eaten each day, if you’rea little dizzy sometimes, well, that’s not uncommon and it doesn’t stop youfrom doing anything

Your holdingyour ground against Seven one evening, his voice echoing through the game micand from the next room over, the sounds overlapping

You’ve beenplaying together for a while, and your fingers are starting to drag across the keys

Sighing, youcall out defeat, pausing the game and falling back into your seat

You see Seven’shead poke out through the door frame; his face plastered with a grin

You ask if hecan grab you a drink, maybe Ph.D. Pepper if he’s feeling generous

He agreeshappily and disappears, returning in a moment with a can of soda in his hand,which he hands to you

You reach outto take the offered drink, you feel your fingers wrap around the cold metal

It wasn’t anunusual movement for you, you’ve picked up more cups and cans than you cancount in your life

But somehow, youwatched the can settle in your hand for half a second before slipping, thenfalling and clattering the floor, soda spilling out

You try tojump up, but in the process barely catch your laptop from falling off of you,and then Seven catches you as you start to stumble

He’sconcerned, his face lined with worry as you try to catch your breath andprocess everything that just happened

You start tostruggle, saying you need to clean up the soda before it stains, but Seveninsists you sit down, the floor isn’t that important anyway

After youpromise that you’ll stay sitting, he grabs a towel, at your insistence thistime, then he tries to talk to you

You try toexplain, but there isn’t much to tell, just that if you don’t eat or movearound too much, etc. you get dizzy sometimes

Eventually,you agree to see a doctor, just to ensure that nothing too serious is happening

There isn’tmuch the doctor can do, just a simple prescription that’s more “as needed” thanregular, but in a way, it’s comforting for you, a confirmation that you’re not makingthings up or overreacting

Seven sets upa little reminder system for your computer and phone, every few hours a notificationwill pop up with a note or animation, it’s not always about food, but it’sSeven’s way of doing what he can to help you take care of yourself

I'm on route 707 and I just received the Zen call telling me that I could ask for advice about men and relationships to him, you can make a scenario where I'll call him for advice thank you

Woop, I’m back! Gonna be going through requests and doing them between classes and work, starting with the earliest ones and working up. Requests are still closed for now.

Thank you for bearing with me as I get back into things! 

       “Hey Zen,” MC said once they heardthe phone click as Zen answered. “What’s a good kind of condom?”

           He sputtered on the other end of theline, not having expected that kind of question before he could even say hi. “Um,I mean, I-I guess any is fine, why? No, never mind, don’t answer that.”

           MC laughed, leading to Zen’s facegoing red. He was glad that MC couldn’t see him at the moment. “Ah, messingwith me huh? That’s so mean,” He pouted.

           Chuckling, MC responded. “Sorry, Icouldn’t help it. But seriously, I could use some of that relationship adviceyou offered a while back.”

           “Oh~ need some love advice from bigbro Zen?”

           MC scoffed, flicking their hair outof their eyes. “Can you help?”

           “Of course,” Zen hummed, sittingdown in a chair near the window. “What do you need?”

           Shifting in their seat, MC fidgetedwith their free hand. “I’d like to – well, the person I like is strugglingright now, and I want show that I understand things are difficult but that Istill care,” they said in a rush, squinting their eyes nervously while waitingfor Zen’s response.

           “Wow,” Zen exhaled, his heartsinking just a little bit. This didn’t sound like MC was talking about him. “Thissounds serious.”

           MC chewed on their bottom lip,unsure what agreeing would imply. “Maybe,” They mumbled, too nervous to hope. “But,can you help? I don’t wanna do anything that pressures him or makes him feellike he has to do something in return, and, yeah.”

           Zen nodded. “Sure, of course.” Hepaused to inhale and gather his thoughts. “Well, it’d be helpful if I knew whothis person was.”

           “Nope, no,” MC said, shaking theirhead for emphasis. “You’d just make fun of me.”

           “What? I’d never!”

           MC continued shaking their head,though to a lesser degree. They could imagine Zen’s laughter, making fun of Sevenif they confessed. And even worse, what if he told Seven? By accident or on purpose,either would be the end of MC.

           Zen sighed. “Listen, MC, if you don’twant to tell me, I understand, but I can’t give much help without knowinganything about the guy.”

           MC didn’t say anything, staring intospace, thinking about potential outcomes.

           “MC?” Zen asked, starting to worryif anyone was on the other end of the phone.

           “Yeah, I’m here.” They sighed. “Youpromise you won’t laugh or anything?”

           “Pinky promise.”

           “Okay, well, the person I care about���it’s Seven.”

           Silence from Zen’s end of the call.

           Trying his best to hold back hisexclamation of shock, Zen had covered his mouth quickly. He wasn’t sure if hewas surprised, disappointed, or angry. Whatever he was feeling, he knew heneeded to hold in his feelings. This was about MC right now, and he said he’d helpthem, so he would.

           While he was thinking all of this,MC felt more and more anxious. They were too nervous to say anything, but toonervous to hang up.

           “Okay,” Zen exhaled. “Let’s see, you’reright – Seven’s been under a lot of stress lately, been acting weirder thannormal. He’s pretty vocal about stuff he likes though, isn’t he? Why not gethim some chips, similar to the ones he likes that were cancelled?”

           “No,” MC exhaled in a breath ofrelief that Zen was still there, willing to help, and not judging them. Or, atleast not judging them out loud. “That feels too simple, like something thatanyone could do. I want this to be meaningful, something to show him that Icare, but like, something more than just an easy gift, you know?”

           “Yeah,” Zen nodded to himself. “Yeah,I understand.” He paused to think more. “Well, despite all his talk, Sevendoesn’t care too deeply about many physical things. If he cares half as muchabout you as you do him, just knowing that you’re safe and there for him shouldbe enough?”

           “You really think so?” MC asked.

           They’d had similar thoughts, butagain, that felt almost too easy. They wanted to be there for Seven for as longas he’d have them, that felt like a given. Maybe saying so concretely would be agood way to express how MC felt.

           “I do, anyone would be beyond lucky tohear such things from you. Knowing someone like you is supporting him will definitelymake Seven feel better and know that you’re there for him.”

           “You’re just saying that,” MC chuckled,flattered by Zen’s words anyway.

           Zen gasped, trying to lighten themood. “I am not! On my honor as an actor, I speak only the truth.”

           MC chuckled. “Alright, thank you Zen.”

           “Any time, give me a call wheneveryou need advice from your big bro, okay?”

           “I will, talk to you later then.”

           “Of course, and MC?” Zen startedright before MC ended the call.

           “Yeah?”

           “That guy, he’s pretty weird, buteven so he’s been acting stranger than normal lately. You’re a great person,and Seven better appreciate you, no matter what else is going on in his life. Ifhe doesn’t, well, then he doesn’t deserve you,” Zen sighed, rubbing his eyes ashe tried to figure out his thoughts. “What I’m trying to say is, take care ofyourself too, okay? And I meant what I said, if you ever need to talk aboutSeven or anything else going on with, call me, I’ll be there for you.”

           MC nodded. “Thank you, I mean it.”

           “Of course, bye then, have a goodnight.”

           “You too, Zen.”

           MC exhaled as they ended the call,staring at their phone screen. Hearing Zen’s voice was helpful, and what hesaid was helpful too. They unlocked their phone again, writing out a text tosend to Seven before turning in for the night.

I don't wanna be a dick or anything but isn't v the leader of the rfa?? so why does it say v+rfa? i

That's not rude at all, to me V is a sort of side character, an important side character but if you're not playing his route (I haven't had time to play his route yet so), he's not really involved. He'll pop in from time to time but even in Seven's route he wasn't a huge part of the story until the end and extra endings. The phrase "rfa" in my head refers to the main characters, adding V's name helps me remember and keep things straight

Are the requests for Zen still open ? If they are could you do a scenario about how Zen would react to finding some of MC's old sketchbooks maybe ? And he didn't even know that MC could draw but when he asks MC about it she just tells him that she's given up on art years ago because she thought her art to simply not be good enough ?

- he spendsages looking through all the sketchbooks

- he’s notvery good at drawing and that kind of art, so he’s in awe at your skill

- he’sconfused though because he doesn’t remember seeing you draw a lot

- thesesketchbooks are clearly yours though, you wrote your name in the covers andsigned a lot of the drawings

- he asks youabout it at dinner

- youstutter, surprised that he found your sketchbooks but also that he asked whyyou don’t draw around him

- after asecond, you say that you don’t draw as much at all, not just around him

- he asks why

- “Well, I’mjust not that good-”

- “But you’reamazing!” he interrupts loudly

- after asecond he goes on to explain that he’s never been good at drawing and your artis so much better than anything he could possibly do and amazing compared tomost of the art he’s seen

- he finishesby saying that if you love something, don’t stop because you don’t think you’regood, just keep doing it and being happy

- if you dostart drawing again he gets so excited

- offers topose nude all the time

- complimentsyour art constantly

[imagine-zen]

Zen's reaction to finding a really artistic drawing in progress of him that MC has been working on in secret c:

- shock

- he’sstunned

- he knowsyou draw, he’s seen you sketching on the couch and seen a couple of yourdrawings

- but henever imagined you would draw him -as perfect as he is-

- he’s sotouched

- showers youwith gratitude, which confuses you at first until he says he saw your drawingof him

- of course,you get flustered and say it’s not finished but he doesn’t care

- insists onframing it once you finish

Jumin

- you don’t tell him at first,mostly because you know he’ll spend a lot of money trying to help butultimately that won’t do much

- you manage to keep thingsunder control for a while after you move in

- until you promise to go towork with him the next day to help out as he’s been particularly stressedlately

- he said you didn’t have to butyou insist and in the end, he gives in

- the next morning you wake upfeeling fine, but as the day progresses your body quickly starts acting up

- he’s slightly upset that youdidn’t tell him before but after you say why he understands to a point

- he nods and tells his directorhe’s leaving for the day, which doesn’t make the director happy but Zen doesn’tcare

- he doesn’t care so much thatyou never told him about this, his main problem with it is that if somethingbad had happened he would have had no idea how to help

Jaehee

- you tell her around the timeyou two start up the café together

- you think it’s best if sheknows beforehand

- but you don’t want to worryher too much so you downplay your condition a lot

- after a busy day, though, yourpain is already pretty high

- you don’t say anything,deciding that if you can finish cleaning up then you’ll be done

- while moving between thetables and wiping them off, your legs give out beneath you and you knock over achair while falling

- Jaehee hears the noise andrushes in

- she calls an ambulance rightaway and while waiting asks you questions to get an idea of exactly what’sgoing on

- if you’re not feeling greatshe asks the “on a scale of 1-10” question

- does so much research on yourcondition

- she didn’t do much researchwhen you first told her because of how busy you guys were with opening the caféand everything, and because of how you much you downplayed it

- but after you fall she learnseverything there is to know about your illness

- makes sure you’re seeing thebest doctor available given your location and finances

- will randomly ask throughoutthe day how you’re feeling

Seven

- when doing background checkson you he saw that you visited the doctors a lot, but didn’t look at what yourcondition was specifically to respect at least some of your privacy

- he figures that you’ll tellhim or it’ll come up if it’s important

- he does have an idea of whatcondition you have based on what doctors you saw

- he doesn’t bring it up though

- a few weeks after you moved inwith him you wake up in the middle of the night in agony

- you’re able to just barelymake it the bathroom before you throw up from the pain

- Seven runs in from where hewas working in the other room, keeping your hair out of your face and rubbingyour back

- he gets you some pain meds andholds you throughout the night, trying to stay calm for you

- once your pain subsides andyou’re not on the verge of barfing and he’s confirmed that you don’t need to goto the hospital or anything, he asks you what your condition is

- you softly explain,apologizing for not telling him

- on some level, you assumed healready knew, which was part of your reasoning for not telling him

- he looks up everything aboutyour condition and tries to make some jokes so it’s less of a serious topic

- that doesn’t mean he doesn’ttake your symptoms seriously though, he constantly nags you about how you’refeeling and actually stops eating as much honey Buddha chips, instead buying morehealthy food so you have a better diet

- whenever your pain gets bad, herefuses to let you leave the couch and holds you the whole time if you’recomfortable

- he tries to distract you byplaying games or talking to you about what he’s doing or telling you stories

Requests closed

I’ve got around 80 requests and I’m sure you guys have noticed that I’m not answering as many requests as I usually do. Things are a bit hectic so I’ve been slow on writing stuff, I am working on them though. But I’d like to get all of them answered without having to worry about new requests.

So, I’m closing requests. Sorry. But if you’ve already sent in a request I promise I’ll get to it.

As for the next character appreciation day, I’m thinking about doing that sometime this week, for that I’ll open requests for a day.
