#3 years and I still get people telling me that they think Saeran was wrong

[marshmallowprotection]

It really seems that for some people it was very difficult to grasp the true message of Saeran's after ending. They were so confused that they assumed that Cheritz was again trying to impose forgiveness on the players as the only option to get a good ending (as happened with the after ending of V).

Geez, didn't they see that Saeyoung didn't choose to forgive anyone? MC never says they forgive anyone in AE (here we were allowed to be neutral and in the end it will be our choice to forgive or not to forgive but we are never forced to go towards an extreme we don't like), even RFA, they have their own feelings about it, they felt disappointed by V and Rika. They are not that explicit but they imply that their friendship with them is over.... and it's wrong if they don't forgive them? of course not! If that's how they feel and they find another way to be at peace without an apology in between that's fine! And if they choose to do otherwise that's also very well. It is their choice.

They are within their rights to choose how they feel and how they want to move forward. Saeran made his choice, Saeyoung made his choice, RFA made their choice.... You can make your choice too. No one here is wrong, the only thing that will always be very wrong is judging others because they made a different choice than you, man it doesn't affect you. what's the problem? You don't have to agree but remember to respect others choices just like your choices should also be respected.

I've said the same thing over and over again since the After Ending came out. I think the struggle for some people comes from the basic understanding of what it means to forgive. It seems like a lot of folks view this as a black-and-white situation wherein saying that you will forgive someone means that you're saying what happened to you is now water under the bridge and you're willing to open your life up to that person. But, that's only one kind of forgiveness and acceptance.

There are hundreds more and it depends on what feels right to you that changes that outcome. Everyone has to decide what they'll get out of a situation like this. Do you want an apology? Do you want to say you forgive them to find closure? Is forgiveness asking for a way to see them again? Do you want to hold onto your feelings? Do you want nothing to do with them ever again?

All of these and more are included in the realm of your feelings. You have to choose what feels right. For Saeran, forgiveness was a way to eventually forgive himself. Choosing to forgive his abusers gave him a pathway to forgive himself for what he did to the members of the RFA, and more importantly, his MC. He wants nothing to do with V, Rika, or his father. But, finding peace was seeing them one last time to finish that chapter.

Saeyoung isn't forgiving anyone. He will hate them until the day he dies and beyond. He holds grudges and it won't hinder him in any healing process to feel that way. He's not hurting himself and he isn't hurting anyone else by hating them for what they did. He's allowed to feel that way. Just like Saeran is allowed to feel his way.

The RFA has its own feelings, which are even more varied than Saeran and Saeyoung. That's what's beautiful about that ending. There are no more secrets and everyone has the choice to decide what they want to do going forward and nobody shames them for those feelings. Just as it should be. If you don't want to forgive Rika, V, or Saejoong, don't.

Don't forgive them.

But, don't shame anyone else who chose to do so. Saeran isn't stupid or wrong for choosing what he did. He did what felt to him and we're all entitled to do the same for ourselves. That's the beauty of free will and that's what he deserves. What we all deserve.

I played V's After Ending again... Don't know how many times I've come back to Mystic Messenger just for more suffering. I can never escape from this angst hell, sigh. OTL

People weren't kidding when they said the Forgive End is really easy to get. 3 years ago I got it without relying on guide, 3 years later I still get stuck in it... Gosh I tried to be hostile to Rika as much as possible but I messed up JUST because I chose the choices that express concern for the Choi twins. I hate that in order to get the Judge End, you'll need to be a bitch with V (burn his letters, suspect V of rescuing Rika, talk about burning his possessions one by one if he doesn't come back in a year...), ignore the members' mental health, i.e. don't ask about Saeran, don't worry for Saeyoung, don't comfort Yoosung... In other words, don't be a freaking normal human being and just seething with anger. This is no difference from Rika, and that's not what I wanted. Why is it so hard to throw her to jail?

What funny is that I remembered choosing a lot of "harsh" options about Rika in my first playthrough, such as: interrupting her self-pity party, expressing the desire to bring her to court, i.e. refusing to be guilt tripped, which should lead to Jugde End, but the game still decided I would forgive her...? Wth I never knew I was such an angel to Rika? :) And this time in the first episode, I only got 6 or 7 choices 'wrong'. Why am I still end up forgiving her? OTL I know that each episode is short, it's not a whole day so every choice counts, but isn't this proves how much Cheritz wants us to forgive Rika? Some of the choices that lead to Judge End - which is treated as bad end - was like: 'She’s not wandering about our sight to make us feel sorry for her and forgive her, is she? '; 'That’s right. Some people need stop doing wrong things unless they’re properly judged.'; 'That’s nothing compared to what she’s done.'; 'All of those bad things happened because of Rika.'; 'I wish we could get rid of her quickly and return to our happy lives.'; 'Couldn’t you tell us sooner? ' (About Saeran might be alive); 'Don’t stand there crying. This is all because of you.'; 'You’ve already chosen to be a parent. You have no excuse to make up excuses.'; 'Wherever he is, he’ll never get to see you again.' Cheritz please reminds me why are they bad again? =.= These options speak nothing but the truth in my eyes.

And I notice even though sometimes there are more than 2 options, but according to the guide I read, the third option (or even fourth?) is lean towards either judge or forgive (with more than half of it goes to 'forgive'), it's not truly neutral. I would have love a third ending where you get to yell at Rika for being a bitch like she is, then have the option to forgive her and she still gets her redemption arc in jail heh. _(:3」∠)_ Cuz rather than Judge and Forgive, it's more like Cheritz wants to slap us with the label "Blame or Forget". =.=

Anyway, I think I gotta farm some HGs and reset this After Ending, cause I'm starting to like the Judge End more and can't stand having this Episode 1 remain as 'forgive'. I already gave up the idea of romancing V after his route, only wanted to stay friends with him, so I can't be bothered even if MC and V don't get married in Judge End. Not to mention the child that came out of nowhere, I didn't even turn 20 when his AE came out, for crying out loud! Even if there's a 5 years time skip, MC having a child is still a bit too much for me.

Omg, rfa + minor trio are here again. I almost droped my phone lmao... Can we have rfa + minor trio reactions when police brings their teenage child home? Thank you and take care!

RFA + Minor Duo’s teenage child being brought home by the police

As soon as I read this request I thought ,,yeah, this is just what I want write about!’’ thank you for your request! I hope I can make you happy! Please enjoy! And yes, ahaha, I am always good for a surprise! Let’s welcome the Minor Duo/ Trio again!

Vanderwood’s child being brought home by the police

Jumin

,,You really should send someone,’’ you mumbled, almost begging your husband.

The problem was that your oldest son, who was sixteen, didn’t want to become the new CEO in line. Instead, he wanted to go into show business, something Jumin didn’t want to let happen.

The amounts of arguments in the house were so many, that you lost count.

But as a mother, you were your son’s side.

,,No, I don’t care,’’ Jumin mumbled.

,,Does he really think that music will provide him with food, warm clothes, and a future forever?’’ he asked you.

,,Well, you could also lose the company, you know…’’ you mumbled, getting a cold look.

Suddenly the door rang, making your second daughter open the door.

,,Uhm, Mom,’’ the fourteen year old called you.

It was 10 pm. when two police officers stood there, your boy between them.

,,We caught him stealing,’’ one of them said.

And after Jumin thanked them and gave them so much money, that they would never ever speak up again, he was ready to scold your son if you didn’t protect him.

,,I DID THIS BECAUSE I WANT TO CHANGE MY FATE! I’M NOT YOUR DOLL!’’ he hissed.

Jumin was speechless, and before he could act, your daughter helped you.

,,I will be the CEO in line. Have some faith in me,’’ she said.

,,Hyung is happier when he’s doing music, not working on your projects. I, on the other hand, love it a lot,’’ she said, solving almost every problem...

Zen

You and your husband were enjoying the day with your newborn when someone rang at the door.

Looking at the clock, you knew that it couldn’t have been your oldest daughter who was supposed to still be at school, however, you were wrong.

,,Mom…’’ the young lady began to sob, jumping into your arms.

,,What happened?’’ Zen asked, when he looked over to his little girl.

,,She was robbed in the middle of the street.

Thank god people were there to help, but she got a little hurt. However, she didn’t want to go to the hospital and instead demanded to be brought home,’’ the other police officer said.

,,I was so scared,’’ she sobbed as she cried into your chest, your hands slowly patting her back in a rhythm to calm her down.

Zen thanked the police officer and then closed the door, hugging his girl as she kept crying.

That night, the three of you slept together in a bed even though she was already so old…

Zen even put his pride aside and asked Jumin Han to give her a few of his bodyguards.

After all, the safety of his family was his first priority.

Yoosung

,,I don’t know what to do anymore,’’ Yoosung sobbed.

It has been three years ever since you died, taking two of your children with you.

It was supposed to be a happy day when suddenly he simply got a call, the call about your death.

It took him a long time to overcome this pain, especially because he still had a son he had to raise.

Everyone tried to support Yoosung, but the young boy he had to raise without a mother began to feel the cold.

He began to miss you, the motherly figure he longed for.

Yoosung’s son was just sixteen when he first got accused of a few bad things. People visited him almost weekly to make sure that the family problems would be solved soon.

However, nothing helped.

,,I don’t need you, old idiotic father!’’ Yoosung’s son yelled.

,,WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?! I WANT AN APOLOGY!’’ he hissed.

,,You?! An apology?!’’ he laughed.

,,You fucking let them kill my mother and my sisters. You didn’t do anything good in life, you studied to save some stray dogs, and let my mother die like one,’’ he laughed.

Yoosung slapped his son and panted in rage.

,,Your mother would be disappointed in you,’’ he whispered.

,,You have no right to say that!’’ and with that, Yoosung’s son disappeared into the night, leaving Yoosung alone for a while until he gathered his strength and called Seven, who immediately searched for the young boy.

However, this wasn’t needed after half an hour when the door rang.

,,Mr Kim, we will need to put your son in jail. We need to talk,’’ the police officer said.

Yoosung, however, knew that whatever happened, he wouldn’t let them take the last memento of you...

Jaehee

You always thought that you and Jaehee managed to have your own little, happy family, without anyone hurting you guys.

However, you were wrong.

And neither you or Jaehee knew how wrong you were until the door rang and your son entered with two police officers.

The shop was closed and you and your wife were actually planning a special for your coffee shop when your life was turned upside down.

,,Kang Jaehee and Kang Mc?’’ they asked before they received the response that they were right.

,,We brought your son home,’’ the police officer said, letting the young boy go in.

,,HUH?”’ you gasped, checking if the boy you were raising into a good man was hurt.

,,He was the criminal. I think the family of the boy he hit will drag you into court. You should be prepared,’’ he said and went away, leaving you and Jaehee alone.

It didn’t take long before your son broke down. He was pretty fragile even though he just caused a problem.

,,I’m so sorry,’’ he sobbed and went on his knees, covering his face in his hand.

,,They made fun of me because I have two moms. At first… at first I didn’t care. Even when they called our shop disgusting, I didn’t care.

But when they called you disgusting… I just...I-’’

Immediately you hugged him, kissing his cheek.

,,You were hurt… you felt attacked. It’s not nice to use violence, but you’re a victim too… we will handle it…’’

Saeyoung

,,I can’t believe you stole something,’’ you sobbed as you watched your daughter.

She was currently in her rebellious phase.

,,Me neither. I mean, how many times did I teach you where the CCTV is? At least you could have-’’

You didn’t even let your husband finish as you hit him on his shoulder.

,,DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?! YOUR DAUGHTER DID SOMETHING ILLEGAL!’’ you hissed.

,,And you, young lady! I am so disappointed in you! Go up to your room, give me your phone, laptop, and iPad and write a letter of apology to the shop owner!

And then, later, I want to know how in the world you came to this stupid idea!’’ you hissed and turned around.

Your daughter was just brought home after the police caught her stealing, or trying to steal, a CD.

,,And you,’’ you hissed ,,don’t support her on these things!’’ you warned him.

After a bit you went up to your daughter and sat next to her.

The first few minutes, both of you didn’t say anything until she began to cry and went into your embrace.

,,Will you tell mommy now why you did that…?’’ you asked her.

Saeran

You were still in bed sleeping when the door rang.

Since you were in your last week of pregnancy with the third child, Saeran let you stay in bed and instead opened the door.

,,What-’’ he couldn’t believe what his eyes saw.

,,Sorry, dad…’’ his young daughter mumbled, her black jacket brown by now.

,,What happened?’’ he asked the police officer.

His daughter actually told him yesterday that she would sleep at her best friend’s house, but now police officers were dragging her home?

,,Mr Choi, we found her drunk on the street. We actually first brought her to the hospital and didn’t call you to not cause a false alarm, and also because she said that her mother was pregnant and didn’t want to shock her too much.

Luckily nothing happened and a young woman called for help when she was found.

We beg you to keep an eye on her and call this number if you ever need help,’’ the kind officer said.

Saeran bowed to thank the officer and then let his daughter in.

,,I am so...angry and disappointed that you lied to us. Go and take a shower, I will wake up your mom so that we can talk about this,’’ he said and went straight to your shared bedroom, where you first began to cry while he tried to calm down. 

Memories came up, he didn’t want his daughter to end up like her, like his mother.

But then you had a good talk with her and decided to call help to support your daughter as best as possible...

Jihyun

,,Did you really break into the park for pictures?’’ you asked your son who nodded..

He explained that the stars and the shining lights were just too beautiful for him to ignore so he just had to go and see them.

,,And… oh dear, you know that it will be registered forever?!’’ you asked him.

Lucy was next to you.

She watched her brother as she tried to calm you.

,,Yes, but I couldn’t stop myself, mom. I’m sorry,’’ he mumbled.

,,We could have gone together while they were open,’’ Lucy commented.

,,I didn’t want any people in my pictures,’’ he commented and looked at his dad, who stayed silent the whole time.

,,Jihyun, it’s your fault for making him crazy about art! You need to tell him what’s right and what’s wrong!’’ you hissed and shook your head.

Together with Lucy you left the room, thinking on what to do next.

,,I know, how it feels,’’ Jihyun said when you were gone, making the young boy look up.

,,It’s wrong, but at the same time, it feels so right that nothing can stop you from doing it. I know it, especially with art.

I believe that this was an experience you had to learn. For the future, keep doing things like that, but instead of going in even though it’s closed, call me or Jumin. We will find a way. Always,’’ he laughed and patted his back.

,,Now, show me the pics!’’

day 3: no one’s gonna wait for you

Here’s day 3 of the Human Again prompts. For the master list of all the ficlets, click here.

Technically SaeyoungXReader, but this one’s really about the brothers.

T (referenced violence), words: 1321

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜

Blue light and the familiar feeling of his favorite keyboard under his fingers.

This feels…normal.

For the first time in a while, Saeyoung is in his office. He’s spent years taking and re-making and destroying other people’s data. It feels so strange, this time, to be destroying his own.

He pushes himself back and forth in his chair with one foot as he types. It won’t take all that long to erase every trace of himself from the agency’s system—this kind of thing is like nothing for him. He’s not sure why he’s been putting it off.

“Hey.”

A quiet voice from the door startles him—he finds that he’s being taken by surprise a lot, lately—and he spins his chair around.

His twin is standing in the doorway, leaning a little awkwardly against the frame. Saeyoung notices he’s changed his clothes, and he realizes it’s the first time he’s seen Saeran in anything other than a hospital gown or his clothes from Mint Eye. The first time in years, anyway.

“Hi,” Saeyoung responds, matching his brother’s level tone of voice. He spent years in the agency learning how to meet people at their level—how to mold himself to fit any situation, and how to use that to his advantage. It was never hard for him before. Now, with his own brother, the stakes are so much higher.

“What are you doing?” asks Saeran, and Saeyoung notices that his voice catches in his throat. This is hard for him.

But he’s here. Talking to me.

Saeyoung represses the feeling of glee that surges within him. Stay calm. Stay level-headed. Don’t be a total weirdo and freak him out and make him never want to talk to you ever again.

“Are you hacking?” Saeran asks, and Saeyoung realizes he hasn’t said anything yet. He hesitates, going over his options in his mind. His first instinct is to lie, to rush Saeran out of the room and away from the computers and this shitty, stupid job, as far away as possible from the life that Saeyoung never wanted for him.

Saeyoung’s an excellent liar. He’s been doing it for years.

And how well has that worked out for you with him so far?

Saeyoung’s fingers inadvertently drift to his neck, still purpled from his brother’s hands. It’s only been a few days since the last time his brother tried to kill him. It’s only been a few days since Saeran agreed to maybe start trying to believe some of what Saeyoung had to say.

Don’t let him down.

“Yeah,” he says finally, carefully avoiding his brother’s penetrating green eyes. “I’m, uh—just finishing some things up with my old job.”

Saeran raises his eyebrows.

“I thought you weren’t doing that anymore,” he says stiffly. “She said…”

He trails off, and Saeyoung is surprised to hear Saeran reference you at all. He’s never once looked at you since leaving Mint Eye for the last time—whenever you’d come into his hospital room, he’d mostly pretended to be asleep.

“You’re right,” says Saeyoung. “I’m not. I’m, um. Erasing it all. Me. Her. Vanderwood.” He hesitates. “You.”

For a split second, Saeran’s eyes widen, and he looks almost surprised. Then his gaze hardens.

“You don’t have to erase me,” he says harshly. “If anybody finds me, I deserve whatever I get.”

Saeyoung hates this, hates it so much, wants to tell his brother sweet lies like he used to, once to assure him that no one’s coming for him, he’s done nothing wrong, he’ll be safe no matter what.

He knows better now.

“I know you feel that way,” he says carefully. “I’ve felt that way too, lots of times. But please—let me just give us a fresh start.”

Saeran pauses, and Saeyoung isn’t sure if he’s going to demand that Saeyoung stay out of his business, or storm out of the room, or even lunge at him again. Saeyoung feels that he deserves any of these responses. He almost smiles at the thought—for better or worse, they have so much in common.

“Let me help,” says Saeran finally.

“Huh?” Saeyoung is so surprised he nearly falls from his chair. He catches himself, wanting nothing less than to look like a fool in front of his brother.

“I can probably do it faster than you can,” Saeran says, finally crossing the threshold and stepping into Saeyoung’s office. Suddenly, Saeyoung is self-conscious—of the code on the screen, of his stupid, childish decorations, of the general clutter. Saeran would never just leave piles of crap everywhere like this, he finds himself thinking. He almost tries to block the screen with his body, but catches himself.

He’s trying, Saeyoung reminds himself. He’s really trying right now. For god’s sake, let him.

“You having to learn this stuff…,” he starts, trying to decide how honest he wants to be. “It makes me…I never wanted—”

“Don’t,” says Saeran firmly, and some of the aggression that Saeyoung has become accustomed to is back in his voice. Saeyoung shuts up.

Wordlessly, Saeran pulls over Saeyoung’s other chair and slips into it. He scans the code on the screen with practiced eyes. Saeyoung is torn between admiration and disgust. He’d only agreed to do this work on the condition that Saeran would never have to stoop to this level. If he’d known what was really happening for all those years…

“Here, this will work better,” Saeran says, and his voice tugs Saeyoung out of his pit of guilt. Saeran slides his chair over and types a few lines and Saeyoung watches, his breath catching in his throat. “What?” demands Saeran, not looking at his brother as he types. He was right, Saeyoung thinks—his way is faster.

“Sorry,” Saeyoung mutters. Honesty. “It makes me feel like crap watching you do this. I’m never going to forgive myself for everything that’s happened to you.”

Saeran types for a moment, his expression unreadable. Then he pauses, hands poised over the keyboard. He types like I do, Saeyoung thinks. Fast, like he’s running for his life—then a complete standstill.

“Look,” Saeran says finally, fixing Saeyoung with his piercing eyes, which Saeyoung continues to find both comforting and frightening. “I haven’t forgiven you, either.”

Saeyoung swallows. He knows this.

“But you weren’t ever going to be able to protect me,” Saeran continues. “That’s not how it works. That’s not the world we were born into. No one was ever going to come save us. We were always going to have to do it ourselves.”

Saeyoung doesn’t know what to say. He’s spent his whole life thinking he was subjecting himself to the loneliest life possible in order to protect his brother from the same fate. He’s always seen himself as the protector, the one who could keep Saeran safe from the harsh realities of the world.

But Saeran is right, of course. There were no saviors, no heroes. Just the two of them.

“Thanks,” says Saeyoung. He knows his brother is trying to let him off the hook, a little bit. He doesn’t deserve it. But it fills him with warmth all the same.

Saeran makes a disgruntled face and turns back to the computer. Saeyoung smiles at the back of his head.

Saeran strikes a few more keys, and the program runs. Saeyoung laughs.

“I’m supposed be the best in the industry, you know,” he says, somewhat weakly.

“I wasn’t in “the industry,” Saeran responds. He doesn’t look at his brother, but Saeyoung thinks he sees a ghost of a smile cross his lips.

Saeyoung’s phone buzzes; reflexively, he checks it. Saeran pointedly doesn’t look.

It’s you, of course. 

How are you? you ask. How is he? Saeyoung’s heart pounds. Oh, how he misses you.

I’m good, he types back with one hand, not taking his eyes off his brother. We’re good. 

He means it.

Mystic Messenger Saeran’s AE Thoughts (.......And Prayers..) #Spoilerz

Hello, I just finished Saeran’s after ending and I have a lot of things to say and I am going to write it down while I'm still all keyed up about it.

First of all… Please DO NOT ask me how much money I spent to finish this as fast as I did…. I’m grown but my bank account is certainly going to have a good ole fashioned CHUCKLE at this….. It’s been a long quarantine I deserve a lil happiness as a treat methinks!

I have been playing this absolutely insane game since I think 2016? When I first started playing the deep routes had JUST come out I think? And I was just finishing up high school and am now a college grad...lmao

I’ve played all routes at least once except Jaehee but i’ve seen walkthroughs of her route (I’ve heard it makes you hate Jumin and he’s my favorite so um. hehe). V’s and Saeran’s routes I found to be so emotionally intense and just….a lot and I've been waiting a long ass god damn time for this after ending okay…. I would theorize and make up an ending in my head but i’m no writer so it was hard to figure out lol. I’m a Jumin stan mostly but I love everybody and yeah I should probably play that jumin dlc too but I need like a DAY to recover from Saeran’s AE. Enough about me HERE are my thoughts on it overall

Major Saeran AE Spoilers under da cut!

Can we please discuss V showing up to the C+R conference room with basically chloroform and made everybody Pass Out like??? I was alone in my room at like midnight just SCREAMING at my phone???? And the creepy ass CG ???? It’s like that gif of sarah paulson from ahs being like “I put arsenic in the wine….and the pasta”

Anyway I screamed at V a lot during this process!!

Loved RFA being sweet and kind to saeran (before V fucking drugged them…)

This is such common V behavior “I have to do it all myself...there’s no other way..” GIRL SHUT UPPP You do this every route....

SO many CG’s and I enjoy them a lot

Saeran’s sprite looks a little TOO crisp compared to everyone else but maybe its a glitch??? V next to him is in 480p while saeran is like 1080p

Hearing both Saeran and Saeyoung missing the other brother the whole time??? PAIN. All my homies know is PAIN

BOSS and his V for Vendetta ass guy fawkes mask??? I literally yelled “this game is TERRIBLE!!” several times at my phone

Their dad is so>??????? When he was sitting on the couch with saeyoung in that one CG while simultaneously telling him to kill himself?????????? Maybe chairman han is actually the best dad in this game somehow

When V and Rika were like we’re back together teehee teehee okay pack it up bonnie and clyde ..

When chairman han calls u and says hes jealous of u and saeran…..HUH????? I’m calling HR

When they go to the apartment and see boss and vanderwood and poor saeyoung is sitting there seeing his brother for the first time in years i wanted to D word sooooo bad like PAIN...PAIN….

Can we HAVE A DISCUSSION ABOUT JUMIN HAN BEING THE BEST CHARACTER IN THE GAME AND HE LOST EVERYTHING IN THIS AE……. he just took the blame and moved on jumin what the hell….. I love him so much r we serious? He watched his 2 closest friends betray him in the worst way and found out abt how Rika abused Saeyoung and Saeran???? I felt just AWFUL. Terrible ...Terrible….

Rika’s change in demeanor from Saeran's actual route is certainly a Choice. I find her much more bearable this time around and unfortunately i think I was too nice to her and ended up with a bad end LMFAO

I was happy to see Saeran stand up for himself and become stronger and confident. You go king!

The CG of Yoosung laying in Zen’s lap is everything to me…

HOWEVER YUP I sure did get a bad ending and I was so mad fdsafdskfdhsf ! (I would be happy to clarify how I got the good one the second time.) MAKE SURE To SAVE EARLY in days 2 and 3 bc the branches on day 4 is where the bad end will show up. For me it was the first day 4 chat and then a story mode titled “SAVIOR”.... If you see that RUN FOR THE HILLS!!

I was so mad! But I had saved in day 2 and replayed and MANAGED to get good end

I’m obsessed with everyone calling V and Rika “that psychotic couple” like…..its true its true…

No those two are so toxic… V’s route was torture watching them go on and on about the sun like yo can yall just call each other babe like normal people.

I respect straight people but not V and RIka that shit was just wrong… Straight marriage was a mistake

Oh lord i also FULLY Forgot Rika killed the twins’ mother…. Yeah that scene was um Certainly a lot but it needed to happen eventually

Like it’s good they know but damn that storyline is just so bleak

I think it was satisfying TO A DEGREE….To see Rika understand where she was wrong, why she was wrong, fess up and even APOLOGIZE! I was very surprised.

Saeran and Saeyoung are Certainly twins with the amount that those two self sacrifice in every route MY GOD…..

The scene with Jumin talking to his father and the other scene of him praying oh my god I cannot tell you how happy I was to see him begin to understand and address his own feelings in a route that was not his own. My main problem with Jumin’s route has always been the trapping MC in his penthouse aspect.. This way Jumin understands love and emotions without being overly possessive !!! YAY also loved seeing him be on good terms with his dad who was surprisingly profound

That last Story mode was Really a Lot…. and Strange things occurred which I will get into in just a minute

Jumin becoming a politician is so funny but ngl … i see it.

Yoosung going to france to study pastries ok king I see u! (it made more sense to me than the vet thing anyway)

Lastly Zen FURRY ERA

MY BEEF With the AE

I was happy with how they handled it for the most part. I think Cheritz heard our feedback about V’s after ending and was like okay….let’s try something different

HOWEVER

Saeran…. Sweet kind saeran… IS SO AFFECTIONATE HAHA….

He must have said I love you like 300 times…..very mushy gushy flowery language...and maybe that’s just his personality but for me it was like eating cake with buttercream cake. It means well, but god damn is it sugary and going to cause a stomach ache later.

He was just… SO MUCH! SO forward and ON all the time in his affections. I honestly felt kind of smothered and by day 3 and 4 I was sooooo over all the compliments… King you’ve come a very long way, but ur still putting MC on a pedestal and probably need to see a therapist.

Nextly….Rika and V….. Naw that knock out gas really ...that hurt lol. Coming from “I would do anything to protect RFA” V? Idk like…. EYE felt betrayed reading that. It was just hurtful. I can’t even imagine how the members would have felt as they were passing out. It was just so cruel. I suppose I understand why but like?? Just TERRIBLE

Them being in cahoots with the agency and the prime minister..HUH??? Also too much

V just felt so irresponsible like I do understand that he ended up in a weird web of secrets that’s hard to untangle but he’s so fucking stubborn he’s SO stubborn it makes me insane. Like sir… It seems like in other routes he wanted to try to protect Rika and the RFA.. But in this AE it seems more to me that he was like yeah i’m protecting Rika and That’s It… so fucking hurtful to me. Both of y’all apologize ESPECIALLY to the twins and Jumin..

The forgiveness thing…… Okay so I think some people will not like that Saeran decided to “forgive” the people who hurt him (Rika, V, Saejoong, his mother). I would point out that I actually think this was approached somewhat well. He says at one point that he doesn’t think they’re good or bad, just people. I think he sounded mature and like this was the way for him personally to accomplish his healing process. Would I have loved for Saeran to flip V and Rika off and kick Saejoong off a cliff? Yea I really would. But like…. If that’s what HE needs to do to heal then who am I to judge?

HOWEVER…. Everything Eye just said goes out the window when the scenes at the end with Saejoong come up… I was PERPLEXED. Like why did he HUG his deranged father who just kicked the shit out of him??? Also all the chat options that MC has with him r like blah blah you’re like this because no one loves you were so corny to me LMFAOOOO?

AND WHEN HE WAS IN THE ROOM LATER WITH SAERAN… i’m sorry but if that were me I would have called a nurse to deck his ass. Cool he turned himself in YOU SUCK SOOOO BAD AND I NEVER WANT YOU TO COME NEAR SAEYOUNG AND SAERAN AGAIN THANKS.

*scratches ass* I wish I got to see saeyoung and saeran finally sit down and have that first conversation after a long time and hug CG but the ending was fine I GUESS….. I dont care about ROMANCE I want those boys to be happy brothers together

Anyway that was really emotionally exhausting but I fr think I got it out of my system after literal years… And I can rest in peace knowing the choi twins are happy. THATS ALL I WANTED TO KNOW!!!!

[mysticm3ss]

Could u pls write headcanons/a fanfic about RFA+(V & Saeran if u want to) getting MC pregnant but MC tries to hide her pregnancy (for any reason) and around 3 months later when her stomach starts to grow RFA find her pregnancy test hidden away somewhere and confront her about it. I know u already wrote a headcanon about their kids but I just love any sort of headcanon/fanfic about baby’s and pregnancy’s yknow. Btw I love your requests broski. Your a good writer. Sorry if my English not good lol

sure thing, thank you for requesting and thank you for the compliments! don’t worry your english is perfect! 

so i wrote this literally months ago and forgot it was in my drafts, i’m sorry it’s taken so long to get up!! i rly enjoyed proofreading this bc i’m studying developmental psyc at uni right now and it’s lowkey giving me mad baby fever lmao

(leaving out jaehee for this one bc she ain’t out here getting anyone pregnant, like even if she had a penis she’d be too responsible for that to happen unless it was planned anyway let’s b real. also i varied the way the boys found out a bit as well just so things don’t get too repetitive, hope that’s okay!) 

Yoosung:

The thing you have to know about Yoosung is that he is very small and has no money, so you can only imagine the stress he’s under~

Jokes aside, when you realise you’re pregnant, your first reaction is panic.

You and your boyfriend are both so young–you’re not even old enough to have graduated college yet, how are you going to take care of a child?

It takes you a solid month or two just to come to terms with the pregnancy yourself.

When you finally think you’re feeling brave enough to bring it up to him, the thought of what his family might think acts as another hindrance–he seemed to have a perfect family, and Yoosung himself had admitted they were somewhat conservative… how would they react to your situation?

While you’re busy still coming to terms with it, however, Yoosung accidentally stumbles upon the pregnancy test you had so cleverly hidden in the bathroom cabinet.

You’d slipped it into a box of toiletries, snugly hidden between the myriad of tampons and pads that it held. When Yoosung accidentally knocked it from the cabinet, he scrambled to tidy up, cheeks flushed with embarrassment as he tucked away the sanitary products.

He froze when he saw the test, mind whirring as he struggled to explain away the white stick in his hand.

There was no explaining away those two pink lines, however, and so that night, he dared to broach the subject with you.

He fiddled nervously with his hands as he sat on your shared bed, eyes looking everywhere except your face when you entered the room.

“Yoosung… is everything okay?”

A shaky breath. “MC… are you… you’d tell me if something big happened, right? Like… like if you got pregnant or something?”

The guilt-ridden look on your face was all the answer he needed.

Your eyes welled up, and Yoosung’s arms were instantly around you, pulling you against him as he squeezed you tight despite his own shock.

“MC, why wouldn’t you tell me? How long?” His words were soft; gentle whispers into your ear as his fingers combed through your hair.

When you explained your worries, Yoosung’s heart instantly melted, and he felt guilty that he’d never realised what you’d been going through the past few months.

“Don’t worry about my family, MC– don’t worry about anything at all. I love you, and I love this baby, and we’re going to be so happy, okay? I’m right here, cutie, I’m right here…”

And though your face was buried in his shirt, Yoosung could still feel your smile.

Zen:

We all know that Zen is super-focussed on his career, and in turn, works long hours with early starts and late finishes.

His busy schedule and blooming career is the first thing to cross your mind as you stare at the two glaring pink lines on your pregnancy test.

How were you going to tell him? How would he react? His career was just beginning to take off… what if he didn’t want children so soon?

How were you supposed to deal with that..?

And so, spiralling into uncertainty, you decide to put off telling him for as long as possible; to enjoy your relationship for what it was now, in case it all fell apart.

As a result of Zen’s schedule, it’s not too gruelling to hide your pregnancy from your boyfriend.

You usually wake up to brutal morning sickness hours after he’s already left for work, and your fluctuating hormones generally only make their presence known while you’re on your own.

Regardless, Zen is extremely observant, especially when it comes to his jagiya.

He idly notices that you’ve gained weight, but he’d never bring it up; he honestly doesn’t care, so long as you’re healthy, which you certainly seem to be with how radiant you’ve been the past couple of months.

He does, however, notice that you’re keeping something from him. As to what, he’s not sure.

Zen trusts you wholly and completely, so it doesn’t even cross his mind that you could be hiding anything too big from him (at least, at first).

He figures that maybe you’re just planning a surprise for him, as he’s done a number of times for you in the past few years that the two of you have been dating.

When he comes back early one evening to see that you’re not at home, he sets about making dinner for the two of you and decides to get a head start on the chores.

He knows that he’s slacked off on his household duties lately, and the least he can do is pick up a few now that he has some time at home so that you don’t have to worry about them later.

While your favourite meal is warming on the stove, Zen strips the bed of sheets and gathers your dirty laundry into the hamper. 

When he returns with a load of freshly dried clothes, he begins to pack them away. As he folds your underwear and tucks them into the drawer, he notices what seems to be a piece of paper peeking out from beneath the neatly folded fabric.

Confused, he pulls it out, his breath catching as he sees the ultrasound.

He reads your name and the date over and over, unable to even comprehend that you could keep something like this from him.

He’s crushed that you hadn’t told him, and immediately falls into denial.

This has to be a prank, right? MC would never keep something like this from me…

He’s still frozen, sonogram clutched in hand, when you arrive home.

Zen looks up at you, eyes pleading and face soft with vulnerability as he wordlessly begs an explanation.

“…MC?”

His voice is so quiet and broken that it kills you.

You gently explain that it’s real; that this isn’t a tasteless prank but, in fact, reality. Zen takes a deep breath to steel himself.

“Why wouldn’t you tell me? Don’t you think I’d want to be there, especially for this?” he demands, voice ringing with pain and rising in anger as he holds up the sonogram still crinkled in his fist. 

It takes a bit of explaining on your part, but Zen’s hot temper gets the best of him as he shakes his head and turns away from you. Tears prick your eyes.

“Don’t you see, Zen? This is what I was afraid of!” Your voice cracks, and Zen spares a glance back at you, immediately softening as he sees your glistening eyes and the tears beginning to stain your cheeks.

“MC… I love you. I love this baby. I’d never leave, you know that, don’t you, jagi?” His voice is hushed, his heart breaking as he leans in to brush a tear from your face with his thumb.

“You can’t keep things like this from me, princess… not something this big. If you’re worried, talk to me, okay? I’m in this with you. Forever, remember?”

His arms fall around your shoulders as he crushes you to his chest, before pulling away in panic.

“Crap! Was that too tight? Did I hurt the baby?!”

You laugh, and the sound is music to Zen’s ears as you drag him in for another hug.

Jumin:

When you wake up to a sudden wave of nausea, Jumin’s first reaction is concern.

“O-oh, it’s nothing, it must just be something I ate…”

“I see. I must speak with the chef who cooked for us last night, this is a disgusting oversight on his par-”

No Jumin don’t fire the chef ohmygod

You barely manage to calm Jumin down before you’re huddled over the toilet once more, and he lets all remaining traces of fury evaporate as he focusses on holding back your hair and rubbing your back soothingly.

All the while, your mind can’t help but dart back to the pregnancy test that you’d hidden at the bottom of the wastebasket.

You knew you couldn’t keep this a secret from your husband forever; and in your head, you knew that everything would work out just fine. It wasn’t like you couldn’t afford a child, you had more than enough money to provide for them, it was just…

The two of you hadn’t been together for that long; not really. And although that didn’t diminish your love for one another, it didn’t change the fact that Jumin was still just getting used to being emotionally vulnerable and opening himself up to other people.

Would children be too much, too quickly?

He’d never even expressed interest in having children before; he was far too occupied with you and your relationship, enjoying the joys of the present and letting the future bring what it may.

And although you manage to hide your continual morning sickness from him for a little while, you know that as soon as you start to show, you won’t be able to put it off any longer.

When you wake up feeling nauseous yet again, Jumin declares it the final straw.

“MC, you’re clearly ill. I’m phoning a doctor,” he says, voice stern and leaving no room for disagreement. “I should let Assistant Kang know that I won’t be in for work today…”

Your weak protests fall on deaf ears, and barely half an hour later, Jumin is opening the door…

You didn’t realise that “phoning a doctor” entailed bringing in a whole team of specialists in various medical fields.

They check your vitals, and when you hear them begin to murmur about blood tests, you break.

“Jumin, this isn’t necessary!”

“What? Of course it is–they can help, MC. There’s clearly something wrong-”

“Jumin, I’m pregnant!” you snap, the words falling from your lips before you can register their utterance. Jumin’s eyes widen, and he clears his throat as deafening silence falls over the room.

“Excuse us,” he manages, and the team of specialists quickly and awkwardly take their leave.

Honestly, he’s lowkey offended that you kept it from him.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” His voice is stiff and cold, and your heart sinks as you feebly attempt to explain.

“Do you honestly think so low of me? Do you truly not trust me, after everything that we’ve been through?” he asks, voice hard.

That’s when you start to cry.

Damn hormones!

Jumin immediately softens, pulling you into his arms.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry… you’re right. I do trust you, I swear, I was just… I was scared,” you finally managed, voice thick with tears.

And though it takes a little while, Jumin understands. And once the shock has faded, the small smile that tugs up the corner of his lips betrays the excitement that your news has brought him.

“We’ll have to start thinking of names, hmm?”

Seven:

You could hardly call the life that Seven led “safe.”

The risks that come with his job hardly provide an environment fit to raise a child, a thought that instantly flashed through your mind the instant you saw the two lines on the pregnancy test.

You swallow hard, hands shaking as you move to rest a hand over your stomach. If you had to guess, you’d wager that you were at least eight weeks along…

God, had Seven ever mentioned even wanting kids before?

But despite your worries, you couldn’t help but feel a flicker of delight at the idea of raising children with the man you loved so dearly.

Still, that didn’t mean you knew how to tell him.

Luckily, you had time. Seven had been sent on a mission for the agency only that morning, and he wouldn’t be back for at least a month.

Although the news had been initially devastating, you were half-beginning to consider it somewhat of a blessing in disguise… at least you could figure out how to break it to him now, right? It wasn’t like you could break news like that over the phone, after all.

When Seven does finally arrive home, he wastes no time in sweeping you into his arms and planting tiny kisses all across your cheeks, your nose, your forehead, drinking in your warmth and softness and desperately attempting to atone for all the time with you that he had missed.

After finally pulling away, Seven easily notices that you’ve gained weight–of course, he’d never mention it; you were always beautiful to him.

Regardless, he can’t help but observe that you really do seem to be glowing. 

Saeyoung knows you well enough to easily realise that you’re keeping something from him. He sees the nervous twitch of your fingers, the tightness of your smile…

And so, when the two of you cuddle up on the couch later that evening, Seven pressing kisses to your hair and clinging to you like a baby koala, he finally brings it up.

“Sooo… what aren’t you telling me, MC?” he asks, playfully poking your side despite the worry that claws at his chest.

What if they want to break up? Oh god, what if-

He finds himself so lost in his own concerns that when the words finally fall from your lips, it takes him a moment to process them.

“W-what?”

“I’m… I’m pregnant, Sae.”

You hold your breath, and only release it when you see the huge smile stretch over his face, brighter than the sun and just as warm.

And just like that, you know that everything is going to be just fine.

“If it’s a girl, can we name her Elizabeth?” “Seven nO-”

hope you enjoyed, please reblog/comment if you did! ^^

Yooran Week 2020

For @yooranweek2020

Not exactly fluff, but still....

Day 3: Kids/Pets

The hair on the back of his neck stood on end and he sniffed the air. It couldn’t be! Saeran turned in a circle, eyeing the children that surrounded him. The orphanage was not very large, yet it seemed that it was at capacity. The fact that so many children were in need of a home was disheartening. He caught the whiff again and homed in on the smell. It was easy to find the origin.

A small boy sat against the sandbox holding a yellow bouncy ball. His dark brown hair was cut short but jaggedly, as if someone who didn’t know how to cut hair had done it. The sun picked up some red hues in that hair. When the boy looked up Saeran was astounded by how big and dark his eyes were, a deep rich brown that surely looked black to anyone without a werewolf’s enhanced senses.

“Hi.” Saeran tried to smile as he took in long slow breathes through his nose. Yes, he hadn’t been wrong, the smell was definitely there.

The boy clutched the ball to himself and pulled up his knees, but his eyes never left Saeran.

“My name is Saeran, what’s yours?”

“Uh, K…K…Kino.” The boy’s voice was barely audible, even to Saeran’s keen ears.

“Nice to meet you Kino, how old are you?”

“F…five…I think.” His voice held more confidence and he visibly relaxed.

“Saeran! There you are.” Yoosung was walking up to him, the children playing in the courtyard all turned towards the blond, many with hope in their eyes. It was heartbreaking. A woman that appeared to be at least 70 years old with her white hair in a bun and librarian glasses on her nose walked behind him. The smell that came off her made Saeran’s nose wrinkle. If evil had a smell, that would be it. No, she wasn’t a mass murderer, but she wasn’t what she appeared to be either.

“This is Mrs. Kan, she’s the director. She says she has some children that meet our criteria.” Yoosung stopped and stared at the boy Saeran had been talking to. “Oh, hello.” Kino looked away and hunched over his ball again. Saeran sensed it was because of the woman and not his husband.

“Criteria?” Saeran questioned.

“Well, kind of I guess. She just asked me a lot of questions about what we were looking for in a child.” Yoosung shrugged and appeared a bit embarrassed.

“I wasn’t aware we were looking for something specific.” Saeran glared at the woman.

“No, of course not…ah…” Yoosung stumbled over his words. Saeran reached around his back and rested his hand on Yoosung’s hip, holding him close.

“I’m sure we can find you a suitable child. There are many varieties you can choose from, some, better than others.” Her tone was waspish as she looked down her sharp nose at Kino.

“We’d like to make that determination ourselves.” Saeran countered.

“As you wish. But there are those children that have a tendency to attract trouble.” Again she pointedly stared at the boy at Saeran’s feet. Leaving it at that, she turned and walked briskly away towards a small group of girls fighting over a doll.

“Varieties?” Saeran spat.

“I know, she’s…uh…I wasn’t…I mean.” Yoosung flushed.

“Hey, I know exactly what happened. She started asking you questions, reasonable ones in the beginning, until she had you saying which hair color, eye color, whatever, you preferred before you realized she sounded like she was compiling a shopping list you never intended.”

“Something like that, yes, wow…you should have been the one to talk to her.”

“No, I might have gone for her jugular! She has no business running an orphanage.” Saeran took Yoosung several feet away from the boy so he would not hear them.

“What is it?” Yoosung looked over Saeran’s shoulder at the boy and furrowed his brows.

“I’m almost 100% sure Kino is a werewolf.”

“Kino? Is that the boy’s name? Is that possible?”

“I don’t know. It shouldn’t be. He says he’s 5, pretty small for a human child of that age, let alone a werewolf.”

“So he was probably a runt?”

“Exactly.”

“I don’t understand though, why would they give him to an orphanage? If the boy doesn’t know what he is and puberty hits, there are going to be a lot of surprised, and possibly dead, people.”

“Yes, which makes no sense, if he was a runt, they would have just killed him. They would never have entrusted him to humans. It makes no sense, but my nose doesn’t lie.” Saeran turned and walked towards Mrs. Kan.

“Excuse me, but, can you tell me about Kino? What happened to his parents?” Saeran asked.

The woman’s eyebrows shot up and her jaw clenched as she once again glared at the boy, but she answered.

“We don’t know. The boy was found in the woods when he was about 2 by some hikers. They said they heard faint crying and found the boy, naked and barely alive. There were no traces of any other humans around him. Had they not come across him when they did, he would surely have died out there. The police were called in and they decided not to publicize the incident. They assumed if there were distraught parents, they would contact the authorities, and if the parents were the ones who left the child out there to die, well, the last thing they wanted was for them to realize they had not succeeded. They took DNA from the child just in case, but even the hunting dogs they took out there found not a single trace to follow.”

“I see, thank you.” Saeran pulled Yoosung away from the woman, the wheels in his head turning. “It makes sense. They left him out there to die, and the police were right, if they knew he had survived, they would have hunted him down and killed him. But…he…what he will become…”

“Are you sure he’ll turn?” Yoosung asked.

“It’s inevitable. He needs a pack if he’s going to survive.” Saeran cast his eyes down and bit his lower lip.

“It’s a good thing we have one then.” Yoosung tipped Saeran’s head up with his index finger and smiled.

“Are you sure? I know you wanted a younger child, and…I don’t want you to feel obligated…and…” Saeran babbled.

“Shut up! We said we would make the decision together and that’s what we’re doing. Out of all the children here that need good homes and a safe place, this one is the only one that only we can provide that for that nobody else can. Why would I turn away from that?” he reached around Saeran’s neck and gave him a quick kiss.

“I love you so much.” Saeran squeezed him close and Yoosung had to hit him on the shoulder to get him to let go because he couldn’t breathe. “Why don’t we talk to him and let him get to know us better, then we can talk to Mrs. Kan about a home visit.”

“Sounds good.”

“His eyes are gorgeous!” Yoosung exclaimed.

“He’s a good kid.”

“How do you know that?” Yoosung asked.

“I just do, but he’s afraid, we’ll have to be gentle. And I know you can do that better than anyone else, after all, you tamed me didn’t you?” Saeran grinned and slapped Yoosung on the butt. Yoosung squeaked but smiled knowingly.

Catching Feelings Ch. 2 Seven/MC College AU

Awhile ago I was requested by @navarr0landia write a continuation of my College AU I started during Saeyoung week this year (which I was low key looking for the extra push to do anyway so thanks!) 

So here it is! Part 2 of what I am now calling Catching Feelings: 

AO3 Link  (Check here for warning/tags)

BEEP BEEP BEEP

The shrill sound of MC's alarm pierces through her slumber bringing her to consciousness, much to her dismay.

"Ughhh." She groans as the full weight of her headache is realized as soon as she moves to tap the snooze button on her phone. She groans again, smothering her face into the pillow desperate to sink back into sleep. There are no hangovers in dreamland.

Of course exactly 10 minutes later - BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.

This time MC doesn't mess around with the snooze button, it's too early and her head hurts way too much for this right now, her morning class is just not going to happen. She grasps desperately at sleep again.

She's not sure how much later it is but begins to hear Mei rustle around the room, getting ready for class and then the light turns on. MC groans again and pulls and blankets up over her head in protest.

"How are you feeling there, Sunshine?" Her roommate asks.

"Mmmm" MC groans miserably in response. "Why did I let you take me to a party on a weeknight?"

Her roommate laughs quietly. "You should be thanking me."

"For what?!" MC asks incredulously.

"You seriously don't remember? Maaaaybe you should check your phone that's been going off for the past hour." Mei says before the bathroom door clicks closed.

Why? MC thinks in response pulling her phone off her nightstand and under her little blanket tent.  It's not like anyone ever texts…me? She thinks as she sees seven new messages from "Saeyoung (Crazy Cat Guy)"

"Oh, shit." She mutters as memories from the night before - as well as a healthy dose of embarrassment - flood in. Parts of the night are definitely blurry in her mind. She remembers the bathroom and Seven/Saeyoung with the cat. And his eyes. Oh my god, his eyes, and that smile. Her heart clenches at the thought of him. This isn’t good, It’s been less than 24 hours and she’s already in deep.

Bits and pieces of their conversation float through her head but she can’t seem to grasp the entirety of it. Ugh. Why did she have so many of those... whatever they weres? What did she say to him? She desperately hopes nothing too bad. It couldn't have been anything too bad if he was texting her right? Unless it was that bad and he was telling her how weird she was. Calm down MC, calm down. Just unlock your phone and read the messages, you can do it.  

She takes a deep breath and bites her lip, entering her lock code. Her screen brightens, making her headache more apparent, but revealing the messages to her.

Saeyoung (9:09am): PSHHT This is ground control to Astronaut MC, do you read me?

Saeyoung (9:25am): PSHHT I repeat. MC, do you read me?

Saeyoung (10:07am): lolol I really hope you don't have a morning class

Saeyoung (10:11am): How are you feeling, Little Kitty?

Saeyoung (10:15am): >.< Was that weird? Sorry that was probably weird

Saeyoung (10:20am): Please let Seveny know you are still alive when you can

Saeyoung (10:30am): I‘m in class now but Secret Agent 707 might have to go on a rescue mission afterward if he doesn't hear back from you ^^’

MC’s face heats up a few degrees as she reads the messages He’s worried about me! Her heart leaps again as she thinks over how to respond to him as quickly as possible.

--

Seven bobs his leg up and down nervously as he sits in his back corner seat of the Comp Sci lab, not hearing anything his teacher is saying about compilation errors. He unlocks his phone for the third time in less than a minute and stares at the notification bar. Was he too forward? Too weird? She didn't seem to mind is weirdness too much last night but maybe that was because she was drunk? Or maybe something’s actually wrong, what if she had alcohol poisoning? Was she hurt, or was she just ignoring him? He didn't like either of those options frankly.

“Luciel?” He hears his teacher's voice pierces through his mind’s paranoid circling.

“Can you tell me why this code isn’t compiling correctly? Tell me where the error is.” His teacher looks at him pointedly, obviously trying to catch him off guard.

“Uhhhh” He stalls, scanning the code on the board. “You have a syntax error on line 23.”

His teacher - Mr. Vanderwood, seems a little disappointed he can’t reprimand him, “That's cor-”

“And 47.” Seven adds.

“Wait, what?” Mr. Vanderwood says incredulously scanning the code himself. “You’re right… uhh thanks, I guess”

“No probs Ms. Vanderwood.” Seven replies casually.

“It’s Mr. Vanderwood, Luciel.”

“Right, right, won't happen again Vandy!” the class collectively giggles at the interaction that's quite common amongst the two

“LUCIEL!”

“Ah hahaha sorry!” Seven cowers, shutting up.

His teacher stares at him a moment longer before continuing, “The next type of error you may have is a runtime error, a runtime error occurs when….” - and just like that Seven has checked out and is back to his phone again, and he has two new messages! He fumbles a bit in his excitement but manages to get his phone unlocked.

MC (Q-T-π): Hey! Sorry for making you worry! I just woke up.

MC (Q-T-π): And if it wasn't weird I’d be worried it wasn't you I was talking to, but that doesn’t mean I didn't like it. :)

She doesn't hate him! She thanked him! Thank God. He impulsively grasps the cross around his neck in victory. She used a smile emoji! Does that mean he made her smile? Oh, he really hopes so!

He looks rapidly around the room. Realizing Vanderwood is busy helping someone else he quickly types out a reply.

Saeyoung: She lives! :D Seven can breathe again. How do you feel?

--

MC seats herself up in bed and manages to get at least her feet off the bed before she's alerted to another message, her stomach responds with a small flourish of butterflies. Wow, he's fast. She thinks, smiling and reading his reply.

--

Seven watches his screen faithfully for her next message.

MC (Q-T-π): Honestly? I feel like death D:

MC (Q-T-π): But talking to you is definitely helping this headache go away.

He can’t help but crack a wide smile.

Saeyoung: Glad to be of assistance!

He can’t just let the conversation die like this though. He has to think of a way to continue it, and that's when an idea hits him.

Saeyoung: I have something else that may help!

MC (Q-T-π): Oh yea, What's that?

Saeyoung: Seven’s magic hangover (and other ailments) cure-aaaaall… Ddddddrumroll plz

MC (Q-T-π): Dum-dum-da-da-da-dum-dum!

Saeyoung: Seven Star Energy Drink!

MC (Q-T-π): You have your own energy drink? :O!

Saeyoung: Uhhhh well, haha

Saeyoung: not officially

Saeyoung: BUT

Saeyoung: I’m sure it will help clear up that nasty hangover! And that’s not all!

Saeyoung: It would be hand-delivered by yours truly :)

He sends the last message and waits with bated breath for a reply.

--

The bathroom door opens and Mei steps out all ready for class and starts getting her things together. MC stares at her phone screen. He wants to come over? She bites her lip and thinks for a minute. She hasn’t even had a shower yet. She groans loudly and throws her head back onto her pillow in defeat, resulting in a powerful reminder of the headache she needs to get rid of.

Mei eyes her peculiar display. “Alright, tell Mei what’s wrong.”

“Seven wants to come over” MC groans.

“So?? That’s great. Shouldn’t you be excited?”

“He wants to bring me something to help my hangover.”

“Aww, and here we all thought he was just crazy. That’s so sweet! I’m still not seeing the issue though unless you don’t actually like him and that was just the drink talking last night?”

“No, no that’s” MC stutters. “That’s not it. It’s just… I look like garbage.” MC replies sitting up again so Mei can see her face, still covered in smudged makeup from the night before.

“Hmm” Mei considers. “High-quality garbage though, like rich people garbage. Ya know?”

“Thanks,” MC replies sarcastically.

“What I mean is, you just gotta clean yourself up a bit and you’ll be fine. Like a million dollar sofa with a stain on it.” Mei says tossing her a bag of makeup wipes, a brush, her foundation and a tube of mascara.

MC wipes her face down, using about 3 wipes to get everything off, and then starts her “low effort” look by pulling her hair into a messy bun with a few loose locks on each side.

Mei ruffles around in MC’s dresser “Annnd you probably want to change.”

MC looks down and realizes she’s still wearing what she borrowed from Mei the night before.  

"How many beige sweaters do you have, Girl?" Mei tosses her a particularly oversized one and a pair of black leggings.

"They're comfy!" MC defends, finally rising herself from her bed to change. "Oh shit. I forgot to answer him!" She adds a second later, frantically pulling her sweater over her head.

"You left that poor boy on read? He probably thinks you hate him now." Mei teases.

"Nooooo!" MC whines fishing her phone out of her covers.

--

Saeyoung leaves class and drives the short distance back to the RFA house, glancing at his phone more frequently than he should. It's been fifteen minutes, she's probably not going to answer. He shouldn't have invited himself over like that.

He walks in the door, no one seems to be home at the moment. He continues up the stairs.

MC (Q-T-π): That would actually be very nice of you, but fair warning I look like a hot mess :/

A sense of relief falls over him, and then excitement and then… nervousness? It's been a while since he's felt that particular emotion.

Saeyoung: I'm sure you look beautiful! :)

Saeyoung: I'll head over as soon and I can get everything together!

MC (Q-T-π): Can't wait :)

He reads her message as he enters his room, flinging his black and yellow backpack onto the small couch and whoops loudly with enthusiasm, jumping up and down in excitement.

"What the fuck?!" Saeran's voice rings out from the other side of the room as he whips around in his desk chair to give his brother one of his trademark glares.

It would seem Seven forgot to check the room for other occupants when he entered. "Oops sorry bro!"

"Yeah, whatever." He says, writing off his brother's little show as one of his typical little displays and going back to his work.

Saeyoung yanks his t-shirt off over his head, and walks over to the shared closet and begins flipping through shirts.  

“Great job with inviting people to the party last night, by the way. A lot of people came out!”

Saeran smirks. “Amazing how many people are willing to go over to a random house because a stranger told them there would be free alcohol.”

“Tell me about it, Jaehee’s totaling the amount now but we should have quite a pretty good amount to donate this time!”

“That’s good, I’ll ask her about it later.” Saeran answers, writing himself a reminder on a post-it and sticking it to his computer screen.

Seven check his teeth in the closet mirror, “We missed you though, where were you last night?” He attempts to pry, knowing his brother is a pretty private person but he hoping maybe he’ll tell him anyway.

“Out” Saeran deadpans, revealing nothing.

“Hmm, ok I won’t bug you about but just be careful ok? I’ve been hearing about some weird cult stuff going on around campus.”

Saeran scoffs. “Cults? Seriously? Don’t worry about me, I can take care of myself.”

“Hey, can I borrow this shirt?” Seven asks, holding up a short sleeve, white button-down of Saeran’s. Obviously forgetting his former train of thought.

Saeran tsks in response “Ah, I see you didn’t do your laundry again.”

“I was busy!” Pleeaaasee?” Seven begs.

“Ugh, sure fine whatever, if it even fits you.”

“Thanks! You’re my favorite twin!” Seven shrugs into the shirt it’s a little tight, but manageable.

“That statement makes absolutely no sense, but ok. What are you getting all dressed up for anyway? I haven't seen you make an effort like this since the RFA Christmas Ball.”

“The Defender of Justice, the Mighty Seven-Zero-Seven must deliver much-needed medicine to a pretty lady who has fallen ill!” Seven says dramatically, earning an eye roll from his brother before heading over to the mirror to style his hair the best he can without product. It's still a mess but at least it looks a little neater. He sprays a little cologne on his neck and then checks his breath. “Oof, that’s not gonna work,” He says to himself before looking over at Saeran. “Hey, you got any mints?”

“I always have mints,” Saeran replies tossing him a tin from the generous supply in his desk.

“Bless you, dear brother.” Seven dumps a few in his mouth and cronches on them, making Saeran cringe.

“You’re supposed to let them dissolve ya know.” Saeran grimaces.

“Yea, yea no time gotta go!” Seven turns his backpack upside down and dumps his books and laptop onto the couch before shoving new stuff into his backpack in its place, flinging it onto his back and heading out the door.

Saeran simply rolls his eyes “And don’t fuck up my shirt!” he shouts as he listens to his brother’s footsteps descend the staircase and go out the front door.

[1] Ok so I've just finished the Ray Route for the first time w/o spoilers successfully! Thanks for answering all my nonsensical asks all throughout these 11 days. I'd thought I'd collect a few of my thoughts and put them here: (1) I have to say Saeran is now my favourite character. He's. Just a cool dude I guess (2) Cleansed Saeran is basically Edge Boi™ who dressed up for a job interview at Hot Topic. He tries to scare people but he fails poor boy (3) Ray is,,, kinda clingy I don't know man he

congratulations on reaching the finish line!! glad to talk to you over those chaotic 11 days! since you sent me these asks in parts, i’ll answer them accordingly under the cut!

1. saeran’s a GREAT dude he’s been through so much but hes so good and so strong and hes VERY GREAT n i have a very high fever so all my brain cells are bringing to the table is inane shouting and “ohoogughhug saeran good”

2. cleansed saeran as a phrase still dealt me 50 poison damage because i cannot Stand people yelling at me Ever because i am just a tiny creacher…..but its good that it didnt affect you too much!!

3. now ray’s character is really a Hit Or Miss and the way you view him is completely valid but its important to understand exactly where he’s coming from, especially in his own route. i think recognising why certain habits of his are unhealthy to himself and those around him, as well as recognising why he has them, is a crucial part of ray’s route (although you probably know that already!) so all im saying is its very good to call him out for his unhealthy habits! but please try to be nice to him ^^;;

4. its probably not that funny but the entire time v’s telling rika how much he still loves her he looks like he’s passing the fattest kidney stone so judging by that im pretty sure they’re gonna burn like saeran’s house :/ 

5. rika is designed to be a very morally ambiguous and morally provocative character, and the way someone perceives her is almost always entirely dependent on their own experiences, which is why i believe that you’re in no way wrong whether you like her or don’t like her

personally i have a lot of Thoughts on rika that i might discuss in detail sometime later, but the general gist of it is Good Intentions, Bad Actions. everything she’s done has been under a twisted conception of love, and the moment she started involving other people she became exempt from being easily excused for her actions, but i think her desire to be a good person means that she has the potential to find a kind of love that’s not destructive to herself or others, and i’d like to hold her responsible for self recovery more than self retribution (of course then my argument brings up the whole “then no criminal would actually be a criminal” issue and yeah this whole debacle is messy and deliberately situational but since i’m not the one in charge of Rika’s Divine Ruling, i dont reckon there’s any point to thinking about it too much…… im just gonna go with my gut sjhgckf)

6. if they kill seven im gonna. well im. im just gonna cry BUT considering they brought ray back from the dead in the most arbitrary way in v’s ae im gonna assume seven’s chances are pretty fucking good (to be a bit more exact, you still get a few of seven’s thoughts on day 10 and one response where youre like “he might be playing around with the kidnapper’s wits!” gets a heart from him so if he’s alive enough to give you kudos for a comment he can’t even see then im gonna hope he’s alive enough to survive the ae)

7. v’s ae took a HECK of a lotta time but im assuming that’s because they had to lay out a HECK of a lotta foundations for this new style of ae, so ray’s shouldn’t take as long! maybe sometime near the middle/end of this year? its good to try be patient but if youre frustrated you cannn engage in the fandom annnndddd…….talk to……meeeee JHVBDGCVKFGJHJ im ALWAYS up for ray route talk >:3

8. (you didnt have point 8 but you do now) i really hope you 1) enjoyed the route!! and 2) get some Good Sleep im sending you sleepy vibbbbeess uwu

[mysticnfantastic]

Angsty scenario where mc is pregnant and tries to hide it from saeran knowing he isnt ready to be a father but cant go through abortion? Mental decline initiated

Hiya! Of course! The ending kinda sucks, sorry about that!

~~~~

You never meant for this to happen. It wasn’t planned, it wasn’t supposed to be like this…!

Hair up in a messy bun, you leaned your face temples on your hand as you sat at the dinner table, thinking about what the hell to do.

Do you tell him?

If so, how?

How would he react?

Will he be happy?

Upset?

Angry?

Will he even still want you?

All these questions bubbled in your mind like a potion in a witch’s cauldron, the anxiety of the situation almost breaking you in half.

How does one even go about saying this? How do other women manage to do this!?

The mere idea of telling Saeran that the two of you will be parents in less than a year frightened you to the bone. It was awful to think about telling him. You knew you weren’t ready, but even more so than that - you knew Saeran wasn’t ready.

He had only just started to finally be getting better, he was finally getting the help he needed for his mental issues and was starting to find silver linings in life.

You knew he wasn’t ready to take care of another human being, he was still struggling to take care of himself, after all!

Everything had been so good, and this would potentially ruin everything the two of you had worked so hard to do.

Maybe…maybe you could and should just get rid of it. Then, he wouldn’t even need to know about it.

He’d never know, and it wouldn’t destroy all you had worked so hard on achieving together.

On the other hand, that idea instilled horror and mortification into you. Even if it wasn’t a baby yet, it could be. It could be a baby between Saeran and you.

Could you even get rid of it?

Hearing the front door unlock, you hurriedly discarded the positive pregnancy test in your hand, quickly dropping it into the small trash can.

Washing your hands and wiping off your smudged makeup, you walked out of the bathroom, taking care in presenting yourself to be perfectly alright when you were internally drowning in panic and caught in an inner torment.

A forced smile on your face, you joyfully greeted your lover and his brother as they both returned from the grocery store.

“Hey, guys!” You greeted them, your tone seemed light and carefree, but Saeyoung could note a slightly stressed tone in your voice. Saeran, however, wasn’t nearly as observative as Saeyoung was.

Fortunately for you.

Both of the ginger twins placed the shopping bags down onto the counters, and you walked over to Saeran, quickly pecking his cheek affectionately, as you usually did. Saeran almost immediately turned redder than a tomato, your lover was the most adorable!

That ginger boy of yours muttered a small, shy ‘Hey’ to you, and Saeyoung made a teasing joke about the two of you, but unknown to you he was low-key observing you for any signs of hidden stress or worry. You were after all, almost like a sister to him by now, so if something was worrying you he wanted to be aware of it.

Since your return from Mint Eye, both of you had tried your hardest to make big steps to a normal life and normal mentality, especially him.

You were so immensely proud of him! Which was why this situation internally harmed you so deeply. A child might cause him to spiral again, especially into repressed memories of how awful his own childhood had been, and that was the last thing you wanted.

You didn’t want to seem weird or out of character to him or Saeyoung, so you tried to act…authentically to how you normally are.

“How was shopping?” You inquired softly, as you started to help put the groceries away into the fridge and cupboards, using small talk as a mechanism to stop you from thinking about the problem of your current situation.

Saeran groaned, running a hand through his tomato-hair. “Saeyoung kept making stupid puns in every aisle, it was the most frustrating thing in existence!” Your lover complained, putting away some apples into the wooden fruit bowl in the kitchen.

“Hey! They weren’t that bad! I, for one, think I’m juiced the most hilarious person here!” Saeyoung declared, which resulted in Saeran letting out a loud sound of dismay at hearing yet another bad pun.

You, meanwhile, shook your head playfully as the softest giggle escaped you. These were your favourite types of moments.

And you were terrified of letting times like this go when Saeran finds out you’re pregnant.

You tried your best to upkeep your aura of normalcy for the next two hours, spending time with both brothers as the three of you had ‘Family night’. It was something Saeran stated he hated, but you knew he secretly loved it. Obviously, it had been originally Saeyoung’s idea, one you supported wholly but at first insisted it just be the two of them when Saeyoung tried to include you to the weekly family night. Mainly because at the beginning, you really wanted them to catch up and bond properly, without you being in the way.

But, as you already knew, Saeyoung refused to take ‘no’ for an answer, and eventually ‘Family Night’ was a custom among all three of you.

It consisted of board games, movies, video games and card games. Some arguments would usually arise, mainly when playing games such as monopoly, however, it was all in good fun.

It was actually exactly what was needed for you all, especially after a long week.

As your current game of Cards Against Humanity, Saeyoung excused himself to go to the bathroom, and you were more than shocked he hadn’t needed to go sooner, you swore you saw him drink like three litres of Ph.D Pepper like, an hour ago.

How that man managed to keep all that liquid within him for so long, you had no idea.

The game night had managed to take your mind off your concerns, enjoying your time with the brothers. You three really felt like almost a real family, however weird of a family you all well.

You were trying not to think or worry about your situation for the time being, it could be tomorrow’s worry. For now, you wanted to enjoy this evening with your two favourite people, and pretend that nothing will ever change.

When Saeyoung was in the bathroom, Saeran and you were left alone, a comfortable silence between you two. You were sitting side by side as you played, and you knew he loved this game, and you did too, but not because it was funny, but because it made him laugh.

Saeran had the prettiest laughter and the loveliest smile. It warmed your heart immensely to watch your loved one be so cheerful and happy.

You were unknowingly lost in thought, and Saeran noticed. You had been spacey a lot, not only today but for the past, three or so days, distance in your mind and it worried him. Why were you so thoughtful lately? He couldn’t help but feel as though he may have done something to cause your distant state, he knew that being with him was surely more than anyone could bargain for, but you had always assured him that you would never leave him. You weren’t changing your mind…right?

The sudden warmth on your handmade you leave your thoughts behind and looked to see Saeran holding your hand. You smiled softly at him and felt your heart flutter in your ribcage.

Gods above, you loved this man.

Seeing you smile caused slight relief within him, but he was still more than a little concerned.

“Are you enjoying the game?” You asked Saeran, making sure to smile and seem carefree as much as possible, you didn’t want to give away that you were hiding something from him.

He nodded, smiling back, and yet you could tell it wasn’t overly sincere. You could tell he was dying to ask you what was wrong - you weren’t doing a very good job convincing him that nothing was wrong. Fortunately for you, Saeyoung came out of the bathroom before he was able to ask anything.

And so, the game continued for another hour, after which you were all planning to go to bed, at least you and Saeran, you both knew Saeyoung would stay up at least another three to four hours.

When you were all packed away, you pecked Saeran’s lips quickly, which caused him to blush due to the suddenness of it all. A giggle escaped you, and your boyfriend went to take a shower.

You were putting all your snacks back into the cupboards and fridge, and Saeyoung was sitting at the table on his phone. When Saeran left the room, his twin turned off his phone and walked up to you.

At first, you didn’t think much of it, thinking he wanted to find something to eat, how much Saeyoung could eat and not gain weight was beyond you.

“I know you’re pregnant.” The statement caused you to straighten and tense, the plate you were putting back slipping from your fingers, shattering onto the floor. Your breath hitched, hand clamping onto your chest, heart beating faster than the speed of light. Saeyoung tensed too, not meaning to scare you and make you break the plate.

“S-sorry, I just…” You sighed out, crouching down to clean the plate shards up, only to cut your fingers on a particularly sharp piece, wincing at the pain.

Immediately, Saeyoung helped you back onto your feet in a standing position, leading you to the table and sitting you down, getting medical supplies from the kitchen cupboard.

“Let me clean it up, Saeran would kill me if he finds out you hurt yourself because of me.” He tried to joke to lighten the atmosphere, but it didn’t really work.

“How do you know….about the…situation?” You questioned, as he sat down on the seat across from you, and started cleaning your bleeding hand, biting your lip in pain.

“You left the pregnancy test in the bathroom bin. I covered it with toilet paper now, incase Saeran would see it. I figured you want to tell him yourself.”

You sighed harshly when the cleansing liquid touched your hurt skin, “I want to, but I…I don’t know if i should.”

Saeyoung was hardly ever serious, but you knew if he had to be, he could be. This was one of those times.

“It…it is his, right?” Hearing the man who you saw as a brother almost accusing you of cheating on the love of your life was incredibly offensive, “Of course it’s his!” You whisper-yelled, trying not to cry. “But we both know he is not ready to have a baby - and neither am I!” Saeyoung would have loved to argue, but he knew you were right. Saeran was not ready for this, but that’s just how life was.

“He needs to know, he’ll eventually find out anyways when you start blowing up like an air balloon.”

He was trying to joke, but it really wasn’t going well.

You didn’t reply, looking down at your hand, which he was now wrapped with a small bandage.

“(Y/N)…?” He spoke up, realising what you were thinking about doing, (Y/N)…! Tell me you aren’t thinking of doing what I think you may want to do…!”

You looked up at him, tears in your eyes, biting your lip. “What am I supposed to do? If I…get rid of it, Saeran will never have to know and nothing will have to change…” You weep out.

Despite thinking about this, you knew you likely would never be able to do it.

“You can’t possibly be considering this…! This is, this could be, my nephew or niece…” He quietly argued, standing up to clean the plate shards.

“Please, just…” He breathed in, trying to stay calm. “Tell him.”

The next morning, you knew you would have to tell Saeran about your pregnancy.

You just didn’t know how to do it.

Waking up next to him every day, having all these little moments, you were terrified you’d lose them, that he’d leave you.

Logically, you knew Saeran loved you and would likely never leave you, but you couldn’t be sure.

Still, this had to be done. Your eyes fluttered open, seeing him still asleep in the bed next to you, you bit your lip and sighed silently. Getting out of your shared bed, you went to make coffee for yourself and for Saeran, making sure to make his extra creamy and sweet, he hated bitter things.

When you returned to your shared room, you found Saeran awake, seeming almost panicked, but calming down when he saw you.

“Good morning, (Y/N)..” he greeted, smiling in relief. “Good morning,” you told him, and put his coffee cup on the side table beside him, then did the same on your side of the bed, only to climb back into bed with him. Saeran pulled you close to him, which you found unusual as you were the one to usually hold him and show him affectionately.

“You know I love you, right, (Y/N)?” His tone was worried, insecure and it broke your heart. “Saeran, of course, I know. And I love you too.” You quickly responded and kissed him softly, assuring him in every way you could. You knew you had to tell him what was wrong - he was getting panicky.

“Saeran, I have something to tell you.” You knew you had his entire attention.

“I’m…pregnant.”

The words caused a thick tension between the both of you. He couldn’t believe it.

He wasn’t ready, and you knew it. You closed your eyes, and expected to be yelled at - sometimes Saeran still had his outbursts.

You didn’t even notice you were crying until your sob broke the silence, and you opened your eyes to see Saeran looking at you like a deer caught in headlights, but then pulled you even closer to him.

“…(Y/N), I love you….” He choked out, he was shaking and so were you. Both of you terrified of the future.

“…I love you too, Saeran…” You cried out, holding onto him as if he’d disappear any second. “W-We will…we will get through this….right?” He asked, and you nodded, “Yes. We will, we’ll…figure this out.”

The two of you stayed like that for most of the day, crying and comforting one another, assuring you’d be alright.

Everything would be alright.

[marshmallowprotection]

It might be a stupid question, but is it okay that I prefer V route to Ray's? I just see so many people praising Ray route and his AE so much, I feel like my choice to prefer V route and AE is not valid... It almost feels like choosing V over Ray is somehow wrong.

I hope this question doesn't sound rude. I am so glad I found your blog! It is so nice to meet a Ray/Saeran fan who isn't hateful towards Jihyun. T_T

Sigh. This again? I thought people were finally going to get past the idea that there's a True Ending or a True Route. Listen, the route that is true is the one that you choose for yourself. Whoever you love and whatever you choose to follow is what's canon to you. An ending that is mine isn't going to look like an ending that's yours.

There's never a true ending because we all experience our own ending.

There is no canon thing that you can pick that is the "real" ending. There is no "real ending" for a game that is an Otome and meant to give you a very specialized ending to have depending on who you romance! If you love Jihyun Kim and his route, then your reality is based on V Route. You live on that Route and you follow that story. That's true for you.

You are 100% allowed to prefer any route you want! That's the point of the game! Anon, don't let anyone tell you that you're wrong for this because you're not. You are valid. You are okay. You are alright in this. You aren't doing anything wrong. You can prefer anything you want and nobody can take that from you. If you prefer V Route, that's your route. That's what you love and that's your comfort reality. Nobody can take that from you.

Just because I love Ray and Ray Route doesn't mean that I'm right or that I'm doing the best and true Route. It just means that I love Ray! I love being with Ray and Saeran! I like being on his Route so I can be a partner to him! If I lived in that reality, I would live through his Route. It would be real for me. I wouldn't experience V Route, but that does not mean V Route is wrong or not right. It literally just means that I've picked to romance Ray.

That's all it is.

The only Route that's true is the one you pick for yourself. Your reality is your truth. There is no right or wrong choice in an Otome. It's all about your choice. So, love Jihyun Kim, and never let anyone make you feel like a lesser person for liking his Route or loving him. I enjoy a lot of aspects of V Route, too. I love writing in that reality sometimes!

Why do people feel the need to bash other routes or characters? I'm so tired of discourse. It's been six years but people still do this crap. Anon, you're fine, okay? You are allowed to enjoy whatever you want. Also, I'm so sorry you've seen Jihyun hate. People are allowed to not like characters but I wish they'd tag hate and criticism with warnings so it doesn't flood character tags up when all people want to see is a bit of comfort.

Hell, Jihyun Kim is at my top 3 even if that's hard to believe since I'm so focused on Saeran. He's behind all the Saerans and Saeyoung, but still. As frustrating as V can be sometimes? I still enjoy his character and I love reading and writing about him. He's interesting and there's a lot about him that makes me think hard about why he is who he is. The same can be said for Rika, honestly. I don't really hate anyone in this game...

Unless we're talking about my mortal enemy, Saejoong Choi.

[arielle0808]

oh boy, oh boy, oH BOI. Alice is back at it again with the mysmes headcanons!! :00 Anyways, can I request a RFA + Saeran + V with College!Workaholic!MC who wants to practice self-care but she just can't since there's this overwhelming tide of anxiety that washes over her that revolves around the idea of; "If you fail this exam, you'll fail all semester, if you fail all semester, you'll fail at life. You wouldn't be able to support yourself much more your significant other." ? Thank you^^

Heyyy🙈 Sorry for taking so long to write this, but here it comes!!

That MC sounds sooo relatable xD The same thing happens to me, so here comes also a shoutout to those who feel identified by them: YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN YOUR GRADES. Don’t stress over them, do it as best as you can, but don’t beat yourself down about it. Stay healthy and take care of yourself!! As my favourite singer and role model, Sierra Boggess, would say: you are so enough

Thank you for your request, lovely

Yoosung

He thought he got stressed over school. He had been so wrong.

“MC, why don’t you take a rest?” he asked them. They had been studying since they woke up, eating while re-reading their notes, and the only rests they had taken had been to go to the toilet.

“Yoosung, don’t you understand that I can’t fail this exam? That I can’t be a failure?! What would my professors, my parents, everyone say?! They’ve put so much faith in me! And if I fail I’ll be… nothing, no one, worth less.”

“That’s not…”

“Of course it’s true, Yoosung, not everyone has the luxury of being careless as you!” MC realised they had been unfair the moment they had uttered the words. It had been the stress talking for them. And Yoosung’s face made them feel even more repented and guilty. “I’m sorry, Yoosung, I didn’t mean that.”

MC stood up of their chair and embraced him just as he started sobbing.

“You’re not careless, Yoosung, I’m sorry. You’re amazing. It’s just… you have so many qualities. You are so much more than your grades.”

“And so are you!” Yoosung exclaimed, angry and hurt. “If only you realised.”

MC agreed at that moment that they had had enough studying that day. They would spend the day making it up to Yoosung for being cruel and when they finally showed how repented they were and that they really didn’t mean it, Yoosung soothed them.

“Your studies are important, I know it well, but you are so amazing! I don’t love you because of your grades! Besides, you already know what you’re studying, you should relax. What if I study some more and you study less, alright?”

“Deal.”

It would take sometime for them to be able to fulfil that promise, but they would manage. Yoosung would feel more proud of himself, and MC would be healthier

Zen

MC was locked up in the bathroom with a nervous breakdown.

“Babe, why don’t we talk about it?” he insisted, knocking softly on the door. 

When MC replied, ugly crying, it sounded as if she had thrusted a mop into their mouth, so he couldn’t really make out much of what they had said, but the words “failure,” “disappointment,” and “studies,” which told him pretty much everything about the situation.

He took his guitar, sat at the door of the bathroom and started singing Perfect by P!nk. MC eventually stopped crying and opened the door of the bathroom. Zen put aside his guitar and they sat on his lap. He put his arms around them and caressed their hair.

“I know people out there make it believe that our worth is measured by our grades,” he said. “Damn, that’s what I grew up to. That’s one of the reasons why I decided to drop my studies, to show them that’s not true. MC, you’re much more than your grades! You’re intelligent, supportive, sweet… you’re so many things! And you are doing really good. So stop stressing over your grades and studies. Let’s relax a little. I know you’ll get the perfect mark anyway.”

MC finally agreed and they spent the rest of the day playing songs on the guitar.

Jaehee

She understands MC better than anyone, since she was the same when she was in college.

MC was sobbing on the sofa, claiming she was never going to make it to the top of her class, that she was a failure, and Jaehee made a cup of coffee for herself and of their favourite drink and took it to the sofa. She cuddled MC and let them cry as much as they needed to.

“MC, you’re not a failure. You are going to make it to the top of your class, I know it. I’ve seen how much effort and interest you put in your studies, more than what you need to be on the top one. And even if you didn’t make it, that wouldn’t make you a failure. You love what you study, don’t you?”

MC nodded.

“Then enjoy it. Learn and enjoy of what you study. Even if there are some courses that you don’t like that much, learn and enjoy of the experience of being in college. You are not your grades, MC.”

“But my future…”

“Do you really think your grades define your future?” she asked with a low chuckle and MC nodded, puzzled. “Look at me. The best of my class, the model student, worked for C&R… and discovered that my dream was opening a café. And here I am. I would have been able to open it without stressing as much as I did.”

“Then the years and effort you spent in college were meaningless?”

“Not at all. I learned lots of important things, things that help me with the café now, and also helped me to find out what I didn’t want to do. I wouldn’t be who I am today if it weren’t for those years. But my point is that you are much more than your studies, and your grades don’t define your future. Alright?”

MC smiled and nodded, and Jaehee hugh them tight.

“Now, let’s relax for today. What would you say to watching some of Zen’s musicals?”

Jumin

MC had spent all day locked up in their room. Jumin had always been really encouraging about their attitude towards their studies, believing it was the right thing. Nevertheless, even he understood that was too much.

He knocked on their door and called them in a soft voice.

“Why don’t you take a break, MC?”

MC stormed out of the room in tears.

“Jumin, I’m so stupid!” they exclaimed. “I can’t memorise this paragraph! I can’t! I just can’t!!! I’m going to fail the exam tomorrow! I’m going to be a disappointment, a failure, and all that because I’m stupid!!”

It took a while to Jumin to compose after MC’s exclamations and tears, but he put his arms around them and lead them to the sofa. He served two glasses of wine and put Elizabeth on MC’s lap as they kept on crying.

“You are not stupid, MC,” Jumin said. “There are different kinds on intelligence,” he started saying. “Emotional, mathematical, linguistic, musical… I believe you excell in several of them. You taught me a lot about my own emotions,” he smiled and MC nodded, still pouting. “People are usually graded by their mathematical intelligence. The system is designed that way. The fact that you are not outsanding in school doesn’t mean you are not inteligent, but that you are not excellent in that field or that you should be evaluated other way. There is much more in you than what your grades or resumee says, MC,” he kissed their temple. “Moreover, a paragraph will not make you fail an exam.”

Suddenly, MC said the paragraph they were trying to memorise aloud.

“… excuse me, what was that?”

“That’s the paragraph, Jumin!! I did memorise it!!”

“You just needed some rest and calmness, then, to retrieve the information you had stored in your head,” he kissed their temple and they chuckled. “Now, why don’t you try to take more breaks and carry out a healthier routine?”

“I’ll try. Thank you, Jumin.”

707

Usually both of them locked themselves up, Seven doing some work and MC studying. They used to take breaks at the same time, and everything seemed to go healthily. That is, untill the exam weeks started.

“MC, baby boo, don’t you think it’s time to do a little restie rest?”

MC looked at him with narrowed eyes and a pissed off expression to say “no.”

After some pouting and whining and complaints because the love of his life didn’t want to spend time with him, MC turned to Seven with an angry:

“Stop that! You don’t understand!!! You are so clever and intelligent, and you didn’t need to spend as much time as I do studying, I get it, but normal people like me do! I don’t want to be a failure!” MC’s angry voice started turning into a crying one. “I want to help supporting our family too, you know? I don’t want to be a disappointment to my parents, you… or myself.”

Seven looked at them, puzzled, and when they started sobbing, he embraced them and took them to bed to cuddle.

“MC, you are doing so much for me already. Maybe you are not supporting our family economically yet, but one day you will, and I can always count of you for more important stuff. You are always there when I need it, and that’s something much more important than your grades, MC. You don’t need to be the best in school not to be a failure. You just have to be you.”

He tightened his embrace and kissed their forehead.

“Besides, I’m sure you’ll be on the top ten of your class at the very least! You are inteligent, MC, and you’ve put so much effort in this. I know you’ll make it. For now, how about a rest. We can take a nap together or, even better, go for a ride in one of my babies~ What do you say?”

“A nap sounds great,” MC nuzzled his neck and he chuckled.

“Whatever my precious wishes~”

V

As Jumin, V was always very supportive and encouraging with MC’s studying routine. He usually brought them snacks and drinks during their studying sessions and reminded them of taking breaks. Everything run smoothly until the day before one of MC’s exam.

MC had spent all morning locked up in their room, as usual, but when V opened the door to bring them food, he found them curled up in their bed, crying.

He left the tray on the table and approached them, cuddling them.

“MC, what’s wrong? You know you can tell me anything.”

“It’s the exam, V. I’m going to fail and then I’ll be worthless. All I’ve done until now will be meaningless.”

“You’re not going to fail, MC,” V tightened his embrace. “You’re going to have excellent grades, as usual, and even if you failed, you wouldn’t be worthless and your effort wouldn’t have been meaningless.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“You are much more than the result of an exam. I know you don’t believe this now because we’ve been educated to believe college and out grades are everything, but that’s not true. I used to believe the same thing, but you made me see I’m much more than that. I’m not my grades in school, I’m not my career in photography. I’m an artist, I’m your love,” he kissed their temple and MC chuckled and nodded in agreement. “And so are you. You are my love, my muse. You are considerate, clever, sweet, and there’s so much light in you.”

“Thank you, V. I love you.”

“I love you too. Do you want to go for a walk? To breathe fresh air, put your mind on other things…”

“I’d love that.”

Saeran

As MC usually did for him when he had a nervous breakdown, Saeran held them while they cried, saying nothing, caressing their head and waiting for them to calm down.

“What happened, MC?” he asked them, his own anxiety about to overtake him.

“It’s my exam. I’m going to fail it. And if I do, I’ll fail in life, Saeran. I’ll be a failure.”

He considered his words carefully before speaking up.

“I thought so too once. Well, not about college, but about studying hacking and disappointing the Sa… Rika,” he said, talking about Mint Eye still being difficult for him. “But you showed me that I was not my results. I want you to know that too. You’re not a machine which has to be productive. You are a person. The best person I know.”

“But my future is decided by my grades, Saeran” MC said. “I won’t be able to find a job or do anything for you if I don’t have the best grades.”

Saeran thought about what MC had said for a while. He still wasn’t very sure about how the world out of Mint Eye worked.

“Well, I don’t know if you’ll get a job or not if you fail your exam,” he honestly replied. “But I do know that you do so much for me already. Sometimes, I think it’s unfair,” he chuckled and MC looked at him puzzled. “I feel I’m not able to give back what you do for me. I’m only able to love you with all that I have.”

“That’s all that I want.”

“That’s all that I want for you too,” Saeran kissed them. “Another thing I learnt in that place was that you can’t do your best under situations of stress. Why don’t we go for a walk, eat some ice cream and you resume your studying when you feel better. I don’t know if I’ll be of help, but if you can think of a way I can lend you a hand, I’ll do it.”

“Thank you, MC,” smiled.

When Saeran asked them about the content of their exam, they knew it perfectly

[juminsmysticmc]

Aaaa, I also forgot yestrerday so I'm glad that it's today! Can we have rfa (or rfa + vandy if u like) with mc who don't want to get married but still wants to spend life with them, have family ane all. Thank you for that blog!

RFA with a Mc who doesn’t want to get married 

Hey! I am glad that I wasn’t the only one who forgot, lol. I decided that I will only do the RFA or the Minor Trio for each request, I hope it’s okay, please be free to request the Minor Trio again, yeah? Please tell me your opinion after you read this, okay? Love youuu!

Jumin

Your heart was beating crazily as you saw the back haired man get on his knees in front of you.

Your eyes looked around at all those people who saw you and waited for your response.

You knew Jumin for 11 days and knew that you wanted to spend your life with him. You loved him. Everything about him made your heart beat quicker and made you feel emotions no one else could make you feel.

However, you never wanted to get married.

You already witnessed how marriage changed people.

Friends, your own parents, neighbors.

Everyone.

You wanted this love to last forever.

,,Yes,’’ you lied, making him happy and kissing your soft lips.

He held your hands in his and smiled so happily.

But eventually, you had to tell him that you actually didn’t want to marry.

Not because of him, but just because you didn’t want to.

When the RFA Party ended and only the member themselves stayed, you pulled your fiancé towards a quiet corner.

,,Yes, my wife to be?’’ he asked you all lovely.

You pressed your lips together.

,,I want to spend my life together with you,’’ you said.

,,Me too,’’ he responded.

,,I want you to become the father of my children,’’ you went on.

,,I would love that too,’’ Jumin laughed, blushing a bit.

,,But I don’t want to get married,’’ you ended your speech.

,,I feel the- what? But… earlier you said…’’ Jumin gasped.

His eyes were open wide as he observed you.

Your hands were sweaty. You were nervous.

For sure, this wasn’t an easy step.

,,Marriage changes love. I want this love to last forever. I promise you I will stay forever by your side, but not as your wife but as simply your partner. I don’t need anything else, but you,’’ you told him, kissing him on his lips and taking away his fears about the non marriage…

Zen

It was Valentine's Day when Zen returned home with a lot of red roses and chocolate.

,,Happy Valentine’s Day, Princess,’’ he told you and kissed you, putting the bag with groceries on the floor and hugging you.

He still felt bad that he didn’t ask you to be his wife.

,,I promise you, as soon as my family finally approves me, I will take you as my wife and make you the happiest woman in the world,’’ he promised you, implanting a kiss on your head.

,,Well,’’ you began.

,,I never want to live a second without you, but honestly speaking, Hyun, I don’t want to get married,’’ you confessed, biting your lip as you waited for his answer.

,,Huh?’’ he asked, kind of confused.

Wasn’t it every woman’s dream to walk down the aisle in a white dress?

,,I don’t want to get married. Like, we could use the money better for our future children. Not being married is so much better, less work, and doesn’t cost that much,’’ you told him, taking his hands.

,,Jagjya, money isn’t an issue for me, you know?’’ he asked you, worried that you may think that he didn’t have enough money to marry you.

,,I know, but I just don’t want it… I don’t need a wedding as long as I have you, I don’t need marriage to make a family with the man I like,’’ you told him.

,,A family as a non married man… guess my family will never approve of me…’’ he mumbled.

You suddenly felt bad. Was it that important to him…? 

Instead, he surprised you with a totally different topic.

,,Since they don’t approve of my job, myself, or my lifestyle and wouldn’t even accept that I am not married, let’s do a baby right away!’’ he laughed and took your body in his embrace, slowly taking off his jacket....

Yoosung

After a while of being together as a couple with Yoosung, it finally happened - despite not being married, which wasn’t a problem for you, you got pregnant.

For Yoosung’s mother, something horrible.

,,Tell Mc that I will pick her up next monday to choose a dress with her,’’ his mother told him at nine a clock, after you spent the last three hours vomiting.

,,Sorry, babe,’’ Yoosung said, looking apologetic into your eyes.

You got up, pissed, and out on your shoes.

,,You know, Yoosung,’’ you began, looking into his sleepy eyes.

,,That’s the reason why I actually am against marriage. I love you and I want to spend my life with you. I want to have more children with you, but I don’t want to get married.

It’s stressful. It’s something I didn’t want to have, but now for your mother I have to try on a white dress, even through this is against my wishes, and I honestly don’t want to live life like that!’’ you told him and went into the kitchen, leaving Yoosung in his bed alone.

,,Mc, wait!’’ he called you, jumping up too and running behind you.

,,What do you mean with ‘something I didn’t want to do’? You don’t want to get married?’’ he asked you again.

You explained to Yoosung that you loved him dearly, but that you simply didn’t want to get married.

Yoosung nodded.

,,Besides,’’ you began, ,,you need to spend your life with me, not with her. And if you can’t do that even through we aren’t even married, imagine how a married life will go!’’

You ended your sentence and began to cook the food.

With that, Yoosung disappeared.

You heard him yelling for about ten minutes before he came out, ready to eat breakfast.

,,What happened?’’ you asked him, concerned.

,,I told my mother to find my sister a husband and instead leave my girlfriend alone because she will live with me forever even though she won’t be my wife,’’ Yoosung told you, making you smile brightly.

Jaehee

Finally, marrying for the both of you wasn’t a problem anymore.

However, deep inside you didn’t want to get married.

Sometimes you were just scared of changes and wanted to keep things the way they were - for example the relationship between you and your girlfriend Jaehee.

However, you were afraid of her reaction.

Both of you decided to sit down with a coffee around the table while the doors of your coffee shop were closed.

,,Thank God we closed for lunch time,’’ Jaehee laughed as she brought you your hot meal.

,,Yeah,’’ you responded, thinking how busy you were for the last four hours.

,,Okay, Mc...there is something off, please tell me what’s wrong?’’ Jaehee asked you.

,,I’m sorry, Jaehee… I was just worried… like, I am afraid of what will become of us if I tell you what is going through my head,’’ you honestly began.

,,Just tell me, nothing will change. I promise you,’’ she assured you and took your hand.

,,I...I love you and I want to stay with you and have a family, I want to work with you, be your best friend and so on… but I don’t want to get married.

I don’t know why, but I am just against it.

The whole attention, the money… I just don’t want to. Is that okay?’’ you asked her, playing with your hands and licking your lips nervously.

Jaehee stayed silent for a few seconds, but then smiled.

,,Mc, I would never force you to anything if you don’t want to, it’s okay. As long as we are together, I’m okay with it,’’ Jaehee said as she took your hands and smiled even warmer.

,,As long as you’re happy, I’m happy too,’’ she nodded.

Saeyoung

Saeran was healthy and happy by your side, Jumin managed to do something with the twins’ father after a long time, and everything was returning to normal.

You and Saeyoung were engaged for three years by now and the wedding preparations finally began.

However, the stress did too.

You and Saeyoung went to sleep alone for three nights in a row by now and both of you were unhappy 24/7.

You were simply unhappy with the theme he decided to go with and… well, you didn’t know what he was angry for.

But he was, and the more he was, the angrier you got.

It didn’t take any longer when you spoke up the fourth day.

,,I can’t take it anymore,’’ you hissed, making Saeran look up from his plate.

,,I don’t like the location, I hate the flowers, sorry Saeran, but no!’’ you hissed, since he chose the flower, making Saeyoung glare at you for hissing at his brother.

,,I don’t like the dress, I hate the shoes, and I dislike the decorations. I don’t like the food, I simply don’t like -’’

,,The groom either?’’ Saeyoung asked you, hitting the fork on the table and standing up, making him look taller than you.

,,His attitude,’’ you hissed.

,,Good, cause it’s the same for me,’’ he groaned.

,,Good! Same here!’’ you yelled.

,,Let’s call it off!’’ he hissed and turned away, regretting his words right away.

,,Yeah! PLEASE!’’ you shouted, feeling better now.

However, a big misunderstanding was growing in the room.

Thank God Saeran asked both of you if you were breaking up.

,,NO! YES!!’’ both of you responded at the same time, looking at each other’s eye with panic written all over your face since no one expected the response.

,,We aren’t breaking up, are we? I mean, I still love you… I just want to call off the marriage…’’ you mumbled, now slowly tearing up as you realized that your fiancé was breaking up with you.

,,NO NO NO NO NO!’’ Saeyoung whined, jumping over the chair and hugging you.

,,I thought you were breaking up with me…’’ he whined and kissed you on your head.

,,Let’s stay together, but let’s call off the wedding…’’ he whispered and finally felt much better.

[koganeirou]

I bitch about Rika on this blog a lot so in the name of spreading some equality, I’m gonna make a compilation of my worst otome boys ever due to the popular demand of four people. 

disclaimer 1: everything is just my personal opinion and this post is mostly satire for shits and giggles so please don’t take it too seriously. this isn’t a personal slight to any fans because I’m not trying to make anyone feel bad for liking any of these characters.

disclaimer 2: there may be spoilers for the games I mention.

disclaimer 3: I’m only going to go off the games I’ve played myself. I know that there are a helluva lot more games in JP with all sorts of terribad boys but nevertheless I’m not gonna trash talk characters from games I’ve never played. 

disclaimer 4: yes, I spent way too much time on this. and yes, I absolutely do need a better hobby.

disclaimer 5: lots of hate filled words below.

anyway this list is my top ten worst otome boys ever.  time to maKE EVERYONE MAD.

10. V / Kim Jihyun (Mystic Messenger)

I was very hesitant on putting V on this list because I have a bunch of followers and mutuals who are V fans but I did it anyway and because of that I’d like to offer a formal apology to them for betraying their trust LMFAO. Anyway my dislike of V mellowed out throughout the years and after playing Saeran’s route, I don’t really have as much beef with him as I used to. But even still as far as him being a love interest goes, his route made me cry tears of genuine frustration and made me want to bash my head against the wall if it isn’t obvious from the montage above. I’m probably giving him more grief than he deserves but nevertheless his route left me very unamused and very salty.

9. Chojiro (Nightshade)

Like V, Chojiro isn’t a bad guy but his route and personality makes me cry genuine tears of frustration. His route was terribly written; there’s no character development, no closure is given, and the angst and tragedy felt cheap and flavourless. Gekka’s route deals with almost the exact same plot points as Chojiro’s route except... one hundred times better. I honestly wish Ieyasu got a route instead of Chojiro, and it hurts to admit but I think Nightshade would have been a better game if they omitted Chojiro’s route entirely. 

8. Kim Yoosung (Mystic Messenger)

I remember when I first started playing mystic messenger, back when I didn’t know anything, I thought V was shady af  so I was genuinely respectful of Yoosung because he seemed to be the only one with any damn common sense and didn’t just trust V blindly.

But then V’s route dropped and it took Yoosung’s very grounded suspicions of V and cranked it up from “suspicious” to outright “whiny victim blamer” where he outright accuses V of being the reason why Rika committed suicide. What the fuck? That’s horrible. He constantly implies that V didn’t do enough for Rika, that he should have tried harder, he should have saved her, that him being a bad boyfriend was what pushed Rika to suicide and LIKE????? how about you S t o p @ Yoosung??? And I get it, he’s 18/19, his wounds from Rika’s death are still fresh and he can’t help but deal with his grief in an incredibly harmful and immature way. But just because I understand that that doesn’t mean I have to forgive him for it, let alone like him LMFAO.

7. Kagiha (Psychedelica of the Black Butterfly)

Apparently Kagiha is pre well liked from what I’ve seen LOL. But once again, other people may like him but that doesn’t mean I have to. His entire character revolves around the heroine and he has no motivation or wish outside of his love for the heroine, a love which honestly felt incredibly shallow. He refers to Ai as “the woman he loves!” but like??? fam you barely even know her. He latches onto their childhood promise of marriage and it almost feels like he’s using it as a tool to corner Ai so she can’t reject him. And it didn’t end up catastrophically because Ai did reciprocate his feelings, but what if she didn’t? What if she grew out of that childhood promise and didn’t want to be more than friends? I don’t even want to imagine how he’d take it because I doubt it’d be pretty. Everything about their relationship felt superficial and shallow.

6. Ikki (Amnesia) 

There is a fine difference between “making someone wait” and “standing them up on every single fucking date” and this fucker very much adheres to the latter. His character is uninteresting and his route ended up being a chore to get through. He’s not a bad guy at heart but as far as him being a love interest goes, I wouldn’t have a one night stand with him even if you paid me to.

5/4. Meyoyoyoyoyo & Orange Juice Von Garibaldi (also known as Mejojo and Auger) (Black Wolves Saga)

Meyoyoyoyo and Auger are freakishly crazy cat twin princes who have a fetish for spending violin playing sessions beating people half to death in torture chambers. How Romantic. Why need OST when you have Auger’s fiddle?

I postponed this post because I had to finish their routes before putting them on this list. I literally reserved a spot on this list for them. Now these two go together because I can’t talk about these motherfuckers unless they are together. Then again, I think I can safely let the montage above do the talking for me. The only reason why they’re not at the top of the list despite making Rika creating a cult look like child’s play is because weirdly enough, their insanity is what makes this game so good. But good writing isn’t going to stop my impending heart stroke when I think about them. Their routes are pretty much there so the writers can not-so-kindly tell us that “love does not redeem everyone” and “some people never change”. Like Ikki, I wouldn’t have a one night stand with either of them even if you paid me to.

3. Jiyeon (Dandelion) 

I have literally nothing more to say other than he’s an abusive asswipe and no lukewarm, “tragic backstory uwuwu” is going to make me like this fucking asshole. like wow “boo hoo someone I loved was murdered right in front of my eyes so I’m gonna take out my pent up anger on this innocent girl who has nothing to do with me :(” “boo hoo I don’t want to get close to this girl I like because I’m scared she might get hurt so I’m gonna be a insufferable jackass so she stays away!” gee where have I seen that before. My bleeding heart can’t take it.

2. Toma (Amnesia)

Haha I bet everyone thought he was going to be first, but nah, he’s second. I’m going to let the montage above do most of my talking. If it isn’t obvious enough by the giant montage above, I bitch about Toma a lot //bricked.

1. Nesso (Black Wolves Saga)

He’s objectively not as abusive or as bad as the douche twins mcGee but unlike the twins, he doesn’t have the proper writing to justify him being gross. Plus, those two get hit with the karma bus if only Rika suffered half as bad of a fate as them while most of Nesso’s antics are swept under the rug, thus he ranks higher than them.

Older brother to the heroine by blood? Check. Madly in love with the heroine to an unhealthy degree? Check. Constantly makes unwanted advances towards her, even when she was a child? Check. Touches and kisses her without her consent all the time in his route??? Check. Does not value the heroine’s autonomy and believes that she can’t think for herself or make her own decisions? Check. Asks the heroine for sexual favours in his good ending because he knows she won’t refuse???? CHECK.

This guy’s behaviour towards the heroine is full blown predatory zone and coming from someone who has an “anything goes” attitude in otome games, his route is so wrong on so many levels. It’s even worse because Fiona never actually gives her consent to any of this, and every time he touches or kisses her she’s just like “why are you doing this to me? aren’t we siblings?”. Nesso’s route is pretty much a glorified encyclopedia on “why incest is bad 101″ and thus he wins the platinum trophy for grossest and worst otome boy I’ve encounter thus far.

Nhoooi just like the finale of Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun, so cute! :3 Hope you like this!

NEW YEAR’S SPECIAL

Confessing during fireworks

Zen

He was so happy he would be spending the New Year’s Eve with you

He wasn’t planning on making any moves on a day like this, no, he would wait a little more…

In order not to be recognized by his fans, he suggested you guys should watch the show in a more secluded place… but no, this definitely wasn’t a move.

So you were away from the crowd when the show started.

 “SO PRETTY!” you yelled, grinning at him. “YEAH!”

“I’VE NEVER SEEN SOMETHING SO PRETTY!” “YOU HAVEN’T? I HAVE!” he smiles sweetly, his eyes dart down to your lips. Ugh… no moves, Zenny, come on…

“WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MIRROR?” you smile playfully and nudge him, looking at the sky. So… so cute…

 “No, when I look at you…” he mutters, staring you in complete dazzling. “I love you…”

You keep looking at the sky and smiling, he sighs and smiles lovingly. He’ll definitely confess this year once the time comes!

When the show is over, he suggests you guys go grab something to eat. He stops walking when you grab his hand.

 “It means a lot when the most handsome man I’ve ever seen thinks I’m pretty…” Oh… so you heard… wait, if you heard that, did you…?

“I love you too.” Well, now he definitely has to make a move to kiss you…

 Yoosung

Boy was stoked you agreed to hang out with him on New Year’s Eve.

This year, you would be hanging out as friends, so… maybe next year, you’ll be together on a date?

He feels all tingly just imagining it, but… he has to confess first.  Well, it’s happening this year for sure!

You guys were in the middle of the crowd when the show started.

 He was mesmerized by the fireworks, but… you were quite mesmerizing too.

He looked at you, wow… so beautiful… how lucky is he to spend the first night of this year with the person he… loves the most…

 “I love you so much… I swear I’ll let you know this very soon… I love you, MC…”

The show ends in that exact moment, oh no… oh… did somebody hear this? Did you… hear this?

A drunken smartass passed stumbling by the two of you, spilling beer on you and making Yoosung clench his fists in anger.

“Hey, you! Apologize right now!” he tries to go after the guy, but you stop him.

“No fighting, Yoosung, come on…” “But MC! He just- he was…” “Tonight is all about love…”

 “L-lo-love?” he gets beet red as you smile sweetly. “Yep, and though it’s very cool and manly that you’re defending me, I think there’s nothing cooler than confessing…”

“You.. you heard it? MC, I…” “I love you too, Yoosung.” You lean to kiss him, whoa… so he managed to be together with you on a date this year, huh?

 Jaehee

She was having fun being dragged by you all over this New Year’s festival

She was surprised you actually invited her to hang out with you. Her, out of all people!

She wondered if you had any other intentions rather than hanging out as friends… oh, what was she thinking? Projecting her feelings on you like this… tsk…

You took her hand and guided her through the crowd to watch the fireworks.

You were looking at the show above of you, while she couldn’t focus that much, your hand holding hers was so distracting…

 So she looked at your hands… gosh… you make her heart beat so fast…

 “I-I… I love you…” she mutters.

Lady barely noticed the show was over. Wait! Did it end before or after she…?

You look at her and widen your eyes. “Are you okay, Jaehee? You look so red…”

“I… I’m fine, MC…” she avoids your gaze, feeling her face getting even redder.

“Are you sure?” “Yes, of course…” she finally looks at you and smiles, making you smile in relief.

“I’m glad… it would be so weird if you got sick right after confessing you love me…” Uh oh…

 “Hope you don’t get sick now that I’m telling you I love you too…” “N-no… I would feel better as ever…” she says before going for a shy kiss.

 Jumin

Of course he was curious on spending the New Year’s Eve commoner style.

 But what really made him say yes to your invitation was… well, you.

Because this felt like the perfect moment to tell you about his feelings. Yes… he wouldn’t postpone this anymore…

You were in the middle of the crowd, the people stumbling on you were bothering him.

So he placed himself behind you, putting his hands on your shoulders as your shield.

The show started, and it was really enthralling… another thing enthralling? This need to close the small gap between his body and yours…

“ARE YOU HAVING FUN?” you yelled, turning your head to look at him. He nods.

“I’M GLAD, THEN!” you smile. God… how can you be so charming?

“And I… I LOVE YOU!” did he really shout just now? Odd… “WHAT?” Oh… you haven’t heard him…

“I said I...” no, it wasn’t just the fireworks, there was the noise from the crowd too.

So he does it, his hands travel to circle your waist as he presses himself against you and reaches for your ear.

 “I said I love you…” which was… unnecessary, because the show ended that exact moment.

 “I love you too…” you place your hands over his.”And I actually heard you on the first time…” he chuckles and narrows his eyes at you, trying to ignore the blush on his cheeks when you reach for his lips.

 Saeyoung

 He had no intention to go out on New Year’s Eve…

But it was surprisingly impossible to say ‘no’ when you invited him to watch the fireworks.

Well, not that surprising… he would never say ‘no’ to the chance of hanging out with you, not just on New Year’s Eve, but… pretty much everyday.

And he didn’t regret his decision at all when you guys were having fun, eating, talking and waiting for the show to start.

Yeah, all he needed was this little push to finally tell you how he truly feels now that everything is okay with Saeran and he left the agency.

 It’s about time to be honest…

The show starts, but he couldn’t care less, all his eyes can focus on is you… then you turn to look at him staring at you…

“SOMETHING WRONG?” “NAH! I WAS JUST HERE THINKING ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU!”

“WHAT?” “I LOVE YOU!!!” “WHAT???” Oh, for God’s sake… he grabs his phone and types quickly.

“CHECK YOUR PHONE!” he yells and points at his phone. You nod suspiciously, but take your phone.

“I’ve been yelling that I LOVE YOU for the last 15 minutes like an idiot…” you read his text, giggling as you type the answer.

“I know, haha.” He laughs, but he knows his face is super red. “I love you too.” He answers with a print of your “I know, haha” answer. You roll your eyes before leaning towards him to kiss him.

 Jihyun

He was thrilled that you agreed to join him to celebrate New Year’s Eve

Yes… this couldn’t be more perfect, spending the end of the last year and the beginning of the new one with you.

It was so perfect he felt like telling how he feels would ruin everything… what if you got embarrassed? That wouldn’t be a nice way of starting the New Year, huh?

So he would just enjoy having some quality time with you… that was more than enough for him.

He didn’t want people bumping into you, so he suggested you guys to watch the fireworks a little away from the crowd.

The show started, and it was fascinating… he was so glad he had his sight back to watch this, and even better, to watch it with you…

 You look at him and smile, he feels his heart skipping a beat, smiling back and trying to shake this need to hug you and bring you closer.

“I LOVE FIREWORKS!” you yell. “ME TOO!”

“But I love you even more…” he mutters, the words escape his lips before he even notices it.

He looks at you, you’re still looking at the sky. Whew… good thing you didn’t listen.

When the show is over, he feels extremely embarrassed. Maybe… maybe he should go home and calm down…

“No! You can’t go! It’s so early and we’re having fun, aren’t we?” “Yes, sure, MC… I’m just… I...” “You didn’t like the fireworks?”

 “N-no, I loved them…” “I loved them too… even though I love you more, you know?” he freezes for a second, finally giving in to that need of hugging you.

 Saeran

He isn’t a fan of big crowds or loud noises, but…

He is the biggest fan of going out with you, it would be fun if you’re the one who invited him.

He wonders if you knew that… do you have any idea of how much he likes you? Meh, probably not, he’s not that great in showing you… not even telling you…

How pathetic, is he really considering to confess? This new year thing is giving him some lame ideas… being rejected in the first day of the year would be awful!

So he was quieter than usual when you guys met, he felt like any word leaving his mouth would be a hint of how he feels…

The fireworks start, and he stares at them fascinated. Only until he senses a pair of eyes looking at him.

 He winces by seeing you looking at him and smiling. “WHAT? WHAT’S WRONG?”

 “Nothing… I just love...” what? You love what? He didn’t hear it… well, since you’re watching the fireworks, he assumes you said you love fireworks.

“ME… ME TOO!” he yells back, confused when you blush and look away. Huh?

The show is over, and he feels annoyed by your sudden silence. “What’s going on with you?” he asks.

“Me? Oh… guess I’m just… surprised.” “Why?” “It’s just… I didn’t expect you to say you love me too…” “WHAT???WHEN…? HOW…? When did I say that?”

“The… fireworks… I said I love you… and you said ‘me too’…” OHHHHH… “I… I though you said you love fireworks…” you give him a sad look and blush, looking away. Oh no…

“Say it again.” “What?” “Say that you love me, I’m listening…” “I… I love y-“ “ME TOO!” the both of you widen your eyes, but he immediately closes them when you lean to kiss him.

First date with RFA+Saeran

Yoosung

I think his St. Valentines DLC states your first date was right after you first RFA party, if not 1 or 2 days later. Also thought Yoosung might be remembering it wrong he says you went to the movies then took a walk in the park then you went for coffee and finally you stopped by the bookstore on your way home so there is not much to theorize here.

Even though he already met you he is really really nervous. He is also very self-conscious because of his eye. He probably changed clothes at least 3 times before leaving his house, he also tried a bunch of new hairstyles and still he arrives to the meeting point at least 40 minutes before… when you arrive he tells you he just got there of course.

At first it is awkward. He just doesn’t know what to do. Should he try to hold your hand as you walk? What should he talk about? He never had this problem on the chatroom!! Why can he talk to you normally? Should he start talking about school or lolol or the weather? You might be curious about everything he hasn’t tell you yet about his trip to mint eye but he feels it’s not the right moment.You break the ice asking about the movie you are going to watch. He blushes like crazy but he manages to tell you the tittle and ask you if it is ok or if you’d prefer to watch another. Honestly, even if you tell him you want to watch the scariest scary movie in the world he is totally up to do it. 

You end up watching his chosen movie.During the movie he is still nervous and hesitant but after it is over you start commenting about it so excitedly that he forgets about his shyness and is able to keep the conversation.The rest of the afternoon goes smoothly and you both have a great time. 

During your walk on the park he finally gets the courage to hold your hand and he is very happy when you don’t back off.  After that he only lets it go to buy coffee and when you say goodbye at night.

After the date he goes home and waits for you to text him you arrived safe to your apartment. Then he goes to sleep with a smile on his face.

Zen

It was about a week after your first RFA party. If he could have his way he would have taken you out that same night but after all the fuss with the media you both agreed it’d be good to wait a little

He really tries to get his outfit to look casual but you can tell he put a lot of effort in his image for that day. When you compliment him on his looks he replies “Well, I have to look good when I’m taking my princess on a date”

He picks you up at your home exactly at 8 pm and takes you to nice a restaurant for dinner. It’s not a fancy place but it has a homy vibe that makes it really comfortable. Also there isn’t much people around so there is low chances of him being recognized.

Talking comes easy. You chat and laugh about the last party, his last audition, his modeling job at C&R. It is really comfortable till a couple sits on the table next to you and the girl recognizes him.

He gives you an apologetic smile before giving the girl a photo and autograph. Thankfully after that she goes back to her table… a few days later Seven sends you a link to the girls facebook page where she posted the photo along the comment “I met Zen at a restaurant the other day. He was at a date with his girlfriend yet he agreed to take a photo with me, he is so nice!! #IhopeTheyAreHappyTogether” after all that had happened it’s nice to know some of his fans support your relationship.

After dinner he takes you to his house and to the balcony where you talked the first night you visited him. You talk till late night, now you two are really alone you feel comfortable to talk about everything: what you like and dislike, your fears, your pasts, your hopes for the future. The moment is just so private and perfect.

At some point you two stop talking and he finally kisses you… after that he half-jokingly suggests you could stay the night. Whether you accept or not it’s up to you

Jaehee

It took her a while to understand her feelings for you and then she had to be sure you liked her back before even inviting you out. If you add the recent aperture of your coffee shop, well let’s say your first date was delayed a bit… probably a little after St. Valentines since I feel on that DLC she was already sure of her feelings.

She rehearses in front of the mirror how is she going to ask you out. She waits till you both are closing the café to approach you and gets really embarrassed while talking but she manages to recite what she practiced without stuttering…then she needs to plan a date.

She doesn’t even know where to start… coffee date? Too predictable, Picnic at the park? Boring, watching a musical? How is that different from your usual Friday night? Then she remembers something she loves and she hasn’t done with you yet. Hiking. She really hopes you like it.

She tells you in advance so you are ready for it and she chooses an easy relaxed path since she hadn’t done this in a while and she is not sure whether you have any experience.

It’s confortable and uncomfortable at the same time because talking and having fun with you is so easy for her but she is nervous and worried. She wonders whether she is walking too close or too far from you, whether she should show any kind of physical affection or if it is too early.

When you stop for lunch she unpacks a wide variety of delicious snacks and a thermo with coffee. You two sit on a riverbank to eat.

She looks so calm and relaxed on that environment. This is a new side of her, different from the Jaehee that was Jumin’s assistant, the owner of the café, Zen’s biggest fan or your best friend… and of course you liked this side as much as all the others. You blush a little when she catches you starting at her and reluctantly you tell him what was on your mind.

Now she is embarrassed but also happy.

You two return home and before saying goodbye you give her a kiss.

Jumin

The day right after your first RFA party.  This guy is just so eager to spend more time with you he can’t wait.

Does this guy know what moderation is? No, he doesn’t. He takes the day off to plan the date and carefully prepares every detail. RIP Jaehee.

He sends you a new outfit and asks you to be ready at midday. Driver Kim picks you up and you meet Jumin at the restaurant he had gone to with his father a few days before since he remembered you seemed interested on it.

He is waiting for you at the entrance with a bouquet of flowers and the biggest smile you’ve ever seen on him

He tries to hide his nervousness but you notice it right away. He is tense the whole time.At a point you have to remind him it is not the first time you two are alone together so he should relax. He is low key embarrassed about how he acted when you stayed at his penthouse so it doesn’t help much. But when you hold his hand across the table and tell him everything will be alright it does.

He totally keeps holding your hand and caresses the engagement ring as you speak.

He really wants to know more about you so he asks a lot of questions. What do you like? What do you dislike? Do you have any family? How was your childhood? How is your job/school? If there is something you don’t feel like talking about he’ll drop the subject and ask about another thing.

After lunch he takes you for a boat trip, then dinner and dancing. He just wants to do the most with the time he has with you, the only reason he didn’t plan more stuff is because the day is too short.

In all honesty he is kind of disappointed when he realizes is already late night and he should take you home. He enjoyed your company so much everything seemed too short.

He takes you home and only leaves after making sure you are safe inside and after arriving to his house he makes sure to call you.

Saeyoung

You two had to wait a little before having your first date. During the firsts months of your relationship Saeyoung was completely focused on helping Saeran and you wanted to do everything in your hands to help both of them so you didn’t even think much about it… it was just when Saeran recovered that Saeyoung realized he hadn’t taken you out on a date yet and he decided to do it right away.

He wants to do something big and special and perfect in every sense… he has so many ideas of things he wants to do with you but at the moment of choosing nothing seems special enough.  

He keeps the plans for the night a surprise (good luck choosing what to wear because with your boyfriend a date could mean literally anything) even after picking you up. No matter how many times you ask, he is not telling you.

He chooses his favorite baby for that day and he downloads your favorite music to listen while on the road because you are in for quite a long drive.

He takes you to a place in the mountains for stargazing and a picnic with all your favorite food and drinks. He also sets little lights on the surroundings bushes and trees to give it a magical atmosphere.

At this point in the relationship you are already pretty comfortable around each other so neither of you has any problem talking about anything or with physical contact. Actually his arms are wrapped around you all time (except while driving of course) and there are no awkward silences.

It is so fun, calm and intimate you lost track of time and end up falling asleep hugging each other under the stars.

You both wake up at dawn cold and sore for sleeping outside and on the ground  but you don’t care, you both just laugh at how silly you were and start picking up to head back

Jihyun

The day after his good ending.

During his 2 years away he imagined a bunch of ways that date might go but when the time comes he is not sure what to do.

He wants a place he can calmly talk with you. He knows you want to know everything about his trip and there is so much about you he wants to ask. This date is the perfect opportunity to get to know each other better.

He finally decides to take you out for coffee.

The place is cozy and warm. You two settle on a table near a window and the conversation flows smoothly; to the point you two don’t even know how much time has passed since you arrived.

At some point you two start talking about his paintings and the exhibition his is preparing and he decides to change the plans a bit and invite you to his house to show you in person.

Once you arrive you understand why did he preferred to show you his paintings rather than keep talking about them… you can see his real being and most inner feelings reflected on each one of them

One catches your attention more than the others, you are not sure why. The combination of colors and shapes is so calming and warm. You could swear you heard a song coming out of the canvas. You are so enchanted by it you don’t notice him hugging you from behind.

“This is my favorite too…It is about my mom…I hope one day I can paint something about my memories with you”

You don’t answer, you just turn around and give him a kiss.

Saeran

I might need to rewrite this after his route comes out…for now let’s go with an AU when things end up similarly to Saeyoung’s route but you and him are just friends and you and Saeran fall in love during his recovery.

So I think he is the one that takes more time after the ending to go on a date with you because he firsts needs to heal from everything that has happened to him and even though you are there through all the process he is still unsure about how he feels about you, then he needs to tell you and that’s equally hard.

Actually you are the one to invite him on a date. You two are hanging out together and you do something he finds utterly cute and he unconsciously mutters “I like you so much…” he thinks you didn’t hear till you say you like him back and ask him for a date. He is kind of flustered and confused.

“Wait...she said she likes me back? For real? This wasn’t part of the plan…what do I do now?”

He shyly accepts thought he doesn’t really realize what happened till a bit later “he has a date with you!!” after that he is so excited. And nervous…. Very nervous, I think even more than Yoosung.

Knowing it might be uncomfortable for him you try to keep it simple so as cliché as it sounds, Ice-cream date it is. You tell him to meet you outside his favorite ice-cream store after lunch.

Most of the time he is not the talkative type but that day you discover that when he is nervous he rambles quite a lot. You find it cute but he is really embarrassed.

You both try to act normal around each other. It is not even the first time you go out alone together but you fail spectacularly.

Knowing he likes to be able to see the sky you plan to take him outside afterwards so you invite him to take a walk around town.

At this point he is a lot more comfortable with the situation so there is not much talking. You mostly enjoy each other company in comfortable silence. After a while he gets brave and holds your hand.

He insists in taking you home afterwards even though it is not that late and as soon as he arrives to his house he texts you asking you for a second date.
