What Ties You to Him & What Ties You to Me

Zen x MC

a/n: listening to sad BTS and shower thoughts will give you the oddest hurt/comfort ideas.

MC's breath huffed out in a small puff of cold air. The screen of her phone was bright in the early winter morning. She tugged the blanket over her shoulders more, regretting that she'd chosen to sit in just her pajamas out on the front stoop stairs.

The text message glared up at her, a single sentence from Jumin. "The flight from Munich to Seoul was a nightmare."

He sent that an hour ago and she still hadn't found the courage to respond. What was she supposed to say? Thanks for disappearing to Germany, going dark, and then coming back married! Honestly, MC should've been impressed. Korea's poster child disappears for six months and the worst speculation had been he'd found better business in Europe. The idea made her sick. How could someone so iconic and so seen just one day slip into obscurity? Again the overwhelming nausea worked it's way up to her throat.

When Jumin left he'd promised to let her know when he landed—had asked her if she wanted a souvenir upon his return. She expected nothing less from him, he was her best friend afterall. At least she considered him so...whether he saw her in that light or not, she couldn't say. Not anymore. And it wasn't like she could voice it.

Being the doting boyfriend he was, Zen had taken immediate notice at the drop of her emotions. The constant upset worry and depression at the growing time of Jumin Han's departure. With the first day of nothing, she summed it up to him being tired after a long flight. On the second day, she figured he needed time to settle in. Day after day, she came up with a new excuse for Jumin's absence from everywhere: their texts, the RFA chatroom, even the news. And it wasn't like she was waiting without action during his radio-silence. She texted him every day at first. Tried calling too at times. The humorous thought of him not purchasing an international phone plan crossed her mind at times too. But MC didn't vocalize. Zen always noticed the warped look on her face after another day of quiet, and even when he wanted to say something, he kept it to himself. She knew her boyfriend was going against his very nature to poke at Jumin's misgivings—he had a knack for stoking the business man's irritation that way. But no one was more conscious of Jumin's distancing than MC. So Zen left it be.

And she almost gave up too—so many times she'd written a goodbye which followed a list of worries and concerns about him. But she could never send. So she moved on instead. She removed their conversation from her recent texts and forced herself past. Jumin had always been one for emotionally distancing himself with needed. This must have been one of those times.

But like his lifelong best friend, it seemed that Jumin would not be coming back. And he had no intention of letting any of them—not her, not Zen, not even Jaehee, Yoosung or Seven—know either.

Until today.

She'd heard it on the radio first. How C&R's heir had returned from a staycation in Germany to wed and honeymoon his beautiful bride. The news on TV confirmed that. But his message to her, left little to no information for divination.

MC wiped at her nose, insisting that it was the cold and that she was definitely not crying.

A flash of silver caught her attention and her gaze jolted up, wondering if it was Zen passing by during his morning jog. But the moment slipped away and no one was there.

Sighing, the pads of her fingers dug into the phone screen. He acted as if he'd never left, never not said goodbye, never left a trace. Even if they both pretended everything was normal again, she was still worried. Why did he leave? Why did he leave for so long? Why didn't he say anything, not even a farewell? MC asked these questions over and over again until she was dizzy. Maybe it was selfish to want an answer, but she wanted something. Anything.

"Babe."

She looked up and this time Zen was there. He wore his black baseball cap per usual, and his hair neatly tied back in a bun. He wore a dark jacket and his running shorts over his leggings. So he was on a jog. But in his hands was a bottle of water and a piping hot cup of something.

"You looked cold earlier, your nose was running." He handed her the styrofoam cup. "The coffee shop on the corner was open, and I needed water anyways. It's really important to stay hydrated in the winter, you know?"

He stretched his arms over his head before plopping down on the steps next to her. "MC, do I even want to know why you're out here in your pjs? What would happen if another man saw you?"

Taking a sip of the drink—a pleasant surprise of hot chocolate—she giggled.

Zen leaned forward and rested his elbow on his knee, propping his chip up with his hand. "I saw the news."

MC took another sip of the beverage before resting her head in his shoulder. "He texted me."

"Did you respond?"

She shook her head.

Humming, he laced his hand in hers. "That's okay babe."

"Is it really?" She wondered if he was just acting, or worse, just humoring her.

Zen pressed his lips to her brow. "I'd be more worried if you were jumping up and down for joy right now."

She peeked up at him, gaze tentative under lashes.

"You're always gonna love the stupid prick," he muttered grumpy, nuzzling his nose against the crown of her head. "So it makes sense if you're still upset and concerned."

"Zen..." his name was whisper on her lips, moments like these where he wasn't flamboyant or too much were treasured and the things he said here. MC recognized that far off look in his eyes, the rueful pain that conjured a mirror image of Jumin without it actually being the CEO in Line.

"You'll always think of them, always be frustrated and worried." He curled his lip and made a disgruntled noise before swinging her a smug look. "Don't get me wrong. I know what ties you to him and what ties you to me are totally different loves. Clearly I have the superior one."

This time, MC did laugh.

"But the way you feel right now is fine, honey. Other than V, you were the only one able to get under that thick skin of his." He continued, hand tugging her up. "And that silver-spoon jerk under yours. Take this at your own pace, sweetheart. You don't have to force the upbeat friendliness."

MC found she couldn't respond. She didn't need his permission. And yet having it...

"Have you eaten? Let me make you breakfast," Zen chirped, leading her up the stairs back to her apartment.

"I've only got a few eggs and some onions," she murmured back, one hand still in his and the other clutching her phone.

"Omlettes then!" He smiled brightly, giving his arm a little swing. "And then grocery shopping after my rehearsal. Can't have my princess going hungry."

MC pressed to Zen's side and snuggled close. He laughed and shook his head, pulling the blanket tighter around her. He muttered about how she'd probably catch a cold and how she really should pay attention to how long she sat out on the front stoop. With a smile, MC took his playful chiding and decided he was right—she pocketed her phone and handed Zen her keys for the apartment.

[owo-shenanigans]

Yes my dude I got you! But if you ever need to chat or just have some dumb memes you can always message me! I don't bite! Also I'm not going to do Saeran because I really can't think of anything :(( I might add him later if I can! @kaitlin0134

Yoosung

Oh no

What does he do??

He'd get closer to you, all proper procedures flying out the window as he tried to calm you down

He would be so scared and worried for you like my god

After it was over and you explained what the heck it was he'd be like OoO oh no

Obsessed with you almost to the point of creepyness Yoosung to the rescue!

He'd do a bunch of research to try and be the best!!! Boyfriend!!! Ever!

After that, when it happened he'd probably panic at first but slap himself to get himself together and do whatever the websites recommended.

Jaehee

MC? Can you hear me?

Probably the most naturally prepared when it first happens as she recognized the signs of a panic attack

Got exceedingly worried when she couldn't find any triggers but still tried her best to help you out of it

Once it ends she gets you a nice drink and a blanket if you're at home

Be ready for her to look up all the reputable information within three days

When it happened again after that she'd be prepared and do whatever she could to help you through it smoothly, sending anyone nearby to get water and rubbing your back, always repeating her name.

Zen

You were out shopping when suddenly your hand went out of his??? What??

When he looked back at you he saw your face freaking out

His dumb ass instantly said "MC! Are you having an allergic reaction?!"

But then he realized no you weren't

He had no clue what to do so he just made sure that nobody was near you

Once it was over he took you home and asked you about it, including what to do in the future

The next times that you have a panic attack, he touches you carefully to try and ground you, always saying his name so you wouldn't freak out

Jumin

So it happened while you were in his apartment

And damn if he didn't feel absolutely awful once he figured out what it was

He'd probably get a doctor even as you protested because he needs to be sure

Once the doctor confirmed it and gave you both advise on what to do Jumin would be very confused about it

But take his job very seriously and give a lecture to his employees about what to do

Jaehee would be sympathetic and probably the second best person to help you deal, after Jumin

If it happened again after he'd rub your shoulders while saying "It's me. It's Jumin." To ground you.

707

Oh boy did you say panic?

Thankfully he already knew from your medical records when he first hacked your info

But he didn't expect to actually need it

When you first had one he felt like a piece of shit because it was his fault!!

He'd clear everything away from you so that you wouldn't get hurt

He'd feel so guilty that he'd probably add to the robot cats code to help you in case you had another one

Saeran probably had those when they were children, so Saeyoung would know the hand on the heartbeat method

He would feel really bad about triggering you until you managed to get through to him about how it wasn't his fault

V

Oh no not again

He'd be so panicked and worried he wouldn't be any help at all. At all.

Once your attack finished and you managed to tell him what it was he'd probably look it up online but

He wouldn't understand any of it so he'd have to go to you and ask for advice on how to help

He'd be way too scared to touch you because what if he made it worse?! But he'd make sure that nobody touched you or got near you

Maybe after a few years of dating he'd use the heartbeat touch method because he'd find it mildly romantic

He's a bit of an idiot

Rika

Oh shit did the sacrifice scare you

But it was in honor of your love!

No but for real the instant it happened she'd freak out because this is the one area that she doesn't know

If you're in public her polite lovely girl facade would crack to show the 'will not take shit from anyone if it'll hurt her sweetie' Rika

So when you become aware again be prepared to see anyone who was trying to touch you or get near you on the ground with their arms tied up

The instant she noticed you were okay she'd just hug you tightly while calling a car to go to the hospital because her precious MC had a panic attack!!!

Once you managed to tell her what it was she'd ask if you'd still see the doctor so she could know what to do better

Be prepared for her to enlist the whole RFA to help her research information about it

The next time that you had one she'd have some police tape in her purse so no one could get up in your space

She'd probably hug you, making sure to say her name multiple times first so you would know who she was

Kate

Oh fuck what

Umm MC are you okay!?

She probably wouldn't understand what was happening for the first few seconds because she's a dumb bitch

But when people start recording you?? Oh hell no she's going to punch some fools

She did not punch some fools but she did take their phones and delete the footage

And threaten them all with death and hacking if they didn't back off while taking pictures of their faces

The area got clear fast but unfortunately it took long enough that your attack finished so she wasn't able to comfort you :(

She'd bring you both home asap because what if it happened again!?! You don't need food

She'd ask you a bunch of questions about how to best help you and what to do

So next time it happened she would probably hold your hands together after stating her name like ten times

[mysticsituations]

Ola :) can I request some hc for the RFA reacting to a mc who was working really hard to get a promotion, to the point of exhaustion even, but in the end one of their colleagues, who didn't put half as much effort in it got the promotion, please? :3

Yay my first request!

You had been working at your job for 3 years. It was well past time for you to get a promotion in your opinion, and a spot just opened in an upper level position with a pay raise! In order to stand out, you took on extra projects and double-or-triple checked all your stuff, so you ended up pulling multiple all nighters in a row. When the day came to announce the new promotion, you wore your best outfit and held your head high. The boss then walked straight past you and shook the hand of your office mate, a known slacker and real piece of work. The worker shook the boss’s hand and made a comment about how hard work really pays off. You held it together until you made it home, where you closed the door to your apartment and bounced your head against the door as you tried to hold the tears in.

Yoosung:

-He had prepared a nice meal to celebrate your promotion.

-he knew you had been working non-stop, and he had more than often found you working even after he was done playing LOLOL.

-not to mention he was feeling a little neglected as you worked nonstop, but he had swallowed it down and smothered you in as much care as he could.

-He was super worried about you, and he was so happy it was about to be over and all your hard work was about to pay off.

-when you walked in the door he had just finished putting the food on the table, and he ran to see you when he saw you banging your head.

-”MC? MC what’s wrong?”

-”They gave it to my office mate.”

-Yoosung looked like a fish with his mouth hanging open like that. He knew your office mate. That person was a slacker- even Yoosung knew that. 

-To be honest, he was pissed. Yoosung knew how hard you worked and how deserving you were of that position. He had some unrealistic hope that people who worked hard automatically got the best job and the best pay- at least that’s what they taught at school. Jaehee had told him that simply having good grades doesn’t guarantee anything, but it really didn’t sink in how unfair the corporate world was until now.

-However, he knew you needed support. If there is one thing he has learned from you, its that simply being hateful and resentful doesn’t get anything done.

-”MC… I’m so sorry this happened to you. Do you want to talk about it?”

-You shook your head.

-”How about we eat this food, and then we can watch a movie? A movie with stupid bosses who get what they deserve!”

-you laugh and take his hand as he leads you to the delicious food, and as you take the first bite you realize no matter how hard your job is, Yoosung is always your rock. With him by your side, you will always have a supporter who appreciates your hard work. You do the best to return the favor and give him a lot of attention since you’ve been neglecting him for work recently.

Zen:

-Boy oh boy was Zen READY for you to get this promotion

-Between you working for your promotion and him working on his latest show, You guys barely saw each other.

-His show had come out last weekend, and you were only able to come to opening night, although you did go all out and get him roses and totally took the evening off for him.

-He offered to take you to the cast party, and you had declined, saying you needed to work on something again. He was disappointed, but after all you had sacraficed for him, he figured it was the least he could do to support your career as well.

-He had felt guilty when he came home from the cast party at 2 AM and you were still wide awake, papers strewn across the room and dark circles under your eyes.

-When you had left this morning in your best outfit ready to take on the day, he told you to take a selfie and send it to him when you got your promotion.

-As the day went on with no selfie, he started getting nervous. You had probably just forgotten, but he had a bad feeling.

-That feeling was confirmed when you came home and banged your head on the door.

-”Babe… Please don’t hurt that beautiful head of yours…” He said softly, reaching behind you and turning you to his chest.

-When you mumbled that your office mate got it, he was furious. That person definitely didn’t deserve it!

-He scowled at the thought of how big wigs like your boss didn’t understand the hard work you put in- just like that trust fund jerk, they didn’t understand a hard working person and how much they deserve to be recognized.

- He dropped a kiss to your head and started swaying back and forth, singing a song from his recent muscial.

-When you didn’t seem to be following, he switched to your favorite song.

-”Dance with me, babe. We can look at the stars and pretend this day never happend.”-Later that night he distracted you with his body if you know what I mean huehuehue ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Jaehee

(this one is you trying to switch to a part time position while you are getting ready to open your cafe. You thought you could handle having both jobs until the cafe got more money.)

- You had been working super hard at your job recently, and Jaehee was worried.

-As someone who often overworked herself, she knew what it looked like, and you were overworked.

-Personally she didn’t like your job at all. The end goal for both of you was to work full time at the cafe and leave your job, but with her handling a lot of the finances and records for getting the cafe open, you were the only one making money at the moment.

- You needed to get switched to a part time position now, but your job had limited availability for those jobs, and you needed to prove yourself in a different expertise to get it.

-It wasn’t something you were necessarily good at, so it took a lot of work to do. Not to mention you were trying to run the cafe stuff as well.

-You were totally swamped, and you didn’t do much to ease Jaehee’s concerns.

-”This is just temporary, Jaehee. Once I get this done, everything will be smooth sailing!”

-She smiled at your enthusiasm, and tried to tend to you as much as you would let her. She even helped you sometimes with your tasks if she finished early.

-The day came, and she made you a special latte art of a star in your morning coffee, telling you that you were a star no matter what happened today.

-Well the worst happend.

-When she saw you enter the door and beat your head, she knew what happened.

-She had felt that feeling herself.

- “Oh, MC…” She said softly.

-Jaehee wasn’t much of a touchy person, but she knew you needed a hug right now.

-She wrapped you up in her arms, and felt your tears on her shoulder.

-”MC, I will repeat the words that you said to me earlier this week. All of this is temporary. Soon, we will have this cafe up and running, and you will not need your strenuous job.”

- When you told her that your office mate got the position, she straightened her back a bit and squished up her nose in disgust.

-”I rememeber how it felt to be overlooked for an employee with less drive and ambition… I know how angry and distraught I felt when employers didn’t respect all I had done for them, especially Mr. Han… But Love, this is truly just a stepping stone. Your true dream job is here, with me. In our lovely cafe that you have blessed me with. Please, don’t forget our dream is here… and My dream will always be with you.”

-At this point you melted. Jaehee was always so good with words. You smiled up at her and kissed her on the cheek.

-’Thanks, Jaehee… could we watch some of Zen’s musicals now? I think that would make me feel better.”

-Jaehee smiled brightly and you too spent a beautiful night watching Zen and complaining about stupid jobs and how excited you were to open a cafe together.

Jumin

-You had insisted on keeping your job even after you were married. You said you didn’t like being cooped up in the penthouse all day, and you had fun at your job.

-Jumin was happy you liked what you did, and he tried to be supportive even though he really wished you could live in total luxury without the need to work, but he loved your hardworking attitude.

-When you came to him a few weeks ago speaking of a promotion that became available, he thought it was only right that you get it, as he could see how talented and dedicated you were to your job. You were the kind of person he wanted at C&R and any good boss would appreciate you.

-Little did he know you did not have a boss that was very good at recognizing potential.

-When he started coming home to see you swamped in work, he offered to help, but you insisted you could do it yourself, and you didn’t want to make him work after he had just come home.

-After a few all nighters, he asked again if he could help, or even hire you an assistant, but you insisted you were fine.

-When he came home after a long night at the office to find you asleep on the living room floor surrounded by paper, he had had enough and put you in bed for the night. You had freaked out the next morning about how you didn’t have time to spare for a night of sleep like that, and Jumin had to lightly scold you for not taking care of yourself.

-”My love, I need you to take care of yourself. You are so precious to me, and no job was ever completed by working yourself into the ground. A night’s rest will do you well.”

- He was right of course, and you did a lot better now that you were rested.

-When you left for your job that day, Jumin had had the chef prepare a well-balanced breakfast for you. He kissed you as you left the penthouse, and decided he would come home early so he could celebrate with you.

-He put on a slightly nicer suit than he regularly wore and had the chef make sashimi and wine for you to dine on in celebration.

-When he saw you dejectedly enter the penthouse though, he rushed to your side.

-”My dear, what is wrong?”

-”They gave it to my office mate- you know, the slacker? He made a speech about how ‘hard work really pays off~’”

-Jumin turned you towards him and brushed his fingers through your hair.

-”My love I am so sorry. Who do I need to call to make this right? I know you deserve more than this- and I will do everything I can to make it so.”

-You sniffled and laughed at his intense desire to help.

-”It’s okay Jumin... I don’t need the promotion anyways I guess... I just really wanted my hard work to be recognized...”

- Jumin stared into your eyes for a moment before smirking a playful smile.

-”You want to be acknowledged, you say? My dear, I can acknowledge you as long as you want.”

- He kissed at your cheek, your eyes, and the side of your lips, speaking of all the wonderful ways you make him a better man and acknowledging all you do for him, before passionately kissing you and lifting you into his arms.

-He brought you to the bedroom and ‘acknowledged’ you all night long and pampered you the whole next day as he called into work and got you the day off.

Seven:

-Again, with Saeyoung it wasn’t really about the money but just the acknowledgement that you wanted the promotion.

-You were in your dream field and were about to be promoted to a higher position so that you could do more of what you liked.

- Saeyoung was starting to understand the miracle of having a dream job now that he was building all these toys in his free time and opening a shop to sell them. He wanted you to enjoy your job too.

-When you started to pull all nighters, he was probably the most worried. He knew just how bad it was to mess up your sleep schedule and to work through meals. You had been the person who had stuck with him through his job, and he knew he owed you the same courtesy, but he honestly wasn’t sure he could handle all the worry he had as he watched you slave away at your work at 4 AM.

-So was it really that bad that he had slipped some sleep aid pill into your drink after your fourth all nighter? Probably, especially considering how panicked you had been when you woke up 14 hours later. You guessed it was him who did it, and you had ignored him all day out of spite.

-Now he knew how it felt to be ignored, and it made him all the more mad at himself for doing this to you when he first met you.

-That night you apologized to him with a bag of HBC that you had been saving to get him to eat better, and he told you he was sorry for drugging you. He had just been worried.

-You sighed and kissed him as you told him you forgave him.

-A few days later you left for work in your best clothes, and he had cheered for you all the way out the door.

-He had been working on a toy all day while waiting for your arrival back home, and he had even put on some nice clothes himself to take you out for dinner and a ride. He usually had date nights at home, but you deserved a special night tonight!

-However, when you came home and hit your head against the door, he sprung into action.

- “Hey, hey! Who dares to beat the head of my beautiful fiancee?”

- “A loser who didn’t get a promotion.”

- Saeyoung frowned at this.

- “Baby, you are not a loser. You worked really hard- I’m sure they just don’t realize how good you are!”

- “Yeah, obviously. They chose my office mate.”

-That stunned Saeyoung. He knew your office mate from when he visited you at work. He was constantly looking up videos and talking on tripter whenever he was there, and you constantly complained how you always ended up picking up his slack.

-”MC...”

-”I just... I want to pig out and pretend this day never happened.”

-Saeyoung pulled you into his arms and kissed your head.

-”Now that, we can do.”

-You both went to your room and put on your comfiest pjs, ordered fried wings and all other kinds of shit to eat, and pigged out in the living room while watching your favorite kdrama.

-At some point he pulled you close to him and looked into your eyes with his soul pouring into you, and he whispered into your ear “I don’t care if those idiots at your job don’t see how special you are... You will always be loved and appreciated by me.”

-He got a big kiss for that one.

- The next day your boss had stripped the promotion from your office mate when his computer history and time spent goofing off had been brought to his attention, and you were given the promotion instead! Saeyoung swears it wasn’t him.

[mystic-head-canons]

Hello! I love your blog, so could I request headcanons for the RFA + Unknown + V & Vanderwood how they would react when mc comes out as asexual? (She first didn't want to tell bc she thought they would break up)If you're uncomfortable with it it's ok

Being asexual myself, this actually makes me very happy. Also, like to point out, the main thing about asexuals is that we don’t experience sexual attraction. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that an asexual has no desire for sex, and some people are completely down for it, but you really only hear about sex-repulsed asexuals. That’s not going to be the case for some of these.

Yoosung

He might be… a little disappointed, but respects her

If MC told him she did want to have sex, he would probably be happy to comply, but would be a little confused until MC explained, asexual doesn’t mean having no desire for sex

Yoosung’s biggest thing would controlling his own desires towards her and trying to make sure he doesn’t make her uncomfortable by pushing any of her limits

Jaehee

why would this matter when they’re only friends?! (I’m still bitter)

When MC comes out to her, Jaehee asks a ton of questions, researches it extensively to try to figure out being asexual means and what it means to MC

Jaehee is okay without sex, and as a result, she’s perfectly happy to just have a cuddle partner on the couch

Besides, kissing isn’t off limits, and being able to kiss MC nice

Zen

MC is the type of asexual that enjoys sex, but she just doesn’t experience sexual attraction

Even then, once Zen finds out, he respects her sexuality, and is probably a little more careful when it comes to sex

They’re still sexually active, but she sets the pace for them more than he does

Zen happily contains the Beast TM just to be with MC

Jumin

Well… MC never really brought it up, and she seemed fine with sex, so he never even wondered about it

It wasn’t until some woman at a party struck up a conversation with MC (unbeknownst to them both that Jumin was within earshot)

The woman basically said that MC had married Jumin because was sexy and wealthy

MC, first of all, shut down the notion of the money, real quick, because she was used to it and could do so easily

Second of all, she stated plainly that she was asexual, and while she recognized that Jumin was indeed a very sexy man, she doesn’t experience sexual attraction, ergo, this woman has completely misread her

When they get home, Jumin asks about asexuality and makes sure he hasn’t made her uncomfortable or pressured her into anything

After assuring him that he didn’t, Jumin suggests that they retire for the evening and they cuddle

Saeyoung

Saeyoung suspected by the way that she shied away from anything sexual, so when she came out he was a-okay with it

He even makes a list of a ton of asexual safe activities, including bowling, movie watching, and amusement parks

Besides, his religion pretty much states that people who don’t want sex are the holiest people

So Saeyoung practically worships MC, holding her and loving her, but never pushing her for anything she’s not comfortable with

V

All he asks is that MC only does what she is most comfortable with

So the moment she comes out to him, he asks what that means to her and what he can do to make her the most comfortable

After MC explains that she has no sexual attraction and is actually very repulsed and frightened at the prospect of sex, V respectfully agrees never to pursue sex with her

He makes sure that she’s okay with physical affection, just so long as it’s not sexual, and he even prefers if MC initiates the contact because V doesn’t want to mess things up or make her uncomfortable

Saeran

Dude has some serious trauma regarding physical interactions with people, so MC’s physical distance isn’t something he immediately registers

As he warms up to her, they get more physical, starting with small gestures, like hand touches, brushing the hair out of the others face, etc.

The biggest gestures turning into hand holding, hugging, and eventually even kissing

When Saeran attempts to take things further, as he’s interested and he understands there’s meant to be a natural progression with these things, MC stops him and explains that she’s asexual and doesn’t like sex

Now, she also admits that she’s never tried it, and she’s curious if only to try and learn, but she’s kind of scared and would like to wait and slow down

While disappointed, Saeran backs off and waits

Considering the patience she’s had with him all this time, it’s the least he can do

Vanderwood

I kind of head canon Vanderwood as asexual too

So when MC tells him that she’s asexual, he’s very chill about the whole thing

Just kind of shrugs and says, “Good. I am too.”

When they spend time together, it’s mostly just sitting on the couch watching TV, with his arm around her shoulders and her snuggled into his side
