#I mean Yoosung is sweet and kind also adorable

[natasha-in-space]

Hey im the matsuda enjoyer anon who pointed out that he and yoosung are basically the same guy.

I cant help but imagine......what if they met, i mean in the age of social media its not impossible. While I dont think matsuda was a gamer but he was very much into pop culture and so is yoosung.

What if they both unite over their love for a certain kpop group (in my head its Girls Generation) and become internet friends

I can imagine after the good ending yoosung prolly might go to japan a couple of times for work related stuff or just to enjoy with MC (and drag seven with him as well)

What if the now mid-late 20s yoosung (who is a vet) meets the now early 40s matsuda (who is still a cop but is confined to desk jobs cuz the task force was tired of his shenanigans). What if they decide to share a drink and eventually have a long conversation. What if they start their talks by talking about their shared interest and eventually ending up venting after realising that they had been through a similar journey (being infantilised by their friend groups grief low self esteem yet keeping an optimistic outlook in life) and perhaps share advices to each other whilst being drunk which struck a chord in each other's heart.

I can see matsuda being an older man advising yoosung but i could also see yoosung (who has accomplished a lot in a short time despite his own struggles with loss grief and of course the eye injury) advicing matsuda. Both of them reassuring each other that it will get better (bye im crying)

Good to see you back Matsuda anon! I must say, this ask made me grin so wide as I was reading it. I adore it when people make two of their faves meet and become friends. It's such a sweet notion, both as a way of expressing your shared love for these characters, as well as a neat basis for new interesting analysis. (It's my own guilty pleasure as well, hehe)

Meeting someone who understands what it's like to struggle with grief, conflicting feelings about someone who was once very important to them, and the frustration of never being taken seriously due to their young age would benefit them both greatly. While they both must have overcome the last problem by that point, discussing it with someone who understands can still be very cathartic.

Having a good friend who can make Yoosung feel comfortable and understood is something he deserves. It's also heartwarming to think of Matsuda becoming a new kind of role model for Yoosung! Not on the same level as it was with Rika, but just as a figure of strength and motivation for him, when things are tough. Having friends who are older than you can be a very beneficial experience as you are moving through life!

And as for Matsuda... It'll definitely do him some good to have someone with whom he can openly discuss what he had to go through. Sure, he has a few people like that, but none that can actually fully relate on a deeper level. I also think he'd be super impressed by Yoosung. By all that he managed to overcome and achieve in his (relatively) young age. His determination to better himself and to protect his loved ones, him finding (or rather resurrecting) his passion for his own path in life, and him resolving what conflicting feelings he still held for Rika... It's so much, and it's-

It's inspiring.

I know I said that Matsuda can become a new role model for Yoosung, but it goes the other way around as well! Having these talks with the younger vet can greatly motivate Matsuda to work on himself further and pursue what he truly wants. It's never too late to restore your happiness. It's rather sweet to think about, actually. Two people who share similar painful experiences planting fresh seeds of hope into one another that everything is going to be okay. As you put it: it will get better.

On a lighter note, the thought of them being fans of the same girl groups makes me giggle. (Them going to a Girls Generation concern??? More likely than you'd think! Although Saeyoung will definitely tag along and create some mischief) I feel like they both are still struggling with openly expressing their likes and interests, as they got teased for that in the past, so it'll be very beneficial to them to have a safe space to chatter excitedly about this or that, without fear of being judged. Being passionate about something is not a bad thing, and should be celebrated! On that note, they will definitely send each other exclusive merch and buy each other tickets for events. There are some benefits to having a friend in a different country!

Overall, it's nice to think of these two being good buddies. It's what they deserve. And I love reading your thoughts on them! :)

MysMe and their Best ShinyMas girls

Niche crossover made for me myself and I (in hopes of maybe convincing more people to get into Idolmaster Shiny Colors)

Yoosung would produce Chiyoko! Chiyoko is a cheerful, kind girl who does not think she's particularly interesting. She's insecure about being too "normal", and I think Yoosung would relate to that as he expresses such concerns about being the only "plain" member of the RFA. Chiyoko brands herself as the "chocolate idol" (because her name sounds like Choco), and she's a good cook to match her brand! She's also quite observant of her friends and is reliable! I think Yoosung would want to support someone like her and help her shine!

Zen is either going to produce Mikoto out of kinship or out of spite. Mikoto loves idols with her whole heart and cannot imagine a life where she is not an idol. She started training as a teenager, and she has more memories of idol lessons than of high school. She had a rocky start but found a second chance at 283 Productions. Zen would see himself in this workaholic, and whether he'd love or hate to see that... well, his narcissism is all a facade, so Mikoto may force him to face the qualities of himself that he's insecure about.

Jaehee knows that her oshi in real life is Zen, but for a game? She'd be a fan of Sakuya. Aside from her princely appearance and behavior that makes girls swoon (in the game and among players), Sakuya is a hard-working, cool, independent girl who wants to make others smile. She's not always good at relying on others, and I think Jaehee would acknowledge and relate to that. Sakuya is the common sense among the quirky L'antica idols, but she will play along in their antics! Maybe like... a silly taco song...?

707 is usually the type to prefer quirky or cat-themed idols, but once he spots twins with red hair and gold eyes? Oh, he's done for. He's an OsakiP, but he's especially fond of Tenka. He loves how she tries her best and pushes to be stronger even with her severe depression, and he also adores Amana for being supportive and always eager to help. He can't help but think of Saeran, even though Tenka is the older twin; helping her bloom makes Saeyoung feel like his choices can help Saeran thrive one day, too. He only produces the twins together! When it's Tenka, then Amana is in the first support spot. They do Fes together and jobs together. He will NOT separate them!

Jumin is definitely a NatsuhaP! He has major respect for her, because even though she comes from a wealthy family, she wants her accomplishments to be in HER name from HER effort! She works hard to live up to her name. Jumin takes that to heart. He can't help but think HCG is a tad similar to the RFA, too.

V finds himself producing Madoka. He isn't sure how it happened, but he actually knows exactly how it happened and doesn't want to admit so. Madoka is blunt and straightforward, and she is fiercely loyal to her friends, going to great lengths to ensure they are safe and comfortable. He can't help but be reminded of a certain someone. However, Madoka is also... quite harsh with her Producer, going so far as to curse him and say she hates him. V... well, V's self-hatred speaks for itself.

Ray is undoubtedly going to produce Mano. How can he not? She's sweet as sugar and gentle as can be. She's content making friends with birds and soaking up sun in a park. Her self-confidence isn't great, but Ray would be eager to show her how much he cares about her, far more than anyone else can. He'd want to protect her shy, genuine innocence... by any means necessary.

Suit Saeran would only support the idols he thinks are strong enough to flourish. But when he finds himself irritated with Mamimi's personality, his stubbornness ends up with him producing her. Mamimi is the type who acts out or is deliberately lazy to get attention, always trying to be a "bad girl" because she was a spoiled kid who was never reprimanded by her parents. That's the opposite of Saeran's life experiences, so he can't stand her. But the way she keeps pushing to tease and torment him... It's hard to tell who is the cat and who is the mouse. "I hate her," he says as he produces all of her cards so he can unlock more dialogue to see if she eventually breaks down.

GE Saeran would support hardworking idols going earnestly for their dreams! He's going to develop a soft spot for Kogane, who failed countless auditions but kept going towards the next ones. She's not the brightest bulb, but she is determined and strong-willed! Her belief that she can succeed is what keeps driving her until she does! She's clumsy and ditsy, but Saeran would find her honest, positive demeanor endearing. He may struggle to understand her thick Nagasaki country accent at first, though!

Unknown doesn't waste his time on games. But if his Savior told him to try it... He would pick an idol the same way he would pick someone to send to the apartment. Which means he's picking Koito, because she's a hard worker and studious. She could make a good assistant... if she didn't squeak and hide all the time like a mouse seeing a hawk. Koito is bright but her meekness holds her back, and she's been compared to a "pet" for Noctchill. He'd probably enjoy watching her panic in some of her commus... Unknown, be gentle please....

SE Saeran is a HioriP. He pretty much only plays for Hiori. He started begrudgingly at the behest of his nagging twin, but then he got attached to one (1) character. Hiori is diligent and serious, and Saeran doesn't suffer fools. She's also quite blunt and speaks her mind plainly. She can be a bit harsh when she speaks, not because she's mean, but because she's not good at communicating her thoughts and feelings. Sometimes this backfires Her stoic, icy appearance is misleading; she's kind and pure-hearted.

Vanderwood thinks the game is a waste of time... initially. But Vandy has a track record of going soft for precocious brats, so when they find Nichika? He's in trouble. Nichika is passionate, feisty, and dedicated. She can be quite stubborn and cheeky, which both amuses and frustrates Vandy when he plays. She isn't naturally skilled, but she works hard and he'd admire her work ethic. Nichika also has this tendency to get others to spoil her with her little sister energy, and Vanderwood is not immune. They'd ultimately go soft for her when they find how insecure she actually is.

Rika produces (and kins) Fuyuko. At first she was intrigued by Fuyuko's cute design, but as Rika dove deeper into her character, she was hooked. Fuyuko introduces herself as a cutesy, bubbly, attentive girl, and she asks her producer to call her "Fuyu." But she only behaves in this manner because she thinks that's the only way to get people to like her. The Fuyuko beneath "Fuyu-chan's" mask is stressed, snappy, and serious. She doesn't show her true self because she thinks she's not cute or nice enough to be an idol, despite how much she loves idols. Her greatest fear is being rejected and scorned by others. It's no surprise that Rika is drawn to her and wants to support her & her dreams, as kindred spirits! (Two pics to emphasize her two sides. Fuyuko's cards tend to be "kawaii" initially but then bolder and darker in Fes form.)

Hi Kait! ^^ If it’s ok with you I was wondering if I could get a match up? Your writing is always so wonderful!

I’m Korean-American, and I have dark brown eyes and really long black hair. My MBTI is INFP. Some of my favorite hobbies include drawing, reading, writing, photography, gardening, taking walks, and listening to music. In terms of books, I like a lot of the classics! I also enjoy singing, swing dancing, and playing the piano. I’m quiet, reserved, and introverted, but I’ve been told I seem to always be smiling. Though I’m definitely more of a homebody, I’m open to any new experiences! Although it takes me a while to warm up to people, I get along with everyone and become more talkative and playful once I’m comfortable with someone. I prefer deep conversations to small talk, and I love listening to people talk about their passions. I laugh easily. My friends tell me I’m gentle and sweet, but that I can be too innocent and naive because of my tendency to see the best in people. I believe in second chances and forgiveness, though I’m still learning how to be compassionate towards myself. I am an over-thinker and major perfectionist who tends to worry a lot. I feel both my and other people’s emotions deeply, which means I can be overly sensitive at times. I think my empathy is one of my biggest strengths, though. As much as it hurts when other people are hurting, I’m glad if I can be there for someone if they need me, whether they’re in pain or just want someone to celebrate with.

I’m studying psychology and do like it a lot! But my true love is art. I’m fascinated by the world and find so much joy in capturing all the wonderful little moments of life in drawings. I chose psych over art school (originally planning on going on to med school for psychiatry) because there are people in my life who don’t approve of my being an artist, but I’ve since promised myself to be braver and plan to pursue art after graduation no matter what they say. Both music and visual art touches my heart in ways I can’t describe, but visual art does so exceptionally. I love drawing, and time never flies by as quickly and unnoticeably as it does when I’m sketching. I especially love being able to tell stories through my art, but I really like any form! Creating art feels like breathing, to me. The world is full of so many beautiful and inspiring things, and I love drawing out how I feel or going outside and painting sunsets. Although I am rather afraid of bugs, I love nature and flowers and taking walks in autumn. My neighbors might think I’m a little strange, but I like dancing outside in the summer rain, as well. While I adore all seasons, I particularly like being able to wear sundresses with cardigans in the spring. I like cute things and dressing up, and more often than not I’ll be wearing ribbons in my hair. I’m told I’m similar to Beth March from Little Women and Tangled’s version of Rapunzel. My overall primary love language is physical touch, but my giving and reception of all five love languages are pretty evenly matched!

I hope that’s enough! (or maybe too much? Haha) Thank you so much for your time, and I hope you have a lovely rest of your day <33

I match you with...

Yoosung.

So, you're the kind of person who wants to experience anything and everything you can. Even if the world can be difficult and hard sometimes, the only thing you can think about is sharing a smile with the rest of the world. You want to be able to see everything. You want to be able to understand everything.

Even if you have to learn things that are less than appealing, there will always be a brighter day on the horizon where you remind yourself that being alive means you get to experience the sunrise every morning no matter how many times it goes away at sunset. You are hopeful and that's a quality that not many people have in this world.

That's why the perfect match for you in the situation is Yoosung. You're both following the paths that feel right to you. You have a passion that may not be the career you're following through, but it's something you hold near and dear to your heart and having somebody who understands what it feels like to have a passion that means the world to you is something that's hard to put into words. It's like being seen for the first time.

When you have a non-traditional hobby that may not be accessible to you as a career, you still want to explore it and expand it. You love art and he loves baking, for example. Imagine how much fun you can have by blending those two things together and creating new experiences with your hobbies. Imagine how much fun it would be to decorate a cake together because that's one way to make art and sweets.

He is inspired by your inability to give up. You find him at the lowest moment of his life and thanks to you, he can believe in himself. He hopes that he's able to give you the experience to believe in yourself, too.

Wondering of during Saeyoung time with the RFA members after the event of he "received the disk with Saeran's pictures", especially with Yoosung who's sweet and kind, did Saeyoung got something like a dejavu when he's spending time hanging out with Yoosung? Like did his mind automatically reminded him of Saeran???? During their childhood, Saeran is a sweet, soft and kind person so I'm curious if sometimes it's triggering his inner mind and memories of Saeran.

[anonymousbaev]

(Working on two other lovely requests as well! Check my Masterlist regularly to see what I’m working on!)  (｡♥‿♥｡)  

                                                      !!WARNING!!

                              !!PROFANITY AND TRIGGERING SCENES!!

☆ Yoosung ☆ 

☆ Since day one of you joining the RFA, he definitely had his guards up against you but, ended up always somehow taking an interest towards you. That interest grew to an attraction and soon into love. Yoosung just knew you were the one. You understood him so much and you had a deep connection with him no soul could break it. You loved him too, you also felt like he was the one for you. The person to marry, to have kids with, the person to hold hands and grow old with till death did you apart. However, it wasn’t really that simple. Every time he tried to express his love to you he gave you rather aggravating compliments as he compared you to Rika.  It made you doubt yourself, did he really love you? Or did he see you as a substitute for someone that couldn’t be with him anymore. All you wanted was for him to see you as you. It hurt you everyday and even if you have never mentioned it, he could take the hint and he regretted it every time he compared you. But it was like a habit, it was almost like he was programmed to say it.

☆ One day you had been sitting against the bedpost as you read a book before going to bed. Yoosung came in as he took a seat next to you, he suddenly apologized to you. Out of the blue he says, “Mc...I’m so sorry.” This was so random but his voice was so gentle and he had such a guilty expression on his face. You were a little scared as you replied, “Why?” You place your book down on the nightstand.

☆ He held your hands together, as he began to tear up. You only had a baffled expression before gently swiping his tears with your hands. You tried to calm him down but he only continued to apologize, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I always compare you to Rika but I don’t mean to. You’re so sweet, understanding, lovable, supportive, and...and so much more! But I don’t tell you that...I always only tell you that you’re like Rika. And that’s not true. You’re, you.” Your heart stings at his last words. They were exactly the words you wanted to hear. Either way, you continue to hear him out still a bit baffled, where was this all coming from?  He takes a while to breathe in to continue, “It was never my intention to hurt you, but it doesn’t change the fact that I did. So you don’t have to forgive me. I’d understand.” He begins to sob as you hug him. “Yoosung, It’s okay. We’ll get over this, I know.” He continues to cry as he barely screams out, “Don’t...act like you’re fine when you’re not! You’ve been hurting yourself!” You let go of his hands, now he’d just doubled your confusion. “Babe what do you mean?” He leads you to the bathroom, he points to the trash can. In the can there's Toilet papers soaked in blood. Did he think you were harming yourself? But that wasn’t true in fact... Your face blushes red, they were from wiping blood from your ass. “Babe...IM ON MY PERIOD!” (┛ｏ`皿′ｏ)┛彡┻━┻

☕️ Jaehee ☕️ 

☕️ After moving in with Jaehee, you would notice the two of you getting into arguments quite often, but they always ended up in fluff. You've always thought Jaehee was the one for you. You wanted to get married and start a family of your own with her. However Jaehee didn’t really mind, she just lived in the moment. Just happy you were her girlfriend and she was your girlfriend. This is what she thought, until one day, you were invited to your friends wedding. You offered Jaehee to come with you, and she gladly accepted.

☕️ The ride to the hotel where the wedding would take place did not take long to get to. You linked arms with Baehee as you greeted your friend. Your friend looked beautiful in her glamorous white bridal gown. Jaehee had never been invited to a wedding before. She thought everything was cool as she explored with awe in her eyes. 

☕️ When it was time for the main event you and Jaehee took a seat at your table. The lights went off, the only light in the giant ballroom were the spotlights that flashed the charming groom. The music started playing as the beautiful bride entered with another spotlight flashing at her. The Processional had started. The bride slowly walked down the aisle, linked arms with her dad and a flower girl throwing flowers along the sidelines. Jaehee just imagined it for a moment. She imagined she’d be standing waiting for you down the aisle. She imagined Seven proceeding the speech for both of you, as you walked down the aisle in a alluring white gown. You would mesmerize everyone in the room, but you’d only walk down that aisle for Jaehee, and Jaehee only. Her heart thumped so fast at the thought. 

☕️ It made her realize that in fact, yes she did care. She did care if you got married to her, and she had exactly wanted to start a family of her own with you. And when she looked at your twinkling eyes as you watched your friend. She just knew you were the one. (◡ω◡✿)

🎤 Hyun/Zen🎤 

🎤 Like Yoosung, Zen just knew you were the one. When you first joined the RFA his lighthearted flirts may have just been a simple interest towards you. But as time went on he was so curious about you. You were always patient and kind hearted. You gave him so much support, and he saw that. You were the only one to know his inner scars, the pain he had never told anyone before. Even with the RFA members he’d spent years with, you were the first he told. You felt the same, and it was like you were both meant for each other.

🎤 However, it had never crossed his mind to be married with you. It wasn’t because he didn’t love you though, it was because he had never thought about it. He was always just focused on you, like Jaehee he just lived in the moment, treasuring every second he got with you.

🎤 It wasn’t until one day you had been over at his house. You both drank until your heart desires. Soon you became drunk and started feeling light headed before collapsing on Zen. He sweetly smiles as he helps you sit back up before kneeling in front of you. He places his hand against your cheeks, “Are you sleepy?” You nod, still drunk. He blushes as he quietly mutters ‘cute’. He helps you walk to the bathroom as he guides you to brush your teeth. Half awake with the help of his hands you’re able to use the spare toothbrush he had kept. 

🎤 He places you in his bed and lays down on the floor right next to the bed. He tries to fall asleep but every 10 minutes he’s awakened with the sound of a loud crash. He feels something heavy on him as he notices that you keep falling out of bed into his warmth. How’d you manage to fall out of his king sized bed every time? You’d whisper to him about how you wanted to feel his warmth. He had to calm his inner beast several times after hearing that. After it happened over and over again he was not having it. 

🎤 He laid you down on his bed again but this time he got in with you. He spooned you with his arms around you. You finally stopped wriggling and stayed to fall asleep. The next morning he jumps up to see your adorable sleeping face first thing in the morning.

🎤 He blushes seeing you in his bed, sleeping so soundly, not even a earthquake would wake you up. His mornings have always been boring, he got up and everyday it was always lonely and empty in his apartment. Then having to wake up by you he felt something. He felt so warm and relaxed. He realized how much he had wanted you to be the one to wake up with every morning. He just instantly knew you were the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. (◡△◡✿)

♛ Jumin ♛ 

♛ After everything you both had gone through, Jumin just gradually came to know he wanted you to be the one he would be with. Nobody else but only you, could ever fill that desire of his. 

♛ The small things you would do for him, or the small things you would say to him, they just all piled up into an emotion he was unaware of, love. Even after marrying you so soon he never stops finding even more reasons to love you.

♛ There had been one day when the two of you had been visiting Jaehee at her café. The place was so busy Jaehee didn’t even notice the two of you come in. Jumin hated how the place was so loud and cramped, but you’d begged for the two of you to come and if you wanted or needed something he would do anything to get it for you, so here the both of you were.

�� “Sweetie what should we get? I came here with Saeyoung last week, everything tastes so good!” You lean over to him as you share a menu with him to look at the category of appetizing drinks and desserts on the list.

♛ “You came here with Saeyoung? You could’ve always brought me-” You place the menu down before crossing your arms, “That’s not important right now!” You giggle as you hold the menu back up to continue looking for what to eat.

♛ Suddenly, a child with a tray of drinks in her hands accidentally trips spilling the liquid all over your black pencil dress. Jumin is in a hurry to help you get napkins for you, he doesn’t want you to catch a cold.

♛ Yet, you give him a quick smile before proceeding to crouch on the floor to make sure the child is okay. Jumin’s angry at the situation but he would never be angry at the child, he knew it was an accident. He crouched next to you as he kept a arm around your shoulder. You help the child up as you say, “Are you okay, little one?” The child nods with a apologetic look. You assure her it’s okay and she returns to her parents. They apologize to you as they are in panic not knowing what to do before telling them you’re fine. He’s surprised at how good you’re with kids. It makes him wonder what’d be like to have a child with you. Especially one that resembled you. 

♛ “We can come back in the future, let’s get you some new clothes darling.” You nod as you both leave after waving at Jaehee who finally noticed you two when the child spilled her drink on you. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

👓 Saeyoung 👓 

👓 Saeyoung became more busy by day, he was tasked in a pile of work but weirdly, you felt like he was just overworking himself in a excuse to push you away. With the help of Saeran and Vanderwood you successfully took Saeyoung out with you to a park for a date.

👓When you got there, the fresh smell of flowers were the first thing you noticed. There were not a lot of people, but it was better this way. You were also glad you wore jeans because the grass was untrimmed it looked like a jungle.

👓 You laid down on the grass near a river as he reluctantly followed you and sat down. It was quiet for a while before you pointed out at the clouds that had funny shapes. You pointed one particular cloud out implying they looked like Saeyoung glasses. He chuckled a little before noticing it. He looked away embarrassed as he tried to act like he did not just laugh.

👓 You laugh...a little too loud it makes him refuse to look at you. You pout as you push his shoulders to make him lay down. You smile a little mischievously as you block his view from the sky. You place a small peck on his lips and holds his chin, “I know what you’re afraid of, but I won’t leave. I’m here to stay, unless you continue pushing me away. Or... is that not why you’re avoiding me? Have you...lost interest in me?”

👓 His eyes widen at your words as he furiously pushes you to switch positions. Now he’s on top of you. “No! That’s... that’s not true. I love you. I’ve always wanted you to be my little 606 from day one till the day death would do us apart.”

👓 “Then you need to show me that. You need to stop pushing me away because that will do us no good. Cause...I’ll always be here for you and you will always be here for me in the end.” He nods with a grin ear to ear before leaning in to kiss you. (◕‿-)

🌚 Saeran 🌚 

🌚 Let’s be honest, Saeran just knew you were the one when you showed him love and sincerely cared for him. But if there was one thing stopping the both of you from happiness, it was that he kept pushing you away like Saeyoung because he thought he wasn’t good enough for you. He thought you deserved so much more than a “mess” like him. But you knew that wasn’t true. He was more than what you wanted. He just didn’t have the confidence to see it though. 

🌚 It was another chilly day, the house felt so hard to breathe in. Maybe it was because of the rain that came overnight, or the silent treatment and cold shoulder Saeran gave you. Saeran had been in the bathroom for so long it had started to make you worry.

🌚 “Saeran? You okay darling?” You knock on the door, but you don’t want to barge in because you know he’s having a hard time. You want to respect that and give him space. He yells back at you, “JUST LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE! UGH...” You hear his groan at the end and feel something is terribly wrong.

🌚 You rush in and thankfully the door is not locked. You see him on the floor with a razor in his hands. His arm is bleeding and you fall weak on the floor in front of him. You hold his hand gently before hurriedly trying to get napkins only to end up ripping them by how quickly you are trying to rip them. You continue to sob as Saeran sits not knowing what to do. He instantly feels bad, he wouldn’t have done it if he knew it would hurt you this much. He knew you were always usually a happy person. And you rarely cried. But for you to be crying it meant that you were painfully sad. 

🌚 You press down on the wound to stop the bleeding. You place your other hand against his cheeks as you cry out, Saeyoung rushes in with Vanderwood. They immediately take Saeran to treat his wounds. It takes a bit but after noticing the therapy sessions Saeran went to weren’t helping him he stayed home with you. At first everyone worried because he was so clingy to be with you, he wouldn’t even let you go anywhere. 

🌚 Later, that got better when he came to realize that he didn’t need to change for him to deserve you because you always reminded him that he was already perfect. \m/(>.<)\m/

♧ Jihyun ♧ (In reference to his song “The Compass” ●´ω｀● )

♧ It was the day before V would leave to travel around the world so he could learn to love himself before rushing into another relationship with you. You wanted to give him something before you left so you went over to his house. You ringed the doorbell but there was no answer. You found it strange because Jumin had told you Jihyun would be home. Worried, you peak in the window. Yes its kind of creepy but for the sake of this headcanon... You see that he’s home but he’s going over his pictures with Rika, pictures he’d taken of Rika, and her belongings. A unknown wave of emotions rushed over you. Why were you crying? You knew that what Rika and he had was just obsession not true love. But you still understood that he needed to recover and forget about Rika. So... why were you were crying? You calmed yourself down reminding yourself that you needed to give him time to heal.

♧ You look up when you notice Jihyun, he’s crouching down in front of you, a hand on your shoulder with a concerned face. “Mc? What’s wrong? I didn’t know you were coming. Sorry for leaving you out here in the cold. Since when were you here?” You are in a hurry to wipe your tears as you refuse to look at his eyes your gaze somehow ends up on the box of Rika’s belongings. 

♧ He glances down at the box before looking back up at you with a smile. He places the box down as he places his hands on your cheeks, “I’m sorry I never made it clear to you. I don’t love her. In fact I never did and I only realize it now with your help.” You place your hands on top of his as you feel how cold they are. “I didn’t mean to stare...sorry.”

♧ He shakes his head, “Please. Don’t apologize.” He soon then looks down at his wrist watch, “Ah...my cab will be coming soon. It would break my heart to leave you here in tears...” Before he says more, you cut him off. “It’s fine, I only came to give you this.” You hand him a small brooch shaped as a sun. You smile, “To remind you, that you're like the sun.”

♧ He stares at you baffled for a minute, before he returns a sweet smile, “Thank you. Ah, that reminds me...I also have something to give you.” He rummages through his pocket to take out a small compass. “Please see it when I leave. Oh, sorry. Of course you could see it right now...but that would rather be...embarrassing. So please, I would appreciate it for you to read it when I’m gone.” You nod and he smiles to pick up Rika’s belongings. “I’m going to leave this at where it should go. It would do no good for me to keep it.” You don’t quite know where he’s exactly bringing the box. But regardless, you nod as he walks you back home. He promises you that he will often call and text you as before he leaves for his cab.

♧ When you’re back on your bed after a warm bath, you fiddle with V’s gift before opening it. It’s a vintage compass with a small sun in the East heading West. You find a note with it and it says, “The sun always sets in the West. In the West, you’ve always waited for me. You were always the one for me.”

HBADBJADGADBJAB KILL ME V’s is so cringe...T.T Please listen to his song “The Compass” if you want to understand it better because I suck at explaining...heh...

MOONLIGHT - S. CHOI

theme/s: bestfriend, confession, makeout, only mild nsfw

this is my second present for my friend because sae is her baby haha. anyway, feel free to listen to the song whilst reading!

You knew you couldn’t be selfish to call him yours.

He’s different; his job, his life, heck even his identity. As much as he kept secrets from you, you knew there was more to him than just that bubbly, slightly cringey, cute guy you met in the net.

You were bored by time when you matched with him in some random dating app, not really knowing you’d enjoy his crazy jokes and eventually, his company. It took you awhile before he actually went by your place and vice versa. However, he preferred the latter since he said he has a lot of work and he’d bring at least his laptop when he comes by your place or he’d have to go home early to finish his work. He’s a very busy man, you realized. That’s also why you two never progressed into something other than that line between friendship and being an official couple.

It was not what you two intended anyway at first. There were some casual flirting—wait, scratch that. There were a lot of flirting especially in texts or calls. However, he tends to shy up and just friend-zone you whenever you see each other in real life. You figured it was just his personality and he was never really interested to get serious so you pushed aside those budding feelings, going to several blind dates setup by your other friends or hookups that only lasted for just one night or at most, a week.

No one was like Luciel—or if that’s really his name.

You figured out it was not his real name when you got to talk to one of his friends—Yoosung, who went by his place one time to pickup some Honey Buddha Chips when he saw you, surprising the hell out of the boy. You could remember how freaked out he was that “Seven”—another name of his—was not telling anyone he has someone who he hangs out every now and then. You two exchanged numbers at that time and became friends. You tried to flirt with him, but you just couldn’t do it.

He’s just not Luciel.

Until one day, you realized you’d been trying to find him in every person you meet, setting up the standards to match the kind of person he is. Ah, shit. You totally fell deep into this one, you cursed to yourself.

“Hey, hey, are you still watching?” a voice pulls you from your train of thoughts, the owner of the said voice being the center of said thoughts. You sigh as you turn to Luciel, gazing at his golden eyes, laced with dark bags underneath, his glasses sitting comfortably under his sharp nose. He seems tired but he still made time for you to hangout today. Why does he have to be so kind? Why is he making it hard for you not to fall deeper into that unfair thing called love—or whatever it is?

“What? What’s wrong?” he asks, his smile falling as he looks at you worriedly. “Do you not like the movie?”

You avert away, avoiding his eyes, afraid he’d see through the hundred bricked walls you’ve built up against him, just like the security gate that he has before you could get in his home.

“It’s not that-“ your voice comes out rushed. “-maybe I’m just tired.” you were—it’s not a lie. You’re tired of hiding these feelings and not acting upon it. How could you? You’re too afraid to break whatever friendship you had with him—the only relationship that mattered to you right now.

“Oh.” he lets out. “Do you want to-uhm-stop watching? Do you want to sleep? You can sleep for awhile, I think. If only you want to though! I’m not forcing you or anything.” he blabbered, clearly embarrassed.

Don’t do that, Luciel, you say to your mind. Don’t make me hope.

“No, it’s alright. Let’s watch.” you say, dropping your hands to fish some Honey Buddha Chips that were settled onto a big bowl in between the two of you. However, before you could even do so, a familiar warmth envelops your hand and your head whips to Luciel, surprised.

He has a blush on his cheeks, almost resembling the color of his hair. “Y/n-I could tell something’s bothering you. What is it? You should not feel this way, it’s your birthday.”

Ah, that’s right. The reason he probably invited you was because he felt bad he couldn’t even go to your birthday gathering, where you gathered several of your friends to a club last night. Your head still spins from all the stuff that went on; all the drinking, kissing, dancing. Have you hooked up with someone else? You can’t even remember. Maybe you did. All you knew was that you hated Luciel’s work—for taking him from you, even if he wasn’t yours anyway.

“It’s nothing.” you brush his question away, but not his hand. His hand felt too warm and amazing against yours. You’re too selfish to push it away.

The look on his eyes made you want to say what’s been bothering you. But it’s not that simple. You can’t really tell him you’ve been in love with him after almost two years of friendship; that you can’t get him off your head even if you’re fucking another person or in another blind date, finding his warmth and touches in other people. Did you though? Nope. Not a single one.

His thumb brushes softly against your hand, butterflies spreading from your stomach, traveling to your heart. He’s not one to initiate skinship and it made you wonder why he’s doing this now. You wanted to question him, you really do. But how could you? You’re afraid he’d stop it altogether.

“It’s not nothing.” he objects, his voice soft. “Today’s your special day. Uh-Do you want to do something else? Do you want to play games? Do you-“

“You can’t-“ you cut him off from his rambling, pulling your gaze away from his eyes to divert your attention back at the television screen. “You can’t give me what I want.”

You tried focusing, despite the distraction that his hand provided. However, your efforts were futile. You can’t even get the gist of the movie by now. Is this an action movie? Or comedy? You’ve got not a single idea.

You felt him remove the bowl in between the two of you without letting go of your hand and move closer, until he was inches away, his whole body facing yours. “Come on, tell it to me! I’m sure I can probably hack my way into it.” he laughs, trying to lift up the mood, probably.

“You can’t, Luciel.” you used his name—fake name, your tone indicating that the conversation was over and you didn’t want to talk about it. You could tell he wanted to push it but he kept his mouth shut. It ached you to act like this to him. But what could you do? One look from him will make you get on your knees if he wanted. One touch and you’d be crumbling down your walls to let him in. Maybe-

Maybe you should stop hiding?

I mean, there’s nothing left to recover, right? If this keeps on going, it would just be the same as being heartbroken from the unrequited feelings. Were you willing to risk Luciel and your friendship?

You were not the one who decided that, however, for a hand grasps gently on your chin, making you face him once again. You noticed how he had leaned closer to you, taking your breath away at the current proximity between the two of you.

“Hey...” you snap, a bit harsher than you intended. “What are you doing?”

He was blushing, but he did not back down. This is not just part of those flirting you’ve done before—it’s different from all of those you’ve done before.

“I...” he trails off, almost like he wanted to say something. But then he lets out a sigh, bumping his forehead into yours while closing his eyes.

You could smell him—it was not the scent from the Honey Buddha Chips he’d probably eaten all day, but rather it was a the sweetness and freshness of his perfume, most likely sprayed earlier on before you came. Bergamot with hints of lemon? You don’t really know much about luxurious perfumes but you could tell that he’d spent a generous money on this one.

You couldn’t hold back. It was your fault for cutting that thin thread of separation between friends and something more. You were the one who held on his jacket, pulling him closer to you and inhaling on his scent.

His eyes shot open, now looking at you with a surprised look. You could feel your heart pound when you met his golden irises, observing his reaction.

You dreaded as the seconds pass by, silence hanging between the two of you despite the distant noise from the built-in speakers that was installed in his living room. Yet, the only thing you could focus on were his eyes, his scent, his warmth, his soft breaths—in short, him.

Until he finally closes his eyes and relents all the restraints that bounded him from doing something more, leaning forward to brush his lips slightly onto yours, testing the waters.

Your heart jumps but you didn’t move away. Instead, you decided to let it all go and met his lips again, this time giving in to your inner desires for once and for all. You knew you should’ve stopped, should’ve pushed him away. But what can you do when you’ve just ached for him that much?

The kisses were light as a feather, and his lips were inexperienced. Yet, it didn’t fail to make your heart flutter like a high-school girl kissing her crush. The hands that gripped on his jacket pulled him closer, deepening the kiss as a result.

You pull away to kiss the side of his lips, a hand raising to cup his jaw, relishing on the way he responds. You did sense uncertainty in his aura however, and it made you stop your actions.

“Is this... okay?” you ask, voice hushed in a whisper, like you’re afraid anybody else will hear despite knowing no on else was there aside from you and him.

He peaks a look at you and nods, a simple action yet it weighed much more than anything else you’ve done your whole life. You caress his cheek, as gentle as a dove flopping its wings as it glides into the air. You adored the way he leans into your touch, resembling a scene of yourself petting a cat.

“There will be no going back.” you spilled the words out of your mouth, as if telling it to yourself at the same time. This time, he looks you straight in the eye behind his Gucci glasses, his messy vermillion locks adoring his head, accentuating more of his sharp but adorable face.

“I know. I just-“ he pauses, his brows furrowing. “I can’t hide it anymore. Whenever I see you sad, it hurts me how I can’t comfort you the way I want to.”

You held the sides of his face and gave him all of your attention, letting him speak further. His expressions told you a lot of his emotions, mirroring the inside with the outside with how exposed he was.

“I want to hug you whenever you’re stressed, I want to kiss all of your tears away. You don’t know how much I want to take your mind away from all the things that brings a frown to your face.” he rattles on, pouring out all of his emotions to you. You’ve never seen him look so broken and desperate, and you just want to hug the daylights out of him.

But you did more than that, pressing your lips to his once again, lasting for a couple of seconds before you lean back and gaze at him lovingly. “You can, you know. You just have to let me in.”

He didn’t respond verbally after that. Instead, he kissed you again, filled with emotions of the moon that chose to show itself in the darkness of the night.

Moments passed by in a blur; his touches making you feel light-headed and his kisses being the only thing that’s keeping you from pushing on. It was finally happening—he’s finally the one in front of you, taking you to bed, not just some random stranger you’ve picked up from the bar or someone who you’ve just had your first date with.

“Luciel, I-“

“I’m not Luciel.”

Your head snapped to look him in the eyes. “What?”

“Don’t call me Luciel.” he says, glancing up at you from his position below you as you straddled his lap, his hands wrapped around you protectively.

“I want you to call me by my real name, Saeyoung.” his golden irises held the sincerity and trust that he felt towards you and you can’t help but gaze adoringly at him, raising your hands to cup his cheeks before grasping upon the temples of his glasses and gently remove it out of his face. You had to stretch a bit to place it on the bedside table but once you came back in front of him, he pulls you once again into a heated make-up session, spreading more butterflies flutter in your stomach.

Both your tops were discarded in a matter of seconds, heat rushing through your blood the more exposed you two were becoming.

He pecks your cheeks and his lips travel down your neck, and then down to the valley of your breasts.

Tracing down on his arms, you grabbed into his hands kissed his fingertips, taking his breath away in the process. You could see the way he looks at you and you then wondered why you even were worried before.

However, a sound of ringing echoed throughout the walls of the house and you recognized it as your own phone. You fish your hand on one of your jeans’ pockets, feeling Saeyoung resume his soft kisses on your neck, pulling you close.

“Who’s that?” he questions, his voice muffled by your skin as he peaks at the screen.

“I don’t know, honestly.” you respond and you were about to ignore the call and turn off the phone when he speaks again.

“Answer it.”

“What? Why?”

He looks at you intensely. “Answer it, babe.”

It might have been the way his tone accentuated with the pet name that slipped out of his mouth or the way he continued giving you open-mouthed kisses on your neck and chest, but you obliged. You felt giddy, and nervous by the time you held the gadget on one ear, making sure you won’t make a single noise that would hint that you were being intimate at the moment.

“Hello?”

A voice greets on the other line and you immediately recognize it. From what you could recall, it was someone you met at the bar last night.

“Hey, I thought you’re free tonight?”

You avert your eyes to Saeyoung, who was busying himself with marking your skin or running his lips and tongue on it. Yet, you were quite certain he could hear the conversation very well with the way he ducks his head and refuses to meet your gaze.

“Oh-uhm, sorry, who are you again?” your voice came out breathily more than you intended.

“You forgot? You slept with me last night.”

Both you and Saeyoung froze, thickness suddenly looming in the air around you. It took awhile but he reaches out to grab your phone from your ear and put it away before tackling you to bed, pulling you underneath him as he hovered on top of you.

“Sae-”

“Do you really want to do this with me?” he whispers and that’s when you noticed the hurt in his golden orbs, gleaming beneath the beauty of its color. You thought he was going to be angry at you, but his reaction pained you more.

You nod at him while softly saying, “I’ve never wanted anyone else other than you.”

Your affirmation was all he needed to hold you tight all night and never let you go from now on.

feel free to send requests~ as for birthday dedications, i’ll post the guidelines probably tomorrow or the day after so please do check it out!

[jihyuncompass]

Hello... May I do a platonic request of the RFA+V+Saeran with a teen!Mc on their routes?

This ended up being quite a bit longer than I had planned originally but hey more to enjoy right? 

Zen

Zen would of course obviously be concerned. 

He’s a sweet guy! He’s a protective guy! 

He was a teen runaway, he knows what the streets are like. They’re no place for someone young and on their own. 

So as soon as he learns your age, Zen’s protective nature kicks in. 

Congratulations! Zen is your older brother now. No one is ever going to hurt you again. Also no you don’t really have a say in the matter.

When the whole Echo Girl scandal hits, he’s very careful around you. He cares about you, and the last thing he wants is for you to be dragged into this mess with him. The worst thing he imagines is the press finding out about you. Possibly accusing him of harming you or taking advantage of you in some way. 

He would never hurt you, and he doesn’t want anyone getting any ideas. To him, you’re his younger sibling and he’ll do everything to protect you.

And unfortunately, for a little while that means keeping you at a small bit of a distance. Although considering its Zen. It’s not too much of a distance.  

Soon things with Echo Girl start to calm down, but then. There’s the bomb, and Unknown. 

The moment he comes into that apartment, sees you, a child. And Unknown trying to take you away. Zen knows that he has to get you to safety. He doesn’t even think when he grabs you and starts running, all he knows is you’re safe with him, and he won’t let this guy take you away and hurt you. 

That protective older brother nature only becomes more intense once you’re at his apartment. He’s checking up on you constantly. Are you hurt? Are you scared? But he’ll also reassure you, you’re safe with him. That guy isn’t coming back. It’s okay. 

He takes you back to his apartment. Where he can properly watch over you. Make sure that the hacker can’t get to you again. Can’t try and take you away to god only knows where. 

After his route ends he still cares for you. Through this experience it’s only cemented that you’re family to him. And unlike his own family, he’s gonna stick with you and support you no matter what. 

Yoosung 

When you meet Yoosung he’s still in the midst of his grief over Rika. 

Her death left a huge impact on him. After all he did look up to her so much. She was his role model, his hero. And well now she was gone. 

Your arrival however marks a turning point in his life. Not only are you the newest member of the RFA but you’re also just a kid too. 

He’s actually pretty excited that you’re younger than him. It’s nice not being the youngest member of RFA anymore. 

It doesn’t take a super long time for Yoosung to take you under his wing. He remembers what it was like being a teenager, it’s not like it was all that long ago. 

Also he just thinks you’re really cool! You try and stop Seven from pranking him too much and you like to talk to him about video games! What could be better?

In a way, he starts treating you the same way Rika treated him when he was younger. As a role model, as someone to look up to. Instead of seeing Rika in you, he starts to see Rika in himself. He did always want to be like her anyways. Have that sort of influence on people. Just like she did on him. 

You start to notice his habits changing. He starts gaming less and studying more. If he wants to be a good role model then he has to act the part right? 

Like with Zen. When he learns about the bomb in the apartment he’s instantly concerned and angry. The anger he felt towards V during his route was intense, but this is much much worse. Because not only is there a bomb in the apartment, there’s a kid, in the apartment with the bomb. 

This gives him all the more reason to go to Mint Eye and face the hacker. As long as the hacker is active, you’re not safe. And to him, your safety is the most important thing. 

He’s hesitant to let you see his eye injured. He doesn’t want to scare you. Or worry you. He needs to seem like a good role model. 

But you don’t care about that stuff, you just want him to be okay. That is all that matters to you. 

After his route ends he of course stays close with you. How could he not after everything that happened? Yoosung will always be a good friend to you. Especially once he graduates University, he truly becomes someone you want to admire. 

Jaehee

Jaehee is absolutely concerned when he learns of your age. 

She’s friendly towards you, of course he is. She’ll probably be less suspicious of you than she normally would be. However in exchange she’s also very hesitant around you. 

However with time she’ll warm up to you a lot. In a lot of ways she’s like your cool put-together older sister you can talk to.

There’s a lot of bonding over Zen’s musicals. She’s more than happy to educate you on everything there is to do with Zen’s career. You’re like her little fandom protegee. 

During her route she may see a lot of her younger self in you. She’s forced to think a lot on her own past and how she ended up where she is now. 

Looking at you she imagines her past going differently, her life turning out a different way. What else could she have been doing now? If life had been a little different. 

Jaehee’s the kind of person who will happily hear you talk about what you’re passionate about. She had to give up a lot of her own dreams in order to be successful, but she wants you to be able to follow your own passions. 

Knowing you, and thinking about herself as a teenager really helps embolden her. She realizes that she should be trying to follow her passions. Not just survive. 

At the RFA party she thanks you sincerely for everything you’ve done for her. For inspiring her, for helping her gain courage. 

He also promises to help you achieve your own dreams. Being the person she needed when she was young. 

She’ll still open her cafe, however she’ll promise that once you’re old enough, and ready you’ll always be welcome to work and help her run things. 

Jahee’s never had a sibling, and it’s been years since she’s had a significant familial relationship with anyone. But together, you’re like a little family. Someone who helped her find a new path in life. And for that she is eternally grateful. 

Jumin

Jumin is very taken aback when he learns of your age. 

Jumin is tricky because I don’t think he’d talk down to you because of your age, but he definitely isn’t going to pretend that you’re an adult. 

Regardless of age, the way into Jumin’s heart is through his cat. If you show genuine heartfelt interest in Elizabeth the 3rd. He’s going to like you. 

Another way is through cracking jokes with him. Jumin is so funny, but his humor tends to go over most people’s heads. Laugh at his jokes, and it doesn’t matter your age Jumin’s going to appreciate talking to you. 

At first, you’re probably going to be a little intimidated by Jumin. Not only is he an adult but he’s also Jumin Han he’s smart, he’s powerful, he’s rich. 

However after a while you start to feel comfortable with him. He doesn’t seem to scary or powerful as he did at first. (Although every once in a while he might say something that reminds you he is the Jumin Han).

It doesn’t take very long for Jumin to grow a sort of attachment to you. You always seem to know what to say to him. Which is something the RFA notices very quickly about the two of you. 

So when things in Jumin’s life get complicated Having you be the one to go see him almost feel obvious. 

That feeling of being intimidated definitely returns when you go to the Penthouse. It’s so large and fancy, and extremely overwhelming the first time. 

Once you see him though, and start talking with him it becomes easier. It gets more natural, like it is in the chatroom. 

When Elizabeth runs away he becomes incredibly protective over you. You’re a child after all, and what if you get hurt? What if someone tries and hurts you? He couldn't bear the thought of something bad happening to you. 

Similarly to how his route goes normally. You have to convince him that you can take care of yourself, and keeping the things he loves all locked up isn’t going to help anything.

You have to encourage him to not view you just as a child. But someone who is capable and can take care of them self. It might take a while, but eventually Jumin will come to understand. 

Obviously he’s not going to propose to you at the party. But he makes it clear that he considers you apart of his family, and if you would let him. He wants to be part of yours too, and having any bond with Jumin Han means that he’ll always be there for you, looking out for you always. 

Seven/Saeyoung

He’s aware of your age right from the very start. Once he does his background check he knows EXACTLY how old you are. 

To him this is just another reason you shouldn’t get to involved with him. You’re a kid and he’s a messy with a lot of messy stuff in his life. And the last thing he wants is you getting caught up in his messy life. 

Still he likes joking around with you. He doesn’t prank you the way he does Yoosung but he loves cracking jokes with you. It’s the kind of humor and validation that he adores. 

During his route, it’s complicated trying to get through to him. 

Seven is dealing with many of the same worries that he does normally. But now there’s this added layer that you’re a kid. You’re a kid trying to make friends with someone very dangerous. While also living in an apartment with a bomb. 

It’s... a lot for him to say the least. And as a result it weighs on him heavily. He can’t help but care about you, you’re just a kid who’s been forced into this whole mess. 

While he’d never say it out loud to himself he thinks a lot about his brother. 

This of course increases tenfold when Seven sees his brother at the apartment. Seeing his brother just proves in his mind that he failed him somehow. That something is very very wrong, and that you shouldn’t be near him. 

Like in his route, you have to be patient with him. Empathize with him while also being firm. While I do think he’s less likely to last out as aggressively towards you because of your age. He’s still closed off from you and keeps pushing you away from him. 

However, with time his head will start to clear a bit. He’ll realize that pushing you away isn’t going to do any good, you’ve already proved that you aren’t going to just leave him alone. 

But also, when he sees you he thinks so much about his brother. The young bright eyes he had when looking up at the sky. He couldn’t protect Saeran, but in his mind he thinks maybe he can protect you. 

After his route the two of you obviously stay close. Even past the secret ends. Saeyoung’s life was mostly defined by the family he chose to have. His brother, the RFA, you. And after he has his brother back and you in his life. He feels like his family is complete. 

V/Jihyun

V feels so guilty. 

You’re a kid. A child. And you’ve been forced into this horrible situation. 

He’s so determined to get you out. To get you as far away from Mint Eye, from Rika as possible. 

If you thought V was self sacrificing in his normal route it’s even worse here. He’s so scared of you getting hurt, of Rika hurting you or even getting near you. 

He does what he can to protect you from Rika and Saeran. Trying to keep you as safe and innocent as he can. He worries about Rika corrupting you, forcing you to believe in her twisted philosophy and methods. Just like what happened with Saeran. 

After you manage to escape Mint Eye with Seven’s help you’re helping V in every way you can. 

He feels even more guilty, he hates that you need to help him. That you need to be the one protecting him right now. 

Getting over the elixir is difficult for him. It’s physically painful and emotionally torturous. However, he’s so very very grateful that you’re there for him through it all. Somehow managing to care for him through it all. 

He deeply values your perspective. You see the world so differently than he does. Maybe because of your age or your experiences. You have this resilience that he admires so much. So when you tell him that he could start over his life. Become a new person. It’s somehow easier for him to believe. 

Despite his rough condition, V truly grows a sort of connection with you during this time. You’re genuinely kind to him. Even though he knows that he doesn’t deserve the kindness you’re showing him. 

At the end of his route he still leaves for two years. He cares about you, he wants to hold onto the bond that you’ve grown together. But he’s also far from the man he wants to be. He wants to be able to protect you, and have a bond with you that is healthy. Balanced. 

You keep in contact with him through letters. He loves sending you photos or little souvenirs from where he’s been. It’s a reminder that he’s still thinking of you, And you’re someone still precious to him. 

When he returns two yeas later. It’s the happiest you think you’ve ever been. You’re two years older now, more grown up but your bond with V hasn’t gone away. 

You’re his friend. Someone who he cares about. To you, he’s a role model, and he’s a good friend. Someone you are very grateful to have in your life. 

Saeran

Oh boy. Okay

Like his brother, Ray knew your age, and unfortunately. It’s one of the reasons he chooses you. 

You’re young, naive. He doesn’t think you’re going to be able to see through what Mint Eye is really doing. And he’s older than you, so you’ll definitely listen to him then. 

He knows he likes being around you right after he meets you in person. 

You’re so nice. You treat him with such kindness all the time. Even when he knows he’s lying to you about the nature of what you’re doing. 

Even after you discover the truth about the “game” you still seem to trust him. Something he’s grateful for, even if he doesn’t quite understand it. 

This is also when the doubts start to set in for him. He’s been told that people will want to hurt and manipulate him. But you don’t seem to want to do that at all? And even without the Elixir you’re a good person.A happy person. 

He also thinks about the physical effects of the elixir. The body pains, the headaches. He doesn’t want you to go through that. You’re so young, and even if you maybe stronger than he is who knows what it would do to you.

So, he can’t let that happen. 

Now, let’s talk about Suit Saeran for a minute because he’s.... complicated. 

He’s scary. He wants to scare you. He wants to prove to you and to himself that you’re weak that he’s stronger than you are. 

On the other hand, he won’t be too violent. Deep down he knows that you’re a kid. And no matter how angry he is he’s refuses to hurt you the same way he had been hurt as a child and as an adult. 

It’s your kindness that helps bring him back to himself again. Helping to reunite the fragmented parts of his mind. These pieces all with the same goal. To leave Mint Eye and to take you with him. 

Saeran has never been able to have a happy family. And while things are complicated. You’re his family now, and he’s going to be the best big brother he can be for you. 

After his route, Saeran has a lot of healing to do. He has so many years of hurt to process and to learn to cope with. You yourself have to deal with everything that happened over the course of your time at Mint Eye. 

No matter what though. the one thing that the two of you are certain of, is that you’ll always be there for each other. You’re in this together.

Hello!! I like your hc so much! So i was wondering can i request the rfa+v, and saeran with an mc who is really insecure with her body so she starve herself on accident? If you’re not comfortable than you don’t have to!! Thank you tho :)

Hey there! Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoy them😊I hope it’s okay but I mainly left out the eating part/made it brief. I’m really sorry, it���s just a bit of a delicate topic for me to write about but I really hope it’s still okay for you.

Just a reminder that it’s okay to feel insecure, but remember that you are not defined by your insecurities. I also don’t believe that there is one definition of beautiful, nor do I believe that thinking you are beautiful is vain or arrogant. Please be kind to yourselves, and if you are going through a rough patch with your body image or self-love, then I sincerely hope this can be a comfort for you and, if you can, I encourage you to reach out to someone or talk to a professional. My DMs are always open, if you ever need a chat or to rant then I’m here to listen. You are welcome and loved here💛

RFA with an insecure MC

Zen:

❤︎ now, if you’ve done his route, then you know that this man understands

❤︎ and we also know that his looks are very important to him, so he completely acknowledges your feelings and in no way invalidates them

❤︎ but that being said, this man worships your body

❤︎ if you guys weren’t together he would be the best wing man because he LOVES to praise you and lift you up, even if you aren’t feeling particularly insecure

❤︎ you got a new outfit? “YES GIRL YOU WORK IT” you do your makeup different? “YOU ARE SO TALENTED AND ARTISTIC YES” you’re in your sweats and your hair’s a mess you feel totally gross? “THAT’S MY GIRL RIGHT THERE WOW YOU ARE GLORIOUS”

❤︎ he’s very vocal about his love for you and his love for your body

❤︎ sometimes it can be a bit embarrassing and usually comments on your appearance can make you feel uncomfortable/self-conscious, but for some reason when he does it it gives you a lil confidence boost <3

❤︎ we’re no stranger to the fact that he is hot as fuck

❤︎ honestly makes a little mad like who gave you the audacity to look like that hMMM?

❤︎ so when you first started going out, your confidence plummeted

❤︎ and it didn’t help that, whilst the majority of his fans loved you and loved the relationship, there were a few that really got to you

❤︎ they would post some not very nice comments about you on the forum

❤︎ they were just jealous fanatics, but you didn’t know that and took what they said to heart

❤︎ you started working out a lot after that, probably a bit too much

❤︎ Zen picked up on this, and he was all for exercising with you but bbygirl you’re over doing it and you really don’t seem to be enjoying it

❤︎ so he decides to teach you how to dance!!!!

❤︎ that way, you still get the endorphins from exercise, but you also learn a great skill which gives you loads of confidence because guess what!!! you’re a natural and you look gorgeous when you dance!!!!

❤︎ teaches you that working out doesn’t necessarily need to be done for aesthetic purposes, and you can have loads of fun with your boo whilst you do it!

Yoosung:

★ bit like Zen, he kinda understands how you feel

★ he often expressed it in the chatroom that he was jealous of Zen’s looks, so I think this boy is also a little insecure

★ poor lil chicken nugget you’re beautiful too

★ but when you chose him over Zen?? oh boy the confidence boost

★ it was then that he got to appreciate that his looks didn’t mean everything, and he was grateful that he got to learn that from you

★ so when he found out you were insecure, it made him sad because??? you’re literally perfect????

★ he noticed that you were always second guessing yourself

★ you would always try on and so many outfits/do your hair over and over until giving up and throwing on whatever, but you always looked so defeated

★ he made a note from then on to always show you off to his friends like yeah bitch this is my hot ass girlfriend who also happens to be the most amazing person on earth what about it?

★ his social media is flooded with candid photos of you and the captions were always about how beautiful you were and how lucky he was to have you

★ however, he was still a little suspicious about your insecurities

★ when you were together and he asked if you want to grab something to eat, you had always “already eaten”, which started to seem unlikely especially in some situations

★ so whenever you came over, he would cook you SUPER delicious food

★ this boy is a cooking GOD

★ he also tried to make sure they were fairly healthy and balanced meals so you wouldn’t feel guilty about eating

★ little by little, your relationship with food became healthier once you discovered how good it could be when you cook properly

★ but also insecurities and bad eating habits don’t go away over night

★ so he always leaves post-it notes around reminding you to eat and take care of yourself, and also one’s that tell you how much he cares and loves everything about you

★ he’s so damn cute somebody hold me

Jaehee:

☞ GIRL SAME

☞ i know i’m repeating myself but this lady gets you

☞ we know that when she started working for Jumin, he made her cut her hair and wear fake glasses, and even though she looked HOT AS HELL (yes baehee work it) she just felt wrong and uncomfortable about her appearance

☞ so she could pick up on the fact that you were insecure from the get go

☞ she noticed how you would shy away from pictures, and you always wore clothes that would hide your body

☞ well that just won’t do

☞ something must be done

☞ you wILL FEEL THE LOVE MC YOU WILL

☞ organises a shopping trip for you to try on some hella cool outfits

☞ invites Zen along because, as stated above, he is very vocal with his praise and is just really good at hyping you up

☞ pretty sure everyone in the shop hates you because Jaehee and Zen do not hold back whenever you come out of the changing room lmao

☞ you may have been kicked out of one shop but let’s not worry about that

☞ you came home with some pretty fire outfits that were really flattering on you and just made you feel great ya know?

☞ Jaehee is usually pretty shy when asking you personal questions

☞ but she wants to help you, so one night over dinner she manages to get you to open up to her

☞ and man Jaehee is a good listener

☞ as a woman, i feel like she is able to understand where you’re coming from more than any of the others, so you’re in good hands :)

Jumin:

♚ this man…

♚ he just doesn’t get it i’m so sorry

♚ it’s not that he doesn’t care about your insecurities or thinks you are ridiculous for feeling that way, not at all actually

♚ looks were just never something he really thought about it in general

♚ he knew he was ‘good-looking’ and he knew what was considered ‘good-looking’, he just never cared about it much

♚ at first he was just like??? but you’re literally MC??? what is there to be insecure about???

♚ you had done pretty well at hiding your insecurities at the beginning of your relationship

♚ which was helped by the fact that Jumin would never assume that you had anything to dislike about yourself, so he never looked out for/noticed the signs

♚ it took a whole year guys damn

♚ it had been a year since you got together, so he wanted to take you out for a lovely meal

♚ but he also bought you a beautiful dress

♚ haha…

♚ this was where it went tits up lmao

♚ you were so grateful for it, it was a really stunning dress and you were actually pretty excited to try it on

♚ and so was he hehehe

♚ but when you came out of the bathroom and looked at yourself in the mirror, he noticed that your eyes were welling up and boi your face did not look happy

♚ Jumin’s like: ??????

♚ Jumin.exe has stopped working

♚ instantly takes you in his arms, shushing and cooing you as he rubbed your back

♚ “My love, what is it?”

♚ after a few sniffles, you knew you just had be honest with him

♚ “I’m sorry, Jumin. It’s the most beautiful dress I’ve ever seen but I just ruin it…it belongs on someone else, not on me.”

♚ holds you so much tighter and even starts to feel tears prick his own eyes

♚ he takes a different approach to compliments

♚ he finds a way to compliment your appearance without sounding superficial or fake

♚ instead of “you’re beautiful”, he goes for “your smile lights up the room” or “you carry so much warmth and kindness in your eyes”

♚ it’s his way of letting you know that he thinks you’re the most gorgeous thing to walk the planet, but while also telling you that you are so much more than what you look like

Saeyoung:

☀︎ hoo hoo boiiiiii

☀︎ i’m just gonna cut to the chase

☀︎ he found out during some ~sexy times~

☀︎ i’m not going into graphic detail it’s not that kind of post ;)

☀︎ things were getting hella heated like damn

☀︎ so he started to ya know like…unbutton your shirt

☀︎ spot the virgin lmfao

☀︎ but then you stopped him and he’s like P A N I C

☀︎ terrified that he crossed a line bby chill for a sec

☀︎ but then you ask if you could turn off the light and he starts to suspect that you don’t want him to see your body

☀︎ he’s so gentle about the topic it’s very sweet

☀︎ he wants you to know that he loves every fibre of your being, but he also doesn’t want to push you if you’re uncomfortable

☀︎ “MC, I adore every part of you, including your body. If you want me to turn off the light I absolutely will, but if you let me, I want to show you just how much you mean to me.”

☀︎ you hesitated, but eventually agreed to leave the light on

☀︎ and JESUS CHRIST HE DID NOT DISAPPOINT

☀︎ Saeyoung has an incredible attention to detail, as well as patience

☀︎ and he took his sweet time with you lemme tell ya

☀︎ you’re pretty sure he kissed every inch on your body whilst also whispering his praise as he did so

☀︎ he honestly made you feel like a Goddess

☀︎ everything he said was sincere and he just treated you with so much care and love and that shit is contagious

☀︎ ever since then, he was more physically affectionate with you until eventually you didn’t even think twice when undressing in front of him

☀︎ hello yes i would like to order one Saeyoung pls thank you

☀︎ actual love of my life

V / Jihyun:

❁ he asked you to be his model for one of his paintings

❁ and you were like ummmm……okay maybe it won’t be too bad????

❁ but this man has no chill

❁ he wanted you to be semi-nude and you were like h e l l  n o

❁ he was also Confused™

❁ you tried to make up some excuse but it was hopeless

❁ so you just told him that being nude in front of him was already difficult for you, but for you body to be on display for others to see was just too much

❁ this sweet man

❁ his heart broke

❁ it hurt him so much to know that someone with such a kind soul ever doubted her worth, especially because of something like your looks

❁ you were absolutely stunning to him, but he wanted you to believe that yourself

❁ he made a deal with you that if you modelled for him and were still uncomfortable with the outcome, then it would only ever be seen by you two

❁ you reluctantly agreed, and he made it his mission to make you see yourself through his eyes

❁ it took him a while to complete, but when he did oh man

❁ you full on started sobbing

❁ OH SHIT HE MADE MC CRY PANIC PANIC

❁ someone help this man

❁ you managed to tell him that you weren’t crying because you were upset, but because you never thought that you would ever see yourself as beautiful

❁ but the way he painted you GOOD G R I E F

❁ he made you look ethereal, and you couldn’t believe that this was how he saw you

❁ you didn’t even focus on the parts of you that you would usually hate because he made them look so heavenly and like,,,they belonged there???

❁ “Jihyun, you made me look so lovely.”

❁ “No, my love, that’s just what I saw. Everything you see here is you, nothing else.”

❁ okay great he made you cry even more goOD jOb jIhYuN

Saeran:

☽ ha ha ha ha ha

☽ you thought Jumin was bad?? oh i am so sorry my guy

☽ he just has no clue

☽ “What do you mean? Why do you care about how you look? You’re not ugly or anything.”

☽ gee thank you Saeran

☽ but also you are not helping in the slightest

☽ he’s REALLY not good at expressing his affection okay pls give him a break

☽ but he’s not heartless come on now

☽ it took him a while to fully understand where you were coming from, and even then he struggled to find a way to help

☽ Saeran is a very quiet supporter

☽ it’s hard to spot to the naked eye, but you know when Saeran cares for you because you feel it

☽ the first thing he notices is your body language

☽ and since he doesn’t really know what to do, he kinda just...adjusts you

☽ for example, if he sees that your body language is very closed off, almost like your trying to hide your body, he’ll silently move your shoulders and fix your posture so you are more open

☽ and if he sees you bow your head or try to block your face, he’ll silently lift your chin up

☽ but the most important part is that when he does this, he always smiles at you

☽ now Saeran is very careful with expressing his emotions. so when he does show his feelings, you know he means it

☽ so you started to hold yourself with more certainty and confidence, because it made him smile to see you not hiding away

☽ ‘fake it til you make it’ is a very real thing, and eventually it became natural to embrace every part of you

☽ when he became more comfortable, he told you that he was proud of how far you’d come and how he loved to see you feel good in your own skin

.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・。.・。.・゜✭・.・✫・゜・

You give the café door a gentle push and it makes a pleasant jingling sound—but it does not budge.

That’s strange, you think. But everything is strange today: it’s strange that Jaehee asked you to come by in the middle of the day. It’s strange that the shop is locked. It’s strange that you haven’t heard a single word from any of them all day long—especially considering what day it is.

You give the door another curious shove. No: it’s definitely locked. You try and peek through the little window, but the glass is foggy and you can’t see much of anything at all. You’re starting to feel a little bit annoyed.

“Hello?” you call. Oh, and as soon as you speak there’s a sound from inside: a sort of shuffling—soft voices—chairs scraping against the floor. 

Oh, you think, your heart racing. Are they…?

The door opens.

You are expecting to see Jaehee, and so you’re surprised when Yoosung is the one at the door. He beams when he sees you and reaches eagerly for your hand.

“Hi,” he chirps. He leans toward you, head tilted, eyelashes fluttering: oh, this is his please kiss me face, you think. You bury a hand in his soft hair—a beautiful mess as always—and press your lips to his. He practically vibrates.

When you pull back, he looks dazed—and for a moment, he just gazes at you. He has stars in his eyes, you think. He squeezes your hand and you smile into his beautiful face.

There is is a sound somewhere behind him; the lights are dim and you can’t quite see. Yoosung startles out of his reverie—stepping aside, still holding your hand. “I forgot,” he murmurs, giggling. “There’s also…”

Oh.

You scan the room and, for a second, you forget to breathe. The tables have been rearranged, and the lights are low. Seated all around the room—at the tables, and on the tables, and behind the coffee bar—is everyone.

Your skin feels hot. You can’t remember the last time you saw them all together like this; you find yourself counting, looking from one to the next to the next—they really are all here.

“Yoosung, stop monopolizing him,” drawls a sweet voice from the corner. You turn, and Zen is loping toward you, tossing his hair over his shoulder with characteristic grace. Yoosung pouts, and Zen wraps his long arms around you. His sweet scent makes your head spin.

“You look good,” you tell him, because he does; you can feel his chest rumble as he laughs.

“I always look good,” he says, drawing back so he can see you. His intense gaze sweeps up and down your body, and you suddenly feel very exposed. “You look perfect today, darling,” he sings. You smile.

Zen is leaning closer to whisper something in your ear when the general chatter in the background gets louder. You hear the word hypocrite, and you can’t help but laugh. Your attention is in high demand today, it seems.

Jaehee comes around from behind the coffee bar and slips an arm around your waist, pulling you into the room.

“Has anyone,” she murmurs quietly, so only you can hear, “even said happy birthday yet, sweetheart?”

You laugh, pausing to wrap both arms around her waist. She’s still got her pristine little apron on, even though she’s clearly closed the cafe early—and she looks almost painfully adorable.

“There’s been kind of a lot going on in the last few minutes,” you tell her. She shakes her head and you tuck a stray lock of her hair behind her ear.

“But you’re the most important thing of all,” she insists. There’s a stubborn look in her eyes.

“You didn’t need to shut down the cafe for me, though!” you say. She smiles your favorite smile: it makes you think of the wind in your hair and the sound of ice cubes in a cool drink.

“I attempted to pay her for the lost time.” Ah, a deep voice behind you: you turn and Jumin is slowly unfurling himself from his chair, his dark eyes glittering. “But she would not allow it.”

Jaehee says something in response, but he isn’t listening. He’s holding out his arms for you with a sort of sparkling determination on his face.

You go to him and he envelops you. His lips brush your forehead; his breath is warm against your skin.

“I consider myself to be a very patient man,” he murmurs. “But my patience was running out.”

“You were very patient,” you tell him, and he squeezes you a little tighter. It’s easy to overwhelm him with praise, you’ve found—easier than you would’ve imagined. He’s spent his whole life being praised—but praise from you seems to mean something else entirely.

“You flatter me, my little prince,” he whispers. Your heart skips a beat.

“How do you do that?” you ask. He draws back, and there’s a puzzled expression in his eyes. He doesn’t know, you think—he has absolutely no idea how mesmerizing he is.

“Do what?” he acts. It’s a genuine question, which makes you laugh. 

“Tell you later,” you whisper into his ear. You’re pretty sure he shivers.

At Jumin’s side is Jihyun—sitting quietly, waiting for you with a placid smile. You turn to him and he takes both of your hands.

“Happy birthday, my beloved,” he says. And his voice is so soft—especially amidst the chatter that’s growing louder all around you. Jaehee is back at the coffee bar, checking something in the oven; there is loud laughter coming from a corner. You lean over Jihyun to hear him better and he runs his finger across your palm. It’s somehow not ticklish, when he does it. His touch is like warm spring rain on your skin.

“How,” you ask, bending to kiss his cheek (he flushes), “did you manage to all be in one place at one time?”

Jihyun tilts his head to the side, thoughtful.

“You,” he says at last. You’re finding it hard to catch your breath. It’s almost too much, all of this at once; your legs feel weak.

Jihyun is still seated, and over his head, you can see three figures in the very back corner. You smile, because of course that’s where they are.

“Go,” he murmurs, sensing where you’re looking. “Say hello to everyone. I’m not going anywhere.” You squeeze his hands and slip between the tables, making a beeline for the corner.

Saeran meets you halfway.

He’s standing almost as soon as he sees you looking—and he comes to you on quick, quiet feet, with flushed cheeks and a tender smile.

“Were you surprised?” he murmurs. You cup his cheek with one hand and he leans into it; he is, you think, practically purring.

“I don’t know what I was expecting,” you say. He hums, and you close the distance between you, pressing your body into his. He is gazing at you with immeasurable love in his eyes—he always looks like this, you think: like he wants to dissolve into you.

So you kiss him. You feel him melt; his arms wrap easily around you—and he is cloud-soft, star-bright.

He murmurs a word into your lips that tastes like love. You pull back and his clear eyes are sparkling.

“It’s all a lot, isn’t it?” he whispers. You see the way he’s looking at you: like he alone notices that your legs are weak. It is a lot. But his cool hands on your skin are soothing and his smile gives you strength.

“I’m good,” you tell him. You are.

Behind him—perched on the edge of a table, somehow looking perfectly at home and wildly out of place all at once—Vanderwood raises a hand in greeting.

“Come here,” they say.

Grinning, you throw yourself into their arms.

Automatically, their rough hands fall to your waist. They make a tiny sound—a low chuckle—and toss their head as if to say I was expecting that.

But you can feel the way their heart is racing, and that is a dead giveaway. They don’t know quite what to do with you, you think (and the thought makes you proud).

“Come here often?” you ask, and they roll their eyes, hands drifting to your hips.

“What do you think?”

“Hard to say.” You move closer; their grip on you tightens.

“Don’t get carried away,” they mutter.

You shrug. “You’re the biggest surprise of all,” you tell them—and they laugh, fingers hooked through your belt loops.

“I think I can handle one day with this group,” they say. You tangle a hand in their hair.

“You’ll do anything for me, won’t you?”

They raise their eyebrows.

“Don’t push it.”

You give them a fleeting kiss as you pull away—and you don’t miss the way their cheeks color.

Off to the side, curled into a chair with his arms and legs draped every which way, is Saeyoung. He raises his eyebrows, grinning mischievously.

“Saving the best for last?” he trills.

“Who said that?” You linger, hands on your hips, as if you don’t plan on going to him at all.

He growls—his hand shoots out—and in a heartbeat he’s pulled you to him. His face is just a hair’s breadth from yours and there’s a glittering look in his eyes (as if he’s saying you’re all mine, now).

You lift a hand, running your thumb over his bottom lip, and he grins.

“Everyone’s watching us,” he says.

“And?”

His eyes widen, and a devilish grin spreads across his face.

He kisses you deeply—and you’ve been kissed so much already today that your lips feel almost swollen, but you curl your hands into his hair and let him take your breath away. He pulls back—too quickly—and you whine.

“I wish you could see the look on your face right now,” he says. You look into his molten, dizzy eyes.

“Same goes for you.”

Saeyoung spins you around, wrapping an arm around your waist. From this vantage point, you can see the whole room and everyone in it: they’re chatting with one another, and laughing, and sampling coffees—but you know why they’re all here.

They’re here for you.

“You’ve got us,” Saeyoung whispers in your ear. “All of us.”

You don’t doubt it for a second. 

[yoosungkimsfeelingsarejustified]

Yoosung’s route is honestly so good. His development is actually really well-written and paced and it’s by far the most believable (except for the fact it happens within like a week but I mean, that’s just how the game works so), not to mention he’s the actual cutest? He’s so sweet and so like... emotionally sincere, like there’s really no bs with him. It’s not like there isn’t conflict in his route but Yoosung’s feelings for you are never in question he loves you SO much and he would do anything for you, and I also just love how much he loves love you know like he loves romance and yes he’s quite idealistic about it but he also just loves the simpler, more domestic stuff? Like it’s actually one of his dreams to be the kind of husband who helps out around the house and he wants to cook for you and fold laundry with you like!! that’s so cute oh my god he’s just so GOOD I adore him

[apenapaperandadoofus]

can i have some fluff about the RFA reacting to MC getting hurt and while on the strong hospital pain meds she gushes about how much she loves her S/O like a weepy speech about how wonderful they are.

Ohhhh sure! We love some fluff

RFA with an MC in the hospital (fluff):

Zen:

He was taking you for a ride on his bike

It happened so fast

And he didn’t get hurt

But you did

When Jumin heard the news he helped you by interning you in one of the best hospitals

Zen begrudgingly accepted

You had been severely hurt, so you had to go under some really heavy treatment, and once you were done you were given a lot of pain medication

He quickly went over to you and held you tight, tears forming in his eyes

“Zen....” you said.

He didn’t want you to speak, but you kept going anyway

“I love you. So much. You’re such a kind person. I’m so glad I met you, and I really, really love you. None of this was your fault. Please don’t blame yourself Zen, I will always be here for you I will never stop loving you, no matter what. ”

Zen cried and held you close, he felt awful about putting you in danger like this.

But you reassured him it was fine, that you loved him so much, and it took a bit for him to feel better

He was so ashamed...but you slowly helped him feel better.

Yoosung:

He was sitting in the waiting room, anxiously waiting for the doctor to tell him how your treatment went

He was super nervous, and you were the love of his life, he didn’t want anything to happen to you

So when the doctor told him that you were fine, just on very heavy pain killers he was relieved

He went in the room and he felt so happy when you gave him a huge smile

“Yoosung! Hey my sweet beautiful honey adorable cute handsome little big boy who isn’t actually a boy because you’re actually very cool Yoosung, and I loooove you, a lot. I think I love you more than food and that’s saying a lot sir.”

Yoosung laughed and walked over to you, then he held your hand

“I love you too Y/N. I was very worried you know? But now...now I feel much better.”

You giggled and hugged him, whispering again that he meant so much to you and that you would never give him up unless someone offered you nachos because you were actually craving some

And since Yoosung is a sweetheart he got you some lmao

Jaehee:

When she heard you were in the hospital she closed the shop early and rushed over to see you

You had been on an accident, but apparently you were fine now

You just had to rest for a bit!

When she asked about you the doctor warned her that you were on some heavy pain killers, so she wouldn’t be weirded out by anything you said

As soon as you saw her coming in you quickly sat up and raised both your arms in triumph

“BAEHEEEEEEEE, I LOVE YOU!”

Jaehee felt her face go red but she giggled and grabbed a chair, so she could be sitting in front of you

“I love you too Y/N. I was very preoccupied you know? I even closed the shop early....I’m glad you’re alright.”

You giggled and caressed her cheek

“Aw babe~ This is why I love you so goddamn much! You are so adorable, and kind! You care for so many people...I’m so happy I’m with you. Now I’m actually very sleepy so I’m going to go bye bye, but please don’t leave me until I wake up! Love youuuu.”

And with that you went to sleep

Jaehee smiled and watched you sleeping, admiring you and thinking that she was so lucky to have someone like you.

Jumin:

Jumin was crying.

The Jumin Han

Was crying

He was super worried!

But as soon as he saw you awake on the bed, watching some TV he felt a heavy weight release from his chest

You smiled at him and when he came closer you booped his nose

“Jumin~ I’m so happy you’re here! You know...I love you so much. A lot. And I’m so happy that I get to wake up with you every single day.”

You started tearing up and gave him a big smile.

“I mean you could choose anyone, but you choose me...and you’re so perfect, your so kind and you are always taking care of others. I love you Jumin, and I love that I am able to spend all my time with you.”

Jumin held you tight, telling you that he loved you so much too.

“Hey Jumin, when I feel better can we order McDonalds? I really want a Big Mac.”

He was super confused but he wasn’t going to question you, and everyday he spoiled you so much!

Saeyoung:

When he heard you got into an accident he got on his car, Vanderwood and Saeran asking him what the hell was happening

But when he came into the hospital and saw you laughing and joking around, he felt so relieved

He fell on his knees and wept for a bit

“Saeyoung? Why-why are you crying? I’m watching The Office you know? Come and watch it with me! I’m so sorry if I made you worried.”

He slowly stood up and gave you a rough kiss, tears steaming down his face

“Y/N...I’m so glad you’re ok...”

You smiled and held him tight

“Mmhmm Saeyoung...I love you so much! Like this much-”

You slowly spread both your arms and smiled

“I’m so happy I get to be with you. Saeyoung. You’re...wonderful. I don’t know what I would ever do without you. I love you. You’re such an intelligent and compassionate person. Also you’re super funny! I love you a lot.”

Saeyoung felt himself blush a bit. He smiled and kissed you once again, then the both of you even started joking around for a bit

You definitely made him feel even better

Your song

Heyho everybody!

Sooo, this is my first Mystic Messenger fanfic that I have written. I posted it some time ago on AO3 and now I wanted it to share it here as well :D

For me the pairing is MC x Choi twins. But there is nothing explict mentioned in this story. Just some cheek smooches because MC is soft for the twins, haha (who wouldn't be).

Sorry for rambling, please enjoy! (Feedback is appreciated, thanks byeeee) now i'll hide under my bed

Here is the song I used.

Your song

Read here in AO3

Pairing: MC x Choi twins (just cheek smooches, no twincest involved!)

It was the twin’s birthday. MC knew that Saeyoung was very fond of the day, now that he finally got to spend it again with his brother. Saeran felt a bit different, though. She knew, he had grown to like it, but he did not like the fuss, that was made over him. While living with the Choi brothers MC had gotten to know every single detail about them. She knew everything, from small to bigger habits. The girl was sure, that the two did not even know, that they had shown her so much about themselves. MC sighed thinking about how far her two precious tomato heads had come. Yes, Saeran had finally grown out his hair and Saeyoung still got emotional over it sometimes which earned him a huff from his brother.

The twins knew that MC had planned a big birthday party for them. She had informed them beforehand, because she did not want to overwhelm Saeran with a surprise party. He appreciated the thought and MC still believed that she had seen a glimpse of excitement shimmer in the shyer twin’s eyes. The day of the party had finally come, and MC woke up her two favourite boys with a delicious breakfast. They were both buzzing with excitement for the day ahead – even Saeran. Although he was not as vocal as Saeyoung about it, MC could still see it.

“I am terribly sorry, but I have to throw you out now”, MC said. The twins looked shocked. “B-b-but MC! It is our birthday! Why would you throw us out today!” Saeyoung cried out.

MC giggled: “Well, I have to set up the party decorations. I do not want you two to see them right away. A little surprise effect after all would not be too bad, wouldn’t it?” She squeezed Saeran’s hand, hoping her request was alright with him.

“Yes, you are right”, the younger twin agreed and nodded. MC smiled at him happily.

After the conversation, the boys got dressed and ready to head out for a bit. Saeyoung had declared that one of his babies was desperate for an outing. So, he grabbed the car keys with one and Saeran’s arm with the other hand and marched towards the garage.

“Have fun you two! See you in an hour. And don’t eat too much ice cream, I promise there will be enough here today”, the last sentence was directed to Saeran as MC knew, that Saeyoung would take him out to get a sweet treat for sure. MC gave both twins a peck on the cheek, making them blush and then waved them off. She watched the car pull out of the bunker’s garage. Once the gate was closed MC began working on the decorations. She surely was getting more nervous now, had she planned one more surprise for the twins, which they did not know about. Humming to herself the prepared everything and then got dressed herself. A quick look at the time told her that the guests would arrive soon. She really hoped that all the hard work would pay off.

The front gate announced someone, and MC quickly opened the door for all the others. All of Saeyoung’s and Saeran’s friends had come – the whole RFA. She led them to the living room where everything was set up.

“Are you nervous?” Jaehee asked.

“Yes, yes I am.” Zen stepped towards the girls of the RFA. “Oh MC, you really don’t have to be. We practised a lot, and you did great every time. I am sure they will love it!”

“Thank you, Zen. I really hope so.” MC smiled.

“Oh, I think they are coming!” Yoosung announced once they could hear the loud engine of one of Saeyoung’s sports cars.

“MC, I think we all agree, that they will really like your present”, Jumin spoke up. “Be yourself and have fun.” Everyone nodded in agreement.

“Wise words, trust fund kid”, Zen whispered.

Saeyoung and Saeran were speechless once they stepped in. The bunker was decorated with balloons, garlands and pictures from them and their friends that had been taken over the last year. MC had printed them all out. There were ones from just her and the twins at the bunker or group pictures of the whole RFA. One pictured that got cooed over the most was the one where the twins had fallen asleep on the couch together after playing LOLOL all night, much to Saeran’s dismay. MC was really proud of herself four capturing this moment.

After opening presents and eating cake, ice cream and even ice cream cake, MC stood up.

“Saeyoung, Saeran, I want to give you my present now.”

“But MC, you already prepared all of this for us!” Saeran blurred out. MC smiled softly. He had grown so much, no longer being afraid of speaking up. Although he surely must have been quite hyper after consuming so much sugar, helping his remaining shyness fade away quickly. Saeyoung just nodded wildly in agreement. He was too occupied looking at the visitor passed that Jumin had gifted the two to come and see Elisabeth the 3rd. Under his supervision of course.

MC made the twins sit on the couch, “Saeran, Jaehee will put blindfolds on you two now. It will only be for five minutes, I promise. Is that alright, love?” He nodded and MC gave him a bright smile. She just wanted to make sure that he felt safe. The younger twin still grabbed his brother’s hand, once they were blindfolded. They both wondered what was going on. Suddenly the blindfolds were taken off again. The lights in the bunker were all turned off, but the twins knew, that the other RFA members were sitting beside them.

Suddenly the heard a piano playing and one of the light spots that Saeyoung had installed in the living room turned on. It only lit one area in the room. There, MC was stand with a guitar and behind her Zen was sitting with a keyboard.

MC started to sing. The twin’s eyes grew wide as they heard her voice.

It's a little bit funny

This feeling inside

I'm not one of those who can easily hide

I don't have much money, but boy if I did

I'd buy a big house where we all could live

If I was a sculptor, ha

But then again, no

Or a man who makes potions in a traveling show

I know it's not much, but it's the best I can do

My gift is my song, and this one's for you

MC finally opened her eyes while Zen kept playing on the keyboard. She had been too afraid to look at the brothers at first, but now she wanted to see their reaction.

And you can tell everybody

This is your song

It may be quite simple, but now that it's done

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss

Well a few of the verses, well they've got me quite cross

But the sun's been quite kind

While I wrote this song

It's for people like you that keep it turned on

The boys were squeezing each other’s hands and MC was sure that she could she tears streaming down behind Saeyoung’s glassed. Saeran looked at her the whole time like she was an angel sent from heaven just for him. MC didn’t even notice that she had started playing the guitar now. She just sang for the two boys who deserved a happy birthday and who she adored so much.

So excuse me forgetting

But these things I do

You see I've forgotten, if they're green or they're blue

Anyway the thing is, what I really mean

Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

MC stepped forward and caressed the cheeks of both twins. Wiping all their tears away.

And you can tell everybody

This is the song

It may be quite simple, but now that it's done

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind

That I put down in words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I hope you don't mind

I hope you don't mind

That I put down in the words

How wonderful life is while you're in the world

The lights in the bunker turned on again. Yoosung cried horribly while Jaehee patted his back, but she also sniffed and blew her nose. Even Jumin wiped away some tears and hoped nobody had seen. Zen smiled happily behind the keyboard, but you could still see that he had also cried.

“Happy Birthday, you two”, MC said smiling wildly. “Saeyoung, Saeran, I hope you know how loved you both are from each person who is here today.”

The twins could not stop crying and MC wiped their tears away again.

“I love you two with all of my heart, please never change. You are both perfect as you are.”

She hugged the twins and they grabbed on her for life.

“Thank you, MC”, Saeyoung sniffed.

“Thank you so much for everything”, Saeran hiccupped.

“We love you, too! So much!” suddenly both spoke up. MC smiled softly. “I know.”

Once everyone had calmed down a bit there was more cake to eat.

“MC?” Saeran asked.

“What is it, love?”

“Can you maybe sing again for us later?” he said while munching on a big peace pf chocolate cake.

“Of course, I can!”

“Oh, and MC?” Saeyoung turned excitedly towards her. “Can we sing with you next time?”

MC laughed: “Sure, honey, I’d love that.”

Saeyoung cheered and Saeran looked away but MC could still sense that he did not dislike the idea.

“Come on you two let’s sing your song!” MC grabbed the hands of the brothers. “Zen, would you help me out again?”

The actor agreed happily and started playing. MC looked at her boys who both looked like they were glowing with happiness and she could feel the love she had for them, once she started to sing again. Their sparkling eyes were everything she needed.

[mystic-messenger-writing]

Maybe where RFA + V find out that MC is a youtuber and they end up filming a video together that becomes very popular on MC's youtube channel.

Heyo anonnie! This was a really fun request to write although I don’t watch that much youtube lol. I hope everyone is staying safe and staying strong! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ Thank you for the request and I hope that you enjoy! ^^

Commission info can be found HERE

Yoosung

He’s so excited!

Yoosung always enjoys watching YouTube videos when he has free time and he’s just so excited to learn that you’re a YouTube

He’s actually the one to suggest doing a video together

And he requests making a video where the two of you bake together

You love the idea and begin filming it with him

The two of you end up making a cute, albeit a bit sloppy, cake as you explain the steps to make it

With a title like “Making the Cutest Cake with the Cutest Boyfriend” instantly makes your video go viral

Yoosung’s so excited, he’s basically a youtube star himself now!

The two of you go on to making a separate channel dedicated to baking and explaining step by step how to make the goodie while the two of you have playful banter

It’s such a wholesome channel and Yoosung is more than happy to make fun videos with his perfect partner

Zen

Zen knew that he had seen you before you joined the RFA and it all clicked when you told him you were a YouTuber

But he gets so excited since the channel Seven made for him a while ago is also popular

He’s so down with filming videos with you

Zen suggests the two of you make a video with him of the two of you singing

Of course you’re a little self conscious singing along side Zen, who has a heavenly voice

But he encourages you and the two of you end up making a silly yet sweet video of you both singing a duet

And it goes viral instantly thanks to the two of you being popular online

You and Zen end up making more videos of you both singing and while they are a little embarrassing and cringy, it becomes something that you two thoroughly enjoy

Zen’s popularity as a singer soars and your own channel gains plenty more subscribers

It becomes something that you and Zen enjoy dearly, and Zen is beyond happy to keep making any and all kinds of videos with you

Jaehee

She’s honestly a little taken aback

Jaehee isn’t super into YouTube to begin with and when you explain to her that you’re a youtuber, she’s surprised

But after watching some of your videos, she understands why you’re so popular and even suggests that the two of you make a video

You’re beyond excited and prepare a challenge for her, to which Jaehee becomes anxious

That is, until you tell her it’s a coffee tasting challenge which gets her on board

You have to contain yourself from squealing with delight everytime Jaehee tastes the coffee and smiles, gushing at how good it is

It becomes a surprise to Jaehee that the video gets viral, she doesn’t understand how her tasting coffee could be so entertaining

But you explain to her that she just looked so cute doing it, which makes her blush shyly

Although it does make her happy and excited, asking to do more videos with you, as long as the challenges don’t involve anything weird

You happily agree and with Jaehee, the two of you continue to make videos and grow in popularity much to Jaehee’s surprise but also secretly delight

Jumin

Jumin’s like ??? “What is a youtube?”

It takes you a while to explain to him what being a youtuber means

But he finally starts to get it and finds every single video you made adorable because he just loves watching you

So you suggest making a video together to which he agrees

And although he wants to make a video discussing the finances of the business world, you have another idea

You two end up making a video dedicated to Elizabeth the III, from Jumin showing off how elegantly she poses to you grooming her silky fur

And it becomes an instant hit and Jumin’s like “obviously because Elizabeth the III is a star who wouldn’t want to watch her?”

It ends up becoming something you both enjoy doing, Jumin gets to spend time with his most favorite person and most favorite cat so he loves it

And while Jumin thinks the videos are silly, you always catch him smiling happily as he watches the videos

Making videos together brings you and Jumin closer and while he still doesn’t fully grasp it, Jumin loves every second of making videos with you

Seven

Seven is so hyped to find out you’re a youtuber!

He’s always enjoyed watching random videos when he’s stressed but he’s so excited that you make videos yourself

You suggest making a video together and he’s so down

The two of you end up doing the “boyfriend does my makeup challenge” at Seven’s request

And it’s a big, fun mess

Seven is awful at doing your makeup, he’s the type of guy who has no idea what anything makeup related is

And the final result of Seven’s skills is you having a face full of colorful, misplaced makeup

But between the hilarious result and yours and Seven’s banter, your video ends up going viral

You have a sneaking suspicion that Seven hacked into it and made it grow in popularity, but he denies it

Either way, you both genuinely had a fun time making the video and you and Seven end up making many more goofy but fun videos together

V

V, like his best friend, is a little confused when you tel him you’re a youtuber

While he is a photographer, he doesn’t know much about video uploading until you introduce him to it

He loves watching your videos and eagerly asks to make one together with you

After some thought, the two of you decided to make a video simply showcasing V’s cactus garden and doing a house tour mainly to focusing on V’s studio

It’s a basic video that V doesn’t even think you should upload but you know his wholesomeness will attract viewers

And that it does

He’s shocked when you tell him that the video goes viral, he thinks of himself as uninteresting and doesn’t see how anyone would want to watch it

Until V realizes you were in it which would make anyone watch anything because you’re so cute on camera

You and V end up making more videos together, most of them fairly simple and laid back but it’s something that the two of you love doing and make a fun hobby of being a youtube couple

Hello there! Can I get a match up?

I'm a college student just in general studies, and honestly I have no idea where I'm going from here! It's just kind of a "fuck it, we ball" situation and...I don't know if I should laugh at this actually ANYWAYS.

If there's one thing I love to do, it's watch Cafe vlogs. Something about the sound of the coffee grinders and ice hitting the cups just makes me feel things. Can watch it for hours and this may sound boring but like ... trust me it's a blast. I tend to try out a lot of recipes I see on these vlogs, such as cakes and fancy decorating, complicated lattes, (and I am attempting latte art...however I am not very skilled!) I also like to make fruit tarts!

As for other hobbies, I read and write quite a bit. I like poetry and just about any form of creative writing there is. I like nature walks, in which I collect tons of pretty rocks. I collect crystals too! I think they're gorgeous, my favorite one is rose quartz. I love to thrift as well! Specifically for vintage items and clothing, one of my best clothing finds was a black lace dress that hugs the chest area, but is super poofy below the waist! I have also found pretty pearl necklaces and a teddy bear mug I always make teas in.

If I had to describe myself in a few aesthetics they would be royaltycore, vintage, and sometimes just straight up grunge there is no in betweens I either look like I work at hot topic or I look like I work at Disney.

And probably most importantly, my personality... I'm pretty shy not gonna lie. I struggle to make friends because either I just don't know what to say or I try WAYY too hard to get people to like me. So my current friend group is small. I do tend to crack a lot of jokes, and I would say my humor is very all over the place. Sometimes I'm dry and sarcastic, and others It's just stupid or even dark. I'm also very naturally curious about things, I love to research and learn, and because of this I always have a ton of fun facts ready to give to people at any given time. I get anxious very easily, to the point I literally can hardly even order my own meals or hold a conversation about the weather with a cashier, but I am the type of person who, if my friend has the same problem I'm doing it for them. Like HELLO, THEY ASKED FOR NO KETCHUP! Yk? I can be a little mean when it comes to teasing, but only with people who I know are okay with it. (I am a teeny bit sadistic but also masochist so uhm. Do what you will with that?)

I also like to give people homemade gifts and treats just because :) and the most imporant question of all "cats or dogs?" I like both! But dogs are a bit more my speed. Especially big dogs. This ended up being very long!! Please have a wonderful day, I adore your blog 💞💞💞

I match you with...

Yoosung!

So, you're somebody who knows what you like and you enjoy doing it. There are things you love to do that nobody can hold you back from. If somebody sets you loose in a kitchen, you go ahead and make sure that you utilize that time as much as humanly possible.

You like to make treats for other people, including yourself. There's something poetic about knowing that something small you can do can make somebody's day that much brighter. Even if you're not that outgoing of a person, you still enjoy the pleasure that comes from seeing a friend smile. That's why it's so easy for you to get along with somebody like Yoosung. 

You are just the right balance of outgoing and sweet for him. Sure, he may be a bit more of an extrovert than you, but that's not saying much. The two of you enjoy your circle of friends, and it doesn't matter that it may be smaller than others. It's good to have people you're close to you can count on. Your bright and bubbly nature inspires him. The way you hum in the kitchen when you're working makes him want to be right there beside you doing the same thing. you bring out the passion inside of him that yearns to be able to make something sweet even if he doesn't quite know how to make that happen.

Mystic Messenger: My First Impressions (spoilers)

So I just started playing this game a few days ago and, since my opinions of characters often change throughout the course of a game/show, I wanted to document how I first see them and compare it to how I feel when I finish the game! I compare it to Obey Me! A lot because that’s the first game like this I’ve ever played (it’s lovely go check it out if you’ve never heard of it) and the characters are named after demons so that’s why I’m talking about Satan please don’t be worried. K thanks <3

Zen:

- I played Obey Me before this so all I can do is compare them right off the bat

- Zen seems like a more chill version of Asmo? I can’t explain it.

- Like he’s flirty but knows when to stop and be serious. As much as I adore Asmo, he can be a little much.

- “I’m not famous omggg stahp~”

- He seems very kind though, and humble. Can we even call it humble? I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and call it humble.

- I’m not sure how I feel about the ponytail but maybe it’ll grow on me.

- So its later and it’s kinda grown on me—

707:

- okay but his real name is so pretty! Luciel~ I’m a sucker for dudes who use aliases but also have pretty names (*cough* Mello/Mihael *cough*)

- He gives me Matt from Death Note vibes? Must be the hacking and red hair.

- He seems really playful and chill but also kinda like a crackhead and I’m excited to get to know him more.

- I feel like we’d get along great in real life.

Jumin:

- Okay so right off the bat I know characters like this and they don’t really interest me a whole lot.

- Reminds me of Lucifer from Obey Me but with the cat obsession of Satan.

- The thing that interests me most about him right now is his cat

- Seriously can we get a route where we just end up adopting his cat? I want it please <3

- But he seems nicer that Luci so far and hasn’t tried to kill us yet so he’s okay in my book.

Yoosung:

- okay. Um. BABY—

- Sweet baby boy I wanna hold him and cuddle him already omg

- I usually go for the sweet and cute, shorter than average boys so this development doesn’t exactly surprise me.

- But...I already got spoiled for his yandere tendencies so I’m going into this knowing what’s gonna go down

- And the signs are there.

- I mean he barely knows us and he’s all “I trust you, it’s like a sixth sense!”

- What’s worse? Idk if I mind it all that much. I can differentiate between fiction and reality, plus Yandere/dark tropes are pretty interesting to me and I wanna see where it leads 👀

Jaehee:

- so I think the hell yes.

- I didn’t see them up close for a while and I thought they were a dude but when I found out they were female it did not deter me whatsoever.

- She’s real cute and proper but I feel like she could have a secret dumbass side too.

- I’m really excited to get to know her and chat with her more!

- Oh yeah she reminds me of Barbados. Just a lil bit.

V:

- Back at it with the Obey Me comparisons! This time it’s Diavolo.

- His hair is real cool.

- I’m curious about his...whole entire occupation. Like what on earth does he do? I’m scared.

- He makes me think he knows something because he probably does. Idk what about but he’s got this vibe I don’t like.

Ray:

- literally no idea who this man is yet.

- but his hair’s pretty cool!

- looks Emo and I’m into it

[marveloussupernerd]

epiphany - Yoosung Kim

I fell asleep in the middle of this one too. This seems to be a trend for when I write for Yoosung haha. “Luckily” I woke up around 3:15 and got to work finishing it. A little disclaimer: they never explicitly state what exactly Unknown did to Yoosung’s eye, so I did take a bit of creative freedom. Also have no idea how eye injuries work and did NOT want to Google it (that stuff grossed me out). I think the description is pretty mild / lacking, so hopefully it doesn’t gross you out if you’re sensitive to it?

Warnings: hospital, eye injury (kind of speculating on Yoosung’s injury in his route)

Summary: Yoosung has to return to the hospital after the RFA party to get more treatment, but you decide to visit him this time around to find out what happened and make sure he’s okay

Yoosung was the first to pull away from the kiss, cheeks bright red as he glanced at the people at the RFA party staring at him, breathing heavily as he attempted to catch his breath.

“Yoosung,” you whispered, hands very carefully making your way close to the wraps around his eye. “What happened? I thought you said you were safe.”

“Oh, about that,” he looked down at the ground, not wanting to meet your eye. He looked like a kicked puppy, surely disappointed in himself for lying to you. “I didn’t want you to call off the party or worry or anything. Plus, I am safe! Just a little less healthy than I was before.”

“Yoosung, we should go back to the hospital,” V said, making his way over to the two of you. He greeted you quickly, as this was your first time meeting, but focused his attention on Yoosung.

“You have to go back?” You asked. You hadn’t realized it was that bad.

“Oh, uh, don’t worry!” Yoosung put on his brightest smile for you, grabbing both of your hands in his. “They just wanna keep me overnight again so they can monitor it and change my wraps and stuff. No big deal.”

“Overnight... again?”

“You’re so sweet. Don’t worry about me, I’ll be okay. I’ll be sure to call you and text you a lot.” He seemed to be trying to wink. You couldn’t really tell, but it did make you laugh, which made him smile even wider. “Take care of yourself, okay?” He asked. You nodded.

“I should be the one telling you that. Let me know when you get there.”

He left. The second he exited the room you worked on your plan; you really wanted to visit him. Jumin made a few calls to ensure you’d be able to stay with him past visiting hours if he wanted you to. Two hours later, you were admitted into his room.

He was sleeping in his hospital bed, a little bit of drool on his pillow. You took a seat in the chair next to his bed, deciding to wait patiently for him to wake up. His nose twitched, eyebrow furrowing. He muttered your name. He was adorable. His eye fluttered open, then shut, then open again.

“Yoosung...?” You asked, unsure if he was entirely awake. He groaned your name again. You giggled. “Are you awake?” You questioned, your voice soft enough that you wouldn’t stir him if he was asleep and dreaming.

“This... isn’t a dream?” He asked, his eye opening, voice groggy. He quickly wiped the drool on the side of his mouth. “You’re really here?”

“Mhm,” you stood up to get close enough to give him a kiss on the cheek. “I hope that’s okay with you. I can come back another time if you’d like.”

“No!” He sounded more alert now, his voice had an urgent edge to it. “I’m so happy you’re here. You should stay here... uh, if you want.”

“Of course. I wasn’t planning on only watching you sleep then leaving when you woke up,” you teased. His cheeks flushed red.

“You haven’t even changed your clothes from the party,” he commented, eyeing your ensemble. He was right. You didn’t want to waste time stopping home and changing.

“Yeah... I forgot to get you a gift too. I’ll bring one in tomorrow or something. I just wanted to get here as quick as possible,” you promised.

“You kidding? Having you here with me is the best gift ever,” he grinned. “I won’t be here for long, but you sure do brighten this hospital room.”

“Do you think they’ll let you out tomorrow?” You sat back down, reaching out your hand so you could hold his, he grabbed it, linking fingers with you, letting your thumb be on top so you could trace circles around the back of his hand.

“They aren’t entirely sure. They don’t see this type of thing everyday,” he stated. He was so indifferent about the whole thing. He was probably trying to be brave.

“Does it hurt?”

He played with his blanket with his free hand, not quite meeting your eyes. “I mean... yeah. But I’m okay. It’ll get better.”

There was a knock on the door, which drew both of your attention. It was a doctor, followed by a nurse. “Hi Yoosung, how’s it feeling?” The doctor had a dazzling smile and seemed very nonchalant. He must see things like this pretty frequently in his field.

“Uh, it’s okay. It’s starting to hurt more again.” He was so brave. It really was amazing to see.

“Alright, we’ll get some more pain meds for you. I want to replace your bandages now though if that’s okay and take a quick look at everything.” The nurse started very carefully unraveling the bandages around his head, the doctor pulling out a little light.

“You might wanna look away for this,” Yoosung advised, glancing at you. “Uhm... it’s not pretty.”

You squeezed his hand even tighter, reassuring your presence. “So, who’s your friend here?” The doctor asked, trying to keep conversation going to take Yoosung’s mind off the pain.

“We’re dating actually,” Yoosung replied. He sounded so confident and happy.

“Congratulations! It’s always nice to have someone to visit you.” They peeled the last of the bandage off. “Okay, it’s gonna be a little bright, but try your best to keep your eye open,” he ordered.

You couldn’t look away. You couldn’t see his entire eye very well, but what you could see... the entire area around it was dark and swollen and kind of crusty. The nurse pulled out some sort of wipe to try and keep the area clean. His eye was very red, very tiny needle-thin pricks covering across his eyeball. “Jesus Christ Yoosung,” you commented in awe, words spilling out of your mouth before you had a chance to think about it. You squeezed his hand tighter. “That’s what you’ve been saying isn’t that bad?”

Yoosung laughed, a tear instinctively flowing out of his bad eye from all the light and irritation. “He’s one of the bravest patients I’ve had in a while, that’s for sure,” the doctor commented, turning to smile reassuringly at you. “Now Yoosung, what do you see?”

He closed his good eye, squinting out of the other. It might have been cute in a different situation. “Colors are still pretty good. Everything just looks kind of smeared though.” His voice was steady; he was so professional about this all.

The doctor clicked off his flashlight, the nurse handing him a roll of new bandages. He got to work wrapping it back around Yoosung’s eye. “It’s still pretty infected, so I’m going to call in a higher dose of antibiotics. And then something more for the pain too.” He took a step back, as though to admire his handiwork. “You’re doing everything you can, though. Just try to relax and let your body take care of it. Relaxing is the most important.”

“Sure thing. Thank you, Doctor,” Yoosung smiled, a sort of sad smile admittedly, as the doctor left, bidding the two of you goodbye and promising to get his medicine as soon as possible.

It was just the two of you again. You glanced up at him. It was silent for a little while, the two of you glancing at each other but not knowing what words to say. Eventually, he spoke first. “I know it’s scary looking... don’t worry about it too much. I’m okay. I’m sorry if it grossed you out or scared you or anything.”

Tears leaked from your eyes; you stood abruptly and gave him the best hug you could given he was in a hospital bed. “I’m sorry,” you cried. He wrapped his arms around your back, rubbing it soothingly. “You didn’t deserve any of this. You’ve been so brave.”

“I feel like I’ve been able to be brave thanks to you,” he was smiling for real now, eye sparkling. “I want to be brave. I don’t want to worry you. I’m sorry I have.”

You paused for a second, voice shaky. “What exactly happened at the hacker’s place?” You pulled away from him slightly so you could study his face, it falling slightly. “You don’t have to tell me! If you don’t wanna relive it that’s okay.”

“No, it’s okay. But maybe you should sit down,” he advised, still smiling. He was always smiling, a genuine smile to calm your nerves. You plopped back down on your chair, reaching out to hold his hand again. “Things were going well for a while, then the hacker found us. He had a button. I was afraid he would blow us up and the apartment... Seven was... weird. Like he knew him somehow. He asked me to stay in the hall for a while.”

“That is sort of weird. Maybe he knew him from hacking school or something?” You rationalized. You didn’t want Yoosung to lose his faith in Seven; he was one of his closest friends.

“Oh! I thought that too. Anyways, he tried to set off the bomb but I stopped him. Told Seven to run away with the detonator as fast as he could, but the hacker caught me. I had ruined his plans so he wanted to have payback or something,” Yoosung’s eyes focused on his blanket. “He knew I wanted to be a vet so he decided to try and take my eyesight so it would be impossible.”

“So that’s what you want to be,” you commented, trying to brighten the mood slightly, thinking back to when he kept his major a secret. He chuckled. “I still think you’d be great at that. With or without a bad eye.”

“I think he was trying to get them both, but he ran out of time. I’m not sure what exactly happened, but a bunch of like SWAT guys broke in and helped me out of the place.”

“That’s crazy,”

“Yeah. It was. But I’m here now,” he looked up, smiling, “With you.”

You were still in shock. “How... how did you endure all that torture though?”

His ears started to heat up red. “Honestly, I thought of you. It was the one thing that helped take my mind off the pain while he was doing...” he shivered, “that. I just dreamt of you the whole time. I couldn’t leave you. Not yet. We were only pre-dating at the time.”

You leaned forward, pressing a very gentle kiss to his lips. “You’re so so brave. My knight in shining armor.”

“I wasn’t until I met you. But I wanna be brave for you.” Up super close he looked exhausted, his under eyes slightly dark, eye droopy.

“You’re so sweet,” you said, your voice quiet this time. “You look tired. Why don’t you try and get some sleep?”

“But... but then when I wake up it’ll probably be night and you’ll be gone!” He whined. He seemed nervous this time to be alone.

“Nope. Jumin pulled some strings. I can stay all night if you want me to.”

“Really?” The smile on his face was contagious. “Of course I want you to... is it really okay if I fall asleep for a little?”

“Of course Yoosung. Get some rest, and when you wake up I’ll be right by your side.”

He shifted to get comfortable, hand still holding yours tight. You scooted your chair closer to him so that he didn’t have to strain his arm to hold your hand. You figured it was helping him feel a bit more grounded. “Good night Yoosung. Sweet dreams,” you whispered.

“Only if I meet you in them,” he uttered, his eye fluttering shut peacefully.
