#Mystic Messenger headcanon

[password-door-lock]

Lately I can't stop thinking about sharing a bed with Saeran.

GE Saeran sleeps on his side (as evidenced by the CG where he’s sleeping on his side lol). If you also sleep on your side, then he probably wants to be the little spoon (unless you have a strong preference to the contrary, in which case the two of you can alternate) but if you sleep in the fetal position or something like that, then he's perfectly content being the big spoon, as well. If you sleep on your stomach or your back, then he'll curl up against you with an arm draped over you. The most important thing for him is being close to you, and he can be flexible as far as what that looks like. I do think that if you end up as the little spoon at night due to your sleeping position, you'll probably end up as the big spoon a lot more when the two of you cuddle during the day. Also, the shark plushie is going to be present while the two of you are resting— if he's holding you, Saeran probably won't be able to also hold onto the shark, but it'll still be in the same bed. Maybe you might even be the one to hold onto it some nights! Although physical touch is something he really enjoys, if you’re not feeling up to it for whatever reason, Saeran totally understands! He might elect to wear one of your sweatshirts to bed instead (and let you wear one of his if you’d like to) or cuddle with one of your plushies. Ultimately, what’s most important to him is that both of you feel safe and comfortable while you get the rest that you need. He likes having two or three really plush pillows and only minimal blankets, since he doesn’t get cold easily during the night— he probably won’t even notice it if you steal the covers from him in your sleep. Even though Saeran wakes up occasionally in the middle of the night, he doesn't worry about it too much. He knows that he's still getting rest as long as he's laying there, even if he isn't technically asleep, and of course, he cherishes the time with you.

Ray also sleeps on his side, but unlike GE Saeran, he's very, very nervous about accidentally upsetting you or unknowingly crossing your boundaries. He’s new to this, and he can’t imagine that you would actually want him that close to you. Even if you tell him it's okay, Ray probably wouldn't want to initiate any physical contact at first, though of course, he daydreams about holding you close. He'd probably stay securely on his own side of the bed, taking care not to bother you in any way as he falls asleep watching you rest— he’ll allow himself to turn to face you. To him, being able to look your way while he falls asleep is pure heaven. If you don’t want to be touched, Ray totally understands that— the last thing he wants is to cross your boundaries, and besides, he’s happy enough just seeing that you’re resting well. If, however, the two of you have been together longer and gotten more comfortable sharing a bed, then he'll be over the moon to cuddle up with you if you’d like. Ray really likes being held— if you sleep on your back, he'll rest his head on your chest. If you sleep on your stomach, he might try sleeping on his stomach, too, and you can drape your arm around him. If you sleep on your side, he wants to be the little spoon. If you sleep in the fetal position, he'll probably figure out some creative contortion that allows him to be held by you all night. But, of course, if you'd prefer to be held instead, then he'd be happy to do that sometimes, too! He doesn’t really like to be under the covers at all, and he’s not used to using a pillow, so he doesn’t have any very specific pillow preferences. Although his body won’t let him sleep for more than three hours straight (he has nightmares, and his circadian rhythms are skewed anyway), he’s worried about waking you up, so he’ll stay with you for as long as he’s able to justify putting off his work, even if he can’t fall back asleep. 

Suit sleeps on his back. It's the way that he feels the safest— he's able to look around the room and see everything as he's falling asleep and if he's woken up. If, for some reason, you find yourself falling asleep in the same bed as him before his apology (which is very unlikely), it will likely be your idea. First, he’ll laugh at you for even suggesting something like that, and then, if he decides to humor you, he'll probably just pose you on your side, curled up against him, with his arm around you possessively. It doesn't matter how you normally sleep— you're his toy, and he's already being very generous by letting you rest in the first place. He sees sleeping when one could be working as a sign of weakness, so he’ll probably do his best to stay up even if you fall asleep in this position, and he may even taunt you for being so clueless as to show him such a vulnerable side of yourself. In actuality, he has no idea what to do once you’re actually beside him, and he might end up getting frustrated and pushing you away. However, after his apology, he'd be even more nervous and awkward than Ray— but Suit, too, ultimately does like to be held. He'd let you curl up next to him with his arm around you, rest your head on his chest, or even lean against him, depending on how you’re the most comfortable. Even if he can’t understand why on Earth you would even want to cuddle up with somebody like him, he has no intention of causing you any more discomfort or pain. If you're a stomach sleeper, though, he might end up with his arm at an awkward angle all night to accommodate you, so be warned and adjust accordingly! That being said, if you’re not someone who enjoys physical touch, the last thing he wants to do is cross your boundaries again! As much as he likes being held, he'll be just as content to lay beside you without touching and listen to your calm breathing as you sleep. He likes firm pillows, and he feels much more secure laying on top of the covers in his suit than snuggling up under them in flimsy pajamas. He’s too hyper-vigilant at Magenta to fall asleep easily, but he’ll set an alarm for one hour just in case he does manage to drift off for a bit. Whether he’s taking a break from hacking the messenger or hiding from the believers, Suit does not have time to lay around with you forever. 

Unknown doesn't really like to sleep very much. Sometimes, he falls asleep at his desk— whether you happen to be sitting on his lap or not. He doesn’t care at all about his own comfort— the only reason he ever sleeps is because his body is forcing him to, and the way he sees it, a stiff neck is worth it if it gets him even a little bit closer to his revenge. The rest of the time, he uses the couch that's been brought into the intelligence room so that he doesn't have to waste time walking to his room and back during the night. On those nights, neither one of you has many options other than to sleep on your side— Unknown likes to have you facing him, with your head resting against his chest. Pressing you close to him like that gives him a weird sense of comfort that he can’t really explain. Besides, he doesn’t like the idea of you looking at his monitors while he’s asleep if you lay facing away from him, so he tells himself that it's not like he really has a choice. If the two of you actually end up in a bed, then that means he's too exhausted to argue that it's a waste of time— he might end up sprawled across the mattress however he falls on it, taking up most of the available space and leaving you to slide in wherever and however you'll fit. It’s been so long since he’s had a proper night’s sleep in a proper bed that he’s probably going to be a bit awkward about it. If he's awake enough, he'll pull you close and hold onto you for more of that strange comfort, but he might be too tired even for that. If you don’t want to be touched, there’s a really simple solution for that— you can just sleep at a different time from him, or in a different location, and he’ll give you work to do while his body is forcing him to rest. He doesn’t care where or how or if you sleep— he just cares that you’re getting your work done, or so he claims, at least. He doesn’t see any point in using pillows or blankets when he can sleep just fine without them, and he honestly thinks you’re kind of spoiled for wanting things like that. Because he regularly pushes his body to the limit, when he does allow himself to rest, he sleeps very heavily for a fairly long time. If you’re in his grip, then you’re not getting out of it anytime soon, and otherwise, you’d best leave him alone. 

SE Saeran also sleeps on his back, and his thoughts on sharing a bed are... complicated. He likes to be close to you, but he often has nightmares, and he knows that he kicks sometimes in his sleep. You’d have to be very, very close to him for Saeran to allow you to see him in such a vulnerable position, and even then, he’d still be nervous about inadvertently doing you harm. After all, he’s tried sleeping with plushies before, and he always wakes up to find that he’s thrown them onto the floor during the night. What if he pushes you off the bed or something? What if he lashes out, erroneously thinking that you’re one of the monsters from his past? The first couple of times you stay over, he doesn't sleep at all— he just lays beside you, feeling calmed by your peaceful breathing, even if he's anxious. Then, after that, he'll try out sleeping with you in the same bed but not touching him at all, and when he finds that he doesn't accidentally kick or elbow you in his sleep, he'll start to feel more comfortable with the idea of getting closer. Sometimes, he’s content to fall asleep in your embrace, whatever that might look like. Sometimes, he wants to cuddle with you for a while before separating to sleep on separate sides of the bed. Sometimes, though, he might decide that he doesn’t want to be touched at all, and the two of you might stay on opposite ends of the bed all night, or you’ll go home early and video call him from your own bed, instead. Naturally, on nights when you have similar issues, Saeran will be just as accommodating. He’s not picky about pillows, but he’s strongly opposed to having any kind of covers over him, and he often sleeps with a fan because he feels like the bunker is too hot. If you like having lots of blankets, he’ll keep them in his room for you, but the pair of you will have to work something out to ensure that he doesn’t get too hot during the night. Sometimes he gets up in the middle of the night, but he’s always sure to be extra careful when getting in and out of bed so that he doesn’t disturb your rest.

Just A Little Longer

Seven smiles as he sits in his neon green sports car, golden eyes trained on none other than Yoosung Kim. 

The two of them are at a drive in movie. Though Yoosung is enraptured in the plot of the live action LOLOL movie, eating the snacks they snuck in and gazing at the screen with his sparkling violet eyes, Seven couldn’t care less about the showing. Instead, he watches Yoosung, his heart fluttering as he sips on his soda. The other man is wearing Seven’s hoodie, that of which Seven insisted on wrapping around him.

It’s not Seven’s fault that Yoosung decided to wear a t-shirt in the middle of fall. What else was he supposed to do? Let his good friend freeze?

Yoosung is completely distracted, not so much as sparing Seven a glance. Yoosung has been yapping about seeing this movie for months, so Seven wanted to surprise him by taking him to this early showing at the drive in theater. He’s glad that it seems to have paid off. 

Seven pays just enough attention to the movie to engage when Yoosung tries to talk to him about it, but for the most part, he’s focused on Yoosung.

He’s not sure what to do about their… Situation. They’ve known each other for years now, and for all of those years, Yoosung has loved Seven. Seven can just tell. Yoosung radiates love and affection in his reactions to Seven’s jokes, in his constant reminders for Seven to eat healthy, in his constant invitations for them to spend time along together. Yoosung wears his emotions openly, unlike Seven, and it’s something Seven has always admired about him. But, back then, when this first started, he assumed it was a puppy dog crush. They were young and stupid, naive and dumb, only having just met.

Now, they’ve been friends for six years. Things have changed. Mint Eye has been shut down, Yoosung has finished school, Saeran has been living with Seven for years, Yoosung opened his own veterinarian clinic and moved out of his school dorms months ago. Everything is just… Different. Yet, despite both of them having grown up so much, Yoosung hasn’t outgrown his puppy dog crush… Because that’s never what it was. Seven realizes that. Seven realizes that Yoosung is in love with him, and has been since they’ve known each other. Even worse, Seven realizes that he’s in love with Yoosung, too. He always has been.

Before, he had excuses. He didn’t think he deserved someone as innocent as Yoosung. He didn’t want to allow himself to be happy until Saeran was safe. 

Now, he has no excuses. He loves Yoosung and Yoosung loves him. But, how could he say anything about his feelings after all of this time…? 

Slowly but surely, the movie comes to an end. Everyone leaves as the credits roll, but Seven doesn’t bother, knowing that Yoosung wants to stay until the very last second in case there’s any bonus scenes included. Seven doesn’t mind. It’s nice to see Yoosung happy after everything they’ve been through. Eventually, Yoosung finishes his snacks and gets out of the car to throw his trash in the nearby bin. Seven keeps a close eye on him as the last few people in the lot drive onto the near-empty street.

“Well, it’s about that time,” Seven lets out a small whistle before putting his seatbelt back on and turning to Yoosung. “We better get you home! But don’t worry, I’ll take the scenic route.”

Yoosung nods, to which Seven speeds out of the lot. He lets the roof of his convertible down so the wind can blow through their hair. Yoosung lets out a nervous laugh and clutches his seatbelt. Seven takes the long way, avoiding the busy roads with other cars and blasting music he doesn’t really like because he knows it’s Yoosung’s favorite.

“S-Seven, isn’t it dangerous to speed at night like this?”

“Oh, c’mon, you know I’m a good driver! We’ll be fine! Plus, I’m only, like, ten over the limit,” Seven teases while slowing down. As amusing as it is, he doesn’t want to mess with Yoosung and upset him when the night is going so well. “Don’t tell me you’re scared?”

“Shut up,” Yoosung scolds. The blush that takes over his cheeks glows light pink underneath the moonlight that shines on them. “We should get back soon, I have work tomorrow!”

“Fine, fine! I’ll take you back, ‘kay?” Seven laughs.

With that, Seven drives them back to Yoosung’s home, the upbeat pop pouring from the speakers filling the silence. They pull into Yoosung’s driveway. Seven pauses- he had wanted to tell Yoosung tonight. But Yoosung seems happy, and different, and Seven wonders for a moment if he could be wrong.

Yoosung takes his seatbelt off and glances towards Seven. Seven quickly talks himself out of his previous thoughts- Yoosung’s face is bright red and he’s staring at Seven as if the hacker makes the world spin. The utter love and adoration Yoosung feels for Seven radiates off of him, and briefly, Seven wonders if Yoosung can tell how he feels, too. 

No, there’s no way. Yoosung isn’t nearly so perceptive of others. Someone could send him a love letter and he still wouldn’t get the message. 

“Alright,” Yoosung nods and grabs the door handle to open it so he can exit the car. “I had a lot of fun, Seven. Thanks for taking me.”

Seven wants to say something so, so desperately. But he can’t- at least, he can’t say anything that matters. All he does is make another joke.

“Sure thing! Let’s do it again when LOLOL dies in ten years and they release another shitty live action movie to try to revive it,” He quickly answers with the biggest grin he can muster, even as disappointment courses through his veins.

Why couldn’t he just say something?

“Heh, yeah… Drive safe, okay?”

“No promises!” Seven exclaims with a laugh and a wink. Yoosung averts his eyes and laughs back before turning away and heading to his front door. As soon as Yoosung is out of sight, Seven’s smile falls. “God dammit…”

~

Yoosung returns to his home with his heart beating fast, his cheeks bright red, and a huge grin taking over his face. It’s silly, really- he’s an adult now, an adult with a job and a house and responsibilities- yet being with Seven makes him feel like he’s still that young kid he was so many years ago, with so much to be excited about. 

As Yoosung shuts the door behind him, locking it and leaning back against the wooden frame, he hears his phone go off. He pulls the device out of his pocket and slides down to sit on the floor so he can turn it on. The notification bar shows that it’s a text from Seven- probably just to check that he got inside of the house safely, or maybe a meme. Yoosung opens the text with a smile, only for said smile to twist into a frown as soon as he sees the words displayed on his screen.

707: Are you…

707: Still in love with me?

Upon reading the text over again, Yoosung’s racing heart stops. 

Seven knows.

How long has Seven known?

Is this some sort of prank? No, it can’t be. There’s no ridiculous fake proof or emojis sent with the messages. Nothing to indicate that Seven is just shitting around like he normally does.

Yoosung panics and tries to type up a response. At first, he thinks he should play stupid with a simple ‘what’, but then he realizes Seven is smarter than that and backtracks. Should he try to lie? Be honest? Explain everything? Yoosung has no idea. He’s never done anything like this before, let alone with someone as unpredictable as Seven.

Finally, Yoosung manages to send something back.

Yoosung★: Yeah.

Part of him expects to get blocked. Part of him expects for his phone to ring.

Instead, he receives no response at all. Bubbles pop up on the screen to indicate that Seven is typing, only to fade into nothingness, followed by Seven going offline.

Tears well up in Yoosung’s eyes as he thinks about what could’ve given him away. Did he do something tonight to tip Seven off? Was it a text he sent? Maybe one time that their flirting in the chatroom got a little too real? Or has Seven known for a long time? The pleasant blush that warmed his cheeks moments before now feels like a roaring fire, consuming his entire body in a scalding, humiliation-induced heat. 

And then, to make things worse, there’s a knock on the door. Yoosung nearly jumps out of his skin at the sound. He checks the time to see that it’s already past ten.

Who would even come at this time? Agitated, hurt, and confused, Yoosung puts his phone back in the pocket of his hoodie- this stupid ass hoodie Seven insisted on draping over his shoulders, this stupid ass hoodie that smells like cologne. Yoosung pauses. Since when does Seven wear cologne? Hell, why does it matter? 

It does smell nice…

Yoosung shakes his head and opens the door. Surprisingly enough, Seven is the one standing on his porch, pale cheeks as red as his hair and golden eyes trained on Yoosung’s cat-themed welcome mat. 

“I thought you left?” Yoosung questions.

“Uh, no, I was waiting for you to get inside like I always do,” Seven murmurs. Yoosung had no idea Seven did that. To be honest, Yoosung always assumed Seven sped off as soon as he was out of the passenger’s seat. “But then I texted you that and… Well, I never left, so I decided to just come talk to you.”

“Um, here,” Yoosung opens the door wide enough for Seven to come inside. 

Rather than entering the house, however, Seven stays on the porch, twiddling his thumbs. 

“I’m sorry,” The redhead starts. Yoosung winces at that. Honestly, if a rejection is coming like he suspects, he would’ve rather had it happen over text. At least that way, Seven wouldn’t have to see his pathetic post-rejection blubbering. “I’ve, uh, I’ve known for a while… I guess it was messed up to just text you like that instead of telling you when we were hanging out…”

“You really knew all this time?” Yoosung starts. He wishes it weren’t that way- it’s embarrassing to think back on all the times he and Seven have been hanging out, with Yoosung trying so hard to hide his feelings and Seven completely aware. Yoosung prays for a hole to manifest beneath his feet and suck him in, away from this awkward situation. “How could you not say anything!? You just love humiliating me, don’t you? Or is this just another one of your pranks?”

“No, no, Yoosung, it’s-” Seven enters the house at that point, pushing the door closed behind him and stuttering over his words. Yoosung isn’t sure whether to be angry, embarrassed, sad, or… Something else. He has no idea what’s going on, at least not until Seven grabs him by the wrist and drags him in for a hug. “Please believe me when I say that I’m being serious for once, I… I return your feelings. I love you, and I’m not joking about that.”

Yoosung lets out a sigh of relief. Still, he’s baffled. If Seven knew, why wouldn’t he have said anything?

“I’m just- why? Why didn’t you tell me if you knew?”

“I had a lot going on,” Seven explains, and it’s true. Between his childhood, the Prime Minister, Saeran, Mint Eye, and the agency, Seven has had a lot going on in recent years. Though Yoosung is frustrated at the time wasted, he knows full well that Seven wouldn’t have been able to handle a relationship on top of any of that. “But I should’ve told you, I… I mean, I don’t know, I didn’t expect you to hold feelings for me for this long either. I’ve played some pretty mean jokes on you. Not only that, but you’re so successful now, and you’ve lead a happy, normal life. I didn’t think you’d want to be with someone like me, but lately…”

“Seven,” Yoosung pulls away, brow furrowed. “It’s weird that you thought I wouldn’t have loved you before… My feelings for you have always been the same, even when you were struggling, and even now that I’m ‘successful’!”

And Seven’s hugging him again. This time, he embraces Seven in return. He melts into the hug, enjoying the feeling of Seven’s arms wrapped around him tightly, the feeling of one of Seven’s hands gently running over his back. For a moment, it’s quiet again. The silence is only broken by Seven, who says-

“Thank you, Yoosung.”

“It’s late,” Yoosung murmurs. “Why don’t you stay? We can watch another movie. This time, it can be one you actually like instead of LOLOL…”

Seven shakes his head.

“Let’s just stay like this for a little longer.”

And Yoosung smiles.

“Okay. Just a little longer.”

👋Mys Mes gang reactions to you smacking their ass 👀

Yoosung: Lets out a high pitched yelp and turns to look at you with a red face that reaches his ears and neck, babbling some form of "what was that for?". If you tell him it's because you like his butt he'll go into a flustered argument that guys don't get their ass slapped and that his butt isn't cute. If he didn't know he liked being spanked before he does now though.

Zen: Depending on the smack if you just tap him lightly he'll protest jokingly and return the favor, if you smack him hard he'll have mixed feelings between feeling a little emasculated and liking your attention. Will start smacking and grabbing you more since you seem into it but will dodge and complain when you try to get in some shots.

Jaehee: When you do it the first time she full body JOLTS and turns to you with a look of disbelief, did you??? Turns around every which way to make sure no one saw. Would scold you for being so shameless but is loathe to admit she likes it when you're so bold. Will still scold you when ever you smack or grab her butt BUT will smack yours too and smugly say it's only fair.

Seven: Doesn't miss a beat, immediately smacks your ass back and it starts an ass smacking war. Is into all kinds of rough housing type flirting so chasing you all over the house to smack, grab, or bite you is nothing new. You put the boundaries you need but remember he has sadistic streak so careful what you start.

Jumin: Also very playful. When you first smack him and smile coyly he doesn't react much, just letting out a small puff of air and smiling back at you. He'll let you let your guard down before he returns the favor. You play a small game of tag this way through out the day, landing hits when no one is looking or can hear.

V: LOL when you first do it he gives you the benefit of the doubt that it was an accident or a misunderstanding, but then of coarse you do it again with purpose. Gets a little red when he realizes whats going on, like Jaehee likes it when you're so bold but doesn't return the favor because his smacks are more like taps.

Saeran: HAS NO POINT OF REFERENCE THAT THIS IS FLIRTY. Turns to look at you a little hurt, why did you smack me? :( You'll have to explain yourself. Forgives you but doesn't like it, wont do it back to you but will put up with it if it makes you happy. Why would you though :( it's no fun this way.

[galaxytastes]

Okay, but consider... Mystic Messenger main 7, except in Genshin's universe. What visions do you think each of them would have? Or who wouldn't have one, if you believe so 🤔

Ohohohoho, thank you for asking me this! My friends and I have talked about this plenty of times and have come up with vision/weapon headcanons for all of them (including Rika and Vanderwood, of course.) If you think otherwise or want to share your headcanons, please let me know. I love talking about Genshin and Mystic Messenger 🤓

Here they are listed in the order of how I first played the routes <3

Jaehee: Geo bow! She'd be very polite and defensive in her combat style; maybe an off-field support? Her signature drink would obviously be a little latte. Maybe her passive has to do with buffing certain albino actors.

Zen: Hydro polearm. This one was tough and I had to talk to my friend about it a little bit, but I think hydro polearm would suit him best. Graceful, allowing him to use his whole body in combat. He'd be a hypercarry DPS and he'd have a tiny sneeze voice line for when you walk near kitties.

Yoosung: Anemo catalyst. I had an idea that he could have a "game controller" as a weapon, using it to control his attacks from a step back. As much as I know he would love to be a huge claymore wielding knight in shining armor, I'm just being realistic.

Jumin: Cryo sword. Jumin can be confrontational at times and maybe a bit rude, but I think he would be a very meta off-field DPS. He'd have a very princely fighting style, sort of like Albedo's auto attacks. You guys are so lucky I can't draw, you don't know how bad I want to see Genshin Jumin now... I had to pause to daydream for a minute.

Saeyoung: Electro polearm. This one I was a little biased on, because electro is my favorite element and I project onto this loser so much, BUT I genuinely think it would fit him. He could make little gadgets to help him fight or maybe a cat robot... It's hard for me to decide if he'd be more defensive or offensive, because I could definitely see both.

V: Anemo bow. V would not want to get up close and personal when it comes to a fight. As my friend perfectly worded it, "anemo would be great because of how much he blows everyone off." He is flighty, sneaky, dare I say cowardly at times (cough, most the time). He would love a bow; something he could use from far away and behind an enemies back. I think he would definitely have some sort of martyr style ability, like a loss in his HP would boost his own attack or something.

Saeran: Dendro catalyst. Similarly to how Childe switches weapons in his skill, Saeran could switch (Ray and Saeran). He could have a catalyst style flowery attack mode, where the dendro "poison" leeches from the enemy, but also he could switch to a polearm! In this mode, its more offensive and thorny. While I completely agree with this headcanon, it is not at all my own! My dear friend Breezy came up with this idea and I loved it so much, it became canon to me.

Rika: Cryo catalyst. Rika, like Saeyoung, could absolutely be both offensive and defensive in combat, but I enjoy the idea of her being a dependable support unit. Maybe with a shield of some kind? She'd have the prettiest move set, really angelic.

Vanderwood: I almost forgot Vandy oh my goodness, forgive me. Pyro claymore! I think he’d have some kind of sexy combat style using smoke and he’d work perfectly with Saeyoung, of course. Overload VanderSeven. Something off-field and “undercover”, but he’d hit really hard. Maybe a burst DPS with support capabilities! He’d have like four voice lines about Saeyoung and they’d get progressively more exhausted yet charmed… Love you Vandy

Again, these are all just my (and my good friend's) opinions and fun headcanons. If you would be interested in full summaries of their kits I have headcanoned, I would love to share in more detail :D Thank you for reading!

[mc-and-elise]

SE Saeran around someone he likes? Shy, 'i-it's not like I wanna hold your hand! You'd g-get lost if I don't hold onto you!' or 'I got you some flowers. No, it's not because I like you! I j-just thought your house needed some color!' vibes. At least at first, once he finally acknowledges his feelings he'd become kinda lovey-dovey in private. He isn’t used to people wanting to be around him, and those who he thought had wanted to had betrayed him in the past. Plus, he’s still trying to understand who he is, so understanding other people is too much for him. Once you get through that outer shell, he’s a bit more gentle, less stand-offish.

He isn’t comfortable showing a bunch of affection in public. You’ll get some hand holding, sitting closer to him than most people, maybe a kiss on the head. In private? He’s sitting back to back with you, reading or sketching while you do whatever beside him. He’s more open to being touched when alone, and this boy is touch starved but denies it so much. You can play with his hair, trace your fingers on his skin, cuddle him- Saeran loves it. Very few people are allowed to touch him at all, so consider yourself lucky to be one of them.

Vanderwood around someone they like? Denial. A bit of a tsundere as well. If they get upset with you doing something risky or if you get hurt, it’s less that they’re mad at you and more that they’re angry at themself. They want to protect you, how could they let you get hurt! You thought Seven was bad when he tried pushing you away during his route? Vanderwood is worse. The more they realize they love you, the more they deny and try to push you away. They think they don’t deserve happiness- their soul is so tainted and their hands covered in blood that they think seeing you happy with someone else is what you deserve, what they deserve.

If you get through the walls they have up, especially following the SE or AS endings, they still retain some of their tsundere-ness, but are a lot more affectionate. Similar to the twins, they’re very touch starved. Expect to have them holding you in their arms a lot. You’re also like the only person who can touch their hair or jacket- for the longest time, the only things they had control over was their hair and clothes, so being allowed to braid their hair or wear his jacket means a lot. Vanderwood is very domestic once he settles down, but you’re allowed to help them cook.

🎃 trick or treat! with the rfa and gojo 🎃

Jumin:

What an intriguing cat lover. While he may seem quite prim and proper, considering he is almost a textbook ISTJ in MBTI (ignoring his cat adorations), it seems quite unlikely that Jumin has yet to celebrate Halloween.

This is exactly why Gojo is here to help break Jumin out of his reclusive shell! At first, it was cat ears, and then it was a cat tail before it ended up being an entire cat costume! 

Gojo, who dressed up as a cat, made Jumin immediately fall in love with the concept of Halloween

In fact, he decided to make his company throw a cat-themed Halloween event just for this

Cat-themed haunted house, cat-themed candy products, cats in the building (for once!) It was all thanks to Gojo’s kitty scheme that the two were finally able to Trick and Treat together

This allowed Gojo and Jumin to celebrate Jumin’s first Halloween together, as the two went trick or treating across various company buildings that Jumin is affiliated with

As Jumin still didn’t understand the rules of Halloween, after he would receive candy from the poor office workers working overtime on this spooky night, Jumin would instead pay them with a hefty stack of cash (meaning that they would have no complaints on this Halloween)

Gojo dressed up as a white cat, while Jumin was dressed up as a vampire with cat ears. This was the closest Jumin could get to a cat cosplay without ruining his company’s image, which was to his dismay

Jumin would be sure to dress up as a cat next Halloween

PS. Elizabeth was also dressed up as a vampire. She had a designer cloak on designed by the most expensive designer

Zen, 707, and Yoosung:

It was 707 and Zen who arranged to meet with Yoosung. The poor college student was heavily overwhelmed with schoolwork, which meant the best way to escape from school was to go trick-or-treating! 

Of course, Yoosung was initially opposed to this, as LOLOL had a limited-edition Halloween event going on! But 707’s bribery with the rare Honey Buddha Chips allowed Yoosung to miss out on the LOLOL event happily

Zen himself had finished a Halloween musical earlier in the day, which meant he was incredibly happy to extend his energy (and to just brag about his musical performance)

Yoosung and Zen decided to match costumes, as they both dressed up as werewolves (well in Yoosung’s case it was more like a puppy…) 

On the other hand, 707 dressed up as Elly, which was much to Zen’s dismay. This already caused him to sneeze out loud

Zen’s sneezing instantly escalated the second 707 decided to go to C&R’s Haunted House. There, the trio ran into Gojo and Jumin (which meant instant coughs! ugh….) who were both cat-adjacent

In fact, Gojo and 707 had the exact SAME cat costume, much to each other's dismay.

Gojo and 707 kept bickering, while Jumin and Zen also decided to have an argument of their own

“Of course a rich kid like you would do this… ACHOO…!” Zen would attempt to argue, but the cat-themed building (and Gojo and 707 + Jumin’s costumes) was enough to make Zen convince himself that there were real cats in the building

It was then that the five decided to explore the haunted house to see. Gojo and 707 decided to bet who would be the first to get scared

And to no one’s surprise, it was Yoosung who was the first to want to go home

Jaehee:

Jaehee, by sheer luck, had a “day off”. This was her well-deserved break before her real “trick” began

As a “treat” for herself, Jaehee miraculously managed to secure tickets to Zen’s Halloween musical. It was the best treat anyone could ever ask for

In fact, she even managed to secure a signed Halloween Zen poster, which made her fan heart overjoyed

This happy event was soon shattered as she was called in for the C&R Halloween event, one that she had strongly argued against working for

What a trick! But of course, Jaehee, as an employee of C&R International, was forced to wear cat ears to celebrate the event 

“We match, nya~!” Jaehee was greeted by 707 just after the RFA + Gojo managed to finish the Haunted House event

“Jaeheeeeeeee! That was so scary T__T” Yoosung cried out to her, which led to her sighing

But of course, this was simply another work day for her, no matter how late the shift was

Lucky for Jaehee, she would also be one of the many workers to receive a hefty bonus on this meowy Halloween

Gojo:

He got here by accident after a Halloween-themed domain expansion was activated

Since Gojo is clearly the strongest, he could definitely kill a few extra minutes in this domain

Plus, it definitely didn't hurt to have a good time with the RFA along the way, right?

Trick? or Treat? Gojo would be sure to deliver both to you!

Omg I can finally talk to somebody about my love for mysme g/t!!! Anyways, I had a dream one time that I was a borrower living in Seven's bunker, but I woke up the moment I got discovered. I would've loved to continue that dream, though. So what do you think would happen after Seven discovers a borrower?

SORRY THIS TOOK MONTHS TO RESPOND TO, I DON'T REALLY HAVE A REASON OR EXCUSE BEHIND IT KHNGJH

This is a very good question though, because I can see it going in a few different ways. Let me see if I can sort them out coherently (no promises)

Discovering a borrower in his house would be alarming. Not only because holy shit a tiny person , but also because of his line of work. Who knows who this person is or if they're working for anyone.

I can imagine Luciel and the borrower holding eye contact for an extended period of time, both either running through what they could do about this situation in their heads or their minds going completely blank. As the trope goes, the tiny would make the first move. Trying to run, using the mess that is 707's house to make their escape, but unfortunately the redhead would be more than capable of cornering them and/or grabbing them in his hands.

Holding this person in an iron-fist, he'd probably look the borrower over inquisitively, trying to sus them out.. but, assuming they(or, I suppose, you in this case) are innocent, he wouldn't be able to find anything suspicious.

This would call for heavy silence, the borrower frozen in fear or struggling, and Seven keeping a firm grip while waiting for them (and himself) to calm down.

Then you'd get a very awkward conversational exchange, introducing names, asking what the borrower is doing there.. but if they plan to stay, Seven would either set down ground rules or completely deny them (he can't risk anything regarding his work getting out, even if you do seem innocent).

Regardless, there's potential for them(or the both of you) to bond, it would just take time! And I can easily see angst in the future of this concept too.

(small bonus)

But, but but but! If he finds a borrower at someone else's house or on the streets, that's a bit of a different story. Less anxiety-fueled accidental aggression, I'd say. Probably just curiosity?? Following them/chasing them, being his goofy self upon introductions... YEA!

Sorry if this isn't to your satisfaction, I'm relatively new to posting/doing G/T stories/concepts

Headcanon that Jumin is actually great at driving, he just happens to prefer crashing spectacularly over actually arriving so he's not allowed to drive anymore since it's too expensive to buy cars as often as catfood.

Unknown has a complicated relationship with sleep. 

He's always tired, but he never wants to admit that he needs to sleep. If you try to explain to him that everybody has to sleep at some point, he’ll only get annoyed with you. Who do you think you are to tell him what he needs? The way he sees it, he’s basically a machine anyway, so shouldn’t he at least get the benefits associated with a mechanical existence? But instead, every few days, his body forces him to sleep until his nightmares wake him up. 

He tries to stave it off as long as he can with caffeine, sugar, and cold showers. Sometimes, he’ll ask you to wake him up if he falls asleep in front of his computer— he’s never pleased about it when you refuse, but he also never retaliates. He doesn’t have the energy, and besides— at least he knows that you won’t hurt him or take advantage of his vulnerable state even when he tells you to.

Eventually, though, he has to sleep. He doesn’t like the thought of leaving you alone in the intelligence room when he’s unconscious elsewhere— what if some believer comes in and you say something misguided that makes you wind up in the basement? What if the Savior comes by and decides to question you about Unknown’s inactivity? There are simply too many variables to account for. The easiest solution, of course, is to sleep when you sleep, although it goes without saying that he'll be waking up before you. In Unknown's opinion, you spend far too long just laying there and nowhere near enough time helping him with his revenge.

You try to baby him even on his good nights. You bring him the best, most filling dinners you can throw together with the ingredients in the kitchen; these are usually accompanied by hot beverages to counteract the biting cold of the intelligence room. You’re about the only person (aside from the Savior, of course) from whom he would accept a mysterious drink, but Unknown has to admit that he enjoys the sweet vanilla chamomile that you always serve him. Though his rational mind knows that he can’t afford to take long breaks from his work, his body is soothed by the tea. 

If he’s exhausted enough, Unknown might agree to lay down with his head in your lap and let you play with his hair as he falls asleep. It’s easy for him to spin this position as a power move— obviously, you’re giving him this attention because like him, right? You wouldn't do anything like this for any of those bastards in the RFA. You’re trying to show him affection, to thank him for saving you— Unknown can allow that. Besides, it feels nice, and isn't he allowed to enjoy simple pleasures like this in between finishing his work? It's basically the same thing as eating ice cream or sending cryptic texts in hacked RFA chatrooms.

He likes falling asleep to the sound of your voice. You can even lull him back to sleep after he’s woken up from a nightmare, if you play your cards right. Tell him how good he is while you pet his hair, but don’t you dare breathe a word to him about it when he wakes up in the morning (or, more likely, in the middle of the night). After the fact, he feels a lot less powerful and a lot more pathetic, especially if there was a nightmare involved. The thought of whimpering and whining at you when he wasn’t awake enough to stop himself makes Unknown feel a little sick. Secretly, he's grateful for both your care and your discretion, though you'd never get him to admit it aloud.

He doesn’t want to want any kind of comfort, but the more time he spends with you, the less frequently he refuses when you offer. You might even be able to get him to let you read to him— entertainment as a concept is entirely foreign to Unknown, so it’ll take him a while to figure out what kind of stories he likes to hear. Really, what he likes best is the sound of your voice and the fact that you actually listen when he expresses a boundary or a preference. If you ask very nicely and you’re very lucky, he’ll even let you kiss him on the forehead as he drifts off into dreamland. 

Even if he still only gets a few hours of sleep each night, at least he’s resting better than he was before you came to him.

Nino is Luka Theory? No. Nino is 707 from Mystic Messenger and Sans from Undertale Theory

This post was brought to you by a discord DM joking that Jumin is Gabriel and Jaehee is Nathalie

[mc-and-elise]

Saeyoung would totally make a IRL Baymax. Full size too.

[mammonscheeks]

om! older brothers reacting to mc playing mystic messenger

✎ includes: lucifer, mammon, leviathan

✎ warnings: none

"I've missed my bed..." you mumble, flopping onto your mattress in the HoL. You pull out your phone, opening your favorite otome game: Mystic Messenger.

You had endured a long day at RAD, full of making excuses for slipping out of your classes. You couldn't help it: to get a good ending in Mystic Messenger, you had to complete a certain percentage of the daily chatrooms. So, whenever you heard that familiar 'ping' notification, you would excuse yourself and stalk off to the nearest bathroom, closet, or any place where you could be alone.

With all of your classes and chores done, you could finally laze around in bed, playing at your own leisure without the threat of a professor or classmate looming over your shoulder. That was, until a knock rang at your door, prompting the entrance of a certain demon.

LUCIFER stood in the doorway cautiously, entering your room just as you clicked on a chat room with 707.

"MC, I'm here to get that classical vinyl I left here last night- oh... am I interrupting something?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at the amount of text messages appearing on your phone screen.

"Oh, no! Come in," you wave the demon over. Despite Lucifer's otherwise sophisticated nature, he couldn't help but sneak a peek at your phone, which was conveniently held in his field of vision.... Only to see 707 taking up the whole chat room, spamming text messages and emoticons at lightning speed.

"MC, who is that? he texts like Mammon," Lucifer scoffed with disgust. "are you... dating someone?"

"It's a character in a game, Lucifer!" you smiled, staring at your phone screen. "don't worry about it."

"Oh." Lucifer stated curtly. his hand subconsciously slid over his chest, as he felt a surge of blood pumping through his veins.

A game? I feel relieved that another demon, angel, or even that human solomon hasn't beaten me to MC's affection... but still...!

You felt a soft hand on your cheek. Tearing your eyes away from the screen, you found your face inches away from Lucifer's blood-red eyes, which were staring deep into your soul.

"Remember, MC... You belong to me. No one else... Game or otherwise." His sweet voice dripped onto your tongue like honey.

MAMMON bounded into your room for no reason, as per usual. It had become customary at this point for him to come over, sit on your bed, and simply chill with you almost every day.

"MC, you've been on your phone all day, who are you talking to that's not me?" Mammon pouted, laying on the bed next to you, dramatically splaying his arms out for your attention.

"Mammon, don't be an attention whore," You joked. "There's no need to be jealous."

"Hey, don't go around calling me jealous! I don't get jealous!" Mammon protested.

He suddenly froze when he saw what looked like an incoming call on your phone screen... From somebody named 'Jumin Han.' You accepted the call before Mammon unexpectedly threw himself across your lap.

"WHO'S JUMIN HAN?" He yelled, basically tackling you.

"HeYY! Get off me!" You shoved the demon, but to no avail. After a short power struggle for your phone, he finally grabbed it and yelled into the receiver.

"WHO ARE YOU? STOP CALLING MY HUMAN!"

"I just closed a deal with an oil company in the middle east... the life of a future CEO is always busy," the game character, Jumin stated in his cold tone.

"Ugh, even his cold way of speaking reminds me of Lucifer!" Mammon groaned. "Wait... A future CEO? So... What I'm hearing is that he's rich?"

"Get off me, Mammon!" You groaned. "It's just a game!"

"Hey, Jumin Han! I don't care who you are, or how powerful your credit card is. MC is MY HUMAN, ya hear?!"

LEVIATHAN knocks on your door before entering, his Nintendo Switch console in hand.

"MC, don't tell me you forgot about our MarioKart tournament today! Levi sighed.

"Nope, I haven't-- I just have to finish this chat really quick," you said, waving Leviathan over to your bed.

The purple-haired boy blushed, but complied with your request. As he sat next to you, the bed dipped slightly from his weight, and you smiled at your phone screen, scooting close to Leviathan to fill in the awkward space and get more cozy. However, Levi's embarrassed attitude vanished entirely as he glanced at your phone.

"Ooh, is that Mystic Messenger? I love that game!" Leviathan gushed.

"You... You've played it?" You asked, looking at him with wide eyes.

"Of course! I've played every single route and unlocked most of the DLC!" He grinned proudly. "But, MC... Don't get too attached to that app, alright?"

You looked at Levi, whose face was red as he refused to make eye contact with you.

"Don't be jealous, Leviathan. You know that I love talking to you all day, every day."

"H-Hey, that's not what I meant! But you're right! I'll always be here for you, unlike them!"

The two of you spend the rest of the night talking about your experiences with the game, its backstory, and other fandoms that the both of you are in together.

The boys from Mystic Messenger would never treat me like this.

[itsdrawingmen]

We need to talk about Zen.

Every character in Mystic Messenger is a tragic one, and the Casual Story trio is often disregarded in that respect. But there is one character for whom I’ve hardly seen it explored at all. Maybe it’s because his route sucks such major ass, or because he’s honestly a bit of an asshole, misogynistic, homophobic, and ableist; or maybe it’s because his trauma is only briefly, fleetingly mentioned, as he and his friends refer to it, and then quickly brush it aside.

Zen Ryu, beautiful, stupid, and self-absorbed, is, on the surface, a perfect comic relief character, a beloved himbo, brash but well-intentioned. And I think this wonderful actor has been playing that role so well that he has fooled everyone, including the fandom.

Some character exploration and the uncropped art under the cut.

It’s no secret that Zen’s selfishness is nothing but a coping mechanism, masking a deep-set fear of inadequacy and paralysing self-doubt. It’s stated explicitly by Ray in Another Story, and it’s pretty evident from the way Zen is quick to worry there’s nothing more to him than his looks.

It’s obvious where he got it, considering how his mother treated him and his passions, and how his brother turned his back on him when he needed him the most. But there are more things I haven’t seen discussed anywhere, and I have a lot of thoughts and headcanons, and simply questions, so let’s start from the very beginning.

It’s made very clear in Zen’s route that his early life was… well, horrible. As early as kindergarten, he started getting singled out for his looks. Strangers kept staring at him and wanting to touch him, which bothered his mother.

Instead of getting on their child’s side, little Hyun’s parents tried to convince him he was ugly, to ‘humble’ him. It’s said that they just wanted him to be successful and to have a stable, secure life. Well, good intentions pave the road to hell, as it’s said. What they got as a result was a child who was harassed and stalked at school and in the streets with no one to confide in but his brother, who didn’t explicitly dismiss it, but still made light of it.

A little interesting point:

Make a note here of the ‘protection’ line, because I will get back to it later.

Anyway, whatever small support and understanding little Hyun’s brother provided him with, it wasn’t meant to last. Zen states that their parents treated them so differently they effectively separated them.

When he entered middle school and found passion for music, what his mother saw was her son turning to a precarious road and basically undermining his future. When she tried to convince him his dreams were stupid, Hyun’s brother took her side, leaving Hyun without the last person in his family who supported him. So little Hyun ran away from home, and thus began the story of Zen.

And here is where things get interesting. Zen left home when he was in middle school. A middle schooler in South Korea is anywhere between 12 and 15 years old. And a person living on their own must eat something and sleep somewhere. But here’s the catch: you can only rent if you are at least 19 (I’m assuming, Korean-19, so 18), and you can technically work part-time jobs starting at 13, but you need parental permission for that. And for any full-time job you must be 18. And this is the first big question with no easy answer: how did little Hyun survive after he left home? Where did he live, and what did he eat?

We can assume that for a while, he stayed with his friends, whom he for some reason tried to hide from his parents.

However, it would have been problematic for him to make it a long-term arrangement. If his friends were teenagers like him, their parents would be likely to tell his family where he was so that they would come collect their son. And if the friends were older and employed, it’s doubtful they would be well off enough to host a dependent long-term, unless there was something sinister going on. So the question remains: where did he live and what did he eat?

He mentions part-time jobs and extortion as sources of income, he worked night shifts to make ends meet, and there are also the mysterious 'bad things' that we will get back to later. But there are more variables here than just money.

Well, as far as I can tell, the answer to that is right here:

And now, I want you to stop for a moment and think about what this implies.

A child in his early teens (I like to assume 13-14), and a very pretty child at that, with a history of harassment that was never addressed, let alone stopped, finds himself on the street (at this point, we can presume: homeless and hungry). And he catches the eye of gangsters. Perhaps it’s my fresh experience watching ‘Banana Fish’ speaking (definitely not, I've had this conviction basically since I saw 'bad things' mentioned), but I want to really ask you: what do you think gangsters are likely to do with a beautiful and vulnerable young boy, besides use him for petty crimes Zen admits on the screens above? What 'bad things' could he have been forced to do to survive?

This admission by Zen himself doesn’t help my train of thoughts at all:

Of course, this is said in the context of exploitation at work, but given the gangs and the ‘bad things’, one can’t help but draw a connection.

Besides, this is where that screen I told you to take note of comes into play. Zen says that after middle school, he understood what his parents were trying to protect him from, essentially what dangers being pretty entailed. It couldn’t have been the usual harassment that he had been facing since kindergarten, he would have understood that by then. Another interesting point is that for someone with a gangster past, Zen is suspiciously gender nonconforming in his looks, and mellow in general demeanour. Yes, he’s rough around the edges, he’s homophobic, misogynistic, and foul-mouthed, but he isn’t really violent. Someone who used to fit in with gangs, especially as a youth, I would think, looks and acts differently. And this all takes me to a very grim conclusion: I firmly don’t believe that a good-looking and vulnerable child with no support network and with a history of harassment survived in gangs without being molested or sexually exploited once.

But let’s not delve into my headcanons and continue with the facts we have. These bits and pieces that come together to form a picture of Zen’s teenage years already paint a pretty morbid picture. But he made it big, became an actor, and left it all behind, and he’s happy in the canon timeline, right? Right?!

Wrong.

The most obvious thing is the contents of Zen’s fridge, which Jaehee points out when she goes to see him.

It’s referenced many times in the game, Zen lightheartedly says he often skips meals and in general eats pretty badly, and I think even V refers to it. And it’s easy to chalk it up to his insane diets and the expectations of his body and looks that he has to maintain to stay in the industry. Or, if you are a little like me and like to assume the worst, you can also attribute it to Zen’s borderline self-harming workaholism. But I think there’s a little bit more to it, and the key to it is actually where Zen lives.

I remember being a little confused as to why everyone was surprised that Zen lived in a semi-basement.

But I didn’t give it much thought, after all, semi-basements seem to be cheaper here as well, and Zen’s flat looked pretty nice on CGs (if extremely beige). And it wasn’t until recently when I was talking to a colleague about his friend sharing her experience in Korea that I learned that semi-basements were actually a signature dwelling of the poorest, and seemingly a clearly understandable trope for a Korean. Those semi-basement apartments are often at risk of flooding, which is apparently a well-known fact, and also why they’re supposed to be banned as residential quarters. And, of course, Zen is quick to tell everyone he likes that place with poor ventilation and little sunlight, because it’s Zen, after all. He has that working class mentality because he’s cool, and he likes underground apartments and old tech.

But it seems that the picture of his present life is also pretty grim. Now, I’m not in South Korea, and I know little about how theatre actors are paid there, but I can tell you what I know from several actor/actress friends here in Ukraine: theatre actors aren’t, unfortunately, paid shit. Even the ones you recognise and talk about, working in cool popular theatres, drop over half of their salary to rent a shitty apartment, and are left wondering what they’re going to eat. So it seems pretty likely to me that Zen’s empty fridge, old computer and mp3 player, daily subway commute, and semi-basement apartment all point to one simple fact: he’s simply poor.

And to make it worse, he seems to be extremely lonely.

I’m pretty sure he also mentions isolating himself when he’s feeling bad, but I can’t seem to find screenshots for that anywhere.

All that said, when the fandom looks at Zen, they see a self-absorbed himbo, the ‘don’t kill yourself you so sexy aha’ type of guy. And he is, and I think he’s hilarious, and I’m the first one to laugh at him tbh. But when I look at him for a little longer than a second, I see a young man who has been harassed to hell and back starting as early as kindergarten, who never graduated from school, who ran away from home in his early teens, worked multiple jobs, and still had to resort to crime to make ends meet. I see a young man who was once a vulnerable teen at the mercy of gangsters, who had to learn that all help comes with strings attached. And I see a young man struggling silently with poverty while maintaining a facade of a glamorous and charming actor.

And I think the charming actor has fooled everyone.

[password-door-lock]

My job has been putting me through hell lately, so I’ve been thinking a lot about how Saeran might comfort you after you’ve had a rough day at work.

There are two possible universes where you’d be around Ray and still be working. The first option is the prologue bad end timeline where you’re his assistant. In that case, if you start to get tired or frustrated with your workload, Ray will probably just take over for you and do the work himself. He doesn’t like to see you struggling, and he’s already accustomed to finishing his tasks without any help. He’ll make sure you have something good to eat and somewhere comfortable to rest while he takes care of everything. The other option is after V’s AE, in which case Ray would be a little bit unsure of how to comfort you after a long day. He’s worried about hurting you: he doesn’t want to be too overbearing, but he also doesn’t want to make you feel isolated by giving you too much distance. He’ll probably end up directly asking you what he can do to help you unwind, and then he’ll follow through with it as best he can. He wants to learn as much as he can about what makes you feel better. Please don’t hesitate to ask him for what you want! 

Similar to Ray, Suit would wind up in this situation in one of two ways. If you’re his assistant and you complain about the work, he’ll be quick to just send you away. Unlike Ray, he’s not a patient person, and he has no interest in taking the time to teach you something he could do twice as quickly on his own. Suit wouldn’t go out of his way to coddle you, but he probably wouldn’t stop you if you went to get a snack or something— after all, he’s not playing with you right now, so he doesn’t care where you are or what you’re doing. He has twice as much important work to do now, so you should stay out of his way and let him get it done. VAE Suit, on the other hand, might be at a loss for how to comfort you. He may assume that you’d rather be with Ray when you’ve had a bad day. But actually, Saeran is a great person to vent to. He likes seeing you get animated, and he's comfortable enough with you to offer his own snide remarks, as well. He’ll have a pretty good time listening to you complaining about your coworkers, especially if there’s a trip to the ice cream shop involved. You’ll both be cheered up by the experience, although you probably shouldn’t expect him to get all mushy about it.

GE Saeran is much more self assured in how he comforts you. He’ll make sure that there’s a nice bath waiting for you when you come home. Either he’d join you and order takeout after or he’d cook some dinner for you while you enjoy a nice, relaxing soak on your own. He won’t let you do any dishes or other chores around the house until you’ve had at least a little rest, and even then, he’ll be extra attentive to your needs. In the morning, he’ll get up early and make sure that you get a good breakfast before work. Saeran knows you very well by now, so he’s familiar with your favorite things— expect a few of them to come your way in the near future, especially if your troubles at work are prolonged. He’s here for you if you want to vent— Saeran is a very attentive listener— but if you just want to take your mind off things, he can handle that, too. If the extra attention ever makes you feel guilty for taking more than you give, he’ll be quick to remind you that you’ve done the same for him countless times, and right now it’s his turn to look after you. 

If you’re Unknown’s assistant, then he is your stressful day at work. He’s not going to comfort you and he’s not going to pick up your slack like Ray or Suit— he knows what you’re capable of and if he gives you an assignment to complete, then he expects you to complete it. If you’ve caught him in a particularly good mood, you might get a few patronizing words, a pat on the head, and a direct order to finish your work, now, prince(ss). If he’s having a bad day, Unknown might not even dignify your complaints with a response. You already know what his expectations are, after all. However, if you’re not his assistant yet, you might be able to get Unknown’s attention by texting him some RFA secrets or other quality information. In exchange, he’ll let you call him and complain about your job for a bit, and then he’ll coo at you and promise to save you before abruptly hanging up. The conversation will be a nice break for both of you, but eventually, you’ll both have to return to your respective work. 

SE Saeran has no idea how to help you when you complain about your job. He feels like it’s weird of you to come to him when you have the whole RFA at your disposal, but he won’t say anything about it. He’s glad that he can be someone you trust, even if he doesn’t understand why. Saeran will sit with you for as long as you need while you vent about your work if that’s what you’d like— but he won’t judge you if you just want to quietly relax for a while. He’ll put on some music or a nature documentary and the two of you can rest together for as long as you need. His method of giving comfort is very subtle, but that’s nice after a hectic day. He’s somebody you can take your mask off around, and he knows what it feels like to be overworked. He might be a little bit blunt about telling you what he thinks about the way your colleagues and clients/customers treat you, but he won’t press too much: after all, he knows that it’s not always easy or possible to immediately leave a difficult situation.

I love seven and I love girls so
