Mystic Messenger crew helping comfort MC after the loss of their older sister? MC was really close to their sister, even though their sister was six years older than them, and considered them their best friend. Thank you so much for considering! ;w;

ouch...this really hits close to home bc i also have a sister 6 years older than me, and we’re very close friends, i can’t imagine how horrible the loss of such a loved one must be. i hope you’re not experiencing anything like that, and if you do then im greatly sorry for your loss 

i hope these headcanons could cheer you up a little!

YOOSUNG:

*Even though he also has a sister, he doesn't really have the bond MC and their sister do-he loves her, definitely, but they're not nearly as close.

* He does however know what it’s like to lose a family member you hold so dear to you-he did lose Rika after all, and the pain of that loss is something he doesn’t think he can ever completely get over

* He was actually very eager to meet MC’s sister, as he constantly heard stories of her shenanigans with MC

* Only he never gets the chance to

* The news of their sister passing leaves MC devastated, and he finds them after coming home from work sitting on the couch crying, their head hidden in their palms

* He’s immediatly besides MC, cradling them in his arms as he comforts them

* When he finds out what happened, he’s just as shocked and upset, knowing how much their sister meant to them-

* He’s at a loss of words, because what can one say at a tragedy like this? 

* What he does say however, is what he knows to be the truth, what MC’s sister would probably want them to know as well.

* “MC, my love, please, please don’t cry. What happened it’s horrible, it really is, but your sister loved you so much, she’d hate the thought of you crying like this. Let’s try and keep the happier memories of her alive, for both your and her sake, okay?”

* He’s there for MC through it all-the funeral, the grieving process, the sleepless nights, everything

* He simply wants to see the one he loves happy again, no matter what it takes.

ZEN:

* He has an older brother he was close to, but even so he can’t imagine the pain MC must be going through-he was never as close to his brother as MC was to their sister.

* He’d heard stories about their childhood, had even met MC’s sister and saw how close the two were, a bond even thicker than blood-they chose to be as good friends as they were, and it warmed Zen’s heart to see his beloved SO this happy.

* The news of her passing saddened him a lot as well, but he kept his composure as much as possible, tried to keep his voice steady and his embrace around MC firm as he comforted them

* He’d drop everything going on in his job to accompany MC to the funeral and stay home with them as long as they needed to recover even a little

* He’ll stay up late with them on the roof, sharing a drink and even an occasional cigarette if it’ll help take the edge off, but only within limits-he’d never allow MC to develop bad habits because of their grief, knowing this is the last thing their sister would want, and the last thing he’d want for his love as well.

* Instead, if MC’s comfortable with it, he’ll urge them to tell him happy stories from their childhood, things that can help MC remember the good times they shared with their sister and keep them close to their heart

* He’ll be there for MC through thick and thin, and will help threm through their grief as long as it takes

JUMIN:

* To Jumin, family is everything. Familial bonds are thicker than any other, he believes, and is happy to see MC is just as close with their family too.

* He’s also an only child and hasn’t had the chance to experience what having siblings is like, but if it’s anything like the bond MC shares with their sister, than he knows he certaintly missed out on a lot of experiences.

* When he hears about the passing of MC’s sister, he’s shocked and upset, but is quick to regain his composure and rush to MC’s side-he can’t begin to imagine the pain they must be feeling

* He cancels everything to stay with MC, hold them through it all and provide words of comfort

* He’s very unsure of what to do, and will have to ask MC what he can do to help-just say the word and this man will do it, he’ll move the moon and stars if MC so much as asks him to

* He’ll hold them close to his chest and rub circles on their back as they cry, will bury his nose on the crown of their head and kiss them, promising to be there for them through it all

* He won’t pressure MC to talk about it if they don’t want to-he’ll simply sit with them in silence, allowing them to process their emotions and discuss them if and when they’re ready to.

* He’s not going anywhere.

JAEHEE:

* She’s experienced so much loss in her life, and knows exactly what it’s like to lose a family member, especially one so close to you.

* When she hears of MC’s sister’s passing, she can’t say she’s certain what to do-she knows that grief and the pain of it are different for everyone, and while she can’t empathise, it doesn’t mean she can be certain what MC is feeling right then

* She will however subtly show her support-she’ll hold MC when they cry, will wipe away their tears and brew warm tea for them as she sits by their side quietly

* If MC needs a distraction, she’ll put on a musical for them to watch, or will even sing for them, her voice soft and shaky but her grip on MC’s hand firm, showing her support through their interlocked fingers

* She’ll be there for MC through it all, and will be the pillar they need during this time.

SEVEN:

* Saeyoung is also an old friend with loss and grief-he’s been through it time and time again, so much so that he’s afraid he’s become desensitised to it, especially considering his field of work

* That doesn’t mean however that he doesn’t understand why MC is as upset and grief-stricken as they are when they learn of their sister’s passing-of course he understands, and it pains him so much to see his beloved in such a predicament

* He’s honestly unsure of how to comfort them-he doesn’t want to tell them empty reassurances, doesn’t want to hurt them further by accident

* Instead he’ll hold them in a tight embrace, run his hands through their hair and let them cry on his shoulder

* He’ll be quiet, oddly enough so for him, his joking persona left aside for now as he lets MC process their emotions

* If MC wants, he’ll distract them with memes and crappy films, or will take them for drives with his cars, taking them to isolated destinations in forests or by lakes where he’ll lay on the hood of the car with MC, their head laying on his chest as they talk about everything and anything

* If MC would prefer he talks instead so they can distract their mind from their thoughts, he’ll tell them stories of his and Saeran’s childhood-he’ll try to skim through his memories and look for good, fun moments he can share, ones that can bring a smile to both their lips

* He might be uncertain of how to help, but he’ll be damned if he doesn’t do his best to see MC’s bright smile once more

V/JIHYUN:

* He’s also well-acquainted with grief and pain, from the loss of his mother, to the loss of Rika and so on and so forth

* He’s devastated to see MC’s tear-striken face, and is shocked to hear the news-he’s heard such wonderful things about MC’s sister, and was so glad MC had such a loved family member

* He’ll hold them through it all, his hand interlocked with MC’s throughout the funeral, will stay up late with them and hold them in his arms as they talk

* Even if MC isn’t religious, he’ll take them with him to church, at a time he knows it’ll be as empty as can be-not to pray, not necessarily, but to find some solace in the quietness, allow them to process their thoughts and feelings and let their emotions out in a place where no one is allowed to judge them

* If MC asks him to, he’ll share his own experiences with grief-how he handled his mother’s passing, how people around him reacted, and so on. It’s bittersweet, to be talking about his mother again after so long, but he knows it’s a wound that’s healed-it’s left a scar, of course it has, but it’s as healed as a wound can be, and one that’s okay to poke at, especially if it’s something that could help MC process their own grief.

* He’s not a man of many words, but what he says he means. And when he kisses MC and promises them that everything will be okay, he meant is. Maybe not perfect, not back to how they used to be-no one can return to the past, no matter how much they wish to after all. So things might not be great. But they’ll be okay. And he’ll be there with them until it does.

I hope this was okay!

Reset

Every time MC reset, the RFA knew.

Each time the same, with the same timeline, same words, and same feelings.

But this time was different. After MC reset, they never logged back on.

The RFA continued their lives: Yoosung taking classes more serious, 707 taking on more work, Jaehee divulging more into her work and hobby, Jumin taking more cat projects and meetings, and Zen taking more roles.

--

Yoosung☆ entered the chatroom.

"GUYS!" the alert from the now rarely used chatroom lit everyone's phone.

Yoosung☆: MC IS AT SKY UNIVERSITY! I HAVE A CKSDD WITH THEN!

707: typo!

Jaehee: are they well?

Zen: did you talk to them?

Jumin: How can we be sure it's MC?

Yoosung☆: Believe me. It's MC. I would recognize MC anywhere. Don't believe me, here look at this.

And they did.

It was MC. MC was laughing with some guy, moving their hands as they talked. MC looked the same, except for a scar that stopped at that left eye.

Zen: Who is that lowlife with MC?

707: what happened to their eye?

Yoosung☆: From the introductions, MC had an accident and went back to their home country. They returned to study abroad for the year. That guy is MC's host brother. They're staying at his family's house.

707: WUAH! MC was hit by a car. That's why they stopped talking to us... I thought ...

Jaehee: I thought MC wanted to move on.

Jumin: 707 what did you find?

707: ... MCs memory has been altered. MC doesn't remember anything before the accident. Not even her family. I didn't want to look, but yeah.

Zen: you knew?!

707: Not for certain. I respect MCs privacy, but I installed a notice for MCs face in the street cameras. It pinged a few days ago. I didn't want to say anything until I looked into it.

Yoosung☆: Oh CLASS is about to start! I got a seat behind MC! Message later, bye

Yoosung☆ left the chatroom.

--

Then the wait came for updates on MC by Yoonsung.

It was also divided. Half wanted Yoonsung to befriend MC, the other half thought it best to spare MC a cycle of pain and love for their selfish reasons.

Each approached MC at different times throughout the days and weeks.

Jaehee noticed MCs coffee patterns and when they'd go and where to get coffee.

Zen would disguise himself and shop at the same places MC would.

707 paid more attention to MC through cameras and even asked MC for directions to the nearest convenience store in the guise of an old man. His heart almost melting when MC offered to help him carry his things to the car.

Yoosung found more opportunities to work with MC in group projects or at lunch, making sure their group of friends interacted.

Jumin made sure MC had a good scholarship, requesting for interviews with MC, but he'd just watch from a screen while his employee would question MC.

They all wanted to tell MC, to reach out and hold MC, but understood that maybe it was for the best.

Until one day MC fell asleep at the local library.

Sometimes the rest of the RFA would be at the library to watch MC and to make sure they were okay. Rarely did all 5 appear at the same time.

They sat around MC doing their "work", and stopped when they heard MC talk in their sleep.

"RFA, I have to help them... RFA..."

--

Yoosung☆ entered the chatroom.

Yoongung☆: eVERYONE CLESR YOUR EVENINGS!

707: Why? Is something wrong?

Yoonsung☆: we are going to a club and MAGICALLY run into MC there

Jaehee: Is it safe? Wont it be too much for MC?

Jumin: I'll send a car for everyone at 6.

707: LUCKY YOONSUNG I AM PROUD OF YOU

Zen: GAH! I have to get ready. Bye!

Zen left the chatroom.

--

You were dragged by a few friends and your hosting brother.

"Come on MC, all you do is study!" They whined until you conceded.

"Only for an hour. Then I'll go."

But no one took you serious.

Once at the club you got the feeling of being watched, but it made sense since you were a foreigner.

"This your first time here?" You sat on the stool across from the bar keep, smelling the alcohol and sweat from the people around you.

"That obvious?" You told the barkeep how it was your first time at any club. He gave you advice: "Relax. Just drink this and dance."

After the first song and dance, you felt it. You felt the calmness and the wave of letting go.

Surprisingly, you were asked to dance a lot. First it was a pretty lady with glasses and short pixie hair. It was fun and you laughed. But it left you longing for coffee.

Then it was a handsome guy who you think you've seen on TV and plays before. He was tall and had a flare for the dramatics, initiating a dance with a rose.

Sometime after, a business looking man offered you his hand. He twirled you and danced with you to a different beat. His aura screamed: CEO.

Soon after, it was the guy from your classes. He was surprised to run into you and you wondered why you never bothered to talk to him much.

Finally, it was the bar keep. All save the red hair. He looked like the barkeep but with red hair and glasses that were unique. You felt this sudden need to drink PhD Pepper and some Buddah chips, something you were told to avoid.

After all the dancing, your friends joked, asking you how you got good looking people to dance with you and only you.

You shrugged and drank water by the gallons.

"MC?" A tap on the shoulder startled you.

"You have been requested to the VIP section. This way"

You eyed your friends who yelled at you with encouragement. Joking about how you'll for sure have fun now.

"Enjoy," the security man opened a door for you leading into a karaoke room full of the people you danced with.

"What's going on?" You felt a headache appear as it did when you'd stare at cats, LOLOL, roses, wine, fireworks, coffee, honey buddah chips, and cigarettes.

Your classmate stood up to you.

"This."

"A karaoke match?"

"No. Just look please."

You turned to the karaoke screen, flashes of you smiling and dancing in dresses swarmed the screen.

You laughing with the lady covered in flour and drinking coffee.

You with a pretty white cat with blue eyes as some guy puts on her a collar with a bell on it.

You cheering at some guys performance, jumping and clapping but elated while holding a bouquet of flowers.

You with your classmate at a kitchen table doing homework together but asleep on the open textbooks instead.

And you driving a nice expensive car while a red headed man is laughing and holding onto the seats tightly.

Then there is you in the middle, between these people, posing for a portrait.

Pictures of you hugging them, kissing them, celebrating with them, crying with them.

"You... you guys..." You cry.

"Do you remember us?"

You turn to them and while wipping your tears ask:

"Does Jumin Han is gay?"

Don't ignore me

|| 707 route when he pushes MC away ||

You didn't like how Seven ignored you. You thought him saving you from his brother would have brought you two closer. Or that him staying with you in that apartment with the bomb would have allowed him to be more open with you.

You hoped that it would have. But it wasn't the case.

You got out of bed, ready to face another silent filled day with Seven and his memories.

"Did you sleep well?" You walked into the kitchen where Seven was grabbing a soda from the fridge.

He didn't respond and you just nodded, making your way to get coffee, not in the mood for food.

"You should eat something MC," Seven pointed the stove where eggs and bacon were already made.

"Thanks," you nonchalantly said, feeling yourself go into one of your moods before having met the RFA.

The silence that clung to the early morning was disrupted by Seven's phone ringing. And like that the morning went by. Seven left to work in his corner, and you left to the bed where you slept.

--

707 entered the chatroom.

Jumin: How is MC? Any progress with the security?

707: I am almost done. MC is probably sleeping again...

Jumin: Are you two fighting?

707: ... No. But it's for the best. If MC gets too involved with me, danger will always follow them. I can't allow that. So. It is good.

Jumin: If it's what's best for MC.

Zen entered the chatroom.

Zen: HOW CAN YIU TWO BE SO DENSE?!?!

707: Oh, MC just woke up. I'll talk to you guys later with updates!

707 left the chatroom.

707

It was for the best. He told himself that as long as MC was safe, none of the rest mattered.

But he began to notice a pattern in MC. The odd hours of sleep, the odd eating schedule, and the odd times MC would disappear with whispers.

At first he thought it was because MC would talk in the chat and that the chat was the cause of MCs odd habits.

Until he caught MC in conversation.

"No, everything is good. The semester doesn't start for a few more weeks and I found a good apartment. It's not too far from the university... no, you don't have to worry. All is good! Yes. I scheduled an appointment for that. And that too. Okay, love you. Bye."

It wasn't in MCs regular tone of voice. But maybe MC too had demons they haven't dealt with.

707 continue with cooking food for MC, stocking the fridge with fruits and healthy snacks, and even making MC coffee before they'd wake up.

But no matter what, MC wouldn't budge. They'd budge when trying to get him to eat and take a break or maybe to even talk, but the more he pushed MC away, the more MC tried.

Until MC stopped trying.

Maybe it was when he said he wished MC never downloaded the app, or when MC saw him breaking the robot, or by avoiding conversation. But MC stopped trying too.

MC would still remind him to eat, take a break, relax, and even leave him food. But it was the lack of sticky notes that worries him.

"Everything is great! I sat in one of those dog cafes and it was the greatest! Oh he is? That's great. I miss him so much, he has no idea... yeah. Don't forget to take him walking! Okay, bye."

He noticed MCs voice fluctuation when they lied. When they were sad. When they were done.

"Do you have a dog?" He found himself asking before he could stop it.

"Sure. Yep. I'm sorry, I'm so tired. I'll use the bathroom first, I hope you don't mind." MC said in regular MC voice. It made him wonder how much else he didn't know about MC.

MC entered the chatroom.

Yoonsung☆: MC! How is everything?

Zen: Is Seven being a gentleman? Tell me if I need to call and yell at him.

MC: ^^ everything is good! Seven has been so nice. Honestly, he's such an honest fellow~

Yoonsung☆: Still, I'm so jealous he gets to see you first!

MC: Should I send a picture? ^o^

Zen: YES.

MC: *picture of 707 in another wig*

Yoonsung☆: Wuah! I am really jealous now!

Jaehee: Honestly, you and Seven have an odd sense of humor.

Zen left the chatroom.

Zen entered the chatroom.

Zen: Ha ha. Very funny. I'm going to practice some lines.

Jaehee: Good luck!

MC: ^^

707 entered the chatroom.

707: That was my favorite picture!

MC: ... Yes, well it was fun! But I am tired guys, I should go to sleep. Sleep well everyone! ^^

MC left the chatroom.

You didn't try to be awkward or anything, but you didn't know what else to do. It was obvious Seven didn't want you around.

So you did your own digging.

You thought that if you could do your own research, it would make Seven feel less stress and maybe even be less avoidant.

You talked to a few of the guests, asking for nonchalant questions of previous RFA parties, going through the drawers of papers, and even getting into Rika's email.

And what you found was astonishing. Times 10.

Through he files there were coordinates, pictures of Seven and his brother, of everyone in the RFA crossed off, and of her manifesto.

"Crap." You didn't know what to do with this information. Should you go there yourself? Or should you tell someone? Should it be Seven? What if you called Jumin? Maybe Zen?

"What're you doing?" You closed the laptop quickly and took your glasses off, facing Seven at the door of the room.

"Research." You technically didn't lie. You knew he'd look into the web searches later.

"On what?"

"Previous RFA parties. I don't want to mess this up. You've all been so helpful and if this does a lot of good, I want to do it better." Again, not really a lie.

"Oh. Well. It's late. Go to sleep, I'll see you in the morning."

"Wait!" You stopped him before he closed the door, building that barrier again.

"I'm safe to leave the apartment, right? I mean. You're hiding from the agency so it isn't safe for you. But say I wanted to go to the library for some books or to get some snacks, I'm free to go, right?"

Seven thought about and then nodded.

"Yeah, just don't go with any strangers and stay in the chatroom so we know you're okay. Better yet, here. Give me your phone and I'll add a tracker."

"No." You say quickly and add, "You don't trust me? And besides, you already put a tracker in my jackets after I left that one time."

"It's not about trust but your protection. Someone is still after you and if we know where you're at, it would be useful."

You hand him your phone, scared that he'll go through things you never told anyone.

"I promise I won't go through anything."

And like that he left you with your thoughts at night.

--

707

MC was at the library, which meant that he could have a few hours of snooping

He's happy MC took his advice to ignore him but he didn't think he'd feel worse than before about it

Not like this.

He decided now would be the perfect time to go digging into MC's background.

He promised he wouldn't but he needed to make sure they were not already from a bad situation

He read about their life, their family, their situation, and their reason for leaving

"OH shit."
