Tumblr media
you closed the curtains in your kitchen. the sun's rays were unbearable. cherry season has finally came. you took a bowl of cherries and left the kitchen, sat your comfy couch. you were wearing shorts yet felt like melting from the heat. the sweetness of the fruit made you forgot your problems for a moment. you were so engrossed that you didn't notice the tall figure approaching from behind you.
your boyfriend was stealing your cherries. you flinched and glanced at him. he just got out of the shower, his wet hair was tickling your neck. the scent of his shampoo made your heart race. 'they taste so good', he sat down near you while chuckling to your reactions.
'stop stealing my cherries you thief', you said to him with faking angry. he looked at your pouting lips, grinned widely. he wrapped his arms around your waist, mindful of the bowl near your body. a few seconds later you found yourself in your boyfriend's lap. you continued eating cherries after that you made yourself comfortable in his embrace. but then... he bit your cheek?
'what was that!', you tried to yell but your mouth was still full with cherry. he laughed loudly, amused by your blushed cheeks. 'sorry, babe, you looked so cute. i couldn't control myself.' your face reddened. 'i hate you', you mumbled against his chest as hiding your face there. he lifted your chin up with the one of his hands was on your waist. 'i'm sorry. here, you can eat the last one.'
your eyes brightened to his sweet offer. you took off the seed, put the cherry in your mouth and he started kiss you. it felt like a dream that you wanted it to never end. you wrapped your arms around his neck and he tightened his grip on your waist.
the sweet cherry kisses continued all day...

RFA boys+ jihyun having a child who is a "daddy's kid" to the point that their wives are annoyed (like why does he love you so much)
Yoosung
Yoosung is a dad who I think is laid-back and fun. He is a parent, with whom you can share your stressful day at school and get genuine understanding and an uplifting pat on the head that will leave you feeling relieved and secure almost immediately. He's a bit clumsy, of course, as he's used to being the youngest in practically every group he has ever been in. And now that place is taken by someone else! His kid can build a genuine bond with him through mutual trust and understanding, thanks to his easy-going attitude. It's not surprising to see his child growing up to have a deep affection for their cool father. Yoosung will chuckle and pinch your cheeks if you pout and grumble about him stealing all the attention for himself. He finds it absolutely adorable to see you huff and puff, but you can't hide the smile blooming in the corners of your mouth as your child clings at his legs with happy giggles falling from their lips. The sight is too cute to be upset about. On the weekend, he will make certain to arrange a family picnic for you two. One where you all will be spending quality time together as a family.
Zen
Zen is a doting father, hands down. His family did not provide him with support, self-confidence, or even a trustful place for him to share his real struggles during his childhood. With his own family now with you, he will make sure to never make those same mistakes again. Unfortunately, that means that he has a habit of spoiling his kid a bit too much. It's nothing too bad, but it still leaves you as the one being the strict parent telling your kid that, no, eating another ice-cream is not a good idea, and that will make them sick. I'm not saying that Zen isn't capable of being strict. Despite this, he may encounter difficulties with his approach. He's anxious to not come off as too controlling or judgemental. And hey, there is nothing wrong with having a couple of hurdles. Parenthood is a journey filled with many twists and turns that you can't be ready for. With you two working as a team, though, you will get through anything. Zen's love language is words of affirmation, so he'll be praising you in the eyes of your kid quite often. It's sweet. It teaches your child to be confident in sharing their inner thoughts.
Jumin
Jumin is... he's a bit clumsy when it comes to parenthood, but in a very endearing and sweet way. Unfortunately, Jumin didn't have a very good and healthy childhood to look back on. I actually think that having a child of his own will nudge him into actually processing and acknowledging the neglect and abuse he had to go through in his childhood and early adulthood. He wants to believe that his father a good man. That their relationship is one of support and love. After all, Jumin is a family man. But, as he tries to seek out his father for advice, he realizes that... he doesn't want to raise his own child in the same way his father raised him. And that makes him pause. Jumin is a father who is deeply loving and tender. His child receives all the respect and warmth in the world from him. He supports them on every tiny interest they have, almost to a funny degree. His kid likes dinosaurs? You will receive a package filled with encyclopedias and scientific literature on the subject that he will read through with the most captivated look on his face. Does his kid like watching magical girl anime? Well, now he has sparkly pink stickers on his every office supply, and he is not ashamed to show them off. Jumin Han loves his family with all his heart, and he will express it to the world without any shame. However, if he notices that you are growing a bit jealous of the way your child is always showering him with affection, he will have a talk with them. It's almost unbelievable how well he communicates with his child. You will come home to an adorably drawn card with you three holding hands and smiling, that your child has drawn for you. And a small doodle from Jumin on the back.
Saeyoung
Saeyoung is yet another father who is devoted to his child almost to a fault. He is both excited and terrified about his future as a parent at the same time. To say that he had a difficult childhood would be like saying nothing at all. Heck, if you ask him, he'll tell you that he feels like he had no childhood. From as early as he can remember, he has always been the caretaker. The protector. He had to. To survive, it was necessary for him and his brother. So, all he has on what it means to be a good parent is based on media he has consumed. He has no other source to seek advice from. Sure, he considered V to be his father, but... he'd much rather not think about that now. He's trapped in a very paralyzing dilemma. He's a family man, and he wants to start his own happy family with you. He adores kids, and the idea of having a tiny person to spoil and take care of makes him grin so wide. But, at the same time, he feels utterly terrified at the prospect of becoming a parent. He is afraid of hurting the child, even if it wasn't his intention. Terrified of making the same mistakes his caretakers have made. Terrified of this responsibility. It's something he'll have to resolve in therapy, before you two decide on having children, be it by adoption or natural means. As an actual father, however? His child will never feel unloved. He showers them in gifts, treats, books, all kinds of things! He spends his every evening with them. He is involved in their school life and their interests. He is always there for them. So, it's not that hard to imagine your kid growing a bit too attached to their amazing dad. Saeyoung will tease you about a bit, sure. But, in a typical Saeyoung fashion, he will prepare a surprise for you and your child. One that will connect you and provide you with much-needed alone time. Maybe a game of an escape room, or maybe a video game he created just for you two. Either way, it's a fun way to remind you just how wonderful this man truly is.
Jihyun
Talking about this with Jihyun is amusing because Lucy is shown to be quite playful with him. But, who's to say he can't switch your roles at times? Jihyun's perk as a father is his supportive attitude. Much like Zen, he grew up in a family that forced him to deny his true wants and desires, and he wants to do all he can to make sure that Lucy never has to be ashamed of what her tiny heart is longing for. He'll just be a bit concerned if she starts hanging out with Uncle Saeyoung too much, to the point where she wants to build robots for a living. Jihyun is not very good at technology! He does his best to engage with her, though. You can't help but laugh as you catch them playing video games one evening, Lucy absolutely crushing your husband on every single round. From what you can tell, Uncle Saeyoung taught her well. If Lucy doesn't spend enough time with you, I don't think it'll be an ongoing issue. You and Jihyun have built a very healthy and open communication between yourselves, so the problem will get brought up almost immediately. And resolved just as quickly.

I just found out I'm ticklish on my collarbone and I'm thinking of a possible Saeyoung scenario.. lolol
Saeyoung is relentless when it comes to both teasing and tormenting his partner when he's certain they're into it. Sorry to say, but you better prepare yourself for a thick peppering of kisses applied to that area when you least expect it. He loves the sound of your whines and giggles when he dips down and shows you just how effective a feather light touch could be on your skin. That's the funny thing, he doesn't have to apply all that much force to make you lose it.

The Demons in the Details (707 x Reader)
Word Count: 1.2k
Author's note: This is an entry for @mysticmessengerenglish's fanfic contest. The theme was weddings and I had an idea to try playing with. Hope you enjoy! ^^
You paused in your inspection of the current venue and glanced back over at Saeyoung to gauge his reaction. He looked deep in thought as he scanned the building. You wished you could hear his thoughts… He looked like he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders.
~~~~~
Wedding preparations are always tiring. They become even more so when expectations or standards are a bit too particular. Saeyoung was by no means a very picky person. In fact, you often had to nag him about keeping his preferences quiet for the sake of others. So it was a bit out of the ordinary to find that Saeyoung was so critical of every venue you visited. There was always something. It was too public of a spot, it was too closed off, it didn’t have enough exits, and the list went on. Nothing was quite right. You got the feeling that if it were solely up to him, he would just have the whole thing in his bunker.
His mind was racing with every possible worst-case scenario. He had to. After all, he had finally gotten everything he ever wanted. He was reunited with his brother. He had found a new family in the RFA members. He had even found the love of his life. He had…everything to lose. With his father and the agency still out there looking for him, he had far too many enemies to take any chances.
Finally, Saeyoung seemed to reach a decision. “Hm…yeah…this place is nice and all, but I just don’t think it’s us, y’know? I mean… we can definitely do better,” he said with a slight chuckle, attempting to keep his voice light and casual.
You couldn’t help but let out a small sigh. “This is the fifth place we’ve seen today. We’re kind of running out of options…” You tried to point out as gently as possible.
Saeyoung let out a small sigh of his own as he ran a hand anxiously through his hair. “You’re right, you’re right. How about we just…sleep on it for now? I have some more research to do anyway.”
You knew this ‘research’ probably involved running background checks on all the venue’s staff that would even breathe in the general vicinity of the event.
“...Okay. Yeah… It’s getting late anyway. We might as well go back,” you relented. You wanted to try your best to be accommodating. You knew that he had to do whatever he could do to feel safe.
Spirits were low as the two of you returned to the bunker. There was a certain unspoken tension that neither you nor Saeyoung wished to address. You both made light small talk about the day as you had dinner with him and Saeran as usual, but you could tell Saeyoung was still worried. As much as you wanted to try and talk through things, you didn’t want to push him before he was ready…. And so, even as you retired to the guest room for bed, the topic was avoided entirely for the night.
You awoke a few hours later. After a quick glance at your phone to confirm that it was indeed the middle of the night, you decided to get up and check in on Saeyoung. Experience told you that there was a good chance he got caught up in something and would need to be talked into actually going to bed. However, rather than a chance for playful teasing between you two, what you found when you peeked in was much more concerning.
Saeyoung sat on the edge of his bed, hunched forward with his head in his hands. Without thinking, you entered and quickly crossed the room towards him. 
The sound of your footsteps jolted him out of whatever state he had been in and his head whipped up to lock eyes with you. “…Y/N…?” He asked quietly as if your presence had surprised him.
“Saeyoung! What’s wrong?? Did something happen?” You asked worriedly as you came to a stop by his side.
He took a moment to register your words, still lost in his thoughts. “...Um…yeah…I-I mean no.” He stammered out, pausing to rub tiredly at his face and try to recollect his jumbled thoughts. “Everything’s fine. I just…had a weird dream, hah…” He breathed out quietly.
You frowned deeply and sat down beside him, placing a light touch on his arm. “Do you want to talk about it…?” You asked softly.
He didn’t answer, so you continued. “Whatever it is…you can talk to me. We promised to handle things together, remember? You don’t have to talk about it right now, but I can tell you’ve been worried about something and it’s more than just whether we get married someplace with or without windows, so-”
“Are you sure this is what you want?” Saeyoung suddenly interrupted your ramble. 
“...What…?” You replied, caught off guard by his words.
Saeyoung took a deep breath in and let it out before he looked over at you. “Things aren’t going to be easy, you know. Living with me…won’t be easy.” He paused, glancing down at the engagement ring you wore on your hand. A sign of your connection to one another.
“...What? What are you talking about?”
He sighed again and gently took your hand in his. “I still have a lot of enemies. You could get caught in the crossfire of any one of them.”
“Saeyoung…”
“Every time I close my eyes… I see everything that could go wrong. And every time I open them again I think about how I’m not ready. If I fail to account for even one possible threat, you could get hurt…or worse…"
"Saeyoung." You called out a little louder, hoping to get his attention off of his spiraling anxious thoughts and back onto you. When he looked back up at you, you continued. "You don't have to bear everything alone anymore. Everyone in RFA has your back. Saeran and I too. We're all in this together. And if dealing with Mint Eye has taught us anything…it's that we're stronger together." You said with a soft smile, giving his hand a gentle squeeze.
You brought your other hand up to gently touch his shoulder. "And to answer your question…yes. This is what I want. You are what I want, and nothing will change that."
The both of you were moments away from tears. Saeyoung quickly pulled you into a tight hug, burying his face into your shoulder and sniffling softly.
"I love you so much, Y/N." He murmured, his voice muffled by your shirt. 
The second half went unspoken but you could hear it loud and clear. He was afraid of losing you. No amount of mere words could quell those fears entirely. They lived so deeply in his heart and you couldn’t chase them all out no matter how much you wanted to. All you could do was try to support him.
You let out a sigh as you hugged him back and let your own tears fall as well. "I love you too.”
Your happily ever after wouldn't be as easy as the fairy tales made them out to be…but you two would be okay so long as you stood together. You weren’t about to let go, and by the looks of his grip right now, neither was he.

My current daydream scenario of choice is video calling with SE Saeran.
It starts because he’s not allowed to leave the bunker. Saeyoung gives him a phone, of course, and his own room, and all manner of basic necessities, but still— Saeran feels trapped. Granted, he’s been trapped all his life, so this is nothing new, but unlike before, he has nothing to focus on anymore. He has nothing to strive for, nothing to do but stare at the ceiling and idly scroll. Saeyoung installs a video call feature on the messenger app almost as soon as Saeran starts using his phone, largely because he gets nervous whenever he leaves Saeran alone in the bunker. It helps his nerves if he can see with his own eyes that Saeran is physically safe, although, as the weeks pass by, Saeyoung’s anxious video calls become less and less frequent. 
You, however, start calling more often. Saeran doesn’t talk to anybody very much, but out of the RFA members, he’s probably the closest with you. That’s mostly because you don’t seem to pity him the way the others do, nor do you seem inclined to bother him by being loud when he needs silence or quiet when he needs a distraction. The first time you call him, you’re at the store picking up groceries to bring to the bunker. You flip the camera around to show Saeran rows and rows of cereal and ask him which one he wants— it’s a small gesture, in the scheme of things, but it shows him that you respect and value his autonomy. He can still remember your words at Magenta all those months ago, when you earnestly told him that it was his decision whether to trust his brother or not. It wasn’t, of course, but still— you’re the only one who seems to be thinking about letting Saeran make his own choices. 
It all sort of spirals out from there. Soon, you start video calling Saeran just to talk to him— but it doesn’t seem like you’re checking in on him, trying to prove that he’s okay just for your own peace of mind. Instead, it feels like you actually want to tell him things. Occasionally, you’ll show him what you’re doing or what you’re seeing in the world outside of the bunker— especially clouds, and though your phone camera doesn’t pick them up too well, Saeran appreciates the sentiment. There’s so much in the world that he’s never seen before and wouldn’t even think to ask about, so it’s nice that you’re willing to introduce him to these things without too much fanfare. If you like to go on walks, you can bring your phone with you, and though he may not be the most talkative walking companion, he enjoys the peaceful escape from the life that he lives inside the bunker. 
Sometimes, you video call Saeran while you’re working— depending on what your life looks like, this might mean you set up your phone so that he can see you while you’re quietly studying, or maybe that you call him while you’re busy with your hobbies. Hell, maybe you hide your phone somewhere out of your boss’s view and engage in a completely silent call with Saeran from your desk at the office. It’s not that the two of you spend all day every day together or anything like that— Saeran likes his alone time, after all.  It’s just that he also likes having your presence nearby, even if you’re not able to be physically close to him. 
Other times, you call him in the evening when you’re home alone. The two of you might talk for a while about what’s been going on in your lives— although, Saeran isn’t really the type to vent out loud, and sometimes, if something’s really bothering him, he ends up texting you about it while the call is still going on. Usually, though, these nights end with both of you laying in your respective beds. Saeran really likes falling asleep with his phone propped up on a pillow while on a call with you, although usually he’s the one that watches you falling asleep first. Although it doesn’t make his nightmares go away completely, he finds that it does help a lot to fall asleep feeling safe. Sometimes, though, he ends the call as soon as you’ve fallen asleep—  he feels comfortable with you, but that doesn’t mean he wants you to wake up to the tell-tale signs of one of his nightmares. 
Even once it’s deemed relatively safe for Saeran to leave the bunker, Saeyoung is still a little bit paranoid about Saeran getting in trouble for driving without a valid license, and if you don’t drive, either, then the two of you may not get to meet in person as often as you’d like. Sometimes, Saeran is too overwhelmed to make the journey out to your apartment, even though he’d like to see you, and a lot of the time, the feeling is mutual. When one or the other of you has bad days, sometimes meeting up in person is just not possible, but it’s nice to be able to see one another face-to-face even under those circumstances.

Hi, I was reading your works and think you have a really good understanding of characters so I wanted to ask. Do you see any scenario in which Jumin would push MC away for her own sake? Extreme cases like if his father embezzled from the company but Jumin took the fall and had to go to prison for the maximum amount of years. Or if he lost all his wealth and couldn’t afford security anymore, but still had people after him. Would he want MC to stay with him even though he wouldn't be able to protect her/give her a "normal" life?
Your marvellous mind! This makes my brain tingle. If you see from the times he's faced with threats and his bad ends, there aren't any scenarios where he pushes his loved ones away for their protection. That's more Saeyoung. Jumin is like a dragon that hoards his precious things. The more he's threatened, the tighter his grip on his loved ones would be. His biggest fear is to lose everything he holds dear, so he builds up his security to be impenetrable.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If Jumin had to take the fall for his father's embezzlement, I think he'd set up emergency funds and security for MC and hide them away from the media before he goes to prison. He has a private island where MC can stay. These plans may even have been set up way before as a precaution. He'd try to make MC's life as comfortable as he can and hope she would wait for him to come back.
If Jumin became poor and had bad guys coming after him, it's possible that he'd go to Saeyoung for help. He's not above pleading for his lover's safety and be indebted to someone when he can't hold up a fair bargain. I'm also thinking about when he tries to give Elizabeth the Third to V because he doesn't think he's a good owner, so I'm tempted to say he could push MC away if he thought she deserved better. But even then, he can only part with his cat because he knows she'd be with someone he trusts. He is still in control.
More importantly, Elizabeth is a cat who can't choose him back on an equal stance. MC can. You know how pliant Jumin is over MC's words. If MC told him they wanted to stay with him despite everything, how long do you think it'd take before Jumin's resolve broke? Maybe they could run away and start afresh where nobody knew them. It wouldn't be surprising seeing that he takes this route in his BE2 DLC. Maybe MC could protect him instead. Maybe they could work together to protect their relationship and future.
When faced with imminent danger, Jumin snaps into ultra logical mode. So if he actually pushed MC away for their safety, it wouldn't be due to pure angst. It'd be a calculated act where he had some control over.
Also, during the RAE crisis, Jumin's confidence never falters. He still believes there's something he can do to protect the RFA and he toils away endlessly for solutions. All the while losing his job and friends and half his assets. It's this that makes me think when everything goes to hell, the only person he can trust is himself and therefore MC is the safest with him.
Jumin's selflessness isn't by giving up his lover. It's by giving everything he has to protect them even at the cost of himself.

There is a disturbance in Seven's head. Perhaps some faulty connection or something finally knocked loose during his last field mission, he's not sure.
He finds himself in the backseat in his own mind. He has no control over his racing thoughts and plans, much less the ability to focus on the demanding tasks ahead of him. Every time he tries, it's like his brain disconnects and leaves him with nothing but static. He tries to focus on agency work but finds his hands working on a robot prototype instead. He takes his car out for a drive to clear his head and finds no reprieve in even that.
It's embarrassing for him to admit this, but you're the only person keeping him somewhat sane at the moment. He finds himself opening chatrooms just to talk to you for a few minutes. Your voice manages to cut through all the noise the way nothing else can and it soothes him for short periods of time.
There is a sneaking suspicion in his mind that you're the one who's causing all this chaos to begin with, but that idea brings him no relief. If you really have unsettled him so, there is no solution he can imagine that would bring back his focus.
Either way, he likes to talk to you often just to keep the buzzing at bay. He knows that it's a temporary solution to a problem he suspects runs much deeper and is harder to solve. There is no place for you in his world. He'd like nothing more than to keep you as far away from it as possible, for you to never have to know of the terrible things he has done just to survive.
(If only that didn't mean having to keep himself away from you too - but he really doesn't have the time for fanciful thoughts like that.)
He tries other remedies. He tries to sleep, goes for longer drives, drinks energy drinks to keep him going. He even builds you another robot, hoping that if he indulges in one of his passing ideas it will keep the others at bay to no avail. The only thing that helps him focus is hearing from you.
You send him little texts throughout the day (as if you can tell how heavily he relies on them) and appear often in the chatrooms. With each passing day, he grows more and more distracted and, consequently, more desperate for any form of connection with you. His subconscious is occupied with nothing but the memory of you. Echoes of your voice, the sweet sing-song way you always seem to say his name (as if it makes you happy just to hear from him). It bounces around in his head at the most inopportune moments.
Less pleasant are the fears for your safety. Your voice in his mind twists into something awful, terrified, calling for him to help you. But you are, as always, somewhere he cannot reach. He finds himself occupied with all the different ways that things can go wrong - on top of all his other fears.
He closes his eyes and sees your face, his fingers type your name through lines of code of their own volition. It's getting dangerous.
He imagines it's that sense of desperation that causes him to type out your number one day (he doesn't even remember memorising it). He only notices what he has done when he hears your voice on the other end.
“Oh…you picked up! I just wanted to hear your voice while working, I must have called you without thinking. I… was worried I was going to forget what it sounded like.” God, he doesn't know what he's saying.
Somehow, you reward him with a laugh. His head spins.
“I didn’t wake you up, did I?” He continues. He isn’t sure what to do if you say yes.
He can hear the sound of your voice on the other end and it sends a jolt of electricity through him (better than even Dr. Pepper could do) but all he can grasp is you telling him something about being responsible for what he’s done. His heart jumps in his chest. You're teasing him, and he probably deserves it, but he can barely take it at the moment without turning into a blushing stuttering mess.
He starts to babble – about what, he can’t remember – just to fill the empty air so you don’t hang up. He wants this conversation to go on for a bit longer, just to keep hearing you talk. Pity it seems to have come at the cost of his filter. He finds himself talking about a dream he had a few hours ago.
Since meeting you, he has revealed so much about himself that he wouldn’t think of telling other people. He hears his voice saying things he has never dared to say out loud before.
“Something really strange happened when I was calling you before… My hands were just pressing your number automatically… It was like I was in a trance. I thought about hanging up, but I’m glad I didn’t.”
“I’m glad you didn’t too.” You sound genuine. Warm and so welcoming, he could just curl up and....
“Hah… hearing your voice… makes me want to take you to the space station.”
Why did he say that? It’s official, something is wrong with him. He feels the heat rising through his body and he feels like he’s about to catch on fire.
Before you can say anything, he blurts out, “Oh, I have lots of work to do so I need to hang up… Um… thanks for talking to me!”
He hangs up, buries his face in his hands and groans. You’re never going to talk to him again, and he’s certainly never going to get any work done anytime soon.
Still, despite his embarrassment, the memory of your laughing echoes through his head. It sends shivers through him despite still feeling so hot. He wants to - no, he has to - hear it again.
He keeps his face firmly planted in his hands (the skin of his cheeks is so hot, he idly worries that he's got a fever). He has no idea what he's going to do with himself.
He wants to call you.

Nothing but Deception
Tumblr media
Saeyoung & cmc Natasha Stakh;
Somewhat of a prelude to the Fractured Heart piece I wrote a while ago, but can be read separately without loosing anything crucial to the story! This time, I wanted to explore such a complicated situation from Saeyoung's perspective as he finally gains control of his mind after days spent in a drugged haze.
This scenario takes place after the 3rd Bad Ending of 707 Route, in which Saeyoung is taken hostage by Unknown after a failed attempt to get him out of Mint Eye.
Ch. 1, Ch. 2 (you are here!)
A violent coughing fit put an abrupt end to the peaceful silence enveloping the tiny living space in which both Saeyoung and Natasha have resided for a few days now, thus quickly waking them both up from their slumber, albeit with completely differing experiences. The redhead let out a painful groan, instinctively clutching onto the nearest surface as a searing migraine wreaked havoc on his disoriented mind. He tried to open his tired eyes to assess his surroundings, only to heavily regret his decision soon after. God... Everything in his line of sight was spinning. Fighting through the pain and exhaustion trapping his entire body in invisible shackles, he managed to clumsily raise himself up on one of his hands, quickly finding that it took practically all of his strength just to keep his balance, regardless of a simplicity of such a light movement. Still, once he gave himself a minute to catch his breath and calm his racing thoughts, it took him only a couple of seconds to acknowledge who was the person studying him with apprehension in their eyes of an unnaturally mint hue from a few feet away.
In a hoarse voice, he called out Natasha's name a few times, still finding it hard to distinguish reality from illusion, thus repeating his actions in order to make sure that he did, in fact, do exactly what he desired to.
Damn... He has no idea just how long he's been here already. It feels like it's been centuries as his mind was completely overcome by a drugged haze, too thick even for him to fight through, despite all the training he had faced back in the agency. So, why... Why is he suddenly feeling like himself again? In here? He vaguely remembered that he had already crossed paths with her many times before, and yet... Usually, Saeran was there, making it impossible to have a normal conversation.
He doesn't understand a single thing about this!
"Are you okay...?" He tilted his head slightly towards the young woman, hoping - no - praying that she won't view him as a threat and force yet another doze of a vile mint liquid down his throat while he's still too weak to put up a fight even if he tries.
She was still obviously feeling quite drowsy, judging my her groggy gaze and sluggish body language, which made him come to the conclusion that this clarity of mind of his was definitely not planned on her part. Well... He can't remember any useful info about her unique position in this place, except for the fact that she was almost always by Saeran's side. He doubted she'd tell him anything crucial, though. Finally, she replied to his question, allowing him to hear her voice clearly.
"Hm?" Much to his surprise, she merely yawned and rubbed at her eyes, as if there was absolutely nothing strange about this situation they were currently in. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be okay?"
Saeyoung could only stare silently as she slowly sat up in her bed with a satisfied groan falling from her lips, stretching out her limbs in the most casual way possible. The sheer contrast of her nonchalant behavior in these dire circumstances only made him feel more and more desperate, as the pieces of the puzzle were slowly coming together, all while the former control of his own thoughts was gradually returning to him the longer he stayed awake.
She was... She was one of them, wasn't she...?
"Hm... Wait a bit."
He watched silently, studying her from afar, as Natasha lazily reached out for her phone laying on the bland nightstand nearby. Not much was visible from his position on the couch, but he did manage to sneak in a small glance at what seemed to be a messenger app of sorts. Although, it was hard to call it a proper messenger, since there was only one user for her to contact, and he didn't need to think hard in order to guess their identity.
But, if she's close with Saeran, then why is she treating him so calmly? While she definitely wasn't rushing to help him, there was no ill will or hatred in her eyes as well. It was difficult to read her intentions, and he didn't know whether or not he should trust her at all.
Once she was done typing out her message, she chuckled with clear amusement flickering behind her minty eyes and then turned her full attention back to Saeyoung, much to his discomfort. "Are you feeling better now? If that's so, you can go wash away all that sweat and dirt, and then I might take you out on a walk to our kitchen. I'll cook something normal for you to eat for once. How does that sound?"
She was obviously in a fairly good mood, and he quickly found himself feeling completely dumbfounded by her suggestions. It didn't make sense to him whatsoever, and it wasn't like anything he had encountered here before. She wasn't disgusted by him or actively trying to harm him, but, all at the same time, she was treating this whole situation as if he was on a vacation or something!
It made him start to feel frustrated.
"Why..." Why is this woman so damn calm and cheerful about this!? Sure, he was probably on a way higher dose of drugs than she had to experience in her time here, but still, this place... It was terrible, vile, cruel! He needed to get Saeran out of here as soon as possible, not walk around and cook breakfast as if it's a normal Tuesday! "We need to get out of this place."
Actually, he really should act as soon as possible while he's still somewhat conscious. But, the bitter truth is... In order for him to start planning on the escape route, he first needed to find a computer, or at least a phone.
She merely blinked, staring at him with a dumbfounded expression slowly creeping its way onto her previously obliviously cheerful face, before it shifted into something more somber.
"...Oh."
It seems that his clear sense of mind was made obvious to her only now, judging by the vague understanding filling her gaze. She quickly darted her eyes back to the phone screen, as if trying to avoid any sort of eye contact with him. He easily could pinpoint evident conflict happening within her thoughts. Though, it was a conflict he could not make sense of. At least she wasn't actively trying to rat him out... by the looks of it. He didn't know if she's just the type of person who's very bad at hiding their emotions, or she feels comfortable enough in his presence to be so open for some reason.
But, maybe, there is some hope for him at last.
Before he could think of a single word, he was interrupted by a heavy sigh falling from her lips. "Look... I can help you get out of here. I guess. But... It's going to be you, and only you . And if you decide to do something that would cause any harm to this place then we'll have to get you back, and I won't be able to help you. But, um... I'd rather just go and cook us breakfast now."
She was trying to avoid this conversation all together, he could see it clear as day. Help him get out of here...? So, does that mean that she's not with this organization by her free will? But then why is she actively warning him against causing harm to this place? Her actions contradicted her words so evidently, that it was making his head spin. Or, maybe it was just the drug. He didn't know.
But, it seems that they were both feeling pretty confused about their own separate circumstances, which is pretty ironic in and of itself.
She awkwardly scratched at the back of her neck, still avoiding looking him straight in the eye and quickly getting up from her place on the bed. Her voice was filled with heavy uncertainty, however hard she tried to seem friendly and unbothered. "Well... You can pretend to be still under the influence of the elixir. At least I would advise you to do that. I don't know just how busy your... brother will be today, so you might have to be taken under surveillance while I'm at work."
At the mere mention of Saeran, before he could stop himself, the words were flying off the tip of his tongue. "There's nothing to advise me about! I'll take Saeran and go. If you're willing to help me get out for some reason, then you can come with us as well. We... we need to get out here."
He ran a hand over his face. Along with the pain, small fragments of memories flashed through his mind. Natasha was... smiling? Whether it was a true event that really happened or a mere fragment of his confused imagination was hard to tell, but the thought unnerved him quite a bit.
Judging from her reaction... It looked like she was happier when he was under the influence of the drug. Although... It was probably too early to make any concrete assumptions on her character like that. But still... Why is she acting so strangely?
Perhaps he should try a softer approach. After all, she was a victim of this cult too... he might be able to lure her onto his side if he appeals to her somehow? She seemed much softer in nature than other 'believers' he had come across, so, perhaps, he could appeal to her kinder side if he plays his cards right.
So, this time, he tried to make his voice sound gentler, carefully leaning towards her and addressing her by name. "Natasha, this place is no good for anyone, you... do understand that, right?"
This was a test. He needed to find out just how far gone she was before he would plan on his further stragedy.
In response, she shifted nervously from one foot to another, clearly getting more and more jittery the harder he pushed her. Still, there was no anger, only discomfort. "Well... Yes, I understand what you're trying to say, but... I don't want to leave. Look, I agree that you're better off escaping and never coming back, because... Uh, I guess, I shouldn't go into details about your situation and why you're just suffering by staying in here."
Another shaky sigh followed suit, she almost looked... somewhat guilty standing there all hunched over and unsure of herself.
"But me...? I... I like it here. We all like it here. While yes... Maybe this place is far beyond the comprehension of the outside world, but... We're happy here. And... Saeran is too. S-Sort of." That last phrase was clearly out of place, making her stumble over her next jumble of words, almost mumbling to herself as if trying to fix her own mess-up in wording and changing the subject all together. "W-Well, I can probably distract him... Just enough for you to leave, that is. And I could tell you about the structure of the building and where all the exits are. Um... I might even lead you there myself, but I can't promise anything on that..."
Hearing her speak so absentmindedly about both Saeran's and her own dangerous situation, Saeyoung didn't even realize how frighteningly quickly he succumbed to the irritation persistently gnawing at his temples like a vicious parasite, clutching his hands into tight fists and inadvertently scowling at her in a moment of pure and righteous anger. "He is not happy here! No one is happy here! Why don't you understand that?!"
He almost sprang to his feet, completely ignoring the protests of his sluggish and tired limbs, before he caught himself halfway through the action, realizing his grave mistake straight away from just one look on the young woman's face in front of him.
Well... It took him only a couple of seconds to realize that this wasn't what he was planning on doing or saying whatsoever. It wasn't at all like him act out so... sporadically, even despite his dire circumstances. No, this outburst was just outward strange, unpleasant and... If he was to be completely honest with himself, kind of frightening to go through. It's like he lost complete control over his own mind and body for a few fleeting moments, and he did not like what that possibility entailed whatsoever. Moreover, his headache only got worse from his own shouting, making the hacker feel even worse, both physically and mentally.
He could only exhale uneasily, casting his eyes to the ground and gritting his teeth to mask his growing anxiety. God, he hoped this outburst of his wouldn't ruin all the hope he had left. "N-No, I'm sorry... I didn't mean that. But this place is no 'paradise'. Cruelty and violence has no place in true heaven where everyone is happy, surely you understand that if you think that I'm suffering."
His mood was definitely changing way to sporadically and quickly for his liking, a change that was not a welcome one. Even he could feel that his behavior seemed unnatural, only to add to the growing pit of despair deep in his empty stomach. It wasn't hard to guess the reason behind this sudden change in behavior, but it didn't make it any easier to cope with it in the moment. After all, he had no idea for how much longer he'll have to stay here and choke on the bitter mint liquid until there's nothing left of his autonomy whatsoever.
No, he has to put himself together. He didn't care what would happen to him, but he needed to get Saeran out of this wretched place, whether he wanted to or not. Even if it will cost him his own life in the process.
It's the least thing he could do to fix this mess.
Judging by the anxious look on Natasha's face, his sudden shouting more scared than angered her, much to his huge relief. In fact, she seemed to be feeling rather lost, uncertain on how exactly should she respond to such a violent reaction coming from him. Was she, perhaps, not expecting him to act out like this?
"Uh..." At last, she merely let out a shallow sigh, casting her gaze somewhere on the wall behind him, a distant look clouding her light mint eyes. "Even if you might think so because of your bad experience here, there's no unnecessary cruelty when it comes to my fellow believers. W-Well... I'm just too softhearted for my own good, so my personal opinion might be too biased to bring up."
Didn't sound so encouraging to him.
Regardless, she continued, ignoring the painfully clear contradictions in her speech like they weren't even there. She pinched a bridge of her nose, shutting her eyes for a few moments, seemingly trying to compose herself. "Ugh, look Luciel: I can't help you right now anyway. Just go wash up and wait here while I make breakfast for all of us. And then... And then I don't know. Whatever happens will happen. If you want, you can pretend to be under the elixir in front of Unknown and the believers. I won't snitch on you, if that's what you are afraid of. And... I'll help you escape. But neither of us want to leave, so... Just think about it. While I do want to help you, I will also do what I must to protect our paradise. I hope you won't take my word lightly on that."
Before he could utter a single word to argue, she quickly went out into the corridor without even waiting for his answer. He could hear the audible sound of a mechanical lock being put in place, thus making this tiny room his new prison, albeit a way more comfortable one when compared to the damp jail cell he was being kept in before. And while he probably could escape out of here with ease if he put his mind to it... Was there really any point in doing that when he has no valuable info or equipment on him whatsoever?
All he could do was just sit there, feeling an entire hurricane of various emotions flowing through him as he replayed this worryingly short dialogue between him and Natasha over and over in his own head, searching for answers that just weren't there, no matter how hard he tried to look for them. She was just as confusing to him as Saeran in her contradicting behavior, but maybe, that was the entire point from the very beginning. He had no idea what they had to go through in this hellish place, and the mere thought of it made him feel sick to his stomach. At least, she seemed like a truly kindhearted soul, even if her motives were a bit twisted. He could only hope she was good to his brother, whatever that even meant in this disgusting cult. Thinking it all over again, such a reaction coming from her was to be expected, and he should be happy enough that she didn't throw him in the basement, at least.
----
"You should eat at least something, it's highly unlikely that you'll escape anywhere today and the effects of the elixir won't't hit you as hard on a full stomach, trust me on that. There's no drugs in there, if that's what you are so afraid of."
Saeyoung flinched, swiftly lifting his paranoid gaze back up at a young woman sitting just a few feet away from him. They didn't say a single word to each other ever since she came back into the room with a tray of steaming food in her hands. And while it was temting to sink his teeth into something other than some bland piece of bread his brother would usually throw his way, it's true that he was cautious to put anything into his system at the moment. He just got rid of the debilitating effects of that drug and he didn't want to risk it. Though, Natasha didn't seem to mind as she casually put a piece of ham in her mouth.
"I don't want to fight with you, okay? Like I said, you can leave here safely and I'll help you. This place is not for everyone. But... It does bug me that you're trying to force your way on us. I like it here. And it... It upsets me that you want to take this happiness away from me, from all of us. We are all happy and like one big family in here. I don't agree with some things... But it's the only place where I feel like I belong. I hope you'll understand that."
He scowled, although this time around, his anger wasn't directed at her specifically. "No, I won't understand, sorry. This place is just using and exploiting your pain, just like it did with Saeran. It's cruel and vile. Saeran he... He's too unstable to see right from wrong right now. And since you're not trying to pour that drug down my throat right at this very second, surely you see what I mean, even if you try to deny it to yourself."
He attempted to put all the hope he had left into his pleading gaze as he looked straight into her eyes, searching - no - begging for a glimer of understanding. He truly didn't want to escape out of here alone. Besides, Saeran could have easily prepared a plan B for this exact scenario as well. And... Saeyoung didn't want for his brother to get hurt even further because of his escape. He was under Saeran's 'care'... Who knows what will happen to him if he, by some miracle, manages to escape? And even if he'll come back as soon as possible with a backup plan... The mere thought of Saeran suffering even further because of his actions sickened him to his very core.
He needed to escape, and he needed to do it with Saeran by his side, or die trying.
"Please, Natasha..." He sounded weak and vulnerable, his voice breaking into a hushed plea. If there really was a God, he only wished for him to grant him this one miracle to save his brother's life. Nothing else mattered anymore. Nothing else has ever mattered to him more than Saeran's well-being. He couldn't allow himself to fail him like that again. "Surely you realize that this isn't a life worth living...?"
She held his gaze for a few fleeting moments, before deciding to break the eye contact all together with a single tired sigh, choosing instead to stare down at her plate with a blank expression slowly making its way onto her face, while she absentmindedly picked at it with her fork. "Luciel... I... I don't want to talk about this, okay? It may seem wrong and crazy to you, but... I like it here, alright? I don't want to argue about this."
All the resemblance of her cheery mood that was present at the beginning was now replaced only by a clear discomfort that was practically oozing off of her in waves, whether it was intentional or not. Saeyoung could see her glancing anxiously at her phone, her fingers twitching as they held on to the utensil in her hand, her lips pursing into a thin line, as if she was debating over something within her own mind, unsure on what to do. Much to his relief, though, in the end, she turned her head away from the phone all together, her brows furrowing into a rather sour expression.
Regardless of that small win, though, he was definitely getting more and more exasperated as his attempts to reason with her were shut down one by one. He groaned in frustration, running a hand through his hair in an effort to calm his racing thoughts, one even worse than the last. "Ugh... But when you first came here, didn't they give you that drug too? Even in small doses, I doubt that it's a pleasant experience to go through. All this 'elixir' does - is hurt you and makes your mind easier to bend and break to their liking. If I'm wrong, why do you advice me to pretend that I'm still drugged? Is this really how people supposed help each other in an ideal world? Lie to each other because you'll get punished if you go against their wishes? That's not freedom, it's prison."
It was getting harder and harder to hide his growing annoyance with her contradictions when so much was at stake here. Still, it's not like him to give into anger so easily when he knows perfectly well that it is not safe to do so. Sure, anger wasn't anything bizarre to Saeyoung - quite the opposite, actually - but it's the way that he expressed it that was bothering him. Could this increased irritability of his be a side effect of the elixir...? And if that is indeed the case here, what else is there to expect in the future?
God, he wanted Natasha to believe him more than anything. He genuinely thought she was on his side once he realized that she was actively trying to protect him. Everything and everyone was against him in this place, and the notion of having even just one single ally in this hell? It was just enough to make him hope that there is a happy ending to this tragedy that can be achieved if he'd just try hard enough.
He knew... That she took care of him all this time.
He remembers just enough to make sense of a few phrases and her caring touch when it was the only possible consolation after hours of both physical and mental torture in the basement. He really thought that she was just scared to act on her own... That once he proposes to her the idea of escaping this shithole with him and Saeran, she would take it without any hesitation. Now, though, the thought of a successful escape, especially with Saeran, seemed more unattainable than ever before. While, yes, she, without a doubt, was treating him with sincere kindness and respect, that is not nearly enough for the desirable outcome.
It seems now he has found yet another way that this place manages to corrupt even the gentlest of souls.
But, he has no right to give up... No matter how hopeless everything around him is, he has to keep fighting. Lowering his head in defeat, he picked up some of the warm food with his fork, without much enthusiasm in his movements despite the hunger laying heavy on his bruised limbs. "So, you still won't believe me, no matter what I say...? Is that what you're trying to convey?"
Yet another quiet sigh was his only response, however this time, the young woman put away her fork all together, clearly loosing her appetite, much like he did. Looks like they really were in painfully similar situations, only on different sides of this invisible battle. “I don’t know. At least today, I definitely won’t decide to go with you anywhere. And it already makes me feel pretty bad to realize that I'll have to betray Unknown's trust, even if I know that I'm doing the right thing. As an assistant, I'm not supposed to make such drastic decisions on my own. Although it shouldn't matter to you anyway. And listen: I don't want to argue about this with you. You have every right to hate this place, just as I have every right to love it. I'm telling you to leave Magenta and never come back if you despise so much... Why force us to go with you?"
He couldn't find the words to respond to that. All that was left is a tense silence as they both tried their best to stay afloat in a raging sea of conflicting thoughts and emotions that could swallow them whole if they are to loose their composure even for a single moment.
If only she could realize just how similar they really are in this mess, and see him as an ally and not as a burden to get rid of.

Hello!! May I request fluff male reader headcanons that include Saeyoung Choi, Jumin Han, and Zen?
The scenario in which the headcanons would take place would be them reacting to the reader coming out as trans(ftm). Like you stated In your rules, only do It if youre comfortable with it :)
---
You're talking to a ftm guy here I'd be stupid if I declined this :)
And since this is a brainrot, this won't be structured and Imma talk like I ususally would Might actually make it more fun for you to read too
Mystic Messenger Masterlist
I hope this is what you wanted & you enjoy reading! Tips are very appreciated!
TW: you gettin misgendered to list and example, I'll make them red and small so you can avoid them if you need. And it's only once in Zen's part
x male! reader
Headcanon: Hyun Ryu, Jumin Han, Saeyoung Choi reacting to their s/o coming out as ftm
Tumblr media
Zen doesn't know what that is, honestly, so you're going to have to explain it to him
If you started dating when you were still presenting as female- well
He is really confused about it, wonders what will happen with your relationship, but he is quick to decide he doesn't want to lose you just because you're no longer presenting female
I can totes imagine him realizing he's bi once he thinks about you being a guy, and realizing that really relieved the both of you, cuz a reason why you didn't tell him right away was because you were afraid he would break up with you, right? And he's just happy he still loves you the same as ever
Like- he loves you so much, that's why he doesn't want to stop loving you, you get me?
But really, that one was actually obvious; he made it very clear in the very beginning that he loves you unconditionally, he loves you for you! So it really was just the attraction to your body that could've changed, but nope
It all takes a few minutes to click, and a few hours of talking for him to confidentally being able to say he is in love with another guy. That being because of his initial confusion and him feeling unsure
He loves seeing you relax more, slowly seeing you more happy and confident of yourself as time moves on
Caution though: he will slip up every now and then with nicknames. He is so used calling you female terms, please forgive him
"Princess, I'm ho- no. Fuck! Prince, I'm home! I'm so sorry, handsome!"
He tries to make up for it and shoo away any approaching dysphoria with male gendered compliments
If you already transitioned before you got to know each other, you, again, will have to explain what being trans means, but it will be much less confusing because of the lack of a sexuality crisis
And, well, Zen just stood there (you can actually imagine him looking at you like in the picture above, just with wider eyes)
One educational conversation later and he is all good, and he's actually amazed about that topic Like- Whoa! People sense that their gender assigned at birth is wrong? And there are multiple adjustment operations? Cool!
"I would've never guessed!", maybe not the best thing to tell a trans person, but he makes up for it by putting the topic aside once you're finished and said everything you wanted to say You know, to get back to your normal routine. The least thing Zen wants is you feeling like anything will change now just cause he knows now
Overall rating: 6/10, he's clumsy and needs a bit of time, but it's clear he does his absolute best
Tumblr media
Jumin has basic knowledge when it comes to trans people due to Pride events in the company, but never looked into it more than he had to
And it certainly comes as a surprise when you tell him
Let's talk post transition first cause we wanna save our jokes for later, k?
So...you already transitioned and finally come forth to tell Jumin you're trans
...
There is not much of a reaction cause he literally doesn't care He's all like: "Alright, darling. Love you." and honestly, I love that But if, and only if, you look nervous or scared about it he will further talk about the subject
And an explaination of how he fell in love with a man (aka you) follows, a man who he swore to love forever. And Jumin was no person to break a promise, okay? He still loves you the same as ever
He really could not care less about how your body looks, you will always, always, always be ravishing in his eyes
And now pre transition hehehehe
Jumin looks at you in silence for a few seconds, raising a hand to his chin in thought
"Hmm..."
You could've never known what he was thinking about, no matter how agressively you were to look back at him
"I suppose I am gay after all.", and he cracks a smile
He doesn't even give you time to react as he mumbles on, telling you to leave a list of things you need on the table until tomorrow morning and it shall be aquired for you
"I will notify the workers here as well. If one of them slips up, please do tell me. I'll cut their payment."
And for the rest of the conversation he let's you decide what you want to be clear about
Overall rating: 11/10, I may be biased on this one, but come on...This man is so chill about it and will make sure you're in a safe environment
Tumblr media
Now when I tell you Saeyoung knew, I mean he KNEW
He literally hacked into your social media and dug around in your phone, but you didn't say anything when you were called a girl, so he didn't say anything. It was either because you weren't sure about it yet or you didn't want to come out if they somehow found out about you ig
OR maybe you already transitioned during that time, then forget the part about you not saying anything to being misgendered, really just thought of the beginning of the game
Anyways, the man knew and he was like WhoA
Ehehe uvu cute boyfie, yes please Cuz this man is a raging bisexual, prefers men
His heart exploded the moment you told him, like- He is so proud of you you figured this out for yourself and trusted this info with him, in a world filled with homophobia and transphobia. Even tho he always supported the LGBTQ+ community and made sure you knew he did(and made hints he is part of it as well, but it seemed more like bromance jokes)
If you haven't started your transition, he'll lay down the questions: Who is allowed to now? Which nicknames are off limits? Where am I allowed to touch you? Things like that
Other than that, not much additional explainations are needed, he already knows at least the basic info and can easily find the parts he's lacking
Cuz now's not the time for talking. Let's get your measurements to buy you a binder! He offers you his socks to use for a packer, jokingly, but it felt too real dsfigodsifg
"Once we're getting married in space we can put a trans flag on the moon.", he muffles into your neck before leaving a trail of kisses on it
Overall rating: 10/10, pls, he is so sweet and loves sharing lgbtq+ memes with you and knows his stuff AND willing to run the extra mile for your comfort

Can I request a scenario of going shopping with the choi twins 😎 I feel like it'd be so wholesome honestly
OMG this sounds adorable!!! Imma go with the SE Choi bois
Saeran needed his own wardrobe. His clothes were mostly hand-me-downs they gathered from everyone in the RFA, and as a result they didn't all fit right. Plus, he deserved to pick out clothes that he personally liked and were his style, something he was still struggling to find as the younger twin still felt like he had no true 'self'.
While normally the twins shopped online from the safety of the bunker, you made it clear that clothes shopping required trying stuff on and also figuring out if Saeran liked the clothes and how they felt. Vanderwood was dragged along after you made it clear this was a family outing, and that they were part of the family.
Saeran was nervous with the crowds at the mall, but the noise deadening earplugs you got him helped him a bit with not getting overwhelmed.
The first store they stopped, Saeyoung immediately was drawn to graphic tees, holding up one with a picture of a cat in space, shooting rainbows from its eyes. You join him, picking up a few t-shirts Saeran might like and some simple shirts
You show Saeran one based on the movie UP, a simple sky with clouds that the balloon-carrying house floats by at a distance. His eyes light up a bit despite maintaining a blank expression and shrugging when you ask if he likes it. He likes it.
Saeran is looking at pull-over sweatshirts and hoodies, picking several oversized hoodies in basic colors
At the next store, Saeyoung holds up several sweaters he found for his twin
Much to both Vanderwood and Saeran's surprise (but not to you), they are simple sweaters, no scratchy tags or material to irritate his sensitive skin, no crazy designs except one with a T-Rex on a skateboard (You bought that one for Saeyoung)
Vanderwood introduces Saeran to flannel, and the different types of it. He's amazed by how soft and cozy they are
Saeyoung convinces his brother to get matching flannel pajamas. Saeran only relents after making it clear he gets to pick them out
The twins also are drawn to a store of Squishmallows
You leave the store with several bags of them
Saeran is hugging his new Plague Doctor squishmallow
Overall, a pretty productive trip!

Zen & Rika are Trapped in The MM World Part 2
Now that I established all of the 4th wall breaks and references to previous Cheritz games, we can now get into Zen, Rika and the April Fool’s DLC in more detail, and how all of this ties together.
Let’s start by discussing these references. I think they are also diegetic, like the 4th wall breaks. If MM is a pocket universe created by Saeyoung and V, then of course they would know about the events of Dandelion and Nameless. Why? Because those events inspired them to create the MM pocket universe. They saw The Wizard host these games and meddle in the lives of mortals. He not only accumulates a lot of power by hosting these games but also ends up with Heejung in the end. I talked about how I think V wants to be with Rika, paralleling The Wizard and Heejung’s situation.
What Saeyoung gets out of this is 2 things: 
1. Creating a ‘videogame/pocket universe’ because he enjoys it.
2. Get more memories to fuel his power by getting the MC/player to play through the routes.
I can imagine Saeyoung throwing in references to Dandelion and Nameless as a homage to his inspiration for creating this pocket universe, just like how game developers irl reference their own inspirations/previous works. This is really meta, I know. It’s amazing.
The laws of how this pocket universe seems to work are like a videogame. People are machines/AI/robots. They have to follow a set algorithm/script. The only way we can interact with the characters is through the messenger and VN scenes that only show certain locations. 
This is how I interpret all of the weirdness in Mystic Messenger, while also connecting it to information we have about wizards.
Rika is Trapped:
I discussed in a follow-up to my Saeran/Ray Another Story post that Rika may actually be trapped in the MM pocket universe too, along with Zen. Though in her case, she finds out this truth and seems to want to get it out. I suggested that this is part of why she created Mint Eye, to get away from V and find a way out of the pocket universe. 
1. Rika was the one who told Yoosung that everyone in the RFA are machines in the CS common route bad ending. I talked way more about this in the Saeran/Ray follow-up post.
Tumblr media
2. Let’s elaborate on Jumin’s story:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This friend that Jumin is talking about is Rika. For her to want Jumin to read this book, that coincidentally is about the origins of Nameless... I have a feeling that she knows this book’s contents are based on actual events, and that she wants to tell Jumin the truth of their universe, but had to start small.
On that note, Jaehee, Yoosung, and Jumin all seem to understand on some level that their world is fabricated. This is extremely evident in the April Fool��s DLC.
Zen is Trapped:
Here we go. This one is gonna have way too many screenshots:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I can not understate how bonkers this DLC is when it comes to the deeper lore of this game. It took the bad endings, 4th wall breaks, and references, and blows it all out of the water. It feels like all of it has led up to this: a scenario in which Zen realizes he is living in a pocket universe. This crack started in the CS common route bad ending, but we don’t actually see him believe Yoosung.
In this DLC it is Zen’s birthday, and he found himself unable to leave the RFA chat and remains logged in the entire day. I believe that this is because the messenger is the main way characters can communicate in this pocket universe, and if characters are not on screen then they... might be in stasis? Or something similar? In any case, keeping Zen in the chat like this forces him to exist and remain present the entire time.
In the screenshots above, Jaehee clearly understands something that Zen doesn’t. She gives him hints on how to ‘become like them’. In this DLC everyone is an inanimate object: 707 is cardboard, Yoosung is an omelet, Jumin is a cat, and Jaehee is a coffee maker. She doesn’t directly spell it out for him. If Zen does what she says, and acts as bizarre as them, essentially blending into the ‘normal’ of this world, then he turns into an inanimate object too in a bad ending. Can you see the double meaning here? This is a microcosm of what living in the usual (CS, DS, AS) MM pocket universe is like. Act like everyone else. If you don’t, it can lead to suffering (see CS common route bad ending).
Let's ask. Why is this DLC so bizarre anyway? Why did the laws of the pocket universe change? Well, our answer is from dear old Saeyoung the wizard.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is what he does at the end of the DLC if you get the good ending, where Zen ‘wakes up from his dream’ and has his B-day party. We literally witness Saeyoung state that he needs to change the messenger back to normal. He talks about it in terms of doing magic as a wizard.
Anyway, let’s get back to Zen being trapped. The following screenshots is Zen realizing that he is in a pocket universe. Buckle in it's a doozy:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I mentioned in the past how I think Zen is a prince from Grass. I bring up multiple possibilities for how he got to the MM universe, and I think the most likely one is that he was trapped here, whether he wanted to be here originally or not. He seems to have either been here since he was a child, or his childhood memories were fabricated by Saeyoung. In any case, this dream he had when he was younger may have potentially been him seeing the future. Because he had it when he was younger, it may be further back in the timeline from what we play through in the MM routes. So, seeing us, the real us beyond the screen is predicting the future. It predicted that Zen will find out that we are an entity in another dimension/universe. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I talk about MC and the player interchangeably, and that’s not an accident. I mentioned in a past post that I believe that this time around, we the player are the MC. The avatar with the long brown hair we see in pictures throughout the game is just a vessel for us to interact with the MM pocket universe. This is why she is a blank slate with little personality outside of predetermined options. This is why the MC this time has no personality while in Dandelion and Nameless, Eri and Heejung were fully fleshed-out characters.
I talked in more detail about how we, the player, have been established as an in-universe character way back in Nameless, too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This doesn’t sound good... this sounds like a man who has fallen into despair. Zen says he has come to terms with it, but he also told us to "use me". He is trapped here, but hey, at least he has some entity in another dimension/universe that he can talk to. Even if that entity is restricted with limited dialogue options! At least a real person knows he’s there, and he asks us to come and see him any time... 
Mystic Messenger’s hidden story is messed up. 
It’s probably a better outcome to get the good ending in this DLC, where Zen celebrates his birthday with the RFA, his fellow prisoners (if Yoosung is to be believed about them being real people at some point). Maybe ignorance is bliss in this case?
Now let’s think about why Saeyoung or V would want Zen to be here. Maybe both Rika AND Zen made a desperate wish. Maybe Zen made this wish to either V or Saeyoung, not The Wizard from Dandelion. 
Perhaps Zen wanted to get away from Grass, for reasons I mentioned in my previous posts? And they technically grant it by sending him here to the MM pocket universe. His memories of Grass may have been the price for this wish, thus why he doesn’t remember his old life as a prince.
As for Rika she probably still led a tragic life, not dissimilar to her backstory from RAS. It seems like she made this desperate wish to a wizard we have never seen before. We even SEE this happen with her in V’s after ending, where Rika is seen in a dimension eerily similar to where The Wizard and other wizards are known to reside.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The background is a sea of stars. They aren’t identical but keep in mind that Dandelion was made in 2012, and V after the story was made in like 2018. In RAS we see this location again, along with it we hear a song from Dandelion play called “Ra rochu ra no so - In a Frozen Dream”.
youtube
youtube
It’s the same song. The wizard speaking to Rika has a female voice and seems to be much gentler. I think that besides V and Saeyoung there are definitely way more wizards involved in all of this.
TL;DR: Mystic Messenger is a pocket universe created by Saeyoung and V. Their goal differs. V wants to be with Rika and Saeyoung wants memories/fun. Rika and Zen both had desperate wishes. Zen to leave Grass and Rika to realize she is the sun. Zen made his wish to either V or Saeyoung, and they grant it by sending him to the MM universe. Rika made it to an unknown wizard but is whisked away by V because he became obsessed with her. He tries to become her ‘sun’. This doesn’t work out.

How does saeyoung feel about who yoosungs dating?? I cant help but think his first thought would be that she is using him (dispite that not being the case) but we know how worried saeyoung always is
Oh, Saeyoung immediately flies into paranoia. On a good day, he struggles with severe anxiety, but when he finds out Saejoong Choi's daughter is pursuing a romantic relationship with one of his (very few) friends? His mind jumps to all the possible worst-case scenarios.
Is she trying to hurt the people close to Saeyoung, to hurt him? Is she using Yoosung as a pawn to get closer to Saeyoung and take him out? Is she trying to get intel from Yoosung? Will she stalk Yoosung's movements both physically and digitally? He knows agents aren't allowed to have liabilities, but this isn't even a threat from the agency. This is the one threat he fears more than anything else, the specter that has haunted his every step from the moment he drew his first breath.
he's so focused on thinking about her as an enemy, as a threat, as a demon never to be trusted... that he doesn't realize until much later that she's also his half-sister.
but how can he consider her family, when she will never know saejoong choi as a monster but only as a doting, successful father?
(of course, he's not actually a good dad and sae-eun has her own trauma to work through, but that's for a later day. she's also 100% innocent and just wants a golden retriever gamer boyfriend)
(under different circumstances, they could be good friends. in an Another Story timeline, they'd probably bond after everything goes down with the Prime Minister. but since my canon--as Ariella--is Saeyoung's route and the Secret Ending, they... don't ever get as close as they could in Another Story.)
