RFA + V | Unknown react to meeting the Player behind MC.

A kinda quick head canon thing based on this: MC's Route

Premise: MC's Route resulting in you, the Player, finally seeing the characters free of the Mystic Messenger's restrictive programming. You, as you are, meet them for the first time~

(This is just for fun, bit of a fluff piece!)

The poor boy was in a full panic.

One second MC was in front of him, the familiar sweater she wore was comforting to see.

But this person... didn't dress the same. Their hair, voice, eyes- It's all so different, so unfamiliar.

"Uh- Hi." Yoosung was screaming at himself.

I mean, his girlfriend just evaporated into code in front of him before being replaced by a complete stranger.

and all he could come up with is "um hi"

But really, what is he supposed to say?

He was a nervous wreck, his hands were shaking. What did all this mean for him, for the RFA, for you?

And just who are you?

"Yoosung..." You started, but struggled to find what to say to him. He was so anxious to ask a million questions, but he failed to realize that you are just as nervous.

While you cared for Yoosung, you knew that he didn't know you at all. He only knew MC, but she wasn't real.

You had all this time to get to know him, care for him, and while you had wished you could meet someone like him one day; you didn't expect this.

Seeing him hesitate though made it so much harder to confess face to face.

Does he still care about you, now that you're not MC? Does he feel hurt, betrayed? It wasn't your fault, you had no way of knowing all this could happen.

You clung to the hope that Yoosung would accept you for you, that all this wouldn't scare him away.

I mean, if you had just found out your boyfriend was a bunch of coding in a game, wouldn't you feel unsure about the player behind them?

Realizing that Yoosung is likely unsure about your relationship, you sigh dejectedly. You had to let him go his own way and maybe, just maybe, he'll one day be okay with all this.

You doubted it, after all, who would be?

"I'm sorry." Your eyes look anywhere but at his. Your apology catches him by surprise and his breathing stills. "I understand this... is a lot to take in. It's alright if you don't want to be with me anymore."

Yoosung's eyes widened, now seeing his silence was mistaken for doubt.

His hands grabbed your shoulders, perhaps a little rougher than he meant. Panicked, he desperately tried to explain himself.

"No! It's not that." Yoosung was starting to sweat, his heart felt like it was being twisted in his chest.

"I still love you!"

His face bloomed into a bright red, but he forced himself to keep going. "I mean, I think I do."

Ouch.

"If you really meant everything that you've said to me, all the things you've done-" Yoosung kind of glossed certain things. He definitely wasn't going to bring up his eye at a time like this. "It doesn't matter where you're from... or, what you are."

"I'm still just human, Yoosung..."

His blush deepened in embarrassment. How was he supposed to know that though? He shook his head so he could focus.

"You've done so much for me... I may not even be here if it weren't for you. I was struggling when I met you." Yoosung felt like he was admitting something, but he didn't want to focus on himself now. Not when you looked like you were about to cry.

"I might not know you, but I feel like I know the kind of person you are." A tentative smile spread across his face when you finally looked at him. "You cared so much for me and I want to do the same for you."

"Yoosung-"

"I love you..." Yoosung glanced to the side, suddenly looking supremely embarrassed. "I, uh- I don't know your name..."

His bashfulness, the nervous and unsure smile; your Yoosung.

"Y/n. My name is Y/n."

"It's me, Zen. I'm MC."

He was beside himself.

On one hand he had this lovely girlfriend that he adored and adored him. She was sweet, beautiful, and supportive. Literally a dream come true, he had plenty of fantasies of his perfect girlfriend.

MC had blown his dreams out of the water though. She was all that and more.

On the other hand, there was this... stranger? Standing in MC's place. Someone completely new and Zen really didn't know what this person was all about.

Sure, he wanted to be his usual flirtatious self upon meeting them.

He thinks you're attractive, but he's conflicted.

MC is his girlfriend, right? He wouldn't be unfaithful, he wouldn't flirt with a stranger knowing he was with someone.

But... you are MC...

Zen needs to sit down, he needs a few moments to come to terms with this. MC wasn't real? How does anyone just accept something like that?!

You are, of course, so worried to see him like this.

There were so few times when Zen was less than confident. Seeing him so deeply shaken by this realization made you fear for your relationship, but more important; for him.

When he sat down, he put his head in his hands. There was no doubt in his mind he loves MC and if this person really is MC, then he loves you too.

It's not that Zen is questioning his love, but rather he found MC fading away very jarring. When MC vanished he thought the worst.

Then you showed up in her place. You explained that MC is just a- what was it?- an avatar you use to communicate with him.

The hell is an avatar?

You had no issues giving him time and space. Whatever he needed! You love him, you care about how this makes him feel.

Still, it hurts to know this was causing him so much stress.

"Zen, it's still me." I just look different. You didn't want to bring attention to the differences between yourself and the MC avatar. It was hard enough as it is.

As you kneel down in front of him, you carefully reach out for him. But think twice when your hand nears his.

You both sit in silence for a few minutes, just letting Zen reconcile this crazy circumstance.

It doesn't take him very long surprisingly, as he suddenly takes a deep breath and throws his hands away from his face. The quick movement startles you and you lean away.

Then you see Zen's gentle smile and he steals one of your hands, bringing it close to him.

"I'm sorry, jagi." He began, his voice steady and quiet. "I didn't mean to make you wait."

"What-?" You were taken aback by this quick turnaround, but he didn't give you time to question it.

With a hand on your back, he pulls you into him. Just like before, he held you close. Firm, but gentle.

"It's a lot to take in," You felt him chuckle, "But I can't imagine being without you. I love you, jagiya."

Sure, it was a relief, but it still felt strange. Zen had definitely understood you and MC were, technically, the same person. Only that MC didn't exist, but the affection MC had for him still did.

That wasn't why you felt weird about it though. It's just that he seemed so shaken and then, without warning, was perfectly okay with it.

Pulling back from Zen, you can see his confused expression. It twanged a heart string, but you had to ask:

"You're... really okay with all this? I mean, I'm basically telling you that you're, ah- code and so is your world."

"And I'm from a different reality! That's a lot! It's... okay if you're not okay with it." You said it and it was the right thing to do, giving Zen this way out.

But it was totally unnecessary.

"How impressive is that?" Zen kept smiling, pulling you back until he could rest his forehead against yours. "My jagi is from another world- Oh! Tell me about your world!"

"Zen, what-?"

"Yes! There's so much, you have to tell me all of it!" Truthfully, Zen was curious.

He also felt incredible that his S/O loved him, even from another world.

he already kinda knew

Down for the count, absolutely.

This couldn't be real, this was insane.

She'd finally lost it, huh?

Her girlfriend had just- well, whatever that was it was unnatural. MC disintegrated pretty much. There was nothing scary about it, MC warned her ahead of time it was going to happen.

But Jaehee didn't really believe her.

That is, until this new person approached her. They weren't MC but... they were. A different face, hair, body, voice. It was all so, so different.

"Jaehee..." There it was, that strangers voice. So loving and worried for her that it made her confused all over again.

"Are you okay?"

For what seemed like forever after MC disappeared, Jaehee blinked. She removed her glasses, wiped them clean, and put them back on her face.

You laughed quietly, your cheeks tingling. Her shocked face was so endearing, it made it hard to stay away.

But you had to, she needed to process on her own time.

You and Jaehee had built this cafe together. A dream come true, something life changing, and here you were; dropping another life changing thing on her head.

It felt a little selfish, but this wasn't your doing. You hadn't been in control until now.

Though you could've kept the MC avatar going, you chose to be honest with Jaehee. She didn't deserve the stress, she also didn't deserve being lied to.

It was hard to tell what the right option was, you just did what felt right. You wanted to be with Jaehee, not have that avatar separating you. Perhaps it was a little selfish, Jaehee was so happy with MC...

But it only took Jaehee drinking a tall glass of water in one gulp before she returned to you, ready.

"Are you MC?" This was the business side of Jaehee again. She was trying to be organized about this craziness and she had just the way to do it.

"Uh- yes..." You shrugged, "But my name is Y/n."

She nodded, calm. "Y/n." Your name fit you, she liked it immediately. "Will you explain it to me? Everything?"

That was a big ask.

It wouldn't be easy working through it, but you tried your best anyways.

Jaehee wanted to understand, she asked you to help her; how could you say no?

So you both talked through the night with very few interruptions from Jaehee. She usually just asked a few simple questions between your long winded descriptions.

Where are you from?

What about your family?

How come you didn't mention this before?

Why now?

What is your world like?

The questions kept coming and she kept logging down every bit of information she could until she finally felt like she got it.

As complicated as it was, Jaehee wasn't going to judge you based on your answers.

Eventually, the sun rose and you realize you had been speaking all night.

Before you knew it, Jaehee got up and started to return to work.

Confused, you followed her while studying her face. She didn't look angry, upset, or... well, anything other than tired. You were up all night.

You finally stopped, desperate to find out what she thought, she turned to you and said;

"You're still MC, right?"

"Then what's there to worry about?" Then she smiled, returning to work.

Jaehee was practical.

There wasn't anything else she wanted in this life. So long as she had you and the cafe; she's happy.

"Jumin...?"

This was... so far beyond him. He didn't understand a lick of it, so much flew over his head in the first few seconds that he eventually just checked out while he witnessed MC leave.

Well, MC left but she was still here.

Or, more specifically, you were. MC, the avatar, was gone for the time being allowing Jumin to see you and only you, in her place.

At first, he didn't hear anything you said.

Then, he heard everything but didn't comprehend it.

Now, he just really wants to know if you're okay.

His wife just vanished and now there's a stranger claiming to be her. You explained it before you removed the MC avatar, but that barely did anything to help Jumin connect the dots here.

He understood and he didn't at the same time.

"Are you..." Jumin Han actually had to clear his throat, excusing himself as he gathered his composure again. "Are you alright, like that?"

Not exactly what you expected. "Like what?" You looked down at yourself, but saw nothing out of place.

"MC. The woman." It came out a little quiet. Jumin felt remarkably uncomfortable describing his wife like this.

Oh. "Are you asking if it... hurts me to control her?"

Jumin just nodded once.

"No, MC is just an avatar. She does whatever I tell her to do or say." You already explained this bit, but you anticipated not all of it would get through the first time. "I'm still MC, I just don't look like her."

Faintly, Jumin's eyes narrowed. Just enough for you to notice and cringe under his critical gaze.

Jumin was rather intimidating in person.

"You... are not my wife."

Man, that didn't feel great.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Y/n." You figured being straight and quick was the best way to go. Jumin was a very curt man after all.

He looked away from you, eyes closing in thought. There was so much to consider, but he opted to ignore most of it. He knew himself well enough to know he'd need more time and a lot deeper explanation before he grasped it.

Instead, he took a few long strides towards you before stopping in front of you.

Seeing him approach with such a stern expression caused you to lean back, resisting the urge to step away.

You loved and trusted Jumin, but seeing him like this was difficult.

"It won't look good in public if I'm seen sharing my private home with another person."

That... was a good point. People would assume he's having an affair or, at the very least, ask where MC went.

"Can you make her appear when you want?"

Nodding quickly, you answered. "I just wanted to show you me, the real me." A little ashamed, you diverted your eyes from his overpowering gaze. "I can always just... stay as MC, if you prefer her."

Instantly, you felt a hand under your chin urging you to look back to him. Nervous, you felt your cheeks redden.

"Y/n, I still love you deeply. There is much we should discuss, but in public I would ask you to appear as MC."

You understood why, but you also worry.

And Jumin saw right through you.

"But in our home, I would much rather spend my nights with the real you."

Jumin would ask Seven to explain this to him later cause he still doesn't understand.

To say this man was excited (and exhausted) would be putting it lightly.

You were the ultimate anything. Literally, you controlled pretty much everything.

First he would ask you to give him a new car. Then, bring him Elly. Then, give Vanderwood a new maid outfit. Then-

Okay, You thought. He needed to be stopped.

There was no telling when it would end, so you just grabbed him by his jacket to slow him down.

Saeyoung was laughing, positively buzzing with excitement about what to do next. Pretty much anything was possible if you controlled the game's code, right?

You were basically untouchable.

And that filled him with such relief.

No one could take you away now, no one could possibly threaten you. His work as an agent was not a threat to someone that could rewrite their reality!

But he kind of knew this already.

After all, he was the one to finally help break through. He knew MC wasn't really real. He knew she was just something for them to see and interact with...

The real you was a lot more than he expected. In the best way possible!

Of course, he cared for MC as they were. And had this never happened, he still would've loved MC without ever getting the chance to know you.

Because he'd do anything to be with you in any capacity.

It worked out surprisingly, for the first time in his life; something went right!

"Saeyoung!" You wanted to chastise him, but found yourself giggling at his antics. It was always so hard not to.

You were caught off guard when you felt his arms wrap around you, bringing you into a soul crushing hug. Honestly, this was the tightest hug you've ever felt.

When he released you, he immediately kissed you. His hands holding your face, squishing your cheeks together.

"You're so cute!" He was extremely pleased with himself. "I didn't think you could get any cuter!"

Okay, Saeyoung.

You pull his hands off, still very worried about him.

The reaction wasn't what you expected, though you recall brief interactions with him from before. He expressed moments of... awareness.

Those were jarring, but you had thought they were part of the game until recently.

Now you knew there was so much more to this. You managed to break away from the coding shackling you to certain responses and actions.

With Saeyoung's help, naturally.

You were here now and he couldn't possibly be happier.

"Are you sure?" Your question came out of the blue. Though he knew you were agonizing over his reaction, he was determined to show you how he really felt.

"I'm married to someone with superpowers!"

"What?"

Saeyoung just sighed, knowing you needed something more than his jokes right now.

Most of the time you appreciated his humor and it helped you. He always knew how to make you laugh...

But you needed reassurance that this wasn't going to drive him away from you.

So that's exactly what he would give you.

"Hey," Saeyoung nuzzled his face between your shoulder and neck, pressing you against him in another tight hug. "I love you, you know that, right?"

"Uh- I guess." You really weren't sure how to respond, but you did your best to shake off your doubts. "I mean... I love you, I hope that's enough for you."

"More than I could hope for." He mumbled before letting you go, "Now come on, I have got to show you off to everyone."

"Saeyoung, I don't think that's a good-"

"Let's go!"

Yeah, there's no way V would grasp this one. He loves you, he just has a lot he worked through on his own.

When V could see again, and you found a way through, he finally got a glimpse of you.

The explanation was hasty, desperate to convince him you weren't trying to lie to him.

He's had some bad past experiences.

In the midst of your rushed words, V can see that you're only getting more and more worked up.

You didn't anticipate showing your real self to him like this, but now that you have-

How can you possibly explain that you're not just like her?

You might be jumping to conclusions.

You definitely are.

Yet you care so much about V and the others. You can't bare the thought that they might write you off as a liar.

From their perspective, you basically lied about who you are.

It wasn't your fault, but you were naturally an empathic person. You can understand if V thought poorly of you because of this.

And that killed you inside.

As your face turned red in frustration, your words beginning to skip over; he saw the thin glimmer of tears building in your eyes.

And he wouldn't stand for that.

V pulled you into his chest, hand on the back of your head, as he shushed you.

"It's alright, love."

He meant it to calm you down, but it only made you tense as a few stray tears ran down your face.

When he heard, and felt, your sniffling, V pulled away in worry. "I didn't want to upset you anymore, I'm sorry."

You wiped your forearm over your face before meeting his eyes. He seemed so at peace with it.

Frowning in confusion, you had to know.

"How are you okay with this?"

V didn't expect that at all, his smile faltered a bit, but only because now he was confused too.

You thought he would be upset with you. That this giant secret would tear a rift between you two.

Something you could never repair.

And perhaps it would've, but V saw how distraught you were and realized very quickly that you did truly care.

You cared what he thought of you, how this could hurt him.

He couldn't stand to see you like that and though it took him a moment to catch up, V had no doubts you didn't mean to cause any harm.

"I won't lie, at first I thought you were joking." V murmured shyly, a hand coming to rub the back of his neck. "You and Saeyoung make a lot of the same jokes."

"But... I see how scared you are."

Embarrassed, you turned your head away.

V winced at that, he was trying hard not to put you on the spot here. It was hard.

"I've known you long enough to know you wouldn't do anything to hurt me intentionally." And he meant it. "I trust you."

After that, there really wasn't much discussion about it again.

V was content with you by his side, but only if you were too. Knowing you had been unable to communicate with him before made him worry...

But, you made it clear that you chose to be with him.

That's all he really wanted to know.

The initial meeting was... less than ideal.

You had been 'MC' so long that the concept of being anything else was impossible.

Though, it was impossible normally too.

But it was Saeyoung that helped break this barrier between you and this world.

Saeran was aware of this happening, so it wasn't that much of a surprise.

However, what did shock Saeran was the change.

Specifically, MC not being real.

A concept you feared might cause Saeran to completely separate himself from you.

Since you are, basically, a stranger now. MC isn't real, everything about her was only part of the story.

Now that you have the freedom to do so, you wanted to show him who you really are. Though the fear of losing him threatened to keep you quiet.

You knew that Saeran deserved the truth.

After everything he's been through.

So, here you are. Purely you, nothing in between you anymore.

And the silence was deafening.

At first you feared that Saeran had entirely written you off. MC was fake, but he knew that already so why only now was he silent?

With all the work he and Saeyoung put into breaking this code, he had to have known that you were going to be different.

But was it a good or bad different?

Saeran was a very internalized person. He had so many issues in the past, but things had changed.

His hair was starting to go back red, he wore a sweater for fucks sake.

Would it be so terrible if you weren't the same too?

That wasn't up for you to decide and, if Saeran didn't accept you, you'd have to deal with that.

Standing here in front of Saeran though... It was dizzying. You never dared to imagine it, it was impossible! Dreaming about impossible things would only disappoint you.

Nervously, you shifted on your feet. You didn't speak, didn't dare break the tension in the air.

Saeran did.

"You can talk now, right?"

Just hearing his voice made you jump. You furiously nodded, "Y-yes, I can."

That was enough for him. With a few steps forward and a blush spreading across his face, Saeran pressed his lips to yours.

It was firm, full of expression. This was Saeran telling you it's okay, you're okay.

When he broke the kiss, you dared hope. "So... does this mean...?"

Huffing, Saeran shook his head. "You thought I was going to break up with you?"

"I-... yes?" You visibly winced as you answered him.

"You're still you. MC was only an avatar you used." Hearing it from him helped tremendously. "Why would leave you?"

He was actually a tad confused.

The reason he was silent when he could finally see you was because of how shocking the whole situation is.

It's a tad overwhelming to learn about a whole other reality existing that can control your own.

But Saeran saw for himself that you had hoped you could one day talk to them, meet them for real.

He understood what it was like being trapped, unable to reach out. Seeing that you couldn't talk to him was driving him mad ever since Saeyoung discovered the code.

Now that you're here, he wasn't planning on letting you go.

“You are a special human being”

This is an AU I thought about where Seven didn’t steal Saeran from the hospital and... well... you’ll see... This is the first part.

The Konyang University Hospital is, how the name itself says, both an university and a hospital. Here people with mental illnesses are brought and treated, and students in their last year of studies can come and learn about different illnesses and the ones that graduated can have an actual job here if they want to.

That is the case of Shin Yin, a young woman who just graduated from University. She decided to get a job at the Konyang Hospital because that’s the place where her older twin sister was hospitalized. Even though she knew her sister was safe and her teachers and colleagues would take good take of her, Yin wanted to be there for her, to be there with her, to make her feel normal and safe, to show her that she didn’t do anything wrong.

“But then… Why am I here, Yin-shi?” the short girl asked her sister with a confused look. “If I didn’t do anything wrong, why did they bring me here?...”

“Yun, listen…” the blue-eyed woman took her sister’s hands into hers and looked at her. “You are here because someone harmed you, you know that. And we just want to make the pain disappear, do you understand?” then she smiled. “You will be able to go outside without thinking about bad things. Don’t you want that?”

“I can go outside?... And no one will ever drug me… Or hit me again?...” Yun looked at her sister with hope in her now shiny eyes.

“Yes. You can go and be happy with that boy you love… What was his name?”

“Saeyoung… Saeyoung Choi…” she smiled and looked at the teddy bear next to her and at the flowers that her boyfriend brought.

“Oh, yeah! Silly me… But as I said, you will be able to do that. I promise.”

The girls spent time together and felt as if they were young again, as if they were the younger teenagers they were before college and… before the incident… But they were interrupted by a young man with red hair, golden eyes, glasses and… a robo-cat.

“You must be Saeyoung, right?” asked Yin smiling.

“Yes. And I think that you are Yin, Yun’s sister.” he said being happy that he can see his girlfriend smile again.

They got to know each other and spent time with the robo-cat that Saeyoung made… until Yin had to leave. I mean, she isn’t just a visitor, she is actually working in this place and has her own other patients too.

While walking on the corridor she met one of her colleagues who had a wound on her forehead.

“What happened?! Are you alright?” Yin asked, being worried.

“A-Ah, it’s fine don’t worry… It was my fault… I got too close... B-But it’s alright!” her colleague tried to calm her down, but her voice was actually trembling… she was hit in her head with something that could almost hurt her eye.

“It all happened because of that psychopath. That boy that was brought by the CEO of C&R. He is beyond repair, why doesn’t anyone see that?” said a nurse, the one that was helping the injured doctor.

“No patient is beyond repair… Maybe something really horrible happened to him and he just can’t accept other people… Where is he?...” asked Yin, with a calm but worried tone, she, in fact, didn’t like what the nurse said. People in this hospital are here because of something, right? Maybe the poor boy lived a life that was so awful and now he doesn’t want to experience something like that again.

“Miss Shin…” started the doctor “He is in the 838 room, but don’t go there yet. He was sedated. I am so sorry, we didn’t have a choice, but he is too violent…”

“I understand… I want to be notified as soon as he wakes up. I want to see that boy. I want to know what happened to him and I really wish to help him.” said Yin, now wanting to know and help that boy, because she knows that he deserves to be helped. “Now please excuse me, I must go.” and then she left.

Some days have passed but the young woman didn’t hear about the boy. She was both angry and disappointed because she asked nicely to be told when the boy woke up, but people just… they just didn’t do that, so she took this in her own hands and went to the director of the hospital.

“Greetings, miss Shin. May I help you with something?” he asked with a calm tone, he is a nice guy and he really wants everyone to be able to do what they want.

“Good afternoon, mister Park. I’m sorry for bothering you, but I wanted to ask you something.” said Yin while she was taking a seat.

“Of course, miss Shin. I’m listening.”

“I heard that there’s a boy in room 838. And I heard that he was violent and harmed one of the doctors. May I ask how he is now?”

The room remained silent for a few seconds, and then mister Park sighted.

“The boy from room 838… His name is Choi Saeran, a 22 years old young man. He was brought here by mister Han, Jumin Han, some weeks ago. As far as we know from his brother and mister Han, Saeran has childhood trauma, he had some weird substances in his body and now he has trust issues and paranoia. We are trying to find more things about him, but he just won’t let anyone come any closer to him. That boy… He harmed 3 doctors until now and 7 doctors gave up on him, even though they tried to help him. I am concerned and I was thinking about discharging him or moving him to an other hospital, but mister Han told not to do so. I guess they want our help, since we are the best in the country and maybe we have nice staff but… We can’t help Saeran if he doesn’t let us do so. When he is alone, he seems to be peaceful, but when anyone tries to approach him…”

“He gets violent and you have to sedate him… I’ve heard…” Yin finished his sentence and sighted. “But I want to help him. I want to be his doctor and attempt to help him. Can I do that? Please?”

The director looked at her and sighted and then he remained silent.

“Okay, I have an idea. You can visit him and befriend him, because now he has already a doctor and we can’t change that now… Plus… I want to try something new with that boy. Maybe he needs a friend, not a doctor.”

Some hours passed and now Yin was in front of the door of room 838. She took a deep breath and entered the room.

[Yin pov] I slowly enter the room and I can see a boy, a thin pale boy, with bleached hair and mint eyes. He looks like he didn’t eat in a while… Now he is sitting in his bed and he is starring at the clouds. Should I say anything? Well… I think yes.

“Hello. You’re Saeran, right?” said Yin with a calm voice.

The boy turned around suddenly and starred at her for a few seconds.

“Tch. Are you the new doctor? Don’t these idiots get tired of that?! I WANT TO BE ALONE!” he yelled at her and threw a glass of water at her injuring her arm. “Get out!”

“A-Auch…” Yin put her hand on the wound but didn’t leave yet. “I understand that you don’t want doctors, but that’s not why I’m here… I’m here only to talk with you… I am not a doctor…” she said with a calm voice and calm look in her blue eyes.

“To talk?... With me?...” Saeran looked at her being confused, but she seemed to tell the truth. The young woman wasn’t wearing a doctor outfit, she just had a blue sweater and jeans, plus, her hair was loose and she didn’t have a card on her blouse that contains the word “doctor”.

“But then… Who are you?... Why are you here?... How do you know me?...” he was more scared than before, he was thinking that she is here because of his father, because of the monster that hunted him and his brother since childhood. He didn’t want to die in the hands of his father, he just wanted a life where he could be alone because everyone disappointed him, a life where he could simply watch the clouds and eat ice cream… A life where he could be free and happy…

“Don’t be scared… It happens that my friend was your doctor and she… told me about you… But I know that you are misunderstood, Saeran… And I want to know why are you acting this way and… I want to help you… I want to help you get better… Because I think that I can understand you…” she said with a little smile on her face trying to ignore the pain in her arm.

“You… want to… help… me?... You… think that… you can understand?...” he didn’t hear that from the other doctors before so he was more confused than ever. Why does this woman think that she can help him? What makes her think that she can understand him? Nothing, right? She’s just a stranger… That’s all…

“You’re bleeding.” he suddenly said. “Go and seek help or something. You… can’t help others if you don’t help yourself first.” now the scared and angry face were gone, there was just a blank but calm face.

Yin gave him a small but honest smile. “Alright, I’ll go. But I’ll come back. I promise.” and then she left the room.

While walking to the infirmary she met her old friend, Jumin.

“Jumin? Hey! Long time no see!” she smiled.

“Hello, Yin. You’re right, we haven’t met in such a long time.” he said calmly, as his voice usually is, but her bloody arm caught his attention. “Are you alright? You should see a doctor right now.”

“Mr. Han is right… “said Jaehee. "Let's go to the infirmary…"

Yin smiled at them. "I was going to the infirmary right now. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. It's just a little thing that will get better soon."

"I understand, but is it something that a patient did to you?..." asked Jaehee, being worried.

"Oh, well…" started Yin, but she was interrupted by Jumin.

"Was it Saeran? I mean, was it Choi Saeran?"

"Jumin… I know that you are the one who brought Saeran here, but it's not his fault…" Yin was worried that something might happen to the poor boy because of her, but he couldn't leave yet… he needs help… and he wants it, but he's too scared…

"Don't worry, Yin. I'll talk to his doctor and to the director. Please excuse me." and he left.

"Don't worry, Yin… Nothing bad will happen to mister Saeran. Mr. Han and I promised to Saeyoung that his brother will be safe." said Jaehee and left as well.

[Yin pov] Did she say… Saeyoung? Wait wait wait… Saeran Choi… Saeyoung Choi… They look alike… DAMN! THEY'RE TWINS!!

After going to the infirmary, Yin rushed to her sister's salon.

"Yin-shi! Welcome!" Yun smiled at her, being happy to see her again.

"Yun, hello…" Yin hugged her sister and then let her go. "How are you feeling?"

"Great! How about you?" but the smile on her face faded when she noticed the bandaged arm. "What happened to you?! Who did this to you?!"

"Yun, stay calm… I'm fine…"

"No, you're not fine! Tell me what happened!"

Yin sighted. "You know Saeran, right? Saeran Choi…"

Yun turned pale and stared at her sister. "Saeran… did that?... Uh… Now it makes sense… That's why Jumin is here, huh?..."

"N-No, it's not because of that!!... And… seems like you know him…"

"Well, yes… I guess I can tell you what happened… Saeran was at that place where I went. He was brainwashed like me too, but for a much longer period… And much more dosage… He was taught to believe that Saeyoung abandoned him, he grew paranoid and not trusting anyone outside MintEye… It was hard for him when we took him from there… It is even harder to accept that his brother is not how he thought… But I think that he feels abandoned because he brought him here… Even though Saeyoung visits him…. I've heard that Saeran is violent to his doctors… I am afraid that they might move him to an other hospital because of this…"

"Yes, I know that they might do that… That's why I want to help him… He only needs time, Yun-hee…"

Meanwhile, Jumin was talking to the director of the hospital and Saeran's doctor.

"Mr. Han, we tried medications and sedatives, but Saeran seems to be immune to medications. We can try Electroconvulsive therapy. It is a procedure where we pass a carefully controlled electric current through the brain. It should relieve the depression and psychotic symptoms. Hopefully we can get rid of the violent behavior with it. But we need the consent to actually do that." said Saeran's current doctor.

Jumin hesitated a little and then looked at her. "Are there any risks?" he asked.

"Only a few, but they won't harm him physically and his mental health can't get worse."

"Alright. You can do it. But keep it a secret, please."

"Of course, Mr. Han. We will begin the preparations for the procedure. We promise you that nothing bad will happen."

"Thank you." then he said goodbye and left with his assistant.

[Saeran pov] I was sitting in this damn salon when suddenly the nurses came and gave me a sedative. I think that it was a stronger one because I fell asleep after that. But… Where am I now?... What is this room?... What are the things that I’m connected to?... What are these idiots doing to me?!

“Miss! Miss, we have a problem!” a nurse screamed. “The patient woke up!”

“What?! Didn’t I tell you to give him the strongest sedative?!” the doctor yelled.

“I did!... I don’t know why he woke up!”

“It doesn’t matter. We should do the procedure now! The machine is already ready!”

“But Miss…”

“Do it!”

The nurses tried to hold Saeran as the doctor approached them with the machine. Saeran was more and more scared, he didn’t understand what was happening so he tried to escape and hit the nurses wherever he could.

“Stop it, you psychopath! We’re trying to help you! And this is the only way to do so!” said his doctor with an angry tone and put the machine on Saeran’s head.

A loud scream filled the room and the hall, the electric current that passed his brain hurt Saeran more than anything, especially because he was awake. Tears were running down his cheeks and then he fell unconscious.

Some days passed, Yun was discharged and the only reason why both Yin and Saeyoung kept visiting the hospital every single day was Saeran. Yes, you may ask “But isn’t Yin working there? She should be there every day.” but no, she should come only in certain days because she has 2 patients that don’t need 24/7 support, the hospital’s management decided that she shouldn’t have too much work since it’s her first year. But unfortunately for Yin and Saeyoung… they are not allowed to see Saeran. They kept asking why but no one would answer them.

Finally, Yin thought of something. She went to the hospital in her work day and then entered Saeran’s room using her ID card, that can open any room. She found him sitting in his bed, like he usually does but… he doesn’t seem to notice that she is here.

“Saeran?... Hey…” she talked with a quiet and calm voice; she didn’t want to scare him.

Saeran didn’t move, he was starring at the wall. Yin got closer and turned him around.

“Saeran-shi… Did something happen?...”

Saeran looked at her with a blank but innocent face.

“Who is Saeran?...” he was confused.

“You are… Saeran… What happened to you?...”

“Am I?... I can’t remember who I am…”

Yin looked around the room and found some medicine that is given to people who went through ECT. She thought a little and realized what happened to him.

“Uh… You… You are a special human being… A human who was too innocent for this awful world…” she gave him a weak sad smile. And he… he smiled back. “I have to go, alright? But I’ll be back soon.”

“Alright.” the boy replied with a calm face.

When Yin arrived at the door, she felt her hand being taken in someone’s hands so she turned around her head and looked at Saeran who was holding her hand.

“Hey, Miss… When you will be back… Can you bring some ice cream?... I really want ice cream…” he said with an almost silent voice, he was afraid to ask since the nurses would yell at him and slap him, but he felt like she won’t ever yell at or hurt him.

“Of course, Saeran-shi… Which flavor do you like the most?...”

“I… I like the strawberry one…”
