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.

Hello! May I request hcs of the RFA + minor trio for a reader who is a not so obvious metalhead? At first glance you wouldn't even notice they're into that music genre, since they usually collect merch, speak and even go to concerts of kpop artists, but after listening to one of their playlists on Spotify all of a sudden they get jumpscared by a heavy metal song. (It'd be funny if before that the most cutesy, cheesy, cheerful or relaxed song was playing ><) Thanks!
Just so you know, you can make the reader fem or gn, it's up to you. ^^
a/n: omg hi, of course!! i actually love this hc as a metal and kpop enjoyer! your brain is huuuge for this. I APOLOGIZE FOR GETTING THIS DONE SO LATE!! thank you for requesting and for your patience!! i hope you enjoy! ;w; ♡

The Not So Obvious: Metalhead MC
Tumblr media Tumblr media
♫ ₊˚.♡ — JAEHEE KANG
jaehee asked you to put on some music while the two of you cleaned up the cafe, you were a bit hesitant since your music taste was a bit... different, she had heard songs you specifically put on, having your music on shuffle and not being able to curate it made you a tad bit nervous, nonetheless you played your playlist, a handful of kpop and easy going songs played putting you in a false set of comfort, until all of the sudden an heavier song played right after, your face turned bright red and you turned to see jaehee's reaction, she placed a finger on her chin while giving you a look up and down, she flashed a soft smile as she continued to clean, while locking up you asked her about it, "I was surprised, at first. But it ended up being good music to finish up to. So, thank you."
♫ ₊˚.♡ — JUMIN HAN
you decided to play some music while making yourself a snack, you were in your own little world as your playlist echoed through the house, jumin was out seeing business at c&r leaving you to have the house alone, you loved jumin but you did appreciate the time to yourself as well, as you continued making your snack you were surprised to see jumin come home so early, his arms wrapped around you as he pulled you into an embrace, you leaned into his lost in bliss until the brashness of the guitar in the next song broke you out of it, you tried to wiggle out of his grasp clearly embarrassed from the song playing, he tilts his head as you tried to squirm out of his grasp so you could turn off the song, he was clearly surprised from the shift but leans into you, he says he'd never expected this from you but was intrigued. "Seems like you still have sides of you that I haven't seen before. Please, show me all of them."
♫ ₊˚.♡ — JIHYUN KIM (V)
while lounging around with jihyun you decided to put on one your playlists, you didn't realize it was one that you didn't organize until it was too late, an heavier song made its way on the queue list, startling the both of you, jihyun jumped slightly in his seat breaking him from his daze, you apologized and quickly went to switch it, but he stopped you, holding onto your hand as he took in the song longer, he pulled you into him, his chin rested into the crook of your neck as he continued to listen, the more he listened the more the lyrics drew him in, helping him heal parts of him that he didn't know needed healing, you spent the rest of the day showing him your favorites, "There's something about these lyrics... Would you mind showing me more songs from this band?"
♫ ₊˚.♡ — SAERAN CHOI
saeran was used to hearing you listen to your favorite kpop artists on repeat, and even went with you occasionally to pick up the newest albums and such, what he didn't expect was for you to be also in metal, when you played your music while in the shower, he could help but pause in front of the door listening in to the song playing, he asked you about it when you were finished, you were a bit embarrassed but he quickly followed it up with he actually liked it, even though he was shocked, he was also pleasantly surprised, especially since he wasn't a stranger to this type of music, he used to listen to it often, "I didn't know you also liked this type of music. You should have told me... I would have showed you some of my favorites."
♫ ₊˚.♡ — SAEYOUNG CHOI
while accompanying him on a drive, saeyoung suggested that you be the one to play your playlist this time, going as far as not starting the car until you played something, knowing his determination you ultimately gave in, as the first handful of songs played your guard got brought down, joking with him between songs and red lights, until after a cutesy song ended a heavy song played immediately after, you glanced at saeyoung nervously, you tried to read his face but failed, he quickly glanced at you squinting his eyes before returning his gaze to the road, he then dramatically asks why didn't you tell him sooner that you liked this type of music before rambling about this band in particular, "How could you keep this a secret from me! I have to show you their first album, but it's not available on any streaming devices.. I promise I got it morally!!"
♫ ₊˚.♡ — YOOSUNG KIM
you had spent the better half of the night gaming with yoosung, a daily tradition you guys shared most nights, as you went to grab a quick drink between games, he decided to surprise you when you came back, he cutely posed with your cat headphones as he waited for you to return, however you forgot to pause your music as you left, you were a bit surprised as you came back to see him be so cute but he got a surprise himself as the cute song transitioned into a much dramatic and heavier song, his expression was a dead giveaway, he slipped off the headphones and handed them to you, asking if you actually listened to that, he didn't mean any harm, he was just very surprised by your duality, "Sorry, ah! I didn't mean for it to come off that way... I was just surprised. What are your favorite songs from them? Maybe, I'll like some too!"
♫ ₊˚.♡ — RYU HYUN (ZEN)
while waiting for zen to be done with promotional stuff for his newest role, you decided to pass the time by listening to music, you were lost in your own world, admittedly you were half asleep, zen eventually joined you on the sofa in the lounge room, he gently pulled your earphone out, listening in to your music, you turned to look at him surprised, even more so when the next song to play was an heavier one, he quickly shifted beside you, zen's eyes widened as he smiled at you, he was thrown off guard but in a particular way, he teased you playfully calling you his 'sweet metal babe', though he was caught off guard only knowing your love for kpop songs, he loved seeing your duality, "This is why we're perfect for each other, my love. People have this idea of us in their mind but we're completely different in reality."
♫ ₊˚.♡ — VANDERWOOD
vanderwood entered your shared apartment as an heavier song played out from your phone, his eyes slightly furrowed looking at you, not in anger but as if he was studying you, you froze in place taken aback by his surprised arrival and being in a vulnerable state, you continued your stare off before he sighed and walked over to you, he pulled you in his arms, he muttered that he didn't really expect you to be listening to music like that, especially with the appearance you kept up, he joked that maybe you should of been a secret agent, "You really don't have to be embarrassed or ashamed. It's just music, nothing too serious. I do adore that look on your face, however."

Could you do RFA+V+GE!Saeran learning their SO is a cheerleader?
Thank you so much!!! 💕
Yoosung
Yoosung didn't think much about cheerleaders before he met you. He does know about a cheer team at his uni, but he saw them perform only once or twice, thanks to his friends taking him out on another outing after his midterms. But when you tell him that you're a cheerleader? The boy is hooked. He's going to beg for you to send him a video of your performance so that he could see you in all your glory right away. There are literal stars in his eyes as he watches you jump and dance with such ease in your every move, it almost looks like you're flying. Be ready for a thousand questions after that. He is absolutely in awe of you, and he wants to learn everything! After that, he will try to attend all of your competitions without question, although his schedule will force him to miss out at times. Watching you train will motivate him to start working out as well! He might overexert himself at first, though. He wants to look cool and strong in front of you, so make sure to take him aside and reassure him about the true value of a good workout. It's not about exhausting yourself, it's about improving both your physical and mental health without hurting yourself, as well as spending some quality time together!
Zen.
Zen will be SO excited to learn about your cheerleading, he's literally vibrating with pure joy as he's listening to you talk. Think of all the workouts you could do together! He could help you on improving your stage presence, and you could help him with his dance moves for his plays. You two were practically made to be! Needless to say, your teammates will lose their minds the first time he visits you at one of your practices. But, his eyes are only on you. It feels like a dream when he sees you perform. It's not even about your tricks and dancing... (although he's certainly admiring you with pure awe in his eyes). No, it's about seeing this fire of passion in your eyes as you make just the right move or learn to perform a new trick. He knows that look all too well, and seeing it on you fills his heart with pure happiness. He will run down the bleachers and lift you up in his arms once you're done with your routine. Doesn't matter if you're embarrassed, nobody will say a word to you, since you two look way too adorable to be mad at.
Jaehee
Jaehee's reaction will be pretty mild, but you can see sparkles of interest in her eyes as she listens to you with a warm smile on her face. She will surprise you at one of your practices, bringing with her a fulfilling lunch along with your favorite drink she made for you herself! You won't even notice she's there until she taps you on your shoulder once you're done with your routine. She won't be loud or jumpy about it, but you can see her face light up with excitement as she talks about how elegant and beautiful you looked. She will make you blush senseless without even trying to flirt! With some time, your teammates will come to absolutely love her, and she's often invited to your team's outings. She's a bit embarrassed to train with you... since cheerleading is a rather graceful sport, and she's anxious about standing out or not looking pretty enough. But, secretly, she does want to try... So, it's up to you to grab her hands and reassure her that she'd make a wonderful cheerleader! You two will start with small steps, but she may pick up cheerleading as a hobby on the side thanks to you.
Jumin
Jumin will be calm and composed about this information right up until the moment he sees you in your uniform for the first time. You never saw him this flustered before! He's red in the face, stumbling over his own words and clearing his throat constantly like a crushing teenager. It's so adorable that you can't resist the desire to tease him a little. From then on, he can and will postpone his work meetings to visit your performances. You can try and reassure him that there's nothing bad about missing a performance or two, but he is stubborn when he wants to be. He watches you train and perform with the softest of smiles on his face. You're the only thing he sees, and there's not a single doubt about it. Jumin will wait for you on the sidelines with a gift after you're done performing and celebrating. He'll pull you into a warm kiss, whispering his words of admiration on your lips. It's easy to just melt into his arms, feeling safer than you've ever felt before.
Saeyoung
Saeyoung is literally your biggest fan. He is the type to be the embarrassing supportive boyfriend who creates full-on posters and pompoms to bring with him to your training sessions. He screams the loudest out of everyone, practically jumping up and down as you're just beginning to stretch before training. If you're a bit overwhelmed with that kind of support, he will lay off it without a second thought, though! Your comfort is the most important thing to him, so whether you get all giddy and giggly by seeing him chanting your name up on the bleachers, or you just want see him watching you quietly, he will adapt to your needs accordingly. But what's definitely inevitable is him designing a cheer outfit for himself, and he will look absolutely fabulous in it. Be ready to train together with him, but it consists of 70% flirting and joking, and 30% actual training. You're not complaining, though. Not when you get to gawk at him in his pretty cheer outfit.
Jihyun
Jihyun will get so awestruck once you tell him about your cheerleading that it'll get kind of embarrassing for you. This man is an artist at heart, and that means he's notorious for finding a deep beauty in even the most ordinary of things. You may think that you're merely sharing your passion with him, but for Jihyun, it's about seeing your eyes come to life as you explain to him all of the details he may find interesting, and it's about his imagination painting a mental picture of your performance. Needless to say, he's eager to see you train or perform in action. It's a bit of a weird sight, though. His gaze is so focused, he almost looks kind of stern... But it's actually because he is trying to memorize all of your features, engraving them in his mind. Why? Well, that's because he is about to paint you, of course! It'll be his surprise on the first competition of yours that he will watch on the sidelines. Be ready to get absolutely bamboozled once he brings out a huge canvas with a grin so wide, he's practically glowing like the sun itself. Jihyun may not understand much about sports and he may not join you in your workouts, but he will find a way to support you in his own artistic way!
Saeran
Saeran... Well, Saeran already knows, dear! He's a bit embarrassed to admit it, but Ray has spent many hours watching you perform or scrolling through the photos from your cheer practice throughout the years of your progress. It made him admire you so much. You looked free as a bird, especially during your high jumps. Ray didn't realize that back then, but watching you perform with such grace in your movements made him long to know what it might feel like to be just as free as you... if only for a moment. Though, after you escape from Magenta, Saeran will not bring this up out of respect. You'll tell him when you're ready, and he's more than happy to learn more about your passion, but this time, out of your own lips instead of reading stuff on the internet. Saeran is the type to completely zone out of reality when he watches you train or perform. It's almost funny since he can get so enamored by you, he won't notice some kid tripping over his feet or a passerby spilling their popcorn all over him. It's rare to see him this distracted, especially by something good! Saeran will also offer his help with your hair and makeup before your big performance. It makes him feel so giddy to help you prepare for your big moment like he's putting a tiny part of himself into this. Watch him get all blushy and giddy once your teammates compliment your new look and you tell them about your wonderful boyfriend!

The scene where Vanderwood kidnaps Saeran thinking he’s Saeyoung is so funny to me until I think about how Saeran must’ve felt having done SO MUCH to not look like Saeyoung and still getting mistaken for him :(
[Oh, you're going to love looking at this post I wrote about Unknown's tattoo and the subsequent feelings that follow.]
Do you want to know the true reason why he bleached his hair to the roots? Do you want to know why there's some pink in his hair when it doesn't appear as though he did it on purpose? Do you want to know why his dye job looks so haphazard no matter how you try to imagine how he did it?
Do you want to know why he looks so drastically different from the last time his brother saw his face? Do you want to know why he has denied himself of his reflection after all these years? Do you want to know why he breaks every mirror he ever comes into contact with?
Do you want to know why he wants nothing to do with his mirror image?
Do you want to know why he doesn't want to look like his twin anymore?

The Elixir made him feel so sick to his stomach that he couldn't stand anything in the world around him.
The only thing he could think about was the awful, immeasurable pain burning in his veins. There was nothing that could make the pain stop except going along with everything they told him. He had to just listen to everything they said, even if it didn't make sense, even if it sounded like a lie, and no matter how many times he tried to beg and plead, they ignored him and made sure that he did what they wanted him to do.
Over and over and over and over. They tortured him until he believed the twin brother he loved so much was actually a liar who abandoned him and left him to burn. 
They trained him to hate his brother so much that the thought of him made him want to vomit, and the idea of seeing his face made him want to claw his skin off.
Even the mention of his name was capable of forcing him to have a visceral reaction, and he admits to this himself to the player as they spend their evening together in the cabin, talking about the best way to handle the situation they're both in, to turn to the RFA now or to let them fend for themselves as he comes to terms with the fact that he didn't know what actually happened to his twin brother when the two of them were separated. 
They manipulate him to believe his brother is somebody who stole everything away from him to have a chance at freedom. His brother threw him away so that he could have the opportunity to live a free life without a burden clinging to him. The burden being him. So, his brother stole everything from him, and he concludes that his brother stole his appearance from him as well.
He isn't allowed to even be who he was before his brother abandoned him as far as he knows, and now he has to change himself drastically to be able to look at himself in the mirror. If he doesn't get rid of it then he's going to feel sick every time he stares at his reflection. If he doesn't get rid of it, he's never going to be able to get anything done, because it's going to set off the anger they can instilled in him.
He can't stomach looking at himself because he looks like the person he was trained to hate. His brother took his red hair from him and he can't have it anymore. He's lost something that he should have been able to have forever, and he has to erase it.
That bleach job was done haphazardly and that's why there are pink streaks left in his hair. He wanted to get rid of the color as quickly as possible and the only thing he could think of doing was styling his hair as quickly as he could burn out the horrible image he saw in the mirror every damn time he had the absolute misfortune of stepping into a place where there would be a reflective surface.
He continues to do that over and over again, which leads me to believe his hair is fried to no end. He has to do whatever he can to make sure he doesn't look like his brother, and it makes him angry that he has to do that in the first place.
He went as far as humanly possible to make himself look nothing like his brother so he could look in the mirror. As far as he believes for the longest time, he simply can't look the way he used to because his big brother stole it.
Just like his brother stole his freedom. So, to be put in a position where somebody says he looks just like his brother only fuels his fire. It makes him feel awful inside. It makes him feel disgusted. How dare anybody say he looks like the person who stole everything from him! 
The eyes are a byproduct of the elixir, but the hair is something he got rid of on his own. He got rid of it because there was no way he could get any work done if he continued to see a reflection that made him feel like he was going to explode.
How could he get work done if he was trained to hate his reflection?
He sees his brother every time he has red hair and he can't have red hair if it gets in the way of his work.
He has to get rid of it so he doesn't feel sick to the point of rage. 
So, does it make sense now why he feels such a visual reaction whenever somebody says he looks like his brother? When you tell him he looks like his brother, the only thing he can think about is how his brother took his freedom away from him and his appearance by extension, and if you point out what he feels was taken from him, it's going to set off a chain reaction of responses that were manipulated into him over years of long and horrible torture.
It's no wonder he lashes out the way he does when somebody says those words. 
You know, I think the most difficult thing when it comes to SE Saeran is the fact that I have never believed for a second that he dyed his hair back. His brother probably, more likely than not, wouldn't let him near anything that could be hazardous to his health by himself after the attempts he made on his life. If he told him that he wasn't allowed to be alone with material that could help him continue to bleach his hair, he would give up on doing his hair ever again.
He wouldn't bother to do it again because he doesn't want to be babysat. He's been robbed of his autonomy enough, and if you tell him he can't do it, he's just not going to do it. Saeyoung means well, he truly does, but Saeran has a long road of recovery ahead of him... in a world where he's been left apathetic to everything.
I don't think he goes into rooms that have mirrors if he can help it, even after months of being free from Mint Eye. If he does, he goes out of his way to keep his head down low so he doesn't have to see the red hair looking back at him. It's a sensitive subject for him in every sense of the word. 
I also don't think he interacts with anybody that's in the RFA. I know a lot of people write about him becoming friends with the members as he gets used to being around them, but I can't see it happening, That just doesn't pan out for him.
Not only would he be struggling with the guilt he carries about what he did to all of them, this does not even include the fact that Yoosung and Jumin remind him of Rika and V in a way that makes his stomach knot, he would also know that they are nice to him because he’s Saeyoung’s twin. It's not like any of them are going to go out of their way to be his friend because they want to get to know him, they would be doing it for the sake of his brother, and that's not exactly a good way to make friends.
That's the way he would see it. 
He doesn't want to be an extension of his brother. You know, the way that they survived was always living by the words “you are me and I am you”; But, right now in their lives as it stands? Those words are... twisted up and tangled with pain that is hard to fathom. Yet, they're the words that Saeyoung uses to bring SE Saeran back from the end of life and death when they talk.
[Now would be a great time to point to my post on Parentification, and how Saeyoung struggles to fall out of the role of a parent to his brother.]
Saeran is a character who wants to be an individual. But, since he is a twin, it's a complicated song and dance to find his sense of self. It's going to take even longer because he spent his entire life being an extension of his brother to be able to survive, and being what Rika wanted him to be. Even in that brief time when he was staying with Rika and V, he wasn’t able to find himself, not wholly.
The only things that he was able to learn about himself were that he loved flowers and he liked to bake. Those are interest that he keeps no matter how far he goes through what they put him through, but he wasn't able to find much out about himself but those two facts, it's good that he was able to have those, but he doesn't know who he is outside of being what others want him to be, and the two things he's ever enjoyed.

Saeran as husband
Headcanons
⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾ ⋆⁺₊⋆
Tumblr media
● Your wedding with Saeran was outdoors in a small forest and he couldn't help but get emotional so he cried a lot, you were worried at first when he fell into tears seeing you in a wedding dress but then you just thought it was cute, without noticing you also found yourself in tears of happiness and it didn't take Yoosung long to get emotional about the marriage and start crying together with you two while Saeyoung laughed kindly and Jaehee offered him a tissue.
● Rfa gave gifts, Yoosung gave matching handmade crochet clothes, Jaehee gave a tea set, Jumin gave a trip and Zen...drinks for the honeymoon.
● You and Saeran spent the honeymoon in a place with lots of nature, every moment was sweet and memorable for both of you.
● Your house was lovely and modest, there was a huge garden where you both planted flowers and food.Saeran taught you the language of each of the flowers in the garden with a smile while you two planted them.
● He somehow has a praise kink, he loves when you compliment him on whatever it is, if for example you compliment him on how adorable he looked wearing a flower crown (he won't want to take it off anymore lol).
● On rainy days he loves to go outside so you two can sit and cuddle watching the rain (he will make sure to warm you up when you go inside).
● Saeran is a total househusband and organized person, he takes household chores very seriously, be it cooking, ironing or cleaning. Saeran always wants to make sure the house is clean, smelling nice (don't be surprised if he decides to put flower scents around the house) and comfortable for you (you always try to help him even though he says it's not necessary).
● Did I mention he has praise kink?
● He likes to cook, he loves to make recipes with the fruits of the gardens that you and him have planted in the garden, Saeran will be the chef in the kitchen and you will be his assistant.
● There are times when Saeran will purposely ask you to taste the dessert that are preparing on a spoon just so he can get your face dirty and see your reaction, thus creating a little war of who gets dirtier with food in the kitchen.
● He loves to match clothes with you. Many of your outfits are matching, this includes matching pajamas and halloween costumes (On halloween you dressed up as a butterfly hunter and he dressed up as a butterfly, you two have also dressed up as the wolf and the little red riding hood).
● He usually sleeps holding your hand, and if you have trouble sleeping, he will learn several lullabies just to sing to you.
● He still struggles to regulate his sleep, so when you both can't sleep at all you two just decide to do a movie theater home in the middle of the night.
● Saeran had the habit of not eating much, so you always made sure to prepare something for him and thanks to that, in time he made an effort to eat better (only to hear your compliments and see you smile proudly when see that he didn't skip any meals).
● You two have a pet rabbit that is probably was named some flower (obviously Saeran's idea).

Quality Time
Tumblr media
✦ Written for Jumin Week 2023
✦ Jumin x Reader
✦ Words: 1110
Tumblr media
There have been no shortage of luxurious places you and Jumin have stayed at together since getting married. You have become quite comfortable with the level of lavish luxury being in his world has brought you, there's little left that you think could surprise you.
Jumin, however, has one last secret hidden up his sleeve that he has apparently been keeping until he felt like the time was right.
You had both been very busy lately, occupied with work for the RFA and the company, and having to spend some time apart because of his business trips. Coming home to an empty house and eating alone had become more common occurrences. You wake at different times and get very little time to enjoy together every day. Maybe a few words as he slips into bed - you're half asleep already - or a quick I love you as you cross each other in the hall.
While neither of you mention it, you know you're both feeling the effects of being apart. You had been daydreaming about romantic dinners and evenings in the gardens and that lovely weekend you had spent together a few months ago at the vineyard. There was so much you wanted to tell him that you simply didn't have the time to.
Little did you know that Jumin had spent his time at work - between the endless meetings - planning a solution to your problem.
You wake up one morning to find him in the kitchen, fully dressed and sipping on a mug of coffee. It ls long past when he was supposed to leave for work, though he doesn't seem to be too concerned.
"Good morning, Jumin?"
"Oh, good morning, Darling. I hope I didn't wake you."
"No, you didn't, I'm just wondering why you're still home. I thought you had a big day at work today?"
"Don't worry about that, it's all taken care of. Did you sleep well?"
You nod slowly.
"That's good, you were up working till late last night. Now that you're up, I have something I've been wanting to tell you." He keeps his tone light, airy, but watches you attentively as he tells you the next part. "I have taken the next two weeks off of work and have planned a trip for us. It has been too long since we have had time to pay attention to simply each other."
He has found that he greatly enjoys catching you off guard like this, finding little ways (or big ones) to surprise you. You're still in your pyjamas, eyes bleary and eyeing his mug of coffee enviously.
“...What?” Your voice is still a bit hoarse from sleep.
He chuckles and holds his arms out, inviting you closer to him. Instinctively, you tuck yourself against him and gratefully take his coffee after he offers it to you. You take a sip, processing his words again.
“And where are we going?”
“I thought I would show you our island. It's a travesty that in all the time we have been married I haven't yet been able to enjoy it with you.”
Your eyes widen with surprise and he beams. It's very cute. Definitely worth waiting to surprise you with like this.
“Excuse me? Our island?”
“Oh, hadn't I told you?" He knows he hasn't. "My father gifted it to me as a birthday present many years ago. I have never gone to visit but I hear it's beautiful."
There's a glint in his eye that tells you he's enjoying your reaction. But he's also dead serious. You hesitate for a moment, weighing out all the work you still have to do, and then it hits you. A private island. Alone, with Jumin, for two weeks. The work will wait.
“Well, I think I should get packing, then!”
He laughs, a proper, hearty laugh as you pull him with you back to your room to start packing, all your earlier tiredness forgotten.
✧✦✧
The island is lush, covered in countless flowers, trees and bushes in a sea of green. You couldn't dream of counting all the different species of plant you've spotted since arriving on the island. You had flown in (by helicopter!) just a few hours after Jumin had informed you about the trip, and it still barely feels real.
You stay at a house with big airy windows and a porch facing the ocean. It's a world away from the penthouse and the fancy hotel suites you have stayed at before.
It takes you some time to get used to the silence. Save for a few staff who you quickly get to know, there is nobody else on the island. No city noises just outside your door, nothing calling your attention except for Jumin (and, oh, he's quite demanding).
You fall asleep to the sound of the ocean waves outside your window and warmth of Jumin's arms around you. You both sleep in in the mornings, Jumin's strict internal clock finally breaking after a few days. Both of you wake up wrapped in a mess of sheets and limbs, and it takes some time to summon the energy to extract yourselves to go for breakfast (or is it brunch by that time?). You take turns preparing food and enjoy it together on the terrace, still half-dressed.
Sometimes, you take a few steps off the porch and spend your afternoon on the beach. Lounging side-by-side, reading books and admiring the view. While under the sun, time seems to pass very slowly.
You have discussions over lunch about arbitrary topics, content to pick each others’ brains for a while. His intelligence has always been one of his most attractive qualities to you. You ask him questions about countless topics and he answers them one by one, pleased to be able to satiate your curiosity.
Jumin is nothing if not an excellent conversationalist. You have made it your mission to find a topic on which he isn’t at least a little familiar. It's not going well so far. He asks you plenty of questions of his own, and listens to your answers attentively. He has told you countless times how much you have taught him, how much your perspective on all things means to him.
You share dinner over a bottle of wine and a CD of some music you both enjoy – the player a relic from long before either of you ever visited the island. It's better than anything you could have imagined. His face lit up by candlelight, sharing a delicious meal with nothing to do but enjoy each other's company.
To date, it's the best surprise he has ever given you.

Twisted Wonderland Diasomnia’s Reaction To Anya Like MC’s Diasomnia Uniform + Anya Like MC Goes to VDC With Her New Uniform
Spoilers for book 5!
Hey everyone! Latte here! Someone requested this idea. Well actually they wanted to see Diasomnia’s reaction to Anya Like MC’s Diasomnia uniform. I added an extra scenario or scenarios to it. Unfortunately Tumblr decided to delete their request… I really hate this Tumblr bugs… Anyway I hope you all enjoy this!
Tumblr media
“MC do you have a minute?”
“Yes. What happened Mr. Crewel?”
“I just wanted give this to you.”
Crewel handed you a black and green colored package.
“What is in it?”
“Why don’t you open and find out?”
“Okay.”
You opened the package and couldn’t believe what you just saw.
“This is… This is a Diasomnia uniform! Is it for MC?”
“Of course. I also added black and green cone shaped hair pins. You always wear that kind of hair pins right? I thought that you would want it to be part of your uniform.”
“Mr. Crewel made this uniform?!”
“Yes. Did you like it?”
“MC loved it! Thank you so much Mr. Crewel! MC will wear this and show it to everyone!”
You got out of the classroom and ran to Diasomnia.
In your room you put on your new uniform and new hairpins. They fit perfectly to you.
Then you got out of the room and went to the lounge.
“Chi chi! Big brother! Look!”
“What’s wrong MC? Oh? Is that..”
“MC’s Diasomnia uniform! Ta-da! Do I look cool?. Mr. Crewel gifted this to me!”
“…Of course! My daughter is the coolest in Twisted Wonderland!” (I am so glad that I lived enough to see this!..But… I don’t think my heart can handle this!)
“What do you think big brother? Do I look cool?”
“Of course you look cool. You are my little sister and a Diasomnia student after all.” (My sister can’t be this adorable… She is going to give everyone a heart attack..)
“Hehe! Thank you! MC will show this to others now!”
You proceeded to show your uniform to entire Diasomnia.
“Ta-da! Do I look cool?”
“Yes! Little lady is the coolest lady in NRC!”
“Ta-da! Tsunotarou look! Do I look cool?”
“This uniform fits you perfectly child of a man. You look so cool.”
“Ta-da! MC’s Diasomnia uniform!”
“You look so cool MC!”
After Diasomnia you decided to show it to entire school.
“Ta-da!”
“The cuteness..! Mind if I take a photo of you and post it on Magicam MC?” (This photo can cause heart attacks though… Oh well! Not my fault if they have one!)
“Sure big brother Cater!”
“MC’s new uniform! Ta-da!”
“…So you just came here to show your uniform and not for making a contract?”
“Shrimpy looks different today!”
“Ta-da! Do I look cool?”
“Not bad for a herbivore. Now go away. I want to sleep.”
“Ta-da!”
“Congratulations MC! You have always wanted your own Diasomnia uniform right? I am so glad that you have one now!”
“Hehe! Thank you big brother Ortho!”
“Do I look cool?”
“Oh… I see this little potato has her own Diasomnia uniform now. It looks very well made too. It looks good on you MC.”
“MC’s new uniform! Ta-da!”
“Whoa! So cool! Jamil you gotta see this!”
Needless to say you never took of your uniform unless you go to bed.
So you also went to VDC with your Diasomnia uniform.
Your father, your big brother, Malleus and Sebek also came with you. They all wore their Diasomnia uniform too.
Of course when RFA students saw a little girl with Diasomnia uniform they thought that you were cosplaying.
“Your costume looks so cute! Mind if I take a photo?”
“Costume…? This is MC’s Diasomnia uniform! Not a costume!”
“You want to be a NRC student when you grow up? That’s cute but I think you should aim for RFA instead.”
“MC is a NRC student!”
“But you are still a child. You need to grow up first little one.”
“MC is not lying!”
“May I ask what is going on here?”
“Chi chi!”
“Here is your cotton candy MC. Sorry there was a long line so I came a little bit late.”
“It’s okay chi chi!”
“Now… Who you might be?”
“…I am from RFA.”
“Oh I can see that. What were you talking with my daughter?”
“That’s…”(Daughter?!)
“He called MC’s uniform a costume. And he didn’t believe me when I said that I was really a NRC student…”
“He did what?!”
Suddenly Sebek appeared in front of you.
“You had the audacity to insult little lady?! That’s unforgivable! Little lady I apologize for not coming earlier!”
(Somehow I feel like something bad is going to happen…)
“Calm down Sebek. I think there must be a misunderstanding here. Maybe this big brother was only joking with you right?”
He gave the RFA student a death glare.
“Right?”
“H-Hey! Are you really her father?! Come on now you two don’t even look alike!”
“MC is his daughter and that’s the truth!”
Then Silver appeared.
“Sorry everyone. It was so crowded I got lost a little. I also can’t find Malleus anywhere-“
He stopped when he saw Lilia angry. Which is never a good sign.
“Father. What’s going on here?”
“And you are his son? Yeah no way that’s true. I think that the costumes are good though.”
“Watch what you say lowly RFA student!”
“They are not a costume! And Silver is really my big brother!”
“Watch your words young man. You have no right to insult my family.”
“Family? And you expect me to believe this?”
(We don’t look like a family? I don’t think that’s true at all. I didn’t like this big brother. I want to leave.)
“Chi chi. MC want-“
You stopped when you saw the look on Lilia’s face.
You never saw him like this before. He looked furious.
“Listen here young man. I won’t just stand there and watch you insult my family.”
His eyes started to glow green.
“You have a nerve to mess with my daughter and my son. I hope you are prepared for the consequences.”
“Lilia-sama! You shouldn’t! Please calm down!”
(I never saw chi chi like this before..)
You slightly jumped at the sound of thunder.
“MC. Get behind me. Father! We are at VDC. It’s prohibited to start a fight here!”
“Lila. Stop this right now.”
“Tsunotarou!”
“Ma-Malleus Draconia?!”
“Yes that’s me. Anyway Lilia you should really stop this.”
“Malleus. This RFA student right here insulted my family multiple times. Do you think I should forgive him?”
“Absolutely not. But I don’t think you should punish him now. Besides… MC looks scared.”
“…What?”
The green glow disappeared when Lilia looked at your slightly shaking form.
He felt absolutely ashamed of himself.
“MC… I am sorry… I kinda lost myself for a second…Are you afraid of me?” (I couldn’t control my temper… What kind of role model am I?…)
“…MC is not afraid of chi chi! MC hates that RFA big brother so MC wants to leave and go to the main stage!”(MC thinks that chi chi is right to get angry! MC hates that student! Hope we never see him again!)
“I see. Okay then! You heard her everyone! Let’s go to the main stage!”
(Chi chi’s mood changed instantly.)
Lilia lifted you up and started to carry you.
“Move RFA student! Little lady wants to go to the main stage!”
RFA student didn’t say anything and moved out of the way.
Malleus gave him a last death glare before leaving.
“You sure arrived late Malleus.”
“It was very crowded…. I am glad that I found you guys just in time.”
“Chi chi I didn’t know that you could make your eyes glow green! Can MC do that too?”
“I am sorry that you had to see this MC.”
“That big brother was so rude! MC hopes we never see him again!”
“Indeed.”
“Oh my! Hello little girl!”
You saw a teenage girl looking at you with a huge smile.
“Hello.”
“I loved your costume!”
“It’s not a costume. It’s my Diasomnia uniform.”
“Really?! I am so sorry! So you go to NRC?” (She must be a prodigy or something. It’s amazing!)
“Yup! Just like chi chi and big brother!”
“So you are his father?”
“That’s right.”
“And who is her big brother?”
“I am.”
“I see. You are so lucky little girl! What a cute family you three are! Can I take a photo of you three?”
“Can Tsunotarou and Sebek join too? They are my best friends!”
“Of course they can! Okay then! Say VDC!”
“VDC!”
You really liked the performance of Vil’s group.
You were disappointed when you learned that Neige’s team won.
“MC thinks that it’s unfair…”
“Right? I honestly think that NRC was much better.”
“Chi chi. Thank you very much for today. MC had so much fun!”
“Your welcome.” (But I really scared her today. I need to be more careful to be a perfect role model for her.)
“Chi chi. MC thinks that you are the perfect role model! I also think that you are the best father in the world! I love you chi chi!”
“….I love you too my daughter.”

RFA x Mc watching Titanic
So TikTok is filled with edits of Jack and Rose and gosh - I loved this Movie so much, that I even had a Titanic Shirt and a Mug of it. And a pillow and a poster. Okay now - enjoy the first Headcanon after my Hiatus.
Tumblr media
Jumin
,,Blankets, Snacks, Drinks. We have everything!“ you clapped your hands as Jumin led you into the private rented cinema.
It was the 25th anniversary of the movie Titanic and even though you watched it a few times back then when you were younger, Jumin Han never did.
However, this was going to change and you were excited to get his reaction.
Well, you couldn’t check on him at all because you were bawling.
You were holding his hand and his other arm was holding your waist as you tried to muffle your sobs.
Seeing so many people not being able to escape made your heart tremble.
Jumin was rubbing your palm, trying to calm you down, but the movie made you always react the same - crying like crazy over fictional characters.
Jumin was still silent, eyes set on the screen.
No reaction was shown until old Rose went to sleep and Rose and Jack met again at the stairs.
Only then you could hear his sobs when you gasped for air.
He was crying.
Thick tears were rolling down his cheeks.
You quickly wiped off his tears, looking deep into his eyes.
The music was still playing loudly but you could hear his words.
,,If the ship we’re on was ever to sink, I would react like him. I would gladly drown in ice cold water for you,“ he confessed, making you sob even harder.  
Zen
,,I don’t think I will like it,“ he mumbled when you pulled him towards the entrance of the cinema.
It was in the movies - how couldn’t you go?
You fell in love with Leonardo DiCaprio aka Jack when you were fifteen and now you could finally watch him on the big screen.
Even in -
,,4D?! Hyun, we have to!“ you gasped and before he could say anything, you paid for the tickets.
Zen afterwards insisted on buying popcorn and drink and since this was a long movie, he bought the biggest bowl.
Sweet popcorn of course.
The movie began and you remembered just how much you loved the sight when Jack stood behind Rose.
Her thinking she was flying… just everything was perfect.
,,It‘s sinking,“ he gasped, Rose and Jack were holding onto the railing, the blonde woman let go and crashed into darkness.
Suddenly you heard someone sniffling and - it was Zen.
He sobbed and tried to not let the whole cinema hear at that point that he was devastated.
,,He‘s dead, isn’t he?“ he asked you, after Rose tried to shake him awake.
Now both of you were bawling your eyes out.
No one was as loud as you guys were.
Luckily, both of you thought about bringing sunglasses with you in the middle of February because your eyes were swollen red, tears smuggled your mascara and you guys just looked hilarious.  
Yoosung
,,I don’t want to ugly sob in the cinema,“ you begged Yoosung who was just purchasing tickets online for the cinema.
He laughed, trying to tell you that it would be alright, but he never watched the movie so how could he know?
He was wrong.
He was the first of the both of you to sob.
He was the one who actually sobbed into your arm.
,,There would have been enough space for him!“ He argued on the way to the car. Yoosung was holding his red glasses as he tried wiping off his tears.
Your lips were still trembling from the hiccups as you shook your head.
,,There wasn’t enough space. It would have-”
,,So you would have let me die in the cold water if it was us?“ he asked you.
With disbelief you smacked his shoulder.
,,I wouldn’t need you to survive now let’s go to dinner,“
Well, the both of you had the same discussion over and over until you even searched up a documentary if Jack would have fit on the door.
Jaehee
,,Oh, that’s the movie everyone’s talking about,“ Jaehee said after she came from the shower, getting under the blankets in your bed.
,,Yeah, Titanic. I remember how much I cried after seeing Leonardo DiCaprio in another movie, happy that he at least was alive,“ you chuckled to yourself.
,,Why, does he die?“ she asked you.
With that you knew that you just spoiled her and that she never watched Titanic.
Business was booming at the moment, and for Valentine's Day you had so many reservations that you feared the cakes for that day wouldn’t be enough.
Still, you decided to keep that one day in the week closed and used that free day to drag Jaehee to the cinema in Seoul and watch Titanic with her.
She guessed that upon hearing of his death, she wouldn’t be that sad.
But she was so wrong.
Seeing how much they loved, how impossible it seemed, intense and deep their love was, and how big the loss afterwards was, Jaehee crumbled.
She sobbed as she held your hand and couldn’t imagine that someone other than Zen would have such an impact on her.
However, Jack had.
Saeyoung
,,As if I am paying for an old movie,“ Saeyoung laughed as he hacked god only knows what and who.
He managed to get the movie started on the TV and honestly you didn’t care as long as you could rewatch the movie.
Saeran at first wanted to literally piss off into his room but you - despite it being Valentine's Day - didn’t allow him.
Instead, Chinese Food was ordered, the three of you sat down on the red couch, you got a blanket and tissues, and you all watched the movie.
The twins for the first time and you for the fourth?
The movie began and everyone was quickly absorbed into it.
You were almost laying on Saeyoung who was tickling your arm while Saeran sat next to you, his feets over yours.
At some point both of them got rather emotional.
,,They’re just kids…aren’t they all the same?“ Saeran asked you, his eyes showed pure…sadness.
,,She‘s going without him! She‘s saving herself!“ Saeyoung gasped when Rose was about to get saved with her mother.
You stayed silent…and when she jumped out…
The real sobs were beginning now.
For the three of you.
Until the movie finished.

Yoosung with MC who feels guilty about him getting hurt and going blind in one eye "for her" how do you think he'd deal with the situation and make her feel better
i love yoosung sm :(
you've been pulling away for yoosung for a few weeks now. it started with declining one or two of his calls and lying about being busy, but it progressively got worse. you weren't speaking to him as much, and you rarely saw him outside of chatrooms. (it got to the point of other members noticing and asking you if everything was alright between you and yoosung. you always lied and said yes because how could you explain the sheer amount of guilt that you felt? about how every time you saw him or spoke to him, you're reminded of the fact that you caused him to lose an eye? no, it was better to avoid him. better to pretend everything was fine.) there was also a part of you that was just scared. scared that he hated you, or that he’d grow to regret ever meeting you and you just…could not handle that.
it all came to a head when you pressed ignore on his fourth call. it’d been a long day and there was no way you could hide your emotions if you spoke to him. yoosung had this way of seeing through you, of picking up on your emotions no matter how hard you tried to hide them. whether it was because he knew you down to your bones, or because he was generally a very empathetic person, you weren’t sure. but you were sure that you couldn’t afford to speak about the guilt. if he affirmed it, if he told you it was, in fact, your fault, you don’t know what you’d do.
half an hour after you ignored yoosung’s last call, there was a knocking at your door. “it’s eight p.m.” you muttered to yourself, frowning. you were cautious as you approached the door, and with a mug in your raised hand, you flung open the door to yoosung with red rimmed eyes. he froze for a moment and looked between you and your hand with a raised eyebrow. “what? it’s late. i wasn’t expecting anyone.” you stepped aside and set the mug down as he walked in. you watched as he turned to face you; the circles under his eyes were noticeably darker and his hair was greasier than usual. the guilt began to eat away at your insides the longer you stared at him. was he not taking care of himself?
“can we…can we talk?” yoosung asked, and upon hearing the desperation in his voice, you had no choice but to nod. there was a moment of silence and you could tell that yoosung was forcing himself to gather the courage to speak. his mouth opened and closed a few times before he finally groaned in frustration. “are you trying to break up with me? you ignore almost all of my calls and barely talk to me in the messenger, but you’ll answer everyone else the second they text you. did i— did i do something?”
“no! yoosung, you did nothing. i didn’t. god, i didn’t even think how this would look to you.” you muttered the last part to yourself, but yoosung heard you. “yoosung, i promise you i’m not trying to break up or anything like that. i love you.” you averted your gaze from his and looked down before you spoke again, not wanting to see his reaction. “you lost your eye because of me, yoosung. i just. i feel so guilty every time i talk to you.” there was silence after you spoke, and a few seconds later you felt him gently grab your hand. “hey, no. the hacker is the one who did this, not you.” “but—“ “you’re not responsible for anyone else’s choices, my love.” yoosung interrupted you, and gently cupped your cheek. he gave a small smile as you looked up at him. “his actions are his own, just like how my actions are mine and yours are yours. i chose to go there with seven, fully knowing the risks. for you and for him and for the rfa.”
“…i’m sorry.” you said, reaching forward to hug him. “i was just scared that maybe you would’ve thought the same thing. that you blamed me too and wouldn’t want to be with me anymore.” you dropped your forehead to his shoulder as he held you, and the longer you were in his embrace the more you felt all the stress and worry and guilt melt away. “so talk to me about it next time. don’t just ignore me and ice me out like this. i love you, and i’m here to help you talk through these things.”

Unknown is full of rage. Of course, that isn’t anything out of the ordinary. Most of the time, anger is the only concrete emotion that he can name and separate from the constant pressure in his chest, the blend of feelings which converge inside his rib cage whether he wants them there or not. Rage, however, he is perfectly content with feeling. Rage, however, he will cling to, ride as far as it will take him as he chases down revenge. Rage, however, bleeds at the edges, frays like old fabric, the ends of the jeans he wore as a teenager. Rage, however, covers all of his bases in every situation but this one. Until now, it’s been good enough. 
He refuses to register the something else that makes his heartbeat speed up as he watches you through the webcam. This is Unknown’s favorite sight, a close second in his fantasies to the mental image he has conjured up of the moment when he finally gets his revenge. Your hair is wet, messy, uncombed; you’re wearing a baggy old T-shirt, something from some event you went to years ago, in a color that does not flatter you, along with loose athletic shorts that leave absolutely everything to the imagination. Your posture is bad and your face is blotchy, scrubbed raw with one of the many products you use on your skin but not cared for in the slightest after that. He watches your reactions to the seemingly meaningless images on your screen, snippets of short videos or memes which require social context that he does not possess.
Unknown is the only one who gets to see you like this, the only person in the world who is party to such intimate and private moments. Sure, the RFA members get to see your selfies, highly choreographed, and in some cases even edited to make them more artful, more appealing. Your coworkers and classmates, from whom you have been absent for several days now, see you in uniform or in your best outfits, carefully curated to fit whatever image you need to portray. Unknown, however, is entitled to look at you when you think that no one’s watching, the only time that you are truly, openly yourself. He enjoys the rawness of it, the roughness, the glimpse into your innocent little heart as you giggle about inane nonsense alone in a stranger’s bedroom. 
Most of all, however, he enjoys the power. The control, the fact that he can see you whenever he wants, that he’s the only one who can watch you this way. That redhead monitors the living room camera, probably thinking about how badly he wants to use and manipulate you as he watches you go about your day. And you’re well aware of that, of course; Unknown has seen you fixing your hair in the bedroom mirror, laboring for minutes on end choosing your daily outfits, presumably to ensure that they are to Luciel’s liking. You poor, stupid thing— can’t you see that you’re being taken advantage of? Can’t you see that you’re going to get in trouble, going to get hurt, going to get strung along and toyed with until that liar inevitably tires of you? But maybe you’re scared of that already. Maybe you have the wherewithal to sense that you are in danger all the time here, that Luciel is not to be trusted, that he could get rid of you with a few keystrokes, if that were really what he wanted. Either way, even Luciel has no way of looking into your bedroom, no way of seeing you in this vulnerable state. Unknown made sure when he hacked your webcam that it would be off-limits to anybody else. That’s something reserved for him, as proof that he is the only person who will ever truly possess such a useful tool.
That’s what you are to Unknown, among other things, of course: a tool, primarily. Your job is to be obedient, to follow the instructions that you’re given and see to it that the RFA hosts another party. You’re a pawn, a set of eyes that Unknown can use to gain access to the inner workings of the RFA. In how they talk to you, he learns even more about their thoughts and motivations, how best to lure them to Magenta and welcome them to the paradise. Of course, they’re all horrible people, and they’re all too willing to take advantage of your sudden arrival and your giving nature. Things might not end very well for you if you’re foolish enough to pursue a romantic relationship with any of them. 
At least Unknown wants to offer you some compensation, to bring you to paradise as a reward for doing your work. Granted, your job is easy enough that a computer could complete it, but, then again, computers are neither cute nor entertaining. Unknown chose you for a reason, after all: just as he predicted, you caught the RFA members off guard. All of them were too busy drooling over you to think very hard about the implications of having their app hacked by a malicious outsider. But Unknown would be lying if he said that your looks weren’t his type, too. Well, he reminds himself as he watches you, the world has no shortage of idiots, no shortage of people who take direction well and lack the instincts for basic self preservation, but ultimately, when he picked you, Unknown was choosing somebody he’d want by his side following the completion of his task. 
He likes to look at you, for what it’s worth— and he finds himself chuckling under his breath at the messages you send to those liars in the chat. You’re a fool, of course, and it’s hard to feel bad about luring you into that apartment when you crossed a city to get there and typed the code in almost entirely of your own volition. It goes without saying that Unknown has no intention of changing any of his plans on your account— no, you’re going to do your job, and then he’s going to save you, and then you’re going to thank him for delivering you from that hellhole of an on organization, and then, finally, finally, he’s going to get his revenge. His rage still guides him, still drags him around on a leash much tighter than the one that his Savior holds, still pushes his fingers to pound against the keys even when his body is screaming at him to throw in the towel and eat something or sleep— that much is never going to change. But these days, as he studies you, Unknown also feels… something else, a sentiment with no name, one that floats inside his stomach and flutters in his chest, one that makes him seriously consider abandoning his work for an hour or so to liberate you from that place prematurely.
Well, whatever, he thinks, minimizing the window that’s been showing him the CCTV feed from the Savior’s old apartment. After he brings you to Magenta, he’ll be able to watch you all he wants— for now, however, Unknown has a job to do, and he can’t put his plans on hold for anything or anyone.

So I have kind of a weird sprite analysis hypothesis.
So I see a lot of stuff about the Von Karma siblings both grabbing their shoulders like Manfred does. But looking again I think for Miles it's noticeably different.
Tumblr media
Here's Manfred
Tumblr media
Here's Franziska
Tumblr media
And then here's Miles.
So Franziskas is basically a spot on mirror of her dad. But Miles isn't grabbing his shoulder he's grabbing his arm. It's also notably his left arm he's grabbing where the other two are grabbing their right. I don't think these are actually the parallel were treating them as.
There's also what they're used for. Fran and MVK have the shoulder grab as a damage Sprite but with Edgeworth it's something he frequently does during conversation. So I went through and looked at when he uses this sprite and I found something interesting.
Pre the Reval of what happened during DL6, It's almost always involving how he perceives himself to be failing to live up to MVKs standards (and his own) as a procecutor or when talking about his connection with Phoenix or Gregory. Now we can take that as repressed gay thoughts or we can take it as being ashamed of his familial and platonic connection with, respect for, and losses to defense attorneies who MVK does not think highly of at all.
Then after that it's often when he's scared Phoenix or other people are going to think less of him or that they already do. Like how he's scared in RFA about how his car being the crime scene is implicating him in the murdering or how he thinks Lana has betrayed him.
Then in addition to this during FMT it's used very liberally whenever MVK, his practices or what he turned Miles (and also Franziska) into are brought up. It's also used a lot in reference to Celeste which I take as being an issue with bring up suicide given he's talking to a man who is very angry that he just faked his own and the similarities he feels between himself and adrian. It's also used involving de killer and also Maya's Kidnapping. Initially I thought they just needed a serious sprite but looking more into it, I think this is another instance of him being scared of Phoenix's reaction. He knows during these conversations that Engarde hired De Killer. He knows that this is going to hurt Phoenix like hell when he find out. He's also probably scared he'll get the blame. This compounds when he finds out about Maya because now Phoenix's best friend is likely to die because he will probably win this trial. And he's worried that if the rescue attempt doesn't work that blame is also on him.
BTTT is more of the same. Sprite is used when he is directly preventing Phoenix from accessing Maya. Also often in reference to Dahlia and specifically the fact he found out about the trial where she was found guilty. Meaning he knows something about Phoenix he wasn't directly told.
So with this there's some information we can gather. This is something Edgeworth does when he's feeling guilty and scared of retribution. It is fundamentally linking his guilt and fear. But what triggers these emotions changes throughout the games. In the first game it's guilt of not being a true Von karma. In the later games, it's guilt of his previous actions, and also guilt whenever he has to do something that might upset someone he cares for or respects. Now for anyone who has anxiety caused by abuse, this probably looks deeply familiar. It does to me at least. Edgeworth sees any situation where he thinks he's at fault, no matter how small or not to blame he is, and reacts in fear. He is terrified of messing up in any way. He scared that any slip up will be ment with retaliation. This also lines up with what we know about Von Karma. Perfection is an impossible standard and Investigations shows that MVK would verbally abuse him whenever he failed to meet it.
Now I want to say, I don't think this is Edgeworth not fully deconstructing his perfection complex. I think he has. This is clearly a trauma response. It's instinct.
Now I have 2 theories about the action itself. One I'm certain of, the other is a little more head canon crackpot scheme.
Options 1: this is a self soothing thing. He's literally hugging himself. He's closing himself off and putting up a barrier to protect himself.
Options 2: if this was AA4 and I noticed it with perceive, I'd wonder if this was specifically an old wound hes instinctively covering or protecting himself from. Maybe whenever he slipped up Von Karma would enact a physical punishment like a punch to the gut or to hit his arm. The head turn is literally a flinch.
Or he could just be doing it whenever he has gay thoughts idk

Hey mia what kind of dynamic would yoosung and saeran have in between them on the context of yoosung good/normal ending (aka saeran had blinded yoosung in one eye).
So in the yoosung valentine dlc, seven was in his jokester mood we have known him to have, which makes me speculate that between the good/normal ending and the valentine dlc (which are quite some years apart since in the latter yoosung is in his mid-late 20s) seven had rescued saeran and rika was secretly rehabilited without her being exposed of her crimes.
Seven would not keep his jokester facade and is also likely to leave rfa if he knew saeran was not okay (something he had discovered in that very route).
So with the assumption of seven rescuing saeran shortly after yoosung route and saeran meeting the rest of the rfa including yoosung. What kind of dynamic would the two have. I see both the potential for angst and some heartwarming moments as well
Pretty much the same as in SE, but with even more added trauma and guilt between them specifically.
MM endings are rather open to interpretation, so there are a lot of ways to imagine your own individual story playing out. I personally like it about them! So, it is very much a possibility that Mint Eye does get discovered and dismantled eventually, and that the twins do reunite. If we're taking a safer route, with Saeyoung staying with the RFA, and everyone working together without any added drama, then it'll pretty much play out similarly to the second SE.
Saeran will be recovering at the hospital until a specific point, and after that, he will be staying with Saeyoung in his bunker. How that whole thing plays out, and how differently it is from the SE, is completely up to you.
That said, I do think Yoosung will handle the whole crisis a bit more maturely, as well as play a more active role. If we're taking his character development in the duration of his route into account, he is way more determined to do whatever he can to help.
He also has a strong support system by his side in this scenario, so his issues concerning Rika will be resolved more painlessly and in a much healthier manner.
But, that raises the issue of Saeyoung not going through his own development that happens in his own route. And, you know what this means. Even if he doesn't leave the RFA, he'll still become distant and cold with them. The idea of Yoosung being the one who encourages him to open up and trust his friends is something I quite like. It's sweet, in a way, considering how Saeyoung supported Yoosung from the sidelines on his own route. I personally think that these two share one of the closest friendships in the RFA, so it's neat to imagine them encouraging one another like this.
So, there's that.
And Saeran? Well, Yoosung will only have a chance to interact with him directly after a long time has passed. I don't think his recovery will be any less rough than it is in the SE. Quite the opposite, actually. Poor Saeyoung will definitely experience a very difficult and stressful period. The rest of the RFA are going to be his main source of comfort and support. Maybe Yoosung and mc meet up with him from time to time, or maybe Yoosung prepares him some healthy food to eat up while they are stuck in the bunker.
I do think Yoosung will be sympathetic, despite everything. Especially after discovering all that Saeran has gone through. He'll forgive him for what he did, and he will be determined to help out in any way he can. He may not know Saeran, but he's Saeyoung brother, and that's all he needs to know. We do know that Yoosung is someone who will do everything for those he cares about. And Saeyoung is one of his closest friends.
That said... it's one thing to settle your feelings from the safe distance, and it's completely another to meet with this person again face to face. Yoosung's experience in Magenta was undoubtedly very traumatic. Despite not displaying much of a reaction in the game, he will definitely experience occasional nightmares, at the very least. I do like to think that he works this out in therapy, as he's determined to be the best version of himself, but...
That traumatic experience is still directly linked to Saeran.
It's a bitter pill to swallow, and I think Yoosung is not going to expect the reaction he will experience the first time he sees Saeran again. He's likely to freeze and enter a state of fight or flight. It's not intentional. It's a natural response to a feeling of danger. And it's something his mind and body do on their own. It won't be loud or intense, but it is very much distressing to him. Mc will probably have to put a gentle hand on his shoulder and lead him away. It's important to remind him that there is nothing wrong with what he is feeling, and that he shouldn't be hard on himself for that.
And, Saeran? He has no desire to be around the RFA in the first place. It's not comfortable and awkward. Sure, they may say that they do not hold any grudges against him... But, they are still the very same people he vowed to destroy so many times. Of course he'd feel uneasy and uncomfortable around them. It's a constant reminder of just how meaningless his life was up until this point. A cruel callback to the way he was manipulated, and just how much of a twisted monster he really is. Saeran is always quiet and closed off, but when he's next to the RFA?
It is multiplied tenfold.
And, Yoosung? Well, Yoosung is someone who he directly harmed. In a very sadistic and deliberate way, mind you. Saeran doesn't want to be disrespectful or anything, but his gaze will instantly go to the blind eye the young man has lost because of him. And then, the flashbacks will come rushing in. If Yoosung freezes up and goes into fight or flight mode, then Saeran has a straight up panic attack.
He remembers everything. Every disgusting detail of his actions. The sticky blood coating his fingers and getting under his fingernails, the sight of the whirling body before him as he holds it down without any consideration for its owner, the raging hate and an overwhelming desire to hurt clouding his every waking thought.
It causes him to feel sick to his stomach. I am talking sick enough to throw up. And he probably does.
What happened between Saeran and Yoosung on his route shouldn't be overlooked. The event was both traumatic and violent. It will leave them both with lasting consequences. In Yoosung's case, not only mental, but physical as well. And Saeran will never wipe that metallic smell of blood out of his head. Neither is he going to forget the fact that... really, he did that on his own accord. Nobody told him to harm Yoosung in such a cruel and purposefully sadistic way. He wanted to cause him pain. He wanted to make him scream and tremble from pain.
And, the worst of it all? It's not possible for him to pretend and say he didn't like it. Because he did. At the time, all he wanted was to hurt him.
Saeran already feels like a monster in the SE. I am honestly horrified to imagine how he would feel in this scenario if he ends up shooting V as well.
It's... It's a lot.
For the rest of his life, he will have to live with this. This guilt and knowledge of just what he is really capable of. And he wants to never forget what he did. Yoosung has lost an eye because of him. The least he can do is make sure that he carries some sort of consequence of that unforgivable event with him. It's a way of self-punishment. Not healthy at all.
So... yes, there is going to be a lot of very heavy baggage from both sides here. It's not impossible for them to form a stronger bond, if that's the picture you want to see for your ending. However, it will take a considerable amount of time. I'm talking literal years here. Lots of trial and error. Lots of messy situations and emotional outbursts from both sides. And, of course, therapy.
The thought of both of them coming to a sort of closure with each other is sweet, though. Maybe years down the line, as Saeran has to do a lot of healing and self-discovery of his own. But, it's possible.

One thing I would have liked in the RAE is to see more of Yoosung's reaction right at the moment he learns the truth about Rika, give it more focus. At least I would have liked that scenario, I actually thought he would break down and not be willing to go through with the mission for a long time. But I admire how strong he is and how he doesn't take Rika's side or try to see or look for some possibility that she is not the cause of all this mess, but that doesn't make sense, everything is happening in front of his eyes and he must accept it...
I liked that maturity when he calls us on the phone and see that even though I said I was being sympathetic to Rika, Yoosung had his OWN feelings about it and couldn't agree with me at this point. I still think that pain is still inside him even after the Good Ending, you will never forget the person you once admired betraying you in the most horrible way, God I would give anything to see Yoosung in front of Rika and expressing his feelings towards her (like in VAE) his sadness, anger, disappointment!!! I love Yoosung and would love to be by his side and hold his hand and tell him it's ok to feel what he feels, let him cry if he needs to, if he feels angry let him express it freely, his feelings are as valid as anyone else's, I would be by his side to listen to him and hug him if he needs comfort.
It hurts but I know he will be able to move on, let him take all the time he needs to heal, RFA would be there for him too, and whether or not he forgives Rika is for him to decide... I will support what he thinks is best for him.
I hope I'm not the only one (I don't think so) who thinks that after this Rika and Yoosung's relationship will not be the same so I see it very difficult for them to get back together like before. I know I said I will support every decision he makes but if it's possible for him to decide to stay away from Rika I think it's for the best, for him and for Rika.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of Yoosung post RAE because of all this I've told you guys. (Well, honestly, all the post-RAE RFA moving forward with their lives taking care of their health).
Yoosung goes through so much in this game, I swear to God. I don't get to talk about him enough.
I do think he is one of the members who would be willing to contemplate a visit to her in prison once or twice. We do know that he has more or less come to the realization that his cousin is not the person he believed her to be, just in a different fashion from the way we see it play out in V Route.
In this situation, he can see her do things that are unforgivable to many, and I'm sure he swallows a lot of his feelings for the sake of those around him since he is the kind of guy who is considerate. He would be mindful of Saeran.
Why wouldn't he be mindful of somebody who just helped him realize that his family isn't who he thought it was? That doesn't make it any easier for him, but for a lot of people, if somebody does something irredeemable, you can make the decision to have nothing to do with them, but still deal with your feelings later on due to the severity of the situation you're in.
But, I do think for his peace, he would need to speak to her at least once just like he did in the other ending to fully comprehend all of his feelings, because he deserves the opportunity to put his heart out on the table and make sure he is heard.
He would want to know if his cousin ever cared about him and why she did what she did. Why would she go out of her way to hurt other people? Why wouldn't she tell anyone that she was struggling? Why wouldn't she be open and honest with him when he thought their relationship was closer than what it was? He has a lot of questions and pain that needs to be expressed. 
You've said it yourself, a lot of those feelings are messy and complicated but they deserve to be felt. He deserves to say what he needs to say and feel what he needs to feel. She was his entire world for a few years, and he missed that sense of closeness they had as a family. She was his rock, and as much as he wants to go back, he knows he can never go back to what they had. 
The answer may never satisfy him but I think he needs to hear it from her to find peace. Sometimes you need to hear the answer straight from that person's mouth, and it doesn't matter if the answer is satisfying or not, the only thing that matters is that you hear what their excuse is and you contemplate how you feel about everything after you know their side alongside everyone else's. 
That's his family and she meant the world to him in the short time they were together. We don't know a lot about his family specifically, but I've always assumed his older sister is much older than he is, and he was an oopsie baby.
She was closer to his age as far as he could tell, she truly felt like the older sister he never had. Sure, we know a little bit about his real older sister, but I don't think the two of them have a close relationship and he always yearned for more of a relationship with her. He couldn't have that with her, but he did get it with his cousin, and that's why it was so easy to befriend Rika! She saw him when nobody else did and he is grateful for that fact to this day no matter what happened! 
His mother likes to coddle him and I do believe she's on the older side of motherhood! He didn't have the opportunity to be close to most of his family, but he had a normal upbringing. He never had to worry about anything and he always had his needs met. He just didn't have the opportunity to be close to people in his family as much as he might have wanted to be, and that's why it was so easy for him to get close to Rika. 
He was going into veterinary medicine to make sure nobody ever had to go through what she did over Sally, but as we can see, that wasn't his passion as much as baking is. Seeing him move on to something that makes him happier makes me happy for him. 
Don't get me wrong, he loves animals, and more than anything he wants to make sure they are taken care of. But, to me, it always felt like he wasn't like his heart wasn’t all there. I’m not a Yoosung MC so don’t quote me on that, it’s just… throughout the game, I’ve seen him love the creation of food from start to finish. That felt like more of a passion when I watched him.
Of course, you don't have to make your career around something you're passionate about, you can do something else you love and keep that hobby on the side. I know he'll keep practicing his baking and cooking in his timeline, but I often wonder how things could have been different had he changed his major. 
His love for animals isn't just for Rika, you know? But, Rika played a huge role in his choosing that path.I just know he has to be looking at it differently since he reflected in one timeline on it and decided to change course. If you could do that in one universe, it could happen in others. 
Frankly, I think for the betterment of his health, and for Rika’s health as well, they do not continue to have contact. I think Rika needs to let go of the RFA and move on because it’s clear to me in the route that they’re moving on from her. The subject of V is a little more trouble, but Rika? I think that’s said and done with by what we see in the time jump. 
I'm not sure what his decision will be in the end but I do hope that he has the opportunity to speak to her and find whatever peace he needs, because he always wants to talk to her even if it doesn't bring him any peace. In the end, it's his choice whether he wants to forgive her or not, and I hope he decides what feels right for him. I don't want him to let anything cloud his decision of what feels right for him.
