Mystic Messenger Appreciation Post

What better way than to spend the Christmas Eve playing Mystic Messenger Christmas DLC!!!

Okay, so I suddenly have an epiphany after reading a MM fic. People, under enough pressure, would bring out the most ugliness in them. I know it because it I had been under pressure, I would have gone towards robbery or outright murder. But if I had a child and my husband was cheating on me, I would go out in Medea style.

So, I thought, what about these bois? And becareful, there are some really bad triggers if any of you have past childhood traumas or even now.

WARNING: DV, some trigger events, so please be awareeeeee

Yoosung

- He's the type to get easily tricked. He'll accidentally give away a lot of money to a con artist without realizing it until you tell him about it.

- He will at first blame himself, and then when you try to support him, he'll start blaming you. He will rant and rant before wishing that it was Rika that stood before him, and not you.

- He'll turn into alcohol, ignore any kids you might possibly have. It made you have to start working into a late shift, dropping off your kids to one of the RFA members who are worried about you.

- Yoosung still respects his wedding vows, though. He might turn into an alcoholic drunk, but it doesn't mean that he starts sleeping around here and there.

- You still did love him, but for your kids, you have to divorce him. Only, you don't have enough money as Yoosung was busy spending the money with games and alcohol. Jaehee visited one day as she was quite worried about the lack of messages from you both, only to find the condition your house was in. Alcohol bottles and trash were scattered all over the place while the kids are picking it up while Yoosung was doing nothing but playing LOLOL.

- She made up her mind and quietly gathered the kids and some personal belongings that she knew weren't Yoosung and after dropping them off at her own house, went to your work place and told you about it. She helped with the divorce papers and helped with the custody over your kids and you never had been any more happier.

Zen

- He would not have any affairs of intercourse, but instead, because of publicity, he would go on a date with different actresses and singers. At first, you were fine with it. But after he started skipping any dates you both organized, any anniversaries or birthdays, or even events like Valentine and Christmas, he ended up never attending

- So you try your best to catch up in order to not be shown. You started learning about make up, how to dress, how to talk, different designs and even about celebrities.

- It made Zen very unnerved, so he tried talking to you about it. You try to tell him about how you are feeling, which made him burst out in anger. Oh, so it's now about you. You try to get him to see things, but it ended up making it worst, which made you angry as well.

- Fed up, you pack up some clothes and any possible children would come along with you since Zen obviously prefers his job and reputation over his own family, staying over at someone's house from the RFA.

- He will try and stop you, which will turn a lot violent with all the pulling and dragging. The children were told to use their mother's cellphone to call someone in the RFA to help.

-707 was called and he quickly came over, knocked out Zen and ushered you and your children over to his car.

Jaehee

- At first, everything was all fine. Managing both your cafe together was fun until the cafe wasn't really doing well, so you both need all the customers you can get.

- It wasn't until a sleazy man came up and sat down, demanding to be served. Jaehee was busy with another customer, so you went up to the sleazy guy with a bit of a reluctance.

- He ordered just a coffee, and you quickly served him in order to head to another customer. He would just sip slowly on the coffee, watching both you and Jaehee with a leer.

- When you passed by him, he would slap your butt, which made you mad and try to stop him politely, but he only gives this perverted grin.

- When he tries putting his hands up your skirt, you immediately slap him and kick him out. Jaehee would notice and storm up to you, asking to talk back in the kitchen.

- She then says with a disappointed tone on how could you ever kick out a valuable and paying customers. She was blaming you, which made you try to explain, but she wouldn't listen to you

- Ending up in a big fight, you stormed away from the cafe. When you came back to apologize, she just looks at you disappointedly and instead made you in charge of the kitchen while she served.

- Even for a long time she doesn't trust you to manage anything else.

- Any possible kid would always see Jaehee look at you in disappointment and anger while you only try to shy away, already giving up on trying to apologize as no matter what you did, it wouldn't work.

- Yoosung, who loved babysitting your kid, would see the frosty atmosphere around you, so he offered you a place in his home. You took it

- In the end, you never left, signing away your half of deed of the cafe.

Jumin

- Somehow, Jumin has gotten colder towards you. He had gotten distant away from you. You try to spend some time with him, but everytime he comes home, he would always go over to Elizabeth the Third, not bothering with you.

- You were expecting, and was ready to tell him excitedly, but any attempts were blown off by saying that he was busy.

- Any presents were half hearted, anniversaries and birthdays were forgotten. Chairman Han notices and gives you a sad look, but didn't bother saying anything.

- You didn't know why he gave you that look until you looked at the tabloid. Jumin was seen with another woman in several places. The most shocking to you was the picture of them coming out of the hotel together. He said that he was on a business trip.

- When you confronted him about that, he ignored you. But the more you persisted, he just looked at you with a raised eyebrow. "So?" He would ask.

- It broke your heart to see that he didn't care. You ran back to your room (you didn't share with Jumin after he got distant due to his insistence) and sobbed. So the next day, when preparing for everything, your phone suddenly rang. It was Zen.

- Zen had a bad feeling and a dream, and he didn't want to jump to a conclusion because he knew how much Jumin loves you, only for you to correct him with 'loved'. Zen was quiet for a bit before asking her if you knew.

- Zen convinces you to come over the place, escape the house for a bit.

- So once Jumin heads off for another 'business trip'. you made your hasty escape with you kid, with some lies to the bodyguards, you walked with your kid for a long time before taking a taxi to Zen's house.

- When Jumin did come back a week later, it was to a housekeeper, not his wife. The housekeeper tried her best to avoid him only to blurt out the situation, handing the papers she found on the kitchen table.

- It was a divorce paper that already had your half signed and everything as well as your wedding ring

- He started regretting everything and dropped everything to try and find for you. He first tried calling on your phone, both on the RFA app as well as normally. Both didn't connect at all. He started asking everyone on the RFA whether they've seen you or not. Everyone denied it. Zen lied and only he knows it. He proceeds to rant on why Jumin doesn't know that you were gone and what Jumin had done for you to run somewhere.

- It made Jumin pause and say that he had made a huge mistake, only to leave the chat to concentrate somewhere else.

- You had already broken your phone on the way to Zen's house as to not leave any tracks or anything.

- You had told Zen about your pregnancy, which he said that he'll help support until you're ready to get by on your own. But you couldn't leave. Not until you've seen Zen look at your stomach that was slowly growing with fond eyes, the amount of baby clothes he bought, the researches and encouragements, the way he held your hand with excitement in the doctor's when seeing your baby for the first time, it made you fell for him.

- But instead, it turns out that he was the one to surprise you by confessing to you first. It made you extremely happy.

- Jumin, who had been searching for a long time, finally found you by coincidence, surprised that you were this close. He was saddened and surprised when he saw a baby and a wedding ring with you.

- Jumin decides to leave as he wasn't spotted yet by you. But he wasn't quick enough to leave because he manages to see Zen run up to you and take the baby from your arms to coo at it. Jumin regrets because he would have been in Zen's place were he not an idiot.

707

- There's no nothing. No notes, no letters, no goodbyes. It's like he never lived with you in the first place. He just up and abandoned you.

- You had announced your pregnancy towards him, and the first thing you should have noticed was how fake his smile was. You should have noticed him telling you to sleep before him. You should have noticed him heading out. But no.

- As you cried, you didn't notice Saeran lingering behind you, trying to figure out whether or not to give you some space or comfort you. He had confronted his Saeyoung about it, but only got bluffed. Saeran was the one who ended up watching as his brother's car sped in the distance, growing smaller and smaller with every second.

- He finally decides to comfort you, taking you awkwardly into his arms.

- The both of you decided to move places because this was Saeyoung's house in the first place because both of you needed to get away but you needed closure from each other, with him still recovering from trauma and you from abandonment.

- It just happened a little by little, until you realised that you were practically dating. You only realised this when you saw Saeran changing while humming your children's diapers in the middle of the night after you woke up wondering why your children aren't crying at this time.

- But both of you never really said anything. Both you and Saeran were already satisfied with this life. No marriage, no dating, it was just the 4 of them in that little family.

Saeran

- Abused victims will become abusive themselves, that was a saying that you had never believed, but somehow you couldn't help that thought.

- The first time was an accident. During one of his fits, he had accidentally hit you in the face, making you have a nose bleed. He quickly apologized for that, trying to do everything to stop it. But he couldn't help but feel better.

- The second time was a test. He had purposefully hit you, trying to test a theory he hoped that wasn't true. So when he hit you, it was when he was having a 'nightmare'. Trashing in bed and boxing you on the cheeks. He once more apologized while you assured him that it was alright. He couldn't help but feel great.

- The third time had no goal in it. When he was frustrated, he punched you and hit you, but would apologize once more. He would reassure you that he didn't mean it and he was sorry for everything he had done.

- Then, he would do more and more and more. Bruises, gashes and blood had started appearing on you and you did your best to hide it. He loved you, he had said that... and you loved him very much. So you stayed, you hide all the wounds with make up and long sleeved clothes.

- In an RFA party, it was V who noticed He might not be able to see it, but when he accidentally bumped into you, you flinched. He asked if you were alright, if you were hurt, but you quickly denied it.

- So he decided to do a little investigating. What he found truly horrified him.

- Even if it pains him, he waited for a time when Saeran would go out of the home you and Saeran shared before entering in with a spare key he made.

- He quickly gathered you up, and took you to a hospital quickly because you were unresponsive.

- It was like seeing himself in the past with Rika. It might not be the same, but it was an unhealthy relationship. He may not have admitted it before, but seeing this in another point of view made his eyes open.

- He had sent Saeran to a far away hospital where they could help with his broken soul which V admits was part of the cause to.

- V takes an active part in your life in therapy. He always sits next to you and holds your hand while reassuring everything is fine while you both go into a group therapy session.

- It wasn't until someone said on how cute the both of you are together, that it made the non-existent relationship take a next step.

V

- He would always accidentally call out Rika's name, and then remember yours. It was frustrating to be honest. He would always apologize after that.

- And after a conversation with your friends outside of RFA, you decided to have a little talk with V, which blown out to be a huge argument.

- You both ended up apologizing, but then the relationship was not mended.

- The 'calling out Rika's name' problem went even worst. In bed, in his dreams, in memories, in nostalgia, it was always filled with Rika, not you nor your possible kid.

- The possible child you have with V would end up feeling as they disappointed V somehow, but they don't know why, it has always been like this since they were born.-

- You didn't know about it until you saw how exactly V treated them, and when your kid had talked to you about it. So you once more bravely try to confront him about it.

- Once more a full blown up argument. It delved to the moment when V blurted out that he wished that it was Rika standing in front of him, that Rika was the one who gave birth to the child you both currently have.

- Jumin, who was just about to press the doorbell, heard this. He stormed in and was disappointed with V. He took both you and your child, saying to V that he would take care of the both of you until V decided to step it up.

- Jumin apologizes for the abruptness, but you waved it off, thankfully for the interference and the break you had.

- You knew that after knowing what V truly felt, you felt that you were in the way. So asking for Jumin's help, you sent a half signed divorce papers over to V.

- It was one hell of a custody battle, but you did it. You managed to get custody of your child.

I choose Han Jumin because he made me laugh the entire time with his bad jokes here and there. I am a sucker for his jokes, and I like his protectiveness of whom he cares for. He may be distant the first time, but that’s because he wants to protect his friend from this random stranger who comes into their private chatroom.

He is kind, even to his father who doesn’t deserve it after forcing his own son to get married to someone without investigating their backgrounds, to Zen when Zen was down, and to the MC who he tries to cheer them up when something bad happens.

Sure he may have few flaws, like giving Jaehee more work and taunting Zen about his cat allergies, but that’s what makes me like him because he’s not this sparkly character who only knows how to spout sparkly words, but he is cute when he’s awkward and all confused.
