SUPREMELY LONG AND VERY VERY CONVERSATION HEAVY. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

King Juju everybody… 

YES THAT’S RIGHT JUMIN IS KING. 

CAN WE JUST HAVE A MOMENT TO TRULY APPRECIATE JUMIN HAN.

This boy is precious. Not just when he’s in a romance, either. No matter how tsun-tsun he is about how he doesn’t really care it’s a stRAIGHT UP LIE.

He doles out paid bodyguards to every member of the RFA at the drop of a hat every time they’re in any kind of danger at all. He’ll send his drivers out for people if they need something and not even snark about it.

When Zen is self destructing and Jumin is hurt and angry with Zen’s behavior and insistence on a rivalry he’s not interested in, he still goes out of his way to protect and help Zen, shields his privacy, bends his rules, and even hunts Zen down to help him out of his funk.

He is protective of the MC even when he’s not in love with her, and asks her to call him at any time if she needs anything.

If you regularly call the characters because you have all the call cards… do you know who answers the most and at the most random times? It’s not your routemate. It’s not Zen who adores you regardless.

It’s Jumin.

Call him at 3 in the morning. He’ll answer while he’s doing paperwork. Call him in the middle of the day and he’ll complain to you about the work he’s stuck doing. Call him when he’s gone away to his quiet place to get away from everyone else and all the noise, and he’ll still talk to you. HIT ON HIM LIKE THE THIRSTIEST GIRL IN THE WORLD and he’ll just politely brush it off and keep chatting with you.

He never says “I’m too busy to talk to you stop calling”, he’ll just do his business while talking to you between it. You don’t have to pry into his heart to befriend him, he’ll cheerily suggest you join him in teasing Zen when he barely knows you. He’ll also offer to let you meet Elizabeth when you’re practically perfect strangers. 

This dude doesn’t know the MC on most routes. He has no reason to humor her about anything not to do with the RFA. He claims he doesn’t like chit-chat. He still answers her and entertains her.

He doesn’t approve of Yoosung’s behavior at all and is disappointed completely and yet he is earnestly willing to give Yoosung a job at his business as soon as Yoosung is out of college. Zen keeps rebuffing him coldly without explanation and yet he’s absolutely willing to prop Zen back up again and use all of his connections to help Zen reach stardom if Zen would just let him.

AND WHEN YOU’RE ON HIS ROUTE.

there’s almost no time he won’t answer the MC. Even when he won’t answer ANYONE he’ll almost always answer the MC’s calls. He’ll call just to hear her voice and admit to not knowing what to say. She practically only has to ask him to do something and he’ll relent immediately.

And while he’s paranoid in his route, keep in mind the MC is actually the safest of all routes. Because for all of his paranoia he’s literally actually protecting her from dangers all the other RFA fail to.

AND

AND

As dedicated as Zen is, as much as he professes endless love for the MC, as much as he says he cares more about his love than his career, there is no time in which he chooses the MC over his career. There is no timeline where he abandons acting so he can be with her. There’s not even a timeline where he refuses to hide her even though it will stall his acting career. Even in the good ending where he reveals her, he later signs a contract that says he needs to keep the MC on the downlow and not be seen with her in public. Again, even in the ending where the MC is emotionally and verbally abusive to him and he just bows his head and takes it because he needs to be with her, he is still acting. He hasn’t even quit acting with female leads that make her jealous!

Jumin, on the other hand, will literally just quit his ludicrously expensive job without the MC so much as whispering a suggestion of it. He just wants to be with the MC more, and he’s sick of his job interfering. And in the ending where he doesn’t do that, he announces her publicly, marries her publicly, and gets angry with his work when it forces him to be away from her too long.

He runs himself so ragged forcing and slamming through his work in time to get home for Valentines day that he practically collapses from exhaustion once he gets there.

Zen might make fun of him for being so sure that he’s dedicated to the MC more than anyone else…

but boy

that’s because

Jumin is.

He’ll give up Elizabeth for the MC if she asks. He’ll keep Elizabeth if the MC asks him to. When he’s out working, all he thinks about is the MC and everything he sees reminds him of the MC.

He will worry excessively over everyone in RFA, MC included, even when he’s not in love with her. He’ll tut and play father role for Yoosung and for MC (spamming the chat with “I don’t agree with two people living together unmarried” in Zen’s route), he’ll worry over Seven and support him even when he’s savagely smacking him down over Elizabeth.

He gives Yoosung a reward when Yoosung doesn’t expect one!!

He’s SAVAGE

He’ll just keep making jokes and stupid puns until someone (usually MC) laughs about it and have no shame

HE READS THE MC A BED TIME STORY

THIS MAN

-Dark hair

-Dark eyes

-Loves furry animals

-wears a suit

-respects his father

-rich

-C&R International Heir

He wasn`t in love with you.

He was just looking out for you as a fellow member of the RFA. He would have done the same for Yoosung, or Zen. He was doing the same for them. every time. If he was watching you more it was just because you were in a dangerous place.

He wasn’t in love with you.

At least, that’s what he told himself. Every time. 

He wasn’t in love with Jaehee’s friend, with Zen’s lover… No matter how many times he went through this, he wouldn’t fall for you. 

That’s what he told himself as he looked through your information for what felt like the hundredth time, though it was really only the third. He didn’t know why he bothered at this point. He already knew everything about you from the first time.

Not because he was in love with you. He just had a really good memory.

Which is why, for the third time that month, he found himself idly hacking into your phone. He really needed to talk to you about the lack of security you had on that thing. It was laughably easy. 

You still had the same password, he noticed. The same apps too. All the same as last time…

No, something had changed. Your wallpaper was different. It was blank. No, it was… a picture of a note? I definitely looked like words were there hiding underneath all your app icons.

Curiosity got the better of him. and a few clicks and key taps later he had an unobstructed view of the mysterious note, handwritten in what he assumed had to be your writing.

Wait for me, Seven. I’ll be with you soon.

What… did that mean? He tried to read the note again but the words were blurred. And shaking. He put the phone down, instead bringing his arm up to rub his teary eyes on his sweater. 

Of course he would wait for you. He would wait forever. And there was one very simple reason:

Here is my baby boy Jumin to continue my little Borrow series. I don’t know why, but I instantly felt drawn to this guy when I started playing this God forsaken game and he’s remained my favourite even after playing Seven and Yoosung’s routes. 

Sure thing Anon-san! （^Ｏ^）～♪

The solemn atmosphere filled the room, all the members of the RFA gathered, with the newest member Saeran, and the return of V. Saeran leaned against the wall, unsure of who or why the meeting was being called.

“I think we’re just about ready to start.” Jaehee said, straightening up in her seat. 

Saeran raised an eyebrow as he glanced around the room,

“MC isn’t here yet.” 

Seven patted his shoulder gently, shaking his head in a “we’ll talk about it later” gesture. 

Saeran leaned back against the wall with a huff, brushing Saeyoung’s hand off his shoulder, a little agitated that you weren’t here. Of course you two weren’t…romantically linked (yet), but over Saeran’s recovery and rotation back into society and into RFA, you had supported him all the way, showing him kindness and warmth that he wasn’t used, and quiet frankly, didn’t know how to respond to. It needled him that you weren’t here.

“We need to talk about…MC.” Began V hesitantly, branching onto a sensitive topic.

  Zen chimed in, “I know we all don’t feel good about doing this behind MC”s back, but…we need to talk about something important.

An uncomfortable silence filled the air, Jumin’s cough breaking into it.

“We’re concerned that MC’s work…isn’t as satisfactory as Rika’s was.”

Saeran immediately focused all his attention on the conversation now, irritation bubbling to the surface. His voice was low and even as he spoke, but it didn’t hide the malice behind it. 

“Unsatisfactory? How.” Saeran demanded, the tension in the room going up 10 notches higher. 

Yoosung was the one to speak, “Uh S-Saeran. We…we aren’t saying that MC is doing a bad job. We’re just wondering if her way of doing things is as…efficient as Rika’s way was.”

V added his two cents in, “We just want to talk about if we’re okay with the way MC is doing her job.”

Saeran pushed off the way in exasperation, “If you’re okay with it? Isn’t she doing just fine?!? Where is she lacking? She’s getting guests, she’s bringing them in, and they love her!” 

Seven sighed loudly, “Here we go….” muttered under his breath. 

“The type of guests she’s bringing in are different from the type that we’re used to.” Jaehee bursted out,  and everything went quiet.

Ahhh….so that was the root of the problem.

Saeran got his emotions under control before answering, “Different than you’re used to? Isn’t that good? A diverse guest list has done amazing things for this organization, you’e gotten connections everywhere.”

Zen cleared his throat awkwardly, “It’s just that Rika-”

Saeran slammed his fist on the table, “MC isn’t Rika goddamnit!”

 Saeran looked up from the table, expecting all eyes to be on him. But they weren’t, they were all glued to something behind him. You…in the door way, your jacket dropping to the floor. 

“MC….” Seven whispered, the rest of the members eye’s filling with guilt.

“How…how long of you been there…?” Saeran whispered. He couldn’t stand the thought of you getting hurt. Of your light going out.

You continued to stare into the room. They had been discussing you. Had you really been a replacement for RIka all this time? They weren’t nice to you because they actually liked you for you? Your eyes locked with Saeran’s as your thoughts came rushing in. You sniffed, and though you blinked rapidly in an attempt to hold back your tear, they came streaming down your face.

“I-I’m sorry.” You cried out, before bolting from the room.

Saeran stared at the space that used to be you, your crying face burning into his mind. Without a second glance at the members, he grabbed your jacket, and chased after you.

OOoooooOOOoooOoooOO

You ran through the street, ignoring the strangers that threw looks at you. You thought that you had finally found a place that you belonged to…but apparently not. You sniffled, stopping in place once the the crowds of people started to thin out.

You panted from your mad dash, and your breath fogged into the air. Tonight was cold, and suddenly you were aware of you jacket that you had forgotten. Tears dripped down your chin, and your nose was red from your hand furiously rubbing the tears away. As you stood and cried quietly, you suddenly felt a heavy fabric engulf your shoulders, arms snacking around you to trap you inside the warm garment, and your head was pushed up against a familiar chest.

“Hah…ha…you’ll….ha…catch a cold idiot!” Saeran panted, and you tilted your head up to look at him.

“Saeran….?” You whispered in disbelief.

He smiled down at you, “Your face is a mess.”

You ignored his joke, more tears welling in your eyes.

“You…you’re on my side?” You whispered

Saeran felt his heart break as more tears escaped your eyes, and he wiped them away gently. 

“I’m always on your side.”  He shifted you in his arms, your face buried in his chest, your jacket draped around your shoulders.

“Even if…even if I’m not Rika?” You sniffed, mumbling into his chest, not looking up.

Saeran reminded himself that now was not the time to think about how cute you were. He rested his chin on the top of your head,

“You’re MC. You’re warm and you’re bright. You helped me move on with my life. You make me smile and you make me happy. You’re MC. That’s all you ever need to be.” Saeran said this simply, as if he were just shrugging his shoulders. 

You thought about what he said for a moment, you resting in his arms safe and warm. Slowly you smiled, burrowing your face into his chest.

“H-Hey! What’re you doing?!” Saeran asked, his ears turning red slightly as he pushed you away from his chest to look down at you.

“Saeran…thank you.” You said, looking up into his eyes, a bright smile on your face.

And in that moment Saeran couldn’t stop think how cute you were, how soft your lips must feel. His eyes locked onto yours, and his face gradually neared yours with every passing second, until your lips met in a gentle kiss.

As fast as it happened, Saeran pulled away to check your reaction, and when he noticed your blush and the way you bit your lip, he simply leaned in to kiss you again.

Eventually, after lots of kissing, Saeran brought you back to the apartment, where all the members practically groveled at your feet. However, before you could even respond, Saeran plucked you off from the couch, carrying you out the door. He later sent a message to the chat, threatening anyone who “made his precious girl cry.”

Thank you for such kind words Anon-san! I love you! （●＞ω＜●） 

Jumin

The way Jumin finds out is funny.

You’re both at a party and when he introduces you to someone they freak out

“Oh my god!! You’re MC! I love your book!”

Jumin kind of just stays quiet, like what. 

When you go home he won’t stop asking about why you didn’t tell him.

Comes home the next day with your book in his hand

He’s constantly reading it, and when he’s finished he nearly tackles you.

“HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?”

Jumin’s so distraught because no book has ever made him feel like yours did.

He spends the rest of the night talking with you about your characters, the story conflicts, and just rambles with you.

You’re so proud that he went and finished reading your book take that Rika he finished MC’s

From then on to relax, Jumin likes to put his head on your lap as you both just read quietly. 

Zen

He’s at work one day, when he gets a call.

He’s been casted as the main lead in the movie adaption of your novel.

When he goes on set and finds you there, he’s so confused.

“Babe? Why’re you here? I thought you said you had something to do?”

As he reads through the script he just feels his heart aching. 

Because he knows that to be able to write something so tragic, you have to had known how it feels like

And boy oh boy is your novel heart-wrenching

So he calls you to his dressing room and just hugs you

He hugs you as if he were going back in time to hug the you writing the novel.

You just smile, cause you know that’s what he’s trying to do.

The movie becomes a big hit, and you and Zen become a famous couple!

Yoosung

He’s checking the mail one day when he finds a letter for you

It’s fan mail.

And being Yoosung he reads it lol

He’s so confused, “Why would you get fan mail? IS THIS FROM A SECRET LOVER?”

You have to just throw your book at him because he won’t stop crying

For the next few months, every time he dies in LOLOL he reads a little

Sometimes you’d just be doing laundry or something and he’d just come from behind and hug you while he cried.

“The book is too damn sad MC.”

You find it pretty damn cute.

Whenever you go out, he likes to bring up the fact that you’re a famous author.

Jaehee

You catch her reading it on the couch one day.

When you ask her about she lights up like a kid

“This is my favorite book. I’ve re-read it so many times.”

And you just die because she’s so cute!

When you tell her you wrote it she doesn’t believe you.

You get in a debate about it but then you flip to the back of the book and whoop there’s your real name instead of your pen name.

Her jaw just hits the floor.

Jaehee kind of has a fangirl moment.

Literally will not stop bugging you about it.

She even asks for your autograph lol

Seven

He actually had no idea, since you used a pen name when you published it.

Seven finds it on your bed one day wide open, dog eared and worn out.

He starts reading where you left off

Before he starts to research deeper and deeper about your book and soon he finds out that you’re the author

When you come home he’s literally sitting in a blanket in front of the door.

He’s an absolute mess.

You start to worry, but he just stands up and picks you up. Sits on the couch, and holds you.

You find the book opened next to him, last page open, and you know he’s upset about how sad it is.

Basically cries

But it’s in your arms so it’s okay!

“But he loves her!’

V

V likes to play audio books over a speaker, so he can hear it while he works on his photos or around the house.

He’s listening to your book that you voiced over and you’re just sitting there laughing wondering if he’ll realize.

V’s listening and listening when the audio freezes.

He’s so upset because, 

“MC stop laughing. It was just getting good!”

So you stop laughing and recite the next line.

And V just stops whatever he was doing. 

“Say that again.”

Finally realizes that it’s your voice.

The rest of the day is spent in bed, V on your lap as you play with his hair and read from the book.

Saeran

You actually catch him reading it one day.

But it’s his copy, not yours

When you ask him about he kind of closes off

“I use to read this when Mint Eye got overwhelming. I just sort of picked it up.”

And you’re so touched that you don’t say anything.

But one day your on the couch at Jaehee’s just talking and he comes in rage rolling off him in waves

He just picks you up over his shoulder and takes you home

“Why didn’t you tell me?”

Seven told him that you were the author

You make up some excuses and eventually he comes and just wraps his arms around tightly.

“You saved me twice now. “

Jumin:

He doesn’t understand

“MC I can have someone buy pumpkins for you”

You end up dragging him to the pumpkin patch, he’s grumpy the whole way there

But when you get there and hold his hand he smiles a little

Starts having a competition with other kids to find the best pumpkin

“Jumin its okay as long as we have fu-”

“We’re ganna win MC. Our pumpkin will be the top pumpkin”

Finally decides on a pumpkin after 3 hours

 Its cold and you didn’t bring gloves so he loans you when of his and puts your other hand in his pocket

“This pumpkin thing isn’t so bad”

Doesn’t understand what to do with the pumpkin next

Zen

You both arrive wearing matching scarfs

Actually looks forward to choosing a pumpkin, and puts a lot of thought into it

“Won’t this one be too big though? Hmm…it seems too hollow”

A bunch of women there begin to try and help him find a pumpkin

You’re a little annoyed but it all goes away when he picks you up in his arms

“Ahh its alright ladies. I found my perfect one right here. Isn’t that right pumpkin~”

You two spend the rest of the day together just having fun with each other

Go home together with your pumpkin in your lap

And a bunch of pumpkins from his fans in the trunk

Yoosung

It takes awhile for you two to leave the house

“But MC just one more-”

No

When you get to the pumpkin patch he gets really excited

“Ohhhhh MC look at all the pumpkins!!!!”

While you’re looking for a pumpkin Yoosung gives you his earmuffs~

There’s lots of hand holding

Takes him forever to find a pumpkin cause he can’t choose

Literally have to drag him back to the car with the one he currently has

Holds your hand while you drive

Secretly swaps his pumpkin with yours cause he likes yours better after all

Jahee

You end up going a little late because he schedule is packed

On the way there she tells you everything you need to know about choosing a good pumpkin

“The color is extremely important.”

You both are only there for a little while when it starts to rain

You both run into your car out of breath and with damp hair

You’re a little bummed about not getting a pumpkin

Then, Jahee pulls a pumpkin from the area by her feet

“I picked it up while we were running”

You’re so happy you give her a kiss, and she’s taken by surprise

As you pull away you stare at each other

And then burst out laughing 

V 

You both are out the door right on time

The ride there is relaxing

V tells you about his childhood and you tell him about yours

He fiddles with your hands, playing with your fingers or pressing kisses on your palms

The moment you get there he laughs at how excited you are

Takes a bunch of pictures of you

Doesn’t really care what pumpkin you choose, he’s happy if you are

“Oh MC be careful over there, it feels muddy here”

You slip and fall as you’re running back to him with your pumpkin.

“Goodness. What did I tell you?

He wipes your face with his handkerchief and gives you his jacket to wear as you change out of your muddy shirt.

”Aren’t you cold?”

“No I’m alright love.”

Begins to shake

You laugh and take him to the car where he shows you all the pictures he took

707

Snacks on Honey Buddha chips the whole way there

You both have a race to find the “God Pumpkin”

“MC look!!”

You look over to find him holding a pumpkin…under his hoodie like a pregnant woman.

You laugh and the next hour is spent by watching him make various poses with said pumpkin

The wind picks up as he continues to play around.

You walk over and take the pumpkin from under his hoodie

“No! My baby!”

You roll your eyes and slip under his hoodie, glad that it’s stretched out and come face to face with him

“It’s cold”

He looks around at how the weather has changed, time passes when he’s with you.

He sees your little red nose and kisses it gently.

Of course you can Anon-san! It’s refreshing to write something other than sin! (ᵔᴥᵔ)

Zen

He apologizes to you again and again about having to get interrupted

He has to control himself, afraid he’ll make his fans hate you from being jealous of you.

That ultimately fails, cause he just can’t help touching you.

It takes him quiet a while to actually choose where to bring you, since he’s not quiet sure what you like to do.

He ends up bringing you to the amusement park

“MC look! Aren’t these cute?” 

They’re animal headbands, and you both get matching brown bear ears to wear around together. 

But as the date goes on, Zen repeatedly excuses himself, running to the rest room to check his appearance.

Only you can make him so unsure of himself.

He worries that you aren’t having fun, that his fans bother you and that he isn’t suited for you.

After his 9th attempt to go to the bathroom, you grab his hand.

“Zen. You look fine. Super handsome as always!” 

This leads to him kissing you every chance he gets for the rest of the day

“Babe. How can you be so cute?!” 

Yoosung

Surprisingly, he’s the one to ask you out on a date

He stays up all night playing LOLOL because he’s too excited to sleep!

Ends up waking up late.

“MC I’M SO SORRY I’M ON MY WAY”

He takes you to see a movie (It’s totally a cartoon)

Literally sits there and sweats once he realizes that he’s actually on a date.

“Holy shit. I’m on a date.”

He stays quiet half way through the movie, and then decides to make move.

Tries to put his arm around you

Flinches every time you move.

Eventually he gives up, head in his hands silently shooting himself in the foot.

But then he feels you grab his hand (its clammy lol)

He notices your silent giggles…

“MC! You were aware of it this whole time?!?!”

Jahee

Stays up all night researching what to do on a date.

Also researches things to do

Wakes up super early to prepare

Arrives a hour early 

You two end up going to a cooking class together!

You make sushi, there’s lots of giggling and playing around

But for some reason…Jahee feels an even greater attraction towards you today, and it makes her quiet flustered

She begins to ramble on and on as she works, and by the end of her rolling, her sushi roll is huge! Lol….her sushi….roll

Jahee continues to grow flustered, refusing to make eye contact with you

Later, when you’re both sitting down, you feed her the sushi you made, laughing when she refuses to meet your gaze.

Jumin

You have to ask him to set aside a day for the two of you

Spending time with you outside the penthouse actually appeals to him (unless it’s Daddy Jumin)  

He takes you to a really fancy restaurant

As he sits across from you, he can’t help feeling restless

You deserve only the best, and though he doesn’t look it, he’s terrified that you may be dissatisfied with the date

This shows when he tosses his fork onto his plate

“Take this away right now. Remake everything! It’s alright to be honest MC.” 

You get so confused. Like. What?

“Jumin, when did I say it didn’t taste good…?”

He instantly gets embarrassed, claiming that he can’t keep his head on when he’s with you

“I just…want to make you happy.” 

You get up from your seat and press a kiss to his cheek, reassuring him that you just love spending time with him.

You both end up going to a book lounge, just relaxing into each other.

 Seven

He literally just picks you up and puts you in the car one day.

“We’re going on an adventure!”

“Seven…it’s 9:30 at night”

He insists and convinces you to beg him.

Somehow you find yourself laying down in a planetarium, Seven laying next to you

You turn to face him, but….

He’s covering his face with his hands like a shy little girl.

“Seven…?”

“Nooo! Don’t look at me! You’re dangerous!” 

When the light hits him, you see that his face matches his hair, 

You end up moving his glasses out of the way and kissing his nose.

V

Arrives 30 minutes early and insists on picking you up from your house

Takes you to an art festival 

As your both walking around booth he shyly takes hold of your hand

When you stop walking and look up at him, V blushes.

“O-only if you’re okay with it.”

He covers his lips with his hands as he just continues to blush.

He takes lots of photos of you, always when you aren’t looking.

He takes so many, that he soon becomes invested in his camera

You go and grab his face, putting your foreheads together so he can see your face.

“Pay attention to me.” You say before nipping his nose

V backs away from you instantly, his whole face pink as you laugh your ass off

Saeren

It takes you a while to convince him to go. 

You end up taking him to one of those “Escape the Room” places

Things jump out at you, and you scream and cling to him

Saeren…isn’t scared in the slightest, and since he isn’t used to being in a relationship, he kind of stays really far ahead of you.

“S-Saeren!: You call, terrified to move any further.

He hears the panic in your voice, and comes back instantly

“I’m sorry….I…I’m not used to this.”

He picks you up and just kind of…walks out with you

You hear his heart beating really fast and you realize that he really is nervous being with you

Your English is lovely Anon-san! ⊂(◉‿◉)つ

Here you go!

“But mom…I’m sure that if I just-”

You winced as your mom cut you off through the phone.

“Whatever you do, it won’t be enough. Aren’t you embarrassed? Being on the cover of magazines when you really don’t have much to offer? Listen dear, you just don’t have the skill set in finances or the status to be with him. Seeing your face plastered everywhere knowing this…it sure makes me embarrassed.” Your mom said sternly.

“Alright mom…I get it. I’ll talk with you soon.” You quickly hung up before she could respond.

You and your mother had always had a rocky relationship. She was very uptight, and though you knew that you loved her and she loved you, your mother often took care of her reputation before you. Even if it meant hurting you.

With a sigh you sank into your bed. She was right. You were an embarrassment as a daughter, and an even bigger one to Jumin. God what had you been doing all this time? Jumin deserved someone  on par with him…someone that wasn’t you.

As you laid on the bed with Elizabeth the Third tears formed in your eyes. You couldn’t talk about this with him. He’d be so hurt knowing his status caused you to doubt him. He’d be so, so hurt. This was his way of life, it was a part of him. And no matter how much you wanted to believe that it was the same for you, others saw right through you. Had the people around you been thinking the same exact thing as your mother? With a groan you sat up off the bed and looked around the penthouse. You would never ever truly be accepted into his world.

Wiping away at your face you scrambled for a pen and a sheet of paper, wrote something down quickly, and began to gather your stuff.

o0o0oo0o0o0o

Jumin returned late at night, tired out from a long day of work. You hadn’t responded to his calls or texts, or even in the chat room. 

“MC?” He called out as soon as he walked into the penthouse.

Jumin noticed a plate of food on the table, and he returned to the living room in search of you. Elizabeth nuzzled herself around his leg, a something tied around her collar.

Jumin picked her up softly, taking the message from her collar.

“I’m sorry.” written in your handwriting.

And then Jumin is running through the penthouse, screaming your name. He checks the bedroom and throws open the closet. Your clothes are nowhere to be found. Jumin runs to the the bathroom. Your toothbrush in the crystal holder is nowhere to be found. He runs back to the living room again, your bright sippers are nowhere to be found. You are nowhere to be found. There’s no trace of you in his house, and Jumin pulls his phone out, calling you over and over.

“Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message.”

0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

It’s been 2 hours since Jumin stopped calling, and you cry as you stare at your phone screen. 53 missed calls. Everyone in the chat is going crazy trying to find you. But you’re nothing, you lack everything. Why would they search for you? Your phone went off again, Jumin’s name appearing on the screen.

You had checked into a small motel, and though it wasn’t the greatest, it was enough to allow you to grieve. You didn’t want to leave Jumin. You loved him with every fiber of your being, but what your mother had said…it was the truth wasn’t it?

You were pulled out from your thoughts as your phone lit up the dark room with a ding. One new voicemail. You told yourself to ignore it. But the thought of hearing Jumin’s voice now…it was just too much to resist.

Sniffling you sat up and pressed the phone to your ear, his voice instantly filling the darkness.

“MC. I don’t know why you left. I hope that you’re alright.”

His voice was breathless, and you could hear the wind blazing through him as he ran. You felt as if your heart was on fire.

“I love you. When I find you we’re going to talk through this. How could you be so irrational?! You could never do anything to make me angry. Well…expect for this. I’m angry love. I’m so angry with you. Never do something like this again. We’ll talk more when I get there.” It clicked off.

Your heart was aching as you thought over his words. You felt so guilty. Of course Jumin had every right to be angry at you, and you should have talked this out and- wait. Did Jumin say you’d talk more when he got here?!?! Frantically you listened to the voicemail again and jumped to your feet.

Jumin was coming. Here? How could he? He couldn’t possibly. You paced the room quietly and finally swallowed some courage. A peek outside the door wouldn’t hurt. Quickly you turned on the lights and went to unlock the door. You opened it slightly, sticking your head out. No one. You breathed in relief as you went to shut the door.

Then there was the sound of feet running down the hall way, and you felt a strong push against the door, swinging it open. You jumped back as it slammed into the back wall, nearly falling off the hinges.

One very pissed off Jumin Han stood in front of you.

“MC.” He stated, his presence taking up all the space in the room. Jumin shut the door quietly, and you gulped when his eyes narrowed at you.

“You. Left.” 

Anger rolled off of him in waves, but those words…they were coated in hurt and pain. And as you stared at his silver eyes you saw how scared he was.

“Jumin I-I-I couldn’t stay there.” You began your voice small and shaky.

“Couldn’t stay there? Why? Because of me? Because you don’t love me anymore?” He asked, his voice raising slightly.

“N-No! That’s not it! It isn’t like that…I-it’s just….” You mumbled off, your tears about to escape from your eyes.

“Just what MC?! If there’s something bothering you just say it!” Jumin shouted, he was so confused, so lost. 

Your tears streamed down your face as you matched his volume, “I’m not suitable for you! I’m an embarrassment to you! I don’t deserve you! I’m worthless!” You screamed, falling to your knees, your shoulders shaking as you sobbed.

Jumin watched, stunned as you sobbed. His heart shattered watching you cry. His whole body went cold as he listened to you criticize yourself. All he wanted was to hold you in his arms.

So he did. Jumin scooped you off the ground, your legs over his arm and your head on his chest still sobbing. He held you close, and you finally relented, clutching onto his shirt sobbing and sobbing. You loved him so much. Jumin sat on the couch, running his hand down your back.

When you had finally calmed down some, your sobs turning into small hiccups, Jumin kissed your forehead.

“Who upset you?” He asked sternly.

You shook your head, refusing to answer that question. It didn’t matter who said those things, there would always be someone else saying them.

With a sigh Jumin tilted your chin up, making you look him in the eyes.

“I love you MC. You aren’t worthless. You anchor me. You’ve made me become such a better person. Without you I can’t breath. Without you I’d have no one. I can’t go back to the way I was before you MC…I love you.” Jumin placed his forehead against yours.

“I love your eyes.” He kissed each eye lid softly.

“I love your cheeks.” He kissed both of your cheeks gently.

“I need you…why don’t you understand that?” Jumin whispered, before placing a soft kiss on your lips.  

Your eyes were filled with tears again as Jumin enveloped you in his love. This man needed you as much as you needed him.

“Jumin…I’m sorry….I’m sorry!” You cried as you clung on to him, and you felt Jumin’s body relax as his arms tightened around you. He kissed you again passionately, you both whispering words of “I love you” to each other.

Jumin stood from the couch, still holding you in his arms as he moved towards the door.
