Using this prompt and considering the fact that thereās a small cast of characters for Mystic Messenger, I just had fun doing all the characters! I hope youāll enjoy!
The character wakes up next to you in the same bed after a night of drinking. What is their reaction?
So, Iām going into all these reactions assuming that youāre either a complete stranger to the character or youāre a friend who they are not in a relationship with, because if you were in a relationship, the characters would be largely unbothered. Going with that assumption, I feel like it would be insanely rare for this to happen to Jumin and, if it did, heād be horrified when he woke up to find another person in his bed and really disgusted with himself, especially so if it was a complete stranger. Regardless of how heās internally feeling though, he would push down those emotions and would be a complete gentleman about it. Heād immediately get dressed and leave if the bed wasnāt his own, and if you were a friend, he would apologize to you afterwards and would put some distance between the two of you for a little while afterwards, just until he could sort out his emotions regarding what happened. If it was his own bed, I feel like heād still get dressed right away and probably head right into a shower. Heād offer you Tylenol and breakfast if you wanted it when you woke up and would arrange to have you driven home afterwards. If you were just a complete stranger, I think heād want little contact with you afterwards, just because he is feeling that shame in his actions, and if you were a friend, I feel heād behave very much as mentioned above.
Zen has gotten drunk and found himself in this situation at least once before in his life. It isnāt a completely new experience to him and heās more casually cool about it. Heās never thrilled about it, because he does feel like he might have potentially taken advantage of a drunk person, regardless of the fact that he was also drunk. Heād definitely have some weird healthy juice concoction he makes to take the edge off the hangover and heād probably scour the kitchen of either his or your place to try to make it for both you and him. Heād never just leave and pretend it didnāt happen because that isnāt okay in his mind so he would stick around and wait for you to wake up if it was your bed. Heād need to check to make sure you were okay with what had happened the night before and heād probably check to see if there was any connection with you if you were a stranger, to see if there might be an opportunity for this to develop into more than a one-night stand. If you were already his friend, heād definitely feel the need to make sure that you were okay with whatever had happened the night before. He might even apologize for whatever had happened right off the bat, just because he feels a little guiltier about the situation if it happens with someone he does know and already cares about in some form. I could also see him, with someone who was already a friend, being really open to seeing if there is potential for a relationship to come out of a drunken one-night stand.
Saeyoung is disturbed. Like, the boy is not at all mentally okay with this, no matter who you are to him. He doesnāt drink often, and he already hates the fact that he got drunk, since heād always promised himself he wouldnāt do that, wouldnāt risk turning into his mother. The fact that heād probably had sex with either a complete stranger or one of his friends after getting drunk makes him feel sick, to be honest, and I think the mixture of that guilt, self-loathing, and the hangover might send him right to the bathroom to throw up. Heād either be really short and curt with you or would be tossing out bad jokes but either way, heās going to try to leave the situation as quickly as he could. He wants out of wherever he is, he doesnāt even care if itās his own place, just as fast as his legs could carry him and heād probably ghost you completely or at least for a few days and heād do everything he could, if you were his friend and when he got back to talking to you, to pretend it had never happened.
His brain breaks. So hard. Heās already got a terrible hangover, because heās a quick drunk and gets really plastered easily, and to deal with both that fogging his mind and the realization that he isnāt alone in bedā¦itās way too much and he definitely wakes you up just kind of trying to not freak out as much as he wants to. He wants to check under the covers to see if heās naked, but he gets embarrassed because what if youāre naked so heās slipping his hands under the covers to try to feel if heās dressed or not and trying to remember what all happened and heās moving all over the place and just making a general ruckus. If you guys had slept together, no matter if he knew you or not, heās blushing redder than a tomato and stuttering and stumbling because he just doesnāt know how to react or what to do and heāll definitely need you to calm him down in the moment.
Jaehee probably is one of the most mature about the situation. Sheās embarrassed, of course, but she has a talent for remaining level-headed. Her first step is to look for her clothes and get dressed. Then, itās coffee. Sheāll make coffee for both of you and will wake you up with coffee and Tylenol, just in case you have a hangover like she does. Sheāll be very polite and will apologize to you if you seem at all uncomfortable with the previous night or the situation. Because she probably has a lot of work left to do, itās a good excuse for her to leave an awkward situation and sheāll tell you that she has to be leaving for work but will thank you for your hospitality. If you are a friend and someone she will see, she will request that you keep what happened just between the two of you and will want to act as if it hadnāt happened moving forward.
Vās the other really mature one in this situation. He doesnāt get overly drunk, not to the point where he doesnāt remember what happened at least, so he knows what went on and while he does feel a large amount of shame for his actions, heās able to remain calm in the situation. If youāre awake, he will say good morning and ask you how you are feeling. He thanks you for sharing the previous night with him and genuinely does want to know what youāre feeling emotionally in regards of what happened. That being said, heās going to let you down as easy as he can, explaining that heās just not in the right space to be starting a relationship, even just a sexual one, and that while he appreciates the previous night, heād like for this to be a one-time thing.
Saeran would not react well to this at all, honestly. Heās hungover and that makes him uncomfortable and already puts him in a bad place mentally and then he feels a lot of self-disgust for having casual sex with someone he either doesnāt know or has a friendship with. Thereās just way too much that goes on in his head when he finds himself in that situation and I really thinks he canāt even talk to you, if you are awake, and heās just laser-focused on getting his clothes on and getting as far away from the situation as fast as he can.
Rikaā¦Rika just sees this as more proof of the darkness inside of her and she fully embraces the situation. Out of all of them, I feel like sheās the one most comfortable in the situation. Sheād actually either snuggle up to you closer or would attempt to seduce you all over again, regardless of any hangovers, just because she feels like she can and feels like itās slightly self-destructive to do so, which is something she is actively seeking.
Vanderwood isnāt too shook up by the situation. Itās happened to him before, probably more than once. Heās either in your apartment or a hotel room, so he doesnāt really have to worry about kicking you out. Truth be told, heās another one of those who are going to bail with as little follow-up interaction with you as possible.
