Fellow Jinwoo Simps I need your thoughts and opinion!! Also MASSIVE brainrot warning!!!
QUESTION: How do you think Jinwoo would react to his partner questioning his taste in lovers? (ie. Being interested in Reader themselves)
How id imagine the confession would go:
Jinwoo, pre-awakening: I like you *holds bouquet of flowers
Reader, confused: um! *looks around to see if he's talking to someone behind them before pointing at themselves confused*... me?
Jinwoo: Yes, You.
Reader, Shocked: oh! Um... I like you too... but *hesitates* are you sure? About me??
The feeling is mutual!!! It's just his lover doesn't have alot of confidence in themselves. Or any confidence into getting a romance with anyone, let alone Jinwoo!! Reader feels like they have ZERO RIZZ (reader has enough rizz to woo Jinwoo so...).
Like would he hype them up???? Mayhaps but in subtle ways though I'd imagine🤔🤔. You think he'd be extra affectionate when reader gets shy??? Would this differ pre and post awakening?? (I imagine Jinwoo and reader wouldn't want the relationship public due to safety since hes a hunter and all)
AND WHAT ABOUT HIS POST AWAKENING GLOWUP AND THE FANS!!! READERS ALREADY SHY BUT THE TABLOID EVENTUALLY CHIPS AT THE SLOWLY BUILT CONFIDENCE JINWOO HELPED BUILD.
OHMYGOSH WHAT ABOUT THE TABLOIDS WITH CHA HAE-IN???? WOULD HE GET WORRIED SINCE READER MIGHT GET INSECURE OR JUST KINDA SAD???
WHAT IF READER TELLS HIM THAT HE DESERVES BETTER, BELIVJNG THAT READWR DOESNT DESERVE HIS LOVE?? AAAA OUCHHHH.. I GUESS HE HAS TO STAY WITH READER AND REMIND THEM OF HIS UNWAVERING LOVE WITH CUDDLES AND QUALITY TIME DJBDBFIDN
(reader is Jinwoo's ride-or-die, the monarch of his heart and soul, the love reader gives him is like comfort of warm soup at the end of the day, the kind that soothes even the deepest of wounds. Reader's love is also a drug, one that he cant get enough of. If he loses reader, Jinwoo would go insane.)
AUDBUDBDIBD HOLY!!!! WOULD HE GET PISSED ABOUT IT AND ENDS UP GETTING CLINGY IF CRAZY SHIPPERS TRYING TO PUT READER IN DANGER IE. SENDING A MONSTER READER'S WAY BECAUSE OF THEM BEING A "THREAT" TO THEIR SHIP (HIM AND CHA HAE-IN)??? I MEAN LIKE GUIDE THE MONSTER SPECIFICALLY AWAY FROM THE DUNGEON TO READERS LOCATION TOO. (TO THE EXTENT THAT ITS CLEARLY FOUL PLAY)
LIKE THANK THE MONARCHS THAT READER HAD SHADOWS ASSIGNED AND MAYBE WAS DECENTLY RANKED AFTER AWAKENING BUT IT COULD HAVE ENDED AWFUL IF THE FATES WERENT ON READERS SIDE!!
WOULD HIS ARMY GET PROTECTIVE TOO?? IGRIS??? BERU??? LIKE HOW DARE THESE FOOLS HARM THEIR MONARCHS BELOVED?!?!?!? 😡😡EVEN WORSE IS IF READER WORMED THEIR WAY INTI THEIR HEARTS BY GENUINELY GETTING TO KNOW THEM SO ITS PERSONAL NOW TOO!!
Reader has to calm down not only a PISSED jinwoo but his Shadows too (mainly Jinwoo though)!! And maybe being the only reason Jinwoo hadn't gone on a rampage after everything setted. Was he bribed with a heated makout session and plenty of cuddles afterwards to temper his rage and soothe his anxiety, yes. Did it work??? Probably. If it did??That's none of our buisness.
Id imagie Cha Hae-in would feel bad™ if they found out about Jinwoo and reader (just assuming the two being best friends)?? Being like "oh shit someone, a civilian no less, almost died because of her fans" Even worse if later on she learns that they're together aaaaa
But like seriously, what a messed up reminder of the power S-Rank Hunter have on the media. Yes, they know about their celebrity status affecting what they can or can't do but like this??? A whole different level, because yes, people targeting other?? Awful? Yes, but its fine. Using a MONSTER FROM A DUNGEON to target a CIVILIAN?? This is a whole new level of messed up.
Would the other S-ranks and National-ranked hunters feel like kinda bad too once they hear about it??
what the fuck??? For the following reasons:
No one deserves that
Its a civilian going against fans that are most likely hunters, the very individuals hunters are ment to protect from monsters ever since the dungeons appeared
THE HUNTERS USED A HIGH RANKED MONSTER TO TARGET A CIVILIAN (the mutual enemy internationally)
this was all done because PEOPLE BEING ENTITLMENT OF THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE S-RANK HUNTERS.
This is furthur solidified and makes the WHOLE DEBACHLE worse because only EXPERIENCED hunters would have the knowledge and experince to be able to lure a monster from a dungeon break to a specific location, especially if reader wasn't even near the dungeon in the first place.
(For anyone who's read this all the way, thanks for reading my silly thoughts!)
Hi hi!l'm glad you lot liked my rots dhrufbjfnf here's more!! Fun fact: I actually wrote this a while ago, I just found it!
Hear me out: Jin Woo with a shy!s/o who can sing like a Siren but thinks their voice is bad
I think the first time he heard them sing he'd be shocked. First time he heard them sing was when he was an E- rank while reader thought he was asleep.This being after a particulary rough raid. Kinda just singing random melodies to help him sleep. When he asks about singing, s/o denys it using the excuse of the radio playing.
(When he hears a recording of the same voice, it's from Jin Ah's phone as a ring tone. Jin Ah doesn't dare tell him, being sworn secrecy by s/o, saying "oh, it's just a friend". It would be funny if this is something Jin Ah holds over him too ajdbhdbd)
After his second awakening, I'd imagine he'd finally hear the singing again. when he arrives home early without his s/o noticing using Shadow Exchange Divine melodies floating though the space, just to find his s/o by themselves filling the silence. Wher his presence is acknowledged his s/o is startled af and gets shy, denying profusely while blushing up a storm.
Jinwoo is now seriously considering trying tobuy a copy of his s/o's voice recoding from JinAh. (Jin Ah did not take the offer and insisted it was made for them, teasing him EVEN MORE)
Mf treats it like a forbidden fruit. aluxury that he keeps trying to indulgein. Jinwoo's been trying to find a way to hear them sing again but s/o hasbeen successful in his evasion after that one time sjbdidj.
(He thinks the shadows are helping them .. He is 100% correct)EVEN THE SHADOWS GET TO HEAR THEM SING DIRECTLY TO THEM (ONLY ONCE OR TWICE BUT STILL)(doesn't even include the ones when s/o is just singing to fill the silence)
Its even more funny if it BOOSTS MORAL foR The ShADOW ARMY TOO. Sure Jinwoo can hear them sing through the shadows but its muffled and nothing compares to hearing it in personally.
I think it would eventually accumulate to Jinwoo arriving home on a particularly bad day, drowing in his own thoughts. And reader being the only thing that pulls him out of it.
Jinwoo barely registers coming home at all, taking of his shoes. Nothing. Just him and his thoughts. The abyss threatening to take hold ofhis mind.
Eventually he comes to his senses.
First thing he registers, is a voice. After a while, it's then fingers combing through his hair, and then the surrounding softness.
He's in bed, cleaned up, with his head laying on his s/o lap.
Opening his eyes, Jinwoo sees s/o staring into space while feeling their running fingers through his hair. Serenading him with the same melodies from the first time Jinwoo heard them as an E-Rank.
He doesn't dare break the moment of peace.
When his s/o notices he's back, there's palpable relief, no shyness or doubt: And after checking in on eachother, they enter a comfortable silence before switching positions so Jinwoo is laying on s/o chest before exhaustion takes hold completely.
The next morning, Jinwoo asks how he got cleaned up. Still in bed, and nestled in eachothers arms, his s/o very quietly confessed to just giving him commands while singing to getting himself cleaned up. But also notes the aid from the shadows too.
(The shadow soildures taking comands from his s/o? S/o comanding him like a siren??? Questions for another day)
Then he asks about why s/o doesn't sing around him. After a bit of resistance and wiggling in protest. Flustered, shy to high heaven and unable to escape Jinwoos grasp, s/o admits that they think their singing is bad.
What.?
( The same voice thats Jinwoos been trying to hear again for months?? The same voice that his-sister uses a recroding of against him? The voice that shadow army worships to a concerning degree?? That voice??)
After some silence, Jinwoo proceeds to reluctantly confess his obsession with their voice. The jealousy he has for his sister and the army hearing them sing before he could once again. (Hes kinda pouty but dosent want to admit it ajndjdn).
All while showering them in affection, giving playful kisses here and there. Jinwoo savours how cute their s/o becomes as they fluster under the attention and giggle about his pettiness.
In the end, s/o agrees to stop hiding their voice from them.
A few days later, Jinwoo receives a recording from s/o of them singing a familiar melody.
If he proceeds to lowkey rub it in Jin Ah's face, then it's none of our buisness.
After that, Jinwoo picks up the habit of sneaking up on his s/o singing and not saying anything untill their done Even teasing them a bit, before showering them in compliments wth the most lovestruck look. (Theres something so domestic about coming home to his s/o singing that fills him with so much love, that it makes him more determined to protect)
Its to the point that Jinwoo will ocassionally space out if he hears his s/o singing though his shadows… Has he gotten distracted durring sparing sessions with other s-ranks or during meetings because of this? Yes. Does he care? Absolutely not. Will it happen again? Probably.
(Even funnier if he has a blank expression while spacing out scaring people unintentionally)
It would be even sweeter if Jinwoo starts calling them "little siren" much to s/o flustered dismay.
The basic premise is that your pinky finger has a small thin ring that acts as a small manifestation of the string connecting you to your soulmate. The main idea is that the ring gets warmer the closer you are to finding your soulmate, and If the bond is accepted by both parties, it thickens as if both soulmate rings are side to side, kinda becoming a twist of both soul rings.
For indviguals with awakened soulmates, it glows the color of their partners mana,The brighter it can glow, the more powerful the soulmate is. Usually, for regular unawakened individuals it's just a thin grey band. In the events that the soulmate dies, the ring turns black.
Honestly, I'd imagine there would be a market for gloves that cover the pinky specifically because of hunters and regular civilains wanting to keep their soulmate status private or for safety.. what about ones that reduces the feeling of the soul bond?Using mana crystals to negate the heat or the brightness of the soul rings, so it isn't distracting??
General Ideas:
Childhood friend reader, looking at their fingers suddenly to the soulmate rings glowing.. oh its fine, they must be a hunter and just awakened. but then reader realizes that the colour of the ring is a verry familiar color...the one of their best friends...
Maybe even poly. Like imagine having not one soulmate but TWO AWAKENED. Sure its not common but it happens, so reader covers it ans goes on their day.. untill one day your watching a broadcast with two very specific hunters. Their eyes glowing verry familiar colours... the ones you see everyday. On your pinky.
Imagine like your childhood friends as a soulmate so you try to get rid of your soul mark forcibly because you don't want to be a burden.!! Imagine the angst potential of your soulmate catching you trying to cut off their "tie to fate" because of insecurities.
OR OR!! Imagine the agony of watching your soul ring go black.. Even worse if it's an awakened soulmate, meaning they died on a raid.
Character Specific Ideas:
You're Jinwoo's soulmate. As your minding your own buisness and all of a sudden your soul ring changes from usual blue and flickers black. You stare in horror, but in an instant it flicker back to normal. Over the course of weeks you notice that the mana changes from its regular blue to a shade of purple.. like WTF??? Is he okay???... Why is starting to glow brigter and brighter when before it was just super faint before??
You're Liu Zhigang's Soulmate. A fellow S-rank hunter and you develop a friendship with Liu Zhigang over the years... Knowing that your two are soulmates, You decide to not approach the topic simple because of the reality of being a hunter and not wanting to ruin the close friendship you have with Zhigang. Then durring a dungeon break, something happens. Theres an individual who culture veiw soul rings as sacred. They're panicking about their pinky being exposed. You give your pinky cover to them without hesitation. At the time you don't realize or really care because your priorities are at protecting the civilians and closing the gate. It isn't untill after everything you see Zhigang staring at you with an unreadable expression a contrast to his usual self assured confident. Confused, you ask what's wrong and then you realize it, like a splash of cold water. He can see your ring.
Anyone Familiar with thay tiktok trend of '"soulmates being able to hear the other sing, even across universes???" I am being HAUNTED by all the ALL THE POSSIBLE prompts as a result of them hearing us/reader singing while doing random things. Do the aches of their heart ease as your voice cradles their head like an embrace as you sing songs with calmer vibes? Or smile at the sillyness of what you sing? Even cringing occasionally at our voice almost screeching at times.
Imagine this: Caelus is in a meeting, and the contents of the conversation are a matter of life and death. Everyone else is dead serious. He, too, should be dead serious but can't. Why??Caelus can only hear us singing WAP. Voicecraking and all. He knows he KNOWS he should be conentrating on this, and he is. But is he fighting for his life not to burst into laughter? Oh absolutely 💯
Oh God, imagine the irony they're more conservative about sex and stuff, Welt? Dan Heng? Especially GEPARD. Imagine them having to deal with listening to us singing the VILEST lyrics just because it's a banger sjbdnsjns
I betcha on the other hand Sampo would find it hilarious if he hears us singing CPR or Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley (because of the Easter Egg from the Masked Fools. (I'd imagine Jing Yuan would find it amusing)
On the other hand, what about the longing to comfort reader, as they sing really depressing songs while having a mental breakdown? (I sing to vent, and I change the lyrics to suit my feelings) Do they get worried? Do they feel helpless at our suffering?
Even hearing us singing lullabies, do the characters find comfort when we sing those as well?? Does Blade find his Mara being reduced to almost nothing when he hears us sing? Does Jing Yuan feel at peace and can't help but doze off ?
Do the older members, i.e., Welt, Jing Yuan, Blade, and Dan Heng, those battered down by life, find comfort when hearing us, knowing that we are somewhere among the stars? ( This is especially imactful when, for the longest time, all they heard was silence)
Even singing in a different language, especially one that's unfamiliar. Imagine Dan Heng, searching the archives just to find any traces of the language that is being sung in their head. Even consulting Welt about it. He wants to understand, to get closer, but how? All he has is your voice being the guiding light towards finding you.
In Welt's case, what about recognizing the song that you are singing was from media from his world? (But in actuality, its also in our world too?) Does make him want to go home faster? Or does it make him want to explore longer so he can find you?
