How about Jumin helping MC get over a fear of cats?
He expected and assumed many things just talking to her over the messenger and phone. One of those things is that she liked cats, as she always complimented Elizabeth the 3rd, and more importantly always respected her. Technically that isn't wrong. She assures him that she really does love cats! At least...the idea of them. Apparently there was a time she tried adopting all the neighborhood cats in her town.
Unfortunately, she was quite young at the time, and didn't know the difference between 'strays' and 'ferals'. One such feral cat, when cornered by the very young girl, scratched her directly in the face. Although she escaped the ordeal with only a scar near her eye, it was apparently so terrifying that she'd been quite traumatized at the time.
He'd been distracted the first time they met, and Elizabeth disappeared so quickly he hadn't noticed...but the next time she'd come to his house, his fiancee, she'd paled at the sight of Elizabeth. Of course, it makes sense to him that she might be stressed and nervous just remembering that recent ordeal by seeing Elizabeth, so he simply lets that pass, ignoring it in favor of focusing on her.
When she's sitting on the couch and Elizabeth suddenly leaps into her lap, however, she screams and falls out of the couch.
It's rather hard to ignore that.
For a moment he panics, afraid that Elizabeth had scratched her on accident, or that she'd been hiding an injury, but as she shakes and trembles like a leaf in his arms, she quietly admits...as much as she loves cats, she's terrified of them. It's confusing and a bit distressing - although he's agreed to take Elizabeth the 3rd back from V, if he must choose between his future wife and his cat, he'll send her back to V immediately, and he rather doubts V will complain under the circumstances.
...She doesn't want him to. Both for his sake and for her own. She insists that she really does love cats, and she is intent on overcoming this fear. As much as he's concerned about pushing her, he can't help the swell of pride in his heart at seeing how the woman he loves refuses to be ruled by fear. He knew before, but she really is stronger than him.
He immediately goes out and hires the most expensive psychologists and doctors that he can. He's never really researched into phobias before, although he'd offered to do so for Zen in the past, and so he covers his bases and reaches out to all possibilities.
She chooses not to mention it to the RFA, and so he chooses to neglect to mention it as well.
She visibly trembles when she reaches out to touch Elizabeth, and when the cat flops onto her back, his fiancee jerks her hand away immediately as if afraid of getting burned, panic briefly flashing in her eyes. It takes everything in him not to immediately scoop her up and remove her from the situation.
There's no getting over a phobia quickly, even with all the money in the world, but she works hard at it. He gently holds her when she needs to be calmed, and speaks to her gently to encourage her when she makes attempts to interact with Elizabeth.
Elizabeth drops into her lap again and this time she merely freezes, looking slightly pale and sweating in either fear or concentration. His fingers entwine with hers, and she grips hard enough to hurt.
He encourages her when she tries to make steps forward, he praises her wholeheartedly and unabashedly when she makes progress, and when she can't manage to do something or slips backward, he supports and soothes her, holding her close and speaking gently so that her trembling stops, or her grip on him relaxes.
He can't help that swell of pride when she coaxes Elizabeth to jump into her arms and doesn't flinch when the cat headbutts her chest.
Her eyes are wide, sparkling with excitement and expectation as she looks up at him, and he can't help but feel like he's fallen in love with her all over again just in that moment.
Despite all of their best efforts, it still takes a long time before she's completely at ease with Elizabeth, and longer before she's not a little jumpy over sudden alley cats that end up in her path, but she never gives up, and he doggedly remains at her side, supporting her regardless of how much progress she does or doesn't make, never judgmental, never impatient, never pushing her too far and overwhelming her.
She finally tells the RFA about it on their second anniversary, glowing with pride and satisfaction.
On a personal note, Zen's utter bewilderment is somewhat satisfying and amusing to him.
He recommends Zen the same psychologist who'd helped her.
Naturally, Zen rejects it before he can even finish.
