I know that most of the people who played (or to be more precise replayed because is something you may not catch at the first sight) Jumin's route concluded due to the nightmare/flashback Jumin has in day 6 that his stepmother has been sexually harassed him when he was around 16/17. And if the flashback in V's route is something to go by that was probably his second stepmother.
But what Jumin implies here is something even worse: that ALL of the women who passed by his father side did the same thing (or at least, this is how it felt for him) Because what other thing could they want from him? They already have the money, the fame, an stable position in the company (this according to Jaehee).
Of course Jumin never address the interest that women have in him as sexual, because that's how hard his repression of sexuallity is.
He only knows that they want "something" from him. When they are women who go after him, not his father, is easy for him to say they are after his wealth and he isn't wrong (as probed by Sarah) but sometimes that isn't all (as mentioned by Jaehee with the women of the Cultured Citizens)
But when they are women who go after his father, and they already have everything they could ever want from him, and they still look at Jumin for "something"... Well I guess this is from where the rumors about Jumin being gay come...
I wonder how far you have to go to expect an erection from a man? I don't think just by flirting you can expect anything at least you think the guy is a pervert. Im suddenly remembering that scene from Edward Scissorhands where the creepy neighbour trow herself over the poor Edward but fortunately she fell and he run away confused.... Just how far they went? And how many?
According to Jumin, besides the creepy stepmother Chairman Han had a girlfriend visiting the house every 3 months, that would make from 4 to 8 women if Jumin left for College at 18. But not only that, Jumin has to put up with these women at work too because his father insist on giving them a position in the company too. (And thus enabling situations in which he can be potentially harassed again, the goldigger who dates the old man while sleeping with the son is so cliche nowadays... And certainly couldn't have helped having Jumin getting more and more handsome with the years)
This kinda of makes you understand Jumin's behavior in Jaehee's route a little better and why he didn't wanted Jaehee working in the coffee project, because the project was handed at Jumin's department. If Jaehee does it is likely to succeed because she is just that good. Which means he would have to work close to his father girlfriend and expose himself again to that kind of situation.
Is like his mind never gets to rest, because which every girlfriend he gets to revive the traumatic experience again and again and again. He never gets to heal, because every time he tries to close the wound, a new woman appears to trow more salt at it. Or, to say it with his words "every woman who passed his father side tangled his threads more and more"
Now just think how much this must have messed up Jumin's head, this is like an Oedipus complex at the 10000 potence... Just... Ugh...
3 MORE hc of rfa + v & saeran for your hungry souls
warning: bland writing from not being active for three years, pregnancy mentions in jumin’s, zen’s, and saeyoung’s, something a bit spicy in v’s, and of course also spoilers for each person’s route
please interact to this post to let me know this fandom ain’t dead yet but otherwise enjoy. checkout my page for previously made hc’s of these goofballs :)
l o a d i n g . . .
jumin han
on stressful days, all he has to do when he finally sees you at the end of each day is loosen his tie, plop right next to you and hold your hand, huffing out his frustration every now and then and gently squeezing your hand as if it could squeeze his anger away. the feeling of being near you is all he needs.
you knew you had to show jumin the pregnancy test the second it turned positive. he would look at it with a rare, surprised expression before returning to a cool, collected expression. your heart dropped when he left your guy’s bedroom with nothing but a quick “excuse me,” but your worries went away when he returned with several blueprints of how to redesign the penthouse, and which areas on which floor of the c&r building could be the best spot for your child’s playground (he dedicated a whole floor instead)
despite the luxury and convenience of high end luxury life, every once in a while you both disguise yourselves as ordinary citizens in the countryside and enjoy romantic apple picking dates, carnivals and other fun moments (with c&r security nearby as well as a compromise with your overprotective husband)
hyun ryu (zen)
this man is a die hard swiftie fan. this man cries for every single live performance he sees of her. he also loves singing her more romantic songs like “lover” to you. (and he did propose to you during her performance of “love story” when you surprised him with concert tickets.)
you always make sure april fools day doesn’t overshadow his birthday- something he appreciates greatly. he doesn’t mind the pranks by rfa and is used to it, but to have someone who puts that day aside to celebrate him- it makes him feel loved and seen. (which is why he’s on edge the day before and after his birthday, which is when you both will attack pranks on each other. he never knows when until you start.)
couple years pass and you’re expecting. you’re both ecstatic- and he uses every morning before getting ready and every night before he sleeps to talk or sing to your growing stomach- it could be about the latest gossip, nursery rhymes, a song from broadway he really likes, or how it really bothered him that yoosung doesn’t break his kitkats before eating them.
jaehee kang
best believe that jaehee’s cafe hosts the most amazing karaoke nights ever every month. she goes all out for this and even entrusts the help of seven to make audio and visual effects perfect for her guests.
eventually, she caves into the rave of owning a dog and gets a golden retriever named coco. coco helps her out around the restaurant after receiving proper training to take menus to guests who sit down in the cafe. jaehee loves coco so much that eventually she uses her as a mascot for her cafe and brand.
when it’s time to swap out the menu items for more festive items, creative jaehee comes out. that’s also when the counter is littered with ingredients- syrups, shots of espressos in cups or on herself. her hands are sticky and sleeves painted with varying shades of brown. and you’re right beside her covered in the same sticky mess, and nothing warms her heart more than seeing you help her create new menu items and helping get creative feedback from the rfa before finalizing the seasonal menu.
yoosung kim
have you not heard that this man is ornery? he eats kitkats without breaking it. loves his pineapple on pizza dipped in ketchup. loves his french fries dipped in applesauce. he knows you like making fun of him for it but also purposely does it if it means getting you smiling and laughing
as a veterinarian, he knew the risks it came with emotionally. so when he loses an animal on the table he shuts down. he gets home with a rain cloud over him and a dark and stressed out expression on his face. he immediately reaches out for you and hugs you tightly the moment he gets home. he cuddles you a little longer and holds you a bit longer and closer than usual. and you just hold him and let him cry it out, and he loves you for holding him and giving him and his emotions a place to be held in, and not make him feel any less of a man for it.
once a month before he proposed to you, yoosung would plan special planned out dates that he doesn’t warn you about, nor prepare you for. he makes it extra special- a secret picnic in a flower field, a cute aquarium date where you go behind the scenes and touch some animals, a romantic beach date at sunset. he would plan these every month to make sure he doesn’t make it obvious he wanted to marry you. he wanted to propose only three months after dating you but he dragged it out so you would feel loved and special in the relationship.
saeyoung choi (707)
hear me out- fishing dates. he loves taking you out to go fishing and, if you’re willing, teach you how to fish and catch one for you. he also loves making sure you have your share of fun while he waits for the fish to catch the bait. if it means making flower crowns with you, crocheting a sweater with you, or reading a romance novel so you can rant all about it- he’s all for that too.
he has his solemn moments when things get stressful. he gets home and may open and close things a bit harder and snap at you. but the moment he realizes what he’s doing is how you shy away and close yourself off in the bedroom to cry. he takes a moment to calm down and comes right back in the bedroom with a bag full of gas station snacks, a hug and kiss, and a sincere apology. he holds your hands so gently and holds you like a glass vase about to break. he doesn’t want you to feel the same way you felt long ago back at rika’s place. he has grown and wants you to feel and sense that he’s a new person ready to love and be loved by no one else but you.
after you told him you were pregnant and had time to reboot his senses like a microsoft computer update, he went straight to work updating the security system, baby proofing everything- he even baby proofed the security system. despite the anxiety of being a new parent and how much he’s worried about safety, he loves your baby bump and kisses and cuddles it every chance he gets.
saeran choi
this man HATES slang. not because it’s beneath him, he just doesn’t know how it works or what it means. this poor man gets bombarded by yoosung and saeyoung’s constant and daily use of slang and it’s gotten to a point where he carries a notebook around to write down every piece of slang he hears. (it’s even funnier when he pulls it out to speak to yoosung and saeyoung so he better understands what he wants to say.)
despite being out of date with the slang, he loves using tiktok. mostly for the cooking and baking, but he loves seeing date ideas for the both of you. places to travel, lockscreen ideas, he loves them all. he doomscrolls a lot though, so eventually he put a timer on his phone to prevent him from doing it a lot (since he also want to spend time with you. ironically you both switch to your phone when his screen time on his app shows up and start doomscrolling until the ungodly hours of the night. this eventually also stopped.)
he loves tea parties with you. he makes the invite and everything. it’s fun and filled to the brim with tea and sweets and you both also dress up for it. you spend the time of your life together talking and eating sweets and tea. it’s a serene and peaceful experience that he loves planning and seeing you enjoy.
jihyun kim (v)
he’s loves nature hikes. not because of the potential for photographs but because he can bring you along. photograph the beautiful view of the landscape behind you, that surrounds you both. he loves making camping weekends and spending time under the stars with you.
he’s definitely the one who hosts everything and no one argues with him. friendsgiving, christmas, new years, birthdays- everything is hosted by v at your guys place. he makes sure that the decorations are perfect and that there’s enough food, drinks, and fun activities to keep the party going. he loves getting the place ready to see everyone enjoy themselves and spend time together with you.
he most certainly is the type of friend to take embarrassing pictures of others and keep them on his phone. it’s gotten to the point where he cannot find a decent picture of anyone, nor of himself. he tries to go through them and delete it because it takes up so much space but he can’t bring himself to, so he opts for flash drives labeled with the name of each individual rfa member. (he does have a flash drive of when he had a boudoir photo shoot for you. he tries not to look at it so much but it man does it drive him crazy to see you so sexy.)
Jumin in the English prologue : Everyone. Stop shitting around. And you, INTRUDER, tell me who you are or you will pay >:( I don't tRUST YOU
Jumin in the Korean version : [disappointed dad voice] Can we please stop with the nonsense ? Stranger, how about you reveal your identity ? Doing suspicious things like this might get you into trouble, you know ?
