headcanon where the rfa-v-saeran are in love with MC but they're in an unhealthy relationship with someone else where suddenly physical abuse happens for the first time and MC is so traumatized that they end up flinching at something that the rfa+v+saeran do, that's how they find out about it. you choose if you want everything to end platonically or romantically~ gracias!!
I’m sorry that this took me so long, but I hope you like it! This one was definitely interesting for me to write. However, I would like to say that most of these end on lighter notes, even though they deal with abuse. I’m sorry if that comes off as romanticizing it in any way, but I assure you that that was not my intent. As it is a request based around the topic of abuse, there’s obviously abuse warnings
You and Yoosung were going to hang out for the night and you were on snack duty, so you came to the dorm after stopping at the convenience store
He shouted a greeting through the dorm saying he only needed another five minutes while you were setting your wallet and keys down
When you walked over to his desk, it looked like he was playing rough map and he had headphones on, so you decided to stay quiet and look through a book that was on an end table
Once you had settled in to the other chair and started the novel, you noticed that he was banging his mouse slightly with how much he was clicking it
You tried to ignore it but then he started to practically yell at the monitor
At this point, you were curled up into the chair, an instinct to make yourself smaller
Yoosung turned around in his chair in exasperation while taking off his headphones then noticed how you were sitting as his eyes widened slightly
You were trying to speak but you couldn’t without stuttering slightly
“S-sorry, Yoosung. You just s-scared me a bit-t” “Nononono, MC! I’m really sorry for getting angry. Are you alright?”
Taking a few breaths before you were to explain, you started moving to sit normally
“Yoosung, please don’t think any different of me when I tell you this, alright?”
In response, he just nodded wildly, forgetting about his game
“So remember when Zen asked me if I was dating anyone, and I said I just got out of a relationship? Key words, got out. I was, well, it was abusive, and I didn’t want to talk about it. You’re the only one of the RFA I’m telling for now, so please don’t say anything yet. Anyways, they would always yell at me before they would physically hurt me, so I associate someone yelling with that. I didn’t, I didn’t mean to freak you out or anything. I’m sor-“
Yoosung was not having this, but didn’t want to make you any less comfortable so he tried to keep his face straight
“MC! Don’t apologize! It’s, it’s not your fault at all. I should be really sorry, and I am. I got annoyed, because I’ve been in this area for the past four hours, and I haven’t been able to get a drop. I’m really really sorry! I’ll try my absolute best to not yell around you again, MC” “Thank-thank you, Yoosung” “Can I, can I hug you, MC?”
You nodded slightly and he practically teleported he went so fast to the chair you were on to hug you
“You’re really strong for going through that, MC, and I promise I won’t tell anyone else unless you say it’s okay”
Nodding again, you let him stay like that for a few minutes before offering to get up and get the food so you could watch the movie
Once you noticed he was crying ten minutes in, you laughed slightly thinking about how considerate he could be and how he wouldn’t hurt you
Nice to know for our, I mean, the future
You were staying at his home since he got injured again, mindlessly watching some random soap opera while chatting in the messenger
Jaehee: I can’t believe that Zen is doing three roles in different productions at once.MC: Yeah, he’s not home much, and when he is, he’s practicing linesJaehee: He can only work so much. I hope he doesn’t work too hard.MC: It’s more promo pictures anyways lolJaehee: Very true! The ones that came out today are already saved on my phone
The front door opened with Zen finishing up a phone call
MC: Be right back, Jaehee. He just got back, and he looks a little pissedMC has left the chatroom
“-Yes, have a good evening, Sir” “Hi, Zen! How was tonight’s rehearsal? You sounded exaspera-“ “It was awful. Nobody could get their shit together while starting the dance numbers, and the director kept yelling”
He went on for a few minutes, ranting while putting his jacket and bag up by the door and waving his hands around
While he was turning around to face you with his hand still moving, you flinched slightly
Zen stopped talking instantly and put his arm down just as quickly
“MC! Babe, I would never hit you. I’m so sorry that you would think that! I promise that I’ll never go off aga-“ “Zen, it’s fine. I didn’t think you would,” you paused to word this correctly, “It’s just what I’m conditioned to do. Like a habit”
Half of you wanted for him to drop it, another part wanted him to ask so that someone would know
Besides, you trusted him the most out of RFA anyways
Back to the present, Zen looked downright personally attacked by what you said
“Why,” he stopped to fathom what would make you think any of this, “Why would someone hurt you? Who made you act like this, because I swear I will-“ “Hyun, please stay quiet, so I can explain”
He stayed quiet and led you to the couch so that you could both sit down
“It-it’s my significant other. When they hit the bottle, they, well, they hit me. I just flinch now whenever it’s similar to that. Not-not saying that you’re like them-“ “No no, I know what you mean. I swear that I won’t treat you like that ever. Could you maybe tell me who they are, because I’ll fight them outside the Wendy’s”
(I’m sorry, I know it’s meant to be serious, but my mind went no. Wendy’s is a fast food chain that’s established in around thirty countries)
Laughing slightly, you pointedly told him no and said they were in jail anyways
After your conversation, you noticed Zen was being quiet and you knew something was up
Rather than push it, you just sat with him and continued to watch your shitty soaps
“Hey, ah, MC?” “Yeah?” “Would you maybe like to go out with me? I just, well, I realized that I thought you deserved far better than what your significant other is giving you, and I’d like to try to help. This kind of helped me realized how much I’d like to date you. I swear that I’ll take on any repercussions that they make”
Again, two parts of you were weighing your options
You may’ve just gotten out of a bad relationship, if you went with this, and it seemed like a pretty okay idea
“That sounds good, uh, yeah, yes, Zen. However, it might take me a bit to be fully okay with everything”
“Really? I mean, yes, of course. No worries if you need time”
You both ended up crashing on the couch that night, with the dramatic shows still looping in the background
After you had been dating for a few months, you noticed that Zen hadn’t been drinking any alcohol whatsoever
You just smiled, content with the new life you were living
Seven: (Route spoilers right off the bat. I’m sorry! Based on what actually happens in the route, this’ll probably seem ooc, but I’m trying my best!)
After Seven’s acclaimed twin had left, you were pretty shaken up by the ordeal
Seven was acting really distant as well, and that wasn’t helping
Since he acted much differently on the messenger, you were sure it was your fault he was acting so cold
Trying to do something that could lighten his mood, you made some lunchIt may not be a bag of chips and a can of soda, but you figured this would be better
You walked up behind him and tapped his shoulder since he had his headphones on
He turned around far too quickly while yanking one half of his headphones to the side
“MC! Don’t bug me, you have no reason to, so just stop!”Around after he said your name, you dropped the plate at the slight outburst and he didn’t realize it until he stopped
“S-sorry, S-sev-seven!” you spoke hurriedly with a heavy stutter while you were getting on your knees to clean up the food and plate shards, “I-I didn’t mean t-to make you mad-d. I’ll, I’ll get this picked up as soon as possible”
You were surprised when he silently got off his chair to help but finished cleaning up what you could with shaking hands
Going to get a trashcan, you heard him mumbling “stupid” and “an idiot” and thought the worst then subconsciously prepared to get yelled at while dragging it to where the plate was dropped
Seven, on the other hand, was trying to figure out why he was clouded enough to not realize that you had been abused earlier
Granted, you didn’t talk much about it through any messaging service or social media and didn’t join any support groups or the like, but he still should’ve known to avoid all this
“Seven? I, I know you’re angr-“ “MC, it’s alright. I didn’t mean to make you panic; I didn’t realize what had happened for a few seconds. I’m an idiot for shouting when you were just bringing me food. Even stupider for having you pick up most of it”
He smiled sadly for just a second before bending over to get all of ceramic and food mess into the bag while you were silently standing, stunned
“MC? Is everything alright?” You nodded as if you were shaking something off “Yeah, yeah, I just thought you were going to slap me or something. I mean, I made a huge mess and you were already pissed at me and I was getting in the way and-“ “MC. I would never, ever slap you, okay? You’re never in the way, alright? I’m trying to keep all of this together right now, and I shouldn’t have snapped when you were trying to take care of me”
You were confused because you were certain that he was only going to start yelling in a few seconds
“But you were calling me stupid and an idiot when I went to get the bin?” “No! Nononono, MC, I was calling myself that, because I hadn’t put it together until then and I make you panic” “Put what? Oh, uh, yeah” “Yeah, I won’t ask you anything about it unless you’d like to tell me, but I understand. Personal experiences are shitty”
Seven offered another slight smile before going to speak again
“I’ll try my absolute hardest to not do something like that again, I swear to God. Nobody deserves to go through that, and especially not you. I’m going to drop whatever stone cold bitch façade I was using to tell you this right now, I care about you a lot, MC. Like a whole fuck ton, and I was pushing you away, because I’m really, very dangerous. I know that I keep saying that, but with the people I’m working with, I can’t have someone that I care about. However, I promise you that once everything is sorted out, I’ll be able to act better for you”
Once again, you were silently stunned at the apology and confession he just gave
You moved to hug him and he did just that, keeping you as tightly as he could for a few seconds
“Thank-thank you, Seven” “Absolutely”
Jumin: (Also one filled with route spoilers, sorry)
While you were staying at his apartment, he noticed that you were frequently texting someone and you always seemed to be wincing whenever it sent
As a matter of fact, he saw you wincing a lot whenever you bumped into something or got up
Jumin didn’t want to push it, but when he kissed you in front of the Chois and you tried to push him away as fast as possible, he decided to ask once they left
“MC, I am so deeply sorry for doing that. I pushed myself onto you, and it is completely unforgivable. Even though I want to keep you safe here, you can most definitely leave if you wish. I can’t believe I would do that to you, but I don’t have a good grasp on reading your emotions and I sincerely apologize for my actions” “No, it’s alri-“ “MC. What I did was horribly wrong. Don’t feel bad for leaving whatsoever” “Jumin, listen for a second. My reaction made it seem like I was disgusted, but don’t get the wrong idea. I’m sure this is confusing, so just give a little bit to explain”
He looked really confused but just nodded and gestured to the living room so that you could speak sitting down
“Jumin, I’m going to straight up tell you that I didn’t mind that you kissed me. It was how. I’m currently in a relationship-no, don’t freak out over making me “unfaithful” or anything-that’s quite abusive. My partner constantly forces me to do things with them. They’re who I’m texting, because they’re angry that I haven’t seen them in the past week. They’re also the reason I’ve got bruises on my sides. It scared me a bit when you did that randomly, but I don’t want you to think that I want leave right now, especially when it’s to keep me not dead”
Jumin nodded in response, but he didn’t look confused anymore; he looked both downcast and angry
“I can’t believe someone would do that to you, MC. Please tell me you’ll get away from them soon. I can’t stand to think of you getting hurt that way and forced to do things like that for them. If you need me to help with contacting someone or lawyers, I assure you I’ll find the best internationally for you. If you’d like to continue whatever we’re doing right now, I swear that I’ll always ask before I do anything and make sure it’s alright”
At the moment, you didn’t realize you were crying silently, but it wasn’t out of sadness, no, it was joyful
“Thank you, Jumin. That’s more than enough. Could you help me write a script of sorts for when I call them to dump them?” “Most definitely, MC. Anything I may do to help” “And Jumin?” “Yes?” “I’d quite like to continue what we’re doing”
He looked slightly surprised at what you said and eager to help you draft your phone call
After nearly an hour of deleting and rewriting what you were to say, you collectively decided to fuck it and just call
You were greatly anxious but Jumin’s presence was calming, especially the fact he was whispering encouragement while the phone rang
“Yes, hello…No, that won’t be necessary…I called to tell you to go fuck yourself…You heard me perfectly well…Because I’m not putting up with this anymore…Not only is it disgusting, you can’t do anything to stop the fact I’m leaving or the fact I found someone else…Yes, he’s quite nice. Would you like to speak to him?”
You swore that you had never heard someone monotonously swear that much and you were silently laughing while Jumin was using explicits every other word in the Business Guy voice
He hung up after you gave a “Bye, bitch!” and you broke down into laughter and speaking in between it
“Thank-oh God-thank you, Jumin. You-fuck, that was hilarious-you helped me out more than I can imagine, and this is probably the hardest I’ve laughed in months. Seriously, thank you,” you decided to mimic his Business Guy voice, “Mr. Han”
This time he started laughing too and that fueled you to continue
Definitely something to remember
After you both had calmed down, you were both silently looking at the other fondly
“MC?” “Yeah, Mr. Han?” “Sh-shut up” “Make me”
You stopped for a second, thinking about the invitation you just put out there
“Can I kiss you?” “Yeah, you dork”
Scratch what you said before, this was something to remember
While you were at the party, V had noticed that you had someone else with you, but assumed it was your current partner
The fact that you had someone had him crestfallen, but he reminded himself that they made you happy and that’s what matters
Little did he know, you were getting yelled at outside for interacting with one guest and that “cotton candy-haired asshole” too much
That is, until a security guard came up to him mid-conversation and informed him of two people outside
He decided that he wouldn’t be told if they couldn’t take care of it, so he followed them out to see you trying to get absorbed by the outside of the building and someone yelling at you
“Excuse me? Why are you harassing, MC, the coordinator of this event?”
“Wouldn’t you like to know, you blue-haired fuck” “Yes, I quite would like to know if you could stop being a jackass”
No matter the fact that this was serious and you weren’t a six-year-old, you snickered quietly at the fact he swore
“Actually, you’re not worth my time. MC, could you explain please?” “Oh, uh,” you glanced at your partner and smirked just a bit, realizing you finally had witnesses, “Jihyun, this is, this is my abuser. They were trying to act possessive by shouting at me out here. Actually, they were telling me that I can’t talk to you or take care of my job”
V had already blanked at the word abuser, now fueled with hatred but keeping the calm appearance
“They, they’re your what? Never mind, I already heard it. MC, I’m getting you out of that arrangement as soon as possible”
He simply nodded to the guard that had brought him to the scene then offered his arm to you so that he could take you back inside
While you were walking back, realization of what you had done was settling in and you started to visibly shake
“MC? Is everything alright? Never mind, another stupid question. Hold on for just a second”
He had you sit at a table that was near the entrance where the least people were and got you a glass of water from a server walking by
“What you did was really brave, alright? You were able to do in a couple of seconds what I couldn’t throughout an entire relationship and then some. I promise that I’ll keep you protected from them,and they will never be allowed to come into contact with you again, okay? I swear that on my life”
Nodding with a shaky smile, you drank some of the water and thought everything over again
“Thank you, really, V, thank you. For helping me end that and helping me calm down”
After you conversed about random things for a while just to calm down, he escorted you back to the main area where everyone else was
Seven walked up to the two of you with a grin on his face
“What were you two up to? Screwing in the bathroom?”
You glanced over to see a red-faced Jihyun and you could’ve swore you heard him mumble “I wish” to which your face also heated up
“L-Luciel!” “That’s my name! Plus, I heard what you just said, V!” “No, you didn’t” “Keep lying to yourself!”
Seven left with a cheeky wink and the both of you blushing wildly like awkward teenagers
Hmm, not a bad idea, though, Seven
“Yeah, not bad at all, Luciel”
You ended up getting winked at again with your face feeling hotter than before
You came over to hang out with Seven at the bunker while Saeran was staying there
Turns out, Seven got assigned some new project and had to start it right away, but you didn’t feel like going back to your apartment
“Hey, Saeran?” “What do you want now?” “Bitch, I walked through the door and I haven’t even spoken to you today” “…Fair point. Continue”
“Since your brother’s working, do you wanna do something?” “Like?” “Watching shitty movies with ice cream?”
Ice cream was the way to Saeran’s heart so he agreed upon the mention of it
You were at least 87% sure he wouldn’t have agreed if there wasn’t ice cream involved
Going to the kitchen, you noticed Seven brought his equipment out into the living room
You were kind of confused, considering he’d probably want to be somewhere with no distractions
Saeran, on the other hand, glared at him
You were going to the freezer get a gallon out while you heard the brothers bickering
“What’re you two talking about?”
Seven flatly said “You” while Saeran hurriedly said “Nothing!”
The red-head earned another glare when he gave a thumbs up to you
You just shook your head with a smirk while getting a scoop from a drawer along with two bowls
“Seven? You want any?” “Only if I’m allowed to put chips on it”
Half-laughing and half-sighing with a smile, you got another bowl while Saeran walked into the kitchen after telling his brother to “just fuck off already”
You were getting the bowls filled when Seven started yelling out and swearing at his laptop
The scoop clattered to the floor when you had jumped at the sudden outburst
Saeran looked bored by it, but when he saw how panicked you looked, you couldn’t quite place what emotion he was displaying
“Uh, you alright there?” “What? Oh, uh, yeah, yeah, the yelling just sorta reminded me of something” “Are you sure you’re alright?” “To be honest, no, but can I tell you later?”
He nodded and bent down to get the scoop before rinsing it off and finishing getting everyone’s food
You brought the bowls to the couch and set Seven’s next to him cautiously while warily looking at him
Saeran made an assumption, but decided to just wait for you to explain
Seven gave a quiet thanks and you still looked slightly panicked but Saeran tried to distract you
“MC? Come sit by me” “Al-alright?” “What do you want to watch?” “Oh, whatever you pick is fine”
He shrugged and flipped through channels until deciding on some psychological thriller type movie
Once he noticed his brother put his headphones on, he decided to ask about it
“Could you explain now? I don’t think Asshat over there is listening if that’s what you’re worried about” “Yeah, I-I can; just please don’t react harshly. Right now, I’m in a relationship that I’ve kept from RFA, and Seven shouldn’t have been able to tell either. It’s fairly abusive towards me, and when your brother shouted, it reminded me of last night’s beating. I, well, I get kind of worried when I mess stuff up, so I thought he’d be mad at me even though it was only his work. But, yeah, that’s why loud noises make me react like that”
He stayed quiet for a few seconds before speaking quietly but clearly
“I will fucking kill them, MC” “Saeran! No, it’s-“ “Don’t say it’s alright; we both know it isn’t. How dare they hurt you?” “Saeran, I’ll get out of it soon. It’s just-“ “MC, as much as I would like to stay calm about this, it’s not ‘just’ anything. You shouldn’t be treated like that, and I want your abuser six feet under”
Knowing that he could very easily murder them, you tried your best to get him to stop thinking about it
Finally, he got quiet again and you were able to relax back into the couch
“MC?” “Mhm?” “Could you-I can’t believe I’m asking this-could you lay by me? I would just hug you, but I don’t want to hurt you, since you’ve got injuries” “You’re a fucking dork, you know that right?” “Just be quiet and come over here…if that’s alright” “Of course it is”
After setting your bowl to the side, you moved over to be by him
“Is this better, Saeran?” “Much” “Good, ‘cause I feel safe like this” “Really?” “Mhmm, its nice to be by someone that has a comforting presence” “MC, I literally kidnapped you” “Yeah, but okay, yes, you kidnapped me” “See?” “I can’t explain it, but I like being by you” “Me too”
You both stayed like that until the credits rolled and Seven was giving his brother another thumbs up
Once you were sure Seven wasn’t paying too much attention, you spoke again
“Thanks, Saeran, for giving me someone who I could confide” “Anytime, MC. Though the murder offer still stands” “I don’t need you winding up in prison, alright?” “Seems fair. Can we still at least trash their car?” “Oh, hell’s yeah” “Now?” “Now”
You both got up while smiling wildly and Seven just stayed focused on his work
Saeran grabbed his jacket by the door and told his brother that he was going to go slash some tires
Walking to your car, you opened his door and bowed sarcastically before going to your seat and starting up the car
Smashing those windows and scratching in words and cutting up tires made you feel the happiest you had been in a while
After you both got back in the car and headed back to the bunker, it was nearly two am, so you decided to stay over
“Hey, MC?” “Yes, Saeran?”
You noticed that he stayed quiet and looked up to seeing him with a slightly red face
“Mind staying with me tonight?” “Not at all”
I really hoped that you all liked this one, but I will gladly change anything that isn’t right or add something that you would like. I hope you all have good mornings/afternoons/evenings, and much love to you all!
