Mystic Messenger Headcanons Nobody Asked For
Nobody asked me to do this. I just love them, maybe even more than I did ten years ago! The list was growing in my phone, and I needed to extract the ideas from my brain.
I tried to write this as gender neutral as I could! 🫶🏻
ZEN
— About him
Sensitive to fragranced skincare products. Any skincare with perfume in it makes him break out.
Very self-conscious about his teeth. He smokes and drinks, which will inevitably stain his teeth in the long run. He is frequently taking care of his teeth, flosses multiple times a day, and even whitens them.
He loves wearing jewelry. He flirts with the idea of getting a helix piercing all the time.
— Dating him
He teases about the flavor of your lip balm. He’ll ask: “What flavor is it today?” before sneaking a kiss!
His favorite dates are the cozy game nights between the two of you. Takeout, a couple of beers, and his favorite person who can call him out on his competitive streak? Sounds like heaven.
Big fan of PDA, even if his management and Jaehee protest against it for both of your safety. If you’re cold, he’s pulling you close so you can both stand in his coat.
YOOSUNG KIM
— About him
I WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT THIS: OVERGROWN. ROOTS. Also: get this man a bottle of purple shampoo to tone out some of the brassiness.
Huge keychain collection! He has a drawer that is jammed full of keychains that he can’t pry open.
He loves visiting cat cafes to help him de-stress after finals!
— Dating him
Lots of study dates with Yoosung. He’s changed majors so many times, and scholarships are starting to run out; he needs to lock in! You’re usually the last couple of people to leave the library at closing time.
He loves matching with you. It’s always the little details that he loves: matching friendship bracelets (that you made together!), hair clips, buttons and pins, and the like!
His love is pure; you are each other's best friend. It can be a little comical at times, but it’s cozy, and it feels right.
JAEHEE KANG
— About her
She owns several lint rollers. One for her purse, one for her car, one for her office desk, and one in Jumin’s car.
She is guilty of downloading stress relief apps where you can take care of a plant. They receive more care than her.
She loves to collect blind bag goodies! She will decorate her desk at home with the little figurines she’s collected.
— Dating her
Love is patient, love is kind! Jaehee will need her time to grow in her love, but you are everything she has wanted. Don’t settle for less; settle for more.
She celebrates all of your wins. You’ve been her biggest supporter, and she wants to build you up as you’ve done for her.
You two go on a trip after she quits working at C&R and it’s pure bliss. You have an agenda, of course, but there’s no tight schedule to obey. No imminent deadlines. Just new places to try at your pace!
JUMIN HAN
— About him
He smells GOOD and RICH!! Crisp citrus and amber, with leather and suede. 🙂↕️
Surprisingly, he enjoys Western media a lot. He’s intrigued most by reality television LMAO. Could you imagine him watching The Kardashians? LOLLL
His search history is insane. It’s mainly Saeyoung’s fault. There’s a lot of gibberish that he will share, and Jumin has found weird guests for the parties that way too.
— Dating him
Like a cat, he just enjoys being in your presence. His favorite time spent with you is when he gets to sit quietly while you’re getting ready in the morning.
He’s not big into PDA because of his scrutiny in the public eye. However, he is the type of man who will put your freezing hands into his coat pocket to warm them up.
So many blurry photos of you and Elizabeth the 3rd. He even goes as far as having them printed and framed to put on his desk at work to gaze at when he’s away from you two.
SAEYOUNG CHOI (707)
— About him
I WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT THIS PART TWO: ACID. REFLUX. This man lives off of citric acids. You should be worried for his esophagus.
He loves calling cats ‘cars’ and teasing Jumin about it 😭 “elly is my favorite car lolol”
His hands are freezing since he works at a desk all day. He might even sneak up behind you to shock you with his icy hands on the back of your neck.
— Dating him
Love with him can be rocky, but it becomes so easy, silly, and solid. You can always count on him to crack a joke, but become serious at a moment’s notice.
Your yes-man. He has so many interests; how can he not encourage you to pursue what draws your attention?!
You are That Cosplay Couple. Immaculate costumes, wigs, and props. He loves that you indulge in his hobbies. 😌
JIHYUN KIM (V)
— About him
He’s an avid fan of Birkenstocks. 😔 put those toes awayyyyy 😭
This man loves K-dramas. You cannot tell me otherwise! even tho his life is straight from one
Really appreciates detailed wood and metalwork. I could see him collecting engraved pipes. This leads to his love of antiquing. It’s canon (lol) that he has a large camera collection, but he loves antique and vintage cameras most.
— Dating him
He would adore matching outfits and jewelry with you as well.
He loves little reminders that you’ve spent time together. He adores any physical media that proves your relationship. Polaroids, handwritten letters, photobooth strips, and movie tickets.
Flowers from him all the time. He saw them, and they reminded him of you. The reason is always just because. Oh, these flowers? Because first thing this morning, you told him you loved him.
SAERAN CHOI (RAY/UNKNOWN)
— About him
He volunteers at local pet shelters!! Being around the animals eases his anxieties; he specializes in caring for the senior animals.
It’s a foreign feeling for him to be taken care of, instead of being the caretaker. He will adapt quickly to domestic life to show his gratitude to others. He enjoys cooking and baking, especially for his loved ones.
He taps into his creative side quite a bit after leaving Magenta. He’s enamored with candle making, embroidery, and the like. Keeping his hands busy prevents his mind from wandering.
— Dating him
Life with him is so quiet and peaceful. Something you’ve both craved since… who knows how long. You are his peace, and he is yours.
You have your own language together. You’ve both learned each other so intimately that it was natural to have little signals when you’re tired and want/need to leave.
He always screenshots your texts because he just can’t believe you're in his life. 🥺
RIKA KIM
— About her
She has a very sweet, soft singing voice. She can be heard humming while she’s volunteering.
The Catholic guilt is strong in this one. With encouragement, she starts therapy and embraces the hurt little girl who deserved more than what she received in her heart.
Loves doing her makeup. The routine is relaxing to her, and she gets to experiment with the endless artistic expression makeup provides.
— Dating her
All she wants is you. Yes, there is so much she wants to do with you, and she feels so free. But most importantly: you’re there next to her.
She loves when you play with her hair. She will immediately melt into your hand. Bonus points if you braid her hair.
This love is new to her, and she’s afraid the darkness will come back. She will need reassurance and lots of patience. Thanks to you, she is learning to love herself anew.
