I’ve only personally played DnD a couple of times with my friends but I couldn’t help but imagine the RFA playing :p
Yoosung
Plays a simple human paladin
Forgets that he’s also meant to be supporting the party and charges into every situation
“There’s a cave-“
“I LIGHT UP MY SWORD-“
“......”
As a result, he keeps dying in the middle of battle, causing the rest of the party to have to constantly go out of their way to heal him
He gets very into roleplay, which came from his constant LOLOL sessions, but is terrible when it comes to any kind of seduction missions.
“She looks at you Yoosung with wide, flirtatious eyes~”
Nat 1 on composure, especially when MC is DMing
Zen
Doesn’t quite understand the appeal, but will play anyway because MC asked him too
Plays a high elf wizard
Because “the elves are the prettiest” and “the wizard is the magic class, right MC? With the spells?”
Unfortunelty, his inexperience + a level 1 wizard causes him to follow in Yoosung’s footsteps and die in almost every encounter.
“I cast.. um.. fireball?”
“Roll.”
“....a 2?”
MC be kind to him
He usually doesn’t roleplay much, but when it comes to the seducing missions?
This is the boy for you. Natural 20 charm right there.
He gets SO into it
Jaehee
She understands the game even less than Zen does
Yoosung made her character for her, a half-elf cleric because she’s the mum of the RFA
“A cleric?”
“Yes Jaehee.”
She always ends up using all her spell slot healing Zen’s character, much to Yoosung’s complaining
“I cast-“
“Jaehee that was your last spell slot..”
“Oh... what am I meant to do now?”
“You could... punch the goblin?”
Jaehee ends up multiclassing as a barbarian after she gets more into the game purely so she can stop playing just support and beat the shit out of the enemies
Ends up carrying the team through most of the encounters
Jumin
Oh boy
“MC I don’t understand. You want me to pretend to be someone else, in a made up fantasy world, and kill things for money?”
“......yes?”
Chooses to be a human fighter as that logically made the most sense to him.
And why would be pretend to be a made up race when he already knew how to be a human?
Relies WAY too much on rolls to do things and refuses to roleplay
“Do you want to say hi to the bar-“
“I rolled a 15 MC. What does that mean?”
“J-Jumin just walk up to her and say hi.”
“Do I have to roll for that?”
“Jumin no-“
Spends way too much time working on a backstory for his character that never actually gets revealed
“How can I play a character which an unrealistic childhood, MC? It is extremely over the top for both his parents to have been caught in that fire. The father must have been on a business trip.”
Seven
You already know what’s going on yall
We all know Seven would be that player
Gnome bard. All the way.
“I ROLL TO SEDUCE” is his catchphrase
What’s even more annoying is that he gets a high roll almost every time
“SEVEN NO YOU CAN’T BURN DOWN THE VILLAGE-“
“IM CHAOTIC EVIL I CAN DO WHAT I WANT-“
“THAT’S NOT HOW IT WORKS-“
He probably gave his character the most tragic backstory of them all “just cause”
He brings a different instrument to the game session every week to use when he’s bardically inspiring someone, much to the dismay of the rest of the party
Gets super into the roleplaying.
Are we at all surprised?
Has definitely cosplayed his character for a session more than once
V
Much like Jumin, V doesn’t quite understand the point of DnD
But if MC wants to play, who is he to say no?
Ended up choosing an elven druid after reading up on the different backstory of each class
The idea of being one with nature was quite appealing to him
Only problem is he has no idea how to help the party- in any circumstance
He’s misreading dice, adding the wrong modifiers, accidentally attacking the party instead of the creatures.
“I cast.. vicious mockery on... that one?”
“V THATS MY CHARACTER YOU WEASIL-“
One time, he ended up critical hitting an ogre and killed him in one hit, much to the surprise of the RFA
He was pretty chuffed with himself for the rest of the game.
“Maybe this isn’t so bad-“
He ended up dying a few rounds later after pissing off a dwarf
Saeran
Surprisingly, Saeran was actually up for playing when you asked him to
The idea of being able to be a different person for a while was very appealing to the boy
He ended up choosing a tiefling rouge from a starter set who he ended up designing himself
Much to everyone’s surprise, the character’s backstory was actually the modest out of all of them
“Why would I give them a tragic backstory? Don’t you think they’re going through enough?”
Protect
Is always the one who’s looting the monsters or splitting the party without permission
Yet somehow hasn’t ended up dying yet?
Saeran doesn’t roleplay either, not to anyone’s surprise, but he does offer the occasional input into in character mission planning just to make sure seven doesn’t end up making them do something extremely stupid that would get them all killed
During quarantine, my dad and I have been taking long drives and visiting some of the nearby forest-y places, how do the RFA and MC spend their time together?
Speaking of, I hope everyone out there is having a safe quarantine, including you anon (ɔ◔‿◔)ɔ ♥ I hope this satisfies what you had in mind! I had to write it twice cause I deleted the first draft...
RFA during quarantine
Yoosung
His first instinct when he thinks about being stuck inside for the next few months isn’t how he’ll be spending it with you...
No, instead his first instinct is to turn on the computer
LOLOL ALL DAY EVERY DAY BABYYYY
Of course, with the increase in players and traffic to the site, the game appeared to be getting a lot more maintanance than it usually would, which annoyed the blonde boy.
“I’m meant to be doing a raid today MC! What am I doing to do now....”
“...Well for one you could do something with me?”
“Oh yeah!”
After finally tearing him away from his computer, the two of you decide to be productive during this time and learn a couple new skills!
First week: Cooking.
Of course, it would be easier to learn about such a thing if the supplies in the shops weren’t extremely limited, causing you both to have to make up substitutes as you went along.
You almost burnt the kitchen down twice in one week
You gave up with cooking after that
It wasn’t entirely a bad thing, you even got Yoosung to invest some of his time into your favourite games, which to your pleasant surprise he seemed to genuingly enjoy!
A few weeks in, he found an old guitar from high school in storage.
Worst. Discovery. Ever.
“Yoosung no...”
“YOOSUNG YES”
The next few days were filled with the sound of out-of-tune plucked strings overlapping the various youtube videos Yoosung was ‘learning’ from.
“Hey MC, I think I can finally play Hey There Delilah!”
“That’s wonderful honey...”
Zen
This man was SO EXCITED to spend lockdown with you and immediately started to plan all the wonderful things you two were going to do together.
The beast certainly had a few ideas as well
It was domestic bliss for you two
You couldn’t get your hands off of eachother for even a minute
You did everything together - eating, sleeping, showering etc.
The RFA commented on how suffocating it was, but neither of you seemed to mind.
It only solidified the knowledge that you two were destined to spend the rest of your life together.
A few times, Zen had caught himself almost calling you his wife, causing him to immediately hide his face away from you in fear of you commenting on his sudden blush.
There was a downside however.
Zen’s routine was in shambles
Products were sold out left right and centre, food shopping was even worse, it was driving him crazy.
You found yourself having to remind him that a break in his rountine wasn’t going to be the end of the world and that you loved him regardless, even if he got a pimple or two.
Don’t even go there MC
You found yourselves cooking together more often too, showing Zen how to prepare more meals that were normally out of his diet range.
Of course, it wasn’t like he could resist your cooking anyway.
Whenever you two got a little too stir crazy, he would take you on motorbike rides through the city, more often than not resulting in you two at the top of a mountain stargazing.
It turned into a weekly tradition, one which you both promised to keep up even after quarantine.
Jaehee
You would think that the lockdown would give Jaehee the break she so desperately needed, right?
You would be wrong.
With the cafe closed, this girl threw herself into her work just for something to do
Much to your dismay.
It took a lot of persuading for her to get up from the computer and spend time with you during the initial first few weeks, but it was definitely worth it.
This girl was also extremely prepared to the lockdown before it was even announced.
Sanitiser? Got it, she had spare incase the cafe ran out
Masks? No problem. She had many still in storage from the days she would force herself into work even whilst sick
Again, much to your dismay
You suggested that instead of doing mindless work on her computer that she could help you with a different project you had in mind.
“A project? Whatever could we do in a time like this?”
Redesigning the cafe!
It was something the two of you had talked about many times before quarantine, but had never gotten round to going through with it.
You both took it upon yourself to fill your day with physical and mental labour, pushing around furniture, painting the walls, coming up with new bakes and sales to draw the customers in etc.
It was hard, but it was so worth it.
During the evenings, you two would bundle up together on your sofa and pick a set of movies to watch before bed.
One of you always fell asleep before the end- not that either of you would mind.
Jumin
Out of all of the RFA, he was definitely the closest to breaking the social distancing rule
The idea of not seeing you- touching you- for an unknown amount of time was driving him crazy.
Mr We-shouldn’t-move-in-together-until-marriage was certainly about to rip that view right out of his head just for the chance to kiss you again.
He distracted himself by constantly checking up on you.
“Do you need food? I can have one of the guards stop by a local shop to grab- what do you mean everything is sold out? Can’t they just order more?”
“Jumin no-”
You had to teach him about video calling so he would stop asking for selfies every ten minutes, disputing his claim about how he ‘was already missing your beauty’.
It went about as well as you might imagine it would...
“Press the little video icon to turn on your camera- no the other one. It looks like a small- NO JUMIN THAT’S THE MUTE BUTTON.”
When you did eventually get it working, he was more than thrilled to be able to talk to you face to face again. He even looked up how to take screenshots on his computer so he could save them.
“You know MC, this platform has a lot of potential uses...”
Down boy its only been a week.
At first you thought just video calling him was enough to satisfy his need to see you, hoping he would stop complaining about ‘missing your touch’.
That was until Driver Kim showed up at your door.
“Mr Han has asked that you pack your bags ma’am. It seems he is rather fond of the idea that you spend this quarantine with him instead.”
Of course he does.
You are thankful though, you missed him more than you were willing to admit.
Saeyoung
This boy spends his life indoors anyway, he barely registered the lockdown announcement when it finally came.
But when you brought up the idea of spending quarantine with him instead of in your own apartment, that’s when his interest finally peaked.
He picked you up in one of his babies, grinning from ear to ear as he helped you with your small bag of things.
“Operation 707 and 606′s lockdown extravanganza - COMMENCE!”
To no one’s surprise, he had hacked into the shopping network the moment he knew basic supplies would become sparse and ordered everything you both would need to come straight to his doorstep.
Which in his eyes meant a dozen boxes of Dr Pepper and Honey Buddha Chips.
“Saeyoung.....”
He would often complain to you about being an ‘essential worker’ because he was still hacking even in the lockdown, but you quickly shot him down.
“MC! You’re so mean! I’m doing this for you! Reward me!!”
The only reward he got was a pillow to the face
When he wasn’t working, the two of you spent your time playing games and watching movies mostly, with the occasional prank call to Yoosung sprung in if you were extra bored.
As much as he joked around about it, Seven was genuinely thankful that you chose to spend such a delicate time with him instead of alone, and made sure to remind you of it at least once a week.
Sometimes he’d go out of his way to cook you your favourite meal, sometimes he’d run a special bubble bath and light some scented candles for a relaxing night, sometimes there were other things too-
But he was genuinely happy to spend every day with you like this, it reminded him of how lucky he was to have you in his life.
Jihyun
Jihyun was concerned at first about the lockdown and his career as a photographer.
Where was he going to go now? Where would he find his inspiration?
His questions were thankfully answered when you walked through the door.
The two of you started a small project amongst yourselves to try and spread some positivity in the community involving V’s photographs.
You’d find inspiration around the house you shared and create these elaborate photoshoots between the two of you that you would share online, encouraging those at home to do the same.
It actually became rather popular, so the two of you continued it.
Your personal favourite entries were the photographs from Jumin as he tried to capture Elizabeth in all her glory but failed miserably.
It was the effort that counted though
When you weren’t taking photos, Jihyun was constantly entertaining you with various activities and puzzles, leading to your weekly board game tradition which was one that you very much enjoyed.
Living in the countryside, you were lucky enough to be able to spend your exercise out in the wilderness with your boyfriend, mindlessly cloud gazing and discussing what the future could possibly have in store for the both of you.
You made sure to spend this time making Jihyun feel as loved as possible too, showering him with little gestures of gratitude for his efforts in keeping you sane during this scary time, which only made him fall in love with you more.
Saeran
Stuck.... inside...?
For months???
OH HELL NO-
Saeran was not about that lockdown life, and immediately went into a grump only you were able to drag him out of.
“Saeran it won’t be so bad! I’m sure it’ll go by in a flash!”
“....You’ll stay with me for it?”
“Of course.”
The two of you slowly get into a comfortable rhythm with eachother, with the you both making sure to give each other space if the other felt suffocated or emotionally drained at any point.
You find yourselves searching around the house for anything you could possibly use to entertain yourselves, eventually stumbling upon a pile of old jigsaw puzzles you had forgotten about.
And thus a tradition was born
Both you and Saeran discovered your love of jigsaws during the quarantine, finding them to be both mentally stimulating and emotionally relaxing at the same time.
Plus, the satisfaction of finishing one you had been working on for the last few hours was extremely satisfying to say the least and quickly became one of your favourite activities to do with Saeran.
You ended up asking Seven if he could do you a favour halfway through the lockdown when your boyfriend had had a particularly hard day, and low and behold, a whole box of ice cream appeared at your doorstep a week later.
“...MC how did this get here?”
“Must have been a miracle darling. Now, how about a movie night, hm?”
Whoa another mysme writer! Woo hoo!!!!I love the couple of stuff that’s been posted so far 💙💙💙 do you accept just RFA headcanon requests or can we request individual characters too
Awe thank you! ☺️ Both regular headcannons and/or individual characters are completely welcomed!
RFA with an MC who likes to cuddle when she sleeps
Because we could all use a cuddle or two rn 🥺
Yoosung
The first time he wakes up and feels a heavy weight on his chest, he flat out panics.
What’s going on? Why can’t he move? IS HE GOING TO DIE?
Down boy...
It isn’t until you squirm against his chest and nuzzle your head into him that he remembers where he is and who he’s sharing a bed with.
Now he’s just blushing
He wouldn’t dare wake you, not on his LIFE
Instead, he wraps his arms around your waist and snuggles into you in return, rewarding him with a soft, happy sound from you subconsciously.
Yoosung practically melts on the spot
Definitely makes sure to cuddle you more often after that
Zen
Beast beast beast beast-
Normally he wouldn’t mind during the day if you wanted to cuddle on the sofa or hug him from behind as he made you breakfast.
But when you practically latched onto him when you slept in the dead of night, this boy was going to have some- cough- problems
Especially after those special nights where you forgot to put your clothes back on afterwards
Waking you up though? That was out of the question. This man will endure a drop in his beauty sleep schedule if it meant you got a full nights rest, no questions asked.
Usually though, he manages to fall asleep with your head snuggled into the crook of his neck, holding your hand that’s resting on his chest as it slowly rises and falls.
His favourite thing though is waking up to you cuddling him, waking you up with a kiss and watching you squirm into him even more.
C U T E
Jaehee
Jaehee isn’t much of a cuddly person, preferring to spread herself out when she sleeps. However when she wakes up in the mornings to an MC cuddle prison, she can’t find it in herself to be annoyed.
On the mornings when she doesn’t have to get up before you, she’ll pull you closer in your sleep and run her fingers through your hair as she reads through her emails, waiting patiently for you to wake up.
One morning, you practically purred when she started stroking you hair and Jaehee couldn’t think straight for the rest of the day.
Not that she can think straight any other day
That night, instead of rolling off to her side of the bed immediately to sleep, she instead decides to try and stay up a little longer, waiting for the inevitable MC cuddle prison time to commence.
When it did, she ran her fingers through your hair and smiled at the warm sound it granted her.
Okay... maybe cuddling wasn’t so bad after all
Jumin
Much like Jaehee, this boy isn’t one for cuddles.
“MC it’s hot and sticky, I don’t understand it necessary when you can hug me whenever you want when we’re awake.”
Jumin no-
You end up cuddling him in your sleep anyways of course, because it’s your bodies natural response to having a warm presence beside you.
Jumin was still awake when you did it for the first time, and upon feeling your body curl around his from behind like a koala, he freezes and immediately turns around.
Of course, that doesn’t stop you, snuggling into his chest instead.
MC 1 : Jumin 0
On the nights where he decides it’s too hot, you’ll pout and end up cuddling the duvet instead, stealing it from his side of the bed and bundling it up in your arms.
Now he’s too cold
“MC.. perhaps.. your sleeping preference isn’t as bad as I initially believed it to be...”
“Jumin just get over here and cuddle me.”
Saeyoung
Does it really come to a surprise to anyone that this boy would also be a sleepy cuddler?
It’s the battle of the cuddles
You two start the night off peacefully, with him happily spooning you from behind and dozing off to sleep.
You’ll wake up the next morning with the duvets and half the pillows thrown onto the floor, half on top of a snoring Saeyoung who’s got his arms caged around your waist.
You physically can’t escape his grip, this boy is much stronger than he looks, and you either have to wait until he wakes up or wake him up yourself to escape.
Sometimes he’ll wake up before you and glance down to see this beautiful woman peacefully curled up against him, face nuzzled into his chest like a sleeping kitten.
Those mornings are his favourite
He definitely has a picture of you sleeping as his phone wallpaper
Jihyun
This boy doesn’t even know what an embrace is. A cuddle? Completely foreign territory for him.
The first time you try to cuddle him as you fall asleep, he doesn’t object, but he does question what you’re doing.
“Jihyun we’re cuddling. It makes me feel safe when I fall asleep in someone’s arms..”
Well in that case-
This boy makes it a habit to softly pull you close to him when you start drifting off to sleep, occasionally kissing the top of your head until he knows you’re unconscious.
Like Zen, his favourite thing is to wake up with you curled up next to him, reminding him of how happy and lucky he is to have you by his side.
He’ll always wake you up with a soft kiss to the forehead, playing with your hair until you wake up and can kiss him properly.
Saeran
Of all the boys you could have picked, you hadn’t expected Saeran to be a sleepy cuddler.
You had half expected him to throw you out of bed when you tried to curl yourself around him.
He didn’t, lucky enough, but he didn’t return the embrace with as much passion as you did either. That didn’t matter to you, you were more than happy just to have him by your side as you fell asleep.
What surprised you however was when you woke up in the middle of the night to find him clinging onto your nightshirt, pulling you close to his chest and holding you to him possessively as he slept, a small smile on his face illuminated by the moonlight outside.
Oh if you had a camera right now-
You made a note not to mention it to him, because you feared if you ever did he would never cuddle you at night again, but you did start adjusting your sleep schedule to wake you up a little earlier than your boyfriend purely to watch him cuddle-sleep you.
Quarantine has thrown me back into my old fandoms, as I’m sure it has for many, and I’ve been reading Mysme headcannons all week so I thought I’d throw my hat back into the ring
Yoosung
Yoosung’s been working for the royals since the day he was born, being from a poor family
His parents were the personal servants for the king and queen back in the day, that’s how they met.
Naturally, when the two best servants of the castle had a son, they had their eyes on the boy
Rika was Yoosung’s mentor and taught him all he needed to know to get comfortable in the palace
He still can’t cook though
“Rika look what I made!”
“...Yoosung are you trying to poison the princess?”
“Princess??”
The first time Yoosung meets you, he bumps into you in the corridor carrying a load of clean sheets
You both end up on the floor, sheets flying everywhere don’t worry Yoosung Jaehee will take care of it
The poor boy is already apologising before he even looks up and realises who he just bumped into
Now he’s not just sorry-
He’s horrified
He knocked over the princess!!!1!
Immediately he’s on his knees, gathering up the sheets and apologising over and over- poor boy looks like he’s about to cry.
But you aren’t angry at him. No- you start to laugh
“Mistakes happen! It’s okay- here let me help you!”
Yoosung watches in awe as the princess starts to help collect the laundry for him
She’s not meant to do that?!?
“I-it’s okay it was my fault-“
“Nonsense. I wasn’t watching where I was going, I am just as much at fault as you are, okay? No hard feelings!”
And then she
giggles
Yoosung’s down for the count- game over
He meets you again the next day and his face just bursts into a bright shade of red
“It’s you again! Looks like we keep bumping into each other, huh?”
Hahaha kill me now Rika quick my heart can’t take this
It takes Yoosung a few weeks to get used to seeing you around the palace without making a total moron of himself every time
You even manage to have a few delightful conversations before you’re whisked away for some royal duty
It took even longer for him to actually introduce himself to you
“Yoosung? What a sweet name...”
Good job MC you killed him again
Zen
You already know this dork is the most famous actor in the whole village
He puts on a play every week in the town square and the people love it
He eats up all the ladies’ attention, I mean,,
Are any of us surprised?
“Zen! You were amazing tonight! If I didn’t know any better I’d say you’d even have impressed the princess if she saw you!”
Little did he know, she did see
When you heard about this so called ‘handsome actor’ down in the village of course you were going to go investigate for yourself
With the help of some of the maids who you confided in Jaehee, you manage to sneak down into a village just in time to see the performance for yourself
Naturally, you were hooked
Good job Zen you made the princess horny have a cookie
Of course Zen continues to perform every week, non the wiser to the newest addition to the audience
That was until one night where you accidentally locked gazes with eachother and he saw this girl smile for the first time
Dumb bitch forgot his next line and got a deadly glare from his co-star
After the performance, Zen immediately ran into the audience, ignoring the swarm of fans that surrounded him as he looked around for the girl he saw in the audience
In that brief moment, Zen was so entranced by her that she hadn’t left his thoughts since. She was so beautiful, she even reminded him of the princess.
Funny how that is
That’s when he spots you, diving into the dark streets of the village in a dark cloak
“Excuse me- yes I’m so glad you enjoyed it- yes- excuse me- coming through!”
He pushes past all the fan girls and full on sprints after the princess, ignoring the shouts coming from behind him.
This lovesick fool is convinced he just met the love of his life and he wasn’t about to let her get away
Eventually he manages to catch up to you and grabs your shoulder before you can leave again, giving him a brief moment to catch his breath.
“Why princess, leaving so soon? I never even got a chance to say hello~”
He meant it as a flirt.
He didn’t expect to look up and be talking to the actual princess
Shit fuck shit shit oh fuck-
“I- I mean- um-“
“They did warn me you were bold...”
You tease him with a small smirk on your face, watching Zen’s face morph into panic upon realising who you were.
“I normally hate being called princess... I’m open to making exceptions however. Your performance was incredible.”
You lean forward just then and place a chaste kiss on the actor’s cheek, pulling away with a small blush on your face.
“Perhaps we’ll meet again at your next one.”
And just like that- she’s gone
Zen is left in the empty streets, stunned, flustered, and completely convinced this princess was going to be the death of him.
Regardless, he’s practicing for next week’s performance before he even gets back home
Jaehee
Everyone in the royal family knows that maid Jaehee is the best in the kingdom.
She’s perfect at her job in every way, and always knows how to make the royals feel as comfortable as possible living in the castle.
Need something cleaned up? Call for Jaehee.
This food doesn’t taste quite right? Call for Jaehee.
Princess needs a personal maid? Call for Jaehee.
When the king and queen first approached Jaehee on the subject, she initially refused, telling them that although she was extremely flattered they had thought of her, she didn’t want to abandon the rest of the duties around the castle.
But the king and queen insisted, only wanting someone they trusted to help their daughter.
And who would be stupid enough to deny a request from the royals themselves
Jaehee was forced to accept the position.
It was difficult having to adjust her priorities with the new job. Jaehee no longer was in charge of the castle as a whole, but rather her focus had to be entirely revolved around you at all times.
Though you were incredibly nice to her, she tried her best to keep things professional as one should. She never spoke up, never crossed her line as a maid and always did her job perfectly.
....at first
One night, you requested for Jaehee to accompany you on a walk around the castle, and of course the girl was happy to oblige.
She quietly listened as you rambled on, talking about your passions, listing all the things you had to do that day, etc.
Everything was fine until Jaehee spotted a rather shady individual approaching you two from behind, but was a second too late in realising they had a knife.
Within an instant, they aimed the blade at Jaehee’s throat and ordered the princess to come with them peacefully, or the maid ‘gets it’
Oh no honey, you don’t threaten Baehee
This girl takes down the man in a flash, barely giving you time to realise what had just happened before guards were surrounding them.
“Oh I- I learnt a few martial arts moves from the knights when I was younger.. it was simply a hobby..”
“YOU HAVE TO TEACH ME JAEHEE!”
“I couldn’t possibly Princess-“
“PLEASE!”
....
The next thing she knew, the princess and her maid would sneak out every night for private self defence lessons
The maid grew to look forward to those evenings, the one-on-one time with eachother giving you and Jaehee time to bond and properly grow as friends rather than simply working under the professional environment of the castle.
Jaehee was able to relax and show her true colours to the woman she was dedicating her live to every day, which only made your ‘friendship’ stronger.
“My father told me today that he’d have to start looking for suitors for me to marry soon..”
“Oh... have you got anyone in mind, your highness.” Why do I feel so upset
“...perhaps.”
You never spoke of that conversation again.
That didn’t stop it from keeping Jaehee up at night though
Jumin
Oh this boy is already a royal. I mean.. do I need to explain myself?
You and Jumin actually met when you were just children, your families visiting eachother often in order to form alliances.
Everyone always said how cute of a couple you two would make when you were older, cooing over the two children who just wanted to play swords.
Let the children play swords King Han come on!
Eventually, the alliance that Jumin’s kingdom and your kingdom had broke apart over petty quarrels, and the two children were ripped apart, likely never to meet again.
“Jumin!! I don’t want you to go... I thought we were going to play king and queens...”
“Don’t worry MC, I’ll become the greatest king of my kingdom, and then I can visit you whenever I want. Doesn’t that sound wonderful?”
...
As the years flew by, Jumin’s childhood friend became nothing but a distant memory, his future as king being his primary focus.
His father was constantly bringing many woman into the castle, claiming to his son that she could be the new queen until she disappeared a few weeks later when he got bored of her.
It made Jumin despise the idea of marriage, making a silent promise to himself that he would never marry once he was on the throne, no matter how many woman threw themselves at his feet.
One day, King Han recieved message that another woman had arrived at the castle, asking to visit the prince.
Jumin initially marked it off as another woman trying to convince him to marry them so they could become princess, and told his father he was not interested.
“My son, one day you will take over this kingdom of mine, and when that time comes you will need a woman to help you bear an heir. Send her in!”
Mr-I-Won’t-Marry remained in his chambers during the woman’s visit, refusing to even give her the piece of his attention.
But he couldn’t avoid her forever, eventually having to leave for supper, where he discovered the woman having a polite conversation with his father.
Great. Another one had fallen for his tricks.
“If you have come here to attempt to marry into the royal family, I suggest you leave this instant before I call the guards.”
“Oh Jumin.. you don’t recognise me do you? It has been a long time. You haven’t forgotten me entirely, have you?
“.....MC?”
Surely enough, once the pieces began to fall into place, Jumin instantly recognised the kind and beautiful woman standing before him.
How could he possibly forget such beauty?
“I’ll leave you two alone to catch up! It has certainly been a while, princess. Please make yourself at home.” Use protection son
Once you and Jumin had started talking, he quickly fell into his old habits of conversating with the princess, having forgotten how easy it was.
“Remember when you told me you would become the greatest king of this kingdom Jumin? Oh naive we were back then..”
“Yes. Though I still plan on taking over my father as soon as possible. I think it is about time that the contract of our kingdoms’ alliance is revisited, don’t you?”
“I couldn’t agree more.”
Saeyoung
Every good kingdom needs a little spy dog- Right?
At least that’s what your kingdom agreed upon when they hired a young boy off the streets to come work for the palace
Saeyoung had a pretty good life growing up amongst the court, which was a startling difference to the village below. He wasn’t there just for fun though.
The king and queen needed to keep the village in check, to make sure there were no riots or attempts to overthrow them. That’s when Saeyoung came in.
This redhead acted as the kingdom’s informat, regularly taking visits down into the streets to chat up the royals, learn of any criminals who had plans to tarnish the good reputation of the court and quell any possible rumours of a rebellion amongst the common folk
He was real good at it too, and everyone in the kingdom loved Saeyoung with all their heart.
Protect the boy
One day, he was taking his weekly trip down to the town when he sensed he was being followed, and immediately put himself on high alert.
He would wonder through alleyways, zig-zag through the busy streets in the hopes of losing them. Nothing worked however, which forced the redhead to confront his stalker head on.
To his surprise, upon cornering the figure in a dark alleyway in town, he was met with the face of the princess, full of guilt and annoyance over being caught.
You explained how much you had wanted to visit the town and see the nitty-gritty of what it was really like to live there, something that was always hidden from you during royal visits.
And Saeyoung had to admit, this chick had some real kick to her
He still dragged you back to the castle though
He thought that would be the end of it, but the very next day he felt the same stalking presence behind him as he left to go into the village
That sneaky little-
“My my~ Princess, if you wanted to spend time with me all you had to do was ask.”
Your face blushed a bright red at the comment, coming out of your place of hiding in defeat at being caught once more.
You waited for Saeyoung to take you back to the castle immediately, however, the sturn instruction never came, and you look up at the boy to see not anger, but a large smirk on his face, a hand outstretched towards you.
“One day. That’s all you’re getting. Got it, Princess?”
To say you were overjoyed was an overstatement.
At the end of the day, Saeyoung was almost disappointed to have to take you back to the castle, finding the two of you made incredible companions together. Spending time with you was one of those few moments where he could genuinely smile and laugh, not forcing it politely in front of the royal family or a group of rioters who he needed to win over.
No, this was new.
The next time Saeyoung had to visit the village, he was almost disappointed to find that you weren’t behind him. So what did this idiot do?
Continue to do this job alone like he was being hired to?
Or climb up the side of the castle towards the princess’ chambers?
If you answered B, congratulations
Luckily for both parties, You were sat on the balcony, looking longingly out into the world like a Rapunzel waiting for her Prince Charming.
“Hey Princess!” Oh would you look at that
“I heard there was a group of bandits that were going to rob a local store tonight. It would be a shame to have to stop them alone.... unless purrrhaps you felt it was necessary for me to be accompanied by someone?”
“Oh, do you need a guard?”
“Wha- no, Princess I meant-“
“Can the great Saeyoung Choi not beat a group of bandits on his own? Or does he need the fragile princess to beat them for him?”
“Marry me”
Jihyun
It was your birthday and your whole day was filled to the brim with celebrations of every kind
It was exhausting
All you wanted to do was to sit down for more than ten minutes without a guard finding you and dragging you back for your next activity.
You even tried to hide in the maid’s quarters until Jaehee found you and scolded you
After a long day, the royal family was finally able to sit down and relax for an hour or two for the last activity of the day.
What was the last activity you ask?
What kind of a birthday would it be without having your portrait painted by the finest artist in the kingdom.
The idea of having to sit perfectly still and look regal for god knows how long wasn’t the most appealing thing in your opinon, but it was better than standing on your feet for any longer, so you took what you could get.
Of course, when the painter walked into the room for the first time, your attitude definitely changed.
“MC, this is Sir Jihyun Kim. We will be sure to make you look magnificant.”
On the outside, Jihyun was calm and collected, being professional in the presence of the princess.
On the inside, this boy was panicking
What if his work wasn’t good enough? What if he made the princess look ugly? Can you be executed over a bad painting?
You noticed a few minutes into the session how his shoulders were extremely tense and how he would barely make any conversation with you.
Sorry Jihyun, but the princess gets what she wants on her birthday
You began to talk him up more, complimenting him on his other paintings that you had seen around the castle, asking him about his life at home and why they had never met before despite him being the best painter in the kingdom.
Eventually he explained to you that Rika, one of the royal advisors, had recommended him to the royal family back when they were engaged, but now that the couple had split under rather unfortunate circumstances, he wasn’t as comfortable as he used to be in the castle and only visited to paint for the King and Queen occasionally before leaving again.
He expected after admitting all of this for the silence in the room to return, but to his surprise, you continued to talk to him, expressing sympathy over the situation and how you would have liked to meet him sooner.
Before you knew it, you both had fallen into a comfortable conversation with eachother and the hours that you had previously been dreading had flown by.
“Sir Jihyun, how’s my portrait coming along?”
“Oh- uh...”
He’d finished it hours ago. He just didn’t want to stop talking to you
When he finally gathered up the courage to show you the final product, he was incredibly relieved to see the smile on your face as you praised it, thanking him for such a beautiful piece of art.
“Sir Jihyun this is wonderful! I can’t thank you enough.”
“It was no trouble, your highness. I enjoyed painting such beauty.”
“What?”
“What?”
Saeran
Okay so maybe attempting to break out of the castle prison early wasn’t the best idea
But in his defense, his backup team was being too slow to rescue him, so he took matters into his own hands
Saeran wasn’t the most noble of people by far, oh no, but he’d never done anything worthy of the death sentance
Just a few robberies here and there, maybe a heist or two.
Did he have some of the crown jewels in his pocket when the guards caught him?
Maybe...
Regardless of what happened, here he was now, running through the halls of the castle after lockpicking his way out of the dungeon, with the guards close behind.
Stupid dork didn’t think this far ahead.
Turning a corner, Saeran spots the handful of guards facing away from him at the end of the hall, and knowing how close the ones behind him were to catching him, he knew he was trapped.
There were no windows to jump out of either, only a door beside him leading to who knows what.
What other choice did he have?
Saeran yanks the door open and sneaks inside quickly, hoping that he was quick enough not to get caught as he closed it behind him. He leans up against the wall in an attempt to hear the guards outside passing the room, non the wiser to where he had gone.
Success!
Well... almost
What Saeran hadn’t accounted for was you, who had watched the whole ordeal go down from the foot of your bed. In your room. Which he had just trapped himself inside.
Slow clap for Saeran everybody
“To what do I owe the pleasure?”
Saeran’s victory smirk was quickly wiped from his face as he turns to face you, a brief expression of panic flashing across his face as he took in where he was.
Oh fuck
“I don’t owe you anything, princess.”
“Are you sure? Because it’s seems you’re losing your little game of hide and seek with the guards.”
“Alright listen here you little-”
You were right though, the guards outside had slowly begun to narrow down the short list of possibilites where Saeren could have hid himself, and it wouldn’t take long for them to burst into the princess’ chambers looking for him.
Of course, you knew that, evident by that smug look on your face.
The boy had no choice
“...What do you want?”
“I want to come with you!”
.........what
“You can easily escape them if you climb down the balcony, but only if you take me with you.”
“...Why would I take you with me?” More importantly why would the princess want to leave with someone like him
“You know your way around the village don’t you? I want you to show me what it’s like down there. What it’s really like. It’s a small price to pay for letting you escape don’t you think?”
Oh this one’s fiesty. I like her
“Alright then princess, you got yourself a deal. Don’t come crying to me though after this. It can be rough down there.”
You’re lying on the sofa under a blanket, lights dimmed, watching your favourite TV show. Your cat is laid across you, sleeping but purring quietly. All is calm. All is good.
