Hi! I have a requests ;D something like this happened to me a couple days ago which made me think of this. How would the RFA + minor trio react to a nasty rumor going around about MC and she's really upset? And maybe how they help clear up the rumor or comfort her? I hope that's not too much, thank you!! ❤️❤️

Of course, sorry to hear about the rumors though :(

I hope you enjoy it, I had a lot of fun writing it!

RFA + Minor Trio React to MC upset about a nasty rumor about her

Masterlist

Jumin

Nasty rumors are par for the course with Jumin Han

He is rich, young, talented, handsome, and started media training when he was still in diapers. Jumin does not even look at the articles about him anymore unless someone posts a screenshot in the chatroom, nor let anything people say get to him.

But he notices when something is off with your texts

Comes home early when his ‘Is something on your mind, MC?’ text goes unanswered for two hours.

You had no outings planned today, and a quick call to the head of security from Jaehee confirmed you were still at home. Why wouldn’t you answer his text? Had he done something wrong?

Wanders around the house calling your name only to find you upset in the bedroom

Briefly angry with his staff. How long had you been like this? Why hadn’t they let him know?

Sits beside you and holds your hand. He is still new to showing intimacy and emotion, and while you are the person he knows how to comfort best that’s not exactly saying much, but hand holding is easy and safe.

“Don’t cry.” He means it affectionately, but it comes out in his usual monotone and sounding more like a command “I can’t help you if I don’t know what you’re saying.”

Once you calm down enough to explain he listens carefully to all the details you give him before responding

“Would you like me to hire you a PR team?”

The long silence and perplexed look on your face only seems to confuse him more.

“We can’t sue them, but a PR team could help hone your public image. I’m told there would still be some ‘internet trolls’, but good public relations management might help the world see you as the wonderful woman you are. I would, of course, hire the best team available.

You refuse the PR team, but a suspiciously timed fluff piece about you appears on the news the next day

Yoosung

He tried to be a responsible adult and run some errands

Clearly that was a mistake (same Yoosung, same)

Comes home to find you crying on the couch and panics thinking that either he has done something or something horrendously tragic has happened

Did someone die? Worse…did he forget your anniversary?

Sets down his bags in the doorway so he can come sit next to you

Pulls you into a frantic hug “MC are you okay? What happened? What’s wrong? Are you hurt?”

The real struggle is trying to time your explanation between his worrying and your still-hiccupping breath

When you manage to tell him, he immediately exclaims something along the lines of “But that’s not true!” He is a pure boy

Showers you with poorly-worded compliments until you’re laughing and he’s too flustered to continue

Yoosung might not be able to do much about the people who started the rumor, but he knows someone who can

Offers Seven’s assistance, and promises he’ll always stand up for you

Jaehee

Jaehee knows all of your tells

She can tell when you’re upset well before you reach the point of tears

Spends lots of extra time doting on you, giving you the opportunity to share your concerns

It is not until dinner time when her promise to make your favorite meal is received with a fake smile that she becomes truly concerned

Jaehee double checks the chat room to see if maybe you or someone else had said anything there

All she can find is Yoosung babbling about LOLOL

After dinner, Jaehee wraps you up in a blanket, brings you tea and the two of you sit on the couch while she rests her head on your shoulder

The Zen DVD is already loaded, but she leaves it on the main menu screen, playing soft intro music

Jaehee waits patiently until you tell her what’s wrong

Genuinely surprised to hear about the rumors

She spent every day with you, how did she not hear about this? Who would even think about saying something like that? You are the sweetest person she has ever met, not to mention all the two of you do is run a mildly-successful coffee shop. What would anyone have to gain from this?

Puts aside her questions in favor of taking care of you, though

She had a rough time with her aunt, and has dealt with a few women who thought she was more than just Jumin’s assistant, not to mention the criticisms she received from the man himself while on the job

Her specialty is not letting the things people say get to her

“It’s just baseless gossip, MC. The only thing it can really hurt is your feelings, and that’s only if you let them. The people who said those things about you only said them because they have nothing better to do than try to tear you down. Please don’t feel sad over people who are so far beneath you.”

Zen

Your relationship remains low profile for the sake of Zen’s career, but it still exposes you to a lot more media attention

Zen had a lot of rumors and scandals about him, usually from click bait sites trying to get views

Most of them were laughable, and most of the rest were ignorable, but scandals could be a real problem if they ended up big enough or on the right outlets

What if this rumor got him in trouble?

When Zen comes home and finds you upset you suddenly find yourself sitting in his lap with your head on his chest

“Babe, what’s wrong?”

Borderline obnoxiously affectionate if you do not want to talk about it, wraps himself around you and places soft kisses everywhere he can reach until you give in

“Baaaaabe?”

“You know you can talk to me about anything, right Princess?”

While you tell him about the rumors, he is ever the performer, eyes widening at just the right reveals, kisses to your temples when you get particularly distraught, and finished with a dramatic scoff at the end.

“People can be idiots, but this is getting out of hand. How stupid does someone have to be to think that about you!?”

Insists you do an interview with the press and dispel the rumor, contract be damned.

“It’s one thing for there to be rumors about me, but I want the world to see you the way I do: as the most beautiful woman inside and out.”

Saeyoung/707

He is knee deep in building a new toy prototype in his workroom and has been for most of the day

Very excited to show it to you, because you always find his endo-skeletons adorable, even when everyone else is deeply disturbed

Then he hears a familiar high-pitched voice

“I turn on when I sense depression!”

The little jingle and mechanical whirring tells him Meowy’s dance program must have started

Was Saeran having a bad day?

No, wait…Saeran went out today with Yoosung. You had made a huge deal about it and packed them both lunches

“MC…?” He leaves his work room to come to the bedroom, presenting the still-dancing Meowy on the flats of his palms to you for you to silence

“Meowy goes to sleep now!” He puts the robot on the bedside table and flops onto the bed with you

“Should we pray to God7 for salvation?” When his joking doesn’t work, he snuggles up to you, gently nudging you until you move into the position he wants so he can press his forehead to yours and look into your eyes.

“If I could, I would hack your brain. But I can’t, so I need you to talk to me. What’s wrong, MC?”

You explain about the rumors while he strokes your hair soothingly with one hand.

“Oh, is that all? Show me who said it and I’ll make sure their computers never work again.” There is a sadistic grin on his face that makes you doubt the ethics of following his instructions

People say nothing is ever deleted from the internet, but Saeyoung makes sure every trace of any mean thing about you is gone. Then, he hacks the perpetrators social media accounts, posting a carefully curated selection of their most humiliating photos and leaving them locked out of their accounts.

Anything they said about you will be long-forgotten over new, lower hanging fruit

And, of course, he sends the computer-wrecking viruses he promised you earlier. Just for good measure.

V/Jihyun

“Honey, I’m home!” He calls out, because it always makes you smile

But you seem more shocked than pleasantly surprised to see him

He can see the puffiness in your eyes, and the redness at the outer corners from rubbing the tears away

He can hear your breath catch every few rounds, threatening a sob

Something happened.

Closes the distance between the two of you so he can wrap his arms around you

After a moment for you to adjust, he presses a gentle hand to your cheek and guides you to look him in the eyes

He is endlessly loving, voice nearing a coo as he asks “what happened, my love?”

he cradles you to his chest so you can hear his heart beat while he rubs soothing circles into your back

Of all of them, he is the most patient, willing to wait as long as you need before you talk even if that means coming back to it another day

You tell him about the rumors and, more importantly, how much they hurt you

“I’m sorry,” he says. Old habits die hard, and even now it still sounds like an apology rather than an expression of sympathy.

“I hope you know they’re wrong, MC, and everyone who truly matters in your life will know that, too. You are the kindest, brightest woman I have ever met. These rumors will pass.”

If the rumor goes beyond a small-scale, he will ask Jumin to help handle it

Saeran

Saeran comes out of the shower to find you curled up in a ball

He has no idea how to comfort people, so he just mimics what you and Saeyoung do for him

“MC?” He is super nervous and awkward about sitting next to you and trying to give you a hug

Pairs it with uncomfortable hair petting. It ends up being more like a toddler petting a cat than stroking a lover’s hair, but the sentiment is nice

Once the two of you find a comfortable position, he’ll just sit with you quietly until you’re ready to talk

But he won’t let you leave until you tell him your problem

Once you explain about the rumors he. Is. Livid.

He grew up in an abusive household

His mother hurled insults at him every day for most of his life, regardless of whether or not they were true or accurate

Saeran is sure he deserved every bad thing anyone has said about him, but you don’t

He also knows exactly how much it can hurt

You are the kindest person he has ever met, which he grumbles at you angrily to try and make you feel better

Brings you your hot drink of choice, because Saeyoung told him ice cream does not comfort everyone the same way it comforts the two of them

Listens carefully while you tell him what’s wrong

If you do not volunteer the information, he’ll ask casually about details and names

He doesn’t mean to be manipulative with you, but until recently it is the only tactic he has known

Plus, he knows you aren’t nearly as vengeful as he is and plans to destroy them whether you like it or not

Opts to not actually destroy their lives in the end, a testament to how much he loves you

Instead he ends up taking you out for ice cream (“that’s bullshit. Ice cream makes everything better, Saeyoung.”) with money stolen from the perpetrators’ bank account(s)

Vanderwood

He is not the kind of guy who jumps head first into conversations about your feelings

So yeah, he notices when you start feeling down, but he doesn’t bring it up for a while in hopes you will tell him yourself

Instead he bides his time by putting his arm around you while the two of you read together on the couch

He gives in and asks after he watches you read the same sentence three times in a row

“Why are you sighing like that?” You didn’t sigh, but if you point that out he’s going to insist that you did.

You tell him about the rumors, and while you talked he has managed to slowly pull you in closer and closer to him until you’re basically in his lap with him nuzzled in your hair

“That’s a stupid thing to get upset over,” he says gruffly, cutting you off as soon as he gets the details he needs. If he lets you go on for too long you’ll just work yourself up and that won’t help anybody.

“People are going to say whatever they think will get them what they want, regardless of if it’s true or not. Most of my job is telling people lies they want to hear and picking my enemies carefully. The idiots who started those rumors about you, they want to see you upset, think it’ll earn them something. You moping like this is only letting them win. If you want to beat them at their own game, all you have to do is keep living like you were before. Got it?”

If you still seem unhappy later though, he might ask Seven for a favor
