RFA members with a depressed reader + how they would respond/try and support you
Zen:
He’s actually really shocked
Like, you’re so gorgeous and honestly the most amazing person he’s ever met and he can’t believe you’d ever feel that way about yourself
He tries to reassure you CONSTANTLY
Which kinda makes you feel a bit bad, like you’re a burden
When he hears that he just tries to love you even more
He doesn’t really know how to help you aside from reassuring and comforting and loving you
So he tries to do research
Invites you to go on walks with him for exercise
Offers to pay for your therapy
Tries to cook healthy meals for the both of you
Wants you to get enough sleep
All of the good habits that are supposed to help with depression
They do, but you still end up feeling numb inside
Especially at night
He’s so kind and patient and understanding
He’ll sit with you and hold you if you just wanna cry
He’ll listen to your feelings and empathise but when you start talking about how you hate yourself he’ll cut in
“Please, don’t say that about yourself, Princess.”
Wants to protect you and make you happy
Jumin:
Doesn’t really know what to do
He isn’t that connected to his emotions and he especially isn’t that well versed and knowing how to deal with other people’s emotions
But he really cares about you, so he makes some calls
Provides you with the best therapists and psychiatrists (if you want to take medication for it)
Makes sure that all his employee’s and guards and chefs and maids take really good care of you
Kind of like Zen - he does his research
When you tell him that you just feel really down today he’ll start offering all these solutions that are supposed to help - exercise, yoga, meditation, etc.
But if you say you just wanna stay in and watch movies and cuddle he’s totally there for that too
If you’re having a really bad day, where you aren’t really talking and you won’t get out of bed, he’ll bring Elizabeth the Third to you because he knows how much you like petting her fur
And once he’s finished his work, he’ll come to you and hold you and whisper words of support and care and reassurance to you
Will literally leave meetings if he finds out you’re really upset
Jaehee doesn’t like that, but she won’t lie - she worries about you too
On days where Jumin is on a business trip and you’re at home, you best believe you’ll be getting deliveries constantly with flowers or packages and Jaehee visiting you
At first you’re surprised when Jaehee visits
But she tells you that he’s worried and maybe you’ll confide in her
But you guys just stay in and watch (Zen’s) movies and you guys become really close friends
Bottom line, will stop everything to come and support you
Jaehee:
Knows what it’s like to have deteriorating mental health
So can easily relate
So you guys talk a lot about your feelings to each other, usually ending up with you both crying
But it’s not really a bad thing
It’s nice to talk to someone who actually understands without being worried
Both of you doing things to improve your mental health - a self care journey
Supporting each other on your bad days
24/7 support
Strongest couple ever omg
You guys can tell when the other isn’t having the best day, so you’ll discreetly help them out
Yoosung:
This poor boi cries when you tell him
Because he’s been there, right in the depths of it
He came back but…
He would never want anyone to experience that level of pain and suffering
And when he found out you had it he just felt so sad - he wanted to take all of your pain for himself because you deserved only the best and all of the happiness
Especially since you’re the reason he managed to leave that place behind
Will try and spend as much time making you smile as possible
Cook for you, making little smiley faces and stuff
He’s really sweet
Like, the sweetest heart
Tells you that he’s there for you, if you need to talk or anything like that
Wants you to promise that you’ll call him, text him or talk to him if you ever feel like you’ll hurt yourself or…
Saeyoung/Luciel/707:
Kinda figured it out when he did his background check on you
Was kinda surprised based on the way you acted in the chat room
When you weren’t allowed to leave the apartment, he made sure you got your medication (if you take any)
Feels so guilty about pushing you away
When you guys are together he tries to make up for it all with love
Showers you with love and attention
Partly because he knows how tough it can be to see anything good about yourself
But it’s mainly because you’re his angel
Which makes him even sadder because you can’t see how incredible you are to him
Every little thing you do makes him fall in love with you all over again
Will leave his work for you if you ask him to or if he feels like you need him
Offers to find another job
Tried to make changes in his daily life to support you
If you decide that you wanna start working out or eating differently or going to therapy or literally anything, he’s doing the same thing too
Sometimes dragging in Saeran too, just to show you how much support you have
It may have been a passing comment, but it was one that had stuck to you ever since you attended your first RFA party.
“I must ask Sherlocking to retrieve my lost vacation days,” Jaehee says with a little laugh after welcoming the detective and checking the his name on the guest list. It was said lightly, but you felt the truth in her words, especially after the soft sigh that escapes her before you both move on to the next guest.

It was said lightly, but you felt the truth in her words, especially after the soft sigh that escapes her before you both move on to the next guest.
So naturally, you burst through the doors of C&R one day, fully clad in a detective outfit- complete with a briefcase and a magnifying glass. The borrowed coat you had on was way too big on you, but it only made you look all the more endearing.
“I found them, I found them!!” You exclaim as you enter Jaehee’s office, and she makes a very confused face at you, before looking back and forth between you and Jumin’s door, motioning for you to lower your voice.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Han is currently on a conference call with our associates from Japan,” she says apologetically, using a finger to lift her glasses back to the bridge of her nose. The assistant motions you to come closer. “What was- what was it that you found?”
Her eyebrows furrow as she blinks twice, taking in your appearance. What were all these stuff you were bringing? What in the world was your reason for this attire?
You erupt in laughter for a moment before you remember yourself, eyes widening while your hand comes up to stifle the laughs. As much as Jaehee adored the sight, the sound- she couldn’t tell you not to be quiet.
“Ifoundthem,” you say in a hush now, as if you’ve unearthed the biggest secret in the world, as if you held the very key to life in your hands. The briefcase is lifted onto Jaehee’s desk by your hands, an air of importance surrounding you. She tries sitting up straighter, higher to get a peek at what’s inside as you open it, but it’s obscured from her view.
You pull out a folder that held travel documents inside, an all expenses paid week-long trip to paradise as handpicked by you and Zen, and financed by none other than mister director, Jumin Han.
The briefcase is shut as you lay the folder on her table and slide it across in an official manner, like in a movie you’ve watched with her just to see Zen’s cameo in it.
“What is all this… ?” she asks quietly, a puzzled expression on her face.
As she opens the folder, you lean in and grin widely.
“Your lost vacation days!”
You can’t help but giggle again, excited for the overworked assistant. With eyes scanning through the details written down, she slowly begins to smile, but then her mouth falls back into a hard line.
“This cannot be possible. Is this one of Seven’s pranks, are you in on it this time?” She asks in disbelief, once again surveying your outfit.
“No no no, I swear-” you try to explain before Jumin himself walks out of his office, steady beats of his Oxfords slowing to a stop as he reaches the two of you.
“Assistant Kang, this is perfectly serious. We discussed this beforehand, everything has been worked out. Is that any way to show your gratitude?”
“Mr. Han- I didn’t- and,” Jaehee begins to fumble, caught off guard.
“It’s alright,” you swoop in and save her, laughing it off and waving your hand in reassurance. “I see why it would seem too good to be true. But it istrue, I asked this guy right here,” you smile as you jut your thumb outwards towards the man in question.
Jumin only nods.
“I- How did you manage this? I’ve been trying to ask for so long…” she responds, still in shock, going through the files in the folder.
“Easy. I have seven cat-sitting days Jumin can redeem whenever he needs them,” you smile proudly, shoulders straightening out as you tug on the collar of your trenchcoat.
The director shares one of his rare smiles too, and gently lays a hand on your shoulder, nodding in approval. He turns to Jaehee and gives her a curt nod as well, before walking towards the elevator without another word.
The assistant finds the tickets and holds them up, staring at her own name printed on them. Like it’s a mirage that’ll disappear. Like it’s a hallucination she’ll snap out of soon.
But she feels the paper in her hands and- oh, why is it so thick?
Her thumb slides forward as her index slides backwards in an attempt, and to her surprise, the second ticket comes into view. Curiously, she places her ticket behind and gasps at what she reads on the second one.
Your name.
“You’re coming with me?” she asks, eyes still glued to the ticket.
“Of course I am!” you say, blushing sheepishly. “What good is a vacation if you spend it alone, am I right?”
Jaehee actually grins this time, finally setting down the documents and looking into your eyes once more. She looks so happy, you think you could almost melt right here, in your entire ensemble and everything. Magnifying glass included.
Nervously, you ramble on.
“I don’t know if you saw it yet but we’ll have time to go to some spots where Zen filmed for his latest movie!! He gave us all of the directions, he even helped me fix our whole trip! And there’s lots of cute coffee shops near where we’re staying, they do all the latte art and-”
You don’t notice that Jaehee’s made her way around her desk already to wrap her arms around you tightly, the way they are now. But you do notice the smile on her face and the way she has her eyes closed, the way she holds you tightly and oh my god, she smells so good-
You’re blushing, but she is too. Sighing happily, you tenderly hold the side of her head close to you as you relish in the warmth of your embrace.
“Thank you,” she murmurs most gratefully against your hair, and you’re so dizzy that you can’t tell if its the ghost of her lips that you feel brushing against your temple or the breeze on this office floor.
It may have been a passing comment, but it was one that had stuck to you ever since you attended your first RFA party.
