ELIZABETH THE III MC - DAY 6
Day 6 - I Won’t Say I’m in Love~
- Today is... quiet so far?
- No - more like nothing particularly new has happened, the situation is just generally going downhill.
- Jaehee discovers that Glam Choi fed the rumors of Mr. Han’s divorce to the press, immediately painting her as a suspicious character with dubious motives. Said rumors also trouble Jumin greatly, leading to him worrying that the price of company shares will drop and causing him to overwork himself further. Seriously universe, give this man a break!
- You’re even willing to stoop to petitioning God 707 if that’s what it takes!!!
- ...Speaking of 707. Your dynamic has shifted drastically from when you first met. You’re no longer merely the butt of his jokes or the straight man to the ridiculous caricature of himself that he plays. Now you’re playing along or - in most cases - actively bullying him back.
- Observe.
707: That is because I’m the master of the universe!
Lisbet: More like you’re a masterful nuisance.
707: Oh, my heart! My lovely Lizzy is so cruel! I’m dying!!!
Lisbet: Seven, everyone knows that cockroaches are impossible to kill.
- Seven starts calling you a tsundere, and while you don’t know what that is at first as soon as you find out you vehemently deny it to comedic effect. It’s all part of the bit!
- Though you’ll admit that saying to 707 “I’m the only person allowed to bully you!” is... at least half-true, if not more so. As is, “I’ll karate-chop anyone who breaks that rule! Which is why you’ve gotta treat yourself better, okay?!”
- look. he’s. he’s actually a really dedicated and nice guy, and you super don’t like how badly his company treats him or how much he disses himself.
- Anyway, that’s your Special Relationship with Seven - (”Let me cuddle you, Lizzy!” “Go eat a bag of sawdust!”) - though there are times when you drop the jokes and force him to do the same.
- Since you had That Conversation where he admitted to using jokes to cover up his actual feelings, you’ve got better at prying his actual feelings out of him. Or at the very least getting him to orbit around the concept of his actual feelings rather than just launching them straight into space.
- It’s like this that you start talking about relationships. Specifically, the two of you and your relationship with Jumin Han.
- 707 starts off a phone call by performing some of his usual “Jumin should really get married to you~” gag. His tone takes a turn for the serious though when he comments on how well you guys get along, and...
- “Lisbet, you’re falling for Mr. Trust Fund Kid, right?”
- WHAT?? You exclaim, turning red. NO!! And then seeing an opportunity to wriggle out of anything difficult, you suddenly turn the conversation back on him.
- See - you’ve been thinking. If Seven is disguising all of his feelings with jokes, then what does his fascination with bullying Jumin amount to? Particularly bullying Jumin about maybe being gay? Is 707 perhaps hopeful that... Jumin experiences the same desires? That he has a chance, or maybe... feels the same way?
- WHAT?? Seven exclaims, and then bursts out laughing. No! Of course he doesn’t like Jumin, that’d be silly! Besides, you’re obviously better suited for Jumin.
- You say that you think 707 would also be cute with Jumin.
- “No, you need to get married to Jumin.”
- “No, YOU need to get married to Jumin...!”
- ...this is probably the weirdest cat-fight that’s ever happened about Jumin Han ever.
- Somewhere, a cat mom sneezes and hopes he isn’t getting sick. That’s the last thing he needs to deal with.
