Hey guys! I'm super excited to finally be posting this story...
I've had it in mind for a while now and I've finally gotten around to getting it out. It is my first attempt at typing a Mystic Messenger Fanfic so I hope I've gotten everything down. I kinda fell in love with the game thanks to some friends, and I've currently played through Yoosung, Seven, and Jumin's routes. I really fell in love with Yoosung while playing through his story and really wanted to do more with his Good Ending...so this was the result...
It will be a mixture of the actual Good Ending from the Game and have some extra things added in from my point of view. I actually have over half of this story already pretyped so it's just a matter of updating and getting the last bits typed. If it does well enough I also have sort of a "Sequel" planned that will be shorter stories involving Ari and Yoosung.
Ari is my version of the MC...I've really had fun planning her out and I hope you guys enjoy her too! 83

Chapter 1: Almost There
Bright early morning sunlight shown down on a busy street, the hustle and bustle of an average day in full swing as people made their way to and fro. Much like a river flowing through a canyon as they moved between the tall skyscrapers that surrounded them.
The early morning bustle, however, was the last thing on a lone figure who could be seen from the window of her high rise studio apartment as she paced back and forth.
Ari Foxx let out a puff of breath as she paused in her pacing to glance around her apartment, she sighed as her pale blue eyes roamed over the for one neat and tidy living room.
This was probably the cleanest it had been since she moved in, no art supplies strewn about. No open text books, or homework laying around. Her laptop was still setting in it's spot charging on a chair in the corner.
She could thank eleven days of staying in a strange apartment for that, eleven days of craziness, eleven days that had completely changed her life. She felt a small smile tug at her lips for that, yes that was what was to blame for her apartment for once not being in chaos.
Yes the last eleven days had certainly been insane that was for sure. How was she supposed to know that her friends downloading one little dating app on her phone would forever change her life?
She had felt so alone for the past year, being alone in a foreign country attempting to fit in and adjust to life here. Sure she'd made friends here and there. But nothing lasting, truthfully she had been considering going back to America after next year when she finally graduated.
And yet here she was after only eleven days, with the feeling that she finally belonged. RFA had taken her in, welcomed her, and had made her feel more at home then she ever had before. She'd found friends, a family, and love with them.
And she was so thankful to them for that.
She chuckled to herself then, yes downloading one tiny app certainly had changed her life.
She glanced over at the digital clock that sat upon the desk across the room. It was almost 8:30, and the party started at noon more then enough time for her to get ready...she hoped.
She felt a tug of nerves deep within her stomach at that thought, the party was finally happening. All of her and the organization's hard work would finally come to fruition. But more then that she would finally be able to meet Yoosung in person.
That thought alone caused her heart to squeeze tightly in her chest. It had only been eleven days since they had first met it was true. Yet she couldn't help the feelings that seemed to swell within her chest every time she thought about him.
She really wasn't for sure when she'd fallen for the cheerful blonde, between his warm and caring words, the pictures of his infectious smile, or the way his violet eyes seemed to light up, she could spend forever thinking of every little detail honestly.
There was no one thing she could pin point that had caused her feelings to change, as he had put himself he had suddenly become a part of her day. She looked forward to his messages, to hearing his voice.
It was almost like she couldn't start her day with out wanting to hear something from him, she loved how her heart would flutter whenever he'd laugh on the phone. Or how she wanted to know how his day had been, how when he was down she wanted to cheer him up and always be there for him.
She allowed a slow smile to spread across her lips as she thought these thoughts. Yes she certainly had fallen for him hard. Funny how it had happened before she even knew it, but she guessed that was part of the magic of falling in love.
Her happy thoughts, however, slowly started to drift as she allowed the smile to slip from her face and made her way towards the closet to retrieve her clothing.
Thinking of hearing Yoosung's voice had reminded her of the phone call they had had earlier in the morning.
One that honestly had her worried if she really wanted to admit it, she had been trying to push the cryptic call to the back of her mind. But now it was right there repeating itself over and over in her mind as she pawed through the clothing that hung in her closet.
"Don't be afraid...even if I seem a bit scary, alright? I'm still the man who loves you." Yoosung's voice repeated in her mind as she furrowed her brows.
'Why would he seem scary?' She thought to herself as she chewed on her lip as she removed an article of clothing to examine. She quickly shook her head a bit as she put the hanger back and moved on to the next piece of clothing.
"Yoosung, could never be scary..." She mussed quietly thinking how silly the thought even was. But something in the back of her mind kept nagging at her.
His phone call the night before when he and Seven had returned had also put her on edge. The way his voice sounded she could tell something wasn't right.
Even though he'd reassured her everything was fine, and that both he and Seven were safe.
Something still seemed to tickle at the back of her mind that something bad had happened.
She shook her head to clear away such thoughts, no everyone was safe now. Nothing bad had happened the party was going on as planned. That was what she needed to remember.
And more importantly she would finally get to see Yoosung in person, yes that's all she needed to focus on at the moment was those happy thoughts. To stay within the dream like feeling of overwhelming happiness that everything had worked out and was going to be fine.
Yes, that was better. She thought to herself as the knot that had tied itself in her stomach loosened slightly as she once again forced the thoughts to the back of her mind.
She nodded her head a little in approval as she found the articles of clothing she was looking for and pulled them from the closet before turning and heading to the bathroom for a quick shower.
Ari hummed a little to herself as she excited the bathroom after her shower.
She had to admit the warm water had done wonders on her nerves and tired body, she hadn't slept well the night before from excitement. And it had started to seep into her bones, she at least now felt a little refreshed and somewhat ready.
She glanced at her reflection in the full length mirror that was in her bedroom, she sighed a little as she studied herself. She had never considered herself pretty, despite having been told differently many times over her life.
She was petite standing barely 5'2" without heals, her figure was nothing to brag on average in size. Her mousy, gray brown hair fell just a bit past her shoulders long enough for her to play with but not long enough to be a bother.
Her sky blue eyes currently framed by the lavender glasses she only wore when she was feeling to lazy to put in her contacts.
She bit her bottom lip as she turned from side to side examining the outfit she'd chosen.
Her look consisted of a pair of dark wash denim trousers that while casual still looked dressy. Over which she wore a white capped sleeved blouse with black buttons down the front, she'd also managed to find the fitting black vest she'd bought a while back for a formal occasion at the University she was attending. She finished the look with a pair of light pink heels matching the clip in her hair.
She chewed on her lip nervously as she reached up to adjust her bangs as she turned her head from side to side studying her shoulder length hair. She'd straightened it and had pulled back the sides back with a sparkly pink clip. She sighed a little bit as she once again tried to adjust her messy bangs.
'I look like a waitress...' She thought quietly as she assessed herself while she adjusted her lavender glasses with a depressed sigh as she closed her eyes.
She took a deep breath before opening her eyes to look back at her reflection.
"Hello, my name is Ari. It's a pleasure to meet you...may I take your order?" She said in an overly excited manner as she forced a smile to come across her face.
The smile quickly faded as she let out a groan as she made her way over to the bed and flopped down on it.
She lay like that for a few seconds as she stared up at the ceiling of her apartment.
'What am I doing? I look fine...' She mentally scolded herself as she blinked her blue eyes slowly. She knew she was being silly, but she just wanted this all to be perfect.
She'd spent the last eleven days imagining what it would be like to finally meet everyone, to finally get to see Yoosung in person.
But now she could feel her confidence fading, what if she wasn't what they were expecting? What if she wasn't what Yoosung was expecting, what if she wasn't what he wanted?
'No...that's not right.' She thought as she gave a firm shake of her head as she sat back up on the bed and adjusted her glasses.
Her confidence returning and honestly a bit of anger at her own doubt. They'd fallen in love never seeing each other, they'd over come to much to have such silly thoughts now.
"Pull yourself together, Ari..." She mumbled as she glanced at the clock on her bed stand. Her blue eyes widening slightly at seeing the time she had less then twenty minutes until the taxi she'd arranged would arrive.
With out another thought she quickly scrambled off the bed, paused once more to check her reflection before dashing into the bathroom to change into her contacts and then to check her purse.
Ari fidgeted nervously with the handle of her purse as she watched the buildings pass by.
She was thankful now that she'd arranged an early taxi, the traffic wasn't nearly as bad as she'd worried about considering it was approaching the lunch rush hour.
She could feel the nerves in her stomach doing flips with the motion of the moving vehicle as they drove. She glanced down again at her phone screen, checking for the hundredth time that she had told the driver the right address.
She jumped slightly when she suddenly felt the taxi making a turn, she felt her stomach do another flip as she looked at the very opulent building they were pulling up to. The hotel seemed to be something out of a movie, something you could only imagine in your dreams.
Realizing she was gaping like a cod fish she quickly snapped her jaw shut, she could feel her nerves returning as the taxi took her right up to the front door. She quickly paid the driver as a valet came to open her car door.
She gave him a small smile and bow as she excited the cab, she glanced around taking note of all the people that were entering the building. She wondered how many were actually guests arriving for the party and felt her heart thud in her chest at that thought.
She felt her self subconsciously glance down at her outfit at seeing so many well dressed people around her and she let out another sigh.
'I knew I should have found a dress...' She thought dejectedly as she made her way into the building.
Once again she found herself staring at the grandeur of the hotel once she was inside the lobby. She'd known from what the others had said that R.F.A wasted no expense on their parties. But this was overwhelming in a sense.
She continued to marvel at the sights around her as she followed the signs that were posted about giving directions on where to go for the party. Finally breaking out of her trance she found herself stepping on to an elevator with several other well dressed guests.
She could feel her heart starting to race as the elevator began to move, she glanced around herself as she could hear the other people talking around her. A soft blush creeping on to her cheeks as she realized they were all talking about the party.
Most were commenting on the excitement about being invited to such a grand affair, she also heard several talking about the interesting young woman they had spoken to when getting invited.
A soft smile came to her lips at hearing that, she could feel a deep seed of pride growing within her heart at knowing her job had been a success.
The sudden stopping of the elevator caused her heart to jump into her throat, she swallowed hard as the doors opened. She could feel her legs trembling as she slowly stepped out of the elevator and into another lobby.
'This is it...' She thought to herself.
This one was just as grand as the main lobby, white walls with gold inlay seemed to gleam in the light from the chandeliers that hung from the ceiling. Several large heavy wooden doorways were scattered around the hallways. And for a moment Ari paused glancing around not sure where she was supposed to go.
The other guests seemed to be mingling around the lobby, some chatting and others walking about. She was just starting to debate on if she should ask if there was a guest check in when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing near one of the sets of doors.
And that's it for Chapter 1!
