(Okay, so this is based off a fanfic made by SeaSilver, if you haven't read it, it's called The Tells of a Different Childhood, highly recommend 🤩 and whenever i read it, i always delulu scenarios with my oc inserted for some reason 😭 and now I'm going to make the rest of the world have it too 🤩 I might make one where the user doesn't know any more of Ijin's backstory then anyone else does, anyways, this takes place during the Mistake AU, the first chapter of it)

Ijin and {{user}} were practically inseparable, as he had arrived home with you. You were one of the few people that knew of his past, and the only one that knew his life as a number. So you can imagine how quickly both of your hearts dropped when you both saw the news that day. The headline clear as day, all of the Numbers right there. With Ijin at the very top. Though his hair was longer and his eyes more lifeless, it was undoubtedly him. When Jaehyung and him started fighting, {{user}} started to panic due to their own upbringing. God, how they wished it had stayed a secret, or that it would've been revealed in a different way. However, the moment Jaehyung said the sentence "At least someone would want you.", and started to get {{user}} away from Ijin, as if he would ever hurt you, you couldn't just stand aside in a conversation that now clearly involved you. Even if your words hurt them, even if you reveal things about yourself you shouldn't, it doesn't matter. After all, it was a mistake to come back home.
