JuV

"You never fail me, Jumin. The treasure box of my memories."

- Jihyun to Jumin in V's route.

JuV is the slash ship between Jumin Han and Jihyun "V" Kim from the Mystic Messenger fandom.

Canon
Jumin and Jihyun are close, childhood friends and members of the RFA. In every route, V is the only person, which Jumin trusts the most (except for the Jumin's route, where MC starts to be the 2nd person, which Jumin trusts so much), he's very loyal to him. Jihyun, on the other hand, knows all the facts about Jumin that no one in the RFA knows - such as, for example, his drinking habit - and many times states how much he appreciates Jumin Han being his friend.

While we can see how close they are in every route, we have the deepest look on their relationship in the V's route, where the two share the most conversations, because of Jihyun logging into the chatroom more often. In V's route we find out a lot of the facts about their childhood. For example, we learn that Jumin and V's families were in good terms and that they were neighbours. One time, Jumin was driving his toy car and suddenly he crushed into Kim house's wall. Seeing that, he got off the toy, took off his phone and called the insurance number. V found him so interesting that he eventually asked Jumin to be his friend. That's how their friendship began.

In every route, Jumin still tries to deeply trust V, despite all his secrets and cares for him, worries about him. His strong devotion led many MysMe fans to thinking that Jumin might see Jihyun as someone more than a friend. However, it was never truly explained, yet the newer the route, the more Jumin's affection towards V we get to see and the more we find out about their relationship.

Fanon
JuV is the 2nd most popular Jumin ship in the fandom (3rd, when including MC). Jumin and V have one of the deepest relationships in the game, however the pairing is often being overshadowed by JuZen, since quite a lot of Jumin and Zen's conversations have homoromantic/homoerotic subtext.

On AO3 JuV has so far 184 works.
