Jaehee x MC

Jaehee x MC is the femslash ship between Jaehee Kang and the Main Character from the Mystic Messenger fandom.

Casual Story
At the start of the story, during the first four days, Jaehee is one of the least trusting members of the RFA towards MC, due to the mysterious way in which MC appeared in the RFA messenger, despite the messenger meaning to be private. However, even if so, she is open to the idea of hosting charity parties that RFA used to hold with the help of MC, partly due to the trust that Jumin Han, Jaehee's boss, puts in MC, and thanks to the confirmation of V, the current leader of RFA, and Seven, RFA's head of security, that MC poses no threat. AS Jaehee warms up to the idea of MC staying in the organization, she tries to be helpful to her. Jaehee offers MC support for example through explaining her role in the party organization to her, or giving her information about what the other RFA members are like.

Jaehee's Route
If, throughout the first 4 days of the game, you especially care about Jaehee, you get on her route. A big problem in Jaehee's route is her boss, Jumin, overworking her as he blows the company's money on senseless projects that are just for his enjoyment and don't generate any profit. As he's putting more and more work on her due to another passion project of his, another member of RFA, Zen, breaks his leg. That troubles Jaehee, because Zen is a musical theater actor whose work Jaehee adores. You, the player, can have MC encourage Jaehee to go check on Zen, which then Jaehee does. During that, Zen finds out Jaehee is a fan of his (to the surprise of rest of the RFA, he didn't know before), and they start spending more time together as a friendship develops between them. But even as Jaehee becomes closer to her idol, the still states that MC is the most important one to her becuase of the kindness and support she showed her before anyone else did.

A few days later, Jumin assigns a project regarding coffee to Jaehee, which ends up interesting her greatly, but soon, Jumin wants her to flunk that project and focus on his yet another cat-centered passion project. However, Jaehee doesn't want to flunk anything, and definitely not a project that personally interests her, and yet, Jumin refuses to transfer the cat project to anyone else. MC can support Jaehee to take things easy, and later on, to have Seven do the cat presentation instead of her, as he offers to do so after Zen promises him premium gas for his cars. If encouraged by MC, Jaehee can end up doing so, resulting in Jumin firing her.

Her getting fired doesn't bother her that much by that point, because she's set her mind on trying to open a coffee shop with the money she had saved up while working for Jumin. MC can support her in that goal, and if she does, after she meets Jaehee at the end of the game at the RFA charity party, Jaehee will ask MC to be her partner for opening the coffee shop, wanting to do so together with MC.

Zen's Route
Jaehee is more hostile to MC throughout most of Zen's route. Jaehee is a huge fan of Zen's work as a theater actor, with his performances on DVD being what she watches to destress. Jaehee thinks that it is only trouble for a celebrity to have a relationship, because it could disappoint his fans, who could stop liking him after, ruining his career. Thanks to that belief, Jaehee often tells MC that it would be better if she doesn't get too close to Zen and begin a relationship with him, as to not ruin his career. Later in the route, though, after getting called out on this behaviour by MC and Seven, she honestly apologizes for having treated MC in such way, and hopes to instead become closer with MC in the future through their shared interest in Zen's career and well-being.

Jumin's Route
After watching MC get closer to Jumin, Jaehee seemingly starts hoping that MC will help Jumin through the troublesome times that await him in his route. Such is shown if towards the start of Jumin's route, where his father is trying to arrange a marriage for him, you, the player, aren't active in the game. Jumin, already under pressure thanks to the arrange marriage issue, becomes even more unstable as Zen has a dream about Elizabeth III, Jumin's cat that he cares about in an amount some RFA members even find odd, running away. Jumin starts focusing on securing the penthouse so Elizabeth III doesn't leave and stops caring about work due to his father, the owner of the company he works in, is forcing a marriage on him. In this bad ending, she party gets canceled, and as Jaehee shares these news with Zen, she expresses that she hoped MC would help Jumin through this, showing some trust towards MCs good nature and care for Jumin.

If you don't reach this bad ending and instead continue in the game, Elizabeth III indeed runs away. It happens while MC is visiting Jumin, and Jumin, starting to show possesive tendencies towards MC, doesn't want to let her leave his penthouse. If MC starts being too pushy and agressive about wanting to leave the penthouse, picking choices leading to another bad ending, Jaehee can reassure her in that while Jumin might be acting odd, he wouldn't harm MC.

If you reach the good ending of this route, Jaehee will become thankful to MC in a way, mainly thankful for her relationship with Jumin, because due to the amount of work she had to put in while Jumin was staying at his house with MC, Jumin lets her pick a date for a holiday, which Jaehee doesn't get to have often while working under him.

Christmas Special 2016
During the Christmas Special, RFA is preparing for a Christmas party, and Jaehee has a lot of work regarding it on her hands, while also having to keep up with work she has as Jumin's assistant. Jaehee plans to work through Christmas, which she knows could seem sad to some people, but she says she doesn't mind, as she doesn't have anyone to spend Christmas with anyway. If you are nice to her, encourage and support her more than you do the other members, you end up on her route, on which MC ends up going to RFA party to help Jaehee out, they spend some time together, but to MC's disappointment, Jaehee soon has to return to the office to continue her work at the company. Jumin asks MC whether she could drive back to the company with his driver to check on Jaehee, though he says he just wants MC to give her some papers he forgot to give her. When MC arrives to Jaehee's office, she finds Jaehee asleep. She doesn't wake her up, and gives her a kiss on the cheek, optionally saying that one day, she'll tell Jaehee how she truly feels. Then, MC makes some hot chocolate for Jaehee that she leaves on the table, and then goes back home.

When Jaehee wakes up, she logs into an RFA chatroom to first share her confusion about the hot chocolate on her desk, saying no one at the office is so close to her that they'd make some for her. Then, she wonders whether someone from the RFA didn't show up, lands on MC possibly doing so, but then dismisses it - seemingly as wishful thinking. Then, she mentions she saw MC in a dream, where MC hugged her, and admits that it means she probably wanted to see MC subconsciously. Lastly, Jaehee thanks MC for her support throughout the last few days, expresses a wish for MC and her to spend the next Christmas together, and says that maybe, she has developed feelings for MC without knowing. Wishing sweet dreams to MC, JAehee logs off, ending the route.

Fanon
A lot of Mystic Messenger fans were disappointed that Jaehee's route, unlike all the other routes in the game, is platonic, with only hints of romantic attraction (game thus not offering a romance with a female character). Jaehee's fans sometimes refer to her as "Baehee", and the phrase "Gayhee for Jaehee" became a meme for a bit amongst her fans who wanted a proper romance route for her.

Jaehee x MC cannot rival most of the other MC ships shipping her with the guys of the game with their own routes. The only such MC ship that Jaehee x MC seems to be on equal footing with, at least in the amount of fanfiction, is V x MC. The two ships are close in the amount of fanfiction on AO3. Jaehee x MC is the seventh most written ship for MC and the most written ship for Jaehee. It is the tenth most popular ship in the Mystic Messenger fandom on AO3, and by far the most popular femslash ship there.

While Jaehee x MC isn't as popular as the ships of MC with male characters, it is common to ship it in combination with popular slash ships the game has, such as Zumin or Yooseven.
