    Summary

    "She noticed Bobby shuffling nervously next to her. The street lights trickled in through their limo’s tinted windows. Sunlight Industries was hosting a fundraising gala, and Rumi needed to attend to please the board members breathing down her neck.
    Normally that would have been fine, nothing she wasn’t used to at least.
    But Rumi was not feeling good today. It had started early this morning, before the sun had even peaked over the horizon. She woke to the awful sensation of cramps tearing through her abdomen, not unusual with her cycles, but still way more intense than she’d previously experienced."

    When an unexpected tragedy strikes, Rumi is left to grapple with the fallout. Meanwhile, Mira and Zoey must come to terms with their own doubts and regrets as the trio struggle to figure out how to keep moving forward as fate plays its hand.

    Summary

    Mira stopped her, "Sit, I'll clean up." Zoey handed her plate over without question and stretched out on the couch with her phone. Mira went to take the dishes Rumi had gathered, but she didn't let go.

    "What? No, you pulled this miracle of a breakfast together after I almost set it on fire, let me clean." She went to rise and take the dishes back from Mira, but the taller girl stood firm.

    "I appreciate the thought, but the last time you did the dishes, we were down two plates and you somehow bent a pair of stainless steel chopsticks." A sly smile pulled at Mira's lips as she recalled 'chopstick-gate 2024'. "I got it."

    She pulled on the plate again, but Rumi still wouldn't let go.

    "Cmon Mira, you cooked, let me clean. Or at least let me -"

    "Rumi." Mira's voiced dropped low, and her tone pulled Rumi's gaze up to meet her own. "Drop it."

    Rumi blinked up at her and her traitorous hand loosened without her permission. Her patterns flared a dark but vivid pink for an instant, and she said a meek "Thank you."

    Mira simply hummed in acknowledgement and turned towards the kitchen before Rumi could catch the smirk creeping across her face. Zoey smiled, she knew that tone all too well.

    Summary

    It rained the day after the Idol Awards. Storm clouds bellowing over the city lights, leaving wet streaks across Seoul like smears of paint on canvas.

    Their first day of hiatus. A 3 month break.

    Zoey had suggested they go stock up on snacks and pile onto their couch, settling into the lull of movie marathons, take out, and spending time together on their hobbies. They tracked droplets into the entryway of their penthouse, shaking off coats and dropping wet plastic bags on the rug.

    Mira only wanted to help, to offer a gentle gesture of affection. Something to ease the tension between them.

    She gently grabbed the shoulders of Rumi's coat, attempting to shed it and hang it up for her.

    Mira felt her heart shatter when Rumi recoiled away gasping, clinging to her coat. Her chest heaved and pushed out shallow breathes. Mira drew back her own hands as if she had burned Rumi by touching her. Zoey came slowly to Rumi's side.

    or

    Post film events as Mira struggles to not feel hurt by the events of the Idol Awards, while Rumi's compulsive lying leads to her pretending everything is fine until Mira can get her to actually talk to her.

    Summary

    “Do you think we'll ever get through to her?”

    “Everyone meets their breaking point eventually.” At Zoey's worried frown, Mira’s expression softened. She leaned down to kiss her forehead. “Don't worry, we'll be there to catch her when she falls.”

    -

    Mira's attempt at a spiel about love and friendship and unbreakable bonds turned to ash on her tongue.

    “Rumi. Rumi, no.”

    Rumi inched closer to the rail.

    “Rumi, please don’t.”

    Zoey’s foot moved.

     

    Rumi leapt.

    Summary

    Rumi relied on having a purpose, having structure, having guidance. It was Celine who kept that structure together with bolts and screws — but now she was down to duct tape and zip ties.

    What is her purpose after the Honmoon is sealed? What is she meant to do with so much freedom?

    OR:

    Rumi starts spiraling.

    Zoey and Mira notice.
