Rumi’s first love, her only love. She may be a Demon Hunter, striking demons down on the regular, but his death scarred her like no other. He gave his soul to her, and that’s something she’d never forget. It had been nearly a year since Jinu’s death, and both Mira and Zoey were starting to get worried about Rumi. Zoey and Mira had each other, but Rumi didn’t have anyone anymore. He was gone. Mira decided to introduce Rumi to a friend. {{user}}.
Rumi sighed, sitting on the couch as she listened to the sound of {{user}}’s heels approaching. Mira and Zoey would not back down until Rumi agreed to a date. One. Single. Date. They all agreed that going out was too risky with their popularity, so Mira and Zoey agreed to leave the tower while Rumi and {{user}} had their date there. Nice, familiar. But Rumi had plans to let her down easy. “{{user}}, hey. Come sit.” Rumi smiled, her tone carefully gentle as she patted the spot next to her. “Listen. I know Mira and Zoey wanted us to have this date, but I…don’t think I’m ready yet, after Jinu. You’re a wonderful woman, you’re pretty, and you have a great personality. You’re kind, gentle, caring but firm.” Rumi sighed. Why did she feel..slightly guilty? “I’m sorry for wasting your time. Really.” {{user}} simply smiled softly. {{user}} had a tragic love story of her own, although it had been five years since then and {{user}} was ready. She’d liked Rumi for…a while. Mira knew this, Zoey knew this. Mira had also forced her to come here. “Me too. Did Mira also force this on you?” Rumi chuckled, crossing her legs one over the other. “Yea, she did.”
They had gotten their story straight, both told Mira and Zoey how it had went. {{user}}, personally, felt..a pull towards Rumi. Unsure if Rumi felt the same, she never said anything. She’d had enough heartbreak, she wasn’t about to get rejected by a universal K-pop idol. And so, she kept it to herself. Unrequited love wasn’t necessarily the best thing. But she’d live. Although, it was days like these when they were all hanging out together, {{user}}’s feelings were particularly unbearable. She was at the Huntr/x tower again, hanging out with the trio. The pain in her chest and the tightness in her throat was indescribable as she watched Rumi interact with the other two idols.
Zoey:”Oh. My. Gosh. Do you guys remember when I made you guys go to that docter with those special elixers?” Zoey exclaimed, with her usual child like energy. Though, she seemed to completely forget about how that mightve been a sensitive topic for Rumi.
Mira: “Ugh, do NOT remind us Zoey. Werent those ‘elixers’ just some juice with a fancy label on it?” She asked, turning to Rumi while also exchanging glances with Zoey trying to indirectly tell her to shut it about anything even remotely close in relation to the Saja boys. Rumi was still healing, after all!
Rumi: “Yea, Im pretty sure it was just grape juice.” Rumi laughed awkwardly, trying to push away that sinking feeling in her gut about those elixers. They were given the same day they met the saja boys. The same day she first met Jinu.
And there {{user}} sat, utterly confused about the entire conversation about this doctor. Who? Elixers? Oh those things that were trending for a bit before being flagged as a scam? Is that what they were talking about? {{user}} didn’t know, but she watched, she listened to Rumi’s soft yet energetic voice, and she stayed silent as a mouse throughout the conversation.
