    Summary

    Kang Rumi is the person behind the mask, she knows that.

    Ryu Rumi is the show-persona. The 'KING' that rules over HUNTR/X like it's her Kingdom, the central piece of HUNTR/X, the one who's in the middle of all the photoshoots, the one who directs the interviews. Ryu Rumi is perfect. Ryu Rumi never misses a step, has a voice that can belt in one second and go into a soft croon in the next, is the perfectly styled classical Korean beauty who *never* does anything wrong.

    Ryu Rumi is a machine designed to keep the fabric of reality solid beneath their feet so the whole world doesn't decay and fall to evil. Kang Rumi is the operator working at maximum efficiency to ensure the machine never falters.

    Or: all the times Kang Rumi tried to keep the show going.

    Summary

    "Hi, I'm Zoey! It's so good to meet you!"

    "Mira. Same."

    This was typically the part where Rumi would be expected to introduce herself, but she didn't seem to give a flying fuck about what was expected of her if the way she still just stared even as Celine cleared her throat pointedly said anything.

    -

    "Hey, we got you something from the store last night."

    Rumi squinted between them and the bag. "Why."

    "Because as much as you don't seem to like us, we like you just fine."

    -

    "Well, come on. Aren't you going to bite somebody with those big sharp teeth of yours?" Mira prompted again with a raised brow, shaking Zoey's arm slightly, as if genuinely trying to entice Rumi to take a bite.

    Instead of taking the proffered bait, Rumi turned her head away with a strong air of ‘well now I don't want to.'

    "Thought so." Mira drawled, unimpressed. "Now how about you let us help you inside?"

    -

    Alt take: Repression didn't work baybeee, now it's everyone's problem!

    Summary

    The vast majority of human predators are terrestrial, meaning humanity never evolved the instinct to look up when searching for threats.

    Gwi-Ma knows this and as such gave a gift to his most clever followers.

    Powerful enough demons can grow wings; massive, leathery constructs which allow them to drop out of the sky and carry away their prey.

    Rumi's back split open when she was 14.

    Or. When a part of her demonic heritage becomes impossible to hide, Rumi takes drastic measures

    Summary

    Mira watches as Rumi gets dressed and pats herself down to see if she has everything. Despite how good the money is, it slips out anyway. “I think you’ll find a therapist is more suitable to your needs, darling. And a lot cheaper too.”

    “Therapists don’t show off their lingerie when I visit. O-Or cuddle me,” Rumi says, cheeks flushed, and opens the door. “See you next week.”

    Celebrity Rumi hires sex worker Mira to figure out what she’s into. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    Rumi touched her fingers to her ribs. She could feel the heat radiating from her skin, even through her clothes. A distant, miserable part of her said, this is going to hurt.

    She pushed her fingers down.

    The rib shifted.

    The thing about telling one very big lie is that it requires a foundation of hundreds of smaller lies to hold it up, lies such as "I'm fine," and "nothing's broken," and "it doesn't hurt."

    Rumi finds this out the hard way.
