Summary
Rumi was never meant to stand in the spotlight, she belonged to the shadows, carrying scars no one was supposed to see. Mira has lived her whole life in the glare of it, polished and untouchable, even as her world threatened to crack beneath her.
When Rumi is assigned as Mira’s bodyguard, neither of them expected more than duty and distance. But what begins as obligation slowly unravels into something neither expected.
As danger closes in and secrets surface, both women are forced to confront what it means to trust, carry scars, and to risk everything for someone who might just matter more than survival itself.

Summary
Celine finally breaks her silence. "You liked them so much because they're the same color as your hair."
"Did we use to have them in the garden?"
"Yes," Celine hums. "I planted them for the same reason."
"I see," Rumi's eyes linger on the picture for a little bit longer before she turns to Celine. "I wish you told me that."
To her surprise, Celine actually relents and says: "Likewise."
OR: The many ways Celine put Rumi first, for better or for worse, and the one time (through Zoey and Mira's love) Rumi doesn't let her.

Summary
"So, Rumi," Zoey's mother begins, so sweet and benign and unaware of the massive headache she was about to gracefully bestow upon Rumi. "Are you seeing anyone?"
It's an innocent question. Just one of those things that parents ask their daughter's friends. She asks it while Rumi helps herself to a delectable serving of galbi jjim, piling cuts of the meat onto her plate, and Rumi almost fumbles her chopsticks and drops a piece.
It's just a yes or no question.
Rumi, however, stops and very eloquently says: "Um."
OR: When Zoey's cousin invites all three of them to California for his wedding, Zoey is forced to navigate her and Rumi's newly-found feelings for each other while staying at her parents' house for four days. Zoey's trying not to explode, Rumi is an awkward, blushing mess, and Mira thinks it's the funniest shit ever. Will they manage to survive Costco, nosy family members in a backyard barbecue, a bachelor party, and the wedding day itself?

Summary
Rumi’s mind wanders, desperate for a change of subject. Her gaze lands on the two women who’ve been repeatedly plaguing her mind ever since she saw them step out of the limousine. Mira grins and sips on her drink, listening intently to whatever Zoey’s saying, the shorter girl gesticulating her hands wildly in the air. An ache settles in Rumi’s sternum, and that thought, that possibility—the possibility that this show can actually work—rattles through her skull.
“Hey, Celine?” she starts, not looking away from the view ahead of her. “I know it’s unconventional, but can I give out two First Impression Roses?”
Celine considers her words and follows her gaze. She presses her lips into a thin line, then she shrugs in acceptance. “Sure. After all, you’re the Bachelorette.”

Summary
Everything was perfectly normal. Except that it wasn’t.
Rumi knew it the way she knew that the sun rose in the east and set in the smooth line of Mira’s shoulders, graceful and lithe. Rumi knew it the way oceans ebb and words flowed through Zoey. Rumi knew it the way she knew she would die.
And that the Honmoon would remain.
Because the Honmoon was stronger than ever. It waxed as she waned.
And that was the thing, wasn't it.
Or: Rumi died that night at Namsan Tower. It just took her body a little while to catch up.
