Summary
The memory rises unbidden: the clash of bodies, the way Rumi had aimed a blow at her torso. Mira dodging— barely— only allowing Rumi to graze her side.
“And what’s your name?” Rumi had asked mid-fight, breath steady, smirk radiant.
“Like I’d tell—”
Rumi had leapt back then, sudden and theatrical, leaving space between them. Mira had paused, wary, unsure what game she was playing.
Then Rumi had flourished Mira’s ID, plucked from her pocket without her noticing.
“Kang Mira, Interpol,” she’d read aloud, slow and condescending, like she was talking to a kindergartener. “Woah. The big guns are after me now.”
“How’d you—?”
“Picked your pocket just now,” Rumi had continued, eyes flicking up to meet hers. “Pretty name for a pretty face.”
“Damn,” Zoey’s voice had crackled in Mira’s earpiece. “She’s good. And hot.”
“Stop that,” Mira had snapped— both at the nagging voice in her head and at the nagging voice ahead of her.
OR
Mira and Zoey are the Interpol agents assigned to the Ryu Rumi case, a globally renowned superthief. But the closer Mira gets, the more she begins to notice the quieter ways the case is beginning to take things from her.

Summary
"So pull me up from down below
'Cause I'm underneath the undertow
Come dry me off and hold me close
I need you now, I need you most"---
If Rumi said she’d always wanted Mira and Zoey to know about her patterns, she’d be lying.
When Celine suggested that Rumi officially become a Hunter at sixteen and start her own group, Rumi agreed instantly. When Celine warned Rumi about telling or showing her prospective group members about her patterns, Rumi agreed it was for the best that she keep it a secret. Besides, the patterns would be gone once they sealed the Honmoon, right? How long could that take, anyways?
It would take a while, actually, because Rumi forgot about the lead-up to a group’s debut.

Summary
she looks back down to meet his gaze, picking up her fork to poke at her cold food distractedly.
“they just get so… cuddly. and touchy-feely, i guess.”
there’s a brief, silent pause in which rumi and jinu stare at each other with what feels like the weight of the world on their shoulders. jinu eventually breaks first.
“oh my god,” he breathes out the breath he didn’t even realise he was holding harshly before smothering his face into his hands.
“what?” rumi snaps defensively, her brows tightening into a tiny, self-conscious frown.
“nothing,” he sighs, dragging his hands down his face. “i just can’t believe that your problem is two of the hottest women on campus wanting to cuddle with you after sex.”
or,
the one where rumi doesn't quite understand what aftercare is, and freaks out about it just a bit.

Summary
The woman’s eyes widened, and her hand reached out, not quite touching Rumi, but close. “Not that you’re not beautiful, because wow, you-” She stopped, a look of realisation crossed her face “-I mean, no, wait, no, you are beautiful, but I wasn’t hitting on you, I have a girlfriend-”
Rumi ignored her chest squeezing.
“-A stunning girlfriend, Mira. I mentioned her, right? My girlfriend Mira-” The woman stopped abruptly and lowered her head down into her arms. “Jeez, Zoey, stop rambling at the deaf woman.” It was muffled, but Rumi heard it.
Silenced by grief, Rumi’s world is transformed when she crosses paths with Mira and Zoey, who guide her toward a voice she thought was lost forever.

Summary
Rumi recoiled, her trembling arms dragging up into a fragile gesture of surrender. And then she saw it, the glow. The dark sigils blazing across the backs of her own hands, pulsing like molten veins. Zoey’s blood streaked her skin in broken lines, smearing across those marks like a cruel reminder of what she had done. She could feel the patterns burning beneath the fabric of her hoodie, heat crawling up her arms, snaking along her throat, spreading everywhere until it felt like her whole body was branded from the inside out.
Rumi’s throat worked, but no words came. Or maybe they didn’t matter anymore. Because what Mira saw, what was written across her skin, was enough.

or
Zoey and Mira learn Rumi’s secret at the worst possible time — and in the worst possible way. Guilt consumes her as cracks begin to form in her relationships with everyone she loves.- Language:
