Soulmates, romantically speaking. That is how Maggie Khan and her team described Rumi and Jinu's relationship. I don't think personally this was pulled out last minute, but an extra layer in understanding Rumi and Jinu's relationship.

Instead of thinking she is trying something last minute after the films success. Perhaps fans just need to understand she is describing Rujinu's relationship. Rumi and Jinu have a special connection and it's described as soulmates. Which can be a good way of describing why they "feel right" when they are around each other, and why they feel like "I can tell you anything".

So they are using Enemies to Lovers as a trope, they fall in love not because of attraction but because they feel the other has positively changed them. The attraction is there, but they are meant to have a deeper connection than sexual attraction alone.

They have a special connection that "feels right". A special connection that was described as soulmates.

It's this connection that healed Rumi's voice and gave Jinu hope. A connection that made Rumi come to save him, and for Jinu to risk his own life saving Rumi's. I don't think Maggie Khan calling Rumi and Jinu soulmates is a bad thing but helps us understand them better. Its a way of describing the connection and makes the ending more tragic. If Jinu comes back, Rumi will still have that special connection with him. If he doesn't it just makes the first film tragic. I then would hope she finds another person she clicked with, as much as she did with Jinu.

Other couples also have connections. In G4 MLP, Applejack's parents trope AND romantic connection is star crossed lovers. AKA, they are pony Romeo and Juliet.

but then stories start coming out from doctors who were there when the baby was born, saying that they swear to god, that baby came out with purple hair, it was the strangest thing theyve ever seen

and then images of their kid as a newborn come out with them, indeed, having purple hair

and people start freaking out and theorizing that huntrix has access to some gene modification technology that allows them to make their kids hair unnatural colors, which leads to the question “what gene unlocks the purple?”

and then images of RUMI as a newborn somehow get leaked, and people are left even more confused like did they really have access to this tech in 2001?

Rumi dreams of an impossible city, and some figures from the past show up 🐅 🐦‍⬛ somewhere, music calls to her.

SUNMARY

Rumi is happy. Really, she is.

Huntrix are stronger than ever. Her secrets are gone. Her shame is gone. For the first time in her life, she is free.

But grief is a stubborn thing. Something watches her from the shadows. She cannot bring herself to say his name.

Somewhere beyond the edge of sleep, in a city that should not exist, music calls to her.

I’ve started a new RuJinu story! It explores Rumi’s reaction to Jinu’s death…and how we might see our fave demon again 😈 get ready for a lot of yearning, a journey though a city that shouldn’t exist, found family vibes and angst with a happy ending. Rated M.

SUMMARY:

Rumi is happy.

Really, she is.

Huntrix are stronger than ever. Her secrets are gone. Her shame is gone. For the first time in her life, she is free.

But grief is a stubborn thing. Something watches her from the shadows.

She cannot bring herself to say his name.

Somewhere beyond the edge of sleep, in a city that should not exist, music calls to her.

Days later, Celine still hasn’t left her house and suddenly hears banging on her steps. She assumes it’s just an animal or the wind but she still decides to go check and opens the door to the same little demon from before staring at her with a giant grin and basket of fish. Celine is determined to go back into her house and collapse onto her couch but the young demon is determined to thank Celine somehow for saving her life.

(Rumi’s reaction to Celine rejecting her gift)

okay, i need to be angsty about this thought. so, prepare yourselves.

celine figures this out. since rumi has been alive, she has been researching demons, collecting old documents and diary entries and everything one can imagine. truly, it was a matter of time before she realised that rumi's existence was hindering the last step needed for the golden honmoon.

they were close, really close. they'd come back home from a show and shove each others' shoulders with a grin; did you see that? a gold streak passed through, i swear, i swear i saw it!

but they weren't there. it wasn't enough and it could never be enough.

of course, the first stage of grief is denial, and since celine had already started mourning rumi (though she was very much alive at that point), she was sure that there was a loophole somewhere. but no, not this time.

it took her weeks, months of postponing the decision. but it had to be done. after all, it was a simple calculation. one person who she loved the most of all or the whole world?

(besides, she already lost dear people before. what's one more?)

there's a concert to be held. rumi gets sick the night before, calls celine, calls bobby. she can't sing, can barely move. her head is thumping, not a migraine, but something resembling one. she feels feverish and confused and dazed.

mira and zoey are ready to cancel the concert, but alas, celine ushers them to go. after all, the fans cannot be disappointed.

and so they go, and celine tells rumi to join her at the compound. she makes her her favourite tea, strokes her hair as if she is 5 years old again. whispers sweet nothings and shares her juvenile memories filled with mischief. offering comfort, knowing this is the last chance to do it.

she doesn't explain in to her. doesn't have the heart.

(she has come so far. she does not hate her reflection anymore, doesn't bury her nails into the markings of her skin. celine cannot let her know that she is cursed after all.)

she just does it. she strikes a blade through her. watches the blood hug her cursedcursedcursed flesh.

in the centre of seoul, the concert is magnificent. what is more magnificent than anything is when it happens. mira and zoey stop to watch it, watch the strings tighten, the iridescent blanket shine more and more with every wave.

it is sealed.

when they get home, rumi is nowhere to be found. they call her, but she does not answer.

Chapter 3 is out!

Rumi smirked, she reached behind herself and unclipped her bra, revealing her bare breasts to Zoey, they were tender, the perfect size, nipples peaked and absolutely...

…

Holy fuck Zoey's going to die.

For a moment, she forgot to breathe.

"Zoey? " Rumi checked in, concerned yet amused.

Zoey shook her head. "Oh- uh, sorry! sorry! I'm just... admiring? "

Real smooth, Zoey.

Rumi giggled. "You're so cute when you're flustured. "
