'we have to die for them to find us noble'.

Zoey: Ideally? Fuck us at some point.

Like. If the Honmoon is sealed. And there isn’t a reason really to keep performing other than love of it.

Even if demons still get in. There isn’t anything shameful about teaching the next generation.

And you know what Celine probably made sure to do for the girls? A very extensive grounding in first aid and emergency medicine.

She’s already had at least one bandmate die on her. If she can stop that trauma for the girls, she will. And she can afford the classes.

All 3 of them after their idol days having an option going into medicine, if they want, without anything too shocking happening for them tbh if that’s what they chose.

I just think. It would be really funny. To have Rumi in her 30s, (or Mira, with her hot pink hair) bright purple hair and all, doing rounds and someone going who do you think you are, Ryu Rumi? Actually I wonder what she’s doing these days.

Rumi: this.

Or Zoey being a resident. And someone making a comment that she looks just like that one idol!

Their friend: not every pretty Korean person is someone famous don’t be racist

Zoey cackling in the background because no no. it is her! (or not, and zoey just nodding along being like YEAH although I appreciate)

And then the girls going into their residency (together? Apart? Only one? Take your pick!) and everyone (except Celine and each other) are expecting them to drop out or go into something that isn’t that is considered to be high stress.

Except. Haha guess what, they go into surgery and trauma and the ER and they thrive because having to make very quick decisions under immense amounts of pressure when it literally is life or death, and FAST, is something they’ve been doing since they were teenagers and continued to do for close to a decade.

They don’t need for someone to tell them that their actions have consequences and can kill people. They already had that conversation a long, long time ago and have seen it in action.

All of their supervisors and managers being confusion. Because how are they so damn competent when they obviously know what their background is, it is very easy to confirm that none of them have any military experience.

But how they move and operate and react screams former soldier to anyone who have the eyes to look, they never freeze, never hesitate, and how are they able to improvise the way they do for some of the things coming into the ER what do you mean that worked

(it’s because more than anything. They want to save people. That’s what they’ve always wanted. And in the aftermath of a demon attack, slaying the demon wasn’t always enough. If the girls who can fall out of a plane without a scratch can end up with injuries, what hope does the average person have? So yeah, they use what they had on hand, called the people needed. And then saved the next person they could. Because they always want to help

They spent their childhood being soldiers. Sure they were idols but they knew it wasn’t a game. They knew people would die if they weren’t good enough.

They knew that Rumi’s mom haddied, they see the graveyard of past hunters and know that they didn’t all, or very many, have a happy ending. The first time they had to do their best to stitch someone together after a demon attack was an eye opener, but they didn’t stop)

Above everything, they want to help.

Incorrect K-pop demon hunters quotes part 45

Olivia Cooke as Queen Alicent Hightower

Like, I think it makes sense that as the maknae of the group, people expect Zoey to be the one using the honorific term, so she does it as part of her public persona. She usually calls Rumi, and sometimes Mira, unnie while they're doing interviews or fan meets because she knows people think it's so cute. But privately? She never does because its just not part of who she really is. Honorifics are way too formal for her so she likes to call them by silly nicknames much more, to show how close to them and safe with them she feels.

On the other hand, Mira being the "bad girl" of the group makes it so rules for her are in many ways opposite to Zoey's. While she is of course always respectful and professional, people don't really expect her using honorifics, which she is happy about after growing up on a social group where that type of respect was more expected and demanded than earned.

So while she doesn't usually adress nobody by such terms, it is a core part of how she was brought up, so her brain still corelates respect with honorifics. And while her relationship with Rumi has always had its highs and lows, it is undeniable that Rumi has earned her respect more than practically every authority figure during her childhood and teenage years.

So, sometimes the term just falls out of her mouth while they're doing something together at home, while she feels particulary soft and close to her leader or even particulary vulnerable.

It never fails to make Rumi blush, aware of everything the word really means. Which in turn makes Mira blush because no, she didn't really caught that she called her that until Right Now, thank you very much.
