Ok. Hear me out.
Rumi is pop star royalty, daughter of two Sunlight Sisters. She already has contracts waiting for her to launch a solo career if she wants to but she is struggling with self worth because despite having an amazing voice, she isn’t really into being a nepo baby. The good thing is she is still fairly unknown so she decides she needs to try a little normalcy.
She decides to go to college and stay in a dorm, where she meets her roomies - Zoey, studying music to be a lyricist and Mira, studying dance and choreography.
Things clearly start to bloom between them and Rumi is scared that revealing who she really is will cause them to see her differently. After all, when you’re famous, you don’t know if people love you for what you can give them or for who you truly are. Unfortunately, she has had a bad experience with this with her ex, Jinu, who used her to make the connections to create his boyband before unceremoniously dumping her.
Because she cares about them, she has actually been trying to help them. She has been working with Zoey to write songs and has gotten Mira to do choreography. She has sneakily recorded it all and forwarded it to her people - who are thrilled. At first, she entertained the idea of just hiring them for her solo career as she feels energized and is starting to love music again thanks to the girls’ help. But slowly, in the back of her mind, she feels, no the WANT, to share the stage with them instead of relegating them to the background.
Of course it all changes, when Jinu gets a hold of one of the tracks and essentially stole and release it because he thought they were just samples of Rumi’s and he knew he had a hold on her that she would just either let it go or he would force her into a collaboration. Their label would demand they play nice.
Of course it forces Rumi’s hand because what other explanation can be made to Zoey and Mira when Zoey’s lyrics and Mira’s choreography is now hitting charts via a boyband.
It’s a mess, it’s polytrix love and can someone please write this?
I want angst, I want slow burn, I want love babyyyy.
(Someone please write this fic for me.)
