Like, they dedicated actual years of their lives to achieving it, they sacrificed so much, they risked their very lives, all while having to live precarious double lives in the public eye. And how does the Honmoon repay them for all their hard work?

By taking away someone they both cared for and loved deeply simply because of what she was born as!

This is the thanks they get from the universe. After everything they had to endure just to protect it, because they were the only ones who could. This is the thanks Rumi gets; Rumi who worked her entire life and dedicated every waking second to the Honmoon.

It took her away from them. It took her away from them!

It's not fair! They gave the Honmoon everything! They gave, and gave, and gave, and the Honmoon just took and took! In the end, their "cosmic reward" was yet again something (someone) that the Honmoon took! The one thing in the entire world the two of them ever wanted!

If they could destroy the Honmoon, even tear into it a little bit, if it meant that there was even the slightest chance they could get Rumi back by utterly ripping the Honmoon to shreds themselves (however they manage to figure out how to do that), they'd do it in a heartbeat! The world be damned for it!

They'd do it in a heartbeat...that is, if it didn't feel like such an incredible insult to Rumi for them to even consider harming the Golden Honmoon. After she gave her very life for its existence. No. How could they do that to her? Even think about doing it? They couldn't. Rumi would be so, so disappointed in them. They have to respect the Honmoon.

Shoutout to when KPDH fan artists draw Mira like this.

That shit's funny AF

Dude, imagine Rumi finding this out somehow - like through a routine doctor's appointment or something (a REAL doctor, not doctor Han). That it had only been a normal bout of vocal strain and not her "lifelong afflicted curse" finally completely seizing her body. Imagine how annoyed she'd be because this would mean she overreacted over literally nothing! If they had just gone on break, she would've been fine! She could've kept her secret longer! It's completely her fault Zoey and Mira found out the way they did-!

(Well, it-it's not a bad thing, really! She's happy that they know now! She's happy she doesn't have to hide this from them anymore! It's just…well, if she had known, maybe she would've caused them a lot less trouble the last few months.

Maybe everything at the Idol Awards would've gone much smoother.

Maybe none of it had to happen.

Maybe there's still a small part of her that feels guilty about how long she kept the secret from them, and selfishly sort of wishes she could've at least known if her patterns would disappear when they sealed the Honmoon, because maybe then she would have toughed it out until that point and then maybe things would be better than they are now.

Sue a girl for having intrusive thoughts, then!)

And on one hand, Zoey and Mira would be incredibly upset at her for even venturing down that mental rabbit hole. For being upset that she couldn't keep lying to them forever. (What the hell, Rumi!? We talked about all the lying and hiding! You trying to say you'd take it all back if you knew it was an option!?)

I...I don't even...

Zoey for the longest time viewed her two bandmates as "cool, poised, and gorgeous daughter of popstar royalty" and "sexy badass rich fashion queen with stunning dancer legs". And then there was her, "girl from America who writes lyrics and raps sometimes". Honestly, she did a very bad job of hiding the fact that she had major crushes on her two bandmates. (Especially since she knew there was a sort of unofficial "dating ban" in the K-pop industry. The last thing she wants is to get in major legal trouble in her dream profession because she's a bisexual disaster.) Besides, she's super out of BOTH their leagues, and if either one of them ever found out she had feelings for them, it would make everything super awkward forever.

What's the likelihood that the two prettiest women she's ever met in her life would both also be interested in girls anyways? (Oh honey-)

It's Mira who confesses first that she likes Zoey. A lot. Maybe even more than friends. Because they've known each other for three years (around the time she confesses), and yet she feels like she should've known Zoey all her life. Because she can listen to Zoey's voice for hours and not get annoyed. She can spent hours around her and not feel stressed or like she has to impress her. Because Zoey is always doing her best to be attentive to her and her boundaries. Yeah, she may not be 100% interested all the time in what the maknae has to say (even though she has inadvertently learned a lot just from hearing her infodump), but her presence and attention have always been more comforting to Mira than anyone in her entire life ever managed to be.

And hell, maybe it is too soon to say, but…Mira's pretty sure she loves Zoey.

It's the most vulnerable she's ever been with the younger girl. And she's spilled so many similar emotions that Zoey had been feeling for so long and thought were inappropriate to express out loud, and Mira just made her feel like the only girl in the world and-…and she freezes up.

Because is this actually happening? HOW is this actually happening??

Because Mira is Mira (hot, incredible, talented), and Zoey is just Zoey (overactive, overtalkative, overbearing)! There is no way Mira actually genuinely for realsies LIKES her! As MORE than friends! Is this a prank!? It's a cruel one! Why would Mira pull a mean prank like this!? She wouldn't, right? No. But why would this be the truth!?

And of course, because she spends so long staring at nothing and not responding, Mira loses her nerve and just tells her to forget she said anything, and that she doesn't want this to make anything weird between them. She really doesn't want to lose Zoey over something like this. If she doesn't feel the same, that's cool. Mira just needed her to know how special she was to her. And of course seeing her retreat into her shell so fast after how bold she had just been makes Zoey snap out of it. In the worst way possible.

She blurts out "take me on a date!" And then wants to die afterwards. BECAUSE WHO DOES THAT!?

Mira's caught off guard for a moment. (Trying to switch gears on the fact that she is actually not getting rejected after all.) And then - doing her best to keep an even, casual smile - "Sure. You've always wanted to go to the aquarium in Busan, right? That's the one that has the three different sea turtles. I remember you saying something about that."

She remembered Zoey saying that. She actually does listen to Zoey's ramblings. She must have been planning to take Zoey there the second she asked.

She really does like Zoey. And poor girl can't do anything but swoon.

(Related - I headcanon that Mira was Zoey's first kiss. First everything, honestly. First real friend, first date, first kiss, first girlfriend, first time.
