SUMMARY

In this KML-verse, Megpoid Gumi is young adult lady (26 y.o.), who has siblings - Gakupo (half-brother) and Ryuto. She is happily married to Yuuma Roro and has a little boy - Baoro (who is the same age as Junko). She is a singer, but also, works as a daytime babysitter in VOCAL.Inc. (she babysits minors-singers or vocaloids' offsprings).

Biography

She was a middle child in Megpoid family (her half-brother Gakupo, is 3 years older than her, and her biological brother Ryuto is 11 years younger). She was diagnosed with childhood obesity (caused by slow metabolism), but her parents didn't seem to take it as something serious, and they kept letting her eat as much as she wanted (thinking that the problem will disappear with with age).

At early school age, she met Roro, who was a in parallel class, they easily found a lot in common (Gumi and Roro both loved origami, and used to went to an art club together). Because of her plumpiness, she was bullied from other youngsters and given those kinds of nicknames, such as seal, pig, cow and etc. Which would leave Gumi in a anxious state and low self-esteem, consoling herself with sweets, where only worsened her problem, but that is where Roro, her family begin to take action. Megpoid` parents regret what they negligent, who were with her warning for years, and can comfort Gumi by overprotecting and giving her careful diets. Her old brother and Roro tried their best to help her lose weight by exercising and eating fewer calories - it weakly work at her body, but moral support helped her to get through bullying,

When Gumi became a singer and member of VOCALOID at the age of 18, she was warmly welcomed (especially by member of CFM, whom she befriended with one of them). The result from family and Roro's support was also cemented by her friendship with Luka, who accepted her for who she was. Lady Tuna even found her appearance as really charming, and told Gumi to never doubt her body and accept herself.

Some facts!

Gumi is the same age as Luka (except that Megpoid is 6 months younger) while Roro is 2 years older than Gumi.

Gumi is sweet, tender, loves joking around with youngsters. She can't stand when something unfair happens to her family or friends.

She was pampered by her parents as long-expected child, but it doesn't made her selfish nor arrogant - parents' love inspired her to be a loving and wholesome to everyone.

In InternetCo group, there was a joke about Gumi "How to guess Gumi's favourite color? Pink! Why? Look at her environment". Many a true word is spoken in jest, because Gumi's closest people - Roro and Luka have pink-hair.

(Roro and Gumi): Roro was inconfident about confessing his feelings to, while Gumi was more opened with it; Roro will do his best for his beloved Gumi to make sure that she is safe and sound. They never got separated with each other. Gumi and Roro were childhood friends, and even got a nickname from their classmates "two peas, that looks like carrot and watermelon, in a pot".

When Roro found out that Gumi was expecting their first child, he was so happy that he literally cried (but that is a secret between two of them, because Roro wants to make an appearance of strong confident guy). And all throughout the pregnancy, he was always making sure that Gumi is okay - drank vitamin pills, eat enough, not cold nor heat and etc.

Funniest (sort of) coincidence was the thing, Gumi and her pink best friend Luka were both expecting in the same year (with only 2 months difference, because Baoro was born in July, and Junko - in September). Meiko even said once: "Have you two in cahoots to have a child at the same year?!", which is irony, because both of them kept asking Mei as the one, who had the experience in this. (even though Megpoid and Megurine read a lot of books about pregnancy, they felt come confident if they would talk to somebody, who went through this)

The silence that followed was a long one, stretching to fill the distance between them. Gumi stumbled after him through a series of winding hallways, a clumsy fool to his elegant royalty, and couldn’t help but notice the way she was falling behind.

He was ahead of her – and ahead of her, he would remain. The family dinner they had earlier only cemented this fact. She didn’t belong here.

Regret was a searing poison at the back of her throat, bitter and suffocating.

She didn’t belong here.

Yuuma glanced back, once, twice. Stopped walking entirely, and turned on his heel to face her. His face was a study of light and shadow under the cover of nightfall; his eyes, an unyielding gleam of molten gold.

Gumi bit her lip, an apology ready on the tip of her tongue.

‘Listen, Yuuma. I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to – ’ She paused mid-sentence upon realising his shoulders were shaking. ‘Y... Yuuma...?’

When Yuuma offered no reply, Gumi took a few steps forward for a closer look. He didn’t seem to be in pain, he didn’t seem to be angry; in fact, he seemed to be... laughing?

She swept her gaze over him once more. He really was laughing – he was laughing at her!

A flush rose to her cheeks, rosy and indignant. Here she was, worried sick that she’d brought nothing but shame to his family name, and there he was, sniggering at her like she was a fool for trying her best in the first place!

‘I cannot believe you sometimes,’ Gumi hissed, her tone sharp enough to slice through metal. ‘I know I was awful at dinner, but how could you laugh at me for – ugh, how dare you – !’

.

‘Holy shit,’ was all Yuuma could muster before she launched herself at him. It knocked the wind clear out of his lungs, but after a moment or two he managed to steady them both –

And nearly dropped her when she startled him with a smack to the jaw.

‘Hey, hey – no slapping! No slapping,’ he repeated, catching her wrists gently. Getting hit by Gumi was like a pillow to the face, but that wasn’t the real issue here. ‘You’ve got the wrong idea, okay, Gumi? I admit that I was laughing, but I wasn’t laughing at you.’

Yuuma adjusted his hold on the girl absently. She was a feisty little thing, with neither profound beauty nor effortless grace, but he’d rather shoot himself in the foot than to drop Gumi under any circumstances.

‘I mean,’ he continued, ‘did you see the look on Cousin Mizki’s face when you knocked the salt shaker into her soup? It was priceless. I almost expected her to blow the roof clear off our heads.’

‘... I’m sorry.’

‘Hm?’

‘I’m sorry,’ Gumi said again. She was quick to anger but equally quick to calm down, so she sounded more subdued now, if not tense. ‘I know I ruined everything for you today.’

Yuuma snorted. ‘Are you kidding? That was the best family dinner I’ve had in years. Remind me to bring you along when we’re visiting the Nonny twins next week – they’d love you to bits, just like me.’

It was only then did Gumi finally relax in his arms, a small, sincere smile on her lips.

.

No one was more aware of the social status gap than Yuuma himself. He chose to be patient and move forward slowly, surely, getting a little closer to Gumi every time he looked back.

It took a while, but eventually they met at the halfway point. He was no longer ahead of her, she was no longer falling behind; instead, they were finally together, side by side.

They were finally together – and together, they would remain.
