Min-ho with Rumi about visiting relatives in Kazakhstan the moment he heard about hiatus (he couldn't take her in all years after the debut she'll be on at least 3 birthdays and one cousin's wedding somewhere in Novosibirsk in the future)
stuff i kinda had in thought about Min-ho. i already stated that he is a koryo saram from Kazakhstan
he is probably from northen Kazakhstan and studied in music academy in Astana on piano faculty till he flunked out in final years (bc it was the early 90s and his family like really needed money) (so him and miyeong have like 7 year age gap or so)
he went to south korea to do construction work, and in his free time he was mostly in the local libraries to study language properly. There he met teenage Miyeong that was studying for her school exams. turns out they had similar materials to study so they decided to work together occasionally (miyeong definitely wasn't a little shit about a 20 year old talking in broken korean). in turn with help with the korean Min-ho helped Miyeong with music theory
after two years Min-ho went to other city and Miyeong went to the demon hunter compound to train
during the time before 2000 Min-ho got himself in trouble with mafia and was almost killed when he became a demon.
around year 2000 he met Miyeong again when sunlight sisters busted a demon hideout and she ran away to catch him. they immediately recognised each other and Miyeong couldn't find it in her to kill a past friend. She let him go on the promise of contact and giving info on demon placements. It all slowly grew into dating and later Rumi.
Min-ho trying to come clean from his past started a car selling business to post soviet countries and was away for a month at a time. During one of his times away demons attacked Miyeong. Feeling the situation through the honmoon sunlight sisters were on time to save Rumi but not Miyeong (third sunlight sister also got heavily injured)
Min-ho got noticed post factum by the police so when he came back (as fast as he could) he was greeted by angry Celine and a very complicated situation.
in the end because of his work Min-ho gave partial guardianship to Celine and Yuli (thirdlight) and they all moved to demon hunter compound (he couldn't stand being in the apartment where his wife got killed)

extra stuff about Celine being a dragon in this au and how it plays in the picture
Min-ho didn't want to become a demon in the first place he hated being one and thinking about the future where he would be living in place where demon hunters live to give out their location would be extra stupid with Gwi-ma looking through the eyes of every demon.
so he asked Celine to give him a part of her soul to cut him off from Gwi-ma influence
~~~
extra extra stuff Min-ho is a HOARDER of all music to the point of several rooms being filled with music media (especially underground) and producing stuff
average Min-ho reaction to Celine shouting at him for throwing vinyls and cds everywhere
late bloomer alpha Cassie trying to hide that she presented (probably after abortion due to hormonal spike) ends up secretly dating Nate (who is a beta that really wants to be an alpha but c'mon he can't smell like at all)
it all goes up to the whole fight between Cas and Maddy and bathroom scene where Cas being all bloody and stressed out and Maddy (omega) being in close proximity to her ex friend finally senses that Cas presented
it sparks another dramatic scene between them that later ends up in them finally talking etc
been reading a lot of regression/isekai manhwas lately
tbh loving that the regressing mcs that are native to the world are like progressing every day, trying to do everything somewhat according to law and are quite serious in general
sketches on that rumi's dad and celine co-parenting au (it also has dragon Celine)
koryo saram are koreans from post soviet countries, there is a big history and a lot of koreans from these countries actually move to south korea either for work or to live (also bc i am koryo saram so let me indulge)
