What if Rumi never tells the girls about her confrontation with Celine?
After the new Honmoon is created, Celine sends the girls messages asking both of them how they are and congratulating them on their success. But Celine, being Celine, tries to hide how worried she truly is. Her messages come across as business-like, just like she usually writes. Both Zoey and Mira text back. Even if they feel like Celine owes them an explanation about Rumi's patterns, they are so happy about beating Gwi-ma that they can't hide their excitement. They also want to talk with Rumi before they even dare complaining to Celine about not letting them know about Rumi's heritage.
Celine does call Rumi until she picks up and they talk briefly. Rumi asks Celine to give her some time and space, and she does. Celine respects Rumi's request, even though she texts her from time to time just to make sure she's okay.
Huntrix don't do much besides staying at home enjoying their couch and going to the bathhouse during their hiatus, so Zoey and Mira don't find it strange they don't see Celine during those three months. They both called the woman at some point and talked for a while about what happened, but the old woman didn't request meeting them and they didn't either.
However, as time goes by, and they go back to their routine, they start noticing Celine's absence. It's not usual to run into her ever since she stepped down from her position at the label, but she'd stop by at penthouse from time to time. Or Rumi would always try to find the opportunity to meet her at least once a month if she was in Seoul. They don't see her, though she calls Mira or Zoey a couple of times, and so they think things must be okay.
Mira's the first to notice she hasn't called Rumi in a very long time, though —or so she suspects—, and Rumi hasn't really been herself either. She's more open with them and she seems more at ease now that she isn't hiding a part of her, but Mira realises there's always this far away look on her face when she thinks she's alone. And more than once she's noticed Rumi following Zoey or Bobby with her gaze when they're in a phone call with Celine.
She tries to ask if things are okay, and Rumi insists she is. Blaming her odd behaviour to the Comeback plans, and her being a bit nervous about fans reception of her "skin condition" once they start doing promos once again.
Months go by, and eventually Celine's absence slips their mind as they become more and more busy with their Comeback album. It's only when the "Sunlight Sisters' 30th anniversary programme" and "Kang Celine" start trending that they realise two things: Rumi didn't mention the anniversary programme —she must have known, right?— and Celine is trending for breaking down on camera during the programme when asked about Rumi.
