YOU GET YOUR FROG PET A FRIEND 🐸
that frog is so awesome!😂😂
Anyway, I hope you'll enjoy this one!
MASTERLIST
JINU ❤️
Jinu’s first reaction is quiet, as always. He’s sitting nearby, lost in thought, when he sees your frog and its friend side by side. For a moment, it takes him a second to process what he’s actually looking at. He blinks, then rubs his eyes, wondering if the two frogs just look like best friends from the angle you’re at.
You notice him observing them and nudge him. “What do you think?” you ask, watching him closely.
He glances down at the two frogs, who are now sitting next to each other in a ridiculously adorable manner. The smaller frog, has perched itself on top of her friend's back, a weirdly wholesome sight given how much bigger one of them is. Jinu’s lips curl into a subtle, amused smile, and he shakes his head.
“I think… this is actually kind of adorable,” he admits, his tone soft, like he’s finally giving in to the cuteness of the situation. “It’s almost like… they’re keeping each other company.”
He watches them for a little longer, leaning closer to get a better look at how the smaller frog keeps hopping around while the bigger one just sits there, calmly observing everything like the more “mature” of the two.
“That’s kind of like us,” he says with a small, knowing grin, but it’s not playful like you’d expect from him. It’s more thoughtful, as though the idea of two creatures who are so different being able to bond over something as simple as companionship resonates with him.
There’s a soft, protective side to Jinu that you don’t see too often — and it shows in the way he watches over the frogs. Even though he’d never openly admit it, he enjoys seeing the quiet affection between them. He has an understanding of how small, little connections can mean so much.
“Let me guess,” he continues, glancing at you, “you’re going to spoil them both now, aren’t you?”
“Of course,” you reply, laughing softly. “It’s just what I do.”
“Yeah, I know,” he responds with a half-smile.
You catch him looking at them again as they interact, and you can tell that he finds the whole thing oddly heartwarming, but he won’t be the one to say it out loud. Instead, he just gets up and says, “I’ll make sure they have enough food. Can’t have them fighting over who gets the biggest bug.”
He leaves the room, and you can’t help but smile. You didn’t think it was possible for Jinu to warm up to something so quickly, but here he is, taking care of your pet frogs in his own way.
ABBY 💚
Abby’s reaction to your frogs is more in line with what you’d expect from his chaotic, goofy energy. The moment he spots the two frogs lounging together, his face lights up, and he jumps up with excitement.
“BABY! LOOK!” He waves his hands dramatically, barely containing his excitement. “I think they’re bonding! They’re BFFs!”
You’re just sitting there, watching it all unfold, and you can’t help but chuckle. Abby’s genuinely thrilled at the sight of them. He rushes over, and without asking, he gently scoops one of them up and lets the little frog sit in his palm.
“They’re like... mini best friends, huh?” Abby asks, looking at you with wide, enthusiastic eyes. You can tell he’s so happy about the two frogs’ connection. “I love them already. I bet they have little conversations with each other like *‘Hey, what’s up, nice to meet you,’ and the second one is all like ‘Oh hi, I’m just chillin’, you wanna go for a ride on my back?’”
You roll your eyes, laughing. “Abby, they don’t talk like that.”
But Abby’s already off in his own world, imagining the frogs as little characters with personalities of their own. He’s in full-on frog dad mode now.
“Okay, okay,” he continues, “but if they do talk, I’m pretty sure this one's the older, cooler one who teaches the tiny one how to get all the best bugs. You know, like the mentor.” He pulls out his phone and starts videoing them, much to your amusement. “Okay, hold on, I gotta get this on tape, we need to put this on the internet. Two frogs, bonding like this? This is going viral.”
You catch him secretly buying them tiny little accessories too. Later, you find out Abby went to the pet store and bought two little frog hammocks for them. He insists, “They need their own little place to chill, of course!”
After that, he’s totally in charge of their frog-sitting duties, always making sure the frogs have enough snacks and that their little "home" is perfectly set up. He’s that guy who’ll spend hours Googling the best ways to care for your frogs, even though he’s a total disaster when it comes to actually keeping plants alive. But hey, for the frogs, he’s a model pet parent.
MYSTERY 💜
Mystery’s reaction is more subtle. You’d never catch him openly gushing over the frogs the way Abby does, but when he sees how they are getting along, a small, knowing smirk crosses his lips. He watches them for a moment, arms crossed, before saying, “They make an interesting pair, don’t they?”
You look at him. “Interesting?”
He nods. “Well, yeah. You wouldn’t expect a big frog like this one to take so kindly to the smaller one.”
You can’t help but giggle. “They’re best friends.”
Mystery glances at you, a look of amusement in his eyes, but it’s his quiet amusement — the kind that never fully makes it into his words. “I suppose even frogs can teach us something about bonds.”
You raise an eyebrow. “What do you mean?”
“Well, think about it.” He gestures at the frogs, who are now happily sitting together, the small one hopping over to nestle close to the big one. “In a way, they’ve both found something in each other that they wouldn’t have expected. Maybe it’s the companionship they needed.”
You blink, realizing he’s speaking on a much deeper level. “You’re saying they’re like us?”
Mystery gives a half-smile. “Perhaps.”
He leaves it at that, but you know he’s not just talking about the frogs. He’s talking about himself too. It’s not often he opens up, but when he does, it’s in these quiet, almost hidden ways. He may not gush about your pets, but the way he watches over them — like how he watches over you — speaks volumes.
When you ask him if he’s ever considered adopting more frogs, he gives you that signature mystery smile and says, “I think two is enough. Any more and we’ll have a zoo on our hands.”
ROMANCE 🩷
When Romance sees your frogs bonding, he immediately goes into grandiose mode. It’s honestly a little over-the-top, even for him.
“Behold!” he announces dramatically, pointing at the two frogs. “Two noble creatures, united in the sacred bond of friendship.”
You roll your eyes, but you’re still smiling. “Romance, they’re just frogs.”
“Just frogs?!” He throws his hands up, nearly knocking over a vase. “They are soulmates! Look at how they have chosen each other — the noble protector, and the fiery and spirited younger companion. It’s a tale as old as time, darling!”
You can’t help but laugh at his intensity. He’s got the whole dramatic flair going, like he’s narrating some grand romance novel.
“We must host a celebration in their honor,” he declares, still pacing around. “Perhaps a grand feast to commemorate their newfound companionship! Something fitting for such a spectacular friendship.”
You’re half-suspecting that Romance is more excited about throwing a “party” for the frogs than anything else. But you know what? You’re kind of into it.
You watch as he prepares an entire banquet of tiny treats for them. There are little leaves and berries and even miniature frog-sized cakes he insists on baking.
Romance is absolutely smitten with the idea of your frogs being best friends, and his flair for drama only makes the whole thing even more hilarious. He’ll be the one singing little love songs for them as they hop around, treating them like royalty.
When you ask him about how he would explain their friendship to others, he confidently states, “I would tell the world that their connection is pure, a testament to how even in the animal kingdom, two souls can find each other against all odds. What a beautiful thing, don’t you think?”
“Romance, it’s just frogs.”
“Darling, it’s everything.”
BABY 💙
Baby’s reaction is a mix of confusion, pure amusement, and sheer over-the-top affection.
“Wait, wait,” he says, blinking rapidly at the two frogs. “So… it has a best friend now? Like, a real one?”
“Yeah,” you reply. “They’re inseparable.”
“THIS IS TOO MUCH!” Baby bursts out, collapsing on the couch dramatically. “You have TWO frogs now?! That’s like… double the responsibility! Double the awesomeness! Double the trouble!”
He leans in, inspecting the frogs like they’re some kind of treasure. Then, he squints at you. “Okay, so… I’m guessing I’m gonna have to babysit them, huh? Like, all the time?”
You laugh. “You’ll have to fight Abby for the title of best frog sitter.”
“I’ll win, obviously,” Baby declares, grinning like the self-proclaimed king of frog care. “Who else is gonna make sure they get their five-star treatment? Huh? ME!! That’s who.”
He actually gets way too into their care. He’s Googling frog care websites, reading up on their “emotional needs,” and making sure they get the best food. He even starts getting jealous if one of them seems to favor the other over him.
“Hey!” he whines. “Don’t you guys love me too? Come on, give me some attention! I’m the one who lets you chill on my lap all the time! Y/N THEY DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE!!! HUG ME!!! I'LL MAKE THEM JEALOUS TOO!!!”
At one point, you catch Baby trying to give them a tiny miniature playhouse for their “adventures” — which is honestly the most Baby thing ever.
He makes sure the kids are never insecure. The way he does it is by telling them to do an empowerment mantra every day in the mirror before stepping out of their room.
Helps the children with fashion advice. Ro was just a teensy bit upset that Na-ri and Min-seo weren't as feminine as his other girls, but got over it. He realized that he should back off when he went to the mall with the kids for the first time.
Min-seo gravitated toward Hot Topic, and Na-ri gravitated toward Monster-A-GoGo. He had the gall to ask them if they wanted anything more girly. He wasn't at all mean about it, just curious.
Na-ri looked uncomfortable, as did Min-seo.
"Do we...have to like girly things?"
Romance didn't like that. Not at all. He never wanted to make his babies uncomfortable. And thankfully, Baby appeared behind him and whispered
"Don't you think they should wear what they want?"
That snapped whatever rebuttal Romance had, and he left his girls alone, "Ah- no! You can wear whatever makes you happy!"
After that, he started looking into the styles Na-ri and Min-seo liked. And spoil them in it. Offering advice when he could. He would sometimes feel a little peeved when either of them wouldn't take his advice, but never said anything. He's not like Jinu. Or in other words, not a control freak.
You could say he's the parent that empasizes the importance of self-love. But the problem is he's a little...intense about it. Maybe a little scary.
Hae-un had the audacity...
"Appas, do you think I'm too chubby?"
Romance stilled his movements of laundry folding (why don't they have maids for this again?). He looked at her in concern before coming over to her. His tone was soft...at first. His palms cradled her face as he looked her dead in the eye.
"My sweet girl, you aren't too anything! You are absolutely beautiful just the way you are! You've been this pudgy since you were a baby. It's natural. And naturally amazing."
"Ah-"
"I mean it, Hae-un. Don't you EVER do anything to change the way you look. Not a single thing. If you ever even attempt anything that's physically altering, I will disown you. WE are a confident family." His tone was frighteningly deeper, and if she had one, his eyes were staring into the depths of her soul.
"Wha-"
"Ever. You are perfect. Do you understand me?"
"Y- Yes."
"Good." He kissed her forehead and smiled softly at her. "You are gorgeous, honey. Never forget that. Now, let's go get some ice cream, hm? Maybe watch that new movie with RuPaul?"
Hae-un gasped, "RuPaul has a new movie?!"
"Yep. Come on."
He was talking about plastic surgery, by the way. He's seen how people who were already beautiful get it and look downright atrocious. That's not happening in his family. And no, he would never disown any of his children, but would be really upset about them thinking they need surgery to look beautiful. They already are.
Like I said, he's also the goofiest. He'll balance a spoon with ice cream on it, stand on his nose, and let it hit his face. Just to make her feel better and laugh a little. As well as a few horrible celebrity impressions to crack her up.
Demon spawns do, in fact, teethe. But what they choose to munch on is chairs, their parents, or anything with a squishy enough or hard enough surface. Depending on the child, they want squishy or hard. No in between.
So, yeah, Eun-woo and Yu-na are chewing on chair legs when they have teething RINGS available to them. Ha-joon chooses to munch on his parents.
That also means they'll chew on anything that's moving. On a camping trip, Do-yoon caught a possum, Chae-won caught a raccoon, and Seo-jun caught fish in his mouth. None of the animals survived, but it was adorable! They were so proud of their catches. Jinu had to take pictures.
Little demon children 7 and below crawling over their parents like bugs or lemurs. They don't care. As long as their kids hold on with a good grip, it's fine.
Na-ri is getting demon zoomies and is jumping all over the furniture and running all over the house. And bouncing from wall to wall. Defying gravity as she gets more hyper.
This causes a chain reaction because then everybody else goes completely insane, too. Hopping off furniture and cakcling. Even Jinu joins in.
Demon kiddos do have tails and like hanging upside down in the trees. Ji-ho took a nap like that once. It took an hour to find him when he was just outside in the back like a possum.
They also like to pounce on their parents when they "least" expect it.
Ji-a thought Cho (the kids' babysitter, if you don't know) didn't know she was in the bottom cabinet. She did. Three-year-olds aren't good at being quiet. Especially when they have a tail that wips back and forth when they're happy. It thumped against the cabinet walls.
But ya gotta act surprised.
She jumped out at her leg and bit down. Softly, she wasn't trying to hurt her. Only show off her pouncing skills that Appa Mysty showed her.
"OH MY GOODNESS! Where on earth did you come from? Did you just pounce on me? Are you a pouncy baby?" Cho-rong picked her up and spun her around. Lots of tickles and kisses she received for being such a skilled huntress!
They eat anything. Literally anything. Basically like hobbits. That's the other reason the pantry and fridges (yes, they have three. There are 22 people in that house) are stacked to the brim. But like above, they don't need meat cooked to eat it. Romance once saw Kyung-mi taking a raw stake from the fridge to eat it. He had asked if she wanted it cooked, but she denied.
"If Tom can eat raw stake than I can too."
The adults eat raw meat too. Baby will literally take raw ribs from the fridge, already seasoned for flavor, and eat them. He didn't feel like cooking.
And they are also immune to a lot of things.
Jinu figured that out when he caught Do-yoon drinking bleach. The problem was that the bleach was new, so when Jinu snatched it away from him, the entire bottle was gone. When Jinu knows it shouldn't be! Do-yoon was fine. Didn't throw up or anything. In fact, he just burped.
Yu-na drank from a paint can. Completely fine.
Seo-jun decided to sneak away and climb up to the roof. Mystery had only seen him when he was five feet from the ground. He didn't catch him in time.
The boy landed on his feet. Legs and ankles are completely fine.
This is their house, by the way
Yeah, he fell from that high up.
After a particular incident involving Ah-rin slamming THROUGH the wall after having some intense zoomies...zoomies will now take place outside. Jinu can't keep paying people to fix child-shaped holes in doors and walls.
Oh yeah, Ty was sitting on the back patio watching the kids play. He was conversing with Mira and Cho about something. He looked over to see Min-seo eating the chalk. Something that is meant for the ground. And Ji-ho, who was with her and impressionable, took a bite. Hm, he didn't like it as much as MinMin did. Chalk must be for much more refined palettes.
Ty was torn between letting her or acknowledging that she has a human(?) stomach now. He settled with the latter.
"Can you PLEASE stop eating the chalk? That's for drawing, and you know it!"
Na-ri sometimes sneaks and eats grass. And mice when she finds them. Not rats. She's not that stupid, and she can tell the difference between mice and rats.
Flame hair is the only thing when demons get really fucking angry. C'mere, demon toddlers can get really fucking angry over the smallest things.
Kyung-mi was having a tantrum as she crawled up the wall. Her head was spinning like a poltergeist (oh right, they can do that too). The Saja Parents were just letting her wig out while also refusing to give in to her demand. Children in this house can only be spoiled with what they want when they behave.
The only problem was that the sprinkler went off. The kids were happy. Indoor water park! The adults...not so much.
Siiiighhhh. Children are not for the weak. Especially demonic ones.
Now that Gwi-Ma is dead, who rules the demon race?
Uh...still figuring that out tbh 😅
I don't know what to do exactly. The bad demons are for sure stuck back in Gwi-ma's realm. They are kinda just...yeah, stuck for now. Jelly is fine. He can leave and come back whenever he feels like it.
But he is not sharing that information with anybody else. I HC that Jelly is going between worlds at the moment. Working as a barista in the day, he goes back to the realm when his shift is over. Saving up money so he can get a place of his own.
Demons above the barrier can still poof back to Gwi-ma's realm if they want. It's just that the boys don't want to. And never will again.
Cho is sitting up in her room, brushing her hair and enjoying a relaxing, peaceful evening.
Not for long.
Her phone vibrates on the vanity beside her. Picking it up and seeing it was Rumi, she answered.
"Good evening, darling. What can I do for you?"
However, after listening for a few minutes, Cho's eyes grew wide in shock. "WHAT! ARE YOU SURE?!" Listening a bit longer, Cho nodded her head frantically, standing up and nearly knocking stool over. "Okay, okay, don't panic dear, just hold on! Help is coming! I'll get the boys!" She hung up, flung the phone on the bed, rocketed out of the room, and ran like a bat out of Hell. "JINU!!!"
She skidded to a halt in the living room where all six boys were watching TV.
Cho took another breath. "Well, you how Rumi has unlocked more of her demon powers?"
The boys nodded.
"And how she, Zoey and Mira have declared their undying live for one another?"
Again the boys nodded.
"It seems...tonight...as of precisely three minutes ago...um...well, as you know: when a jeoseung saja loves somebody very much, and the feeling is mutual, sometimes..."
She made a "poofing" gesture with both hands and formed a cradle with both arms, rocking them back and forth. She nodded her head while mouthing Rumi's name.
(I'll say Rumi doesn't know what's going on or why it's happening. To her, it just did).
After Romance finished grabbing as many supplies as humanely possible. He put them all in a pink baby tub and a blue baby tub. Yes, there are two. He was panicking, okay?!
After that, he nearly jumped into the car. Jinu barely even let him close the door before he sped off to the girls' tower. Ooooh, she has to be freaking out so much right now!
"Baby, take my phone! Text Rumi!"
Baby didn't need to be told twice; he took the phone from Jinu's pocket, after Jinu had to uncomfortably lift himself so he could get it, and unlocked his phone.
SoAnnoying: Don't worry, we're coming! Everything is going to be okay!"
The boys drove like lightning to Huntrix Tower, somehow by the grace of the gods avoiding crashing.
Fuck but they never saw this coming, not by a long shot. They didn't even know that half demons could create poofies, not that there were very many!
After what felt like an eternity they arrived at the Huntrix Tower parking garage. They shot out of the car and made their way into the lobby and straight to the Huntrix private elevator, Jinu armed with the spare key card Rumi had given him for emergencies. This was definitely one!
Thankfully they didn't have to use Cho's glamour altering technique since the doorman, security and receptionist were all under contract to practice absolute discretion concerning celebrity visitors.
They all squeeze into the elevator, nerves all over the place.
"I hope they're okay! And the new little one. Poofies can arrive just about anywhere." Ty hugged himself as an attempt to calm down.
"Everyone, breathe. All this energy will more than likely upset the child and certainly won't help Rumi." Mystery spoke calmly. He will admit his heart beat was a little fast, but he was trying to keep things cool.
"How can we be calm right now?!" Romance shrieked, "Out of all these things. All the things to happen!"
He adjusted his hold on the tubs. The blue one was about to fall off the pink one before Jinu grabbed it to help. "I know...But I agree with Myst about this one."
Baby was silent as he watched the elevator numbers go up. Counting the seconds until they meet the new member of the family. Is it a girl or a boy? Who do they look like? Oh, jeez, he can feel himself getting giddy.
Abby was tapping his foot nervously. He couldn't look at the numbers. That would make him more antsy than he already was. "Come on...come on!"
They practically shot out of the elevator like a cannonball into the girls' living area. The tension in the air was thick enough to cut with a knife.
They saw the girls huddled together on the large white sectional, still in their PJs. They looked absolutely frazzled, eyes wide with shock. In Rumi's arms was a pale blue towel wrapped around something unseen. However, the boys did notice it moving slightly.
They looked up in unison. Rumi opened and closed her mouth like a fish but could manage any words.
"Guys! What's happening!" Zoey cried, her large eyes moistening with tears.
"Did you do this?!" Mira growled, not really accusingly, just scared. "Is this a sick joke?! If it is, I swear to any god that'll listen-"
"Mira, stop!" Rumi finally uttered, her voice hoarse from earlier. "They didn't do anything! Just calm down please!"
"It's a poofy! It-" Jinu pinched the bridge of his nose, "It's...it's a thing that happens. Mostly to Jeosung Saja, like us. We don't know why. It just happens! But the only way it can is through a strong bond." He explained
"Can...can we see them?" Romance asked, his tone ever so slightly above a whisper. He set the tub down and took a small, hesitant step forward.
"Are they hurt? Any bruising?" Abby asked, his head lifting a bit to try and see anything.
Mystery sniffed the air and caught a scent. Like a combination of Zoey, Mira, and Rumi. It was small but still perceptible.
"I brought some milk with me, just in case they might be hungry," Ty whispered, though now he's sure the bottle is a bit too big.
"Ask us all the questions you want. We'll try our best to answer them."
Zoey, Rumi, and Mira looked at one another, then the boys. Finally, Rumi shifted the bundle in her arms so that they could see what lay inside.
Inside, was an absolutely baby girl, perfectly plump cheeked and healthy. She fidgeted and made the typical baby whimpers and gurgles.
She had a head of soft, downy hair colored a rich orchid purple-pink, and when she opened her eyes just slightly, the boys could see that they were a warm amber. Her skin was pale, almost the color of snow.
What was the most shocking of all was that she was tiny, no bigger than a soda can! Rumi had to be extra careful that the towel didn't completely smother her.
When Mystery sniffed the air again, he realized that the baby's blood smelled of both Rumi and Mira. The baby was Rumi and Mira's biological daughter!
(ooc: I think it should only be between two girls right now as trying to combine all three into one daughter is a little difficult. Rumi and Zoey will eventually have one later)
Romance's shoulders relaxed as he put his hand to his heart again, "Awe...she's precious. And okay, she's okay."
"Before you ask. It's normal for...well, 'Poofy' kids to be small like this. Seeing as they have nothing to grow bigger inside of, like a stomach/womb or whateva, they come out like this." Baby explained as he observed the chubby little munckin. The nerves in his body are dissipating as well. "She's alright. In about...five months, give or take, she'll be the size of a normal baby. Or bigger. Hae-un and Ji-a were big babies."
The other demon males relaxed, too. Nothing to be scared of or worried about. Well, besides the obvious.
"I know this is...a lot to deal with right now. It's better to verbalize how you feel and what you're thinking. Rumi, how about you go first? If you want to." Abby suggested as he looked at her. His gaze was soft and kind.
Rumi held her daughter closer. "I just...I don't know how to feel, that's the thing! I mean, don't get me wrong, what happened is amazing, but I also feel like I messed up! That because of me, we're in a situation neither of you asked for or were even prepared for! I don't know how I should feel about this!"
"Rumi, you didn't mess up! You couldn't have known," Mira reassured her, her arm protectively around her girlfriend's shoulder.
Zoey snuggled up to Rumi's other side, placing one hand under the baby to help support her. "Yeah, Rumi! Don't be sad. We'll figure this out."
Jinu smiled at how they comforted her. It's great that she has support. "There is nothing you need to blame yourself for. It's just...genetics. You can't fix it, nor should you be upset about it. Now, Mira, then Zoey, how do you feel? You can say what you want because your feelings matter too."
Romance couldn't help but make a small, silly face at the girl. Though she could more than likely barely see anything at the moment. Ty had poofed back home to find a smaller bottle and filled it with milk. He then poofed back and kept it securely in his hand. The baby isn't crying yet, so he'll hold off on feeding her for now.
The others had settled on the couch. There's no way they could keep standing up after all that energy came crashing down.
Zoey offered a small reassuring smile. "I think it's exciting!" She exclaimed happily, hopping with that enthusiastic, lovable energy that only she could generate. "How many people can say they get a magic baby that "poofed" outta nowhere!"
Her infectious energy made everybody else smile. If anybody could light up a nervous situation, it's Zoey.
"Okay, good. Now, Mira. If you wish to tell." Jinu gestured his hand toward her.
Romance had set the rather large tub (basically a gift basket put together in a frenzy) on the table. No need for the boy one anymore. There's everything they could need in that thing.
Before Mira could answer, the baby started to whine a little bit. Ty instantly sat up to walk over to Rumi, "Here, you should get the privilege of feeding her first," He softly said.
He started humming a low tune as he backed away to sit next to Abby. Most of them recognized it as Harpy Hare. A lullaby that always got their kids to calm down. It was an instinctual reaction.
Rumi positioned the bottle's nipple over the baby's hungry mouth, and she latched on eagerly, the loud sounds of sucking echoing in the room as the baby happily drank the milk.
Mira sighed, running a finger through her daughter's hair. "I won't lie and say I'm not freaking out on the inside. But, I also know we've been through a lot more than this without folding under pressure. Hell, we even iced Gwi-Ma himself. After that, motherhood shouldn't be that much harder. It's obviously gonna take time to get used to this, but I know we can do it!"
She turned to look at her two lovers, the two young women who filled her life with absolute joy. "I don't know what the future's gonna bring, but I am sure of us." She paused to look at her tiny baby. "All of us."
They all thought about it. That is something to think about. After a couple more seconds, Mystery was the one to speak first.
"Maybe...she won't be as strong? Possibly not able to shapeshift or climb walls all that well. But still, we don't know how weak or strong demon genes are. She may be just as strong as her eomma. Only time will tell, really." He shrugged while pulling his hair back in a bun. He's alright with letting the girls see his face.
"Either way, we'll help as much as we can. Rumi, we're sure you don't really know how to be a demon quite well, so maybe we can teach you? Along the way, we'll help you with all the hard parts of raising a demon child."
"The biting when they have fangs coming in."
"The poltiergiest head spins when having a tantrum."
"Guess we might need protective gear then," Zoey giggled good-naturedly while everyone else chuckled.
"What I'm wondering is," Mira began, looking back down at the baby, "is if Rumi can create these "poofies", does that mean that, at any given time, one might pop up? Can she control it?"
Zoey's eyes nearly popped out as her head suddenly looked all around the room, her hands outstretched carefully as if expecting a multitude of poofies to just appear out of thin air and she'd need to catch them.
Ty let out a light laugh at Zoey's actions before explaining, "Seeing as Rumi is the demon here, she should be able to control when they pop out now. It's all a matter of intent. It used to not be that way, but don't worry, all she needs is clear intent now. That little lady is more than likely the 'cause of you confessing to each other. A surprise baby! Demon bonds can be very, supernaturally odd and strong."
Mystery put a finger on his chin in thought, "Her existence is a clear show of how powerful Rumi is."
Before Rumi could ask more, the baby released her grip on the bottle's nipple, made a weird little face then...she burped out a stream of purple demonic flames.
Thankfully, everyone was able to dodge as it shot up and dispersed in the air.
The baby scrunched up her cute little nose for settling back down to get comfortable. Once she was sure they were all safe, Rumi held the infant to her chest and patted her back to soothe her.
"WOWZER!!" Zoey shrieked joyfully, her eyes lighting up in excitement. "That was so cool!"
"My baby girl's a firecracker!" Mira grinned in satisfaction, looking every bit the proud mother. "Nice!"
"DAYUM!!" Baby shouted in shock and awe before chuckling, "Forgot to mention that. Fire burps are a thing, too."
Romance laughed a little bit, "Goodness gracious. Ours didn't start that until they were three months old!"
"Talk about heartburn." Abby joked with a nod
Jinu huffed with a smile before he was deep in thought, "Hmm, I'm sure you guys may need a crib-"
"Already searching. Seeing as she's so tiny, I'll get you guys a bassinet. A bassinet for now and a crib for when she's a little older. Take it as a baby shower gift! Romance already brought a hoard of stuff." Ty typed on his phone before placing an order, "It won't arrive now, but should be here in the morning!"
Romance giggled, "Guilty. I panicked."
"I think the load of diapers you brought is perhaps too big for her. Girls, give me a moment." Mystery poofed back into the Saja home.
"He's the crafty type, so if anyone can make tiny diapers, it's him."
Jinu grabbed the box of tissues on the table and handed them to her. "And we'll always be here to help. Raising kids is...a lot. We'd love nothing more than to help make things a little easier for you."
"Anytime you need advice, just come to us! The first piece I can give you is don't be too close to her face after she eats. As you can see, that won't be a very good idea. Or perhaps burp her 5 to ten minutes after she's done eating. Just so the fire can come out a little quicker."
"Oh! That reminded me, she may need mittens for her hands. Rumi, can you check them for me? She might not have claws yet, but they'll still come in handy." Baby pointed at the tiny devil with a smile. He was still impressed by the fire show earlier.
"I'll text Mystery to see if he can make some. I'll order some for bigger babies, too."
"When she's a little older, I can give you some puree recipes. Ji-woo and Eun-woo love them. Or I can share them now, whichever you prefer." Abby shrugged with a soft smile. Already giddy about a new baby around.
Demons that aren't heartless love babies. They have an instinct to adore, smother with love, and protect. It's the same as humans but a little stronger. He's just holding himself back because she's so tiny and not she's not his baby. (He'll smother his babies in kisses later)
"Trust me, we'll need ALL the help we can get," Zoey giggled as she began inspecting the Baby for any signs of claws, fangs, horns, barbs and a tail. But, aside from her hair, size and fire breathing, there was nothing else out of the ordinary. For now at least.
Mira stroked the baby's cheek. "You know, Rumi, if we need to take added time off to iron out some details with the baby, we should. I mean, we're already on a three month break. If we need to push it another three months, or even take a year long hiatus, we can-"
"If we disappear for that long, the public will get suspicious though. We've never been out of sight for that long." Rumi's eyes widened as she suddenly realized, "Damn! What'll we do about the fans? How will we even explain a sudden baby?! I don't want to hide her but I don't want to expose her to like that."
Baby's face got serious, "Rumi, listen to me closely...the public can go fuck themselves. The only thing that matters right now and always is her. Take as much time off as you need!"
Abby scratched the back of his neck, his usual trait to show he's thinking, "She...should be kept secret for as long as you can allow. She's not old enough to consent to exposure."
"Abs is right, let's just take things slowly. You are Huntr/x. All the fans that respect you should be okay with you being on Hiatus as long as you need to be. They shouldn't have to know the reason."
Romance gasped before clapping, "How about Byul? It means star!"
"Or Dayoung? It means flower or sunlight. Like the sunlight...sisters," Ty tried to hide his wince with a smile. Rumi's mom was a sunlight sister member. He wasn't entirely sure if he was opening a wound or not.
"Lee-seo could be a good choice. It means harmony or joy." Jinu suggested.
"Hwa-youn?. To sum it up, it means blazing, radiant flower. And she sure is a blazer."
The Huntrix girls turned to look at each other. "To be perfectly honest, I like Hwa-young the best. The idea of using a name that uses both a flower and fire to symbolize beauty and courage is poetic."
"I agree," replied Mira with a nod of her head. "Plus, like Baby said, she puts on one helluva light show. It fits her."
Zoey gasped eagerly "It's like you guys totally got inside my brain cuz I was so gonna say that! She's our little fire flower! It's too perfect!"
With a nod in each other's direction, they turned to gaze at the expectant faces of the Saja Boys.
We never talked about how Jinu died. How about he was poisoned by another jealous court musician after getting too popular with the king?
That actually seems pretty good. I can go with that!
What's morbidly funny is that's what Romance did to plenty of musicians. So, after he was told by Jinu what had happened to him. He was mentally like this
And may or may not have been truthful about his own life. He didn't lie. He just made sure to leave those parts out.
Baby is ambidextrous (he drank hot sauce with his right hand during Spicy Challenge, and then from a water bottle with his left hand during the fan event in the movie. Just my theory)
It's true. It's just something that happened over my human life. My parents were ambidextrous, too.
ya know, Ember bringing up the idea of Jinu being potentially poisoned brings up a truly screwed-up idea/potential scenario when you honestly think about it.
This is just a guess, but in the movie, at least to me, it seems that in order to OFFICIATE a deal with Gwi-ma when your a human, you basically make a deal, supposedly DIE and then get reborn as a demon under Gwi-Ma's control if you don't turn into a demon by having your soul sucked out in the first place.
NOW IF THAT IS THE CASE then that means that all the Saja had to have died someway or another. And with thinking about that
this may be a little fucked up,
but imagine IF Jinu actually died via poisoning and not even long after he even GOT to the palace in the first place
Because honestly thinking about it for a sec, Gwi-ma basically KEPT his end of the deal; he GAVE Jinu what he wanted (with the exception of including his family in on it of course) but that doesn't technically stop what happens AFTERWARDS as a RESULT of the deal itself.
Basically a "You got what you wanted. But you lost what you had" sorta thing- there was NEVER a guarantee that Jinu's new hosts would have accepted him fully. I mean a while ago prior, those upper class were willing to let him and his family starve to death because they were lower class and plus there HAS been MANY tales and stories about certain upper class taking it upon themselves to take out and rid themselves of those who they believe didn't deserve such prestige, who believed that such were beneath them.
So with that in mind can you imagine how tragically fucked up it would have been for Jinu to have died regardless ANYWAYS simply because some upper-class shlep didn't like him mingling about with them and had him poisoned, all the while Jinu was depressed about leaving his family behind and unaware of it all going on in the background.
or perhaps not even caring
Like picture Jinu, taken out by the ONE THING he wanted so desperately to give his family the most above all, what he was willing to give his soul for
All he wanted was something to eat
(First of all, I love your work. I'm so happy to get an ask from you)
And secondly...why must you hurt me so?
That's actually so fucking sad. Brodie just wanted his family to eat, only for them to be tossed out, and him to be poisoned by the one thing he wanted his family to have. FOOD.
Damn, that really is tragically fucked up.
I imagine he wasn't even in that place for longer than a year. Hell, probably not even above six months. His mother and sister were in there for even less amount of time.
Damn...
Oh! I remember seeing this post on TikTok.
This makes the situation so much fucking worse because his sister and mother were probably treated like crap even more. Or punished by the king. God, that hurts.
Also, he basically blames himself for something he couldn't have been able to control, even if he wanted to.
Here's what I think the boys are in the band and what they contribute:
Jinu- Main vocalist, eldest, leader, and face of the group
Abby- Main dancer, lead rapper, visual
Romance- Lead dancer, vocalist, visual
Mystery- Lead vocalist, dancer
Baby- Main rapper, maknae, sub vocalist & dancer
They also:
Jinu- Lyricist, composer, producer, helps Ty with the marketing side of things
Abby- Choreographer, fitness instructor, I also believe he helps Ty with the budget and finances due to his experience running his family farm (hc: Abby is good with money and accounting)
Romance- Lyricist, beauty specialist, looks through fan mail and helps draft responses
Mystery- Composer (hc: Mystery can play piano)
Baby- Lyricist, co-producer, also handles mixing and recording
Ty- Manager, PR specialist, marketing, handles business and accounting with help from Jinu and Abby, also runs the Saja Boys Internet fan site
Stop bein' better at thinking things out than me
But seriously, this is amazing!! It's going to the canon list! Also, goes to show how much they do day in and day out.
Jinu - Omg it's worse than we thought, I made emo!!!
Abby - Kidcore (this man loves colors)
Mystery - Trad goth (any trad goths on here please correct me if the images are wrong)
(Abby and Myst were inspired by this art
Romance - Fancy lolita??? (with a lil victorian)
Baby - Whatever the hell this is
Tysoo - Either angelcore or pastel goth. No in between
Imagine the whipflash the kids got when their parents looked one way the day before and completely different the next. Ty-soo, not so much, but the pastel goth thing was new.
