Rumi x Jinu Daughter Short Fic - Kpop Demon Hunters
=================================
Somi was never one to back down from a fight. Her parents didn't raise her to be a coward.
So when she saw some of the older children bullying a kid from her class, she couldn't help but step in and defend him.
- Stop! Leave him alone. Right. Now. - She says angrily.
The tallest guy looks at Somi with mockery in his eyes.
- And what if I don't want to?
- Don't make such a dumb decision.
- Huh, you think that just because your parents are famous you're better than everyone else?
The whole entire country of Korea knew her parents. How could they not? They were part of the biggest kpop girl group and boy group in the whole entire world. Rumi was a part of the HUNTRIX, and after the group disbanded she became a very successful soloist and later owner of her own label, where Mira works as choreographer and Zoey as a producer and songwriter.
Jinu was a former member of the Saja Boys. After they disbanded, he became a full time actor and never stopped ever since, still being the best paid actor in South Korea.
They dated in secret for years and made it public once they were sure most of their fans would be supportive of it. Then Jinu proposed, Rumi said yes, they got married and now here we are.
- No, I don't think I'm better than anyone else. But I AM sure that I'm better than you.
He had enough of that little girl. She was so short. What could she possibly do against five guys?
They release their old victim and lock eyes with their new-found target, slowly approaching her.
The moment the five older boys began circling her like wolves, Somi tightened her stance. She didn’t flinch. Her fists curled instinctively at her sides, feet firmly planted on the hallway where the students watching didn't even blink, waiting for the next move like they were watching a movie or a boxing match.
- Oh yeah? So what are you going to do now, princess? Sing us to death? - The one that looked the oldest scoffed.
Before the guy could blink, she slammed her palm into his nose with a loud *crack*. He stumbled back, howling in pain as blood gushed down his face and he collides against the wall, falling immediately. The others froze, stunned — but only for a fraction of seconds.
The second boy lunged at her, but she ducked low and swept his legs out from under him just like her parents taught her. Years of taekwondo and hapkido lessons with them surely paid off. He hit the ground with a loud groan.
Number three came at her swinging wildly, clearly more muscle than brain. Somi sidestepped effortlessly and delivered a hard elbow to his ribs, followed by a jab to the throat. He dropped to his knees, coughing violently.
Somi gave him a warning look that said “Walk away.”
She met him halfway, spinning into a flying back kick that nailed right in the middle of his stomach. He doubled over with a huge scream, dropping like a sack of rice.
The fifth and final boy froze in place. His friends were writhing and agonizing on the ground around him. He looked at her with pure and sheer fear.
She tilted her head, her golden amber eyes burning like she wanted for more, and her long black hair still in a perfectly aligned braid, like she barely made effort at all.
- Still think I can’t take you?
Somi straightened her back, breathing hard, heart pounding — but her face remained stoic and unbothered. She wasn't even sweating. The little crowd of students that was formed started to clap, and the boy who had been bullied earlier stared at her with wide eyes, wiping away tears.
- Are you okay? she asked him gently, brushing dust off her clothes.
He nodded slowly, still in awe.
- Y-You’re like… a superhero. - He compliments her.
Somi gave him a tiny smile, but before she could say anything else, the school's headmaster appeared.
And Somi knew she was going to be in trouble.
The four guys Somi knocked out were taken to the infirmary. Right now, Somi is at the outside of the headmaster's office, listening through the door as her parents have a serious conversation with the headmaster.
- I called both of you here today because your daughter fought with four students.
- What? Why? What happened? - Rumi asked.
- They were bullying one of her classmates, and she intervened.
- That's my girl. Bet she won. - Jinu commented, and Somi giggled discreetly.
- Jinu! - Rumi gives him a little punch on his shoulder. - She did win though, right?
The headmaster looks at them both, baffled.
Rumi clears her throat and say.
- Mr. Hong, we assure you our daughter wouldn't pick up a fight for no reason. - Rumi explains.
- I am aware. She explained to me the situation. Somi is very well liked among her peers and she was just trying to defend one of her classmates that was being bullied. And they will be punished accordingly as bullying is intolerable at our esteemed institution. However, so is violence.
- I'm sure she was just standing up for herself and the integrity of her classmate. I don't see a problem with that.
And that was Jinu. He supported his daughter's rights and wrongs.
- I understand. However, we do not believe violence is the best solution. We advised your daughter to help by immediately reporting it to the school's officials. I can see that Somi has a great sense of justice...
- She takes after her. - Jinu says and points at Rumi, who smiles and rolls her eyes playfully.
- But still I need her to understand that there are some matters she can't take into her own hands. - The headmaster completes.
The conversation continues until the headmaster informs Rumi and Jinu that Somi will be suspend for a day and return to school the day after tomorrow.
The door unexpectedly opens and reveals Somi spying.
- Now that, right here, she takes after you. - Rumi points out while looking at Jinu with a knowing gaze, while Jinu just nods in agreement with an amused grin.
- Hi mom. Hi dad. - Somi says, in the most innocent way she could.
- We'll talk when we get home. - Rumi says and if Somi wasn't half demon, she'd be sure her soul would have left her body at that exact moment.
But she didn't need to wait until they got home. As soon as they got in the car and Jinu started driving, Rumi asked:
- Really Somi? Why did you do that? You could have gotten hurt! Fighting is dangerous!
- Former Demon Hunter. - Rumi emphasizes. - You know better than anyone that we retired. For your safety.
- I'm sorry, but I just couldn't stay still and do nothing. I know what you guys are thinking, and no, I did not use my powers, and no, nobody saw my demon marks. That's why I use jackets for!
- Are you sure? - Jinu asks.
- Yes. I was careful, okay? If I didn't teach those guys a lesson, they would never stop.
- We know you were only doing what you thought was right, but please, try to avoid it next time, okay? Only use self-defense techniques when there's truly no other way out. In that case, you could have just took your classmate out of there and go with him to the headmaster's office to tell him the situation.
- I... - Somi pauses, trying to come up with something, but she got nothing. - Didn't think about it. - She admits defeat.
- Exactly. We are proud that you're not afraid to stand up for someone who needs help, but please, promise us you'll be less impulsive next time, okay?
The car stays silent for a moment until Jinu says:
- Now tell us how the fight went.
- Jinu!!! - Rumi calls him out.
- What? Come on, I know you're curious about that, too.
Rumi shakes her head but doesn't deny the allegations. Somi giggles and describes with details how it all went down to her parents.
- Flying kick right to the belly, great. Simple but very effective. One of my favorites. I used that move on your dad a couple of times. - Rumi says, teasing Jinu.
- It was more than just "a couple of times" actually. - Jinu answers. - Your moves were pretty predictable back there. Even more than they are now. - He smirks.
- Oh yeah? My moves were predictable, yet somehow, a certain demon fell for them every single time.
- On purpose. Just to make you feel better.
- Okay, honey, keep telling yourself that.
The family laughs. If there's something that the years never changed about Rumi and Jinu's relationship, was the banter.
Rumi, Jinu and Somi arrive home and see their tiger on the couch, with their crow on his typical spot, the tiger's head.
The tiger and the crow look at her, confused by seeing her home from school earlier.
- I've had a fight at school today.
She sits on the couch next to them and begins to tell the story, while they listen attentively.
Rumi and Jinu just observe the situation, with smiles on their faces.
- That she takes after both of us. - Jinu comments.
- Definitely. - Rumi agrees.
- And yeah, now I'm suspended, and I'll be able to spend the rest of today and tomorrow doing whatever I want, including spending time with you guys! - Somi says, excited.
- Spend the rest of today and tomorrow studying, you mean.
- Ah, but I wanted to go to the label with you today. To see auntie Mira and auntie Zoey. And go to set with dad tomorrow. And play with the boys in the evening.
- Okay, fine. But you'll also study.
- Yes!! Thanks mom. I'll go get changed.
Somi quickly runs up the stairs. After a couple of minutes, she comes back wearing a jacket, jewelry and boots like the ones Rumi wore in her HUNTRIX days, with a dress in pastel pink like the clothes her dad used to wear when he was a member of the Saja Boys.
She takes after both of them, after all.
