Let's make it not two weeks before the Idol Awards but two months, at least, so that Rumi and Jinu have more time to get to know each other.
Their first meeting after the bathhouse battle stays the same but then they start accidentally (or not) bumping into each other: at a boba tea shop, at an afterparty, or maybe fans demand a show starring Huntrix and the Saja Boys, so the girls reluctantly give in (Happy faaaaans, happy Hooooonmoon✨)
Eventually, Rumi responds to Jinu's invitations sent via Derpy. They meet, they walk, they talk, and they heal, spending time together. One day Jinu invites Rumi to the aquarium and yeah, — in the bluish light of the water, with an orca as a witness, — they finally kiss 💋 And some meetings later, they start having sex.
I want to specify that in my version Rumi's patterns can only be seen by hunters and demons, which is why I imagine she has some experience (with no need to hide the patterns from human guys), maybe from her trainee years😉 And Jinu is a virgin cause I want so😂
But honestly, he's like 400-something years old, a man from the Joseon era, so I see him as the one who proposes first and gets the girl into bed later. I'm 100% sure his brain short-circuits several times due to his more modest (❓) upbringing.
Plus, we haven't seen any pretty demonesses so far, and we don't know how often Jinu could leave the Underworld throughout these 400 years. AND I bet he was so consumed by his shame that he didn't think much about women — before he met Rumi, because MY GIRL IS EVERYONE'S TYPE 💅
Then the Idol Awards happen. Jinu sacrifices himself for her, «What It Sounds Like» seals the Honmoon, people are saved, but Rumi is devastated. She tells the girls the story behind her patterns but keeps the «Jinu chapter» to herself. They wouldn't understand, she thinks.
In the following weeks, she barely leaves her room, barely eats, and barely sleeps because of never-ending nightmares about the Idol Awards. She's already tired, so she doesn't pay much attention to the soreness in her muscles and the heaviness in her limbs at first, but then she starts feeling nauseous too. One day she even faints during rehearsal. Mira, Zoey, and Bobby are worried. They want to take her to the doctor, but Rumi refuses. That same evening she gets a notification from an app that she's late and it clicks:
It's not easy to sneak out to buy a test while being constantly monitored by her overprotective friends, but she manages. She makes up an excuse about craving banana milk at 12 a.m. and goes to the 24-hour pharmacy. She forgets to get the milk, by the way, but the girls pass out on the couch, so they never notice.
It's the longest five minutes of her life. When the alarm goes off, Rumi flinches so hard she rattles the beauty bottles on the counter. Two lines. All three tests are positive. She's on the verge of tears. She's so screwed. An idol-single mother? Her career is doomed. And her friends' careers are at stake too. Not to mention that she's a half-demon carrying a demon's child... Perhaps, this time Celine will fulfill her request?🤔
Derpy and Sussie appear from a portal in the floor. The tiger seems to sense the change. He sniffs at her lower abdomen and then leans his forehead against it. Rumi presses a palm to her mouth to muffle her cries.
She can't keep the baby, no matter how much she wishes to, so she spends the next couple days looking through clinic websites — the ones on the outskirts of the city to minimize the chances of her being recognized. She finds one that guarantees total anonymity and makes an appointment in a day.
She leaves the penthouse early in the morning before Mira wakes up. Zoey is a deep-sleeper, plus her sleep schedule is a mess. However, a loud crash from Rumi's room gets them both up and ready to fight whatever is threatening her. They don't find her, though. They find nothing but a knocked-over chair and an open laptop with «abortion clinics» at the top of the search history.
Getting the address of the one Rumi recently looked through and made an appointment at, they rush there as fast as they can, breaking a dozen traffic rules. They find Rumi crying on a bench in the corridor. The girls hug her, asking how she's feeling and why she didn't tell them. She shouldn't have gone through this alone. Embarrassed, she admits that she couldn't do it.
They grab her and go back home where Rumi finally tells them the whole truth about her relationships with Jinu. Mira is mad because they agreed to no more lies (and a little because her friend had an affair with a demon of all people‼️). Uncertain, Zoey asks what her plan is now, and Rumi panics again. She doesn't want to ruin their lives, but she also can't bring herself to get rid of this last piece of Jinu...
Celine and Bobby find out about the baby during an executive meeting, cause let's be real: if Rumi wants to keep it a secret for as long as possible, she needs their crew. Her mentor and manager are speechless, the executives are angry. They demand names, propose solutions, pressure her, but Rumi makes it clear that the baby's father's name will never be revealed and the only thing she needs is time. Time to carry it, give birth, and heal afterward.
The pregnancy itself is kind to her. Morning sickness passes after the third month and she almost doesn't have weird cravings or mood swings. Only her lower back is killing her more and more as her due date approaches.
Baby April 에이프릴*️⃣ is born on the night of April 4*️⃣*️⃣. Purple-haired and red-cheeked, she immediately has everyone wrapped around her tiny finger. Little Aries like her auntie Mira ♈, and her mommy's copy. Except for the nose, that feature is definitely Jinu's. Her body is completely covered with thin purple patterns, and when she opens her eyes for the first time, everyone holds their breath because her left iris is gold.
Their PR team makes a statement in the morning, and the news about another K-pop princess's birth blows up the minds of fans around the globe. Of course there are haters claiming that Rumi ruined her own appearance and betrayed her followers and bandmates, but mostly people are shocked. And when it wears off, there are tons of happy comments under Rumi's and Huntrix's social media posts.
Growing up, April gives someone a heart attack almost every day — be it fearlessly climbing the furniture, biting electrical cables, or teleporting to God knows where. She's a cute little menace that nobody but Rumi can say no to, and Derpy and Sussie are her troublemaking buddies.
Zoey teaches her skateboarding and some basic English. Mira teaches her dancing and cooking — she most definitely won't set the kitchen on fire. And Rumi teaches her plenty of things like singing, drawing, playing the guitar, or doing her hair.
Unlike her mother, April is not chosen by the Honmoon to be the next hunter, and Rumi is genuinely happy about it. Her girl has a chance to live a normal life without being dragged into deadly battles with demons, as well as the insane and cruel industry.
Rumi's only regret is that April will never know her father, whose blue-and-purple bracelet has decorated her right wrist since the day she came into the world...

Okay, so... I know that some people don't like this cliché-cliché trop where the guy dies and then the girl finds out she's pregnant...🫣
But I do, so, please, don't hate me if you don't🙏Just needed to get this out of my mind🤷♀
*️⃣ yes, April born in April, in Korean month April is Sa-wol 사월, so I guess we're fine here😜
*️⃣*️⃣ also in Korea number 4 sounds similar to the word «death», so why not to double it😁
P.S. yeah, collage contains AI pictures, don't hate me for them eather, please🥺
