    Summary

    It was ridiculous, seeing it in this environment, something soft and plush in a place that served expensive wine, but Mira had chosen it deliberately. Because Rumi loved teddy bears in a way she tried to pretend she didn’t, because Mira had seen the way Rumi’s fingers found the keychain in her bag when she was anxious, because Mira had stitched the first bear back together years ago and had never stopped thinking about what it meant.

    Or some of the Teddy Bears Mira gifted Rumi, and the one Rumi gifted Mira.

    Summary

    Mira knew her eyesight was bad—legendarily bad. The kind that made her squint at subtitles from two feet away and made Zoey still tease her for mistaking a trash can for a demon once. Normally, it didn’t bother her. She had her contacts for stage lights, her glasses for everything else.

    But here? Here, there was no bright stage LEDs—just oppressive darkness and faint mechanical groans from the props around them. She had, by every measurable standard, enormously miscalculated this entire situation.

    Huntr/x attends a Halloween party, and Mira convinces Rumi to enter the haunted house. Chaos ensues.

    Summary

    “Okay,” she muttered to herself. “Then we just have to fix this.”

    Probably thinking Mira would have dropped the subject by now—either due to lack of interest or pity for Rumi—Rumi glanced up warily. “Fix what?”

    Mira met her eyes, a little too sure of herself for someone about to propose something utterly idiotic. “Your first kiss,” she said. “We’re not letting Chungmuro steal it from you.”

    Seasoned actress Sung Mira is casted as romantic lead to Ryu Rumi's main character. But there is a tiny problem: Rumi has never kissed anyone before.

    Leave it to Mira to try and fix it.

    Summary

    Rumi should have paid closer attention to the flyer.

    In her defense, the words partner yoga had been bold and centered in a cute font. She hadn’t lingered on the little hearts scattered across the border, or the tagline promising connection, intimacy, and balance for couples. No — she had seen the word partner, thought of Mira, who happened to like Yoga a lot, and immediately texted her before she could talk herself out of it.

    A chance to do something together outside work. An opportunity to laugh, spend well-deserved time together, maybe even a chance for Rumi to respectfully ogle a little at how athletic Mira was—just to nurse the gigantic, embarrassing, fat crush she’d been dragging around like a ball and chain for years.

    It had seemed like a great idea.

    Until now.

    Rumi accidentally invites Mira to a couples yoga class. Chaos ensues, but it all works out in the end.

    Summary

    Rumi’s mind wanders, desperate for a change of subject. Her gaze lands on the two women who’ve been repeatedly plaguing her mind ever since she saw them step out of the limousine. Mira grins and sips on her drink, listening intently to whatever Zoey’s saying, the shorter girl gesticulating her hands wildly in the air. An ache settles in Rumi’s sternum, and that thought, that possibility—the possibility that this show can actually work—rattles through her skull.

    “Hey, Celine?” she starts, not looking away from the view ahead of her. “I know it’s unconventional, but can I give out two First Impression Roses?”

    Celine considers her words and follows her gaze. She presses her lips into a thin line, then she shrugs in acceptance. “Sure. After all, you’re the Bachelorette.”
