Summary
She has always put up with MasterChef only to spend quality time with Zoey, but when chef Mira Kang appears on screen as a special guest, Rumi may change her mind about that damned tv show.
The crush is instant and burning, like a steak on the grill, and it sends Rumi deep into a spiral of burner accounts and unexpected “passion” for cooking: her Pressure Test begins when Celine, her mother and producer, hires the very chef she's obsessed with as their new, exclusive private chef.Bookmarked by BlackWoodIII

Summary
Rumi Ryu, fresh out of an emotionally and physically abusive relationship, is finally ready to move out of her aunt’s house and into her own space. She settles on a small apartment building in a quiet part of Seoul, where she can see herself flourishing, hopefully.
Mira Kang and Zoey Cho have lived in the building for ages now and haven't had a neighbor in months. Probably because the rent price was outrageous, but they’re able to afford it together. When a mysterious, quiet and heavily guarded purple-haired stranger moves in next door, Zoey immediately begins “operation befriend the neighbor”. Mira is just along for the ride.Or: shy, quiet Rumi moves into the apartment next to Mira and Zoey. Love and chaos (good and bad) ensue.
Title from Alessia Cara’s song Scars to Your Beautiful, because I couldn’t think of anything else. -

Summary
Celine tried to meet Mira’s gaze, but couldn’t force herself to. She instead averted her eyes, staring at the floor. She could feel the hunter’s stare boring right through her soul.
“Yes,” she finally whispered. “Rumi has patterns. But she is not a demon.”
“Then you’re going to explain everything, right now, or I walk. And when I tell Zoey, she will too. You know she will.”
Celine let the silence hang for just a moment before solemnly nodding in agreement. “If we’re going to have this conversation now, I’m going to need a drink first. And Zoey should be here."
Or:
Mira finds out about Rumi's patterns prior to the Huntr/x world tour, and confronts Celine about it. Secrets and feelings are revealed, and love lights the way.

Summary
The yellow bomber jacket hit first — so bold it made the drab office look even duller. Then her hair: a thick braid of deep violet, heavy enough to swing like a rope, brushing against her ankle with every step. Her dark eyes swept the room, steady, unhurried.
Orryn rose immediately, lips curling back, a snarl vibrating his chest.
She didn’t flinch. If anything, her gaze flicked toward him with quiet amusement, like she’d expected it. That slight upward pull of her mouth only stoked his growl further.
Mira tightened her grip on his ruff. “Sorry,” she said quickly. “He doesn’t usually—”
“It’s fine,” Rumi interrupted, her voice calm and smooth. “I get that a lot.”
The dean blinked, thrown. “And… your daemon?”
Rumi tilted her head, braid shifting over her shoulder. “Didn’t feel like being cooped up again after the train ride. He’s probably somewhere outside. A tree, maybe.” Her laugh was light, as though she hadn’t just said something impossible.
Silence blanketed the room. Daemons didn’t stray. Not like that. The dean’s dog whined softly. Tavris crawled higher up Zoey’s shoulder, claws pricking through her shirt.
Zoey blurted, “You’re hot.“
