Summary
The client hadn’t really requested anything at all; their emails had been almost overly polite, if not jarringly formal, and had selected only the most vanilla options on the questionnaire she provided. Certainly a far cry from the standard practices of her usual clientele, but this one had paid upfront and picked this expensive hotel, and Mira’s fees are dear enough on their own that she had been coloured intrigued.
Mira takes a left down the hallway after leaving the elevator and finds herself at the door to the room. She doesn’t steel herself—doesn’t need to. She can handle anything. Has handled most things. Mira swipes the keycard and lets herself in.
The person sitting on the bed is probably the last thing she expects.
In which Mira is a professional, Rumi is socially inept, and Zoey is also there. Let's hope nobody catches feelings.

Summary
Rumi froze.
She tapped the video, replaying. And there, she could see it. Mira’s arm— low, angled toward her seat, vanishing out of frame. Doing a mental check, it was exactly where Rumi remembered: resting tentatively against the edge of her seat, fingertips brushing close enough that she’d felt a phantom warmth on her thigh the whole ride.
The replies underneath were brutal:
@wolfcub123: don’t play with me, is she holding your THIGH???
@cryingmirror: rumiiiiii blink twice if you’re in a relationship with the hottest woman on earth
@iloveturtles: oh we KNEW Mira was smooth but THIS?? 💀
@shiphuntrix: that’s not your bestie, that’s your GIRL.
—Or, Rumi posts what she thought was an innocent reel and the internet goes feral.

Summary
"Of all the women in this stupid village, they had to pick me"
When Mira's name is chosen to be sent to the demon king as his bride, she knew it was a death sentence. Gwi-Ma was known to devour souls, and she knew he would devour hers.
But when she's taken to meet the demon king...
Mira looked up to see his face— "Oh!" For the second time tonight, Mira was startled to see a young woman's face. The demon king wasn't a king at all. She was a demon queen. Her eyes were a soft brown, though when she stepped into the light, they reflected with a golden hue. The tiger striped patterns were on her face and neck too. She wasn't human, that was for certain.
But she didn't seem dangerous either.
OR
Rumi gets sent two brides she didn't ask for and she can't seem to get either of them to go home.

Summary
Rumi’s rule was simple: Survive. With a three-year-old daughter, a baby on the way, and an ex who vanished, she has no time for anything but work and her Graphic Design degree. Rumi lives on the edge, trying to balance the chaos of being a single mom with the pressure of an uncertain future.
Mira’s rule was clear: No complications. Owner of Seoul’s most famous tattoo studio, she values precision and control. Mira has no patience for the mess of other people's lives and lives only for her art.
When the worlds of these two artists collide, the impact is immediate and negative. It’s hate at first sight—an encounter defined by judgments and tension. But in a city where the paths of design and ink constantly cross, they soon realize that running from each other isn’t an option. Now, they must discover that life doesn't always follow straight lines and that, together, they can draw their best contour.
