Summary
A new apartment was supposed to mean a clean slate. You didn’t plan on inheriting two roommates, a whole friend group, and a boy who watches you like you’re a question he’s afraid to ask.
The people you meet feel close, too close, bound by something they don’t talk about and change the subject to avoid.
But Jean Kirstein is different. He keeps his distance, guarded and sharp, yet somehow you keep running into the version of him he doesn’t show anyone else.
Not on purpose.
Not at first.Late-night hang-outs, unexplained tension, and the sense that everyone is holding their breath around you pull you deeper into things you were never supposed to notice. And while you try to build your own new beginning, you can’t shake the feeling that this group’s past is catching up to all of you.
Because starting over is easy, until the past you didn’t want to remember existing starts looking you in the eyes.
Especially when those eyes belong to Jean.

Summary
Her boot catches the edge of a tile—barely a slip, just a half step too short—and she stumbles.
And suddenly it’s years ago. Another rooftop. Another fall.
“You lost your balance.”
Celine’s voice, cool as the blade in her hand.
“Demons won’t give you second chances, Rumi.”
The rod glows white-hot as it strikes across her back. She doesn’t scream. She never screams.
Pain means improvement. Weakness must be purged. Mistakes are fuel.
OR
basically a rewrite of canon, starting at the Golden rehearsal and going through the pattern reveal and beyond. but ofc Rumi has a more tragic past where Celine physically and emotionally abused Rumi with a guise for improvement. (it's giving mother gothel)
The memories that haunt Rumi cause her to pull away, and the girls try to figure out why (and they succeed in a devastating way).*Zoey and Mira follow Rumi to Celine’s after the idol awards reveal (ch6)*

Summary
Her wings are manifesting.
It’s the only thing that makes sense —and yet, it doesn’t.
Rumi’s nails dig into her own skin as another burst of pain rips through her back. Something warm trails down her sides — thick, heavy and unmistakably blood.
It doesn’t make sense, because Rumi has read how wings manifest.
It’s supposed to happen in soft, glowing light, surrounded by warmth, by peace, by joy.Not like this.
OR
In a world where everyone has wings, Rumi’s finally manifests—through blood and pain.
Celine tries to help but makes a terrible mistake, leaving Rumi to live with the consequences, too afraid to trust anyone ever again.
Enter Mira and Zoey, and Rumi’s entire world tilts.- Language:

Summary
“I’m telling you, Dokka would totally play Stardew Valley!” Zoey yelled.
“Do you really see a goddess like her doing something so trivial? There’s no way! She’s a die-hard RPG player. She probably defeats Elden Ring with her eyes closed!”
“Just because she’s hot doesn’t mean she can’t get a wife and settle down!” Zoey was practically standing on the couch at this point.
Rumi is just standing to the side, trying to comprehend the obvious compliments they unknowingly gave Rumi.
Or
Rumi is a rich and famous idol who hides behind a mask and fake name. After getting lonely she decides to go to college where she accidentally moves in with two of her biggest fans. So now she needs to keep her identity hidden while figuring out feelings she’s developing.
