Summary
Her old dance instructor always said that if, while dancing in a group, their footfalls began to echo your heartbeat, it meant the connection went beyond choreography. It’s no longer just dance, it’s something more.
God.
Maybe Celine hadn’t been bullshitting her about that whole “Honmoon” thing after all.

Summary
There was something quietly, achingly beautiful about existing side by side, each lost in their own little worlds yet tethered together all the same.
Rumi thought of it as she strummed softly on her guitar, every note falling into the gentle hush of the room.
She wasn’t sure she’d ever known what peace truly felt like before but if she had to name it, she’d point to this moment. Right here.

Summary
Having her roommate’s girlfriend hit on her definitely wasn’t on Zoey’s 2025 bingo card.
Getting kissed by said roommate a few hours later? Also not on the card.
And ending the night smothered in kisses? Yeah, most certainly not on the card either.

Summary
“I’d like to thank all of you for coming today. I’m Mira Kang. You can call me chef while in class,” A slightly deep, soothing voice sounded from the back of the room. Rumi began chewing like a woman on a mission, hoping to finish off the last few pearls that swished around in her mouth as she felt the chef pass behind her. “We’re going to be starting off simple today. First, I’ll teach you how to properly prepare your ingredients for bibimbap and then we’ll move on to making the rice and we’ll go from there.”
Rumi glanced around as a few of the older women began whispering amongst each other and looking towards the main station where the chef was most likely now standing. Still chewing on her last tapioca pearl, Rumi’s eyes wandered over towards the chef wondering just what caught the interest of the women.
Pink hair.
A harsh, hacking cough rattled Rumi’s chest as she inhaled her half chewed pearl. Just at the front of the class was the same woman that she’d smashed her face against glass to see for just a moment longer. The same smooth skin and button down shirt. The same brown eyes –now looking at Rumi.
She needed to get out of this class before she made a fool of herself even more.

Summary
Zoey doesn’t know how long she stands there in the middle of her room, gawking at the notification flashing at her screen.
Well, notifications, plural. They’re back to back on her home screen, right under all her social media notifications of people showering her with likes for today’s breakfast.
Ryu Rumi sent you $250.00
“For lunch! Let me know if you need more xo”Kang Mira sent you $501.00
“lmk if she sent more than 500, I can double it lol”Zoey loudly declares, “What the HELL?”
Or, broke college student Zoey goes viral for her revolting college meals—and rich girls Rumi and Mira find a little pity (among other things) in their hearts for her.

Summary
Zoey’s a writer. It’s how she learned to make something good out of the ache. Now, she will tear herself open for a verse that won’t come.
(A canon-compliant, Zoey-centric fic after the events of the movie.)

Summary
When Zoey returns to California for her annual visit with her estranged father, Rumi and Mira notice something's wrong. The cheerful texts don't match the fear in her voice. The selfies hide more than they show.
"I didn't want you to know," she says. "I thought if I pretended hard enough... he'd be the dad I remembered."
or: author puts zoey through it again and again. because i love her. i promise there will be fluff and love and comfort. heavy stuff here so read with caution!
