    Summary

    Motherhood is a choice you make each day,
    to love, to cherish, to teach, to hope.
    Being a daughter is no choice at all.
    It’s carved into your bones before you take your first breath,
    a tether you can’t sever, no matter how far you run.
    A mother can raise you to the sky or crush you to the ground in a heartbeat.
    No mother ever fully matches the child’s idea of what a mother should be,
    and the same is true the other way around.

    Summary

    Celine is standing outside when she arrives. She puts her arms out when she sees her, like she used to when Rumi was a toddler. Then she flinches, like she remembers.

    Rumi ignores it and steps into them anyway. It takes a beat or two before Celine fully wraps her arms around her, but when she does, Rumi crumbles. The weight of her pain, her fear, her exhaustion is suddenly too much to bear when the arms that carried her through childhood offer to lighten the load.

    Or

    Rumi migrates back to Jeju to learn how to breathe again and begins to mend things with Celine, and with herself.

    Summary

    Rumi has been hiding all her life. She never got close to anyone, and that means that when it comes to relationships, she's severly unprepared for when her two best friends tell her they want to try dating her.

    OR

    Zoey goes in for the kiss, and Rumi panics.

    Summary

    Rumi’s stomach churns at the thought of seeing Celine again after how they left things off before she ran head-first into Gwi-ma’s not-so-little deathtrap, but she walks up the steps without thinking, the way she always used to, past the gate and across the familiar stone path, and then knocks on the front door.

    “Celine,” she calls, and then she hears it. The soft, slow shuffle of footsteps from inside, drawing nearer and nearer, and then, the sound of the lock turning, and—

    The door opens, and the woman standing in front of them is not Celine.

    If Rumi isn’t actually dead already, her heart stops. “Mom?”

    Ryu Miyeong frowns at her. “‘Mom?’"

    or: Rumi wakes in a world where Miyeong is alive, and Rumi never existed.
