    Summary

    400 years ago, Jinu made a choice that changed the course of his destiny. Haunted by silver eyes and his decision to abandon his family to pull himself out of poverty, Jinu, having sold his soul to the demon king Gwi-ma and become one of those loathsome, vile creatures himself, is now indentured to him. As the memories steadily catch up to him, he strikes a deal with his master.

    The Honmoon, the energy that protects the world from demons, the energy the Hunters nurture, is nearly gold, which would mean the total destruction of the demon realm and all its inhabitants.

    Gwi-ma agrees: Jinu kills the infamous Hunters, and Gwi-ma erases his memories, allowing him the final solace of forgetting.

    Except: the silver in his dreams, the silver that cuts into him every night since the night she died for him, has a new name.

    A hunter whose sworn duty is to kill him and his kind.

    And he remembers her all too well.

    Summary

    Jinu walked out of the palace a ghost, cursed with the knowledge that the body the humans mourned was somebody else. He had no idea whose body it was, and he did not care to figure it out. Gwi-Ma had his own methods.

    But a man turned demon had to die to survive.

    Now, the whispers pounded on the inside of his skull, louder than ever before.

    “You’re mine now, Jinu,” growled Gwi-Ma. His voice was grating, like that of a rusted sword scraping against wood. “Come to me.”

    -

    Or, 2 times Jinu refused Derpy's help, and 1 time he asked for it.

    Summary

    “‘I wanted to set you free’?” Jinu reads the words out loud slowly, as if that will help him make sense of them. It doesn’t work— he still feels as confused and mildly concerned as he did before. “I know you said the words can have mysterious and unexpected meanings but this just sounds…” He grimaces. “Tragic.”

    His mother laughs to herself, shaking her head. “You can be so pessimistic. It could mean anything.”

    “They’re last words.” Jinu traces over the neat writing on his wrist. The color is vibrant, almost blue-ish, which only further makes it sound like his Soulmate is probably a yangban girl. And that makes Jinu think the context behind the words means it’s a relationship that won’t end well for him. “I’m not seeing any other explanation here.”

    (Or Soulmates have the last words they say to each other written on their wrists. Rumi and Jinu know how this will end, or at least, they think they do.

    Funnily enough, Soul Bonds don’t account for the nature of demons.)

    Summary

    Written for RuJinu This or That for the 1st anniversary of KPDH!

    -

    Her fingers were calloused and her wrist sore. The tightening sensation had increased as the weeks went on. She had this problem for as long as she could remember—or at least as long as she was training to be a hunter. After all, she used her left hand to play guitar. But since last year, the problem had gotten worse.

    Mira had claimed it was carpal tunnel, and Zoey had even brought her back to Healer Han the other day. Rumi drank his grape-flavored potion, but nothing seemed to work.

    “It’s been paining you for years, am I right, Rumi-nim?” Healer Han asked in a follow-up call. “Perhaps it is because you’ve brushed sleeves with someone with whom you’ve had a past connection. It is possible that the connection is so strong that it now manifests itself through the ache in your wrist.”

    -

    Or, to Rumi, there are things more important than the destiny the world has handed to her, and she will make her own fate. To Jinu, fate is just another word for "cage."
