#WeWereLiars

Summary:

They fell in love between takes. Then life called cut.

Now Jinu is back in Rumi’s life, and maybe their story isn’t over after all.

Rumi X Jinu (r/RuJinu)

A scholarly examination of two actors who may or may not be in love. We remain unbiased. (We are extremely biased.)

Welcome to r/RuJinu, a dignified and respectful forum dedicated to the professional and personal entanglements of Rumi and Jinu—two award-winning actors who continue to select emotionally devastating projects, deliver suspiciously intimate performances, and insist (with decreasing conviction) that they are “just good friends.”

We encourage thoughtful discussion, enthusiastic shipping, and creative fan contributions. Please refrain from tagging the actors directly or engaging in invasive behavior.

This is the place for:

  • Cornplating / Screencap dissections at 2AM
  • Dubious translations of interviews ("he called her what now??")
  • Slow-mo GIFs of That One Scene™
  • Conspiracy boards about the 'shared hoodie/shirt'
  • Endless ship name debates (RuJinu vs. Jinumi vs. You're Both Hot Shut Up)

Rumi and Jinu haven’t had any interaction in a long time. He’s out of the military now. So… what’s the excuse.

[Flaired: Theories]

Hi everyone. Longtime lurker, first-time poster, and I come in peace... sort of. I’m here with what I believe is a respectful, non-deranged inquiry:

Did Rumi and Jinu sign a mutual restraining order or something? They haven’t even breathed near each other in years.

Yes, I know Jinu enlisted. I was there. We all cried. We all watched the blurry fan video of Rumi allegedly attending the send-off in sunglasses and a bucket hat like she was entering the Witness Protection Program.

But—and I say this very gently—that was like TWENTY FIVE (I'm not good with numbers, someone confirm) months ago. And Jinu was officially discharged from service ten days ago. In that time:

  • Rumi promoted two dramas, hosted an awards show, and allegedly got bangs
  • Jinu posted a photo of grilled chicken, one selfie, and a handwritten note that somehow managed to thank everyone except one person whose name rhymes with Sumi
  • And most importantly, they have still not interacted. Not a like. Not a comment. Nothing
  • Before anyone says “they’re just private,” let’s all take a breath and recall:

    • The infamous “accidental” couple’s vacation that neither of them ever explained
    • The time Rumi posted a photo wearing his hoodie, deleted it, and then Jinu posted a photo in the same hoodie the next day with the caption “it’s mine again :)”
    • Anyway. I’m not saying they broke up. I’m just saying if they did, it would explain the sudden frostiness, the archived posts, the emotional tension during their last press tour, and the fact that she unfollowed his private account.

      In conclusion, I am merely a civilian asking questions. And those questions are:

      • What happened?
      • Who is sadder?
      • Can they still co-star in the sequel to that movie or is it officially off the table?
      • And are we allowed to be heartbroken or do we all have to pretend we didn’t spend two years emotionally investing in their potential secret situationship?
      • TL;DR: Jinu’s back from the mandatory military service, Rumi’s ignoring him, and she unfollowed his private account. Something happened and I’m nosy.

Hey Rumi, I know you're on vacation right now, but Jinu’s been badgering me nonstop for your new number.

Do you want me to give it to him?
