Summary
The woman’s eyes widened, and her hand reached out, not quite touching Rumi, but close. “Not that you’re not beautiful, because wow, you-” She stopped, a look of realisation crossed her face “-I mean, no, wait, no, you are beautiful, but I wasn’t hitting on you, I have a girlfriend-”
Rumi ignored her chest squeezing.
“-A stunning girlfriend, Mira. I mentioned her, right? My girlfriend Mira-” The woman stopped abruptly and lowered her head down into her arms. “Jeez, Zoey, stop rambling at the deaf woman.” It was muffled, but Rumi heard it.
Silenced by grief, Rumi’s world is transformed when she crosses paths with Mira and Zoey, who guide her toward a voice she thought was lost forever.

Summary
“Do you know the hat rule, Rumi?”
An eyebrow arched high, “The hat rule?”
“The hat rule,” Zoey confirmed. There was a dramatic pause and Rumi was just about ready to whip out her phone and look it up herself before Zoey continued. “The hat rule used to just mean basic etiquette for wearing a stetson but now it basically means ‘if you wear a cowboy hat, you have to ride the cowboy. In your case, the cowgirl.”
Rumi blinked slowly, her brain not fully connecting or short-circuiting. She wasn’t sure which one, “I’m sorry…what?”
Zoey rolled her eyes and laughed.
“It means Mira just told every person in this arena to back the fuck off because you’re hers.”

Summary
Rumi Ryu only had one plan: keep her head down, play soccer, and prove herself — even if that meant bending the rules and disguising who she really was. But the universe had other ideas. Between chaotic study sessions with Zoey (who can’t sit still for more than three minutes), Mira (who could command an army with just one eyebrow), and teammates who think chanting Hunters kill Demons is a valid pre-game ritual, Rumi’s carefully guarded double life starts to crumble.
The problem? Instead of falling apart, it falls into something else entirely: love. Messy, inconvenient, absolutely terrifying love — with two girls who refuse to let her hide.
She’s not just fighting to win a game. She’s fighting to let herself be loved — all the way, every curve, every edge, every imperfection. And this time? She’s playing for keeps.
Or
She’s the man but not??

Summary
"So, Rumi," Zoey's mother begins, so sweet and benign and unaware of the massive headache she was about to gracefully bestow upon Rumi. "Are you seeing anyone?"
It's an innocent question. Just one of those things that parents ask their daughter's friends. She asks it while Rumi helps herself to a delectable serving of galbi jjim, piling cuts of the meat onto her plate, and Rumi almost fumbles her chopsticks and drops a piece.
It's just a yes or no question.
Rumi, however, stops and very eloquently says: "Um."
OR: When Zoey's cousin invites all three of them to California for his wedding, Zoey is forced to navigate her and Rumi's newly-found feelings for each other while staying at her parents' house for four days. Zoey's trying not to explode, Rumi is an awkward, blushing mess, and Mira thinks it's the funniest shit ever. Will they manage to survive Costco, nosy family members in a backyard barbecue, a bachelor party, and the wedding day itself?
