Drip.
Rumi reflexively reach up to her face and felt something wet before looking up at the murky grey sky. The forecast had only been 66% chance of rain when she had checked the weather forecast before her and Jinu had decided to head to a park where Jinu assumed it was a date to have some alone time.
“Looks like it’s gonna rain…” Jinu says as he walks alongside Rumi. “If you don’t have an umbrella, my jacket’s big enough to keep us both dry~”
“Oh.” The Half Demon had already pulled the compact umbrella from her purse. “I… have my umbrella.”
“…but, but, but,” Jinu whimpers, looking at Rumi with his puppy dog eyes. In response, The Half Demon averted her eyes and popped open the umbrella.
“Come on, let’s head home.”
“…are you sure you don’t wanna share my jacket? I promise it’s nice and warm~”
“…tempting, but I think we should hurry before it rains any harder.” Rumi held up the umbrella high above her head and motion for her boyfriend to join her underneath. After a moment’s hesitation and a particularly loud huff, Jinu grabs the umbrella from her hand. The Demon Heartthrob holds it up and with his free hand, pulls Rumi so she's standing side by side beneath it.
“This way, we both win~” The Demon Heartthrob proclaims cheerfully, slipping a hand around her.
Rumi flushed red, feelng slightly embarassed, but she doesn't say anything. The power couple attempts to hurry through the park as the pitter-patter of the rain gets increasingly louder, signifying that the rain is indeed getting stronger.
As they walk, Rumi notices puddles starting to form on the sidewalk, near the cracks and edges. Perhaps, if the rain stops sometime before they leave the park, Rumi and Jinu can delay going home and instead just hop around and play in the puddes.
Suddenly, The Half Demon feels a strong tug and next thing she knows the both of them are running. Rumi glances over at Jinu to try to figure out what caused the abrupt change in pace. The Demon Heartthrob notices Rumi’s gaze and flashs a determined grin. The Half Demon's heart skips a beat and it’s almost enough to disguise the uneasiness growing in the pit of her stomach.
“Jump Rumi!” Jinu yells out suddently.
Instinctively, Rumi obeys.
It seems that Jinu didn’t want to wait until the rain stopped to play around in the puddles.
The Demon Heartthrob lets out a satisfied sigh. “That was a good one, wasn’t it?”
He has a point. The splash from the puddle they both jumped in was truly magnificient. Rumi had been hoping to avoid getting wet, but at this point it’s, well, a little too late.
Before Rumi could answer him, Jinu starts tugging at Rumi again, “Oh! There’s another one!”
Jinu immediately races toward another puddle, with Rumi lagging about an arm’s length behind. Unlike before he doesn’t signal for her to jump too and when he jumps Rumi ends up getting yanked forward. This causes Rumi to slip and lose her balance. The Half Demon ends up falling, face first, on to the ground next to the pavement with a hard thud. Jinu, whose hand is still firmly holding on to hers, topples right on top of Rumi.
Now Rumi knows for sure- dirt and grass do not taste good in the slightest.
The Demon Heartthrob, realizing the position Rumi’s in, jumps up and moves to her side, rolling her over onto his lap so that Rumi can finally breath some fresh air.
Jinu half yells her name out, “Are you okay?”
The Half Demon spit and sputter, trying to clear her mouth of any dirt. “Jinu …. I think I’m dying…”
Jinu stares at his Demon girlfriend with wide eyes and latches onto one of her hands, “What?! No! You can’t!”
“I… I’m sorry,” Rumi croaked dramatically, “I… I…”
“What is it honey?” Jinu asks, leaning forward.
“I…” The Half Demon rolled her eyes back and flutter her eyelids, pretending to die dramatically.
“Wait! No… NO!!!!” Jinu half-sobs loudly. “You can’t… not yet…”
The Half Demon lied there, as still as she can manage, doing her best to contain her laughter. She feels Jinu shift a little and if feels as if he’s bending over. A second later, The Half Demon feels somethng warm and soft brush against her lips. Surprised, her eyes shoot open just as Jinu pulls away.
“Ah… y-you…” Rumi stuttered in surprise.
The Demon Heartthrob grins smuggly. “It seems a kiss doth saveth my lady from a death most foul!”
“B-but… my lips were d-dirty…”
“Oh?” Jinu tilts his head to the side. “You were so cute, I didn’t even notice.”
Rumi’s face heats up instantly. Looking pleased with this reaction The Demon Heartthrob reaches up and wipes her face with one of his sleeves. Then he leans in, a playful smirk gracing his features. “Now that you’re clean, would you like me to kiss you again.”
Rumi stares at her husband.
Jinu takes her silence as a yes, and moves to close the distance. At the last second, Rumi raised her hand and moved it between her lips- blocking his kiss. “Not now. We should really get back home. We’re both soaked now. If we don’t hurry, we’ll catch colds.”
Jinu pouts as he pulls away. Slowly he rises to his feet then extends a hand to help Rumi up. Gladly, she takes it. Once they're both standing, The Half Demon brushed off some of the dirt while Jinu goes to retrieve the umbrella. The Demon Heartthrob must have accidentally dropped it during the fall.
Then they resume their walk back to the Huntrix Penthouse. The Half Demon notice he’s a little more deflated than normal so after a few moments of walking Rumi clear her throat. ”Erm, if you want, we can… resume what we were doing once we’ve showered.”
Jinu perks up immiediately. “You mean, in the shower?” He winked seductively.
The Half Demon blushed. “N-no.”
Jinu visibly pouts at his soulmate.
Rumi’s lying, but The Half Demon thinks it’s better to leave him to find that out on his own.
