for early access!
I don't write RPF as a general rule, but in this case TWICE is canonical to the KPDH universe. Still, I'm not planning to have any individual member show up in-story lol, this is as far as I toe that line.

"Please, welcome to the stage… TWICE!"
As the opening melody for Strategy begins to play, Bobby watches on the main monitor from backstage. Admittedly, he's not too focused on the girl group that his girls are competing against at the Idol Awards this year. Don't get him wrong, TWICE were exceptional singers and dancers and easily one of the best groups in the business right now. They just had one fatal flaw… they weren't HUNTR/X.
HUNTR/X had shared the Idol Awards stage with five different groups five years in a row now and every single time, they'd crushed expectations and destroyed the competition. At this point, no one was expecting TWICE to win… not even TWICE themselves, probably.
That's why Bobby isn't too caught off guard when Jinu sidles up alongside him, having sensed the handsome demon coming from a mile away.
"Nervous, Bobby?"
Chuckling softly, Bobby shakes his head.
"No. I mean, I definitely would have been if I didn't know the truth. I remember before I found out about everything, I was terrified when Rumi said she wanted to swing from a golden ring over the crowd without a harness for the Golden Live Performance. But now I know that the girls can literally jump out of a private jet without parachutes and they'll be perfectly fine so that's a lot less concerning."
Jinu snorts in amusement, even as they both watch TWICE's performance. The girl group is singing their heart out; Bobby has to admit… but Strategy couldn't even outperform How It's Done. Against Golden… well, the outcome of tonight is all but set in stone.
"So… you and Celine, huh?"
Bobby winces at that even though he'd been half-expecting the question. It wasn't like he and Jinu had been avoiding each other these past few days or anything… at least, Bobby hadn't. He couldn't actually say what was true for Jinu. Still, things had really started to pick up after… well, after the night where Bobby and Celine had hooked up for the first time followed by the events of the next morning.
Bobby had thrown himself into Idol Awards preparations with all his might while also making sure they were putting out Jinu's official studio covers of the girls' songs on a perfect release schedule. On top of that, they had also dropped the bombshell on the media a couple days in that Jinu and Celine were distantly related.
The whole story about Celine recognizing the old family bipa from stories that her great-grandmother used to tell about a side of their family that was lost during Korea's greatest struggles had tugged at everyone's heart strings and finally silenced the last of the vitriol and negativity aimed at Jinu, HUNTR/X, and Sunlight Entertainment.
Just in time for the Idol Awards to arrive. In fact, Jinu's rendition of Golden was the last official studio cover and it had been released yesterday. It already had more views than the amateur version surreptitiously recorded back when Jinu was still busking in the park.
Everything had gone according to plan… but, well, Bobby and Jinu hadn't had the chance to talk. Until now, apparently. Side-eyeing the taller man and making sure absolutely nobody, including recording devices, are within range, Bobby decides to fight fire with fire.
"Yeah. Me and Celine. You and the girls?"
Jinu lets out a soft laugh, having clearly been expecting Bobby to snap back. Smiling crookedly, he shakes his head.
"Honestly, who can say? Pretty sure all three of us are just Rumi's at the end of the day."
Bobby huffs. As it should be. Rumi deserves all the happiness in the world and if dating both her bandmates as well as Jinu gives her that, then Bobby is all for it.
After another second of silence, Bobby thrusts his arm out in Jinu's direction.
"Let's both do our best to do right by them, yeah?"
Shovel talks were overrated anyways. So old fashioned. Plus, the look on Jinu's face is priceless. It only lasts for a couple of seconds before he grins and clasps Bobby's arm in turn, giving it a solid up and down and nodding sharply.
"Damn straight we will, Bobby."
On the screen, TWICE's performance is steadily coming to a close. Before the girls are up and Bobby has to focus fully on their performance, he gives Jinu his attention one last time.
"Heard you dealt with Gwi-Ma too."
Hah, and hadn't that left Celine more conflicted than anything. On the one hand, Gwi-Ma was dead and dusted. On the other hand… well, even she recognized that she was being irrational at that point and chose to just be happy in the end. Happiness that had in turn led to the two of them 'celebrating' long into the night just the other day…
"Yep."
"And that you kept the girls out of it."
"… Yep."
Bobby nods decisively at that.
"Good man, Jinu. Good man."
He can feel Jinu shoot him a surprised look that then turns grateful at that, but Bobby already has his eyes on the screen in front of him. This… this was it after all.
"And now the moment you've all been waiting for! Here to perform their hot new single Golden for the first time live… it's HUNTR/X!"
Wow, even the announcer wasn't being very impartial this year. But Bobby can't bring himself to care, not as the music starts up and everything finally kicks off.
"I was a ghost, I was alone (hah)
어두워진 앞길 속에 (hah)
Given the throne, I didn't know how to believe
I was the queen that I'm meant to be!"
Rumi crushes the start of course, even as Bobby practically vibrates in barely contained excitement. Zoey and Mira are right behind her too, both figuratively and literally.
"I lived two lives, tried to play both sides
But I couldn't find my own place!"
"Called a problem child 'cause I got too wild
But now that's how I'm getting paid! 끝없이 on stage!"
Some of the haters liked to point at Golden as 'evidence' of HUNTR/X falling into some of the same pitfalls as the rest of the industry, namely around the ever-prevalent issue of line distribution.
"I'm done hidin', now I'm shinin' like I'm born to be
We dreamin' hard, we came so far, now I'll believe…"
Ridiculous, of course. They didn't understand the first thing about how HUNTR/X worked. Maybe in any other idol group, like the ones with five or more members, something like line distribution was a bigger deal. Especially when those idol groups relied on outside songwriters, producers, choreographers, and designers to shore up their weak spots.
"We're goin' up, up, up, it's our moment
You know together we're glowing
Gonna be, gonna be golden!"
But HUNTR/X spearheaded everything themselves. Their costumes? Designed in large part by Mira, albeit with support from their in-house design team, but she had final say. Their choreography was also her baby and one she was insanely protective over. Their lyrics, their melodies, their songs… that was all Zoey. And who better to sing and show off the things that Mira and Zoey created than Ryu Rumi, the best damn vocalist in the entire fucking world?!
"Oh, up, up, up with our voices
영원히 깨질 수 없는
Gonna be, gonna be golden!"
Bobby hasn't forgotten Jinu is standing beside him, but he also doesn't care to stop himself from dancing along to Golden. However, he does pause briefly when Rumi finally comes to the front of the stage and gets in the golden hoop that lifts her up into the air.
"Oh, I'm done hidin', now I'm shinin' like I'm born to be
Oh, our time, no fears, no lies
That's who we're born to be!"
Like he told Jinu, he's not
really
afraid for Rumi anymore after learning how tough and durable the girls are. But damn if it isn't still a little nerve-wracking to see her flying over the crowd as she sings.
"You know we're gonna be, gonna be golden
We're gonna be, gonna be
Born to be, born to be glowin'
밝게 빛나는 우린!"
He needn't fret though, because it all comes to a close without issue as Rumi comes in for a landing and the girls move to join her back on stage for the end of the performance. Rumi's hands are outstretched… and Zoey and Mira's hands find them with ease, their fingers all entangling as they lift their arms into the air like they've already won, harmonizing on the final lines together.
"You know that it's our time, no fears, no lies
That's who we're born to
be
!"
Out of the three of them, only Rumi hits that final high note, but the other girls' voices are there as well, as beautiful as ever as they back up their beloved leader. Bobby sniffles and then lets himself cry, big honking tears streaming down his cheeks at the beauty of the moment.
"… You okay Bobby?"
"Better than okay, Jinu. I'm…
golden
."
-x-X-x-
They win, of course. Part of her almost felt guilty for knowing that they were going to win before they or their opponents had even performed, but a far larger part of Rumi just knew it with a soul-deep certainty that couldn't be shaken. This was their time. This was their moment. And they'd gone out there and absolutely
crushed
it.
TWICE was gracious in defeat, coming by to congratulate them afterwards with smiles that even reached their eyes. Rumi knew they had some honest-to-Honmoon fans among the other girl group's members to be fair, so that wasn't all that surprising.
Besides… this was HUNTR/X's sixth win in a row and with a song they'd never performed live before either. TWICE had to know they were up against pretty impossible odds.
Now though, all was said and done, the celebrations and afterparties were over, and Rumi found herself arriving back at HUNTR/X Tower alongside her girls, Jinu, Bobby, and Celine. And once it was just the six of them, she found she didn't much care for keeping up appearances.
"Jinu. You're coming with us to the penthouse. Eomma, Bobby… you two enjoy your night."
Mira smirks, Zoey squeals in excitement… and Bobby and Celine wisely bow out with kisses on cheeks and whispered congratulations before walking off holding hands.
Out of everyone, Jinu looks the most surprised as Rumi glares at him with no real heat, her hands on her hips. Raising an eyebrow at her, he chuckles.
"… I thought I was still… 'in the doghouse' as Zoey put it."
"Maybe you are and maybe tonight is just a one-off. Or maybe if you do a good enough job tonight, you can get out of the doghouse. Now come."
Jinu just shrugs in amused bemusement and follows Rumi and her girls into the elevator.
…
Admittedly they don't even make it all the way to the penthouse before Rumi turns and slams her lips into Jinu's, kissing him and pushing him up against the elevator wall. He grunts in surprise, his hands immediately going to her waist. Her Golden costume doesn't cover said waist, so his fingers immediately find flesh to grip and squeeze in a way that makes Rumi moan into his mouth.
Not to be outdone, both Mira and Zoey move in… on Rumi herself. Fingers find clasps and zippers and slowly as well as carefully pull down the zipper on her collar and then her jacket off her shoulders. Nothing like the violence of the original timeline, they're so very gentle with her.
Once her jacket is off and her shoulders and neck are bared, her girls' mouths find purchase upon the newly exposed flesh. Mira nibbles at Rumi's shoulder. Zoey sucks at Rumi's neck. Neither cares one bit that they're putting their mouths directly on sensitive iridescent patterns. Rather, that's probably intentional… because Rumi's patterns are in fact EXTREMELY sensitive.
What starts as Rumi pinning Jinu in place and kissing the ever-living daylights out of him quickly becomes an unfair three-on-one as Rumi finds herself melting beneath all six of their hands. Not fair… not fair at all… and yet, Rumi finds she doesn't mind.
Ding!
The elevator arrives up at the penthouse and she's all but carried out of it. To be fair, she does her best to give as good as she gets… but she only has one mouth and one set of hands and she's being positively ruined from all sides.
They go to Rumi's bedroom, even though she would have preferred they just stopped at the couch since it would have been faster. Clothes fly off, extremely expensive and well-crafted costumes tugged away and tossed haphazardly all over the place. Jinu's more casual shirt and pants don't survive either though, to be fair.
Rumi finds herself naked… and surrounded by the naked flesh of her loved ones in turn. Mira and Zoey and Jinu… all of them pressed up against her. Jinu's heat is against her lower abdomen. Mira and Zoey's breasts smoosh into her back and arm respectively.
Mira's voice comes to Rumi's ear then, her tone conveying the smirk that Rumi can't see at the moment.
"How do you want it, Princess?"
She leaves off the 'pillow' part, but Rumi hears it all the same. A low growl leaves Rumi's throat, reverberating up from her chest, and she decides instantly 'how she wants it'.
"O-On the bed… both you and Zoey g-get on the bed next to each other… spread yourselves for me."
Mira makes a noise of surprise and curiosity, but her and Zoey do as Rumi says. Good. Rumi will prove to them she's no 'pillow princess'. She'll prove to them just how hard of a worker she can be.
Of course, at the same time… she reaches down and grabs Jinu's cock, stroking it with her hand and looking him in the eye.
"Come."
She leads him by his dick and he follows easily. Mira and Zoey position themselves on the bed, watching her carefully… as Rumi climbs up on her hands and knees. Eventually, she has to let go of Jinu's cock… but she knows he's right behind her. At the same time, she crawls into place, straddling a leg apiece from Mira and Zoey.
Arching her back, Rumi 'invites' Jinu with her body, angling herself so her ass will be high in the air and her dripping, glistening, needy sex will be visible down between her thighs. And then… she reaches out and presses a finger apiece against Mira and Zoey's own slits, pushing into them as they stare at her, panting and moaning slightly.
"This… this is biblical levels of greed, Rumi."
Zoey's whine is met with a laugh from Mira.
"Wouldn't be Rumi if she didn't find some way to be a workaholic even in bed, now would it?"
Rumi blushes and pouts a bit, puffing out her cheeks… only to moan when Jinu's hands find her hips and his cock finds her slit. He's inside of her a moment later, making her groan loudly as his dick drills deep into her waiting sex.
This was only their second time having sex, as it so happened… all of them. After Celine's final bombshell and Jinu killing Gwi-Ma… well, Rumi felt like she had to be mad at Jinu for doing something so stupid for at least a little bit. And it just so happened to coincide perfectly with the fact that they really did need to rehearse for the Idol Awards and their upcoming performance of Golden.
In the end, these last few days had been hard. Not because they ran themselves ragged to make sure Golden went perfectly, but because Rumi had wanted nothing more than to have Jinu inside of her again.
Now she does. And at the same time, Rumi's fingers are inside of Mira and Zoey. At first, she tries to match Jinu's rhythm. She thrusts in and out of her girls in time with the thrusting Jinu is doing in and out of her clenching cunt. But eventually, Rumi wants more… she wants to show her girls just how much they mean to her.
"Oh fuck, Rumi!"
Zoey gets to go first. Maknae privileges. Rumi leans down, maintaining eye contact with the younger hunter, and proceeds to give Zoey's pretty pink pussy a long lick while her finger is still inside.
"Haaaah, you're ridiculous Rumi, you-nnngh!"
Mira is next, cut off mid-sentence while trying to say something. Rumi makes sure to give her pussy an extra lick and even nips at the other girl's clit for good measure.
All the while, Jinu is thrusting in and out of her, driving Rumi wild with his cock. She's in the middle of all three of them, but unlike the elevator… Rumi feels mostly in control this time. Call her a pillow princess, will they? Well, she'd show them. She'd show them all!
"RUMI!"
"Oh FUCK!"
The next while is… quite the experience as Rumi goes to town on her girls all while being fucked from behind by Jinu the entire time. She decides she actually likes doggystyle a lot for this purpose. If she were on her back, Mira or Zoey could sit on her face maybe, but that wouldn't be nearly as good.
No, from this position, she can watch BOTH of their faces as she eats out BOTH of their cunts, all while being plowed from behind. Yes… Rumi likes this a lot. It's definitely her new favorite, in fact.
By the time all is said and done, Mira and Zoey are… out of it. Turns out, Rumi and Jinu just have more stamina than they do in the end. One finger per pussy turns to two which turns to three, and by the close of the night, Rumi has honestly lost track of how many times she's made them both cum.
She also lost track of her own number of orgasms, but to be fair, she wasn't actually trying to count those in the first place.
Jinu, meanwhile, finishes deep inside of her, filling her up and leaving her all tingly and sticky. She loves it. She loves him. And she loves her girls.
As they all collapse into a cuddle pile, with Mira and Zoey falling asleep far faster from sheer exhaustion, Rumi's consciousness lingers a bit longer as she smiles at Jinu, her fingers tracing across his chest.
"Alright… you're forgiven. You ass."
Jinu snorts derisively at that, his arms encircling her and giving her a soft but solid squeeze.
"Your forgiveness is most appreciated. I'm glad I could earn it with my body, Princess."
Rumi just rolls her eyes. She's both too happy and too tired to bother getting offended at his damn teasing right now. So instead she just lays her head down and falls asleep on her demon's chest… secure in the knowledge that there's not ANOTHER Demon King he can fucking run off and merc in the middle of the night at this point.
