Summary
“Don’t forget about our deal, Jinu,” Gwi-Ma sneered, and a gasp was torn from Jinu's lips as his markings flared with new pain and echoes of screams and cries began to rise in volume in his head. "Don’t think you can escape what you are. Don’t you even dare think that you can escape me.”
- - -
But the spark of hope that Rumi ignited in Jinu that there could be something beyond this life of misery and shame isn’t so easily extinguished by threats and pain and to Jinu's horror, Gwi-Ma discovers the traitorous thought. Gone now is the deal for his memories to be erased and instead the fates of the Saja Boys, the closest thing Jinu has to family, are now at stake. Either he follows through with his plan and helps Gwi-Ma capture all the human souls, or the only people he's allowed himself to care about will suffer horror and pain for the rest of the eternity. There's no right answer, there's no escape, and no matter what Jinu chooses people are going to get hurt. The only thing he can even try to control is how much.
Or; a darker, whumpier take on Jinu's deal with Gwi-Ma while exploring the backstories of the Saja Boys.

Summary
Sometimes we're given subtle warnings, warnings that we overlook. Warnings that pertain to weather, our health, relationships, and day to day life. Baby thought he recognized those warnings. He thought he knew his body well enough to notice when something wasn't right.
He thought wrong.
When Baby has a seizure that comes about without warning, things go downhill quickly. The Saja Boys realize just how fast their world could be turned upside down, and decisions must be made.

Summary
“Okay.” He whispers, quiet but meaning it when he says, “I want this. I want to deserve your trust. I want to stay.”
Jinu feels it before he sees it. The change in the air, the way the Honmoon pulses beneath his feet. His eyes crack open just in time to see its strings wrap around him. Not constricting or planning to pull him down but— cradling. Like a safety net. It shimmers but it’s not just blue. It’s a multitude of colors— rainbow and iridescent. It’s brief, gone in seconds, but Jinu can still feel it. The safety of it, preventing him from falling or getting pulled down into the depths of the demon realm.
His head is reeling. Both he and Rumi are panting in the aftermath. It’s for these reasons that Jinu allows himself some grace for how long it takes for him to once again notice the silence— the absence.
Gwi-Ma is gone. The quiet has returned.
(Or Rumi helps Jinu escape Gwi-Ma’s wrath a little more permanently after their duet, causing him to be freed from his control but also making things complicated. This also leads to Rumi willingly revealing her patterns and a team up between Huntrix and the Saja Boys. Turns out saving one soul can lead to saving a lot more.)
