Ever since Huntr/x defeated the Saja Boys, life had been... suspiciously calm. Almost too calm.
Rumi, now finally free of stress, had treated herself to something she'd been dreaming about since forever - a bathhouse trip with her two ride-or-die besties, Mira and Zoey. Steam, skincare, gossip, and cucumbers on their eyes - the girls were living.
Everything seemed fine. Everything seemed normal.
...Or so they thought.
Because somewhere out there, Derpy and Sussy were still roaming the streets. And if those two were still out there, then one inevitable-and somehow exciting-truth followed:
JINU. WAS. STILL. HERE.
One perfectly normal sunny afternoon, the trio decided to hit the park. Birds were chirping, kids were screaming on the swings, and the air smelled faintly of grass mixed with overpriced ice cream.
Then they saw it.
A food truck.
Zoey's eyes sparkled like she'd just spotted her soulmate. "OMG HOTDOGS." She sprinted faster than an Olympic sprinter and slammed her order in: one hotdog, extra ketchup, no regrets.
Meanwhile, Rumi gracefully ordered a mango slush, sipping it like she was in some boujee commercial. Mira, of course, was just judging both of them.
And then-
A mysterious, echoing voice broke through the air like a cursed ringtone:
"Did somebody say... sIx-SeVeN?"
The three girls whipped around in horror, slush halfway to Rumi's lips. Because they knew. They KNEW.
It couldn't be... right? RIGHT?!
He died of overwork and transmigrated into the pregnant body of an ancient gent who had died of overwork. His husband has been sent off to war and the odds of survival don't look good. His two children are hungry and ragged. Will Jing Sheng be able to survive childbirth and keep this struggling family alive? Will Jing Sheng be able to live well if his husband returns from war?
