CRUEL REUNION

pairing: jinu saja (ft: the other saja boys) x (reincarnated! huntrix manager) female reader

summary: as the huntrix's manager, you have a lot things you need to handle but never imagined that you needed to confront a past lover you never knew about with how he's reminding you of your past together.

warning: harassment (from a drunk man), mentions of a physically painful memory flashback, mild obsessive behavior from the saja boys, a lot of dialogue, a couple of curse words, slight angst, and not proofread word count: 4k author's note: hi crystal, i hope you enjoy reading this fic and that i did your idea some justice (:

This was the big moment everyone had been waiting for. Your adrenaline was running wild– you could probably even hear your own heart at this point. But as anxious as you were, your excitement was at its peak. There’s no turning back now, not with all the work you, Bobby, and the girls had put in for their fans.

Bright stage lights shimmered vibrantly across the stage. Speakers, microphones, and other technological equipment were being retested. Staff members ran around hurryingly as they put the last finishing touches of decoration for this concert's theme. And here you were, on stage watching all of this unfold before your very eyes.

It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve seen the stage come to life; it still amazes you. It’s something magical that you can’t describe.

As you continued supervising what everyone was doing, your attention soon turned to your co-manager, Bobby. He seemed frantic, not in a good way either.

“What’s wrong, Bobby?” You paced over quickly with your mic pushed to the side and clipboard held tightly to your hip.

“The girls? I don’t know where they are?!” He shouted at the last bit as he tried to calm himself down with some breathing exercises.

“Calm down, I’m pretty sure they’ll be arriving any minute.” He nods and pulls his phone out, his eyes widened. “What?”

“T-Their plane is diverting its course!” He was breathing heavily as he took a bag out of his pocket to breathe in and out of it.

“I’ll call them. Don’t worry, for now just make sure everything else is ready before they get here.” He saluted you as he ran off with his group of staff to check the preparations.

You had poor signal from where you stood, so you headed to the back of the stage where you finally got a good bar.

Your phone rang once or twice before Rumi finally answered. They all smiled and waved before asking you what’s up.

“Girls, your plane is off course.” You simply explained and their faces grew stiff.

“We’ll call you back.” Rumi nervously said as she handed the phone to Zoey.

“Just give us five minutes and we’ll be there.” Mira cooly remarked as she followed Rumi off camera.

“Bye Y/N! LOVE YOU!” Zoey cheered as the face time abruptly ended.

You couldn’t help letting out an amused sigh, shaking your head side to side.

“Welp, I better get back to helping Bobby before he gets another anxiety attack.” You sprint back to the front of the stage to see everything is set.

Now all you had to do was wait for the girls. And just like they promised, they got there just in time.

“There you girls are! Hurry! Come on, the doors are about to be open!” You announced as the trio rushed to get their mics.

The familiar screams of joy, pressure, and anticipation grew louder with every passing second. The floor even started shaking as they rushed to get the best view which was always the front of course. This was when you held your breath.

You were on the side of the stage where the curtains blocked you from being seen. Bobby stood next to you, his hands clutched onto one another.

“Breathe, Bobby, just breathe.” You remind him but also a good reminder for yourself.

Then the music started playing, the special effects team allowed the smoke machine to run their magic, and the girls' silhouettes could then be seen on the main stage wall.

Their fans went crazy! They cheered for them as they heard them speak.

“What’s up, Huntrix fans!” Mira boldly greeted.

The fans erupted in delighted praises as the suspense of waiting was killing them slowly.

“Hello, hello! Zoey here!” The same thing happened once more.

“Who's ready to get this concert started?” Rumi gave the final blow as they all hopped onto the stage through a concealed passageway.

Good, you can finally breathe normally again. Bobby and you shared a fist bump before you moved along to aid the other staff members with whatever they needed help with. As much as you liked watching your friends perform, you care about their fans just as much. Every concert must be perfect, the previous few were, and this one won’t falter either.

Song after song, the fans sang along. Their fans watch in pure admiration to see your talented friends fly across the stage as they show off their amazing vocals.

Hours flew by before you knew it. And eventually the concert came to a beautiful close.

Rumi, Mira, and Zoey all bid their fans goodbye. Their fans did the same through their screams and tears.

“Until next time everyone!” They all rejoiced as they slowly walked off the stage.

“You girls were fantastic!” Bobby excitedly applauded as the girls were given their robes and snacks.

“Thanks Bobby!” Mira said as she stretched her aching muscles.

“I can’t wait to relax!” Zoey chimed with Mira sharing the same look.

“GIRLS!” You shouted, and immediately the trio halted.

“Y/N!” They shouted back before putting their snacks aside to hug you.

“Great performance out there!” You said in a whisper as their grip around you was far too tight to even breathe.

Luckily, they noticed and made their release.

“It’s all thanks to you.” Rumi patted your back to help you ease your back muscles.

“We couldn’t have done this without you.” Zoey jumped as she held your hands.

“Ummm guys?” Mira then pointed at your pouting co-manager.

“And you too Bobby. You’ve also helped make this happen.” You complimented; his smile quickly made its return.

After chatting for a bit, you let them go their merry way. They needed the rest. They’ve worked tirelessly so this is the time where they get their time off. Bobby also suggested you take some time off too but there were still some things you needed to work on.

“It’s okay Bobby. I just need to finish editing a couple of posts and then I’ll go on break.” Sounds like a plan to him.

Getting back home was always a pain since you needed to take transit. However, your lack of energy is the least of your worries. As one of the Huntrix’s managers, you’ve also gained a fanbase of your own. A lot of fans have given you gifts, cute nicknames, and lots of appreciation letters about the work you do. You love them all for their consideration but after working for that many hours, you’d rather be left alone and wait till the rush was over.

That meant you would have to be walking around, hat and mask on to avoid people noticing you. Most of the time it worked, but for true observing fans, they can spot you right away. Thankfully, not tonight.

You did your typical circling routine around a couple of blocks waiting for the crowd to slowly die down. The wait was killing your feet as it’s already been two hours. The crowds were still massive and lively.

“Damn, do I really want to call a taxi?” You wanted to but what you had in your wallet wasn’t nearly enough to pay the fair to get home.

So, you're stuck in your current predicament. It’s annoying, yes, but not everything is as jolly as you hoped it would be.

Exhausted and irritated, you decided to head to a bar. At least you’ll be able to sit and eat something to recuperate your strength.

While you order a drink and some food, you couldn’t help looking around. There weren’t a lot of people there which meant you could eat in peace. Maybe it was because you skipped lunch or your body desperately needed to refuel, but the food served was extra tasty. You finished eating everything in minutes as you paid what was owed.

Looking back at the clock, it is nearly midnight, hopefully you can finally take this moment to get on the train. To your relief, there was barely anyone in the streets near the train station. You started walking when you suddenly felt an unwanted hand gripping on your upper arm.

“Hey there, pretty thing? Aren’t you cute?” A drunk older man asked.

His breath stank of alcohol. He tried moving closer, though you moved back in time. You tried shaking your arm out of his grip, but he wouldn’t budge.

“Oh, come on. Why are you playing hard to get?” The man continued his pathetic attempts.

Disgusting. You were ready to use whatever force was necessary when the man was suddenly knocked down.

“WHAT THE HELL!” He shouted angrily, as you were dragged behind someone. “Who the hell are you?”

“That doesn’t fuckin matter. Get away from her.” The man who is protecting you spoke.

“Or what?” The drunken man stood up, rolling his sleeves.

Worried, you tried to deescalate the situation. Your hands tugged on your defender's arm. He didn’t turn around; in fact, his eyes were trained on the man in case he decided to move any closer.

“The fuck is his problem?” A different voice chimed in.

Turning around, your heart dropped. Great, now a whole group of guys were getting involved.

Intimidated by being outnumbered, the man surrendered as he retreated into the bar.

“T-Thank you. You didn’t have to do that.” You thanked as you got to see the man’s face for the first time.

“It’s not a– problem?” His tone confused you for a bit.

That look? His face? Have you seen him before? Where would you have even seen him?

“And you all as well.” You softly spoke as the other guys all seemed to share the same shocked, flustered reaction.

What is going on here?

“Well… thank you all once again, but I have to go.” You needed to get out of there as soon as possible.

“Hey wait!” The one who saved you called out.

Making a rough stop, you turn to hear what he had to say.

“What is your name?” Why is he even asking? But then again, he did save you so this is the least you can do.

“It’s Y/N.” You smiled and gave a little nod as you then ran off to the train station.

There was no way you would miss the last train!

Once you were gone, the guys just stood there contemplating.

“You guys heard that right?” Jinu mumbled as they nodded.

“Her face, her voice, her personality, her smile– there’s nothing about her that has changed.” Romance plainly stated.

“Should we go after her?” Abby suggested.

“No, let’s leave her be.” Jinu spoke up.

His head says one thing, but his heart says another.

“Come on, let’s just go back to the hotel. I’m tired.” Baby whined.

With nothing else to do and full from feasting on the many souls they had that night, they decided to return to their hotel as Baby suggested.

You made it in the nick of time to catch up to the last train. The door instantly closed when you ran in crazily. Your fellow commuters seemed worried but nevertheless minded their own business.

Panting, you took the closest seat available. You let your lungs rest as you pulled your phone out. There you had a few notifications from the girls and Bobby, and a few business emails you needed to attend to. But other than that, you can rest easy.

Or so you thought.

The universe must be torturing you because you can’t get that image of that man or his friends out of your head. Something in your mind is telling you directly that you know them. Though no matter how much you think about it, it leads you nowhere. You swear you’ve never seen them before until that very night. And yet there is that sense of familiarity you can’t brush off.

Just where have you seen this man and his friends before?

Burned out, you quickly tossed your shoes to the side of the entrance. Your door lock was secured. And so, you made your way to the living room where you swiftly crashed onto your couch. Sleep quickly gets a hold of your consciousness.

Maybe you can have some sweet dreams to forget about tonight? Or not.

As quick as you were knocked out, you found yourself awake again. But not in your physical body, more like in your consciousness.

“Where am I? Where is this place?” Your eyes scanned around, you're currently floating in a white liminal space of nothingness. “What kind of dream is this?”

Instead of expecting a jump scare of some kind or some odd event to occur, it seems like your mind started playing a scene. The hologram-like figures were blurry but still visible enough for you to make out a couple of features.

“Hey stop that! I said stop that! NO WAIT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” That voice– it was your voice?!

“Why am I laughing?” The hologram then showed a version of you dressed in traditional attire. “Huh?”

“No! This is what you get for eating the last songpyeon!” Why does this person sound familiar? Hang on a second, it’s that man’s voice from before!

Your curiosity increases ten folds when you watch intently.

The image of that version of you and that man got clearer and clearer the longer you watched.

“Is this a hidden memory of some kind?” You wondered as more memories poured in.

It felt like you were watching for hours when you finally woke up to the sound of your annoying alarm. Groaning, you got up miserably, alarm turned off and phone tossed to the side.

“What was that?” You rest your head in your hands as you reflect what you saw.

Those guys that you saw yesterday, were the spitting image of the people you saw in your dreams.

Maybe you needed more rest than you originally thought?

This had to be a one-time occurrence… except it wasn’t. Nope, your brain kept on replaying these memories for the next couple of weeks. There was no rest. Even when you tried sleeping for a shorter period, your brain decided that this was going to be a daily issue as flashbacks emerged.

“Woah! What happened to you?” Mira asked concerningly as she moved out of the way for you to enter through the doorway.

“It’s nothing.” You’re not fooling anyone with how you look.

“It can’t be nothing if it’s taking a toll on your body?” Rumi said while fetching you some pillows so you can get comfortable on their couch.

“Really it’s nothing.” The girls just shake their heads and sigh.

“You’re overworking yourself again.” Zoey reminded.

“I’m not.” You defended quickly though you knew this argument was a losing battle.

“Say how about we go to this clinic. The doctor there is known to help people ease their minds and make their exhaustion go away. What do you say?” Zoey’s eyes brightened with anticipation.

“Sure? I guess?” You replied before yawning.

Yup, that sealed your fate, you're going.

“Is this the right direction?” Mira questioned, looking around the streets.

“Trust me you guys, the doctor is a well-known healer!” Zoey gleefully informed.

You and Rumi could only walk alongside each other listening to the banter Mira and Zoey had going on.

“Spa treatment after this?” Rumi quietly proposed.

“Please.” You murmured as you four then arrived.

“Here it is!” Zoey called out as her arms shot up into the air.

“Yay?” You gave your best enthusiastic cheer as you stepped in.

The more you look around in the waiting room, the more you're suspicious of the bold claims the doctor made about his so-called “healing treatments.” Nevertheless, you stayed, not wanting to hurt Zoey for her considerate attempt to make you feel better.

“Alright, now where is my next patient?” The doctor said calmly as all gazes were pointed at you.

You sat there wondering what on earth he was going to do. He walked a few steps closer before you see his eyes bulging out. What a strange form of treatment?

“Hmmm I see the issue, you’re exhausted.” Way to go to point out the obvious.

“So, what are you going to prescribe?” Rumi politely asked, feeling as uncomfortable as you were.

“Oh simple! I suggest she just take my tonics and that’ll solve all her solutions!” Such sweet words with no real solution.

“Great.” You said sarcastically.

“Yeah, we’ll take your entire stock!” Zoey eagerly shouted before you can even object.

With a box full of tonics, the four of you make it out the door. You're trying to cheer yourself up by convincing yourself that the tonics might work.

“Shoot, I forgot my cap! You guys go ahead; I’ll catch up with you.” You quickly sprinted back to not waste any more time around this weird clinic.

While you were gone, you would have never imagined stumbling across those guys again. Only this time, instead of being relieved to see them, anger poured into you.

Rumi was on the ground and judging by how Mira and Zoey were staring at them, they were the cause of it.

“Rumi! Are you okay?” You frantically ran over to help her.

As your back was turned, the girls couldn’t help noticing how all their eyes laid directly onto you. And that’s when they also saw those familiar dreaded marks. Demons.

“Yeah, I’m fine, no worries.” Rumi tried acting like her usual self while brushing off the dirt and dust off her clothes.

“Y/N? Do you know these girls?” This was a little worrying for the girls to hear.

How in the world do they know your name?

“Last time I checked I don’t tell–” You couldn’t even finish your sentence as your head started to pang.

The pain was so unbearable that your hands pressed harshly against your temples.

“Ughh!” You shook your head to make the images and voices go away. “Shut up! Shut up! Enough about Jinu!”

Your voice was low, but all the guys heard it as clear as day.

“Come on, let’s get out of here.” Mira grumpily said as she helped you up.

Mira and Zoey stand protectively by your side as Rumi stood behind to carry the box of tonics. They’ll let them off the hook for now as your well-being is their main concern.

“Stay away from her.” Rumi warned as she walked away.

“She said it. She said my name?” Jinu asked himself, almost believing that this had to be some cruel dream.

“It seems like her encounters with you have brought her memories back.” Mystery concluded.

Neither Jinu nor the rest of the guy's heeded Rumi’s warnings. Instead, they amped up their encounters with you. Every time you see them, they trigger more flashbacks. It was like you were reliving a previous past life of yours.

However, you were still in the dark about the whole hunter and demon situation between the two bands. You simply see the Saja boys as a rival band, nothing more than that. Rumi, Mira, and Zoey did not have the same sentiment. They seem to be extra clingy lately by staying over at your house for a very long overstayed sleep over.

“Okay– spill it! What are you guys hiding from me?” You're at your breaking point.

“What? What are you talking about?” Rumi, Mira, and Zoey all smiled suspiciously.

“You girls have been acting all strange since the Saja boys made their debut.” You had your arms folded as you sat crisscrossed.

“Should we tell her?” Zoey’s eyes pleaded with Rumi and Mira.

With a heavy sigh let out, Rumi told you everything. They expected you to freak out, but you didn’t say anything or moved anywhere. It was like you froze.

“Y/N? Are you mad at us?” Rumi asked as she sat next to you.

“I can’t believe you girls kept this all from me.” Your gaze was glued to your lap.

“We’re sorry but we had to.” Mira tried explaining.

“But I understand why you did it. I’ll keep your secret safe.” To hear this coming from you was a massive breath of fresh air for the girls.

“AHHHHH, WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH!” Zoey busted out crying.

Hugs for everyone!

Just like you promised, you kept your mouth shut. You even took extra caution whenever you see any of the Saja boys. They were quick to pick up on how you acted differently. So now that you knew what they were, they might as well make an official introduction.

“Hey!” Chills run down your spine as you turn around to find Jinu standing a couple of feet away from your doorway. “Can we talk?”

Seems like a no since you quickly twisted your key in and shut the door behind you.

“How cute?” He thought but no mere door was going to stop him from having this talk with you.

He easily teleported inside, cool but freaky.

“Listen, I’m not going to hurt you.” He put his hands up. “I’m just here to talk.”

You want to believe him but after hearing what demons are capable of, you keep your guard up.

“How do I know that I can trust you?” You backed away further.

Each step you moved back, he moved forward.

“You just can. Please.” His pleas were painful to hear. “Just give me a chance.”

His voice echoed in your head as it caused another flashback.

“Fine! Fine, but after this, y-you better leave me alone! Or else I’ll call the hunters on you!” You tried threatening him even though you were trembling like a leaf blown by the wind.

“Take my hand.” You look at his outstretched hand, contemplating about it for a few seconds before placing your hand in his.

As soon as you did that, your mind was filled with the clearest images of the two of you together.

You were friends? No. It’s got to be something more than that? Not with how he looked at you then and now. Lovers? But that can’t be? Rumi said demons don’t have emotions. Yet the very demon in front of you has no problem showing his most vulnerable side to you.

“So, we were lovers in the past?” You hesitantly said, hand dropping out of his grasp.

“Yes.” Jinu watched you closely.

“Why did you become a demon?” You started crying, not because you wanted to, it was just something that your body did on its own.

The overwhelming sadness you felt wasn’t yours. It had to be from the past version of you.

“I was consumed by greed, and I left you…” He admitted, unable to keep the truth away from you. “But I won’t make the same mistake twice. You don’t need to love me. You can even hate me. But please—” It shocked you to see him kneel before you, hands desperately clinging onto yours.

“At least let me be by your side.” Tears ran down his face as he held onto you.

He was crying as if you were the last pillar of hope he could cling onto.

“I-I…” You couldn’t get your words through as you can hear the girls heading your way. “Go now! You need to go!”

“Will you allow me to stay by your side?” He needed an answer right then and there.

He’d much rather die than having to wait another minute to hear your response.

“Fine! Okay you can be by my side! Now go!” He did as you commanded, vanishing into thin air.

“Y/N! Are you okay? We sensed that a demon was near you!” Zoey violently pushed the door open.

“Where is it? Where’s the demon?” Mira angrily shouted.

“Girls, I'm fine. Not a single scratch. See?” You wave them off.

Not fully convinced that the coast was clear, they stormed off to check the other rooms.

“What am I going to do now?” You grumbled to yourself as you sat back down on your couch.
