Chapter 8 - Episode 8: "The Ultimatum"

The Huntrix girls and the Saja Boys arrive at the meeting location, a sleek and modern conference room in a high-rise building. They're greeted by Eclipse's manager, a tall and imposing figure with a cold, calculating gaze.

"Ah, welcome," he says, his voice dripping with condescension. "I see you're all here. Good."

Rumi steps forward, her eyes flashing with determination. "What's this meeting about?" she asks, her voice firm.

The manager smiles, a cold and mirthless smile. "Oh, I think you know. You see, Eclipse has been watching you. We've been watching your little performances, your music videos, your social media posts."

Jinu's eyes narrow. "What do you want?" he asks, his voice low and even.

The manager leans forward, his eyes glinting with menace. "We want you to leave the music world. We want you to give up your silly dreams of stardom and fade away into obscurity."

Mira's eyes widen in shock. "Why would we do that?" she asks, her voice trembling.

The manager's smile grows wider. "Because if you don't, we'll make sure you regret it. We'll make sure you face the wrath of Eclipse."

Abby's eyes flash with anger. "You can't threaten us," he says, his voice firm.

The manager chuckles, a cold and mirthless sound. "Oh, but I can. You see, Eclipse has a lot of power and influence in the music industry. We can make or break careers with a single word."

Romance's eyes narrow. "What do you want from us?" he asks, his voice low and even.

The manager leans back in his chair, a self-satisfied smile spreading across his face. "We want you to disband. We want you to give up your music and leave the industry for good."

Baby's eyes widen in shock. "You can't be serious," he says, his voice trembling.

The manager's smile grows wider. "Oh, but I am. And if you don't comply, we'll make sure you face the consequences."

The group exchanges nervous glances, unsure of what to do next.

But Rumi's determination is unwavering. "We'll never give up," she says, her voice firm. "We'll never back down."

The manager's smile falters for a moment, before he regains his composure. "We'll see about that," he says, his voice dripping with menace.

The meeting ends abruptly, with the manager dismissing the group with a wave of his hand.

As they leave the conference room, the group is left feeling shaken and unsure of what to do next.

But Rumi's determination is infectious, and soon the group is fired up and ready to take on Eclipse.

"We'll show them," Jinu says, his eyes flashing with anger. "We'll show them that we won't back down."

Mira nods, her eyes shining with determination. "We'll keep making music, no matter what they say."

Abby grins, his eyes flashing with mischief. "And we'll make sure they regret ever messing with us."

The group shares a laugh, their spirits lifted by their determination and solidarity.

But as they're walking out of the building, they're confronted by a surprise twist:

A mysterious figure, hidden in the shadows, is watching them.

"Looks like you've got a new problem," the figure says, their voice low and menacing.

The group spins around, trying to see who's speaking.

But the figure remains hidden, their identity a mystery.

Later that night, Jinu and Rumi meet at the garden of their house, the moonlight casting a silver glow over the lush greenery...

Later that night, Jinu and Rumi meet at the garden of their house, the moonlight casting a silver glow over the lush greenery.

Rumi sits down on a bench, her eyes fixed on Jinu as he stands before her.

"Jinu," Rumi says, her voice barely above a whisper. "I want to sing something for you."

Jinu's eyes narrow, his expression curious. "What is it?"

Rumi takes a deep breath, her eyes shining with emotion. "It's our song, 'FREE'."

Jinu's eyes widen, a look of surprise crossing his face.

Rumi begins to sing:

[Verse 1: Rumi]

I tried to hide but something broke

I tried to sing, couldn't hit the notes

The words kept catching in my throat

I tried to smile, I was suffocating though

But here with you, I can finally breathe

You say you're no good, but you're good for me

I've been hoping to change, now I know we can change

But I won't if you're not by my side

As Rumi sings, Jinu's eyes glaze over, his expression frozen in concentration.

And then, suddenly, his eyes snap back into focus, a look of shock crossing his face.

"Rumi," Jinu whispers, his voice trembling with emotion.

Rumi's eyes meet Jinu's, a soft smile spreading across her face.

"I remember," Jinu says, his voice barely above a whisper. "I remember everything."

Rumi's smile grows wider, her eyes shining with happiness.

Jinu takes a step forward, his eyes locked on Rumi's.

And then, in a voice filled with emotion, Jinu begins to sing:

[Verse 2: Jinu]

Ooh, time goes by, and I lose perspective

Yeah, hope only hurts, so I just forget it

But you're breaking through all the dark in me

When I thought that nobody could

And you're waking up all these parts of me

That I thought were buried for good

Rumi's eyes light up, a smile spreading across her face.

And then, together, Jinu and Rumi sing the chorus:

[Chorus: Rumi & Jinu]

Why does it feel right every time I let you in?

Why does it feel like I can tell you anything?

We can't fix it if we never face it

What if we find a way to escape it?

As they sing, their voices blend together in perfect harmony.

The music swirls around them, a magical spell that brings them closer together.

And as they finish the song, Jinu and Rumi share a moment of perfect understanding.

Their hearts beating as one, they know that nothing can ever break their bond again.

As they finish the song, Jinu and Rumi's eyes lock, their faces inches apart. The tension between them is palpable, and the air is charged with emotion and they kissed briefly.

"I love you, Rumi," Jinu says, his voice barely above a whisper.

Rumi's eyes shine with tears as she replies, "I love you too, Jinu. Gosh I've waited so long for this and now it happened next time don't jump in to save me like OK?"

Jinu smiled "yes Mi Amor i promise"
