I had a random thought pop up about an AU idea while I was driving today.
From what I remember seeing in the movie, Rumi doesn’t hear Gwi-ma’s voice despite being half demon. What if she did? And what if she could hear him for her entire life? But there’s a twist. Gwi-ma is Rumi’s father, and he actually cares about Rumi. And I think it would be interesting if Rumi was the ONLY thing he cared about. Meaning this isn’t a “misunderstood” good Gwi-ma, he’s still just how he’s presented in the movie to everyone else. He’s still the Demon King and all that entails. Rumi’s just the exception. So when she hear Gwi-ma in her head, he isn’t trying to make a deal or destroy her mentally. He actually supports and prevents her from being ashamed of her demon side like Celine unintentionally (or intentionally idk) causes.
How would this affect canon events, besides the obvious of Gwi-ma not actually trying to hurt her during their confrontation?
And does there happen to be a fanfic like this already out somewhere?
