Zoey Breaks the Internet
HUNTR/X never has a true "day off", but with their touring put on hold, they could at least enjoy some relaxing mornings before all the interviews and fan events. Mira had taken to exercising on the patio, mixing choreography with her fighting style.
Zoey was in charge of breakfast whilst managing their social media. Casual posts, selfies, memes. She was good at interacting with the fan base on a personal level! Better than the awkward Rumi, or hotheaded Mira.
And after a long night of exhibitionism, Rumi... needed a shower. Something to calm her demonic libido, that had admittedly been running rampant lately. She stood under the hot water, dutifully washing her glorious purple hair, whilst singing softly in Korean.
Not only was the bathroom door wide open, but the shower door was as well! An open invitation for her girls to join her, or to simply watch her bathe, as they often did. She didn't sense anyone eyeing her at the moment... But even so, she made a show of lathering her perky breasts, and swaying her shapely hips under the water.
It felt... Nice. Going from being so private, to having absolutely nothing to hide. At least from the people she loved most. The public still--
A sudden uproar from the kitchen broke the peace! Banging, clattering and Korean curse words! Rumi sprang into action immediately. Wet and naked, she went sprinting into the living room, nearly colliding with Mira, who'd come to investigate as well!
They found the majority of their breakfast splattered on the floor, and an utterly horrified Zoey staring at her phone, as if it were a demonic tiger about to leap at her. Her hands were shaking, eyes wide--
"Zoey..." Mira spoke gently. "What's going on?"
"I..." That one, basic sound made the lyricist choke. "I didn't-- It was supposed to be breakfast. I wanted to post our breakfast. I didn't mean..."
As Mira took the phone from her trembling hands, Rumi moved to her side, gently touching her back. "Hey, deep breaths! Whatever happened, it can't be that bad. Right, Mira?"
Mira... Had the same look as Zoey now. Eyes wide open, mouth slightly agape. She looked between the two, then placed the phone aside and ran her hand through her hair. "Fuck. Fuck, we're done, we're so... Fuck, Zoey!"
Now, Rumi was getting scared. They'd fought supernatural forces, jumped out of planes (whilst rapping), and performed in front of millions of rabid fans. What could possibly have her friends so rattled? She reached for the phone. Zoey immediately reached to stop her, only to pull back and mouth the word, "sorry..."
Zoey's usual morning post.
Billions of views. Likes and reposts climbing faster than she could count. They were trending within minutes. Or rather, Rumi was trending.
Rather than the typical post about breakfast, or memes, or fun facts about turtles, Rumi saw... One of the pictures they'd taken the night before. A provocative, demonic picture that was currently causing the Internet to explode.
A picture of the real Rumi...
