#aru x mook

[gamatcqcumber]

So close, yet so far...

Details about how I thought out this artwork below!

So, those who have read refund high might see something familiar with the posing and composition. Your hunch is correct since I based it off the umbrella hand kiss scene near the end of the webtoon!

Since Aru wouldn't just raise her hand up like that, I put a butterfly there to imply that she let it rest on her hand. As she does that, mook remembers the scene in the rain and reenacts it since I'm sure he misses Aru's warmth.

Mook can't touch Aru anymore, nor can Aru feel or remember him. But Mook "kisses" her hand anyway. Aru's heart beats loudly without her knowing why.

The fact that this screenshot I've seen a few times is literally a canon RHS scene:

*Recommendation : Webtoon - Refund High School* ***Spoilers***

So, I completed this absolutely beautiful Webtoon I came across in one sitting today afternoon. It has a little less than 150 episodes, but it is a bittersweet and heartwarming saga of Kids stuck in Reincarnation High, a high school in limbo for those who died too young and unfairly, for another shot at life by rebirth and nirvana.

It starts off with a goofy, nineteen year old Aru Kim, quite the ordinary teenager who is killed in a car accident along with three others : Gunn, Seong and Mari. All of them are granted the pass to study at Reincarnation High for next three years, after which depending on their grade they'll be allowed to choose their own life for rebirth. They have absolutely no memory to begin with, but slowly recover them with memory capsules given as rewards, or in their senior year.

Oddly enough, the four who died together wind up together. Joining the girls' gang is Suy Oh. And (my absolute favourite) Mook Lee. They are joined by monsters and humans akin in their three year adventure for redemption and peace.

Spoilers to you guys, but I have found my favourite boy from Webtoon here: Mook. I love how the gang eventually become great friends despite the horrifying accident that tied them together. And yeah, my number one ship: Aru X Mook. Aru gets over her initial shallow obsession with Gunn after a brief relationship (all the while you can spot Mook in the background all throughout), we find Mook is a Sea Serpent, Student council prez Jun who ends up falling for Aru, but moves on with his life for rebirth. All through this I'm rooting for Mook and it takes over hundred episodes for him to finally confess and her to see him that way but you know when they do, it's pure love.

It's at that point I realized that these three years are approaching an end and to be honest, there's no future together for any of them- they all could get separated fast. You remember all this is a temporary space - they're dead. And they will go on living, nothing will cease but nothing will stay together. And it feels very sad, that concept, because there's love blooming in limbo with no real future. I think that was the strongest theme that got to me.

Eventually after a heart-rending test (and a kiss, thank god) and inner conflicts in Mook's heart about joining Aru or to pursue his dream of becoming a dragon to protect his family, a final scene shows their Aru and Mook's destiny: it's different.

But I didn't give up hope yet because of an unexplained action of Mook: he clearly loves Aru but if he chose to not be with her, there must have been an iron clad reason. And there is: everyone gets their shot at a new life, more or less what they wanted and they all reunite in a fateful scene where Aru is once again caught in a road accident. But this time, she doesn't die. Mook saves her. She looks in the air around her and the gang's there and Mook, invisible and beautiful, is in the air around her. It's clear then that Mook sacrificed his opportunity of a human life with Aru for saving her life.

I feel it was quite touching. Yes, it's super cliche, but I really wanted Aru and Mook to get together at least once. It's sad but life goes on (a scary concept to me, to be honest). And a new thought occured to me; Does she fall for Jun? I don't know. But maybe they're all destined to meet once again, properly in death.

(BGM music of Mad Rush by Philip Glass at final ending scene and my poor Shipper heart broken by the sadness made it an intense experience, oh well.)

Other aspects I liked - the grim reaper (also the history teacher. he's super hot), Suy Oh, Dante's sad fate, character development of Mari from a real bitch to someone who sincerely cares. And lastly my boy, Mook. (Lol, not letting go of this one y'all)

I've been rereading RHS for the nth time, unsurprisingly. I have over 20 WIPs for this goddamn Webtoon istg.

But I finally finished one and posted it the other day, so it's time I yap about dragon of my dreams. Aka, my Mook x Aru emotional hurt/comfort one shot that takes place the night of the series epilogue.

This post is long af. Obligatory "Honey, you've got a big storm coming" warning.

So originally this fic was supposed to be somewhat inspired by Mitski's Abbey, specifically this section:

There is a light that I can see But only, it seems, when there's darkness in me There is a dream that I sometimes see That only appears in the dark of sleep

In the end, the only allusion I included to the song at all was this

"… he is the light she sees when the world seems even the tiniest bit dark."

And the whole aspect of them being able to meet in Aru's dreams, which was honestly one of my "Gracie wants her ship to sail, so she'll bend the rules to make it happen" ideas.

The original concept portrayed Mook as only appearing before Aru in his dragon form and remaining completely silent, only showing her his human form and speaking to her for the first time in the dream after he saves her.

I'm too greedy to let that happen, however, and wanted more of an established friendship between the two. So then came the concept of a role reversal hurt/comfort one shot which is described pretty well by the summary.

Aru's oldest friend is a dragon who comforts her in her dreams. After she escapes a potentially fatal traffic incident unharmed, however, Mook is the one who needs comforting.

Mook honestly has such a huge burden by choosing not to reincarnate with Aru. He has to wait (presumably) nineteen years of her life just for one chance to change hers. If I were in that position, I would have so many doubts and worries. What if I'm too late? What if it doesn't work?

And even though he is relieved due to his success, now he might start worrying that he's of no use to Aru anymore. He's served his purpose of protecting her, but at the cost of his happiness.

“'I thought I’d be okay with watching you grow up. And I am so, so glad I can. I’m proud of who you’ve become. But it’s never been enough. Even this, being able to see you here…'”

Aru, despite not knowing anything of their time at Reincarnation High, recognizes that his selflessness is his biggest downfall. He has given everything to protect her, leaving him with little for himself. And, if not for my dream shenanigans, he would be left with nothing but remaining a bystander.

"'... You should make a choice for yourself, even if it's selfish.'”

Then, after some realization on Aru's part that Mook did in fact save her that morning, Aru asks him,

“'Why did you decide you needed to rescue me in the first place?'”

And it leads into the self-indulgent scene where Mook manipulates Aru's dream into some critical moments within their relationship. In order, these are:

The hand kiss scene from ep. 129

The Red Eclipse Festival dance scene from ep. 85

A scene from the Trip to Hell arc from ep. 48

The two flying above the garden in ep. 120

Mook's confession scene from ep. 104

The hair clip scene from ep. 52 (this one is a lot more subtle than the others but still included)

The balcony scene from ep. 130

And yes, I have screenshots of all of them...

Listing them out is a little jarring since, at first glance, they might seem like they have little to no correlation with each other.

And there's even more self-indulgence when Aru, because she's Aru, still doesn't understand why. Mook gives his reasoning (because he loves her), effectively freaking Aru out enough for her to wake up before she can actually respond.

And my final quote:

"Love is something I can try and understand. And if you do love me, Mook… you can have all of me, if that's what you really want."

Again, I'm really happy with how this fic turned out! I miss RHS so much, and I'll definitely be releasing more fan content for this series in the (hopefully) near future. And maybe one day I'll end up adding a second part going further into this concept because I think it's cute.

For those who read the fic or make it to the end of this post, thank you and stay safe! :)
