RuJinu (Unpopular opinion)

The debate over the RuJinu kiss scene being edited out at the aquarium has been buzzing in the fandom, and honestly, I have a lot of feelings about it! While the original post touched on Sony's decision, let's dive deeper into why this moment was so anticipated and what it means for our beloved characters, Rumi and Jinu. From a fan perspective, a kiss between Rumi and Jinu at that particular moment, especially with the tender dialogue captured by the OCR – "You should let your hair down sometimes, Rumi." and "As far as I'm concerned, you're just as beautiful with the cracks showing." – would have been incredibly powerful. It speaks volumes about vulnerability and acceptance. Rumi letting her hair down isn't just about a change in hairstyle; it symbolizes her dropping her guard, showing her true, unvarnished self to Jinu. And Jinu's response, acknowledging her beauty with "the cracks showing," implies a profound level of acceptance and love that goes beyond superficial attraction. This kind of intimate exchange is exactly what fans crave and often turn into beautiful 'rujinu drawing' fan art, capturing these tender moments. Many of us were longing for that 'rujinu kissing' moment to solidify Jinu's redemption arc. Was he 'good enough' yet? The original article raises a valid point about his journey not being complete until the very end. But perhaps, that raw, imperfect kiss could have been a catalyst, a sign of mutual growth and trust, rather than a final destination. It's the kind of complex emotional beat that makes a 'ship' like RuJinu so compelling. The passion for this duo runs deep, leading to all sorts of fan theories and hopes. When fans search for things like 'rujinu sex' or 'rujinu pregnant,' it's often a way of exploring the ultimate expression of intimacy and commitment for characters they've grown to love. It's about envisioning their future, their family, and the enduring nature of their bond, illustrating how deeply invested the community is in their story beyond what's shown on screen. These are not just casual inquiries; they represent a desire to see RuJinu's relationship evolve into something truly lasting and profound. So, while Sony's decision might have been about preserving Jinu's character arc for a longer play, I can't help but wonder what emotional depth that aquarium scene, with Rumi's hair down and their embrace, could have added. It would have served as a powerful emotional anchor, leaving us with a tangible sign of their burgeoning connection. Here's hoping if there's a sequel, we get to see their relationship, and Rumi's journey of vulnerability, explored even further!
