Mauja’s dream of being a mother dies along with her stillborn first cubs. That same night, the heartbroken lioness stumbles – quite literally – upon an orphaned baby cheetah.
Two choices lay before her: End the cub’s misery. Or adopt him.
Unable to bear seeing the loss of young life again that night, Mauja does what would be unthinkable to her pride sisters. She takes the cheetah baby as her own son. Now, she must face new challenges. The pride will not accept her or her son. And worse yet, she finds out quickly that raising a cheetah in lion ways may spell doom for him when he grows up.
Mauja has one hope left. She must find a mysterious pride of lions called the Mahari. A pride who, the stories say, possess a special, powerful secret that may help her. Mauja knows her father was a Mahari lion. She bears the marks near her eyes – Mahari’s tears – to prove it. But are the stories about the Mahari actually true?
The path ahead for Mauja is uncertain. Finding the Mahari means she must leave her pride, her home, and everything she’s ever known. And what if the stories aren’t true?
What if the risk and dangers are too great?
Mauja, with her cheetah son Ṣìkẹ́mi, must choose to make that leap of faith. Will they land safely on the other side?

I have a fully formed headcanon based on this scene.
After breakfast, sometime around lunch Haein sees Hyunwoo walking in their room, rubbing his chest cause he's getting heart burn from the espresso he drank on an empty stomach. 'Serves him right' she thinks and so she proceeds to tease him mercilessly. He doesn't give in pretending he's fine, acting all cold with her through the pain.
A little while later after his phone call with his friend, he sees korean heartburn medicine that he usually takes laid out for him on the table. He can't help the smile that takes permanent residence on his face.

hello, since you did a mitski+gaang post, which mitski songs would you associate with yangchen, kavik and korrasami?
i should’ve done these in chronological order by album but I didn’t so please excuse the disjointedness. also this got kind of long so im putting it under a readmore…
“i’m your man” is SUCH a kavik & kalyaan and asami & hiroshi song. ugh
“bug like an angel” korra alone anthem
also “i don’t like my mind”
“when memories snow” is so yangchen and her past lives…
“the frost” kavik/yangchen breakup song (you’re my best friend, now i have no one to tell, of how i lost my best friend)
“I love me after you” asami & hiroshi and also korra & zaheer song (they’re king of all the land!!!)
“remember my name” is THEE ultimate korra song to me.
“me and my husband” is also an asami & hiroshi song. to me.
“a pearl” is such a yangchen and her past lives song….. (nobody told me it ended)
“why didn’t you stop me” the kavik/yangchen post-betrayal breakup anthem
“old friend” is a mako & korra & asami song…. reconciling with your ex moments
“come into the water” is so asami needing korra to make the first move…. (maybe i’m the same as all those men writing songs of all their dreaming…)
“liquid smooth” is also. you guessed it. an asami & hiroshi song.
as, of course, is “wife.”
“abbey” is another extremely existential korra song about legacy and identity
“brand new city” is asami’s internal monologue but she just never shows it
“pearl diver” is the ultimate chaisee song ever. i know you didn’t ask about her but like. this is THE chaisee song. if you even care
“real men” obviously another asami & hiroshi song. of course
“fireworks” is a korra song bc it’s literally the depression anthem of all time and, well.
“my body’s made of crushed little stars” is also a korra (alone) song. she’s not doing anything!
“a burning hill” is also an asami & hiroshi song. you might be thinking i’m insane at this point, but then i invite you to remember. that yasuko was literally killed by fire.
“goodbye my danish sweetheart” obviously a kavik/yangchen breakup song (kavik’s pov of course) i mean duh.
“strawberry blond” asami pining for korra moments…..
“class of 2013” another korra alone song and god what a song it is!
“valentine, texas” is a yangchen/kavik song no i will not elaborate on that
“working for the knife” WOULD be an asami song if lok understood that capitalism is bad. and yet. alas.
“stay soft” is a yangchen & kavik & chaisee & kalyaan song. naturally.
“everyone” another korra alone song.
“heat lightning” another existential korra song.
“the only heartbreaker” another kavik/yangchen breakup song from kavik’s pov
“texas reznikoff” is sooo korrasami (but i’ve been everywhere and it’s not what i want… i wanna be still with you…)
“first love / late spring” is, again, an asami & hiroshi (and kavik & kalyaan) song
“francis forever” is a korrasami and yangvik pining from a distance anthem
“I don’t smoke” is soooo asami & hiroshi and kavik & kalyaan. sorry
“jobless monday” yet another korra alone anthem
“I will” is SOOO korrasami it’s like the korrasami thesis statement
“carry me out” yangchen & korra (and every avatar’s) existential crisis moments. also a perfect note to end on bc it’s my favorite mitski song <3
