ZEN has entered the chatroom

H.E: Hey guys!

H.E: Me and oppa got news for everyone.

Yoosung: Are you guys expecting?

ZEN: NO YOOSUNG

ZEN: NOT YET

H.E: We're engaged!

ZEN: *photo*

Jaehee Kang: Congratulations for you two!

Jumin Han: Congratulations.

Yoosung: So jealoussssssss

Yoosung: What took you so long to propose, Zen?

Yoosung: This is just bound to happen.

ZEN: Shut up, Yoosung

ZEN: Find a girlfriend to understand

Zen had taken Ha Eun to see his father after the proposal. Her father was in tears, that Zen was afraid if he's angry or happy. But he was happy and keep on telling Zen to keep her happy.

Next visit was to Zen's parents. Well, after several family meal, Zen's parent had known they are going to marry someday. They both wished the couple well and happy life.

The last place to visit that day was Zen's secret place, it's no longer a secret for Ha Eun since he took her there the first times of their relationship for all his secret is hers.

For Ha Eun, that day, everything was so intimately beautiful. Maybe it was the proposal that changed her heart a bit. Seeing the city from above, it's the same city, all these time it's the same. But on that day, she thought the view was breathtakingly beautiful.

"Don't make such beautiful face, or else I'll have to kiss you.", said Zen.

"Kiss me then."

With a giggle, Ha Eun got pulled into Zen's embrace and he kissed her deeply.

"Hey, we forgot to tell them.", said Ha Eun.

"Let's take a photo first."

Zen angled his camera and asked Ha Eun to show her ring to the camera while the two of them kissed in the background.

"As expected from the selfie master.", commented Ha Eun.

The group chat was the last to receive the announcement. Different story with Zen's social media, they'll have to wait.

"So what now?", asked Ha Eun.

---

Zen whipped up a quick oatmeal breakfast for himself. The apartment window is closed to the dusk sky outside. Wait, is it dinner or breakfast?

He couldn't really belief himself as he is now eating multi-grain oatmeal for breakfast, the him before would not even care of having proper breakfast. Not even, such nutritious one. This only happened because Ha Eun urged him too.

The air is quite chilly but he's unbothered even though he was shirtless. He couldn't find his shirt, to be exact. Maybe he was too much before.

He already got Ha Eun pinned to the wall even before they reach the bedroom door. And had continued his assault till several hours ago. He counted mentally how many times had they done it. And maybe he was too mean as well. He can recall Ha Eun telling him to stop several times or maybe a lot of times, out of pleasure of course, but well when Zen is in beast mode, such words only fuel his desire.

He took the bowl and stood by the bedroom door, watching the sleeping Ha Eun. How can someone be that captivating in his eyes? She's just sleeping there.

He just draped the blanket over her before leaving the room and now she had rolled to his side of the bed and half of her body was exposed to the air.

His mind wanders, people become more emotional at night, they said. He was just a struggling actor before, living for himself and by himself. He refused help from others and thought he can conquer the world by himself. And now he is marrying someone. A wonderful person, nonetheless. How did he end up so far?

His career and fame is increasing, he is financially stable, probably because he doesn't have to support Ha Eun, which deep down in Zen's heart, he still thinks she made more than him. Committing his whole life to her, starting a family with her too.

Would the old him imagine his life would turn out like this? The old him would certainly not think about having children. While Zen had already thought about children the day he meet Ha Eun. Well, their children would be perfect, as brainy as the mother and as beautiful as the father.

Zen's face was filled with smile with the thought.

He washed the bowl before returning to bed and embrace his soon to be wife.

---

Zen wore his coat and kissed Ha Eun goodbye.

"I really don't want to leave.", he said.

"Go, you have talks with the company."

"I'll be back real quick."

"No, I won't be home, I got work too."

He kissed her by each sentence and lastly kissed the ring on her hand.

"My wife."

"Soon."

Ha Eun wanted to look for her work bag, her body instinctively went to the piano that used to be her work corner. She found it in the dining table.

Her phone rings so she ran the other way instead.

"Oh Seven."

"Hey. Congratulations for the engagement."

"Thank you. We didn't hear from you yesterday."

"I'm sorry. I have other things to do."

"Ohh..."

"Look, I want to tell you something."

"What is it?"

"I'm going somewhere."

"Going where?"

"Somewhere."

"When are you coming back?"

"I'm not."

Ha Eun froze a bit. She couldn't really believe this flat voice belongs to the cheerful Seven.

"Why?", she asked again.

"I have to go."

"Seven! Wait!"

"Saeyoung."

"What?"

"My name."

Seven ended the call just like that, and he's not answering when she called him back.

There is one place she needed to go.

---

If Vanderwood wasn't expecting this, he would immediately go into attack mode. The door to be banged open like that, as if a bomb blew off at the door.

"Saeyoung!"

He thought to himself thank goodness the gate was a heavy weight one, if everyone were to open doors like her, she'll break the door after a week.

"Vanderwood?", Ha Eun called," Where is he?"

"He's gone."

"WHERE!"

"I can't tell you.", Vanderwood answered calmly.

Ha Eun looked around the bunker. Empty. She would be grateful if she can find at least a tiny chips crumb. Just one. Just let her have hope.

"He's still here, right? He just doesn't want to see me.", she said again.

"No, he already left."

Vanderwood stood and watched as Ha Eun went back and forth through the whole place. She went to the garage and opened each door of the car. There was nothing, of course. She went back at him, heavy steps.

"Where is he?", she asked again.

"I told you he already left."

"Look, I can keep you alive in pain till you wished you would just die. I can do that until you tell me where he is."

If Vanderwood is not a trained agent, he would run away from this threat. Everything about her screams seriousness.

"I'm sorry I can't tell you."

She pointed a finger at him, with an equally angry look.

"You find him and you bring him to me, or else I'll find you and I will end your life."

Ha Eun took her bag and leave for the door. Vanderwood picks up a white cat robot.

"He left you this.", he called her.

Vanderwood approaches her and lent the robot cat to her hand.

"This?"

"I don't know why that idiot would leave a robot cat for you. He didn't even tell me how to operate it."

"Saeyoung....."

'Switched on! Switched on! Reporting for duty!'

The two were surprised at the robot's sudden sound.

"Oh, so it's voice activated?", said Vanderwood.

'I am programmed to obey my creator's command and Miss Ha Eun's! I am a reflection of my master's personality. I am here to keep Miss Ha Eun company, meow!'

Ha Eun looked at the robot on her hand. Seven had left her something like him, but not himself. She broke down and fell to the ground.

"I don't want this..... I want him...."

---

The unification between Zen the Knight and his brave Princess Ha Eun, of course needs to be special. They had a forest themed wedding, something rustic and calming just like Zen's hair. The wedding was quiet, closed off to media and such, with only close family and friends were to attend.

Zen's fanclub was on fire when Zen posted the engagement photo on his SNS. Most of them supports the couple especially after Ha Eun's stabbing incident. Lots of wedding gift was sent to the apartment when the news of the wedding finally came out, several days after the real wedding. And the two had already went on to their honeymoon.

When they got home, there was another surprise waiting for them.

"Meowy, I'm home."

The white robot cat, rolled to greet the two at the door.

'Miss Ha Eun! You got a message!'

"Oh, you can receive messages now?", said Zen.

Zen was very understanding about the robot, he knows that Seven likes cats, of course. And it's like they have an enhanced pet that doesn't need all the foods and the upkeep. It's quite helpful sometime too.

"Who is it from?", asked Ha Eun.

'A message from my master! It's a.....'

Zen looked at Ha Eun, knowing that she's a bit sensitive when it's about Seven. He saw her pupils dilate when the robot said out an address.

"That's close from here.", said Zen.

"Come on, we should go."

The moment seemed to pass by slowly as Zen run behind Ha Eun, his hand tightly held by her, her hair flowing with each movement in front of his face. Does he want her to go? She's his isn't she? Should Zen let her mind be preoccupied by Seven that much?

The address was an apartment building not far from theirs, the robot said that the meeting point is the parking lot, complete with the name of the lot.

And what awaits them was.

"A car?", asked Zen.

On the lot mentioned, was a black car. Zen doesn't need to look it up to know it's one of those luxury supercars. Totally Seven's taste.

Ha Eun gave no comment but instead went inside the car. Zen followed her as she sat on the driver's seat.

"He left a letter.", she said as she waves a paper.

"Are you going to comment about the car?", asked Zen as he leaned at the car.

As much as Zen is overwhelmed about the car, he was checking Ha Eun as she read the letter. The letter only has 2 lines of sentence, but she seemed to be looking at it like it was a fully written letter.

"Is this ours?", asked Zen again.

"Seems like so. I need to ask the security if they saw Seven."

Zen stops Ha Eun before she took a step out of the car.

"Don't. If he wants us to find him, he'll be here. Wrapping this car in a big ribbon or something. Filling the back with HoneyBuddha or PhD Pepper. But he's not here. You have to let him go."

Ha Eun took another breath and held Zen's hand.

"Maybe you're right."

---

"What should I wear?"

Ha Eun has several dresses draped on the bed, while Zen was already fixing his hair.

"Anything. You'll look great."

"I'm not like you where people have an entire row of clothes for you to wear."

Zen took out a black straight dress with buttons on the side and placed it in front of his wife.

"This."

"It's not too formal?"

"No. Trust me."

As Zen walks by Ha Eun can smell a different fragrance from him.

"Is this the new perfume?"

"Yes, they finally finished it. It's good right? Come on, take a whiff."

Ha Eun approaches Zen, but gives him a light kiss on the lips instead.

"I prefer the real thing."

Zen gave a naughty smirk, maybe he can cross off that 'quickie in the dressing room' from his bucket list.

Today's photoshoot was for a perfume collaboration a brand did with Zen. For some reason, Zen really wanted her to come. She complied because they just got back from their honeymoon and maybe Zen still wants to be clingy before she really have to return to work.

Behind the flashing lights of the camera, she watched as Zen easily switches poses, each equally glorious and eminent. He is an all-rounder player, Ha Eun is awed by his skills in everything.

Behind the flashing lights of the camera, for Zen there is only one thing that shines brighter than it and his eyes will look back at her after every shot.

"Miss Ha Eun?"

A make-up artist tapped Ha Eun on her shoulder.

"Oh yes?"

"Can you come here for a second? I need to do your make-up. And you can start changing after that."

"What? Me?"

---

Jaehee stopped at the sidewalk, looking up at the big television propped on one of the buildings.

'XX Brand is releasing their newest line of fragrances in collaboration with actor ZEN, who recently shocked the world with news of his wedding. He introduces his wife as the model in this line.'

The image changed into a photo with the name of the fragrance line written on the bottom of it. 'ZEN: Fire and Ice'. Jaehee can see some of the passers-by stops and gasps. She's already in for the surprise. The cover shoot was a shot of Zen and of course, Ha Eun. They were standing close to each other, lips mere inches away, eyes locked tightly into each other. Zen's arm was placed possessively on the small of her back, while Ha Eun's hand was holding Zen's muscular arm.

The photo retouched Zen's hair to be more cool-coloured and his eyes more fire-coloured. And of course, their wedding rings was emphasized.

"Ha Eun really came off with a bang.", mumbled Jaehee.
