Chapter 12

Yoosung, Jaehee Kang, H.E

Yoosung: Oh Jaehee, you're still here.

Jaehee Kang: Yoosung, hello.

Jaehee Kang: I still have some things to do.

Yoosung: This late at night?

Yoosung: Must be Jumin's work right?

Jaehee Kang: Yes, as always.

Jaehee Kang: Oh Ha Eun is here.

Yoosung: Hello, Ha Eun!

Yoosung: You haven't slept yet?

H.E: Hey Yoosung, Jaehee.

H.E: Say, do you guys know any room I can rent quick?

Yoosung: Eh...?

Yoosung: Why?

Jaehee Kang: Did something happened with Zen?

....

Yoosung: She didn't reply.....

Jaehee Kang: Did they have an argument or something?

Jaehee Kang: But it's not like them to be like this...

707 has entered the chatroom

707: Oh what's this?

707: Has Ha Eun finally become fed up with Zen's narcissism?

H.E: What?

H.E: Never!

H.E: My Ha Eun will never be as cruel as you, Seven!

707: ?

Yoosung: What?

Jaehee Kang: .....

H.E: Oh, I forget this is Ha Eun's phone.

H.E: I thought it was mine.

Yoosung: Zen, isn't Ha Eun's phone pink in colour? How can you mistake it with yours?!

H.E: Well, Ha Eun's phone is like my own phone and so is mine to her, so yeah....

Jaehee Kang: Where is she now?

H.E: She got an important email I think.

Yoosung: Zen, please log into your own phone. You are making me confused.

H.E: Okay wait.

ZEN has entered the chatroom

ZEN: So, there's this thing with my fan café. Some fans wrote threatening words towards Ha Eun and intended to expose her.

ZEN: Apparently, my fans doesn't really like the idea of me dating a girl. They wanted me to be shared equally towards them, not just with one girl.

Jaehee Kang: So you're sending her away instead of protecting her?

H.E: Oh hi guys, okay let me explain.

H.E: The fans wanted oppa to clarify the situation, I think like making a statement that he's not dating anyone and he'll not date anyone or something because he owes his career to his fans.

H.E: Or else, they'll come to me themselves. Oppa's fans.

ZEN: I would've wanted to act right away but Ha Eun got her new job recruitment. If she's into the spotlight right now, it might affect the decision made.

H.E: I want everything to be purely objective. Not influenced by some rumours.

Yoosung: It's from Zen's fan café right?

Yoosung: Shouldn't Seven be able to track the original poster down?

H.E: I'll let Seven do the technical explaining.

H.E: Oppa, you listen too.

707: *cough* *cough*

707: Hello, ladies and gentlemen~~

707: Are you ready for~~

707: Knight Seven-Zero-Seven!

Yoosung: Seven.....

707: Okay, so when I warned Ha Eun earlier, I haven't done a full research. But I did find out that several days ago, some people appeared on the chat box. They started talking about Zen and girlfriend.

Yoosung: Like?

707: Like I heard that Zen oppa~ has a girlfriend. Isn't he being ungrateful? He owes his career to us.

ZEN: Seven, is this the truth or your heart's say?

707: Who knows? Lolol

H.E: Seven!

707: Oops, okay-okay. It's the truth.

Jaehee Kang: Zen's fans aren't usually like that. I know them.

Yoosung: Oh, lol, of course Jaehee is one of them.

ZEN: I thought so too, my fans used to be very nice and polite.

707: So that's when you need the genius 707!

707: So these people that appears at the chat box, they appear at the same time. Talking about the same thing. It's too much of a coincidence.

Jaehee Kang: So, they fuel the other fan's anger?

Yoosung: Kind of looks like that, right.

707: So, I checked the usernames of these people. Guess what?

ZEN: What?

Yoosung: Yes, what?

707: 1. Redroses

707: 2. Blackdahlia

707: 3. Purpleviolet

707: 4. Whitejasmine

Yoosung: What?

Jaehee Kang: They're all name of flowers and colours

707: 100 points to Jaehee!

ZEN: So, we can confirm these are the same person? Just because they are too lazy coming up with username ideas.

H.E: But now, Seven couldn't pinpoint their location yet, so we'll have to wait.

ZEN: So, we agreed Ha Eun should move out for a while. She needs to lay low, I'll focus on my work so the fans won't have the room to see my private life.

ZEN: I'm just worried if she stays here, what happened if some fans turns out to be waiting in the corner or something?!

Yoosung: Didn't you take down your address from the site already?

Jaehee Kang: Some old fans must've kept it still.

H.E: That's what we thought as well.

ZEN: But I couldn't leave her alone like that. So, we thought if you guys know any landlords personally. So you can come if anything happens.

H.E: Nothing's going to happen, he's just being paranoid.

Yoosung: lol I think Zen always exaggerates everything about you.

707: LOL

ZEN: I'm serious here!

Yoosung: Anyways, shouldn't you ask Jumin about that?

Jaehee Kang: Yes, that's my suggestion. Mr. Han should have some penthouse lying in the wait.

707: Woohoo~ As expected of Mr Chairman!

ZEN: That makes sense, I'll talk to him tomorrow.

ZEN: It's pretty late. Ha Eun, go to bed.

H.E: Bye, everyone.

H.E has left the chatroom

ZEN has left the chatroom

Yoosung: It's been a long way, right.

707: What?

Yoosung: Before Ha Eun's here, Zen won't even talk to Jumin. But now, he can even ask him for a favour.

Jaehee Kang: They're quite good friends now.

Jaehee Kang: I'm happy.

707: Ha Eun's magic :3

Yoosung: Ah, it's pretty late. I should go to bed too.

Yoosung: Goodbye Seven, Jaehee

707: Adios~

Jaehee Kang: Goodnight, Yoosung.

---

Zen hugged Ha Eun's body tight. She turned to face him. Zen has his eyes closed, but Ha Eun knew he wasn't sleeping.

"We'll be fine right?", he asked in a sad tone.

"Of course. Everything will be just fine."

Ha Eun moves in closer and rests her head on Zen's warm chest, listening to the calming rhythm of his heart as she wanders to her sleep.

Jumin, of couse, was the one that offered an empty penthouse of his. Amazingly, he got it all ready in 3 days' time. Ha Eun, instead, was not ready to move out in 3 days, so everyone's help was enrolled. It was a Saturday morning, where everyone was miraculously free in their schedule.

"Good morning!"

"Ohayo~"

Seven and Yoosung popped at the door, first thing in the morning. Ha Eun, with her messy tied up hair and simple t-shirts and shorts greeted them.

"You've started.", said Seven, noticing her tired look.

"Since yesterday. I just realized how much stuff I have.", said Ha Eun.

"But you're not bringing everything, right. It's just 2 months.", said Yoosung.

"I'm trying not to bring everything. Oppa kept saying 'don't you need this or that', and I'm became worried as well."

"Typical Zen.", replied Seven.

Yoosung inspected the apartment. It has changed so much since he last was here. When was the last time he was here? Seven, was quite amazed himself. He never thought the place to feel.... very warm and very loving.

"Oh, this place changed a lot!", exclaimed Yoosung.

"You've been here?", asked Ha Eun.

"Hmm.... I don't quite remember. But it's super tidy even though there are a lot of things around! Unlike me and Seven's!"

The apartment was indeed filled with stuffs since 2 people live in it, one a narcissist that totally cares for his looks and a diligent bookworm. Ha Eun's work desk was placed near the corner, the most logical and less crowded space. It became her work corner since she placed all her books and things there. Even the bedroom became crowded because they had to buy new wardrobe. Ha Eun tries her best to minimalize space and all. At least the apartment won't look stuffy.

Yoosung saw an artwork in one of the walls. A frame, inside was photos, mostly of Ha Eun's, taken candidly. The others are Zen's selfie or the two of them together.

"Oh, this is so cute!", said Yoosung.

"Zen's skill has improved. Turns out he's not just good at getting his picture taken.", continued Seven.

"Of course!"

Zen emerged from the couple's bedroom with a storage box.

"Oh, don't you think we should have breakfast first?", asked Ha Eun.

"Yeah right. We need energy to work.", replied Zen.

"Yay! Food!", followed Yoosung happily.

Seven trotted along to the now-crowded dining room.

"Seven, eat something too. Don't eat Honey Buddha Chips all the time.", said Ha Eun.

"Yes, ma'am."

Yoosung looked at both Ha Eun and Seven in disbelief, Ha Eun just gave straight orders to Seven, and he was okay with it!

The doorbell rang again.

"It must be Jaehee, I'll get it.", said Zen.

Yoosung helps Ha Eun prepare the plates while Ha Eun plates the dishes. Most of the cutleries was bought in couples, so there's only 2 piece for each style.

"Couple things... I want to have a girlfriend too!", cried Yoosung as he places the cutleries.

Seven inspected the dishes Ha Eun had prepared in front of him.

"Wow, proper Korean breakfast.", he said in amazement.

"Hello everyone.", greeted Jaehee.

"Look now, we couldn't fit everyone at the table.", said Zen.

The wooden table was a small table fit for four people, Ha Eun and Zen never have guests in the apartment so everything was made just for the two of them.

"It's okay, Ha Eun and I can squeeze in."

Yoosung, clearly elated with the fact that he got to eat a proper Korean breakfast complete with side-dishes, soup and everything, filled his belly as much as he can and expresses his joy all the time. Jaehee was made full just by looking at the amount of food he ate. Seven kept making fun of Yoosung for eating like a pig. Zen kept telling the annoying two to tone it down, even though he actually contributed to the hustle bustle of the table.

Ha Eun saw the people around her, eating the food she made, talking happily, in her home, she thought to herself, how lucky was her to be living this dream. Zen somehow, saw her blissful look, and smiled back at her.

Seven saw the two and he made a melancholic smile inside.

The real packing starts when Jaehee took the lead, since out of all the people in the apartment, Jaehee was the one with the soundest mind of them all.

Yoosung and Seven was tasked with Ha Eun's work corner, with Jaehee's help. Ha Eun and Zen was told by Jaehee to finish up packing necessary clothes in 2 hours. Jaehee emphasizes the word 'necessary' to Zen, making sure he gets her point and stop exaggerating, at least for this time.

Yoosung bend his torso upward, his bones making cracking sounds with it. He has been bending downward placing books into boxes. He was amazed at how good Ha Eun had taken care of her medical books and he had peeked inside one of them and found Ha Eun wrote detailed notes inside the books.

Seven kept getting distracted at Ha Eun's book collection, other than academic books, Ha Eun kept a variety of children's books. Certainly a weird combo, but that's what makes it interesting. Seven would sit and read, until Jaehee comes and told him to continue his task.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Ha Eun was folding and placing clothes into her luggage. Zen had opened all the doors of the wardrobe and probably took out almost every piece of clothing Ha Eun had.

"Hey, do you want to bring one or two shirts of mine with you?", asked Zen.

"Necessary, Jaehee kept saying that.", groans Ha Eun.

"Well, if you get lonely at nights, you can wear my shirt and imagine I was there holding you."

Ha Eun giggles at Zen's words. Everytime.

"Because I would miss you like crazy every night!", complains Zen.

"You'll still have my shirts here."

"Umm, I'll look at your photos every night and close my eyes and imagine I was touching you, feeling you."

Zen closes his eyes and smiles with delight. Ha Eun's not sure how he'll survive a day without hearing from her.

Yoosung walks through the open door, looking for Zen.

"Hyung, I packed the books into the cardboard boxes. I think they're very heavy, the cardboard might tear off! Do you have any ropes or anything?", asked Yoosung.

Yoosung walked through the open doors of the wardrobe, amazed at Zen's collection. Celebrities does have it different.

"I don't know, I'll look for something to help.", said Zen.

Zen was going to leave the room, when Yoosung picked up a thing that petrifies both Ha Eun and Zen.

"Hey hyung there's a rope here! Oh, I've never seen a rope in red colour. Why do you keep a rope in a wardrobe anyway?"

All those dancing, acting, singing, trained Zen to be fast. He moved as fast as he can to grab the red jute rope from Yoosung.
