Zen looked away from the window in the taxi and back at his love. She was sound asleep beside him, but curled up against the adjacent window. It was peaceful in here, nothing but the sounds of tires against road and the muffled sounds of the city.

 

Yes it truly was peaceful. No wonder she had fallen asleep. He laughed a little. “Sleep tight, ae-in. You're going to need it. We have a big day ahead of us tomorrow.” He took his jacket placing it over her like a makeshift blanket. “No worries though, either. It'll be a long drive before we get there. So you have time to rest.”

 

Zen glanced back out the window resting his chin in his palm. He watched the city pass by, trying to take it in. It would be his last time seeing it after all, for awhile anyway. He tried not to focus on it too much anyway. He had big stuff waiting for him. He had scored a big role in a movie. One that would skyrocket him to popularity. The thing was in order to be closer to where it would be filmed, it was much more practical move. He would miss the others honestly, but he was excited as well!

 

He didn't move around much, but despite that was interested in what he heard about this new area. It seemed really nice and apparently a lot of the more creative types moved there. Musicians, Artists, Writers and actors like himself. It was a nice thought, being around types that got his way of thinking and lifestyle. Still though, he really would miss the others.

 

Even the dumb trust fund brat...

 

After all despite the problems they had, it was apparently his idea to throw a little going away party for him and his sleeping lover. Jumin denied it of course, but he was the one paying for this ride. Paid for the best place in the new area as well.

 

He would have to thank him once they got there and settled everything.

 

Zen watched his lover and she mumbled to herself in her sleep and turned over. He smiled and giggled a bit. “You're so cute, almost as cute as me.” He teased to no one in particular. “...That's a lie. You're always gonna be cuter than me.” He let himself laugh a little.

 

Jumin was really nice about everything. It took me totally off guard. I feel kind of bad leaving everyone behind. I mean...we'll always have the chatroom, but it'll be awhile until we can see them again in person like that. You'll never hear me say it loud, but I think I'll miss that trust fund kid a lot. I'll have to be nicer to him now, be a little more forgiving when he gets all annoying and spoiled.” Zen pouted a bit huffing at the thought. His pride was on the line here! Admitting Jumin wasn't so bad sucked to have to do!

 

Still his bruised pride was gradually alleviated as he looked at her. He smiled at her. “Even though I'm sad about leaving...I'm happy I get to live with you like this. It's like we're husband and wife starting a life together...” He laughed nervously scratching his cheek. “Dumb idea right? Already thinking about that, I feel pretty silly.”

 

Zen leaned in before he even fully realized it. “I hope you'll consider it though. Someday soon would be best...” He lightly held her free hand, and kissed her forehead gently. “I'll be sure to treat you in the morning sweetheart.” He said.

 

His love shifted making Zen jump back a bit in surprise. She looked at him still half asleep. “Hmmm...what were you saying, Zen?” She mumbled softly.

 

Zen shook his head smiling warmly at her. “Nothing. Go back to sleep angel.” He gently rubbed her back. “I'll let you know when we get there.” She stared back at him with those cute sleepy eyes, then fell back to sleep without another word. Zen stared at her a bit longer, stroking her cheek, then leaning back towards his side again staring out the window at the passing city. Everything got more and more unfamiliar as they went.

 

With her by his side though, he wasn't afraid.

 

A new start with her would actually make him the happiest man alive.
