Zen (Hyun Ryu) from Mystic Messenger

"Hey, Zen, are you alright? You look a bit... lonely." Yoosung texted as he looked at the new profile picture of the famous man. Zen chuckled a bit as he looked at the message, smiling to himself a bit as he replied.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry."

Zen placed his phone on his table as he stared up at the ceiling. Did he look lonely? He chuckled to himself. Of course he did, he could see the shadows on his own face. All his coworkers told him he looks different now, not the same as his usual self.

Not to mention that he's started losing weight and sleep, he's not showing up to work all the time. Honestly, people were starting to worry about him, and he didn't blame them. But all of that was going to change tonight.

He glanced at his clock, smiling to himself as he got up, grabbing his phone and wallet as he left his apartment. He decided to walk this time, enjoying the day sky fall into night. Streetlights flickered on as couples walked hand in hand down the street. With each step he took, he felt his heart lifting up and his spirits seeming to fly.

He got to a restaurant with sparkling lights as he smiled, going inside. The hostess led him over to the table he reserved. His heart was fluttering.

Soon, so very soon, he would be complete.

He sat at his table, his leg twitching nervously as he waited. He shouldn't have shown up so early. But if he didn't, he might have ended up late and he really didn't want that. But just sitting here was making him antsy, he couldn't stand it...!

Just as he was quickly downing his glass of water, something brushed against the back of his neck, a hand placing itself on his shoulder as something soft pressed on his cheek. His eyes brightened as he looked up, seeing you standing there in a stunning red dress.

"(Y/N), I'm glad you could make it." He smiled as he stood up, kissing your cheek as he went to pull your chair out for you.

"Of course, I wouldn't miss this for the world." You smiled at him, sitting down. "Though I didn't except this meeting to be so fancy." You chuckled a bit as his face went a bit red.

"W-well... I wanted to ask you something tonight that recalls having such fanciness."

"Oh? And what is that? I'm normally the one with the questions."

The albino's face went even redder as he looked away. "I'll tell you later, let's just enjoy ourselves for now, alright?"

You chuckled again and nodded. "Alright then, Hyun. We'll do it your way tonight."

You were a new reporter in the city, and had lucked out on getting an interview with Zen a few months ago. Since then, you became his favorite reporter and the only one from your company that he'd allow to have interviews with. You didn't just see him as a famous star, but as a human as well. It was a shock at first when you didn't completely melt at the sight of him, but it soon became very refreshing. The interviews became a regular habit after a while, meeting up twice a month for updates on not only his life, but yours as well. He would answer one of your questions only if you answered one of his first. 

Tonight was different though... He let you ask all the questions you wanted without asking you a single one in return. To be honest, you were starting to get worried. This wasn't like him at all. Was he getting tired of you? Was he going to end your meetings together after this? You didn't want that to happen... You loved talking with him, and not just about his career. Zen was a genuinely good person, he was funny as well. 

It started sometime during the meetings... You could feel your heart starting to flutter whenever he smiled at you. Or how your face would heat up when he'd laugh at one of your bad jokes. You were developing feelings for him...

The night went on as your worry increased more and more. You were sure of it now. He was going to stop your meetings...

"(Y/N)..." He cleared his throat. You bit your lip in worry as you nodded for him to continue. "We've been meeting up for quite a while now right?"

"Yeah..."

"I'd say it would even be safe to call each other friends?"

Again you nodded.

"Well... I'd like to think that tonight is special... Because I wanted to ask you a question..." He took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "(Y/N), do you want to be my girlfriend?"

Your eyes widened as you looked at him. That wasn't what you were expecting at all. Soon, a huge smile broke across your face as you nodded hurriedly.

"Yes! Of course I would! Zen, you jerk, you had me worried all night that you didn't want to meet me anymore, then you spring this on me!"

He simply laughed, relief flooding over him as he stood up and went to your side, pulling you into a hug. "You were worried? Think about me...! That was so nerve wracking... Worse than my first audition!"

You laughed with him as the two of you continued your meal in happy bliss, already starting to plan future dates together as well.
