"Why did he have to call me in now?!" Said Zen out loud to himself as he got into his car. He stared at the steering wheel of the car and set his head down, leaning on an edge of it.

Today was Zen's birthday and it wasn't starting out like he would have liked for it. When he woke up this morning, he woke up in an empty bed and found a note on his nightstand, Zen picked it up and read it out loud

"Good morning my special angel,"

Without reading anything else, Zen's cheek instantly turned a bright red. He internally smiled as he imagined his lover writing this for him. After a small break of fangirling, Zen continued to read the note.

"I went into the market to get some things for your special breakfast today, I'll be back soon!! Go back to sleep and I'll call you when I'm heading back home!
I LOVE YOU ZEN!!"

He smiled and held the note tightly in his hand and close to his chest. He eagerly got out of bed and the first thing he did was try calling his lover, MC.
He pushed on his contacts and spotted her name in his contacts, as he pressed the button to call her, he saw the picture of the two of them together in the rain as her caller ID picture, he smiled involuntarily just by thinking about MC.

Zen tried calling MC 5 times, all fruitless. Zen sighed and decided to set his phone down on the kitchen counter and take a shower.

Zen came out of the shower with one towel around his waist and another draped around his neck. Zen was about to head to his room to get dressed when suddenly he heard ringing, he instinctively dashed into his kitchen, almost slipping on the floor. Zen was panting as he picked up the phone.

"Good morning, Beautiful." Said Zen with a flirtatious tone

"Good morning to you too Zen." Said some one with a masculine voice on the other line. It didn't sound even remotely like MC, Zen wondered who had called him, moved the phone from his ear and looked at the screen. On the screen it read, JUNG WOOK. Zen internally cringed and face palmed himself.
"I'm so sorry jung wook, I thought you were MC..." said Zen apologetically.
"Aww, and I was thinking that you loved your manager!!" Said jung wook pretending to be upset.
Zen chuckled and began to make his way to his room.
"So what's the reason for you calling Jung wook?" Asked Zen as he set his phone to speaker and set it on top of his dresser. Zen began to rummage through his dresser.
"Well Zen, I first wanted to call you and wish you a happy birthday!" Said Jung.
"And what else, Jung?" Asked Zen suspiciously
"Okay you've caught me. In the beginning that was it and I was gonna invite you out to celebrate your birthday, but I got a call from the company saying that they have this new project for you and they want you to start it as soon as possible. They said that you had to come in to the studio, TODAY. THEY EVEN SAID A REPRESENTATIVE WOULD COME TO THE STUDIO TO SEE IF YOU ACTUALLY SHOW UP!!" Explained Jung.
Zen was still looking through his clothes and loudly exhaled. He rubbed his temples in an attempt to calm himself. He had never worked on his birthday before, this was a first.

"Tsk, okay Jung. I'll be in soon, just let me get dressed. Ill see you in a bit." Said Zen
"Okay than...Oh and one more thing, Zen. Make sure you dress up, this isn't going to be a dance practice or anything like that" said Jung as the line went silent abruptly.
Zen sighed and ended the call on his phone. Zen began getting dressed with

a red dress shirt, leaving the top two buttons unbuttoned, black dress pants, and brown dress shoes. Zen tied his hair back and grabbed his phone and began making his way to his living room. He began collection all his things, his keys, wallet, etc. Zen made his way to the door and pulls out his phone and begins to dial MC's number. Again, she did not answer. So Zen decided to go back into the house and head towards his kitchen and grabbed a sheet of paper and a black pen and began to write.
"Hello gorgeous,
I was called in by Jung to the studio. I'm sorry I'm not here to help you with the groceries, thank you for going out to pick up things for my birthday. You didn't have to do that for me. Call me when you finish reading this. I love you MC, so so so much!! "

Zen was content with the small note he had just written. He was going to leave it on the kitchen counter. Yet Zen grabbed the pen again and began drawing hearts all over the paper with the letters "M+Z" inside each one.

After drawing many hearts, Zen put down the pan and headed to the door.

He locked the door of his home and got into his car.
"Why did he have to call me in now?!" Said Zen out loud to himself as he got into his car. He stared at the steering wheel of the car and set his head down, leaning on an edge of it. He only wished to spend his birthday with MC, this would be the first birthday with MC. Zen looked longingly at his home and sighed. Zen started up his car and drove to the studio.

TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY THIS PICTURE!!

I'm not sure if you've noticed but I REALLY like Ouran High school Host Club!!! Anyways....

Zen stood in the middle of the dance practice room with Jung Wook.
"Okay Zen, this is a song that the company thinks that you could sing at your next concert. It's just an idea. Here, it's in Spanish. So I'll give you both the Spanish and English version. Here, why don't you read them out loud." said Jung as he handed Zen two separate pieces of paper. Zen looked confusingly over both papers and began to read the original Spanish version
"Amarte como te amo es complicado
Pensar como te pienso es un pecado
Mirar como te miro está prohibido
Tocarte como quiero es un delito " read Zen out loud

Zen than looked at the English translation to see what it meant
" To love you like I love you is complicated
To think about you the way I think about you is a sin
To look at you the way I look at you is prohibited
To touch you like I want is a crime"
Read Zen out loud, he was surprised at how romantic the lyrics were.
"I'm going to go and play the music so you can start practicing" said Jung wook
"Okay then..." said Zen as he stared at the words on both separate sheets of paper.
Jung went out of the room and stood behind a glass see through window where right under the control panel was. Zen began to notice Jung was taking a little longer than expected. Jung looked confusingly to the panel of buttons
"Umm Zen, I'm gonna call the sound manager to come over and help me out with the controls. I have no idea what any of these buttons do. " said Jung from outside the room. Zen nodded and gave a thumbs up to Jung to show him he understood what he had said. Jung nodded and pulled out his phone and left to another room to call the sound manager.

Zen sat down in the middle of the floor of the dance practice room and began reading over the English translation of the song out loud. He decided he would move to the other set of lyrics since he had already read the beginning of it.
"I don't know what to do so you'll be okay
If I have to turn off the sun to ignite your dawn,
Talk in Portuguese,
Learn to speak in french,
Or lower the moon to your feet.

I only want to give you a kiss
And give you all my mornings
To sing to calm your fears
I want you to lack nothing

I only want to give you a kiss
Fill your soul with my love
Take you to meet the sky
I want you to lack nothing

If the world was mine, I'd give it to you
Even my religion, I'd change
For you, there are many things I would do
But you don't even give me the news

I don't know what to do so you'll be okay
If I have to turn off the sun to ignite your dawn,
Talk in Portuguese,
Learn to speak in french,
Or lower the moon to your feet.

I only want to give you a kiss
And give you all my mornings
To sing to calm your fears
I want you to lack nothing

I only want to give you a kiss
Fill your soul with my love
I only want to give you a kiss
I don't want you to lack anything

I only want to give you a kiss
Take you to meet the sky
I only want to give you a kiss
I don't want you to lack anything"

Read Zen out loud, even without music, thought Zen, this song was quite romantic

Suddenly Zen began to hear music playing yet when Zen turned to look at the glass window to see in Jung was there, there was no one there.

The lights began to dim. At this point, Zen is freaked out and doesn't have any idea what is going on. Zen gets up from the floor and sees that the lights of the other room from behind the dance practice room are turned off and that there are some shadowy figure heading to the door.
Music continued to play, yet than Zen started hearing a man singing. When that started, someone entered the room, it was MC!!

She walked in the room with heels and a long red dress that seemed to drag behind her giving her an elegant look and a crystal head piece around her hair that was curled and made to loom like a princess.

Zen's mouth was hanging wide open and almost dropping to the floor. Zen was frozen in place at how beautiful she was. MC entered the room with a small group of men playing instruments that sounded exactly like the ones playing on the song in the background. MC walked towards Zen without speaking but singing. She began sing to the words of the song in Spanish. Zen having read the lyrics before, knew what they meant. She came close to Zen and wrapped an arm around his waist and the other held his hand. Zen stared at MC with a tint of red sweeping through his cheeks as he noticed how close MC's hand was to his waist and how gentile she was when holding his waist.

(Please do not pay attention to the audio but pay attention to the dancing. In the video the boy is taking the lead, in the story, MC is.)

MC began leading the steps, slowly slow dancing. When the music picked up a little, MC picked up her pace a little and began moving her hips to the rhythm of the music. Zen stared at his feet and at MC's hips as they swayed. As MC continued to sing, without stopping she lifted up Zen's head with her fingertips to face her and moved her lips closely to Zen and placed them on his. Zen kissed back and MC quickly retracted and continued dancing yet slowly with Zen following her lead. As the song was almost at its end, MC stopped dancing and began singing the last lyrics while staring directly into Zen's eyes. Zen looked back with a smile on his face. The music ended and the men with instruments stopped at well. MC grabbed both of his hands and leaned her head on his as he lowered his head. One of the men playing the instruments came towards them and handed MC a bouquet of red roses and a small silver box. MC grabbed both items and exhaled outboard and knelt on one knee. Once she did that, Zen's eyes widened with astonishment.
"Zen, I love you so much. I wake up every day and look to my left and see you in bed with me and I wonder what I ever did to deserve you. Was I an ancestral goddess in my past life and had done many righteous deeds that I was rewarded here in this life? I don't know, Zen. But there is one thing I know for sure, and it is that I couldn't live without you. I know we've known each other for less than a year yet I want to experience life with you right by my side. I know marriage is a little rushed yet I want to promise you that I will always be here for you and I will always love you."
After saying that, MC opened the small silver box to show Zen the contents.

It was a silver promise ring with the words "always" inside the rim. Zen was so filled with emotions and happiness that he too fell on his knees and hugged MC. They both cried tears of joy as they hugged one another. At this point, Jung had come back and the small group of musicians were there "awww"-ing at the beautiful scenes of love in front of them.
"I love you so much MC. I will always be with you, no matter what." Said Zen as he caresses her head and kissed her forehead
"No matter what?" Asked MC
"No matter what" said Zen reassuringly
