            i  mean,  he's  come  here  on  his  own  before.  you  don't  /  need  /  to  be  with  him,  just  giving  permission.  soooo....  mm,  come  on  in.  be  quiet  though.

don’t  get  ahead  of yourself,   rumi.   are  you  going  to  let  him  in?

(...)  @sajaics 
            heh,  you  sure  it's  just  him?

you’re  in  to  it  aaand  you’re  stuck  with  me.    i  love  you.  are  you  still  feeling  okay?

            you're  so  corny ...  i  can't  be  mad  at  that.  fineeeeee,  you're  free  to  buy  our  child  as  many  grape  items  as  you  desire.

bundle  of  joy…   bundle  of  grapes—   i  think  it’s  sweet. 

course.   i  stocked  up  so  you  don’t  yell  at  me  in  the  middle  of  the  night.    mm?   yeah,   of course,   ‘mi.   here,   make  some  room. 

(...)  @sajaics 
            mmm,  i  won't  argue  with  you  right  now.  you  remembered  –  will  you  come  here  and  hold  me?

you’re  still  a  priority  for  me!   i’ll  keep  risking  it  with  him,   i  don’t  care.    here,   i  brought  some  of  that  juice  you’ve been  into. 

i  wouldn’t  get  too  used  to  it.   jin–ho  likes  to  squirm  when  i’m  cooking.   you  can  take  the  extras  over  to  mira  and  zoey  when  you  leave  for  rehearsal.

            morning,  you  two.  you're  up  early.  oh?  why  thank  you!  you've  been  making  breakfast  so  often,  maybe  i'll  never  cook  again.

            we  don't  need  to  give  them  more  after  the  trailer  stuff.   mwah.  hmm...  you  think?  people  won't  follow  us?

you’re  no  fuuuun.   no  one  cares  here!   (  mwah.  )    since  people  knowwww..   we  could  start  moving  stuff  into  the  house. 

(...)  @sajaics 
            you  – !  we're  still  at  the  studio,  don't  say  that!   hmph ...  fineeeeee.  i  love  you.  :)

obviously  you  like  it.   we  wouldn’t  be  here  if  you  didnttt~    (   one  hand  stays  on  her  waist  when  they  enter,   something  close  to  bubbling  nerves  eating  at  him,   even  as  she  speaks.   )    i  think  most  of  the  cost  came  from  location.   it’s  perfect,  though.   close  to  everything  but..   private.   as  soon  as  we’re  ready,   we  can  start  something  here.

            you're  so  corny.  [  her  nose  scrunches,  yet  she  grasps  the  keys  firmly  and  turns  to  insert  it  into  the  lock  and  open  the  door.  her  lips  part  as  she  gazes  around.  ]  this  must've  cost  quite  a  lot ... it's  beautiful. 

why  don’t  youuu  do  the  honors  of  unlocking  the  doors  to  our  future?

            [  her  head  shoots  up,  eyes  wide.  ]  no!  it  has  nothing  to  do  with   you!  i  could  never  be  ashamed  of  you.  i  just..  [  a sigh.  ]   i've  been  in  the  spotlight  since  i  was  a  kid.  most  things  i  do  are  broadcasted.  i  know  it's  selfish,  but  part  of  me  liked  having  you  just  for  myself.  i  don't  actually  care  that  much  about  public  opinion  on  it ...  god,  and  celine  is  a  different  story  again.  shes  the  one  who  put  me  into  the  industry,  i  don't  know  how  much  of  her  care  is  out  of  obligation,  and  she's  already  not  your  biggest  fan.  i  don't ...  want  this  going  public  potentially  holding  possible  danger  for  you,  or  zoey  and  mira  either.

(   he  lets  his  shoulders  drop,    but  nonetheless  he  reaches  out  with  one  of  his  hands,   palm  cupping  her  cheek.    )     i..    want  to  love  you  openly,   rumi.   if  something  is  holding  you  back  or  you’re  ashamed  of  me..     id  like  to  know.  

(...)  @sajaics 
            [  she  picks  anxiously  at  her  nails,  expression  marred  by  guilt.  ]   i  don't  know  how  to  talk  about  it.  it  sounds  stupid  if  i  say  it  out  loud  and  then  you'll  probably  think  it's  ridiculous  for  me  to  stopped  by  these  things  and  that  it's  not  worth  your  time  and  –

            all  this  sneaking  when  you  get  to  kiss  me  anyways.  [  a  giggle,  arms  wrapping  around  his  neck.  ]  are  you  now?  you've  been  kissing  me  a  lot  anyways  since  you've  had  permission. 

i’ll  deal  with  it  when  we  get  to  that.    mwah.   i  get  to  kiss  you  a  lot  today,   so  im  thrilled. 

(...)  @sajaics 
            they're  going  to  kill  you.  mwah.  hello   to  you  too  –  you're  not  so  bad  yourself.  mm,  how  are  you  feeling  about  it?

how  does  the  aquarium  sound?   it’s  mostly  dark…   it’d  be  harder  to  recognize  you. 

(...)  @sajaics 
            heh,  i'll  give  it  a  pass.  well  then,  mister,  where  are  we  off  to?

..   i  panicked  and  guessed.     no  pressure then.   i  owed  you  a  real  date,   so  ill  have  to  make it  best  you’ve  had.
