Love And Deepspace

Heartfelt Paradise (Zayne)

In the corridor, i fall asleep while waiting for Zayne.

A while later, i was awakened by a gentle voice.

"Y/n? Wake up." He said in a soft tone, i opened my eyes slowly. "Dr. Zayne.....?" I said in a tired voice, "it's late. Why are you sleeping here? You should've gone home." He said,

"Oh, you didn't answer my messages today. I though i might be able to catch you here." I said as i sat up and sretched a bit and rub my eye.

We entered into his office as he sat down on his desk and started doing on some documents.

"I had to do an emergency operation tonight, so i didn't have time to check my phone. My apologies." He explained,

"No, no, i'm the one who should be apologizing! I started intensive training last Friday. That's why i didn't pick up your calls, i...."

"I'm not mad at you." Zayne interrupted me, "that's good...." i said relief, "i did almost called the police, however." He said interrupting me again.

"You almost did what?" I ask in shock, "i'll make sure to tell you about my schedule next time! Promise." I said smiling nervously.

"Did you make your way here as you finished training?" He ask, i nodded. "You must not have eaten yet. The food court should still be open. We can get some late- night snacks together." He said,

"Oh no, no, it's fine. You must be exhausted after such a busy day. There's no need to keeo me company. You should go home and rest." I said as i was ready to leave his office.

"You're giving me medical advice now, huh?" Zayne ask as he glance over his shoulder and rasing his brow.

"Staying up late is bad for your health" how does that sound?" I ask crossing my arms and smiling at him.

Zayne then look at the clock on the wall behind me. "10 P.M is not that late. Let's go before the barbecue stand closes." He said as he removed his colt and then put on his blue vest before we head out.

By the time we're there, the stalls are about to close. Zayne brought me to a baebecue stall he frequent, but no one is around.

"Looks like the stall owner wants you to go home and rest too." I said jokingly. "Judginh from how spotless the ground is, the stall might not have even opened yet." Zayne said, that's when a firework exploded into the sky, and a hot air ballon appears. On it is a banner adversting the nearby arcade.

"Wow!" I showed as i saw air ballon my eyes widen in suprise, "arcades these days are skilled at attracting customers using a variety of methods." Zayne said, i turn to him. "Want to check it out, Dr. Zayne? Instead og satisfying our hunger, i think it's better to revitalize our weary souls." I said smiling at him.

"I don't--" before he could reject my proposal, i run off to the arcade. I turn back and saw Zayne standing there dumpfounded. "Come on, Zayne!!!" I shouted as i run away from him.

".....who was it again that said staying up late is bad for our health?" He ask himself placing his hand on his hip as he watch me run around the corner and disappear.

Zayne rolled his eyes and then try to follow me.

Zayne and i enter the arcade. The dazzling lights and cheerful music bring me right back to my childhood.

I played the game machine again while Zayne watched me. "Yes! I won again!" I shouted excitedly and happily. I turn around to Zayne, but he shoves a water bottle into my hand.

I looked at him confused, "other arcade goers game with their brains. You game with your voice. Drink." He said, i took a big slip on my drink. "Jungle Wars was super popular when i was a kid. You sure you don't want to give it a try, Dr. Zayne?" I ask gesturing to the machine behind me.
