It wasn't intentional. It wasn't scheduled. It was a complete coincidence or perhaps the longing for comfort away from the world that has its eyes on you that made you and Zen met again in the mountains pretending to be strangers.

You didn't have to be Sara, he didn't have to be Zen. You weren't his girlfriend, he wasn't your fiance. You're only a person he met that fateful night, he was just someone who mistakenly tried to save you.

It was comfortable, not having any label.

So comfortable that you slept in today and is running late for Zen's photoshoot. 

Only about 5 minutes until the call time and you were about 10 minutes away. You run as fast as you can in heels, trying to avoid everyone in the way. Thankfully you made it, well not on time. It turns out you weren't the only one running late, the photographer had notified that he'll be late for 30 minutes. Lucky!

You made your way to the dressing room to check if Zen was in there since he was nowhere to be found in the studio. Before knocking you heard giggling inside the room, he must have been there flirting with some staff, probably his "biggest fans". It wasn't unusual for him to entertain and be a bit flirty with his fans and it didn't bother you much before but your circumstances have changed and you can feel an intense feeling of jealousy growing inside you. 

Feelings aside you knocked then slowly pop your head in the gap of the opened the door.

"Hey! Good morning!" You greeted. A sense of relief flooded your senses, there were 2 girls in his dressing room, you've met them before in another project and they were a big fan and supporter of you and Zen, they weren't someone you would or should be jealous of. 

"Good morning, Manager Park" The two woman greeted and reciprocated your smile before moving to the side to give you and Zen some space. 

"Good! oh, wow.. good morning, Wow you look nice" Zen greeted as his eyes scan your entire being. You blushed a little, you usually dress up when you go out with Zen but when it's about going to work, you always go all out and he was used to seeing that, yes, used to. 

Being a head turner for you means uplifting your confidence.  You wanted to show everybody, specifically the people who work hand in hand with the actor that you are worthy to be beside him.

"Hey, I was getting worried you weren't answering my calls, is everything okay?" Zen inquired as stood up offering you his seat. "Ohh, sorry, I kinda forgot to charge my phone last night and it's absolutely drained right now". You replied. 

You walked silently to Zen's side accepting the kindness he has offered you but stop just in front of him when you notice his attire. He was wearing a business suit, which he looks, not surprisingly super hot. 

"Your tie is crooked"  You slowly reach for his tie to arrange it. The two women squealed at your action, you smiled in satisfaction. 

He used to love you helping him get dressed even when you just help him pick an outfit for the day. You love it too. You love how it made you feel like your relationship with him was on another level. A level above the average boyfriend and girlfriend thing.

Zen cheeks were the shade of red, all because of your proximity. He stares down at you trying to fix his tie. You were cute he thought, busy and focused, your eyes not even wavering from the sight of his neck tie. 

The young man's heart skipped a beat when you accidentally touch him, although indirectly, it still sends shivers down his spine and a physical manifestation on his face. He wished you could have warned him at how close you were before then again he should have expected since you were his fiance, right?

A knock on the door causes you to stop playing with Zen's tie. "Mr. Zen, Manager Park, The photographer just arrived, will start the shoot in 10 minutes." The voice on the other side of the door said. "Alright!" You answered back making your way to the door. "I'm going ahead and greet the photographer, be sure to be out in 10 minutes, okay?" Zen can only nod in response. He felt a little bit disappointed by the lack of warmth from you disappearing but he knew that work must be done.

The shoot went down without a hitch. Naturally. The camera loves Zen, Afterall. While on the shoot he would often look for you, he'd see you smiling as you talk to some staff in the studio. You have a beautiful smile. There were also times that you'd see eye to eye with him, and every time that happens he could hear his heart beating. 

This deal, maybe it isn't such a bad idea after all.
