"Hyun"

The melody of your voice played over and over again inside his head. Throughout dinner his mind occupied by the way you said his real name. The name he never thought he would love to hear.

He would steal glances of you while you sat and chat with director Hanuel and other female staff members, he finds it cute that you were trying to make as little contact with him as possible after what the director said in your now shared hotel room. Too cute. It would be a lie to say that he doesn't get excited when he thinks about what the director said. In fact, every glimpse of your smile sends a shiver down his spine, he wanted to get excited to spend the night with you but he can't get too ahead of himself. He knew that it would be too fast for you, for him.

He stared at you to calm his heart, you were already near, you were already by his sight, and you'll be sleeping together tonight.

God!

How could the world let a woman like you, so precious and pure, walk into a wolf's den? He needed to be careful around you and you needed to be extra careful not to wake up the beast within him.

When the director caught him, she wrapped her arms you causing you to squirm and whine her name.

Oh, how he hope it was his name you were saying.

The director continued to tease you, enough to make you finish your dinner and stand up to leave.
His eyes follow you as you stand up to leave the dining hall, he did not want to miss a thing and you must have sensed it. Humans, after all, have an incredible sense of someone staring at them.

For a moment time was frozen as his eyes met with yours but you quickly yield. You quickly looked the other way. He felt a bit lonely not to be staring at your eyes but at the same time, it made him feel proud of himself. He knew from the faint pink shade of your chick what exactly you were hiding from. It was a proud moment for him.

He knew that you were thinking of him too.

A few minutes after you walked out of the room Zen also took his leave. He wanted to get some fresh air before making his way into the battlefield, your room.

The unused back parking lot of the hotel seems like a good idea. It overlooks the small town much like his beloved place up in the mountains and the wind should feel good.

He stands there holding on the railings, reflecting on today's event.

The character he was playing.
The story.
His mistakes.
The outtakes.
The outtakes that were far too many. The mistakes
he made after another.

If Zen was hard on anything or anyone, it would be he himself. This job that he got without knowing how is the job where he needed to prove himself.

Unconsciously his hand reaches towards the cigarettes in his pockets. He hasn't smoked a single stick since he left the hospital and he didn't want to but the frustration of all the mistakes he made earlier is getting to him. His bad habit of going back to the bad habit he has is winning.

He needed to release some of his stress.
He needed to smoke.

"Zen" the sound of your voice startled him. "I didn't know you were here, what are you--" you trailed off as you saw the cigarettes in his hand. Instinctively you snatch the cigarettes from him. "Zen? What is this? Were you smoking again?"

Your questions send him into a panic. He wanted to explain yet no words left his mouth.

"Zen? You promise me! Plus you haven't had a cigarette in over a year..." You stopped as you realize that he wouldn't know about that. The Zen in front of you is the same Zen you met on your first days in the RFA, the bad boy of the group.

"Sara.." He was finally able to speak, he too realizes that it was a different Zen you were talking about.

"A kiss for a cigarette, that was our deal before, I know that it couldn't be like that anymore but I'm still willing to help you quit smoking just tell me what you want" Sincerity was overflowing from your eyes.

The young actor remained quiet. He knew that he could never find a woman like you again. You were kind. He remembered what he thought of you. "Someone who will walk blindly in darkness to lend a hand". You were more than determined to help him but he needed to do his part too.

Silence.

Maybe it was a bit cocky of you to state the promise he made with you? Is it uncomfortable?
Maybe it is.

You were about to walk away to throw the cigarettes when Zen pulled you into an embrace.

"Thank you." He nuzzles closer to you. Taking in your scent. He was happy, so happy to find someone to actually care about him, to see him as him, to go past his looks.

"Z--Zen?"

"Hyun. Call me Hyun when it's just the two of us" He said as he slowly lets you go. He smiles as he sees your flustered face. Beautiful.

Too beautiful.

Zen leans in once more and

"For now this is enough"  he said as he kissed your cheek.
