Unexpected Fate ~A Mystic Messenger fanfic Zen x MC

Untitled Part 11

MC woke up the next day, she had cotton mouth from the wine she drank. She tried to get up from bed, only to be held back by a warm arm around her waist. She looked under the covers, she was dressed in a t-shirt and panties but the owner of the arm was shirtless and she can see part of a distinct tattoo.

Saeran! Her mind screamed. 

Part of her knew nothing happened between them, which was surprisingly disappointing to her, but Dae-Hyun was down the hall and she knew she was a very vocal. Her cheeks felt really hot just thinking about doing the act with Saeran and part of her felt like she would be betraying Zen, who she had her first time with.

She shook her head at the thought. Zen had already betrayed me, I'm allowed to move on and be happy, She looked over her shoulder at his sleeping face. Maybe I can be happy with Saeran. A smile came to her lips as she removed his arm from around her. She needed to get breakfast ready and Dae up and ready for school. She pulled on some sweatpants and headed towards the kitchen.

MC was almost done with breakfast and had woken up Dae-Hyun for him to get dressed. She left Saeran alone so he can sleep a little longer. As she was portioning out some rice, she felt a pair of arms wrap around her waist, a nose nuzzling into her neck as soft lips left little kisses.

"Why didn't you wake me up? I could've helped you make breakfast." he whined.

"I didn't want to wake you up so early after drinking that much last night."

"That wasn't much for me, now for you, it would've been." he said with a grin.

She lightly swatted his hand, making him release her. She handed him two bowls of rice, and turned him towards the table, only to realize he's still shirtless. A blush started to creep up into her cheeks, Zen was never comfortable walking around shirtless in front of her, so why was Saeran?

"Saeran, could you please go put a shirt on when you're done putting down the rice."

He looked at her with am impish smile, "You wouldn't happen to be embarrassed, now would you MC?" he walked towards her, making her step back against the kitchen counter.

"I-It's not that, it's just that Dae-Hyun-"

He blocked her in with his strong arms, his head leaning down towards her ear, "Please don't use your son as an excuse. Just be honest with me." his eyes bored into her's, begging her to tell him what was in her heart. His lips were about to touch her's when:

"Uncle Saeran?" said a soft voice.

Saeran jumped away from MC, Dae-Hyun was standing next to the table, munching on a piece of buttered toast. His eyes never leaving the pair.

"Dae, how long have you been standing there?" asked a flustered MC.

"Long enough Mommy." his eyes shift from MC to Saeran, "Don't make my Mommy cry." was all he said before he walked off with his toast.

Both MC and Saeran were stunned at the statement the boy gave to Saeran, but it touched MC's heart that he's willing to share his mother with another person. Saeran looked over at her and smiled.

"Looks like I have permission to see you, MC." he smiled.

"Yes, but that doesn't mean you can do anything you want. Now please go put on a shirt before I have a heart attack." she laughs.

He chuckles at her honest reply, "Maybe after we drop off Dae-Hyun we can do something...fun." he said before leaving the kitchen.

"Eh? But I have work today!" she yelled after he was out of earshot.

He didn't say anything back.

'Maybe he didn't hear me?' she thought. She placed her hand over her rapidly beating heart, trying to calm it down. She shook her head and lightly slapped her cheeks. 'What am I doing? Acting like a lovesick teenager.' _______________________________________________

After the trio ate breakfast and MC got ready for work, they left to drop off Dae-Hyun, which made him very happy having two people send him off to school. MC had to explain to Saeran, again, that she needed to go to work so they won't be having "fun", but Saeran insisted on walking MC to work.

When they reached the entrance to the bakery, Saeran leaned down and gave MC a kiss in the forehead, "Do your best today. Don't over work yourself or else you won't have time to spend with me tonight." he winked at her before walking off in the opposite direction of her home.

A smile played on her lips as she watched his back get smaller. Still with a smile she walked into the bakery, only to have a deadly glare from Viviane. Her eyes held malice towards her.

"Is there something wrong, Viviane?" she asked tentatively.

"YES! There is something wrong!" she screeched. She then proceeded to hold up a trashy tabloid that had a picture of Zen, the model he was seeing, Saeran and her.
