7: Not Quite Ready For That

*Knock, knock!*

Babe! Zen exclaimed as he opened the door.

We hugged. It was a long-lasting, comforting hug. Zen closed the door behind us and started gently kissing me. I felt his hands slide gently up my back, pulling me closer. I helped Zen take his jacket off, then his shirt. Then I felt him grab my shirt, and I could feel this going a bit too far, so I pulled my head away and said, I want some tea.

Zen chuckled and whispered, Oh, right.

***

What kind of tea is this? I asked.

Green. The best kind for you.

Its good.

Good. How do you feel?

Oh, you mean about that?

Zen gave a slight nod.

Yeah, I mean, I want to, but doesnt it seem a bit soon? And, I dont know if Im ready for that.

No problem. Ill wait for you, Princess.

Thank you. Anyways, howre your lines coming along?

Pretty good. Zen sat down next to me at the table. I really enjoy playing Adam. Hes such a great character. And in his situation, I feel like I would respond the same way, so I can really relate.

Thats good.

Do you ever act?

I actually, I love acting. Ive been doing it ever since I was a kid.

And you havent told me this?! Oh my gosh! This is amazing! We should do something toge-

I gave him a think-about-what-you-are-saying look.

What? He said. What Jaehee said? How will acting together have anything to do with that?

Zen-

No! You know what? Im tired of having to hide you. If we cant even act together, then Im gonna quit the RFA!

Zen! I said, shocked. You wouldnt?

I guess not, if you dont want me to, but...

Lets talk to the others about this and go from there.

I leaned over to put my head on his shoulder, and pulled out my phone.
