I'm Yours and You're Mine (Zenx Reader) Mystic messenger

Chapter 24 Brother (Beware Sexual Content)

            Zen scrambled out of the bed to grab his phone on the bedside table. The caller ID showed his brother's name, with a perplexed reaction he answered the call.

" Yes, Hyun here."

               They were both silent, Zen listening to the call facial expression remains the same, while she waited intently for it to finish eager to know what it's all about. There was a sudden change in his behavior, the atmosphere feels darker and heavy around him. He turned his body to her, he reached over her stroking her head absentmindedly as if reassuring himself that there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

" Yes, I'll be there. Ok, see you."

        He sighed deeply, his face sad as he laid down beside her. She pushed herself closer to him, knowing what she's about to do, Zen allowed himself to snuggle to her, resting his head at the nook of her neck while lacing his free hand into her waist. Only the occasional lapping of sea waves outside and their breathing could be heard. She stroked his hair, twirling it around her fingers while she soothe his back massaging it in a circular motion with her other hand. Tranquility was now replacing the dark mood earlier. Cocking up his head to meet her gaze, he leveled his head and gently kiss her. As they separated he started talking about the call.

" He apologized for standing me up the last time we decided to meet…"

         He paused as to concentrate how to go about it. She waited patiently for him, knowing full well that he has not properly sorted out things with his family and it weighs heavily on him.

" He said he was busy, going on and on about his important meeting with oh so important people. Does he think that he's the only one whose hands are full?"

     He said a bit annoyed, he then continued.

" He even wants me to help him host a party at his house. To help him entertain his guests, he asks nicely though. "

" So that is what you agreed to earlier?"

         She reached over his anxious face caressing his sideburns, his face relished her touch, he closed his eyes and when he opened it, it has softened considerably.

" Yes, I'm sorry I did not ask you first. He said that our parents might attend and that I could try to talk to them. I don't really know if it's a good idea. I want to talk to them but then they might end up criticizing me again about me being an actor. I might just be there to make my brother look much better. Or maybe not. I don't know."

" Zenny, you are a bright and the most lovely person I ever met. You are blinding in all sense, your personality, your talent, your passion, well we could include your looks too. Let me say this, they are missing half of their lives not seeing that with you. I know you wanted your parents to acknowledge you, but you know what there is something common to all of you."

" What is it? I can't think of anything really."

She beamed sweetly at him, Zen's favorite smile. A smile as sweet as honey, her lips reaching ear to ear, eyes twinkling brightly. It was infectious  and before he knows it he's smiling too.

" So what is it baby?"

" Hmmmmm. That is YOU are all idealistic and stubborn. They want to keep you in their world at all costs, thus you are always treated like an errant child. You on the other hand has his own ideas and stubbornly ran from them to make your dreams come true."

He scoffed at the idea, amusement was now spreading on his face.

" On point my lovely princess, as smart and beautiful as always."
