You were shopping with your good friend, Jaehee. Zen couldn't join you since he had a audition around that time but he didn't want you to go alone. But he wanted you to go with someone he trusts and is also close to you. Jumin gave Jaehee a one day holiday since Jumin had something to do that wasn't including work. RFA was pretty surprised that Jumin had a life outside of work.

After you both paid for the groceries. "Oh my god! Isn't Zen just so handsome?!" You heard three women fangirl to your own boyfriend. You were irritated at first but of course, started to let it go after a while. "Oh! Have you seen Zen's girlfriend though?" One of the girls said. And of course, hearing people talk about you, you decided to evesdrop.

"Yeah, I have! I can't believe he's taken~" the other girl complained. "I know right. Like, she isn't even that pretty. Looks like another decent chick to me." The third one rolled her eyes. All the other girls could do was agree. "To be completely honest, Zen deserves better."

"Don't listen to those people MC. Those types of fans don't respect Zen in the slightest. If they respected him, they'd respect you too." Jaehee tried to comfort you.

For some reason, those words hurt you. "I shouldn't be so hurt about this. They have no right to speak." You thought to yourself. But at the back of your head, you kept asking yourself "Should I even be dating Zen if I'm just another decent girl?"

You went back home. The thought was still in your head. "I can't believe I'm actually thinking about something this stupid." You exclaimed. As you open the door to your apartment, you see your handsome, white haired, mascular boyfriend, Zen with a black shirt cleaning the apartment.

"Honey! You're home!" Zen said, with the happiest smile on his face. He stopped cleaning just to give you a loving kiss on the cheek. "Yeah. We were running out of some ingredients so I thought I should go shopping to be safe." You giggled and kissed your boyfriend back on his forehead as you tip toed since he was taller than you.

"I wish I could've joined you with shopping. It must've been tiring carrying these shopping bags." Zen sighed. "Don't worry. I got it!" You say proudly. "That's my cute wife." Zen smiled back, pinching your cheeks from how cute you were acting to him.

"Cute, huh.." You thought. As you were keeping your groceries, you started to think, "I mean- as long as he thinks I'm cute, it's okay right? Then again, if the public thinks I'm not attractive, wouldn't that effect his reputation? Or am I just overreacting? Aghh!"

Suddenly, you heard Zen call out your name. You flenched in surprise and looked up at him and replied, "Yes, Zenny?" Zen looked down at you and asked, "Is everything alright? You look a little worried. Did something happen?" You immediately tried to come up with an excuse. "Oh, I just- I just tripped a little. That's all. Nothing to worry about." You lied. "Want me to give you a massage?" He asked as he tilted his head. "It's fine, Zen! It's really nothing to worry about." You tried to convince him. He nodded and walked away.

Zen was on his phone, on the bed. He was talking to Jaehee on their private message since he knows you'd look at the chatroom.

Zen: Hey, Jaehee!

Jaehee: Hello, Zen.

Zen: Could I ask you some advice?

Jaehee: Of course, Zen. What do you need?

Zen: Well, I'm pretty sure there's something up with (Y/N) but I don't know what.

Zen: She's been acting so down ever since she got home from shopping.

Jaehee: I don't know much about relationships nor how they work. But, I'm pretty sure on what she's upset about.

Zen: Really?! Tell me!

Jaehee ended up telling Zen about how they met these three young girls gossiping about Zen and you. Jaehee said that their words might've upset her.

Zen: Thank you, Jaehee. I understand the situation a little bit better now

Jaehee: Anytime, Zen.

After he got off his phone. He called out your name to come upstairs. You were doing nothing but watching TV so you decided to go up. You entered the room and saw Zen, sitting on the bed.

"What is it, Zen?" You asked. Zen told you to sit next to him. You obeyed. He held your hands tightly. "Zen?" You tried your head in confusion. "(Y/N), dating a celebrity like me- people will gossip about you. And to be honest, most of my fans don't like me for my talents but for my looks. They judge me based on my looks. And some cold, heartless people will do it to you too. I know how it feels like to be hurt based on your physical appearance. But, you don't have to worry. We don't have to worry." Zen exclaimed as he held both of your hands and kissed them after he talked. All you could do was let your face turn red.

"Zen, how did you-" you got cut off by Zen telling you, "Jaehee told me what was wrong." You looked down at the sight of your boyfriend's hand, tightly holding yours. "I know I shouldn't be hurt by something like this. But, it's just hard. If the public thinks I'm not good enough for you... Then am I? Am I not good enough?" You felt like crying but somehow held it in.

Zen widened his eyes. As you looked up at him, he saw the sad expression that you had. After that, Zen immediately gave you a long, loving kiss. The kiss was passionate. Zen put his right hand on your cheek as you out your arms around his neck. The kiss lasted for a few seconds after you two finally pull away.

"(Y/N). I don't care what anyone says. I never cared. I don't plan to care. You are good enough for me. Actually- maybe a little too good. Sometimes I wonder if I even diserve you. (Y/N)... This is our relationship. Not the public's. You're the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life. Not just your appearance but your heart." Zen said.

You put your left hand on his cheek, caressing it. "Okay, Zenny. I love you." You smiled. "I love you too, (Y/N)." He chuckled and kissed you on the nose.

"Now, what about that massage?" He asked. "Sure. Might release my stress." You sighed happily. "Are you sure that's all you wanna release?" Zen smirked, making a dirty joke. You took a pillow that was near you and hit Zen's face with it. "Zenny!" You playfully giggled as the blush on your face got worse.
