Childhood Friend || Zen Mystic Messenger x Reader

Reunited

Y/N's Point Of View

I grabbed my latte from a nearby coffee shop and drank it all the way to the GD Entertainment where Zen is working as a musical actor. I feel so much excited to be reunited with my childhood friend but also nervous.

Two bodyguards were in the entrance and looked at me as if i'm just a little girl wanting to get inside and play. They blocked me and asked why am I here. I told them i'm the new dancing instructor from my company and told my name so they can know me. They both nodded to each other and let me in. I thanked them and asked the lady in the counter where is the director's office and she told to go to the fifth floor in the first room I will encounter on the right side.

As I went to the fifth floor getting too amazed at the posters of actors and actresses that I accidentally bumped into someone. That person caught me that I'm assuming he's a man.

"Are you okay miss?" I looked up and saw a handsome man, his eyes were green like an emerald and his messy hair was blonde mixed with bluish highlights. I got up and smiled at him.

"Thank you and i'm very sorry for bumping into you, I was distracted a little" I said.

"Woah can't believe someone doesn't even know you hah!" A beautiful lady appeared behind me, I felt like these two are siblings despite from their appearances.

"Nah it feels good when someone does not know ya right?" He snorted at his sister and looked at me. "My name is Aiden and this is my sister Leah" He shook my hand. I can't believe I just entered in this building I'm already having friends but I knew them now based from their names.

"Oh! You guys are the Jones Siblings! I heard you guys all the time on the radio, Nice to meet you I'm Y/N" I smiled.

"Cool! Anyways, me and my bro have to do practice right now or our dance instructor might kill us with the butt slapper, adios!" Leah pulled her bro to the elevator. I caught Aiden giving me a wink. That's just...weird.

I went to the right and knocked on the door. A deep voice told me to come in and I opened the door. I went in and saw the man busy doing paperworks. He looked at me and gave me a what? look.

"Good Afternoon Sir, my name is Y/N, Ms. Ashlie told me to come here" I said nervously, whenever I see a man looking so strict, I get goosebumps.

"Ah yes Y/N L/N, 21 years old and new to the company held by Ashlie" He stopped doing his task and focused on me. "You know that you are going to teach an actor right? He is very strict and serious when it comes to practice and he doesn't like slacking off"

I nodded "I'll do my best sir, when will I start?"

"Right now, I'm just waiting for Zen to arrive, I guess you are early" He said. But as soon as he said it, someone knocked on the door.

"Mr. Director? Can I come in?"

That voice reminds of him, the old days where he promised me to get married (not really) when we grow up. But no, that's not gonna happen, we aren't kids anymore, we're adults.

The door opened and Zen appeared. As much as I knew his looks, he even got more handsome. He still has that
silver-white long hair with short bangs falling slightly over his eyes, and his hair is tied in a low ponytail which reaches down his back. Zen's eyes are still pinkish-red and almond shaped. He saw me and smiled.

"This lady must be my new dancing instructor huh? What a beautiful lady you are" He took my hand and kissed it. He paid attention to my eyes but it stopped when he focused on his director. I can't believe he didn't remember me anymore. I felt sad and ashamed since I was expecting him to hug me again like the old times.

"Yes she is and she will be teaching you today at" He looked at his watch "At 3:00 p.m., I need to talk to her first about this place and her job" He said.

"Alright, I'll be working out on the gym" He looked at me "Just meet me there and we'll get started okay? See you later cutie" He winked at me and left the room. Wow...what a flirt he is.

"I'm sorry for his behaviour but he is often like that" The director cleared his throat "Now lets get started".

After many discussions, it was 2:33 p.m. and I felt hungry after leaving. I went to a nearby store and ate my favorite food and drank coke. I looked at the old photo again of me and Zen. And my mind was drifted back to the past.

---

Me and Zen were little more likely 10 years old (A/N: I tried searching what age did Zen left his home but I can't find anything so I'm just gonna guess their age and so on). He was used to get harassed by strangers who wants to take pictures of him. I was always there for him when they cause trouble and when his parents and his older brother denied him to become an actor and called him ugly. He left without saying goodbye to me. I felt pain when I hear my parents talking about it.

I was in college now and my mother showed me the picture of me and him that I have until now. This picture will remind me of him all the time when I feel down and when I heard that he was now a musical actor. I wanted to see him again. My dreams were also becoming an expert dancer, maybe Zen and I can meet there...

My thoughts stopped when my phone alarmed that it was 3:00 p.m. I rushed out of the store and went back to the GD building. I asked a person first where was the gym and they pointed just at the end of the hallway. I opened the door and saw Zen wearing a sleeveless shirt and working out. He stopped and got up when he saw me.

"Time to practice?" He asked. I nodded but stopped him "How can you practice when you just finished working out?" He just smiled "I can still practice you know".

I sighed and followed him to the practice room. After practicing the song Zen will perform. We both saw it was already getting dark.

"How many hours did we practice?" I asked myself looking at the window.

"Probably 2-3 hours, it must be 5:00 p.m. right now, you gonna go home?" He asked me while cleaning himself since he was covered in sweat. I still can't believe that I'm here with him again. After fixing ourselves, we both left the building.

"You're a pretty good dancer you know? I'm lucky I have a great dance instructor" Zen said.

"Thanks but clearly you're better than me" I said and we are about to separate from different directions.

"I haven't asked your name yet" Zen said "May I know who is this pretty lady's name?"

I giggled "Zen I still can't believe you don't remember me" I took a few steps getting far away from him. He looked confused and about to leave when I shouted his name "Zen!"

He looked back and widened his eyes when he saw the picture of us in my phone. I smiled and waved goodbye at him never looking back.

At least he remembers me now...!
