What A Surprise // Jumin x Zen

Chapter 9

Man oh man, time for another chapter of this fun (and gay) story. Here we go-

_____________________________

After an awkward amount of time. Zen and Jumin finally exited the bedroom and sat at the dining table to face Jaehee. They all exchanged a few silently awkward looks, until Jumin spoke up. "Before you assume anything. Zen and I weren't doing anything intimate with each other."

Zen raised an eyebrow in confusion, wondering what Jumin was going to say. "The reason that he's here is because he needed a shower since the water cut out at his house" he finished.

"How come he decided to use your shower?" Jaehee questioned Jumin, but before Jumin could answer, he was interrupted by Zen answering Jaehee's question. "Well Jumin and I have gotten closer with our friendship over the past couple days,  I simply asked him and he told me that I could come over to freshen up".

Jaehee was rather shocked by Zen's convincing response, yet she was still confused and skeptical over something. "So how come Mr. Han is wearing a robe?" she asked, feeling as if they weren't entirely honest about everything. Jumin responded quickly, "I was waiting for my turn to take my shower since I figured that I had some time to spare until I had to return to work".

Jaehee had no further questions to ask them without stepping over boundaries. So she had no other choice than to take the story they gave her. "Alright, thanks for explaining the situation, I'll be off now. I hope to see you back in the office soon Mr. Han" she sighed. "Yes I'll be back to my office in the next 20 minutes. I just need to finish up here" Jumin said in a calm tone.

Jaehee finally had left and it was silent as soon as she shut the door behind her. Not long after, Zen spoke up.

"What was that?" Zen asked. "I'm not sure Hyun.. I may have panicked to the thought of having to tell my assistant such personal information as such". Zen felt quite offended by Jaehee's very personal questions and began to overthink things.

Zen's POV

Jaehee isn't the type of person to ask such personal questions. I know her very well to expect that she would have spoken to us nicer than she did. Maybe Jumin and I should come clean..? It's just Jaehee, I doubt she would put our careers on the line, right?

End of POV

Zen tried to believe that Jaehee was just confused and had good intentions so he stopped overthinking the situation.

"What if we tell her?" Zen said randomly. Jumin took a moment to think before he responded, he was rather shocked by the sudden question. "Why do you think we should?" Jumin began dancing around the previous question. "Well, we're both very close to her, and I believe that she could keep a secret no matter the cost". Zen was very straightforward with his answer. "Hyun, for now we need to think about this. It's best to think before acting on your idea. Try and imagine the outcomes if we tell her the truth" Jumin began sounding irritated almost, as if he was growing stressed at the thought of telling Jaehee or anyone for that matter.

"Jumin, I understand. It's a big step to tell a secret to someone you're close with. Especially since we're both close with Jaehee". Zen could notice that it was bothering Jumin. "I think it's best that we wait Zen. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves already". Jumin said calmly. Zen nodded to reassure Jumin that it was okay with him.
