Time passed by and the two people still held on to each other, not wanting to let go of the other because they knew that the spell was too good to be true, that in the arms of one another, they found solace. There was an unwritten promise between Cara and Zen. They both knew this, yet both couldn't say it out loud. Both were too afraid to let something slip; making everything in that particular time ruined. Cara leaned her right cheek on Zen's chest as she tried her best to calm herself down. She felt so calm and collected whenever Zen held her. Saeyoung and Yoosung usually give her a hug, however, Zen's hug were the most calming one she ever had. His body was rock hard because of the toned muscles he possessed but the warmth and the love that emanates from the embraces gives her blissful peace that she can't ask for nothing more.

She started.

Love?

What? Why was she thinking of such a thing?

She closed her eyes shut as to erase her thoughts. She didn't need to go down that drain again. She needed to find out where she will live for the time being. her house burned out for god's sake. She needed clothes, even. She shifted her position as she leaned her chin on Zen's chin and she stared at him.

"Where will I go?" She quietly asked. Zen looked at her and he smiled.

"Well... for the time being... You can stay with one of us." Zen breathed as his hand started to caress her hair again. It was as if he knew it's a difficult thing for her to choose and to impose herself upon the RFA when she should be living alone already. He was comforting her, she realized and she closed her eyes.

"You can stay with Jaehee..." he suggested. She shook her head.

"With Yoosung," She scrunched up her nose and giggled. "He'll be too noisy playing." She added. She heard Zen chuckle.

"With Jumin?" She laughed at that.

"With the Choi twins?" She considered for a moment, then shook her head.

"With me?" Zen softly asked. His hands stopped caressing her hair for three seconds when he brought it back to it's old movements. Cara could feel his heart skip as she placed her cheeks back to his chest. She considered for a moment the suggestion.

I'll be living with Zen? Just the thought of them being able to see each other every single day made her heart flutter. She also took into consideration the craving to touch him as she imagined how their setting would be. For sure, it'd be the same as the way it was before, where they were in perfect harmony, she was working and he, busy with his rehearsals. They were practically like college roomies and they both didn't mind if they were together since Zen respected her as much as she respected his own privacy.

She smiled at the thought of seeing him make her pancakes every weekend and she felt anticipation creep in her system as she realized that she wanted to stay with Zen the most. She knew he was waiting for her answer so she just simply wrapped her hands around her waist and she buried her face deep into his as she sighed in his scent.

"That'd be lovely." she whispered.

When Zen heard her whisper "That'd be lovely." as she cuddled deeper into his chest, he thought his heart was gonna explode. His feet were dying from being in the same position for sometime, but her soft warmth and her smell made everything okay.

He felt himself feel so happy at the idea of her living with him again. They have been together under one roof before since she was in danger with what Mint Eye have done to Saeran, but she immediately moved away when everything was alright. He wanted her to stay before but he could never voice out what he wanted. It was too soon for that before. However, he wondered if it was still too soon to propose the prospect to her this time?

Zen nudged her head, asking her to look at her again. As she placed her chin on his chest and stared at him, he forgot what he wanted to tell her. He was immediately sucked in her eyes as if he could always live in there and never leave. His mind panicked as her tried to grope for the right words to say to her while she was looking at him so expectantly.

"You'd live with me?" Zen asked. "You won't find it weird? Since we don't have a relationship?" he asked quietly. He held his breathe as he saw her look sideways as if she was reconsidering his offer. Zen didn't know how long he was holding his breath when she suddenly shook her head and she smiled.

"We've been together before in one roof. Your fans know of me and ridiculously enough, have a fan base for an OTP, and work will be easier for me since my office and your office are near your apartment." She smiled.

"Ah. You have. A. Point." Zen pinched her nose as he said this. He made a very big mistake when he briefly glanced at her lips and she did the same.

Uh oh.

Control it. You already took advantage of those lips when she was sleeping. Zen thought to himself. He could feel himself feel flustered as Cara absentmindedly moved her head nearer to his. Zen's arm tightened round Cara as she clutched his shoulders. He suddenly remembered how soft her lips have been when his lips touched hers as she slept. He remembered how much she sighed happily after he pulled away and he slept beside her.

Enough of this. No.

To Zen's surprise, he jumped at the sound of a knock at the door followed by Saeyoung's voice. "We're going in." he said. Cara quickly dipper her head at the curve of his neck as he felt her exhale a breath. He could feel her warm cheeks at the side of his neck and he realized he was blushing. He smiled to himself and hugged her tightly once more before he broke the spell that enveloped them in Saeran's room.

"Ah there she is!" Yoosung smiled as you sat back in bed as Zen fluffed the pillow and placed it behind Cara's back as he let her lean on the bed's head board. Cara pasted a smile on her face and tried to calm her heart down. Cara tucked in her hair behind her ears as she watched Saeyoung on the side of the bed and stared at you while Saeran and Yoosung sat on the floor.

You were about to kiss Zen a while ago... Cara reminded herself. She mentally shook herself to pay attention to her rational mind, not her stupid heart who kept on beating too fast whenever Zen was near her.

Don't, Cara.

Cara's train of thought got disturbed when Saeyoung roughly pulled her against him and he held her tightly. She was so shocked she could only look at Zen and the others and awkwardly put her arms around Saeyoung.

"Saeyoung, I'm okay. Thank you for saving me." Cara whispered. Saeyoung pulled away and what she saw in his eyes made her tear up again. "I'm sorry, I didn't know." He simply said. He looked so guilt stricken that the tears Cara have been trying to stop flowed. Saeyoung wiped her tears through his thumbs and pulled a tight smile.

"We have to protect you pronto. You can't stay on your own place again until this has been resolved." Cara somehow had a clue on what was Saeyoung talking about; everything was written in his eyes and she knew that she was the only one who could understand him this well other than his own twin.

"H-hyung! Don't baffle her with things like these, she just woke up!" Yoosung warned.

"She has the right to know immediately, Yoosung." Saeran pointed out. Cara stared at Zen because he was the only one keeping quiet as the trio debated on whether they'd tell me. She suddenly jumped when she felt somebody hold her hand. She looked down and she suddenly saw Zen's hand grasping her. She slowly looked at him and she saw his reaction and she knew she need not be afraid.

She squeezed his hand back as he encouragingly told her silently to go for it.

"I know." was all she could say.

The trio fell silent and abruptly looked at her.

"What?" Saeran asked.

"I know somebody tried to kill me during the fire."

"And?" Saeyoung asked.

"And... I think I know who did it."
