"Fancy restaurant we got here, Mr. Han," you joke as you know how he hate being called that by you, which again you know from the game you played.
"It's Jumin, please. I'm glad it is to your liking," he corrected you but still smiled.
"Welcome, Mr. Han and the rest of the guest. We have prepared the table for you. As Mr. Han has chosen the menu before, we will prepare it immediately. For now, please enjoy the wine," a slender woman with a blonde hair and professional look welcomed us, maybe the manager of this restaurant. Jumin nod and followed the lady as she ushered us in.
You noticed that all eyes are on the guys as you stepped inside. All the waitress gasped at the sight of Zen, except for the blonde manager just now. You guessed that it might be pretty normal for him, as he really could catch people's attention easily. Tall muscular body, long silky silver hair, tied neatly, deep red eyes and a face that could melt any woman's heart. You could feel how proud you are having him here, holding your hand, keeping you close by his side.
"Eunhye," Jaehee called you. "After dinner we will have a meeting regarding the next RFA party. We might have to discuss something else as well." You nodded in response, feeling excited to actually getting involved in RFA party.
You took your time appreciating the exquisite French interior in the restaurant, classy and reminds you a bit of the cathedral you used to go with your parents during your childhood. Jumin must have went overboard with his budget to find the best interior designer to create such a calming atmosphere.
"Please sit here, dear guests," the blonde manager showed us our table. The table was arranged with each name of the guest displayed on the table. It was a simple yet elegant arrangement. So Jumin-like, you thought.
"Thank you, Manager Kim," Jumin nodded at the lady.
"Ms. Seo," a waiter nodded at me as he was going to pull out the chair for me. However, Zen asked so that he could do it instead.
"Let me," he said. The waiter politely stepped back and let Zen do the work. "Careful, princess. Is it comfortable?" you nodded and he sit at the chair beside you.
You noticed the menu on the table and you took it and read it curiously. It was some full course meal that you totally didn't get as you've never experienced one before. Will I be okay with the wine though? You thought silently. At the same time, you were overwhelmed by the amount of cutleries laid in front of you.
"Honey~" Zen whispered slowly near you ears. Your face feels hot as you feel his breath against your skin again. "Tell me if you start to fill dizzy because of the wine. Last time you drink.. Ah.. I don't wanna talk about it.." Your cheeks feels hotter looking at his shy reaction.
Did I do something when I got drunk in this world before? Oh no, I hope it's not something fatal. You silently thought as you knew very well you've never tasted alcohol before as you were desperate to save your money.
"Here's our first menu on the list," Manager Kim announced. "It's smoked sturgeon with beet compote, accompanied with 2011 Sparkling Rose de Syrah." The waitress put a plate on our table and stepped back immediately as the next one took over to pour wine in our glasses.
"Oppa.." You called him.
"Hm?"
"How do I use all these cutleries?" you whispered as you feel embarrassed and out of place.
"….. Mm.. how to say.. I guess usually you start using from the outer one? Just follow my lead, baby. Besides, we're the only guests here, you don't have to worry so much about manners," he winked at you. His easy-going reaction calmed you down as you follow his lead taking which cutlery to use.
The dinner went by in silence as we all enjoyed our food. The next meal came along with another wine to accompany it. Zen and the rest looks quite used to this kind of occasion and you have to adapt quickly just so you don't embarrass Zen. You could feel how Zen took his time observing you regardless of how many pairs of eyes are on him, which makes you unconsciously reached for the spot he kissed at the back of your neck.
"So, I would like to officially start the meeting for the next RFA party. As V has told us, the meeting will be somewhere in two months, Eunhye will have to decide the date later and confirm it to us, so we can prepare for the venue and decoration. As usual, we will have wine provided by Mr. Han's acquaintance that came to the last party. Chef RamG, who came to the last party has also agreed on helping us with the menu for the next party. I would say, good job, to Eunhye for that." Jaehee began the meeting with a long explanation, after we finished our meal.
"Well, since we got more time to prepare the party, it should be okay!" Yoosung said cheerfully.
"Too bad V couldn't come. He can't even join this meeting," Seven said.
"Well, our only concern would be the hacker 'Unknown' and his religious group. They have been laying low after the last party but we wouldn't want anything to happen to Eunhye again," Jumin said.
"Yeah, or Zen will punch me again," Luciel chuckled.
"Hey, of course my princess' safety is my priority. But this time, I will be beside her 24/7, so I'll make sure nothing will happen," Zen said, assuring you.
"Ehem," Jaehee interrupt. "Back to the party, everyone please think of something that we can use to make the party more lively, like something to show or.. maybe, a play by Zen would be good. I would like to see that," Jaehee said ending with a whisper that is loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Should I? I can invite my theater group and see how it will turn out. We can recreate some of our past performance, given we only got around two months to prepare," Zen liked the idea.
"Birthday.." your words caught the members attention. "How about a birthday party? 1st of April, Zen Oppa's!"
"Wha.. Wait wait wait. Why?" Zen flustered at your sudden idea.
"I think that's a good idea. We can celebrate your birthday along with the party. The next party can be held at others' birthday as well," Yoosung said.
"True, it might be unusual, but it's not a bad idea to do this. It will be different and the guests might like it. He can perform too, so we got to prepare the stage and all," Jumin agreed.
"Ah, seriously, Eunhye, you never failed to surprise me," Zen smiled, patting your head. You flushed at his gesture.
After a few more discussion, Jaehee closed the informal meeting. All the RFA members are preparing to go home while suddenly Seven just messaged in the chat room saying 'I'll be leaving first. The scary Ms. Vanderwood is here to pick me up. See ya! Jumin, thanks for the food!'
As you reached for the front gate, you could feel your heart beating faster and faster.
"Geez, Princess, let's go inside already, I don't want you to get sick due to this chilly weather," Zen, who was surprisingly calm, opened the door instead. "Come, we're home."
You followed Zen inside. I'm home, you said in your heart, assuring yourself of the room that you've just seen for the first time a few hours ago, before the dinner. You felt safe as you inhale the sweet scent that enveloped the room. Zen's scent.
"Baby, do you want to take a bath first? Here's your towel. As for the pajama, you can use whatever is inside the wardrobe. You used my clothes sometimes. I don't mind. Oh, and this locker is for your underwear. I've only opened it to bring you changes of clothes when you are admitted to the hospital, other than that I've never touched it. You really disliked it if I were to touch your personal things," Zen explained.
"Really? Oh.. Then I'll take a bath first. Thank you, Oppa," you smiled at him and you could see a faint pink blush on his cheeks.
"Oh. Ah.. Just.. Take your time, ahahaha," he laughed nervously.
…
"Oppa, I'm done," you said after having a real good bath. You still can't believe that you are using the same shampoo and soap he's been using, and you just have to admit that it smelled really good. "I didn't expect your clothes to be this big, Oppa."
Zen was sitting on his bed and was looking through a thick book which looks like a script, which has just slip off his hands as he saw you going out of the bath. That reaction was obviously triggered by you wearing one of his white T-shirt combined with your shorts that was almost hidden underneath his T-shirt.
"Oppa? Hello? Earth to Zen Oppa?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry, sorry. I was just so flustered looking at you. Man, the heaven must've owed me something big for me to get you as my girlfriend," he hugged you and inhale your fresh scent. "Mmm, you smell really sweet and you look pretty in anything. Wait for me, okay? I'll take a bath first. Dry your hair first," He said as he disappear into the bathroom.
You sit on the floor and use the hairdryer as Zen suggested, waiting for him. 15 minutes felt so long as you wanted Zen to be by your side as soon as possible.
"Oh, you dried your hair. Nice. You look really pretty, Princess," Zen appeared, startling you. "Missed me?"
"Oppa, it's only been 15 minutes," you tried to dodge but it can't hide your flushed cheeks as Zen chuckled.
"Well, 15 minutes is long enough for me, especially now that you're back here. I can't even wait to get out of the shower but I need to get myself nice and clean too for you."
"Do you want me to dry your hair?"
"Huh? You'll do that for me? I'll be happy to!" Zen sit in on the floor excitedly like a child as you sit on the bed, behind him, taking your position. You stroked his silky silver hair gently as you use the hairdryer to get it dry slowly.
"It still feels like a dream to me.." you mumbled.
"What is?"
"This. Stroking your hair like this. Talking with you like this. To have you beside me, I can only imagine it when you send me all those pictures in the app.." you couldn't finish the sentence as you felt soft sensation covering your lips. It was his.
"O..ppa.." you managed to talk between his sudden attacks. "The hairdryer is.." he turned it off. "But your hair.."
"Princess, it's okay. It'll dry soon. Nothing to worry about. Besides, how am I supposed to keep my calm hearing your confession like that?"
You could hear your heart beating out faster and louder than before as the blood rushed, resulting in the pink flush on your cheeks which Zen loved.
Zen gently stroke your cheeks with his slender fingers, kissing it softly and sweetly, as he managed to pin you down on the bed.
"You know, I've never loved anyone this much before. See, even I'm completely nervous right now. I need to hold myself back or else I'll eat you up," he put your hand on his chest, you could feel his heart beating fast, as fast as yours.
Zen closes the distance between the two of you, as his lips reached out for yours, only this time, you received it well. You'd admitted you wanted it too.
"Mmmh.." you let out a muffled voice as you enjoyed his kiss. Although it was your first time having this kind of kiss, all you need to do is following his pace. He nibbled your lower lips as you nibbled his too. After a while, he broke from your kisses as both of you panted, feeling out of breath.
"Well, uh, let's stop for now. I wouldn't be able to control myself otherwise. Let's have a good rest, okay?" He said as he let you snuggled up into his embrace and covered both of you with a blanket. "Sleep well, my princess. I love you," he kissed you forehead as both of you drifted to a deep sleep.
….
It was two in the morning as you opened your eyes sleepily. You blushed as you realized you were sleeping while being hugged by Zen. It was your first time seeing him up close like this, sleeping beside him. You smiled realizing a faint smile he was making in his sleep.
I've never imagined to be together with my prince. My fairytale prince.
You get up and reached for your phone after admiring Zen's beauty. You logged in to the RFA chat app and typed a text messages to a certain someone instead of talking in the chat room.
Jumin, are you awake?
Yes, what can I help you with?
Can I come over tomorrow? At your office. Make sure Zen Oppa doesn't know I'm meeting you.
Sure. I'll notify driver Kim tomorrow. What time would be good for you?
Around lunch time. Zen Oppa will be having rehearsal tomorrow so he said he won't be back until dinner. Is it okay with you? I want to buy a few ingredients to cook for dinner as well.
Yes. See you tomorrow.
Thank you, Jumin
Anytime, Eunhye.
You turned off your phone and drifted back to sleep, back in Zen's arm.
