PERSISTENCE IS KEY to a woman who easily brushes off smooth advances — but this is ZEN – & he isn’t just anyone. not a passerby nor a fleeting companion ;; but someone who has come back into her life time & time again. without fail. ( as if they were fated to be. )
for once, she puts on a shy pretense – eyes almost doe-like has she juts out her lower lip in a pout.
he lets out a gasp of fake surprise , letting one of her hands go in favor to put his own hand right in front of his mouth to cover it . how could she say something like that! he then brings the said hand down to his chest , tugging at the fabric of his shirt .
❛ my dear , you’re going to break my heart if you keep saying that , i feel it aching already!! kohvia , you’re not just a humble friend of mine! you’re ... ❜ he makes a pause , teeth biting onto his lower lip -- zen didn’t want to come out as too straightforward or make her feel uncomfortable . ❛ you’re amazing ... the sweetest person i’ve ever met . ❜
IS IT POSSIBLE? she swore she felt her heart skip a beat – despite her lack of one, KOHVIA felt strangely light. as if she suddenly remem- -bered how it felt to FEEL. ( but that couldn’t be it…could it? )
she basks in his lingering touches, comforted by their intertwining hands. eyes peer down at their physical connection before pulling her gaze back up at the tall, rising star.
he can’t help but burst into laughter , promptly shaking his head in response. zen pulls her closer to himself , leaning forward to press a soft kiss on the top of her head . ❛ my -- how am i supposed to charm all lovely ladies when i have you right in front of me? ❜
he draws his head back to look down at her face , giving her a wink . ❛ but you didn’t answer my question yet ... ❜
happy birthday zen!!!! 🥳🥳
THERE IS NO MATCH to his brightness, the softness his smile evokes to those graced by it. theheartlesswarrior feels the corners of her own lips lift into a dazzling smile, sapphire eyes gleaming as she pulls away from him.
he couldn’t help but give a little pout as she pulled away from him and his hands immediately reached out to hers , holding them by the tips of her fingers before intertwining them together .
❛ kohvia!! oh my dear , kohvia -- can you stop being this cute for a second? my heart is going to explode! you’re the one making time for me . does that mean you’re my birthday gift~? ❜
KOHVIA TRIES NOT TO think about their close proximity– but the moment she peers up at him, she knows it’ll be a difficult task. the breathless chuckle that slips out of him makes her lips curve into an endearing simper ( is it okay to be selfish & wish for more time with him? )
it’s no coincidence – his mannerisms, his personality. so similar to the delicate past she’s locked up deep within that KOHVIA nearly finds herself flashing back in time. ( the only difference is the attire they wear & society’s evolution. )
she extends a hand out to shake, expression softened by her sweet gesture.
oh, he could feel his face redden again , but her behavior did not draw him back . not at all . his hand went from the page to return the gesture, fingers gently wrapping around her hand . he then leaned his head forward and pulled her hand close to his face , allowing his eyes to flutter shut as his lips gently pressed against the back of her hand before their eyes meet again . ❛ how lovely -- it’s a pleasure to meet you, kohvia . you can call me ... zen . it’s my stage name , but everyone calls me zen . ❜ he then let her hand go , straightening his posture back to his previous position , lips still curved in a coy smile .
a wide grin brightens his features as he places a gift in zen's hands -- wrapped within, a collection of face masks. "happy birthday, hyun."
‘ v… ‘ he is left spechless – the man’s kindness was something he always appreciated and unlike the others , the photographer wouldn’t try to make fun of him on his birthday ( or ever ) . eyes wandered from the gift to his friend’s face , his surprised expression replaced by a smile of gratitude , hands bringing the gift close to his chest .
‘ you didn’t have to – but thank you . you’re too kind! ’
@elysiancia replied to your post “Wooow!!” her hands press against his cheeks, staring up at him with a...”
"I guess...I'll have to risk DEATH."
‘ i... i won’t allow it... ‘
a grin spreads on sweet lips as she throws her arms around zen & pulled him into a strong embrace. “happy birthday, zen!!” she presses a kiss on his cheek.
his expression brightens and he can’t help but offer a wide , welcoming smile in return . receiving such a warm and cheerful birthday wish from her made his heart flutter in excitement since only a few did remember his birthday . with arms wrapping around her waist and welcoming her into a embrace , just as strong , he rests his head against her shoulder after receiving the kiss , allowing his eyes to flutter shut from a brief moment . he could stay like this forever .
❛ you’ve just made this day a thousand times better!! thank you so much… ❜
it’s zen’s birthday!!
“Wooow!!” her hands press against his cheeks, staring up at him with a grin. “Your skin is so nice, Zen. You’ll share your skincare secrets with me, won’t you?”
he doesn’t mind the contact , but won’t miss the chance to throw a dramatic scene . zen carefully pulled himself away from the touch , head turned to the side one of his hand was brought up , combing his fingers through his hair – with a deep , long sigh , he then looked sideways , back at kohvia , with the corner of his eyes .
❛ i’m afraid i’d have to kill you if I did – … ❜
LONG, CALLOUSED FINGERS grasp onto her slim book of artwork from the slot beneath the desk, a grin quirking the corners of her mouth as she approaches the man crowned in silver. she passes the sleek, black binder, hand brushing against his.
“You wouldn’t be the first to have those kinds of concerns!! If you really want to get inked and would like to discuss options, I’d be happy to offer a free consultation.”
she pulls an extra seat for herself over, wheeling it right before the rising actor. with the book on his lap, she leans forward to flip through the pages with him.
crimson eyes were distracted by her presence , following each and every step she gave , as well the way her lips moved as she spoke -- so distracted he could barely feel the light brush of her hand against his , keeping the book on his lap . untouched . but he definetly changed his posture as soon as she grabbed the chair and approached him , leaning forward . taking a deep breath , trying not to make himself look nervous , the man gave her soft grin in return , letting his fingers run through the page as she flipped them , dwelling over the certain pieces arts that got his attention .
❛ say... what do you think about ... stars? maybe something to ressemble the night sky -- ❜ he let out a soft giggle escape past his lips , looking straight down to her face so their eyes met as he spoke . ❛ i’m sorry -- how rude of me . you’re being so helpful and i don’t even know your name ... ❜
kiss!
a kiss on the cheek, knuckles, forehead, in their hair.
THE QUIET BRUSH along her cheek catches her by surprise.did he just….? lips part in awe, sapphire eyes growing wide as she peers up at the taller male through long lashes. ( if she had her heart,it might’ve fluttered. )
there’s a look in his eyes that seems achingly familiar & yet – thebrunette chooses to remain oblivious. it’s an expression KOHVIAhad engraved in her soul during his previous life;; & to see it appearyet again is….
it’s…..
HOW CAPTIVATING his expressions are!! the gradual flush of his cheeks & his sweet response could surely entice many if others were to see it. ( but this moment is hers, alone. ) she re- -sists the urge to laugh out of respect and instead, brushes past him to unlock the glass door to her tiny parlor. she wouldn’t mind playing along with his amusing excuse.
—- did he just compliment her in return?
with the door unlocked, she pushes through & invites him in with a soft smile. the soft ding! of the bell latched onto the doorknob plays in the background. the mention of inking brightens her fea- -tures as KOHVIA approaches the front desk.
he doubted she took his excuse for granted , but nodded in response to play along as he made his way into the shop . the actor couldn’t stop smiling -- even let out a soft giggle escape past his lips as she spoke ( being an actor with his looks , zen had been quite used to receiving compliments , but this woman had him getting strangely nervous . in a good way. ) ❛ we can keep doing this all day ... my opinion isn’t going to change. ❜
head turns around and his eyes start wandering , taking a look inside the place . cozy , at first glance and he spotted a chair nearby to have a seat . ❛ yes -- this is my first one , actually . but i’ve been ... thinking if i really should get it done or not . i don’t know if this is going affect my job ... ❜
