[ sleepless nights aside (when was the last time she actually got a good night's rest? she doesn't remember), the fatigue hasn't raised its head yet. maybe it's the fact that she actually had a chance to leave the office, or maybe it's because of seeing zen in person rather than in the chatroom. jaehee's days usually revolve around the office, her apartment, and jumin; it's not often she gets to see or spend time with anyone else. it's that thought that leads to the realization that she isn't really in much of a hurry to wade through the snow.
but the last thing she wants is to inconvenience zen, who likely has more important things to do than accompany her on mundane errands. jaehee takes what she can get. ]
If you insist on braving the snow, then please allow me to assist you. [ if he thought she would leave the bulldozing to him, he thought wrong. ] Maybe a shovel might make things easier, if we can find one.
[ Zen offers a complying hum in response - outwardly confident, inwardly meek, muffling out the rest of his worries like a reminder as to who he was speaking with. His fingers drummed against his recent purchase, an unconscious distraction and a means to keep a part of him busy, temporarily lured away from his steadily congesting thoughts.
In jest, Zen raises his book, a beat or two after the word 'shovel'. ]
I think we have a volunteer.
[ Hard cover, wrapped air-tight in plastic - it's plausible! Except not really, and he knew that. They needed something sturdier, reliable in size - and maybe he should cut back on his jokes, abide by her suggestions than to divert. After all, she probably had enough of that with her boss - rarely, if ever, listening to her protests, going about life without any regard to how she may feel. ]
But, I shouldn't have a lady participate in any dirty work. Looking around for a detour is way more harmless. Pretty sure I saw another way out near one of the escalators...
[ He begins to walk forward, leading the way, though he wasn't arrogant enough to make-believe that anyone would follow after. So, Zen risks a glance over his shoulder - just to make sure she's still around. ]
You know, if it was anyone else, I bet it would be really easy to get distracted and confused. Being snowed in with you makes things seem less stressful. I bet everyone in the RFA would agree.
[ Filling in the creeping silence with conversation - he was genuine with his praise, but still. ]
sorry for the delay!!
