Zack breathed a sigh of relief and took a drink from the water bottle. While he was busy drinking water, you were staring at his muscular arms, chest and abs that were quite visible because of the tight sleeveless turtleneck top he was wearing.

Your eyes were serious and your expression was calm, while you drank from your own bottle, but you were cursing in your thoughts, why does he have to be this attractive and handsome?!

You've been crushing on him for a while, but you're good at keeping things hidden, especially when you were trained to be the secret weapon of Shinra.
