Chapter 353 The Zoo Part I
Chapter 353 The Zoo Part I
The moment Alex parked outside the Zoo, and opened the door to help Mimi out of the sedan, she braced for the flashes of cameras. Only to find that there were none. It had been a long while since she had gone anywhere in public, and didn't have the media trying to take photographs of her.
Yet the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Alex smiling at her, along with the background of people walking through the parking lot, towards the Zoo without the slightest care in the world for her. It was an unusual sight, but a welcomed one. Just for today, Mimi was a regular girl, on a date with her regular boyfriend.
Alex had also gone out of his way to disguise his appearance. Though his popularity wasn't as large in South Korea as it was in the united states. He couldn't be too careful while going out in public with Mimi. And because of this, he had used a disguise as the one he had given to his woman.
First Alex started by darkening his hair, so that it was a dirty blonde, rather than a golden blonde. He followed this by adding a bit of green to his eyes, so they were closer to a teal than a sky blue. In addition to this, he changed the position of his cheekbones, so that his face was only slightly altered, just enough to throw off anyone who might otherwise recognize him.
Finally, Alex had combed his hair into a style he would not normally wear, and had dressed in clothing that could be pulled off the rack at any run-of-the-mill store that the masses normally purchased their attire from.
Despite his more average appearance, Mimi appeared enthralled by the man, as he helped her out of the car, and wore a handsome smile, all while outlining the plan for the day.
"So, after we get our tickets, I think we should first visit the big cats. I don't know about you, but I'm a huge fan of lions, and leopards, and tigers, and what not. After that we can hit up the ape exhibit, and from there go towards the more exotic animals, such as hippos, and rhinos, and elephants. Once we're done with that, we can grab something to eat before hitting up the rest of the zoo. What do you think?'
Mimi clung closely to Alex, not wanting for one second to be separated from him. She honestly didn't care what order they saw the animals in, just so long as she saw them with him. And thus, she nodded her head with a pretty smile on her face, agreeing to the plan that Alex had come up with on the spot.
"That sounds perfect to me!"
With this in mind, Alex and Mimi stood in line, waiting to grab their tickets. The two of them talked about what had been going on in their lives since Alex had left Korea to go study abroad in a rather hushed tone, as they did not want to draw attention to their personal lives. freewёbnoνel.com
Mimi avoided talking about the idol business and used generic words for her work that did not reveal what industry she worked in. While Alex himself avoided talking about matters which could be used to identify him, such as fighting in cages, working for the cartel, et cetera.

The two of them had much to talk about, and before they even realized it, time had flown by, and they were at the ticket counter. Where Alex purchased two VIP tickets for the two of them before they were finally permitted entry to the facility.
Once inside the Zoo, Mimi's smile grew even wider. It had been years since she had been to this place, and the last time she had done so was when she was a small child with her parents. Yet now she was here again with the man she loved, and that simply made her feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Alex noticed this, and wrapped his arm around the young woman, keeping her close, as the two of them walked through the area as if they were just normal members of the public. While there were a few onlookers towards them, these bystanders had done so simply because of how attractive Mimi and Alex were, rather than suspecting their identities.
Before they knew it, the two of them arrived at the area where the big cats were confined. Though it seemed like an open air atmosphere, Alex was certain that there was some kind of invisible fencing that kept the cats from crawling out of the exposure.
Still, Mimi pulled out her phone, and took photos of the Tigers when she saw them, pointing at the large cats and expressing her opinion on them, as they lazed about within their confinement.
"Look Alex, look at the tigers! Aren't they cute?"
Alex chuckled when he saw how childish the woman by his side was being, before confirming they were indeed cute, but reminding Mimi that just because they were cute, that did not mean they weren't dangerous.
"Oh, they're cute alright. In fact, some of the most dangerous things in this world are absolutely adorable…"
Mimi giggled when she heard Alex's remarks, and struck a cat like pose, while making a silent "rawr" sound, a sight that Alex found so endearing that he pulled out his phone and took a picture of the young woman, something that caused her to blush, while simultaneously demanding the man delete the photo.
"No! Don't! Alex, you can't keep that, alright! It's too embarrassing!"
Despite the woman's protests, and her attempts to grab hold of his phone, Alex did not relent, and instead played a game of keep away with the girl. Which he naturally won due to the fact that he was more than a foot taller than her.
The game that the couple was playing was observed by several bystanders, of which was a group of young men, who shook their heads at the sight of such a beautiful young woman from their nation being so shamelessly flirtatious with a foreigner.
But Mimi didn't seem to notice their angry glares, even if Alex did so. To which he responded with a smug smirk, before dragging the woman into his arms, and forcing her to calm down, as if he was lecturing a child.
This would just be one of many examples, where men would gaze with envy at Alex throughout his date with the young superstar.
