Niall is about to go crazy hearing the tapping of the pen on Zayn's table. He's been doing that since he came and it's already getting on his nerve. He also notice how silent Zayn was and keep on watching his phone. He's not even sure if he notices him sitting and staring at him with that blank face.

"Z," He called for the third time but he  remained unresponsive and out of this world. He took a deep breath while losing his patient for being ignored.

"ZAYN!!" He slams his hand in front of Zayn's table.

"What the f—!" Zayn hissed like he was suddenly awakened. "What?!"

"You drift off, man; I've been calling you for the third time now!"

Zayn brushed his face displaying his distress. "Yeah, sorry.. I've just got a lot of things in my head.."

"Like what? C'mon spit it out.." Niall looked at him. "Does this have anything to do with the assignment you were given?"

He gives him a puzzled look before recalling the task. "No no no, it's not about that; I already withdrawn from the mission.."

Niall immediately stood up and made a startling face at him. "You what? Why Z? D'you know everyone is waiting to be assigned a task so they can get a promotion, and you just reject that?"

"Yeah, I know, but that's the last thing I'm concerned about." He said, taking a deep breath and grabbing Niall's arms. His expression gradually become solemn. " I have to tell you something but not in here; let's take a break and talk in the coffee shop."

Niall's expression is perplexed while looking at him. "Z what's going on? Did you finally hook up with a pornstar?" He joked. Zayn, on the other hand, did not bite it and remained firm.

That afternoon he told Niall about Harry. At first his dubious if he'll tell him about his background. But Niall can smell something and insists on spilling the beans.

"Z c'mon. I'm the one you're talking to. This isn't the first time you've told me a secret. Remember when you went into a party and you got a crush by one of our friend's wives that you took her number secretly and ended up in a hotel with her? And that same year you got pissed by Daniel that you uploaded a bunch of S&M photos from Pornhub on his computer? And also that time when you—"

"Alright stop! I got it, okay. Geez.."

Niall is beaming from ear to ear.

Zayn took a deep breath while looking at Niall. "Promise me.. You won't tell anyone.. His safety is my priority." Niall nodded as he slightly move closer.

"He came from a.. Mafia gang.."

Niall's face froze, as if he was trying to figure out if he heard it correctly. Then he saw him blink twice and give him an uncertain smile. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to make sure if I heard you correctly.. You said Mafia Gang..?"
