*As the evening shadows settled in Shubman's house, regret cast its long shadow over him. The weight of his impulsive actions prompted Shubman to flood Ishan with a barrage of apologetic messages.*

Shubman (texting): Ishan, I messed up. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you.

*In the solitude of his own thoughts, Shubman found himself talking aloud, grappling with the realization of the impact of his actions.*

Shubman: (to himself) What have I done? Why couldn't I control myself?

*The torrent of regret fueled a decision within Shubman. He resolved to make amends, deciding to return to Ishan's place early in the morning, hoping for a chance to apologize in person and mend the fractured pieces of their friendship.*

*In the early morning light, Shubman, fueled by remorse and determination, sped towards Ishan's apartment. Ignoring the hour, he reached the front door and rang the bell persistently, fully aware that it was an ungodly hour.*

Mayank: (rubbing his eyes) Kon aa gaya itni subha subha?

*To his surprise, the door swung open, revealing Mayank, still in the haze of sleep. Shubman, disbelief written on his face, grappled with the unexpected encounter.*

Shubman: (bewildered) Mayank? Tu yaha kyu?

Mayank: (sarcastically) Oh, I don't know, maybe trying to get some sleep? Now, who's this guy at my friend's door at the crack of dawn?

*As Mayank, half-asleep and perplexed, confronted Shubman, the unspoken tension in the air hinted at the complexities that awaited them in the wake of Ishan's turbulent night.*

*Mayank, still groggy from sleep, couldn't resist the opportunity to tease Shubman about the events of the previous night. As Shubman's frustration simmered beneath the surface, Mayank casually responded to Shubman's inquiries.*

Mayank: (teasingly) So, what brings you here at the crack of dawn, Shubman? Looking for your cricket celebration partner?

Shubman: (seriously) Mayank, has Ishan told you everything that happened yesterday?

Mayank: (casually) Oh, you mean the unexpected kiss episode? Yeah, Ishan spilled the beans. Why?

*As Shubman, frustration building, sought answers, Mayank continued his lighthearted banter.*

Mayank: (teasing) Chill, bro. Your baby girl is sleeping. What else does a normal person do in the early morning?

*The air between them crackled with a mix of teasing and unspoken tension, setting the stage for a conversation that promised to unravel the complexities of the night before.*

*Shubman, his mind a whirlwind of emotions, rushed into Ishan's room, driven by a need to ensure Ishan was okay. Mayank, grinning mischievously, couldn't help but indulge in his thoughts about the unfolding drama.*

Mayank: (grinning) Shubman on a rescue mission, huh?

*While Mayank playfully shipped the duo, Shubman's mind was a tumultuous sea of questions. As he sat near the sleeping Ishan, doubts and insecurities crept in.*

Shubman: (thinking) Does Ishan like Mayank? Why did I let him stay here? What if there's something between them?

*Gazing at the peaceful slumber of Ishan, Shubman grappled with unspoken tensions, his mind haunted by the uncertainty of the evolving dynamics and the questions that lingered in the air.*

*Mayank, breaking the tension with two cups of coffee, strolled into Ishan's room, handing one to Shubman. His playful tone carried a hint of mischief as he addressed Shubman's unspoken insecurities.*

Mayank: (teasingly) Relax, Shubman. Your boyfriend is not interested in me. We're just homies, bro.

*Shubman, feeling a mix of embarrassment and relief, took a sip of the coffee. Mayank, enjoying the moment, continued to playfully poke at Shubman's nerves.*

Shubman: (awkwardly) He's not my boyfriend... yet.

*Mayank burst into laughter, reveling in the opportunity to tease Shubman some more.*

Mayank: (laughing) "Yet"? You're thinking ahead, my man. Ishan's still sleeping, and you're already planning the relationship milestones.

*As Shubman, now caught in a playful banter, navigated through the light-hearted teasing, the room echoed with laughter.*
