Meet me, in the Parallel Universe (Completed)

Chapter 11

After lunch, Nunew excused himself, mentioning that he would go back to the room to change his outfit. His friends nodded in understanding, and Nunew didn't speak to Zee, leaving an unspoken tension in the air.

Sensing that something was amiss, Zee decided to address the issue directly. He approached Jane, expressing the need for a private conversation. Zee clarified that his romantic interest was solely focused on Nunew and urged Jane to refrain from flirting, emphasizing that it was important for the harmony within the group.

Zee, with a firm resolve, left the conversation and walked towards their room, hoping to find Nunew and clear any misunderstandings that might have arisen during lunch.

As Zee entered the room, he found Nunew in the process of changing his outfit. The room, with its gentle sunlight filtering through the curtains, provided a warm and intimate setting.

Zee, wanting to dispel any lingering tension, took a deep breath and spoke from the heart.

Zee: "Hey, Nunew, can we talk?"

Nunew, looking up from what he was doing, nodded and gestured for Zee to continue.

Zee: "I noticed things were a bit off at lunch. I want you to know that my eyes are only on you. I'm not interested in anyone else, especially not Jane. She's a friend, but you're the one I care about."

Nunew, his expression softening, met Zee's gaze.

Nunew: "I appreciate you saying that. It means a lot. I guess I let the jealousy get the better of me back there."

Zee, closing the distance between them, smiled reassuringly.

Zee: "No need to feel jealous. It's just you and me, okay?"

Nunew nodded, and Zee continued, "I care about you a lot, Nunew. More than just as a friend." 

Feeling the sincerity in Zee's words, Nunew's tension melted away. As Zee walked closer, he gently wrapped his arms around Nunew in a tight embrace. The room seemed to cocoon them in a moment of shared understanding and comfort.

Zee whispered softly, "I mean it, Nunew. You're special to me, and I want you to feel secure in our connection."

Nunew, reciprocating the hug, whispered back, "Thank you, Zee. I appreciate your honesty and the way you make me feel."

Zee gently pulled away from the hug and smiled at Nunew.

Zee: "Alright, go change in the bathroom. I'll wait for you here. Let's take a stroll by the beach and enjoy the rest of our day."

Nunew, feeling the warmth of Zee's company, nodded with a grateful smile. He headed towards the bathroom to change into a fresh outfit, looking forward to a carefree and enjoyable time with Zee by the beach.

As Nunew emerged from the bathroom, Zee couldn't help but appreciate the sight of him in the tank top and white lace. However, a possessive instinct stirred within Zee, and he gently suggested, "Hey, how about you wear white pants instead of shorts? I just... I don't want other guys staring at your legs."

Nunew, sensing Zee's protective concern, smiled understandingly and agreed, "Sure, Zee. If it makes you feel more comfortable, I'll change into white pants."

Zee's request, driven by a desire to ensure Nunew's comfort and preserve a sense of intimacy between them, revealed the depth of his feelings. As Nunew went back to change, Zee couldn't help but reflect on the complexities of emotions that come with caring for someone special.

Walking along the beach hand in hand, Zee and Nunew enjoyed the serenity of the shoreline. The rhythmic sound of waves and the gentle touch of the breeze created a perfect backdrop for their shared moments.
