"So, I'm assuming we have a deal, right?" Nunew asked.
Zee hesitated, wanting clarity. "Are you sure about this? No feelings attached?"
"Like that's ever been a problem for me." Nunew chuckled lightly. "But sure, no strings attached."

Nunew's third single showcase had finally arrived. His music video, released a week prior, had already garnered millions of views, quickly becoming a hit.
Zee, as a supportive "boyfriend," had been by Nunew's side throughout the entire process, from filming the music video to its release. Yes, they were still continuing with their deal.
"Chill out, bro. Why do you seem more nervous than the performer?" Tommy teased, noticing Zee's restlessness in his seat.
Zee kept checking his phone and looking around anxiously. The venue was already packed with fans and friends of Nunew, including Zee's friends.
"Why is it taking so long? I'm getting worried," Zee muttered, fidgeting with his phone.
"You've only been apart from my cousin for two hours, and you're already like this?" Max teased.
"Yeah, are you sure this is still a fake boyfriend thing?" Jimmy added, suddenly appearing behind Zee and putting an arm around his shoulder.
"You guys are really ganging up on me again," Zee said, avoiding their eyes. "And you, stop sneaking up on me like that. You're going to give me a heart attack." He removed Jimmy's arm and gently pushed him back into his seat.
The group laughed, shaking their heads at Zee's behavior. They all turned their attention to the front when the announcement was made that Nunew was about to make his entrance, asking everyone to wait a little longer.
It didn't take long before Nunew appeared, gracefully descending the escalator. Everyone in the audience, including Zee, immediately took out their phones to capture the moment. Max glanced at Zee and couldn't help but laugh.
Max teasingly lifted Zee's chin, closing his open mouth, and said, "Just making sure you don't drool."
Zee gave Max a glare and playfully nudge him, making Max laugh even more.
Nunew walked gracefully, giving everyone a warm welcome. As he reached the stage, he scanned the entire crowd. He waved to his friends and, upon seeing Zee, smiled and nodded at him.
He opened the showcase with his song "Unforgettable."
