As the sun began to rise the day after the event, the group gathered at their meeting place, having arranged for a chartered bus to transport them to the beach resort, allowing for a relaxed and comfortable journey.

Zee was the first to board the bus and took a seat at the front. He placed his belongings in the overhead compartment and then noticed Max and Nat settling in across him. Zee finished arranging his things and was about to step back outside when Max stopped him.

"Where are you going? The bus is about to leave," Max asked.

"I'm just going to wait for Nhu outside. He's not here yet," Zee replied. Max chuckled and nodded in understanding.

As Zee stepped off the bus, he was greeted by Leang.

"Phi, do you know where Nhu is?" Zee asked.

"Ah yes, he called earlier and said he woke up late," Leang replied, checking his phone. "Hmm, he should be here any minute now..." Leang looked around, and Zee followed his gaze.

"There!" Leang exclaimed, pointing in the distance.

Zee squinted, trying to spot what Leang was pointing at. In the distance, he saw Nunew running towards them, dragging a small suitcase behind him. Zee smiled as he watched Nunew approach.

'He looks so cute and small in that oversized t-shirt. I wonder how he would look in my clothes' Zee thought, smiling to himself but quickly shaking off the thought.

Before they knew it, Nunew was standing in front of them. He was still in his pajamas, only having his shirt changed.

"Sorry, I'm—" Nunew paused, bending over with one hand on his knee and the other held up in a stopping gesture. "Late," he finished, catching his breath.

"Why did you even run kiddo? Who told you to run?" Leang laugh crossing his arms, glancing at Zee, who just smiled.

Nunew stood up straight and smiled. "I saw your text saying the bus was about to leave! What did you want me to do, walk down like a beauty queen? Of course I'll run, I didn't want to be left behind," he complained.

Zee chuckled at Nunew's grumbling, which made Nunew look at him. It seemed like Nunew hadn't noticed Zee was with his manager in his rush.

"Hia~ You're here too," Nunew said softly, his frown replaced with a smile.

"Yes, I was waiting for you," Zee responded.

Leang shook his head at Nunew and said, "Look how this kid switches his mood so quickly. Just sees his lover, and all the anger vanishes," Leang teased.

"Phi!" Nunew whispered loudly, widening his eyes, which made Zee laugh.

"Okay, okay. Let's get on the bus now, or we'll be late," Leang said.

Zee approached Nunew and took his luggage. Nunew entered the bus first and was greeted by Nat. He smiled at Nat and gave him a teasing look when he saw Max sitting next to him.

"The only seat left is next to me. Is that okay?" Zee asked from behind him.

Nunew nodded and took the window seat while Zee placed their belongings in the overhead compartment. Zee then sat beside Nunew.

"I think that's everyone. It's 6 AM now, so I think we would arrive at the resort by 9 AM," Leang announced. "Feel free to relax. Call me if you need anything," he added before leaving.

"I can't wait to hit the beach! It's been ages since we all got to relax like this together," Nat said, looking out the window, unable to contain his excitement.
