"Where do you think you're going with that?" Zee asked, seeing Nunew holding the wine and glasses.

They could hear the waves crashing gently on the shore as they walked toward the nearest sunlounger on the beach. Zee was now carrying the wine that Nunew had been holding.

"I can't sleep, so I was planning to have a little." Nunew said with a smile.

Zee shook his head and let out a soft chuckle. They reached the sunlounger and sat down. Zee placed the wine bottle and glasses on the table between them.

"You brought two glasses?" Zee asked.

Nunew nodded. "I was actually planning to invite you, but you were already outside my room, so I was really surprised."

Nunew leaned back in his seat, his eyes closed, savoring the soothing sound of the waves and the cool, salty breeze. Zee reached for the wine bottle, carefully pouring the rich, red liquid into both glasses.

He glanced at Nunew, who seemed to be lost in the moment, and softly called his name.

"Nhu," Zee said, extending one of the glasses towards him.

Nunew opened his eyes, a small smile spreading across his face as he took the glass from Zee. He straightened up in his seat, his eyes reflecting the light of the moon as he looked at Zee. They raised their glasses, the soft clink of the crystal echoing gently.

They both took a sip of the wine, savoring the rich, velvety taste. Nunew leaned back again, holding his glass delicately in his hand.

"I really love the beach at night. It's so comforting and peaceful," Nunew said.

Zee hummed in response.

"Are you really okay, Hia?" Nunew asked, still gazing at the beach.

"I'm okay, Nhu. Don't overthink it. I'm usually quiet when I'm with the boys. Sometimes I prefer listening rather than talking," Zee said, turning his gaze to the ocean.

There was a brief silence between them as Zee poured more wine into their glasses. Both took a sip and placed their glasses back on the table. Zee noticed Nunew with his eyes closed again. Zee had something he wanted to ask but felt shy. He took a deep breath and spoke.

"Nhu."

"Hmm?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"What is it?"

"Can I ask who Joss is?"

Nunew slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zee before turning his gaze back to the beach.

"It's okay if you don't want to-" Zee began, but Nunew cut him off.

"Joss was my first boyfriend," Nunew began.

"When I first joined the company, he was the first friend I made. He was always there for me, guiding me and defending me whenever I got into trouble. He felt like a brother to me."

"Then he confessed his feelings for me," Nunew continued, "and my whole view of him changed. I was so confused about my feelings and my sexuality because I had never liked a man before. But he said he was willing to wait for me. He courted me, and eventually, I said yes. We were together for a year, probably the longest relationship I've ever had."

Nunew paused, taking a deep breath. "He was a loving and caring boyfriend at first, but not all good relationships last. When I started my singing career, I got really busy with all the projects that were coming my way. I was naive back then and trusted him completely. I even gave him access to my bank account because he said he needed things. I loved him so much that I was willing to give him everything."
