~Evric's POV~
As I turned toward the crowd, their faces said it all… surprise, shock, disbelief. For me, I wasn't afraid of anything. Not being known as gay or being seen differently didn't matter to me. What weighed heavily on me wasn't myself, it was Zayn.
I knew how much he loved his friends. For him, the problem was never about people finding out he was with a man, it was about the ones closest to his heart. And among them, I discovered there were two people, Dean and Nantam.
Dean already knew about us, but Nantam… he was different. Since the first day I saw him with Zayn, something about him unsettled me. His face, his expressions, they reminded me too much of Nicki. The thought wouldn't leave me, so I asked Karl to quietly check his background for me.
And that's when I found out the truth: Nantam was Nicki's brother.
