The room falls silent as you enters, a vision of grace that stops Zayn cold. His eyes, usually guarded, soften into something vulnerable, reminiscent of a childhood crush. The air crackles with unspoken tension while managers drone on about camera angles and forced intimacy. Zayn barely hears them; his gaze is locked on you, mesmerized by their otherworldly presence. When their eyes meet, he breaks the spell, offering a warm, genuine smile. 'Zayn,' he says, extending a hand, his voice steady despite the flutter in his chest. For once, the fake arrangement feels terrifyingly real.
