~Zayn's POV~
I immediately took up a serious tone. "Evans, if you're waiting for Nantam to come to you and openly admit his feelings, I hate to break it to you—but that day isn't going to come."
Evans looked crushed. I met his gaze firmly. "That day isn't coming. Nantam is genuinely afraid of getting hurt by love, and with everything already complicated between you two, the situation with Nicki and Evric, the family history, he's not going to trust easily, nor will he openly admit he has feelings for you."
"But if you truly like him, and I can sense that Nantam does feel something for you, you can't wait for him to confess. You'll have to take the initiative and make that day happen yourself."
I leaned closer, conspiratorially. "If possible, just force him to confess, just like how your brother did to me."
Evans's eyes brightened with sudden, eager curiosity. "How? Nantam usually ignores my calls! He only answers if I keep calling nonstop."
