Second round. Bright spun the bottle, and it landed on Win. "Now it's my turn for revenge, bwahahah!" Bright laughed wickedly. Win rolled his eyes.

"Whatever. Still truth. I don't hide anything, and I'm not scared," Win said, crossing his arms.

"Fine. Do you have a boyfriend?" Bright asked suspiciously.

Win stared at him, speechless. Dew, mid-sip of wine, choked, sputtering the wine across the table in a dramatic spray.  His eyes widened, a mixture of shock and something akin to hopeful anticipation flickering across his face.  He cleared his throat, a nervous tremor in his hand as he reached for his napkin.

"Hmm, something fishy," Bright observed, Nani nodding in agreement.

"No—I mean, yes! I do have a boyfriend! What? Do you have a problem with that?" Win's defensiveness was immediate.

"Why so defensive? I just asked a question," Bright replied. "So, who is your boyfriend?"

Win glanced at Dew, a silent acknowledgment, a blush creeping up his neck. Dew, still slightly flustered, managed a small, almost shy smile.
