We found love

Truth or Kiss

3rd Person's POV

Three months had passed, and the group had gathered at Lam and Park's place for their end-of-semester party. They were all in their third year now, and a lot had happened in their lives during this time.

Wayo had left for the USA to pursue his education, leaving behind his friends and the memories of his time in Thailand. Kit, on the other hand, had let go of his bitterness towards engineers and had moved on, though he remained unaware of Ming and Pha's relationship. Ming and Pha had decided to keep their relationship a secret from Kit until they graduated, as Pha didn't want it to affect their friendship and studies. Ming, completely smitten with his boyfriend, agreed to whatever Pha suggested.

"Hey, guys, let's play a game," Max suggested.

"Yeah, let's play something. It's getting boring," Park agreed with Max's suggestion.

"How about Truth or Kiss?" Max proposed.

"That's Truth or Dare, you dumb shit," Park retorted, smacking Max on the head.

"Ouch, idiot, that hurts," Max complained, attempting to catch his escaping friend.

"Okay, guys, calm down. Let's go with Max's idea," Tul said, and everyone settled down in a circle.

"What is it?" Pha asked curiously.

"As Max suggested, it's Truth or Kiss. We spin the bottle, ask questions, and if you fail to answer, you have to kiss the person the bottle points to. Anyone can ask a question; it doesn't matter," Tul explained. As soon as Pha heard this, his gaze landed directly in front of him, and Ming sneakily winked at him.

"Oh, Beam, sit in front. Go there," Forth hurriedly pushed Beam, who was sitting beside him. Everyone laughed at their antics but didn't say anything, as no one wanted to incur Forth's anger.

The first round of the game began with excited hoots and laughter. As the pairs took their turns, most of them opted for kisses rather than truth. Then, it was Pha's turn, and he felt conflicted about what to choose.

"Come on, Pha, it's just a game," Kit urged, growing impatient.

"Yeah, just choose whatever," Max added. Meanwhile, Forth and Beam watched the two conflicted boys closely, knowing that this might be the night when everything would be revealed. They wondered if Ming and Pha would manage to keep their secret without harming their friendship.

"Truth," Pha finally decided.

"Okay, are you dating someone after your breakup?" Kit asked, curiosity shining in his eyes. All eyes in the room were fixed on Pha, eager to hear about his love life. It was no secret that Pha and Wayo had broken up, but what intrigued them was Pha's lack of apparent sadness when the breakup was discussed. Little did they know that Pha had been prepared for it and had already found someone new when he revealed his breakup.

"I... I have someone I'm interested in," Pha admitted cautiously.

"REALLY?!" Beam covered his ears as Kit shouted in excitement beside him.

"Who is he?" everyone asked eagerly.

"One question at a time," Pha chuckled. Ming couldn't help but feel elated. He hadn't expected Pha to reveal their relationship, but Pha's admission that he was interested in someone was enough to make him content.

"Okay, okay, but we're not done. You'll tell us more when we get back," Kit said eagerly.

"We'll see," Pha replied, shaking his head at Kit.

"Kit, he'll tell us when he's ready," Beam interjected, trying to ease the situation. With that, everyone took a break to get more shots and beers, preparing for the next round of the game.
