As Taw and Nap shared a heartfelt embrace, Tan and Niko exchanged bemused glances. Taw, reveling in the chance to unravel the mystery, decided to bring clarity to the puzzling situation.
*Taw:* Oh, the confusion on your faces is delightful. Allow me to clarify—Nap is not only my boyfriend but also my fiancé.
Nap, sporting a shy smile, turned towards Tan, who couldn't hide his astonishment.
**Tan:** Wait, what? Engaged and with a boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me?
**Nap:** (grinning) I was saving it for the perfect moment. I guess this is it.

Niko, ever perceptive, caught the subtle interplay between Taw and Nap.
*Niko:* So, Taw, this is why you've been the master of escape during meetings and night missions, huh? Well played.
As Niko spoke, Tan observed him keenly. Sensing the building tension, Taw and Nap gracefully excused themselves, leaving Tan and Niko alone amidst the lively chaos.

In the ensuing silence, Tan confronted Niko about the masked dance, a connection that echoed between them.
*Tan:* You're the masked dancer from that party.
*Niko:* (smiling) Indeed. Niko at your service.
*Tan:* Tan. Fate has a peculiar sense of humor, doesn't it?
Curiosity lingered in the air as they exchanged glances, silently acknowledging the twists and turns of destiny that had brought them together.

As the conversation shifted to more casual matters, Tan and Niko found themselves drawn to each other, sparks of banter igniting a playful chemistry.
*Tan:* What brings you here?
*Niko:* Just finished a mission. Thought I'd grab dinner at a restaurant.
*Tan:* (smirking) Planning to eat, or just a cover story because I'm around?
Niko observed Tan, his eyes holding a playful glint.
**Niko:** Well, it seems I'm not the only one indulging in a bit of flirting.
Their banter escalated, and as Tan closed the distance, the unspoken tension crackled between them.

In a whispered exchange, their chemistry intensified, secrets and desires dancing on the edges of their conversation.
*Tan:* Are you asking me out right now?
**Niko:** (smirking) Maybe...
