Later, they decided to play Truth or Dare. The group settled in a circle on the living room floor, with pillows scattered around for comfort. The atmosphere was filled with a mix of excitement and playful tension.

"Okay, Ate Maloi, truth or dare?" Jhoanna asked, her eyes glinting mischievously.

Maloi grinned confidently, "Dare!"

"I dare you na gayahin kung paano si Coach Mickey tuwing practice," Stacey challenged, stifling a giggle.

Maloi laughed and stood up, exaggerating Coach Mickey's serious demeanor and deep voice. Her impression was so spot-on that everyone burst into laughter, even imagining Coach Mickey's reactions to their antics.

After the laughter subsided, Sheena's turn came up. "Truth or dare, Sheena?"

"Dare!" Sheena replied enthusiastically.

"I dare you to prank call your favorite celebrity and tell them you're their biggest fan," Gwen suggested with a mischievous glint in her eye.

Sheena hesitated for a moment, then grabbed her phone with determination. She scrolled through her contacts, looking for a celebrity's number she had saved for such occasions. With a deep breath, she made the call, her voice trembling with excitement and nervousness. The group held their breath, waiting to see the celebrity's reaction. When it went to voicemail, Sheena sighed with relief, knowing she had dodged a potentially embarrassing moment.

As the game continued, the questions and dares became more creative and daring. They asked about crushes outside the group, embarrassing moments during performances, and even their dreams and aspirations for the future. The atmosphere remained light-hearted, with occasional bursts of laughter and friendly teasing.

"Okay, Jhoanna, truth or dare?" Maloi asked, eager to keep the fun going.

Jhoanna thought for a moment, then grinned mischievously, "Dare!"

"I dare you to dance to any BINI song blindfolded," Maloi challenged, grabbing a scarf to use as a blindfold.

Jhoanna laughed and accepted the challenge, blindfolding herself and dancing to the beat of their latest hit song. Her exaggerated dance moves had everyone laughing and cheering her on, adding to the playful energy of the evening.

Mikha and Aiah thought they had escaped the awkwardness. They sighed with relief, thinking they were safe from the playful teasing of their friends. The game of spin the bottle had been going on for a while now, and it seemed like luck was on their side as the bottle pointed away from them time after time.

Just as they were about to relax and fully enjoy the game, the atmosphere changed. With a sudden and unexpected twist, the bottle, which had been spinning unpredictably, came to a halt and pointed directly at Mikha. Everyone erupted in laughter and playful cheers, causing Mikha to blush furiously. The teasing was light-hearted, but she couldn't help feeling a mix of embarrassment and excitement.

"Truth or dare, Mikha?" Gwen asked with a mischievous grin, twirling a strand of her hair.

"Truth," Mikha answered cautiously, fidgeting with the hem of her shirt.

"May special someone ka ba ngayon?" Maloi probed, leaning forward with a teasing glint in her eye.

Mikha hesitated, "Wala," she replied softly, avoiding eye contact.

"Talaga ba? Parang di ako naniniwala," Stacey teased, giving Mikha a playful nudge. Mikha just rolled her eyes at her.

Before the laughter even died down, the bottle was spun again, and this time, it slowed down agonizingly before finally pointing at Aiah. The group went wild, the energy in the room skyrocketing as they realized the coincidence—or perhaps fate—of the situation. Aiah felt her heart race, a blush creeping up her cheeks as she exchanged a wide-eyed look with Mikha.
