Later that night, after the pool party, Yuvraj suggested they continue the evening with a bonfire by the resort's beach. The group gathered around the crackling fire, drinks in hand, enjoying the warmth of the flames and the sound of the waves in the distance.

Tarini sat close to Yuvraj, feeling relaxed in the cozy atmosphere until he handed her a short, black dress she found uncomfortably revealing. "Yuvraj, I'm not sure about this dress," she whispered, her unease evident.

He smiled persuasively, his voice low. "Trust me, Tarini. You'll look absolutely stunning. Everyone will be amazed."

Reluctantly, Tarini changed into the dress, feeling exposed and self-conscious. Its short length and black color drew attention as she walked back to join the group around the bonfire. She could feel the eyes of Yuvraj's friends lingering on her, making her uncomfortable.

As the evening progressed and drinks flowed, someone suggested playing a game by the bonfire.

Rohan, Yuvraj's adventurous friend, grinned mischievously. "I've got an idea. Let's play a game. Whoever doesn't dance when asked has to jump into the pool!"

Laughter and cheers erupted from the group, the alcohol adding to their enthusiasm. Yuvraj glanced at Tarini with a playful challenge in his eyes. "Come on, Tarini. Show us your moves!"

Tarini's heart sank. She wasn't comfortable dancing in such revealing attire, especially under pressure. She looked around, hoping someone would come to her rescue, but the group was eagerly awaiting her response.

Aditya nudged her teasingly. "Don't be shy, Tarini. It's just a bit of fun. Dance with us!"

Yuvraj's expression was encouraging yet expectant. "You'll be great, darling. Show them how amazing you look."

Feeling trapped and not wanting to disappoint Yuvraj or face the consequence of being thrown into the pool, Tarini reluctantly stood up. She took a deep breath, trying to muster the courage to go through with it.

As the music played, Tarini danced hesitantly at first, trying to maintain her composure despite feeling exposed and uncomfortable. The group cheered and clapped, urging her on. She forced a smile, desperately hoping the ordeal would end soon.

After what felt like an eternity, the song finally ended. Tarini quickly made her way back to Yuvraj's side, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. He tried to pull her into a hug, but she stepped back, her eyes pleading for understanding.

"Yuvraj, can we talk?" she whispered urgently, her voice barely audible over the crackling fire.

He frowned, sensing her distress. "Of course, Tarini. What's wrong?"

She took a deep breath, her voice shaking slightly. "I don't feel comfortable being pressured into things like that. It's not fair."

Yuvraj's face fell, realizing his mistake. "I'm sorry, Tarini. I didn't mean for you to feel that way. I thought you'd be okay with it."

Tears welled up in Tarini's eyes. "I did it because I didn't want to be thrown into the pool, not because I wanted to. Please understand."

Yuvraj nodded solemnly, his expression filled with regret. "I understand now. I should have respected your feelings. I'm really sorry, Tarini."
