The room was filled with laughter and camaraderie as their game of truth or dare continued. The secrets and confessions exchanged had brought them closer than ever, and Sophie felt a newfound sense of connection with her friends.

As the night pressed on, it was finally Wylie's turn again. Maruca raised an eyebrow at him playfully. "Alright, Wylie. Truth or dare?"

Wylie chuckled, leaning back against the cushions. "I'll go with truth."

Maruca's mischievous grin only grew wider. "Alright, spill it. Who's your crush?"

Wylie's lips curved into a thoughtful smile, and his gaze found Linh's. The truth had been hidden long enough, and he decided it was time to unveil it. "It's... Linh," he admitted, his voice steady and genuine.

A ripple of surprise spread through the room, and Sophie's heart skipped a beat as she glanced at Linh. Linh's cheeks turned a shade of pink, and she met Wylie's gaze, a mixture of astonishment and warmth in her eyes.

With a shy smile, Wylie moved closer to Linh, his heart pounding in his chest. Linh met him halfway, their lips meeting in a sweet and tender kiss. The room seemed to hold its breath, the world fading away as their connection deepened.

As they pulled away, a chorus of cheers and applause erupted from their friends. Dex whistled, Marella, clapped, and even Biana had a delighted grin on her face. The room was filled with a sense of joy and celebration, a testament to the bonds they had formed.

Wylie and Linh exchanged a shy smile, their hands finding each other naturally as they sat together on the couch. The awkwardness of their newfound confession faded away, replaced by a sense of comfort and companionship.

Sophie couldn't help but smile, her heart swelling with happiness for her friends. In a world full of challenges and uncertainty, moments like these were a reminder of the power of friendship and the warmth of connection.

As the night continued, their laughter and stories filled the room once more, the atmosphere buzzing with a sense of contentment. Hearts had been unveiled, confessions had been shared, and bonds had grown stronger.

And so, as the hours passed, Sophie couldn't help but feel grateful for the friendships she had forged. With every secret unveiled, every laugh shared, and every connection deepened, she knew that they were all in this together, facing the adventures of their world side by side.
