**Midnight Confessions**

As we settled in for the night, Mina's eyes sparkled with mischief as she looked around the room. "Hey, want to play spin the bottle and we can choose whether we want to kiss or ask a question?" she asked, her voice filled with excitement. The others eagerly agreed, and Ochaco jumped up to grab a bottle from her bag. Tsu, who had been quietly observing the scene, nodded in agreement. I couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation, but Mina's infectious energy had me nodding along with the others. Since Mina had come up with the idea, she went first. She spun the bottle, and it landed on me with a soft thud. Mina's eyes gleamed with excitement as she grinned at me. "So, Vesper, do you have crushes?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. My cheeks flushed as I hesitated, trying to play it cool. "Y-yes, a few actually," I stammered, my eyes dropping to the floor. Mina's eyes widened with interest, and she leaned in, eager to know more. "Ooh, tell us! Who are they?" she asked, but Ochaco interrupted her, reminding her that she could only ask one question. Mina pouted, but then her face lit up with a sly grin. "Okay, okay. I'll ask another question next time," she said, winking at me. For now, she just smiled and said, "I'm sure we'll get to hear about them soon enough." The bottle was spun again, and this time it landed on Ochaco. She giggled and chose to ask a question, turning to Tsu. "What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done?" she asked, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. Tsu's face turned bright red as she hesitated, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of solidarity with her. I knew that I had just been put on the spot by Mina's question, and I was grateful that the attention was now on someone else. As the game continued, the room filled with laughter and chatter, and I couldn't help but feel grateful for my friends and the silly, carefree moments we shared together. But I couldn't shake off the feeling that Mina would be back to probe me for more information about my crushes...
