**Chapter 87: Unintentional Exposure**

The conversation had barely begun to flow again when suddenly, Deku, Bakugo, Todoroki, Kaminari, and Kirishima all turned towards me, their faces frozen in shock. Deku's eyes went wide, Bakugo's eyebrows shot up, Todoroki's jaw dropped, Kaminari's mouth hung open, and Kirishima's face turned bright red. In unison, they exclaimed, "WHAT?!" I jumped out of my seat, my heart racing with panic. "Oh shit, they heard me!" I exclaimed, my face burning with embarrassment. Mina burst out laughing, her eyes shining with amusement. "Your ok, Vesper," she said, trying to calm me down. The boys looked at each other, then back at me, their faces a mix of shock and confusion. Deku took a step forward, his eyes locked on mine. "Vesper, is this... true?" he asked, his voice gentle. I nodded, feeling like I was going to pass out. Bakugo scowled, his eyes narrowing. "You're into all of us?" he asked, his voice laced with skepticism. Todoroki looked like he was trying to process his emotions, his face a mask of calm. Kaminari looked like he was about to burst out laughing, and Kirishima just looked embarrassed. I took a deep breath, trying to explain myself. "I... I didn't mean to say it out loud. It just slipped out." The boys exchanged glances, and I could sense them trying to decide how to react. Mina stood up, her eyes flashing with amusement. "Well, I think we've got a situation here," she said, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. The room fell silent, and I waited with bated breath for the boys' response. Would they be angry? Would they be hurt? Or would they... understand? As I stood there, feeling like I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown, Deku took another step forward. "Vesper, can we... talk about this?" he asked, his eyes locked on mine. I nodded, feeling a sense of trepidation. What would happen next? Only time would tell.
