"I already guessed it" Anto said nonchalantly, playing with the nail of his right index finger.
Wiro grabbed Julian by the collar with his right hand and shouted.

"Wiro... Chill~, we're attracting a lot of attention" Alvin said with a gentle smile.

"Tch... damn!" Wiro muttered.
Wiro sat back down.
"Sorry, Julian!" Wiro said.
"It's okay" Julian replied quietly with a blank expression.
"So, Julian. What's making it difficult for you to tell the truth?" Alvin asked.
"I... I just don't know the right time yet," Julian replied quietly.
The atmosphere fell silent, as his three friends stared at him seriously.
