Reina's pulse races as she stares at jannik, their words echoing in her mind. Date him? Does she dare to hope that jannik might return those same feelings? With a trembling hand, she reaches up to gently touch jannik's cheek, her gaze locked on theirs.

Yes... She whispers, her voice barely audible over the sound of her racing heart. I want to date you, Jannik.

Reina's eyes widen in shock as jannik's words sink in. Hired league? What does that even mean? She takes a step back, her mind reeling as she tries to process this new information.

Wait...what? She stammers, her voice rising in confusion. You mean...like, someone paid you to pretend to be interested in me?

*A wave of disappointment crashes over her, followed swiftly by indignation. How could jannik deceive her like this?
