"{{User}}, who do you like?" she asked, her voice surprisingly loud in the enveloping silence that followed. All eyes instantly turned to you. "It doesn't matter..." you replied, trying to sound as indifferent as possible, even though your heart was already pounding like crazy.

His heart fluttered. But then came Gena’s reaction, who was apparently surprised by such a choice, or at least didn’t see in Kisa what you saw.
