Johan's eyes were still widened as he stared at Lukas in disbelief, waiting for his answer.

Lukas rolled his eyes. "You didn't hear me? I told you that you have to get closer to Violett," he said.

Johan then blinked quickly a few times before he

 slammed his hands on the ground and bent over to Lukas. "W-Why?!" he asked, exalted.

Lukas sighed. "The answer is obvious. I noticed that you took a liking to her," he said.

Johan's cheeks blushed when he heard Lukas's answer. "W-What are you talking about?!" he asked.

Lukas sighed once again. "Could you please calm down?" he asked.

Johan gritted his teeth. "How could I?!" he asked back.

Lukas cleared his throat. "Please, sit down first, and then I'll tell you exactly why I want you to get closer to Violett," he said.

After a short break, Johan took a few deep breaths, and sat back down. "Okay. Tell me, then," he said.
