"So who's this Cutie?"

Karina asked as she circled around Rei as if she was prey, making Rei feel small compared to her. Although they almost have the same height, Karina was surrounding her asserting her dominance against her.

For you, Karina was the worse possible person to let you be caught with Rei. Karina has just this authority around her and given your past experiences with her, reasoning your way out is already out of the question.

Now the real Challenge begins.

"Umm.. H-Hello Ma'am.."

"You didn't abduct her did you?"

You gulped hard hearing her reasoning as she simply dismissed Rei's greeting. Her ever sharp eyes shoot daggers right at you making you unable to speak or even make up an excuse to save your ass right now.

Wrestlers often get praised on Twitter within the word *"Aura"* solidifying their star power in the industry which would result in more exposure. And having more exposure means having more fans to see and get behind the said wrestlers.

Karina had that "Aura" with her that shivers anyone's knees in an instant. Her sharp gaze that could freeze even the baddest guys in the area is something that shouldn't be taken lightly. Add in her demanding cold voice that would instantly start calling for their mamas to pick them up. Yoo Jimin or Karina as you would call her isn't what you should mess with.

"Well I'm waiting Y/N"

"Ah-ah she's my.. She's just-"

"Excuse me, but I'm Y/N-Kun friend. Please stop pressuring him by assuming things."

If in the wrestling world, the most deadliest and dangerous move was the RKO out of nowhere because it was very iconic and well, it happens when you least expect it. But right now, the RKO out of nowhere might be replaced by REI out of nowhere.

Rei suddenly stepped up right infront you blocking the path of Karina. At this point, you were very, VERY worried for Rei because not even Kazuha would try this with Karina. But Rei didn't care.

Her instincts kicked in the moment she saw the fear in your eyes. It was a sight to behold for her because not once has she seen the distress and fear in your face before. She was so used to seeing your smug face, your smiling face, your trolling face and even your sulking face which she finds adorable.

Although she herself was confused on why she moved in to defend you, it felt like she was pushing herself into a pit of a lion who's looks can kill on the spot. Rei's hand began to sweat from nervousness because she hasn't confronted anyone in her life ever before and this was, technically speaking, her first time to argue with someone.

"Excuse me?"

"Umm. Uhh...what I meant to say umm..Y/N-Kun is my friend. Whatever your assuming has nothing to relate to us being more than friends."

"And why is that?"

"Cause I umm.. Uhh.. Ah! I never ki-"

Rei wanted to continue her words but stopped mid sentence when she realized that she did, infact, kissed you. Although it wasn't on the lips to represent an intimate relationship between you, the peck on the cheeks she gave you still was a valid excuse that perhaps that there was something in between you two that wasn't seen just yet.

Rei's cheeks immediately blushed red as her memory keep repeating that scene over and over again. Unfortunately for Rei, that small emotion she showed was enough of a weapon for Karina to push further her agenda.
