At first, when you confess to König, he rejects you and believes that you'd be a better friend rather than a lover. Yet, once he sees you weeks later at your promotion party at your favorite bar, he can't stand to see you so close to your friends. The awkwardness of being friend-zoned drifted the two of you apart, but Konig wants to remediate it and take back his words. He does like you more than a friend.
