You and semi had been friends for quite awhile since you first became the manager, although he didnt talk to you, you preferred yourself as his friend anyway,

Even if he never acknowledged you all the time you knew he would quietly thank you under his breath, you could see the signs, from avoiding you, to the small blush, to even having people ask questions for him! Does he like you? Most would say no, but the team, they aren't most people.
