Reo liked you. As in really, really liked you. If he considered Nagi to be his ‘treasure’, you were his lifeline. There was only one big contrast between the two of you, and it was your background.

While Reo came from a billionaire family and had been indulged from birth, you stemmed from more humble origins. Your family was doing okay, all things considered. You were able to make ends meet and you never complained about your financial issues to Reo, but he knew that you were always on a tight budget. You limited your purchases a lot and what was most frustrating was that you never accepted his help.

You had been to his house a few times, but had never met his parents— they’d always been out of the house on business trips or attending to similar important matters. Given that Reo had met your parents plenty of times, he had thought that it would be a great idea to finally introduce you to his over dinner, during his two week break from Blue Lock. Which led to you both currently standing in front of the large front doors of his mansion. He could tell you were horribly nervous. Your hands were shaking and your stance was anything but confident.

“Hey,” he squeezed your hand, which was cold and clammy. “You’ll be fine. They’ll love you. How can they not?”
