"How are you, my friend?" Jere asked Bojan.
"I was good but now I'm great, because I'm with you." he replied.
"Aww, I'm happy that you feel better when with me."
"Of course I'm better when I'm with you! Don't tell the boys this, but you're my favorite person here." he whispered.
Jere chuckled and grabbed Bojan's arm.

"Come! My team get some chair here." he said and took Bojan to some low chairs placed around a coffee table.
They sat down, sitting by each other.

"When is your interview?" Jere asked the younger.
"I've noticed their going in Alpabetical order so we're probably one of the last."
"Oh okei. I am soon because F is soon in alphabet." he said in his broken English.
"Yeah, Jere I know how the alphabet goes, ya know?" Bojan joked.
"Okei, sorry mister I know everything."

Bojan noticed that Jere's dancers were coming in their way.
"Hei Jere. And hi... Bojan if I'm correct. Sorry I'm still trying to remember all these names." one of the girls said.
"Yes that's right. Don't worry about it, you're definitely better than me, we haven't even met and you know my name." Bojan shook her hand.
"Oh yeah, I'm Etel and these are Katri, Jesse and Matti." she said and every time she said a name, she pointed to the person.
"Were the dancers of this lovely guy here." Matti said.
"He is lovely indeed." Bojan replied and put his arm around Jere's shoulders.

Jere looked like he was all flustered from Bojan's compliment. His eyes were going back and forth, looking at Bojan's arm, his eyes and the dancers in front of him.

"You guys should meet my band. I bet we could get along, the Finns and Slovenes united as one." Bojan dramatized.
"Yes Bojan. Call your friends." Jere spoke in his bad english.

Bojan took his phone and texted Kris, he wasn't bothered to get up and walk to them. Rather than moving his arm from Jere's shoulders, he texted with one hand. Soon the guys were walking in the direction of the Finnish table.

"Hi! Why'd you call us Bojan?" Jan asked.
"Well I thought you guys should get to know Jere's dancers."
"Oh that's a nice idea." Jure said and immediately went to talk to the pink dancers.

"I'm Jure, nice to meet you." he said to each of them and they all introduced each other. Soon all of the band members were sitting at the table, talking to the dancers or each other.

"This really become finnish-slovenian table now." Jere said looking into Bojan's eyes.
Bojan couldn't help but almost stare back. He couldn't stop looking into Jere's beautiful gray-blue eyes. So they had a staring competition which soon became a who-laughs-first competition.

Bojan's mouth was almost smiling, he was trying not to but it was hard. He realized that he was probably full on blushing but he noticed that the Finn's face was also really red. Suddenly Jere started laughing so Bojan did the same. He also started cheering because he won the competition.

"Uhh... The hell was that about?" Kris asked the two laughing.
"I just won a staring competition." Bojan flexed.
"You only win because you red as lobster and that is funny." Jere said.
"Were you blushing Bojan?" Kris asked again, giving Bojan a side-eye.
"No... It's just really hot in here." Bojan awkwardly smiled. "And you were also red!" he said to Jere.

"I am red because you look so good." Jere flirted.
Bojan laughed at his words but when Jere looked away for a second he looked at his band with a face that said "did you guys hear that?".

Jere's dancers and Bojan's band members got into another conversation leaving those two on their own.
