~Gina's POV~

It was already time for the results. As soon as Jon Ola gave the permission to tell who's going through, a list of qualifiers showed up on the screen in basckstage. The whole organisation team were actually in what we call a "control room" and we knew everything what was happening. The order we got to see is not random, we could see the full rang list with all the points. There was Bulgaria on top with a massive number of points. We were checking some things and realized that was actually a new record. No one from the organisation team is allowed to reveal the rang list from the semi-finals until the finals finish. We were aware of that.

"Wow!" - I said out loud not meaning for that to come out.

In that moment, everyone looked at me having some kind of teasing smiles on their faces.

"What?" - I laughed while my cheeks were slowly turning red from my shyness.

"Nothing, boss." - someone said from the back.

Of course, they knew about me and Kristian. Everyone knew... I didn't even want to hide it anymore, I didn't care about others at all.

Next morning, after all the adrenaline and excitement, we were back again for the preparations. Interval acts rehearsals were up but I was kind of relaxing in the backstage while Tea took over those rehearsals. It was kind of relaxing 'cause I really didn't have much time to rest in that point of time.
Contestants that were going to perform in the first half came so we could arrange what needed to be arranged actually. In all that fuss I saw Kristian at the back.

"What the... Kris? You are in second half! What are you doing here?" - I said from around five- metre distance from him.

"I wanted to see you, though." - he said when he started slowly approaching.

I actually ran towards him and jumped on him giving him the tightest hug ever and probably some back pain because I am not that light.

"Hey, hey.. What's up?" - he was probably confused of how I reacted.

"I probably shouldn't tell you this" - I whispered to his ears - "but you won your semi. The second placed country wasn't even near you." - yes, I was aware that I broke a rule because of him.

"What!? Really?" - he looked at me with a shocked smile on his face.

"Yes, love! I told you!"

"Did you just... Did you just call me..."

I coughed in that moment looking down for a second. I got shy when I realized what I said. I got overhelmed in that moment and wasn't even thinking what I was saying. He was petting me behind my ears in that moment and it felt really comfortable.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah." - I smiled while still looking down.

"Are you shy?" - he realized what was actually happening with me.

"Maybe?" - I looked at him having a cheeky smile on my face.

"Shush! By the way..were you supposed to tell me the results?" - he assumed that what I doing wasn't 'legal'.

"Nope. Oh and don't tell anyone that." - I laughed really hard when I remembered I broke the rule.

"Okay, our little secret. Promise."

He slowly pulled me in a hug. I felt him actually sniffing my hair. I never knew why boys do that until that moment...
