Just finished Asim, I'm pretty meh about him and especially about Rene and his hoverhand+not looking at you ever-ness but I really liked both in this. Overall this event has been pretty amusing.
So for Asim vs Rene, Rene spent the entire time teasing Asim and MC about how uptight and bland he is and that Rene should be the one to take MC around the festival and show her a good time for once. Asim gets upset that MC is having fun with Rene, and MC is kinda happy to see Asim jealous/showing any feeling at all. Rene challenges Asim to a basketball contest (yes lol) and that if Asim wins Rene will leave them alone, but if he loses Rene gets to kiss MC. So the two princes are evenly matched on freethrows (I'm still laughing picturing these two in full royal outfits throwing basketballs especially Asim XD), and on the tie breaker, Rene comes over to whisper intimately to MC and cause Asim to be distracted by jealousy and miss the shot. Rene then goes for his shot and wins, and the festival crowd cheers.
Asim is depressed and apologizes profusely to MC for losing. Rene then takes MC into his arms and puts his hand on her cheek, going in for his winner's kiss. Just as MC is thinking how she can't go through with it, suddenly she's pulled away and lifted into Asim's arms. He apologizes for being a sore loser and embarrassing her like this - and then he kisses her possessively, in front of Rene and the crowd who cheer again. Rene proudly states that this was his plan all along to get Asim to show some passion for MC's sake, and to Asim's surprise MC admits she is happy to see this side of him. (｡・//ε//・｡)
