It leads Kassy to admit she wasn't sure if Johnnie was serious, saying, “We joke around and stuff, but I didn’t understand if it's really joking or not. I kept looking at you, and I kept wanting to talk to you. So I was like ‘I’m low-key down for this,’” she adds, before Johnnie revealed more about her feelings.
“I favor people that fetch out a joy side in me, and I experience fun when I’m with you,” she said. “I fee
