Kunal shot me a dejected look before he started speaking.

It wasn't like he didn't try to woo Palak. He was attracted so he tried to diffuse her with his 100% success-rate charms, but she wasn't fazed. Atleast not in a way that resulted in making out in a quiet corner. He realised Palak wasn't the kind to go for timepass and stopped pursuing her. What came instead was a genuine friendship born from various dance practices that turned into something more as the weeks passed by. It was her drive to dance, her innate confidence coupled with her occasional shyness (which was cute as Kunal stated) that impressed him.
