Summary:

Vani finds themselves caught in the most chaotic fake dating scenario ever—except Froggy doesn’t even know it’s fake. Iris, Yashvi, and Rowan, a.k.a. "The Highlighters," are determined to play wingman, convinced that Froggy is the one for Vani. But with an impending deadline where everyone is set to leave, things spiral out of control.

Froggy, oblivious to the whole setup, latches onto Vani like a needy cat, much to Vani's dismay. Vani on the other hand
is desperately trying to avoid Froggy, remaining firm in their emotionally avoidant nonsense. Meanwhile, Yashvi shifts fully into her villain-mode, scheming to get Vani to date Froggy and then break up when they all leave.

In an unexpected twist, Santa Claus somehow gets roped into the plot, and there’s a locker room full of Spiderman hoodies.
