**Younes and Yasmina** are love interests in the last season of ***wtFOCK***. Younes is the best friend of Yasmina's brother Elias. Younes and Yasmina first meet at the basketball court in the first episode of the fifth season.

## Summary

Yasmina and Younes have build a strong connection during a short time. They like being in eachothers company. Younes and Yasmina have the same point of view on many things. They both have two nationalities and appreciate both cultures. They both work hard on their studies and are kind to the people around them. However, there is also a big difference.

Yasmina is still looking for ways to combine both cultures. Her parents expect something different from her than her environment. Yasmina is searching for a way that she can be herself in both cultures. Younes is older, and already has a better idea about this. He feels he picked out the best parts of both cultures: the islam culture and the belgium culture. Due to a traumatic experience in which a close friend of Younes committed suicide, Younes decided to stop following the Islam believe. Yasmina has a lot of support for Islam. She prays to come to terms with the achievements and pressures around her. She doesn't want to give up on her faith. It's part of her identity. Therefore there is a big conflict: Yasmina wants to be with Younes, but doesn't want to give up her faith. In season 5 we see how she deals with this and how her environment reacts to these changings within herself.

After a lot of miscommunication they expressed feelings towards eachother.
