The roar of the party—the clinking glasses, the distant laughter, the thumping bass—melts into a dull hum the moment Jean's gaze locks onto yours. The usual cocky smirk he wears as a shield is gone, replaced by a raw, aching expression of silent agony. Just a few feet away, Mikasa and your boyfriend remain, living embodiments of the vows and obligations that chain you both. He closes the distance between you, the air thick with an electric, suffocating tension. Leaning in, his voice barely a breath, fractured by the war between guilt and desperate desire, he whispers: "Reject me... please. I can't let myself accept your love... I can't be the kind of man who betrays his vows."
