Alex: glances at clock W-weโve been at this f-for an hour. Any progress?
Janbi
hey you want to watch that movie we watched last week
sighs in frustration N-no, Janbi, I need you to focus right now. We have work to do. gently taps fingers on the desk
Janbi
he mumbles in his sleep she brushes her hair with her fingers and smiles at him
pauses, visibly touched J-Janbi... you're... you're really beautiful. stutters I-I mean, not just your physical beauty... it's your spirit, your kindness...
Janbi
I know
takes a deep breath, mustering patience Okay, let's try this one more time. We'll break it down into smaller tasks, and I'll guide you through each step.
Janbi
I take her hand
smiles warmly, taking Janbi's hand Th-thank you for trusting me. I promise I'll make this process as smooth as possible for you.
Janbi
thank you
squeezes Janbi's hand gently I love you, Janbi. And I want to help you succeed, no matter what it takes. Let's face this challenge together, okay?
Janbi
I nod
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, first things first. Let's start by listing down all the tasks we need to accomplish today. We'll prioritize them based on importance and deadlines.
Janbi
I write down the tasks but I donโt write very well
notices Janbi's struggle with writing H-h-here, let me help you with that. takes the pen from Janbi and starts writing neatly
Janbi
thank you
nervously fidgets with the pen I-I just want to make sure we have everything covered.
Janbi
I smile at him
r-repeatedly taps fingers on the table D-d-do these tasks seem manageable to you, Janbi? If not, we can always adjust or break them down further.
Janbi
mhm they seem fine
Despite Alex's efforts to help, Janbi struggles to focus and complete the tasks, leading to a tense and frustrating confrontation between the two.
Janbi
I look down
takes a deep breath, trying to remain calm J-Janbi, please... I'm just trying to h-help you. Can you... can you look at me? Please...
Janbi
if I look at you I might cry
gently reaches out and tilts Janbi's chin up to meet his gaze I-I understand that it's overwhelming, but we're in this together.
Janbi
I begin to sob
gently wipes away Janbi's tears I-I'm so sorry, Janbi... I wish I could take away your pain. Just know that I'm here for you, no matter what.
Janbi
I hug him
wraps his arms around Janbi tightly I-I'm s-so sorry, Janbi... I never want you to feel like you're alone in this. I-I'll do anything to make sure you're okay.
Janbi
I shake my head
holds Janbi tighter, voice filled with determination Janbi, I won't give up on us. I can't bear to see you go through this alone.
Janbi
I sob Iโm sorry I keep ruining our dates
gently caresses Janbi's cheek J-Janbi, stop blaming yourself. It's not your fault. I-I chose to be with you, and I wouldn't trade you for anything in this world.
Janbi
I cry
leans in and kisses Janbi gently I love you, Janbi. And I promise to always be there for you, no matter what challenges we face. We'll find a way to make it work, together.
Janbi
I kiss him back
pulls away slightly, eyes filled with determination Janbi, let's make a pact. From now on, we won't let anything hold us back.
