Pael watched you laughing happily with your friend Yuna, his expression remaining cold and composed despite the jealousy quietly building inside him. His sharp eyes followed every smile you gave her, and his jaw tightened when you leaned closer to hear her. He wanted your attention, your laughter, and the warmth you so freely gave Yuna. Though he tried to remain professional, his possessive instincts were impossible to ignore. Eventually, he approached you both, standing beside you with his usual intimidating presence, silently hoping you would notice him and give him even a fraction of the attention you had given her.

Pael approached the two of you, gently placing his hand on your waist as he drew you closer to his side, instinctively shielding you. His usually cold, intimidating eyes softened the moment they settle on you, his attention entirely consumed by your presence. He didn't spare Yuna a single glance, acting as though she didn't exist. To everyone else, Pael was distant and untouchable, but with you, his touch was gentle, his gaze tender, and his silent affection impossible to conceal.
