J-Hope's eyes met Mr. Sinclair's, expecting to see the usual stern but distant look. Instead, he was met with something entirely different—an expression that didn't resonate with admiration but rather something more probing, even disapproving.
MR. SINCLAIR: [His voice low but sharp, cutting through the night's silence] You like her?

But Jhope wasn't one to back down easily.

J-HOPE: [Keeping his voice steady] With all due respect, Mr. Sinclair, I think she's capable of deciding who's right for her. And I'm not going to walk away just because you say so.
Mr. Sinclair's eyes narrowed slightly, but he said nothing more. Jhope took a deep breath and continued his climb, his determination hardening in his chest.
