"I hate this," he murmured, his voice low and intense. "It pains me to see you like this." He paused, his gaze flickering with a mix of anger and protectiveness. "Especially after you sacrificed so much to be here with me. You left everything behind, your family, your friends..." His voice trailed off, the unspoken words hanging heavy in the air. "I feel responsible for your happiness and seeing you so devastated..." He didn't need to finish the sentence. You knew exactly how much your well-being meant to him.
A flicker of a smile touched your lips. Despite the turmoil within you, warmth washed over you at his words. "Hey," you said softly, squeezing his hand back. "It's not your fault. This is all on her. Don't blame yourself." You lifted your other hand and gently cupped his cheek, your touch lingering for a moment. "I wouldn't trade being here with you for anything. This new life, this new challenge...it's worth it, even with these hiccups." Your voice held a newfound resolve.
H/N looked at you softly, his thump caressing your hand. "If you want to quit, we'll find you another job. But knowing you, my darling, you'll prove her and everyone else wrong," he affirmed, a small smile playing on his lips. His confidence in you warmed your heart. He knew you just too well.
"That's exactly what I'm going to do," you declared firmly, meeting his gaze with determination. "I won't let those two owls intimidate me. They're going to see what I'm capable of."
"That's my girl," H/N beamed proudly at you. His faith in your abilities was unwavering, and you couldn't help but melt at his steadfast support.
"Oppaaaaa, thank you for your patience and your words of encouragement. I'd be lost without you," you murmured gratefully, holding him tightly. "Thank you for coming straight to me without hesitation. I love you."
H/N gently stroked your back, his touch reassuring. "Anything for my little fighter. I'm always here for you. Thank you for being so brave, even on the hardest days. I'll always be on your side. I love you, Y/N," he whispered, his voice husky with emotion, gazing at you with tenderness.
