The tension in the room is palpable as you hold JJ's jaw gently, your fingers trembling but your gaze steady. "Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love me," you demand, voice breaking slightly under the weight of your words.

JJ's brows knit together in confusion. "What?"

"Tell me," you insist, your voice firmer now. "If you can truthfully tell me that you don't love me, I will walk out the door and never come back. You will never see me again."

JJ swallows hard, his throat bobbing under your touch. His blue eyes search yours, flickering with emotions he's desperately trying to suppress. Finally, he exhales shakily, and the words leave his lips like a dagger to his own heart. "I don't love you, Y/N."

You nod, your lips pressing into a tight line as you let your hand fall away from his face. "Okay," you whisper, your voice barely audible, but you force yourself to smile, even if it's hollow. Without another word, you turn and walk out, slamming the door behind you.

JJ stares at the door, his chest heaving, the weight of what just happened crashing over him. He runs his hands through his hair, pacing the room, until finally, he snaps. "Wait, Y/N!" he shouts, yanking the door open and stepping into the hallway.

"I'm still here," you say, your voice soft but unwavering.

He freezes and turns around, his eyes wide as he sees you leaning against the wall just outside the doorframe, arms crossed.

"I could always tell you were lying," you say, a bittersweet smile playing on your lips. "You might be able to fool yourself, JJ, but you've never been able to fool me."

JJ takes a shaky step toward you, his walls crumbling as he closes the distance between you. "Y/N..." His voice cracks, and before he can finish, you reach for him, pulling him into a fierce embrace. His arms wrap around you just as tightly, as if letting go would break him.

"I'm not leaving you JJ."
