Jaebin's emotions surged within him, causing him to lose control of himself. He rose from his seat and approached Maya, gripping her hand firmly and urging her to stand up. His actions took Maya by surprise, leaving her momentarily stunned.
As the realization of what was happening dawned on her, she stopped in her tracks. Jaebin glanced back, noticing that Maya had ceased moving, which prompted him to halt as well.
Closing the distance between them, he slowly leaned toward her, leaving only a few inches of space between their faces. His gaze bore deeply into her eyes, and he spoke softly, his voice resonating with intensity.
"Maya, I implore you to come with me, just this once. Please..."
"You're human, Jaebin! I should be avoiding you, not clinging to you," Maya responded sternly, her words landing like a heavy blow to his face.
Jaebin's heart ached as Maya's words echoed in his ears. He pleaded with her, desperately trying to convey his feelings.
