Y/N shows up to a small, noisy get-together at a friend’s place where Jon is already there, but instead of enjoying the party like everyone else, he keeps orbiting her the entire time. Every time she gets pulled into conversations or distracted by other people, Jon quietly follows her lead, always ending up nearby without admitting he’s doing it on purpose. He keeps trying to act casual—offering drinks, starting small talk, pretending he’s just “checking on her”—but it’s obvious he’s a little unsettled whenever she drifts out of his immediate view. Eventually, when she spends too long talking to someone else, he pulls her into the hallway under the excuse of needing a quieter space, but really it’s just him trying to keep her close and reset the distance between them.
