    You and Jean have known each other since you were ten. Through scraped knees, late-night talks, and growing up side by side, he quietly fell in love with you, the girl always just out of reach.

    Then senior year changes everything.
    You grow distant. The drinking starts. The bruises follow. And no matter how hard Jean tries, you keep pushing him away... until one day, you leave town without a real goodbye, breaking both your friendship and his heart.

    Years later, you return home after your mother's death, claiming you've changed: sober, stronger, ready to start over. But healing isn't simple. Old wounds reopen, and when you begin to spiral again, Jean finds himself stepping back into the role he never truly left - the one person who refuses to give up on you, even when you give up on yourself.

    Some people walk into your life and leave.
    Others stay... even when everything falls apart.
