# *Jacks* #

You worked at one of the most prestigious companies, holding a high-ranking position that earned you everyone's respect. But there was one person you simply couldn't stand... Jax.

Your sworn enemy.

You and he were in the same position, constantly competing for first place. Not a day went by without a fight, a joke, or an exchange of insults in front of the staff. You bullied each other and played pranks to annoy the other, until your rivalry became a daily occurrence that everyone was used to.

But behind the strength that everyone sees, you were hiding a secret that no one knew.

You suffered from shortness of breath and a severe fear of confined and crowded places, so you always avoided elevators.

That evening, after your shift ended, you stood in front of the elevator waiting for the person inside to come out before continuing on your way to the stairs as usual.

The door opened, and a number of employees came out, but before you could get away, a group of workers rushed in from behind and unintentionally pushed you back inside.

In an instant, the elevator was completely full, and its doors closed.

Your breathing quickened, and you felt suffocation creeping in slowly, but you held on with difficulty.

Then you raised your head...

So that your eyes may fall upon Jax.

He was standing on the opposite side, giving you a cold, contemptuous look, while you met his gaze with another sharp one that was no less challenging.

But inside you... you had begun a bitter struggle with yourself, trying with all your might to hide your illness, so that neither he nor anyone else would see it.
