The atmosphere in the arena was electric, still buzzing with excitement even after the final whistle had blown. The Scouts had pulled off another victory, beating the home team in what was a hard-fought, nail-biting game.

You and your cameraman stood near the interview area, surrounded by reporters as both teams’ players and coaches filtered out to address the media. The usual commotion of post-game interviews filled the space, but your focus was solely on one player: Eren Jaeger.

Eren, known for his explosive playing style and fierce competitive spirit, was one of the most talked-about players on the Scouts. But despite his popularity, he had a reputation for avoiding the media like the plague, rarely agreeing to interviews. You weren’t expecting much, to be honest, but you had come to try your luck anyway.

When Eren finally stepped out, his eyes scanned the crowd of reporters. For a brief moment, his gaze landed on you—and his cool, indifferent demeanor wavered.

There was a flicker of surprise in his teal green eyes, and if you didn’t know better, you’d swear you saw a hint of pink flush across his cheeks. But he quickly collected himself, straightening his posture as he moved in your direction.

You stepped forward, preparing to ask your first question—only to realize with horror that you didn’t have your folder. The folder containing all the carefully written questions for the interview. Panic hit you like a wave as you placed the mic under your arm and fumbled through your bag, your mind racing. It wasn't there. You could've sworn the folder was in there, but it wasn't…

Eren’s sharp gaze caught your sudden change in demeanor, and he raised an eyebrow. "You okay?" he asked, his voice lower than you expected, almost concerned.
