i opened the door to see an empty hall. i looked at the dining table. there were no plates at all, it was clean. i frowned.

didn't i tell leo to not let them wash it?

"don't get mad, y/n. it's probably leo washing the dishes since the kitchen light is on." hyeon stated.

i looked at the kitchen. yeah it's on. I think I'll check on leo before going to my room. "thank you for just now. I'm sorry if i sounded harsh. i didn't mean to." i apologised.

"it's fine. I don't mind it." hyeon stated.

"i get where you're coming from. it's completely reasonable to react like that" ryan said. "have a great sleep, y/n. goodnight."

"sleep well." hyeon said. i gave them a smile before walking away to check on leo in the kitchen.

"leo....?" i called out. "i'll take over, you can go now. your sleep is more important."

i entered the kitchen to see rm washing the dishes.

"hey... you don't have to do it." i said.

"i'm sorry, i know you didn't want us to wash but i felt like cleaning it up. we made the dish, we'll clean it up. that's just basic respect." rm said with his back facing me.

i sighed. "it's fine."

i sat on a stool and watched rm washed the dishes. i couldn't help but stare at him. i quickly looked away when i realised he noticed me staring at him.

"okay, all done." he said and wiped his wet hands with the dry towel.

"thank you." i said and smiled at him.

"you're welcome." he said and smiled at me softly.

my heart tingled but this time it was more intense.

"ah.." i moaned softly. the tingling sensation was a little bit too intense for me to handle. I don't know why this is happening. it didn't hurt, it's just too intense. i closed my eyes.

rm quickly rushed to me and put his hands on my shoulder. "hey you okay? what's wrong?" rm asked. i could feel his face being a few inches away. i can feel his breath on my skin. it's hot.

i opened my eyes and see his face right in front of me. my heart tingled again, much more intense. i looked at his eyes and stared into it.

i could see his dark brown eyes staring into mine. i couldn't break eye contact.
we're too close to each other but somehow i couldn't bring myself to look away or move away from him.

that weird sensation in my chest, it won't stop. we remained eye contact for a couple more seconds till i unconsciously looked away.

"sorry." i apologised. "i don't know what happened just now. i felt something in my chest. I'm okay now."

"is there something wrong?" rm asked. i couldn't look at him. that was really embarrassing.

"no... nothing's wrong. I'm feeling a little bit weird." i replied. he took a glass from the shelf and filled it with warm water. he then handed it to me. i took it and drank it all. i feel a little bit relieved.

"have you ever felt... a weird sensation in your heart? that tingly feeling?" i asked. "or your heart fluttering?"

he looked at me. he took a moment to answer. "i did.... just now."

wait what? my mind remembered what hyeon said.

something about connection.

"oh." i said, still not looking at him.
