BEcause I like you~

i've been disguising myself

Woah, this place is huge!

You stare at the jet-black building which shoots into the sky for miles on end. You look at the directions in front of your face intently.

"Are you sure that we're at the right place?" Your partner asks while looking over your shoulder.

"I'm pretty sure. Look, the address on here matches the address on the building." You point out the fancy cursive font which states the address on the side of the building.

"I didn't know that you were going to get a hotel this nice, babe! Thank you so much." Your partner kisses your cheek before running inside.

I guess they like it.

Your hand travels to your back pocket, where the ring is safely stored.

One of these times, I'll be able to say it to you.

You slowly follow in pursuit while staring at the bold letters that adorn the front of the hotel.

Look Over - The U.S. Hotel

You stare at the letters in curiosity.

I wonder what the 'U' and 'S' stand for.

"Hey, hurry up, you slowpoke!" Your partner teases while holding the front door open. "We don't have all day, you know. Dinner reservations are at 6, and it's almost 4."

They're right. ...But there's just something so breathtaking about this hotel, and I wish that I could put my finger on it.

"Coming!" You call out to them while running.

I hope the inside is as nice as the outside.

As you predicted, the inside of the hotel was just as stunning as the outside. The first thing that caught your attention was the huge crystal chandelier that hung in the middle of the room.

Am I sure that I booked the right hotel?

To your left and right were huge white pillars that were evenly spaced from the doors to the front desk. The carpet under your feet was ornately designed, and you were sure that it cost more than the entirety of your trip. A few small decorations and bookshelves lined the walls, along with a spare luggage rack or two.

For a fancy hotel, this place is pretty dead.

As you noted, the hotel front was entirely empty. Not a soul lurked in the lobby with you.

That's kind of weird. I thought that there were quite a few cars in the parking lot.

You slowly make your way to the front desk, where your partner is currently standing.

"Nice place, huh?" You try to make conversation with them, but they're distracted by the scenery around them.

"Look at how many keys are on the wall. There's got to be at least a thousand rooms!" They excitedly point towards the key rack on the back wall behind the front desk.

You scan the rack for a moment, which makes you realize that only one key has been taken from the rack.

It isn't travel season, so that's fair enough. Those cars in the parking lot are really misleading, though. I wonder if that is the staff's vehicles?

You shrug off any concerns that you once had. "Are you excited now?"

Your partner beams at you. "You bet!"

"Hello, and welcome to the Look Over Hotel." A girl pops up from behind the front desk, which makes the both of you jump back in surprise.

Jeez, I didn't know that this trip included a jump scare.
