      “You can stay in this room.” Mrs. Grose says as Y/n lightly nod as he follows her from behind, while carrying their suitcases. “Where will my aunt stay?” Y/n questions as he place his suitcase down on the floor. “Hm, she'll stay over in the other vacant room.” Mrs. Grose responds as she led Y/n to the other room. As they enter, the room was very tidied up and very neat, he place down his Aunt's suitcase on the bed. “You should start unpacking your things, before going down the stairs and meet Flora.” Mrs. Grose says making Y/n lightly nod as she walk out of the room along with Y/n; who closes the door, before going to his now room inside the manor.

It was his time to analyze the room, it was all clean and tidied up just like the other room, despite all that. The room he is currently staying at is very much like all empty and much more organized, it was as if no one really touched it for like a very very long time. The room despite all that is very accurately clean. ‘It looks like no one really stays in this room.’ Y/n thought as he lightly stretch his back and arms, before he start unpacking his things.

      Y/n finished unpacking his things, that looks like eternity has reached its limit. He let out a yawn, walk over to a bookshelf and grab a random book. The book was covered in dust, which made Y/n sigh and wipe the dust off of the book. His hands being now covered in dust, he dusted it off by wiping it with a tissue on the table. The book was estimated in 1980s, which he became really curious of what is the content inside the book. It wasn't really his thing to just grab random stuff that wasn't his, he just place it back on the shelf, before leaving the room and walk down the stairs to the kitchen.

He saw Mrs. Grose holding a tray with orange juices. Y/n walks up to her. “Mrs. Grose, do you know where Aunt Kate is?” He asked. She glances at the boy as she let out a hum, before responding to him. “Outside, she must've already met her and gave Kate a tour outside.” Mrs. Grose responded, which Y/n nods as he glanced at her, lightly biting his lip and inwardly gave a small sigh. “Can I... help you with anything, Mrs. Grose?” He asked; he gulped as he swallowed his saliva, hesitating to look at her in the eyes. Mrs. Grose hums as she look at the boy beside her, who is hesitating to look at her in the eyes.

   “You can help by watering the garden.” Mrs. Grose says as Y/n lightly looks at her and nods. Y/n walks out of the kitchen and head down the stairs once again to a room filled with plants and flowers. The freshly cuts on the plant was seen and the large scissors are there on a stool with a watering can beside each other. He grab the watering can and started to water them gently, not wanting to damage the plants. He also saw a dried leaf, not wanting it to spread to the other leaves, he grab the large scissors and cut them; placing the large scissors back down on the stool and continued watering the plants.

After some time, Y/n finished watering the plants inside, he looks at the door slightly open; it was the door they used to enter the manor. He opens the door to let the fresh breeze in, the plants slightly waves as the wind blew in. While Flora give Kate a tour outside as she have fun with his Aunt, “I have a nephew, which I brought along with me here.” Kate says as Flora looks at her with a hum. “How old is he?” Flora asked with curiosity. “He is currently 16 years old, he is turning 17 in a few (years/months).” Kate replies with a smile on her face. “He's a year older than Miles!” Flora says with a smile as she mentions ‘Miles.’

“He is, I hope you and my nephew get along well.” Kate says making Flora giggle as she nod. “I hope so too and maybe my brother will get along with him as well!” Flora replies. It wasn't long after they have returned back to the manor, Kate saw the doors on the garden open. Flora was humming with joy. Flora as she continues humming not looking at where she was going, bumped onto someone. “I—I'm very sorry!” Kate wouldn't forget whose voice and tone was that, definitely couldn't if she did. Flora stumbled down as Kate went to her side. “Are you okay, Flora?” Kate asked as she offered Flora a hand. Y/n looks at the girl. “It's okay, I'm okay!” Flora says as she take Kate's hand and dusted her clothes.

Y/n looks at her with guilt, Flora noticed as she gave him a bright smile. “It's okay! I wasn't looking where I was going to begin with.” Flora says as she touched the boy's hand making him flinch all of a sudden. “I'm Flora, Flora Fairchild!” She introduced herself to the boy. Kate wore a smile as she looks at Y/n and gave him a nod. Y/n who noticed, bit his bottom lip and look at Flora. “I'm... Y/n, Y/n Mandell, It's nice to meet you.” Y/n hesitated introducing himself at first, but did what he has to do as Flora introduced herself first and didn't wanna make her feel upset, Y/n bit his bottom lip. “Oh..! So you're Ms. Kate's nephew!” Flora says with a smile on her face.

‘How come he doesn't remember who I am?...’ Thought Flora as she look at Y/n in the eyes. She met with those (e/c) eyes with a soft smile on his lips. ‘Only one person could look at us like that...’ She thought as she held Y/n's hands, it felt warm for Flora.
