Heeseung came back after a while. "Hey Chloe, the others and I have to leave now. We should be back in the late afternoon. Feel free to make yourself at home," he said. And just like that, he was gone.

Did it just seem that way, or did he appear more distant? Was what happened last night making him uncomfortable? I shook my head, trying to dismiss the thoughts. He was probably just stressed about work.

I picked up my phone to distract myself, but of course, everything was full of Enhypen and Heeseung. Frustrated, I set my phone aside, stood up, and changed into some casual clothes before heading to the kitchen to make a small breakfast. As I prepared my meal, the thought kept nagging at me: had we crossed a boundary? Had last night been too much?

I shook my head again, trying to push the thoughts away as I finished making a simple breakfast of toast and eggs. Sitting down to eat, I couldn't help but replay the events of last night in my mind. I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I barely tasted the food. Once I finished, I quickly washed the dishes, trying to keep myself busy.

"Hmm, what now?" I wondered aloud. I wanted to explore the place but felt hesitant about poking around in the others' rooms. They probably wouldn't appreciate it if I invaded their privacy. Still, the curiosity was strong.

I wandered back into Heeseung's room. "He has a lot of space," I mused, looking around. The room felt empty despite its size. The middle of the room was particularly spacious, perfect for fitting the mattress. But the thought brought me back to the fact that I hadn't slept on the mattress but in Heeseung's bed.

Before I could dwell too much on it, I remembered something Heeseung had mentioned before leaving: "If you get bored, you can play some games on my PC. The password should be on a note somewhere on the desk."

That sounded like a good distraction. I walked over to his desk and powered up the computer. "Wow, he has a lot of keyboards," I chuckled to myself as the computer booted up. I searched for the note with the password and found it after a few seconds, quickly entering it in.

I knew Heeseung liked playing League of Legends, but I preferred Valorant. I checked if it was installed, and to my delight, it was. It needed an update, but it seemed like it would be quick.

As I waited, I received a message on my phone. It was from Jake: "Hey Chloe, how did you sleep? Sorry I didn't come by this morning, but we had to leave quickly. What are you up to? I hope you're not too bored."

I smiled at his thoughtfulness. "Oh, no worries! I'm just playing some games on Heeseung's PC. He said I could. And you don't need to apologize for not stopping by." I laughed a little to myself; he's really considerate. "I slept well, how about you?" I replied.

Jake responded quickly: "I had a hard time falling asleep because of the storm, but once I did, everything was fine."

"Well, that's good to hear," I replied.

Jake sent another message: "Hey Chloe? Our manager isn't going to be around this evening, and since you haven't seen our place yet, would you like to check out my room when we get back?"

"Sure, why not? I'd love to. Looking forward to it," I answered.

"Great. I have to put my phone away now. See you later." 

"See you later, Jake!" I replied, setting my phone aside.

The update for the game finished, and I started the game, immersing myself in the virtual world to pass the time until the members returned. The games kept me occupied, but my thoughts occasionally drifted back to Heeseung and the events of last night.
