Fated Connections ZB1 Zhang Hao x Fem reader

Chapter 6: A New Understanding

After that night, everything changed. For both Y/N and Zhang Hao, it was no longer just a one-sided connection. They could speak to each other, feel each other's emotions, and even catch brief glimpses of the other's life. Though they were still strangers, the bond between them felt stronger than ever.

The next morning, Y/N woke up with a sense of anticipation. She couldn't stop thinking about what had happened the night before. She had spoken to the voice, and it had responded. Whoever this person was, they were real, and she could actually communicate with them.

As she got ready for work, she couldn't help but wonder about the person behind the voice. What did they look like? What kind of life did they lead? She knew bits and pieces now—he was busy, often tired, and had a comforting presence. She felt drawn to him, even though they had never met.

At the same time, Zhang Hao was at the practice studio, but his mind was elsewhere. He kept replaying the moment in his head when she had spoken back. The voice he had heard wasn't just some figment of his imagination. It belonged to a real person—someone he felt deeply connected to, even though they were strangers.

"Hey, Hao, are you okay?" Gyuvin asked, waving his hand in front of Zhang Hao's face.

"Huh? Yeah, I'm fine," Hao replied, shaking off his daze.

"You seem distracted lately. Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, just... thinking about something," Zhang Hao said, smiling slightly.

Gyuvin gave him a curious look but didn't press further. Zhang Hao wasn't ready to explain everything yet—not even to his closest friends. He didn't fully understand it himself.

Later that day, Y/N found herself in the middle of a hectic shift. The emergency room was crowded, and there was no time to rest. She was moving quickly between patients when, suddenly, she felt a wave of calm wash over her. It was like a warm blanket wrapping around her, soothing her stressed mind.

"You're doing amazing. Just breathe."

It was his voice.

Y/N paused for a second, her heart racing. She closed her eyes for a moment and took a deep breath, feeling the tension in her body melt away. His voice had become her anchor, something she could rely on even when things got chaotic.

"Thank you," she thought, hoping he could hear her.

Miles away, Zhang Hao was in the middle of a vocal lesson when he heard her. He smiled to himself, feeling the familiar warmth of their connection. It was strange, but in some way, he felt like he was helping her, even from a distance.

As the day went on, they continued to share these small, silent moments. Whether it was Zhang Hao feeling her exhaustion during a break, or Y/N sensing his excitement during a performance, their lives were slowly intertwining. Neither of them understood why or how this was happening, but they both knew one thing for sure: they were no longer alone.

That evening, Y/N sat on her bed, scrolling through her phone, still thinking about the mysterious person she was connected to. She wondered if he was thinking about her too. Did he feel the same way about this strange bond?

"Who are you?" she thought, hoping he could hear her.

At that very moment, Zhang Hao was lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling. Her question echoed in his mind, and his heart skipped a beat.

"I don't know... but I want to find out."

Y/N smiled softly. It was a strange, unexplainable connection, but it was starting to feel more real with every passing day. She didn't know who he was or when—or if—they would ever meet, but one thing was certain: their connection was growing stronger.
