For me, if I hold that person in my heart, that's love (Part 1)

"Well then, rest well tonight. Barneas, please escort the guests to their room."

Barneas led the two to a twin room.

Mateo hesitated for a moment, and said: "Um, could I have another room?"

Barneas was taken aback and glanced at Landon.

Landon didn't express much, but his frozen expression gave a hint of discomfort, and he turned around and walked into the room, then closed the door.

"Are you two having a fight?"

Mateo hadn't expected Barneas to ask him. He halted his silent walk.

"Um... you could say that."

"Are you two lovers?" As Barneas turned to face Mateo, his expression remained unchanged, calm, and composed as usual, yet Mateo sensed a slight unease.

"...I'm not sure." Many possible answers circulated in Mateo's mind, but he blurted out his initial response instinctively.
