-TWENTY TWO-

Author's pov

As the door opened, Sehun didn't move, keeping his attention on the soup he was heating at the moment. He didn't look behind him, but he could tell who it was. The two pair of feet slowly made their way towards the wooden table, before taking their seats.

"I hope everything is resolved between you two" Sehun says in a monotone voice with his eyes forward. Taehyung still felt weak from the damage the Mistress did to her, he didn't bother to speak up, or to answer Sehun's question. But luckily for him, Irene quickly cleared Sehun's conflicting thoughts about the two.

"Yes...............w-we're okay now" Irene says in a soft voice with a small smile on her face. Sehun nods at her words with his back facing them. Irene was surprised to see how different Sehun was acting right now, usually he was regarded by everyone as a cold and scary guy, kinda like Taehyung, but here he was in the kitchen, making them soup while wearing an apron with a small teddy bear sewed onto it.
And Irene knew that if it wasn't for him, they would've had no chances of survival, this had been the second time, Sehun had protected her from danger.

"Taehyung..............say something" Irene says in a small whisper as she goes closer to her mate, Irene felt like the two owed Sehun a 'thank you' for what he had done. But on the otherhand, Taehyung was in no mode for anything of the sorts.

"For what.........he was doing his purpose" Taehyung says in a low rude tone, while rolling his eyes like a snob, his words were caught by Sehun, who didn't do anything or show any reaction to it, but just smirked at his behavior. Irene slowly put her hand over his arm, making him look at her, as Taehyung looked into her beautiful soft dough eyes, he felt like he was melting away.

"Please....for me" She says, and Irene knew what she was doing. And even Taehyung knew what Irene was doing but yet he felt right into her words, he was hypnotized by her. He sighs as he closes his eyes, before turning to the man before him.

"Sehun".

"What"?

"You have my gratitude for protecting Irene when I wasn't with her and.........again, for saving the two of us and for bringing us here" Taehyung says in a loud pressed voice, his heavy voice was laced with some hesitance but, they sure did make Sehun more then happy. It wasn't every day you would hear Taehyung saying thank you to someone else. It was bigger evidence for Sehun, that Taehyung was slowly changing into something better, because of Irene.

"I also want to express my gratitude Sehun, for saving me and Taehyung" Irene also adds, making Sehun's grin grow even wider. But he couldn't show that to them, he had an image to protect. Quickly wiping off his grin and smile, he picks up two mugs filled with hot black coffee and turns around.

"Alright, enough with the softness, it's making my ears hurt.............here, drink" Sehun says with a fake irritated expression on his face that is immediately caught by Irene and Taehyung. Sehun went back to making the soup after handing the two their drinks. Irene mentally smiled as she observed Sehun, even though she still knew nothing about how he was connected to Taehyung, she still couldn't help but feel a little giddy about making a new friend, or more specifically a friend she could share the thoughts she couldn't share with anyone else.

"Thank you Taehyung" Irene says as she turns to Taehyung, she knew about Taehyung's personality, he had a hard time expressing himself, so him just doing a small gesture of thanking Sehun because she asked, meant alot to her. Taehyung's tired eyes slowly stare into her, he was looking at her with such emotion and feelings in his eyes that she felt warm and protected by just his sight on her.
