Horizon | ATEEZ - Omegaverse

Chapter Twenty Two

While the majority of pack Chrysalis welcomed the arrival of Yunho and Mingi warmly, many of the guests from different packs were wary of their presence here. They all had heard about the start of the war between Bloodbane and Essence. They knew Bloodbane was the pack that tried to start another war and almost followed through with it, too, but something happened that made the war end early.

But not without casualty and destruction...

The plethora of side-eyes Yunho and Mingi are getting from the guests are plentiful.

"Why is he with him anyway?"

"I heard his father killed Essence's pack leader."

"Are they really mates?"

"How could he even be with him after all that?"

"I don't understand how one of Essence's own chose to be with him after what they did."

Yunho and Mingi pretended not to hear all the mumbles and whispers as they shuffled through the crowds. They had already heard everything before, anyway. Soon, everyone had gone back to their activities, and Yunho and Mingi saw there was only a small group of people left.

"Yunho...?"

Yunho's eyes widen at the softness of the voice, having not heard her voice in such a long time it seems. A smile spread across his face when he sees Kyelin rushing to him with open arms, "Kyelin!" He yells happily as they crash into an embrace and twirl around, "What are you doing here?"

Mingi chuckles at his mate and his best friend from Essence, remembering how Yunho introduced the two of them long ago. He watches as the group all start coming over to them and gently rubs Yunho's back comfortingly as he speaks to Kyelin.

"I got an invitation to come learn about Chrysalis. What are you two doing here?!" Kyelin asks in a jokingly accusing voice, pointing her finger to Yunho's chest, showing a bright smile up at Mingi, "You've been keeping my bestie in line, right, Mingi?"

Mingi smirks and pulls Yunho into his side to kiss the top of his fluffy head, "You know it, Lin. He's always getting into trouble when you're not around, you know."

Yunho pouts, "Hey! I'm never a troublemaker..." He mumbles, but he can't stay playing mad for long when he feels the warmth of Mingi's kiss on his head, "We were also invited here."

Kyelin hums and looks the two boys up and down, "Then why are you really late? I know Bloodbane is far, but it's not that far. What were you two up to?!" She asks, a disgusted look coming to her face, "You two weren't... Right...?"

Yunho's face turns the brightest shade of red she's ever seen at this question and Mingi bursts into laughter.
