Arranged Marriage with Oh Sehun (On-Hold)

Chapter 23

A week has passed and I am completely healed now, all of my bruises are gone and the wounds are pretty much unnoticeable. I still haven't made my way to the cafè because Sehun does not allow me to do so. But he is going to work every day, that's so unfair. Lately, I felt the both of us gradually getting closer with each other and I couldn't help but blush at his every gesture. We've been at peace this past few days and I couldn't ask for more than this quietness we have right now.

It felt like we're a husband and wife by the way things are getting. Sehun already memorized my likes and dislikes, while I still try my best to get to know my husband. There are times when I was surprised that he already knows something when I don't recall telling him that.

"What are you thinking about, little mushroom?" A pair of hands made their way to my waist as I was stirring the soup I was making.

"Nothing," I replied as I felt him nuzzle his head at my shoulder blades.

"Hmmm. Is there something that's making you worry? Hmm?" He asked, his voice muffled because of the position his head was in.

I shook my head. "Tell me, little mushroom." Sehun pleaded once again.

"I told you, it's nothing. Now, go away, I am cooking." I muttered and tried to shook his body away from mine. It's game on.

He must have been shocked by my action of shaking him off because I didn't hear or feel any movement for a good one minute. I wanted to laugh but I tried to contain myself.

I proceeded to the kitchen cupboard to get the salt and pepper that was placed there, I went there not looking at Sehun. I tried to reach the salt and pepper but my height does not allow me to finish my action. A hand made its way in the cupboard and got the salt and pepper for me. I already know who that is.

I will not look behind me, this is not some Kdrama scene where the man reaches for something for the girl and they both look into each other's eyes, and then the OST plays. Instead, I grabbed the salt and pepper from his hand and made my way back to the kitchen stove.

"Thanks," I muttered, not looking at him, and kept my focus on the soup I am making.

I saw Sehun in my peripheral vision, he looked deep in thought with his eyebrows scrunched together. I wanted to laugh at the scene, his eyebrows have a short distance between each other but when he scrunches them they are almost close to touching.

"Stella," Sehun muttered lowly.

"Yes?" I asked, not looking back at him.

"Did I do something wrong?" He asked me. I'm enjoying this act so much.

"Why would you ask that? Did you?" Wow, Stella, you're trying to turn the tables.

"I didn't do anything wrong. I don't recall anything." Sehun replied.

"Good for you," I said, turning off the gas stove and getting the potholders.

"Let me carry that for you," Sehun said, trying to take the pot from me but I ignored him again, leaving his hands hanging in the air. I went to the dining area and laughed quietly, covering my mouth with my hand to suppress the noise. I am enjoying this, this is so fun. I shouldn't be playing Sehun like this, but this is so much fun. I am still trying to suppress my laughter when I heard a voice boom behind me.

"Yah! You were playing with me!" Sehun's voice echoed in the dining room. I couldn't help but laugh when I heard his voice.

I was laughing so much that it sent me crouching down on the floor while holding my tummy. This is so fun.
