The walk out of the town was silent, well, for the most part. Jae's tired eyes busied themselves looking around the town at all the people walking, shopping, eating and having fun. It must be nice to have that kind of freedom. The six of them could only be outside for a moment before having to duck into hiding again. That was really no way to live, but it was the only way to survive. Caught up in his thoughts of possibly freedom in the future, he was startled when he felt someone grab him. The Korean immediately stopped, almost expecting it to be someone from the facility that had somehow found them. Much to his relief, it was just England. Jae had almost forgotten they were walking together. There was a confused look on his face, which the blonde was going to comment on, but he didn't even have to. "I didn't mean to upset you in the hotel room.." This was a bit unexpected. Jae never thought they'd talk about it unless he brought it up himself. "I uh don't like the way it is between us and I want us to go back to normal.." Normal? Was that ever even a thing between them. For the first time in a while, Jae was at a loss for words. "I'm not upset" he said simply. It wasn't entirely a lie. What happened at the hotel was in the past, but he saw no point in carrying on like before if the recipient refused to face the facts. "There's only so much rejection someone can take, ya know?" he said almost playfully before waving it off. "We're fine, don't worry about it" he added before continuing their walk back. There was really nothing else he could say. If England wanted to be stubborn and be left alone then that is what Jae was going to do.
āIām not a huge fan of ice cream but you know what I love? Brownies.ā The redhead stared at the young boy for a moment before cracking a smile. Brownies did sound like a treat right now, despite how full she was. After all, they had to make up for all the years they were deprived of good food. "I love brownies" she whispered back, nudging him slightly. "You know, i'm actually really good at making them" at least she was, back when she still lived at home. Her family would always have her bake things for them. Alex was never a fan of cooking, because it took so much effort, work and cleaning up afterwards. BUt she loved sweets and desserts, so the mess after baking was always worth it. "Maybe Taemin has some brownie mix we can use". The redhead was tired, no, exhausted. Physical activity was not at the top of her list right now, but if baking brownies with Sam lifted up both their spirits then she didn't mind too much.
Taemin's mind was still processing everything he had learned in just a few short hours. So many things to think and worry about, like what will happen to this group now? Where will they go? Where will Jae go? Hiis family is still in Seoul. Surely he'll want to see them as soon as possibly. Maybe Tae could get some time off work and school to go with him. At least for a day or two. "Thank you. For everything. I know everyone is thanking you, but its been so long since we have seen someone that was so willing to help." His attention went back to the girl next to him and he smiled warmly. Everyone was thanking him constantly, but all he did was give them a place to stay, nothing fancy, just the necessities. "It's really nothing, I love having visitors" he said, which was true. Living on your won could get rather lonely. In between sentences, he could hear a conversation near by. Alex and Sam were talking about making brownies. Taemin was almost certain they would be too full for dessert, but if they wanted brownies then he would happily oblige. "I have some mix in the kitchen" he said, butting into their conversation just long enough to let them know. "i can show you where everything is".
