Co on, could I get a little heads up before s bomb like that drops on ? I've never killed anyone in my life. I don't even get into fights so why would I kill?
This was so infuriating. I had to account for a murder I did not commit.
But how did I even forget that sothing like that happened in the novel? I haven't really had ti to go through all the major and important details so things keep skipping my mind.
However, this murder was only revealed later by another Oga who was trying to cozy up to the Alphas and get them, who were already starting to like Jo-Pil, to hate him.
Hmm, so how did it go again?
I squinted my eyes, my hands clenched into fists and pressed on my thighs.
It was a cri to kill an Alpha but an even bigger cri to kill an Oga because compared to Alphas, Ogas were rarer and especially ones who could breed heirs.
But even so, Alphas were the ruling class, and most of them belonged to big and distinguished families, which was why they were always held in high esteem, while Ogas were treated as tools, toys, and commodities that could be bought and then turned into breeding machines or sex slaves.
It wasn't fair. This world was cruel.
Would Ki-hoon believe if I told him the truth? Maybe he wasn't pulling my hair out right now because he still had a bit of conscience and wanted to hear it from directly before coming to a conclusion.
Or it might've just been my pathetic state that stopped him from harming . He had such a violent temper.
"Will you answer ?" Ki-hoon asked. "Or should I just assu that what I heard was true?"
I stayed silent, my gaze down. Would he really believe ?
This must've been one of those worries Jo-Pil felt when faced with the opportunity to confess. Most tis, he felt, even if he said his side of the story, they would rather believe the one who tattled because they were of more reliable source than the criminal who committed the act.
They only believed what was easy to believe, what they wanted to, and shoved out the real truth because it was too hard.
Well, it was now or never, I guess. Whether he believed or not, I'd like to believe his feelings for Jo-Pil, now that I hadn't pissed him off at all, were stronger than that of an outsider.
"It happened two years ago so I'm sure your mory of the event is in that." Ki-hoon said, still waiting for the confession.
"Yes," I nodded slightly. "I rember it very clearly. How could I not rember when it was such a horrible event?" My hands began to tremble.
I swear, it wasn't my doing this ti. It was like a muscle mory while recalling the event. This body still dreaded that day, and even if I was the one in possession of it, it still reacted the sa way the real Jo-Pil would've reacted.
Ki-hoon had his skeptical gaze on . It was as if he was trying to see through but that was not going to happen. I would tell him exactly what happened, but I'd also add my own little sob story to back it up and gain even more brownie points.
I was going to pin my hopes that this matter would soften Ki-hoon's heart a bit and get him on my side. Even if it was temporary.
"While running away from my debtors," I began, "I stumbled on a man who said he could help ."
By right, unless one had permission or valid reason to make an Oga a slave, they could not put them into the business. Just as much as it was permissible to sell them off, it was also a grave cri to suddenly pick up an Oga from the road or sowhere and try to sell them off without their consent.
Crazy, right? This world's jurisdiction was ssed up.
So, unless there was proof that the Oga was in huge debt and the debtors wanted their money by all ans, they could've never been able to sell Jo-Pil to the auction house.
Damn, I would've burnt those papers if I were Jo-Pil. That way, they would have no right to sell off.
But then, they might just get enraged and do even worse things to so I think it was for the best that Jo-Pil was sold.
"I didn't want to go with him at first, but the pursuers were on my tail, and I needed sowhere to hide. He helped . And because he was a Beta I didn't put up my guard too much."
"So, you went with him because you thought you could take on a Beta?" Ki-hoon asked with an even scarier gaze but I shook my head.
"No, it's because I couldn't trust Alphas," I said and he flinched. "I was weary because I was close to my heat cycle then. I couldn't get my suppressants but I was sure if I could hide sowhere, I would get a way to get suppressants."
I glanced up at Ki-hoon. He looked particularly interested in what I was saying so I felt I had him hooked.
"Since Beta's don't sll Pheromones or react to it, I thought I would be safe even if I went into a sudden heat while he was offering help. But then..." I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists even harder. "...he took to a room and said he would get suppressants for . But..."
God, my body wouldn't stop reacting. I threw my face away, cold sweat breaking out of every pore in my body.
"What happened next, Jo-Pil?" He asked but my body wouldn't stop trembling.
I'm getting there so don't rush .
With a closer look, he saw my complexion had turned pale and asked,
"Are you okay?"
Do I look okay to you? Don't be a jerk and make things harder for . It was getting hard to breathe all of a sudden. Was I okay?
Let's hurry up and finish the story.
"The person who returned wasn't the Beta but an Alpha who wanted to take advantage of my heat cycle and then pin the bla on for 'enticing' him with my Pheromones." I said and gagged.
I covered my mouth, a nauseous feeling enveloping . I wanted to throw up.
Sohow, the face and the movent of that man played in my head as though I had been the one to experience it and my body just wouldn't stop trembling.
'Ah, at this rate... At this rate...' My eyes rolled back and I lost consciousness just like that, falling to the ground to Ki-hoon's horror.
I could faintly hear Ki-hoon's panicked voice as he shook my body, trying to wake up but I couldn't even muster any strength.
He sounded genuinely worried. He should call a doctor, that punk. Can't he see that I fainted and need a Doctor?
By the way, is this supposed to happen? I know I inhibited this body in other to live in this dream world but why are the reactions still so real? And why the hell does my body react as though the fears were mine?
Forget it. Let's just sleep. I'll figure things out when I wake up.
