Yujun’s POV
"Mother...w-what is wrong?" I ask in fear of how his entire body seems to freeze.
"N-nothing" he stutters, but I don’t believe him...Yeon-ssi doesn’t stutter.
"I’m sorry, I need to go back" I say and he shakes his head, his eyes swimming with tears.
"Baby, you can’t go out without a scent patch right now" he says and I place my hand on my neck over the scent patch I have on.
"I have one on..." I say tiredly as I rember how Yunah had said the exact sa thing to earlier.
"I know you’re wearing one, it’s weak now...I’ll get one...I’ll find one" he says and gestures for to stay in the room before he leaves.
I flush the toilet and wash my face.
With unsteady legs, I return to the room to sit on the floor with my legs folded. I wrap my arms around them and my chin on my knees with my eyes fixed on the floor.
I’m scared.
I wish I could see Jaehyun.
My oga whines at the thought and my heart seems to be tightening even more.
I miss him a bit too much with every second that passes, I wish I could turn back the ti and choose again...
’Don’t lie to yourself’ my oga says and single tear slides out of my eye and to the floor.
There is still chaos outside, noises of guns and the screams of n in pain.
A sob breaks out of as guilt swallows up.
Maybe if I had resisted Jaehyun a little harder...none of this would be happening.
Maybe...
My stomach feels too tight, I feel sick, I feel hungry and nauseous at the sa ti.
Everything is wrong with .
The door opens and Yeon returns with a scent patch and a frown on his face.
"Turn your head for baby" he says and I do as he kneels in front of .
Baby. He keeps calling that like I’m a pup...his pup.
I press my lips together to stop myself from crying again.
He pulls off the previous scent patch and mutters, "goddess" under his breath.
"Is there sothing wrong with ?" I ask in fear, and he shakes his head, "you are okay baby" he says and applies the new patch to my scent gland.
He leans back and eyes my body carefully.
"Don’t get hurt, do you hear ?" he says fiercely and I nod my head rapidly.
"Mother...is Jaehyun-" I start but shut my mouth, too ashad to ask about the man I have co to love, the man I have been nothing but danger to.
"You can’t see him right now" Yeon says, his voice strong and deeper than usual.
"He’s in rut...he will go feral if he sees you now...especially..." he says and his eyes drop to my stomach.
"Especially?" I ask in worry.
I must be sick, and it is affecting my scent...that’s why they keep insisting I wear a patch...
"I’m sick, aren’t I?" I ask, my voice breaking.
Maybe it’s better, if I die now...everything would be better.
"You are okay, I promise" Yeon says and hugs again, "we will co for you...okay?" he says and I nod.
I’m not sure what I’m nodding to, but I do it anyway.
"WHERE IS THAT USELESS YUJUN?" soone shouts from outside the door.
"THIS WHOLE RAID WAS THOUGHTLESS" another shouts, I identify their voices as mbers of my clan.
"We have to attack the Hwangs and babysit a Choi, I am not being paid enough for this job" the first one says, and I look at Yeon.
"Say the words and I will keep you here" Yeon says and I shake my head.
I have to return to my family.
If not for anything...Yunah is still there and so is Sehwa.
"I have to..." I say and Yeon nods, detaching himself from .
"Mother..." I call as I approach the door.
"I love Jaehyun" I say.
"I know, child, I know" he says with a sad face as I walk out.
I run to join my clan who are already running out of the place with their weapons.
The whole place is littered with dead n, blood and fallen ammunitions.
The sll of blood makes want to gag as I stumble behind my clan mbers.
As soon as I get into father’s car, the door is shut and the driver zooms away, the motion and the sll clinging to makes hunch over.
Father doesn’t say a word as the car goes on.
I try to keep my breathing quiet till we arrive at our mansion and get out, the tension between us is obvious but he says nothing still.
He gestures for to follow him and I do, walking closely behind him as he gets into the eting room.
The door doesn’t properly shut before a blow lands on my face.
"Urgh!" I scream as the blow forces to the hard floor, I cup my nose to try and ease the throbbing pain while looking up at father.
"I should have known you were a scum" he says and nods his chin at his n who pull up for him.
"F-father" I stutter and he delivers another blow to my stomach.
I grunt loudly as I double over.
Hurts.
"How dare you play us? A fort?" he asks and punches again, I cry out from the pain of the blow.
"How is that Hwang girl a better Choi than you?" he asks and grabs my hair, pulling my head back.
"You truly betrayed us" he says and laughs angrily.
He pulls out his gun and presses the cold rim against my head, and I shut my eyes.
"Father-" I breathe out in fear.
"I’m sorry" I say with a small voice, I know nothing will change his mind.
This is the day Choi Yujun leaves the earth.
I did have a good life, didn’t I?
I got to raise my pup, Yunah.
I got to love and be loved.
My only regret is not taking Sehwa along...
"Sir...rember" one of the guards holding up says and whispers the last parts which makes father growls before pulling back the gun and hitting it on my head.
"Your useless body should be on the street by now if the pay wasn’t too good" father says and I open my eyes.
"Take the bastard away. Kang Sihyuk will be here for his good very soon" father says and gestures.
His goods?
Kang Sihyuk has goods with us?
"Tell Kang to transfer the rest of the money. My bastard son is ready to be carried away"
What?
