Yujun’s POV
There have been a number of awkward and uncomfortable rides, but this one is painful.
The car ride stays silent, but my scent seems to be screaming.
My pheromones is going out of control, going from bitter to sweet and back again.
I don’t know what to feel.
Am I happy? I saw Jaehyun again, I am happy I got to see him.
Am I sad? My little sister is still in that place alone.
Am I upset? All the while I thought Jaehyun abandoned , I was the one who walked out on him.
Am I hopeful? He said he would call .
My sll swells again in the car and I lean back into the seat with a tired sigh.
Chan doesn’t speak, neither do I.
I am too exhausted to think of anything properly.
My mind keeps spinning around like a roller-coaster, I am hungry already, I place my hand on my stomach lightly.
I know it has to be my imagination, but I feel a flutter in my stomach; he knows now.
I feel tears well in my eyes.
Jaehyun knows of our pup. I don’t know what to expect of him yet, but I’m worried about him, he doesn’t look too well.
And my father...my father’s threat still hangs over my head, a part of today that I would rather not think about.
’Our pup will be fine’ my oga says fiercely inside , so loud that it almost sounds like a roar.
I rub up and down my stomach and turn my head slightly to find Chan staring at with empty eyes.
His eyes on lack the warmth that he has always looked at with.
"Is anything wrong?" I ask him.
His face is still swollen with bruises and scars from Jaehyun’s attack on him but the bleeding has stopped.
"I wish you wouldn’t do this to yourself" he says and I blink at him.
"Do what?" I ask him and the warmth returns to his eyes.
"Let him walk back into your life and affect you like this" Chan says and I stiffen.
What is he talking about?
"What?" I ask with a frown, trying to make sense of him.
"He sold you, he no longer should decide for you" he continues and my body relaxes.
I thought he had been referring to Jaehyun, for so reason, my entire being is gearing up to fight for him.
’Love’ my oga says, and I ignore him like I always do.
"He’s my father" I say and I see the way Chan’s jaw tick, his entire expression shows that he is upset.
"I am the one you’re with now" he says and I blink.
"Your father is the one I’m with" I correct him and it’s his turn to blink before he opens and closes his mouth.
"You’re right" he finally says reluctantly, and I nod my head tersely.
We keep staring at each other silently, I let my eyes drop to trace his face, his eyes, his nose, his lips.
He doesn’t seem to be in pain from the attack on him anymore, and at the sa ti, it’s obvious that he had played it up.
Jaehyun was rough but I also know Chan should be strong enough to defend himself, strong enough even to hurt Jaehyun...he is a Born alpha after all.
It makes question a lot of things, makes rethink our entire position.
"Why did you pretend about the attack?" I ask and he slowly tilts his head, "pretend?" he asks like it’s a foreign word to him.
"You seem very fine to right now" I say, jutting my jaw towards him and he wears a frown but his eyes flash subtly, like lightning.
I notice because I have seen them before, the gold of his true nature briefly flashing before returning to Hazel.
"A beast likes to feel its victim fears him...don’t you know?" he says.
The words sound plain and simple, just a question, but the implications are far from being plain and simple.
Jaehyun is a beast and he’s a victim.
"He’s not a beast" I say through my teeth and he nods, "I knew you’d defend him" he says.
"I will defend anyone who deserves it" I say to him.
He holds my eyes, and for a few seconds the car is as silent as before and my scent is as unstable as a stormy sea, changing and turning.
I don’t understand the way this man makes feel.
Do I trust him? Do I fear him? Do I doubt him?
He breaks our eye contact, and his eyes drop to my hands that are rested on my stomach.
"You deserve to be respected" he says softly and turns his face away from .
The way he says it makes my chest hurt.
No one knows how much Jaehyun respects . He’s the first person, apart from my sister, to make feel human.
The nights and days he has risked his life for , reckless but purposeful.
The way he begged for to stay, on his knees, sobbing, unashad but powerful.
Jaehyun is the best thing that has ever happened to as much as I would hate to admit it.
"I hear you thinking" Chan murmurs.
"Because you know nothing about Jaehyun" that’s all I say to him and the car cos to a stop.
"You can go ahead, I have to attend to sothing before I leave for work" Chan says but still gets down with .
I turn to leave but he grabs my elbow to make pause.
"You know...it was nice to have your attention even if it was for a few seconds" he says softly, his face still turned from .
"What are you talking about?" I ask and pull my arm away.
"I like you Yujun" he says and before I can respond he adds, "I will make you like back".
He leans in and presses a kiss to my cheek before walking out.
I stand frozen and my oga recoils, growling and hissing at the unexpected action.
What?
