Yujun’s POV
The coldness of the floor bites into the soft skin of my knees but I don’t feel it, the marble floor is no match for the numbness starting to spread through my entire body.
The news has moved on to sothing else.
They are displaying the new building that the Kangs acquired and how powerful their moves have been since the shy son stepped up, the news anchor looks bright as she speaks about Kang Chan’s results.
Is that it? Jaehyun dies and the world just...moves on?
No one is trying to investigate, no one is asking questions, they are suddenly more interested in buildings than the man that built a whole school to hide and host young, abused ogas.
What is wrong with people?
"Yujun-ah, get up before you hurt yourself" Chan mutters softly, dragging out of my mind the way he always does.
I hadn’t even noticed when he ca to stand in front of , I hadn’t noticed when he started to smooth my hair back...a whole human has been stolen from among many things and he’s still walking and talking like all he has done for is kindness.
"I have to take you to the hospital and look after you pup, hmm?" Chan says, helping up, and I don’t protest.
I let him move around like the doll he seems to think of as, I’m too out of my mind to revolt against his touch...even though he makes my skin crawl.
He sighs softly beside as he helps back to the room I just ca out of and sets on the bed.
"I know you’re hurting...but have a good rest tonight, I promise I’ll take you to see the burial tomorrow" he says, and I lift my head.
"You have to promise you’ll not do anything that will cause trouble" he urges softly and I clamp my lips shut, I don’t want to promise anything like that, and the alpha knows it, so he offers a small smile.
"Then we can go to the hospital and see your baby, hmm?" he says and stands up to get sothing from the wardrobe, a wardrobe that is already filled with the clothes he once gave Yujin, his dead mate.
"Look, I kept your jellyfish plushie...it reminds you of your pup, doesn’t it?" he says and places it on my chest, my hands reach up to grab the little plush and hold it closer to , I wish I had shown Jaehyun once.
"Sleep now, in no ti, it will feel alright" he says and leaves the room.
I don’t try to escape again, because I know...no matter what, I will still end up in his chain, he isn’t going to let go, not when he thinks he is my only salvation.
I fall into a dreamless but fitful sleep.
By the ti the next day cos I wake up late into the day.
In a rush, I get out of the bed and walk to the bottom of the stairs, and I find Chan on a call with a book in front of him, he is putting on his ’normal’ guy front.
"The burial" I say in a husky voice he puts down the phone, "good afternoon Yujun, did you sleep well?" he asks and I respond with a hostile growl that makes the alpha slowly get up from his seat.
"Hey...I’m just looking out for you" he says, releasing his pheromone...and goddess, I hate the way it works on , the way my oga relaxes at his wordless command.
"Burial" I repeat while at war with myself, the tension of my body has worn off but my mind is still mine and still stubbornly active, "at least wash up...and eat" he says and I keep glaring at him.
He holds my lifeless stares for a few seconds, when I don’t blink or show signs of backing down, he lets out a heavy sigh and puts his hands in his pockets.
"Let’s go" he says and I follow him.
Clutching the plushie I woke up with to my chest, I hope that it’s all a lie...maybe the Hwangs are playing a prank, maybe when we get there, I’ll find Jaehyun wearing his ever-bright expression.
"The burial is taking place..." Chan starts to speak in the car and I tune him out, heart calling for my alpha’s death to be a cruel joke.
The car slows to a stop in a secluded area, there are already cars parked all around and paparazzi taking shots of the event, I freeze in the car as I spot a person carrying a portrait of Jaehyun with burial flowers.
Everyone looks sober, hands clasped behind backs, lips downturned, and eyes void of spark.
"He was such a good man" a person leaving the burial ground says as he walks in front of the car, "he’s really the rarest of the other chaebol kids born in this generation" his friend says and tsks.
People are saying it...talking about my alpha like the good man he is, but it hurts a lot, I press my face against the window and start to sob again.
A full-grown man that is crying like this will be laughed at by the whole world...but they’ll never understand.
No one will ever understand.
"Should I take you back?" Chan asks softly and I shake my head before getting out of the car, I want to at least see his grave, but Chan grabs my arm.
"What are you doing?" he asks , keeping his voice low and his eyes darting around like he is avoiding sothing.
"Let go" I hiss to him, and he pulls to his body with a low growl, "Yujun-"
Just in ti, I turn my head to see Yeon-mom and his husband leaving the ground, "M-mom" I whisper, "Mom!" I call out but Chan slaps his hand over mouth.
Both Yeon and Lord Hwang’s eyes et mine and instead of coming for as expected, Lord Hwang turns his husband away from and whispers sothing in his ear as he takes him away.
"No...don’t leave " a single tear slides down my cheek.
They hate now, don’t they?
Their only child is dead because of ...
