Seoha’s POV
Junho pushes into the car and starts the engine before I can protest or say anything.
I feel so lost and confused, even after hearing the conversation between Taesan and the woman, I am still as lost as ever.
His grandfather wants the kids killed to cut down population? It’s Sooin or the kids? Why is Taesan staying there if he already saved all the children?
"Wait" I say and pull on the handle of the locked door and Junho ignores , he keeps driving with one hand on the gear and his other ring covered hand on the steering wheel.
"Wait...what about..." my sentence dies in my throat as one motorcycle zooms by us a and another follows, and then another, they are all going in the sa direction we’re just leaving.
I watch the speeding motorcycles with my mouth open, catching a glimpse of ard, hefty n on ten roaring bikes.
"Junho..." I call the man’s na, "you didn’t see that" he growls and I turn my head to him, "what?" I whisper.
"You didn’t see them, you know nothing about them" he repeats.
"What do you an I didn’t see them?! Those n are going to hurt Taesan-ssi!" I yell at him, my voice coming out thick and rough with emotions.
My oga is frantically pacing inside of , worried for the alpha’s safety, but the instinctual worry of my oga doesn’t match the worry choking up.
"I- I don’t understand" I stutter.
"Then don’t try to" Junho says softly, his words are so soft that I almost didn’t catch them over the noise of the running car, "Seoha-ssi, don’t try to understand anything for your own good, this- this world is far too ssed up for soone like you" he says.
"Yet here I am, in the car of a- a mafia man, getting away to goddess knows where! And I’m stuck here!" I yell at him I’m losing my mind, and it’s not for ...it’s for him.
For Kang Taesan, the man I owe.
"Please, just- just turn the car around, please, let’s get him out of there" I press my palms together and plead, but my pleading falls on deaf ears.
Junho stays as still as a statue as he focuses on driving down the rough road with the vans behind us.
"Junho-ssi..." I call his na and he doesn’t respond, I see the way his jaw ticks and the way his grip on the wheels tighten.
"His daughter...his daughter-"
"His daughter will see him today, she will see him at ho and everything will be fine" he states chanically and I slump in the leather chair, giving up and giving into exhaustion, I have nothing to say.
There is nothing I can say.
"Will you at least explain to ?" I finally say and he sighs, "I can’t, there are things that are not my story to tell...and there are things I wish you wouldn’t ask to know" the beta says, looking at briefly before turning his head away.
It can’t be helped, if this is the life I am stuck in, the least I can do is to know just what I’m in.
He stops in front of the Mountain Atelier building and gets out first, and just before I move to open the door, he opens it for and helps out, holding my hand as I get down with shaky legs.
I’m terrified to the bones.
Junho gently assists by holding up while the other vehicles that were behind us co to a stop.
As soon as the doors are opened, the clueless children let out delightful squeals as they co out one by one.
While the children are happy, the older ogas are disturbed, speaking in hushed voices to each other as they guide the kids out, and I find Yuki talking with them.
"What’s going to happen now?" I ask Junho and he gives an instant response, "they’re going to have an exciting tour around uncle Sannie’s building and eat whatever they want from Yuki’s father’s store" he says with a straight face.
Is there anything in this world that is even real?
These children’s ho is being attacked for no reason while they are taken out to eat. It’s just like how my ho was stolen from and my relatives were smiling with on a video call just a week before I found out.
Life is unfair.
I slap my hand over my mouth to keep my sobs in.
"Co on" Junho says, putting his hand over my shoulder and taking into the building, once we get into the elevator, it feels like my body can’t take any of it anymore and I break into sobs.
I had seen the flash of raw pain in Taesan’s eyes, the raging anger in his voice, the-
"Seoha, breathe" Junho says as he holds up, this is the elevator I ran into to avoid Daeshin, the sa elevator I lost my virginity against the tal wall and under a surveillance cara.
My life is a ss.
"Stay with " Junho’s voice breaks through the cloud pressing in on as I cry, the pain is overwhelming and it hurts too much, I just want everything to stop, I want Taesan here, I want Sooin to have her dad, I want to go ho.
"Hey, Taesan will be okay" he says and he holds my face, "it’s not the first ti he’ll do this" Junho tells and the crease in his brows soothes for a bit.
"I swear he’ll be fine, if there’s one thing Captain will do correctly, it’s winning for Sooin" he says and I blink the tears away.
"O-okay" I whisper, trying to calm my oga and the man leads out of the elevator to Taesan’s office.
"He asked you to wait here, so just hold on, yeah? He’ll be back" he says, looking at with pity as if he knows sothing I don’t.
He helps into Taesan’s seat and at the scent of the alpha, my oga relaxes completely, clinging on to the faint scent of rain and mountain air like it’s everything.
’He’ll be back’ my oga says and after thirty minutes of soaking in his scent, the door is pushed open in a hurry and the bloodied alphas I have been waiting for stumbles in.
"Get out" he growls.
