Taesan’s POV
Sooin’s cries stopped two hours ago, but the effect it had on then is still here even though she’s smiling now.
The child is stuffing her face with the al Seoha made, and the oga is tending to my daughter like it’s second nature, like this is where he has always been.
I hated seeing Sooin want him like this on that first night, but now...my alpha is willing to start a fucking war for both of them, and I fucking hate it.
We don’t want any ogas.
I run my fingers down my face tiredly, this oga is already tilting my world, I have unfinished business at my table, yet a thief is running around in my head- stealing my composure again.
"Dad, look, this one is blue" Sooin calls my attention to them as she holds up a coloring book, "yes, that’s blue" I say and put my hand down.
"That’s daddy’s favorite color" my pup says as she points to Seoha, and the oga looks down imdiately to avoid my eyes with his cheeks turning pink.
Fuck.
The posture reminds of the ti in my office, the way his pink tongue slipped out of his mouth to lap at my wound, the way he left spit on the ridges of my abs...
My alpha is demanding dominance again, I need to get the fuck out of here, need to figure him out...before the line keeping us sane blurs completely.
"My cane" I say to Seoha and he scrambles to pick it up, he had left it by the stove after carrying it around for two hours and tending to my daughter at the sa ti.
The oga cos to and holds it out for , he doesn’t speak, doesn’t drop it, he just holds it for to take it back.
"Look at " I murmur and he obeys imdiately, his eyes are glassy as he looks at and I keep staring at him, he’s still not completely out of oga space...he’s waiting for to completely bring him out.
’Perfect oga’ my alpha says quietly, and I snatch the cane from his hand, Jaemin was a perfect oga too, "Dad?" Sooin’s little voice breaks out of my headspace, and I turn to look at her.
"Yes, princess?" I ask.
"Will you co back to us?" she asks while coloring her book and I go to her, the girl remains focused as I press a kiss to her head, "always, I will join you two soon" I say.
"Yay!" Sooin says as she climbs out of her seat and places her hands on my shoulders, "daddy and I will build a nest" my pup says and I see the panic in the oga’s eyes, "n-no-" he starts but I silence him.
"Whatever you want princess, do just that and I’ll join" I tell my daughter and she hugs , resting her head on my chest, "I love you dad" she coos and I chuckle, a genuine laughter in the middle of losing my fucking mind.
It’s a simple childish declaration but my heart swells inside my chest...it ans a lot to , she doesn’t know yet that I will tear down the world to keep hearing those words from her.
"I love you more, princess" I say and give Seoha a dismissive nod, and the oga gives a deep bow.
Head low and hand in front of him...like the perfect oga, like what I fucking need to get out of my skin.
I give my daughter a peck on the head before leaving them for my ho office; ready to work, to judge, and to rule.
The office is cold and empty as always as I step in and shut the door, I slump in my seat and drop the cane to the floor, my alpha is the most silent he has ever been in my life.
After an act of rebellion against my grandfather, I would need hours of dominating and forcing things and people into submission to gain control again, I let out a harsh breath as I run my fingers through my hair.
It’s impossible to co back to my senses just by that short mont of having that oga on his knees...fuck, I grip my hair and tug in frustration, he’s taking too much.
My phone lights up with my right-handed man’s na and I accept the call, knowing I have control over the red and green buttons.
"Junho" I say into the phone and he hums in response, "how are the Ki ogas and the children?" I ask the most important question of the day and he coughs before responding.
"They are safe, they have been taken to the hotel, fed and entertained" he says and I flip open the brown journal resting on my table, "and the settlent?" I ask as I pick the pen.
"We cleaned the place up, all their bodies are being burned up right now at the junkyard with their motorcycles" he says and I smile, I wish I could be there to watch the smoke of their rotten bodies float up to the sky.
Maybe the moon goddess would choke on the smoke of the bastards, she watched my innocent mother die young and let those ones live. If she won’t bring judgnt, I’ll do it myself.
I pick up my pen and stab it into the journal in front of .
"How’s Seoha?" Junho asks quietly and I don’t respond, instead I lean back in my chair...ah the darkness I was expecting to be waiting after the kill is here now.
"Who?" I ask and it’s Junho’s turn to stay silent, I lean further back in the seat, and the weight of my body pushes the seat backwards, making the leather creak under and I stab the journal again.
How is Seoha? How is my thief?
"You know who I’m asking about" he finally says and I lift myself slightly, the look on his face from earlier when I slamd him against the wall flashes in front of my eyes, but the guilt is missing.
"We had a similar conversation" I remind him and my beta growls on the other end of the line, "you put him in oga space, you lost control today...you think I don’t know what you’re capable of?" he asks angrily.
I lift the pen in my hand up, holding it high enough to make a good impact when I bring it down.
"What I’m capable of is being your captain, Junho-yah, be reminded" I say with my voice dropping dangerously low and he says a quiet, "I’m sorry" and I bring down the pen again, this ti, hard enough that the tip breaks off.
"Your assignnt on Seoha" I say.
"Captain" Junho says like he’s pleading with , "Junho" I snarl getting out of my chair to pick up my gun from the white bookshelf, it’s my favorite gun, a SIG sauer P365.
"You have two minutes to speak" I say, leaving the phone between my shoulder and my ear as I stroke the barrel, feeling the coolness of the slick weapon with the tip of my finger.
Once I’m satisfied with it, I load it quietly, waiting for Junho to speak but he doesn’t.
I hate silence when I demand answers...especially when I’m in this state.
"In two hours, visit my ho, there will be the body of a thief waiting for you, a twenty-three-year-old male oga" I say as I leave the library.
"Taesan- fuck, hear out first!" Junho pleads but doesn’t give what I want, he’s unaware of the steps I’m taking towards the vanilla scented oga.
I’ll apologize to Sooin in the morning, fuck, I’ll even find her own mother and bring the man here to console her.
I follow Seoha’s scent till I stop in front of his room.
The scent coming from his room is sad, but I don’t fucking care, the skinny man is bent over the miserable old guitar I kept for him with his upper half exposed.
I hear a sniffle as he runs his slim fingers through his wet hair, he looks like he just showered and is oblivious of my presence, like he’s crying.
"Listen, don’t do sothing you’ll regret" Junho says and I hold the gun behind Seoha’s head.
"He is the son of the Shin clan, okay?! He’s a mafia clan leader’s son" Junho yells and I smile as I click off the safety of my gun, the noise makes Seoha turn around and stare at with shock.
"I knew it" I say coldly and place my finger over the trigger.
