“ check the cameras and investigate the area” that's what the alpha boss said looking yoongi and Mark. He snapped his fingers and youngjae stepped out.

“ prepare the room for postmortem” he commanded.

“boss, I smell jinyoung on her. She has a faint scent but I can smell jinyoung more on her. As a suspect I would like to interrogate” Jimin said out loud making jinyoung gasp as his place.

“i-i didn't do anything…. No.. Not jinnie!” jinyoung panicked and he grabbed onto jaebeom’s coat hem. His body trembled at the thought of being alone with the capo.

“jinyoung could never do that!” baekhyun said out loud making jaebum look at him with a glare in his eyes. Jaebum didn't want unnecessary things. He grabbed jinyoung fragile wrist and pulled him front.

“what makes you believe that jinyoung is the suspect?” his voice came out heavy and loud. It was evident that the alpha was pissed off by the capo but he let it go. He knew that Jimin was the person in charge of all of this.

“this scent all over chaeyoung is of jinyoung. Yoongi found jinyoung near her dead body. Why? He was already there and you ask me why, boss?” Jimin said, he was very straight with the fact that jinyoung killed chaeyoung with no evidence in his hand.

“n-no…. I… I didn't. Jaejae believe me” jinyoung cried, his eyes begging. Jaebum rubbed jinyoung back and pushed him forward.

“you can take him for interrogation while I and yoongi check for CCTV cameras” jaebum replied. It was of no use. Jaebum knew that jinyoung didn't killed chaeyoung but if his capo was so interested then let's kill it. He clearly wanted to kiss his teary baby but he let it go. Clenching his jaws, walked past yoongi.

“let's go to the security room” he called and yoongi followed while Jimin dragged jinyoung away.

“jinnie is not the culprit, yeollie” baekhyun said tugging his mate's suit coat. Chanyeol nodded and turned to Baekhyun who was deeply hurt with the scene going in front of him.

“baby, I know. Come on, you need to rest” chanyeol sighed. He grabbed baekhyun's hand and pulled him towards the bedroom. There was no use of standing there and stare at the dead body. Baekhyun was already feeling unwell and it was best if he was taken away from these things.

Meanwhile, jinyoung felt suffocated in a room which looked so horrifying. He tried not to look at things around him. The room was dark and stingy that frightened him even more. Jinyoung dig his nails in his thighs, trying to knock out the growing anxiety.

“tell me, why did you so that, jinyoung?” Jimin questions.

Jinyoung could only shook his head. What was he supposed to say when he did nothing.

“answer me!” Jimin yelled, slamming his hand on the desk making a loud noise. Jinyoung jumped in his seat and swallowed a thick gulp.

“i-i didn't do anything… b-believe me” jinyoung whimpered. He was already tired of this.

“jinyoung, I am very lenient towards you because of boss but here I am the person in charge so there's no way out. Either you surrender or prove your innocence” Jimin smirked.

Jinyoung was scared.

“t-they are checking c-cctv camera” jinyoung reason but Jimin frowned.

“but they haven't called, jinyoung. Now, speak before I make you” Jimin threatened and started to roll up his sleeves. Jinyoung furiously shook his head. He didn't want to face any of those things.

“your scent was all around chaeyoung, why?” Jimin asked.

“i-i was playing with her” jinyoung replied and jimin huffed.

“I am not here to joke around Jinyoung” Jimin dryly said.

“believe me! I didn't do anything! I didn't kill her! She was so nice!” jinyoung burst out. He was all red and crying uncontrollably. He wanted his alpha beside him and nothing more.

“ Where's the proof? I saw you getting worked up when the boss talked to her. You had bad intentions from the very beginning jinyoung” Jimin pointed out and jinyoung shook his head. He was not like that to kill anyone. Heck he couldn't even kill a fly.

“lie! It's all a lie!” jinyoung screamed but stopped when he saw Jimin walking towards him.

“yoongi, check the cameras again!” jaebum pressed on the words making yoongi frustrated. The capo groaned and changed the time of recording but again the result was the same. It was black screen.

“boss, this was all planned and it's not Jinyoung. The cameras were destroyed, look!” yoongi switched back to the recording and jaebum squinted his eyes. There was jinyoung playing with chaeyoung but he started to run behind the butterflies and suddenly the footage crashed.

Jaebum was about to speak when he felt a burning pain in his chest and he groaned lowly. He pressed down the pain but couldn't get the feeling off from something going wrong.

“yoongi, what about the guards?” jaebum asked, rubbing his chest. Yoongi frowned and realised there was no guards. Jaebum paid extra to guards whenever he left jinyoung alone.

“boss, the guards were absent. Even in the video they were not there” yoongi managed to reply in worry. He was about to say something but stopped when he heard jaebum groan.

“b-boss!” he called. Yoongi knew about alpha's injury and before he could speculate anything, his eyes went to the neck of the alpha that had a small red mark. It was a self created mark which appears after marking.

His eyes went wide like a football and shook his alpha to reality.

“boss! Jinyoung is in danger!” yoongi yelled and jaebum's stopped in his tracks.

Jaebum didn't realise the pain he was feeling in his heart was from jinyoung who was in some kind of danger. Both the alpha and beta dashed towards the interrogation room. The sound proof room was one of the reasons why he wasn't able to hear anything.

Without prior notice, jaebum lifted his right leg and kicked the door, making it unhinged from side. The door fell down on the floor making a loud noise. He growled loudly when his eyes fell on the scene in front of him.

Jaebum gave out a threatening growl at the beta who had his omega pinned against the wall. His eyes went black at jimin's fingers that wrapped around Jinyoung's neck, bruising his beautiful skin. Jinyoung was a crying mess and his eyes tightly shut and his body trembling in fear.

Jimin gasped at the sound and his eyes widen in shock, making him leave jinyoung instantly.

Before Jimin could even blink he was punched in the face. His body crashed to the floor. Everything felt repeating. Jimin groaned in pain and cupped his jaw. His eyes glaring at the floor.

“without any evidence, we don't touch our suspect! Know the rules or you'll lose your life, Park” jaebum spat out the words venomously. His arms possessively wrapped around Jinyoung's body and lifting him up, he turned on his heels and left the room.

“ I didn't do anything, jaejae”

The alpha stood in front of the mirror, shaving his stubble while jinyoung in towel sat on the island of the bathroom sink, swinging his legs. He stared at his hands, not knowing what to do or think.

“ I know, you did not, doll” jaebum replied, his eyes glancing at his omega. Jaebum placed his trimmer back in the towel and applied after shave. Jinyoung's mind was still revolving around the incident.

Even though the alpha gave him a bath to relax him, comfort him, jinyoung was not. Jinyoung felt guilty even though he did nothing.

“baby doll, what happened today was none of your concern. Will you hear me out?” Jaebum said and sigh. He carefully lifted his omega in his arms and walked inside the bedroom.

He took out Jinyoung's white sweater and light blue socks for bedtime. Quickly changing his clothes, he helped jinyoung wearing them and pulled him to bed.

“now, listen to me. I don't want any unnecessary crying or I'll make it a reason for you to cry” jaebum's stern voice made jinyoung nod furiously. He snuggled in alpha's chest and hugged him tight.

“you can say me whatever you want” Jinyoung's muffled voice came out. Jaebum rolled his eyes and hugged his jinyoung back.

“she was here to protect you baby doll. She had to die one day” jaebum said. Hearing this jinyoung gasped.

“no… no.. H-how that can happen?” jinyoung was baffled.

Jaebum sighed and cupped Jinyoung's cheek.

“you have to understand, you are now a part of the mafia world. You don't know who wants you dead and to protect you I have to keep someone in my absence” jaebum replied. Jinyoung was not able to take his eyes from jaebum. It was a hard pill to swallow.

“and this mark on your neck, will now make it much more difficult for me to keep myself away from you. This mark will make few envy of you. Many people want to be in your place. They'll do anything to be in your place and to keep them away if I have to hire millions of guards, I'll do that. I want to keep you safe. What happened today while interrogating was nothing but misunderstanding” jaebum said, his eyes softening as the words left his mouth.

“I made him angry by yelling a— it's fine. You are safe, now. You should not be guilty. In this mafia world you have to let people go. They'll never be permanent, no one is permanent” jaebum interjected and tried to make jinyoung understand.

“not even me, jaejae?” jinyoung frowned.

Jaebum smiled and chuckled.

“no, you'll always be permanent to me. You are the only one I have. You don't know how much it scares me at night whenever you leave bed to go to the bathroom. It's just crazy, doll” jaebum chuckled sadly. Jaebum was scared to have a happy life.

“and when you got hurt, it hurt me too. I get upset when you get hurt, why do you do this? Are you not scared? Don't you think we should have a small family?” jinyoung asked curiously and the last question brought a tint of pink on his face.

“I wish I could. I will do everything for you but a family is something which is difficult for me, for you, for us” jaebum wondered. What it felt like to have a family.

Jinyoung frowned and pouted.

“why? Can't we?” he whined softly and furrowed his brows.

Jaebum shook his head.

“I don't want. I don't want kids, jinyoung” jaebum replied dryly but he stood on his opinion.

“what if I want?” jinyoung pouted, tapping on jaebum's chest.

“you are definitely not ready and let me tell you this again before you forget. I am not a family man, so don't expect something unnecessary like this from me. It's just you and business” jaebum said but it came out harsh that made jinyoung sniffled.

He didn't reply to anything and sighing, jinyoung hugged the alpha.

Jinyoung was a just a simple omega who dreamed of having a perfect home but he saw how this was shattered in seconds. Jaebum didn't want all of theses. Jaebum wanted to live free and jinyoung kept quiet.

Jinyoung just closed his eyes tried to forget whatever happened today or tonight.

Meanwhile, jaebum had his own reasons to not have a family. He was called snake, a curse and a curse doesn't have the right to start a family.
