'My collapsed heart is screaming,
Your lips that left me shouldn't love...'

"Lisa, don't you think you should focus a little bit on our Kingdom's matters?"

Lisa's father said as he entered the dark room of their study. He had been looking for her ever since the news of Jimin had been locked came to him few hours ago. And to be honest he was fed up of this.

Lisa was not looking after the actual problem that was yet to be solved. All she had been engaged in was that Omega she called her mate. If this keeps on going, that day wasn't far where Busan will have to pay a big price.

Lisa grunted under her breath. Silently picking up the half filled glass of her alcohol to lips, she just kept silent making the old King let out a sigh. He came inside and the Omega who was sitting on her lap just shifted a bit while serving her a bit more drink, all the while giving her seducing look.

"Give us privacy.", The old King directed firmly towards the Omega making Lisa perk up annoyed.

"Father..."

"This is important Lisa."

After the Omega left room, the old King settled himself at a nearby seat. Lisa's eyes fixated on him.

"I had sent a message regarding the Nakdong river barrage issue to Nosan's king and tried to negotiate with him with my best. But he has refused it.", He sighed.

"What? They are our enemies!! Why did you even try negotiating with them knowing they would not listen?", Lisa said while gulping down her last bit of drink. Her father looked at her while anger filling his eyes.

"Then what am I supposed to do when the so called Queen of Busan has been busy in some mere Omega issue."

"THAT'S NOT A MERE OMEGA ISSUE!!!", Lisa growled throwing the glass away which was shattered in pieces making her father shut up for a bit.

"Someone has been fooling around with my Omega. MY OMEGA!! Under my bloody nose!!! How dare they?"

"They just execute him. What's so difficult? It's not like you have been sleeping with that Omega or you have shortage of other Omegas that are ready to warm your bed. The only thing special about him was that you married him. Nothing else.", He rubbed his forehead. Lisa remained silent. The night was calm otherwise but Lisa's mind was filled with storm of rage.

"You don't understand father what that Omega has done. Even if I haven't bed him yet, he is MINE. I had kept him as my most prized possession. I always treated him like that. But he had to go and fool around with some another alpha... He had stepped on my ego. He has humiliated me in such a way no one even would even dare to think of going against me like this.... I won't quit. I won't quit until I catch that damned alpha and kill him with my own hands. And while I will cut him to pieces, I will force him to watch. To watch what happens to anyone who dares go against me. Let alone humiliate me.... Just wait Jimin... You are going to pay big price for this..."

The old King watched Lisa pour her venom out with each breath. It had been a while since has seen Lisa like this. Drowning in pure hatred and rage. Rage that could destroy anyone. Yes, he knew very well what Lisa was going through right now. So he just tried to change the subject.

"Listen my daughter... I know what you are feeling right now. But you also can't just ignore the current issue that has risen at the boundary of Busan. Nosan ha rejected the offer to negotiate with us and they are continuing to build the barrage. In few days we will be completely cut off from our only water source. And that will do no good. And that Jeon Jungkook, he has been stubborn too. What will we do?", He sighed.

"What do you mean what will we do!! If they're not ready to back off, then just announce the war..."

"All the while when Jeon Jungkook is still inside the boundaries of Busan. That too along with his pack!? Lisa!! Try and think with clear head. Jeon Jungkook wants you to announce war against him, so that he will kill you without building any conspiracy!! Once you announce a war, there won't be anything that will stop him from killing you. Because he wants Busan!!", The Old alpha was frustrated. Lisa became quiet. He was right.

"Then? What plan do you have father?", She asked calmly.

"I have got a bit of information about Jeon Jungkook. He had killed the King of Daegu previously and crowned his own father as the current King of Daegu. And to say we have had good relations with Daegu. So we should try to convince his father to make Jungkook leave Busan and stop his this contract with Nosan. That's the only way I can think of..."

"So that rogue is Min Yoongi's son?", Lisa said with a bite in her voice.

"Yes. But no one knows this. Everyone thinks that he just appointed someone randomly. He just kept under the veil that he is his son and continued living rogue life so that people won't bother his parents.", The Alpha provided.

"Alright then... Send the Messenger to Daegu urgently."

"Jimin? Won't you speak to me?"

"What's wrong with me?", Sungwoon was stopped with Jimin's counter question.

Sungwoon had sneaked in the prison cell with help of one of the guards he was friends with. He was devastated when he heard that Jimin was taken to dungeons for performing infidelity. He had made sure that no will see him and requested his friend to take him to Jimin.

Ever since he had arrived Jimin was so quiet. He wasn't talking at all. Just staring at the dark wall ahead. The cell dungeon wasn't a pretty place to start with.

Never ending darkness with not even an ounce of light from the outside world, various kinds of stench filling the place telling different stories about the dark place. Someone's struggle, someone's praying, someone's abuse...

"What?", Sungwoon asked.

"What's wrong with me?", Jimin repeated once again, still not looking at the beta.

"What do yo—"

"I don't know what is happening with me. Why did I act like this? Why did I submitted to the Alpha whom I barely knew? Why do I always forget about the surroundings whenever he touches me? Even if it's just for a second. Why... Why does his touch feels right... Right than it will ever feel with Lisa?"

Sungwoon was completely dumbfounded. He stared at the Omega who's face was fixated like it was carved in stone but still his voice told a thousands of emotions.

"Jimin... Is that the same alpha.. you?"

"Yes."

Sungwoon fell silent. He didn't know what to say now. He wanted to tell Jimin but he wasn't sure if he should or not. Jin had told him the truth. He just didn't know if it was right to tell Jimin now, when he was married.

"Why... Tell me hyung. What is wrong with me? Why is this happening? I shouldn't behave like this for some stranger Alpha. That too when I'm a married person."

"J... Jimin. I know what you're feeling...", Sungwoon held Jimin's shoulder trying to make eye contact with Omega who was sitting numb.

"No you don't!!", Jimin said desperately, finally looking at the beta, eyes filled with tears which were threatening to roll down.

"Yes I do..."

"What do you understand? Do you understand how it feels when someone comes in front of you and your heart suddenly starts going haywire? Even though you're just strangers. Do you understand how does it feel when someone just looks at you and all you want to do is just throw yourself at them? Do you understand how does it feel to fight your inner self? Do you how does it feel to fight with yourself? All because of just one person... That too a stranger. A no one!!! And still it feels right. It feels right like nothing has more right than this.... WHY??"

"BECAUSE HE IS YOUR MATE!!"

"Alone again?"

Jungkook turned to face Jin who was standing there with a mild smile on his lips like always. He wondered if that smile evr faltered. Even after these many years, it was the same. He was the same.

"Not really. It's usual for me. Who has ever been with me?"

"Maybe you never looked for anyone to stay with you.", Jin smiled. He sat down on one of the large rocks besides the other. Jungkook looked at him.

"Your habit of messing up the conversation never gone away...", He said lowly. More like he complained. But Jin just kept his smile without any faze.

"I always try to solve the situations for others. But people don't stop messing their minds. Then how would a conversation will feel straight?"

"See. You're doing it again.", Jungkook complained.

"Okay then. Let's make it simple.", Jin let out a chuckle. "What are you thinking right now?"

"Nothing really."

"Really?", Jin raised a brow.

"Um yeah."

"That's why you look restless like some child who has been scolded.", Jin laughed.

"I'm not a child.", Jungkook huffed.

"Tell me what has been bothering you?", Jin pressed.

"Aren't you a know it all? Why are you nagging me? Don't take me lightly just because I'm having this conversation. I would have killed anyone until now if they had tried to nag me.", Jungkook grunted.

"You are restless, because you know you did the wrong thing.", Jin said calmly and Jungkook whipped his head towards him.

"I did nothing wrong. Whatever I did, that Omega deserved it. He deserves to suffer. And he will, by his so called mate.", Jungkook had a obvious bite in his words. Especially when he said 'mate'.

"Did he really?"

"Yes. He doesn't deserve anything. Not her love, nor my mercy. I will break him. I will break him until he loses even a last bit of his faith in God...", Jungkook said breathlessly.

"You hate him so much..."

"Yes."

"Yet you trusted him enough to tell your real name. Didn't you... Jae-hwan?"
