"No...no ..yes--" Felix groaned out as she closed her mouth on his shaft, and his hand went to her hair.

He fisted it, and she smiled despite her position, thinking he's gonna pull her closer, but instead, he flipped her away, and she fell against the wall.

Felix quickly pulled up his pants and was still holding it with his hands as he released heavy breaths, looking down at her.

She looks totally shocked.

"I'm not a pushover, Chaeryoung. Yes I liked you, but you treated me like shit and disgraced me publicly, you're not human" he said, rushing out of the house.

Chaeryoung caught up with him shortly, blocking his path.

"You can't resist me, and you know it! You love me!" She shouted, and he buttoned his pants before facing her again.

"Is that why you took it for granted? My mother was sick and dying in the hospital but each time I talked about her, you brushed it off like nothing important. Do you know I worked at the club to take care of her? But you came and ruined everything! I'm convinced that you've never seen me as a friend, and you never liked me. I'm only your emotional trashcan" he shrugged.

Chaeryoung gave him a painstakingly slow gaze before smiling.

"Whoa, our Felix is all grown. Are you gonna go to Hyunjin? That idiotic gay beta?" She sneered.

"He's not idiotic, he payed for my mum's surgery and never asked for a refund. I wish I met him before you, I wouldn't have looked at you at all, and yes... I might not be gay but he's worth changing for!" He snapped.

Chaeryoung raised her hand on him angrily, but he caught it before it could reach his face, shocking her again.

"You said it yourself that we're over. Get over yourself, Chaeryoung" he threw her hand off, and she staggered.

He left her there, walking down the road.

Chaeryoung swallowed nothingness for almost four times, trying to douse her anger, but it did nothing to help.

She threw her bag away in fury, breathing hard and heavy as she continued watching Felix's back view.

Meanwhile... Hyunjin is by the other side of the street road, watching the drama since the beginning.

A small smile appeared on his lips as he gave Chaeryoung one last look, then he drove off, crossing Felix in the front.

He winded down his window, and Felix blinked in surprise.

"Get in, silly boy" Hyunjin smiled shortly.

Felix's smile was all-over his small face as he opened the door and hopped in.

Hyunjin resumed the drive, and he couldn't help but notice Felix's restlessness like he wants to say something but he's finding it difficult.

Felix kept fondling with his fingers like a girl, and Hyunjin smiled as his girlish-ness.

It's the first thing that attracted him about Felix.

Usually, he just enters any available gay club and fucks whoever he picks, but that habit stopped immediately he set eyes on Felix that day at the stadium.

He concluded he's his. Even if he'd have to bend him to agree, and that's why he has been persistent about it.

Luckily, it's slowly becoming fruitful.

"Do you have something to tell me?" He said, and Felix looked up at him with a blink.

Hyunjin stopped the car then faced him.

Felix continued blinking...

"Just that...."

"Hmm...mm?" Hyunjin lifted his face.

"Chaeryoung...she... nearly sucked me off earlier" he said, and Hyunjin's eyes narrowed.

"But I stopped it before she could go further! I'd have stopped it from the beginning, but she took me by surprise and I wasn't able to...

"Shhh" Hyunjin placed his finger on his lips, and Felix went silent with an innocent blink.

"You don't have to explain to me, silly boy. We're not a thing...yet" Hyunjin said, and Felix licked his lips when he took his finger away.

Hyunjin stroked his hair fondly, and Felix almost entered the leather seat of the car

"Cute" Hyunjin smiled, flaunting his chin dimple before finally driving off.

GUEVARA HOSPITALS*

"Min! Min!! Min!!!" Lisa kept shouting hopefully as she ran into the hospital with Jungkook who's still carrying Jimin's body in his arms.

He's not moving at all, and it's worse because his heartbeats are so slow and faint.

They'd have gone to the school clinic, but according to Jungkook, he doesn't trust them enough.

Jungkook took him into a VIP ward himself, and doctors crowded the room immediately with several nurses.

They were told to leave, but they might as well be talking to a mountain because Jungkook didn't move at all, and Lisa stayed too.

She was shivering as Jimin got attended to, but Jungkook's eyes didn't leave Jimin.

The fact that this happened inside the school only means one thing.

Lin is back, and he's lurking around with a new face.

Maybe he got plastic surgery done or anything, his name is written all-over the incident.

Or is it his missing daughter?

The whole thing messed with his head so much that he couldn't think straight.

Immediately the doctors were able to revive Jimin back to life, Mr. Park rushed into the ward.

He was actually called by the hospital.

"He's still unconscious, but he'll be fine after receiving IV for some hours. The shock took a big toll on his memory, Mr. Park" the head doctor explained.

"When will he open his eyes?" Jungkook asked before Mr. Park could talk.

"Soon, before today ends" the doctor replied and excused himself before leaving the ward.

"You again? You're the one who gave me car keys in front of the house the other time... The biker boy" Mr. Park said.

"His name is Jeon" Lisa chirped in.

"And what's his relationship with Jimin? Why is he always hovering around him?" Mr. Park replied almost immediately.

He didn't hide his dislike... it's obvious he doesn't like him, and Jungkook is totally fine with that.

"Actually he's... He's Min's boy...

"I'm his shadow, that should be enough for an answer " Jungkook cut Lisa off, cast a worried glance atJimin in bed before leaving the ward

"That little ___"

Mr. Park almost followed him, but Lisa held him back.

"Calm down, sir. Min is still unconscious this isn't the time for this. I think Lin is back" she said.

"That bastard...I should have convinced our mother to abort him in the womb back then. He shouldn't see the world at all. So after ruining my son, he ran off and had the guts to come back? I'm going to kill him myself. I'm going to!" He threatened.

"We should be devising ways to capture him instead. So far no one knows where he is in this country, he's still ahead of us" Lisa replied, and Mr. Park sighed before going to Jimin's bedside.

He sat beside him and stroked his hair gently, sadness falling in his eyes.

"He doesn't deserve this...he doesn't" he muttered, getting his phone.

He dialled Angelina's line, but she's not answering, so he dialled again.

During that moment, Lisa went out to dial Seji's line too, but then he saw Jungkook still waiting in front of the hospital, looking like he's drowning in his own thoughts.

"Jeon" she joined him, but he didn't spare her a glance.

"Why did you cut me off when I wanted to introduce you as Min's boyfriend earlier?" She asked politely.

"Because I'm not" he replied, and she walked to stand in front of him.

"Seriously? Jeon we both know he sees you more than his shadow. You broke several limits with him already and don't you see how often he smiles whenever you're around him? Jeon...

"I need to gather the boys and start hunting for Lin. I can't allow that arsehole to hit again... Meet at the mansion when you're done here" he replied dryly, walking away from her.

He began striding towards the park, and she sighed.

"He's too much"

*

A SECRET MEET UP*

Angelina has a black scarf over her head plus an hat, then black shades as she walked into the building with a small briefcase.

Only the sound of her heels echoed behind her as she took each step, and till she got to the right spot, she never looked sidewards.

She settled on a couch in a closed off area, and after dropping the briefcase on the table, she got her phone and made a call.

"I'm here" she muttered, hanging up almost immediately.

She was about to adjust on her seat when two guys appeared.

One tall and buff, the other lean but muscular too, and they're wearing ski masks.

Lee and Romeo.

They settled in front of her, and she quickly took the briefcase to her laps.

"Angelina Park? Hand over the money" Romeo's voice boomed.

"Where's Lin himself, and who're you guys?" Angelina replied, fighting her fidget.

"He sent us to come for the money. Now will you let go?" Lee stood, and Angelina immediately stood too.

"I'm not letting go of the money without seeing Lin himself. He ruined my son's life and now he's gonna milk my money? Where is Fred!!!!" She yelled, but that was replied with a hit from Romeo to her shoulder.

Angelina fell back to the chair, and the briefcase fell from her.

Before she could reach it, Lee already picked it.

He opened it and saw the cheque, then he nodded and closed it.

"You're the one who should be careful, and you better reply anytime Lin calls, else....the secret you're desperately trying to keep from your husband and son will be out in your face like poof!" He said.

"Let's go" Romeo told him, and they rounded the table, making Tate shift back on the ground before they finally left.

Angelina covered her mouth tightly as tears came out of her eyes, and she couldn't even stand from the ground despite the fact that they're gone.

She was interrupted by the vibration from her phone, so she fished it out of her bag and saw several missed calls from her husband.

She quickly wiped her tears and stood before swiping green.

"Hello honey" she spoke.

"Lin is back I think... Jimin got the trigger and is still unconscious at the hospital" Mr. Park announced, and she almost fainted.

"What! No no no...not my baby again...which hospital?" She asked, breathlessly rushing out of the place.

*

GRAND CASINO*

Master Kang stood to his feet immediately Jungkook entered his office.

He's with San who's helping him with some records, but San stood and left after bowing to Jungkook who's not even looking at him.

"Lin is back" Jungkook announced.

"Do you have a plan?" Master Kang asked.

"I do, but it's useless if he doesn't show his face" Jungkook replied, and Master Kang sat.

"And what are his parents doing about this?" He asked with an unusual calm.

"Are you really asking that? He escaped from them years ago, so they're basically helpless, and the fact that they kept the case from the public and the cops is another thing. They're on their own" Jungkook replied.

"I'll take it from here" Master Kang said.

"Meaning?" Jungkook replied.

"You can stop being his shadow... I only told you to do that because he's absent. Now that he's back, I'll take it. My boys will handle it" Master Kang said.

Jungkook's throat moved as he tried to talk again, but Master Kang beat him to it.

"You can't get too attracted to him, Jungkook. Did you forget? You're like an omega poison, and he's bound to die if you go too close" he said, and Jungkook's brow tensed, his eyes lowering as he had a rerun of the day of the accident.

FLASHBACK, AGE FIVE*

The sound of police sirens woke little Jungkook up from his unconsciousness, and when he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the tarred road.

The cops are just arriving with the firefighters, and when he saw them running towards a direction, he stood and faced that direction only to see his father's car in flames.

It's burning viciously in the middle of the road, and his eyes widened when he saw his father getting dragged away from the car with a bleeding and broken left leg.

"No Jaerim is still in there! Jaerim is in the car I can't lose her too! Get Jaerim! Get my daughter out! Jaerim is in there! Silver!!"

Jungkook made to run towards the car too, but he was held back by the cops

"My noona is in the car let me go! She's inside the burning car!!! She's in!!!"

His struggles are tantamount to an ant's because they overpowered him and held him in place till the fire was completely put out, but shockingly, Jaerim isn't in.

Not her bones, skull, burnt body or anything.

It's like she disappeared.

BACK TO THE PRESENT*

"Jaerim didn't die... she's somewhere alive" Jungkook muttered.

"But she's not here, is she? She's probably suffering wherever she is, and we probably won't see her till we die... Stop watching over the girl. I'll take over from here like I said. Don't jinx him with your curse too" Master Kang said emotionlessly.

"You care about her more than your own fucking son? Do you think I threw a party when I learnt my mother died after birthing me? Or you think I did a thanksgiving when we lost Jaerim? You probably think I drink myself to oblivion each time an omega dies because of me but I am in the fucking dark too! I've been mourning all my fucking life and I did nothing but wear black and smile, roll with my fucking friends when in fact I'm always fucking bleeding inside! Yeah I'm a devil who takes omega sacrifices like you said but I didn't make my fucking self Kangmin!" Jungkook shouted.

"You will not call me by my name!" Master Kang stood.

"Kangmin... Fucking bloody Kangmin!" Jungkook yelled, and Master Kang pulled out the sword from his walking cane.

Jungkook pulled out his sword-belt too, and it went to their necks at the same time, cutting the both of them slightly.

That same moment, several guards from the main casino rushed in, led by San.

They're all armed as they filled the room, ready to shoot if Jungkook makes any wrong move.

"Master Jeon, please don't" San practically begged.

Master Kang knows what he's doing.

The life of all the guards in here means nothing.

He was trained to be a killer since he was young, and killing them all would take less than five minutes, but that'd only give Kangmin what he wants.

He'll probably call him a devil to his face and tell him he's cursed again.

He doesn't give a damn, but he also does in one sense.

He lowered his sword, and San looks relieved as he began walking out of the office.

"You shouldn't have been born, Jungkook" Master Kang's voice came, and he stopped for a second, his eyes darkening before he walked out completely.

*

DYNASTY COLLEGE, PROF HAYDEN'S OFFICE*

After making sure there are zero eyes on her, Chaeryoung slithered into the office.

She met Lin seated, but she still didn't smile before settling in front of him.

"The cash for your new leg is ready" he smiled, opening the briefcase containing the cheque.

Rain only rolled her eyes

"What's going on?" Lin asked worriedly, standing up to come to her.

"It's Felix. I had him at the tip of my fingers throughout our three years here, but now Hyunjin is getting in the way" she said, biting herself.

"The last scene I checked, you liked Jeon" Lin pulled her up

"But Felix is still mine. It doesn't matter if I like him or not but the moment he befriended me, he became my toy! I won't let Hyunjin have him. Darn, there are lots and lots of guys to eliminate" she hissed, and Lin smiled.

"And I'll get them all out of the way for you, you only have to watch me. I have a plan, and what happened this morning is only a preamble" he said

"I heard he passed out!" She laughed, and a chuckle cracked in Fred's throat.

"Of course, and he's only in the beginning. I'm yet to start, and I'm grateful you're my daughter" he said, and Chaeryoung hugged him.

"Should we eat out tonight? Ramyeon?" She said.

"Of course" he grinned.

*

Seji hasn't been able to attend any of her classes since she arrived with Sabrina in the morning.

She has been carrying Sabrina's bag around at her order, and she didn't sit at all.

Since Sabrina is a masters student, her class is at the far heart of the campus, so the walk there is a bit tiresome, but it's like Sabrina is on a mission to wear her out.

Even during her classes, Seji was forced to stay by the door with her bag and wait.

She almost lost her legs, and she was already happy after the last class, only for Sabrina to say she's going for lunch at the cafeteria.

No choice, Seji followed her, and almost everyone they met greeted Sabrina admiringly, fawning over her style and charisma.

And at every greeting, she smiles this arrogant smile.

It's like she feeds off their greetings.

They were about to enter the cafeteria when they came across Namjoon, and he smiled when he beheld Sabrina.

"Hey! You attend this school?" Sabrina beamed, hugging him so tight.

Namjoon openly touched her ass and Seji had to just look away.

"Yeah, always" Namjoon replied as they broke the hug.

"By the way after the fuck we had at Miami, I couldn't sleep for nights. Your pussy image filled my head" he shamelessly said, and Seji's eyes widened.

Sabrina was once Namjoon's fuck mate?

She's like five years older than him and...

"You'll always be a cunt, Namjoon. I swear!" Lisa appeared, cutting off her thoughts.

Lisa" Seji said, but she's not even looking at her.

"What's up princesa?" Namjoon smiled.

"Who's she?" Sabrina looked her up and down.

"My baby sis to-be" Namjoon replied.

"Jerk! You saw how she's busy treating Seji like a slave, making her carry her bag around, but instead of addressing that, you choose to rebound with this bî+ch!" Lisa snapped.

"Excuse me? Bitch?" Sabrina came closer.

"Of course, bitch!" Lisa shot again, and Lisa didn't get a warning before Sabrina slapped her.

Namjoon could have stopped the slap, but he choose not to.

"RIP" Lisa muttered murderously, grabbing Sabrina's neck.

Sabrina's eyes rolled up as she slammed her back on the wall, bringing her down and hitting her face with her heel.

"Lisa!!!" Seji screamed as Sabrina began bleeding.

Lisa took Seji's hand and pulled her away.

Namjoon gritted his teeth, looking at bleeding Sabrina on the ground.

"Shit"

*

GENERAL LIBRARY*

Bangchan was looking tired as he finished his reading session for the day.

Also, the alcohol Namjoon and Hyunjin forced him to drink last night is still fucking with his head, so it's hard to concentrate.

Being good comes with lots of catches, and having good grades is one of it.

He hasn't been doing so well since he became a student of this school, but at least he could butter it up this semester.

He yawned as he took his bag, and he was about to head out when he saw Hoseok sitting alone not far from him, and he's reading from his kindle.

He smiled before walking up to him, sitting beside him.

"Huh? You!" He faced him.

"Yeah...you read books?" He said, taking his kindle to see the title of the book he's reading.

ACOTAR... A Court Of Thorns And Roses.

"What's wrong with the books!" He snatched back the kindle with a glare.

"Nothing, I'm just surprised. Are you gonna be a writer?" He asked.

"Why would I tell you? We're not close" he rolled eyes, and Bangchan snapped.

"Wait... aren't you supposed to be with Jimin at the hospital?"

His eyes widened.

"What! Hospital?" He stood.

"What happened to Jimin?"

*

GUEVARA HOSPITALS*

Jimin's eyes opened with a dim at first, and when he felt a spin in her eyes, he shut them back then opened again, but then he's not seeing the one he wants to see.

Jungkook... where's Jungkook?

Why is he not here beside him?

He could see his mum, his dad, Seji and Lisa, then Hoseok.

But where's he?

"Mochi?" Hoseok's voice came.

"Min" his parents called at a time.

"Min!" Lisa and Seji chorused too, and he moved his dry lips.

"Tuzi... where's Tuzi?" He asked, his eyes so hot.

He needs to sit on his laps and sleep like he always does anytime she wakes from his nightmares, else, he won't be fine.

"Tuzi?" Angelina said in confusion.

"Jeon" Lisa said.

"The guy who looks like a devil earlier?" Mr. Park said.

"Just... just find him. I need him right now and I might just pass out if he doesn't show up and...

The opening of the door made her stop, and everyone turned to see him coming... Jungkook.

Jimin blinked, and Seji pulled Angelina.

"Let's go out" she told him.

The woman complied, but Lisa had issues taking Mr. Park.

"I can't leave my son with this devil" he shot, looking at Jungkook with disapproval.

"Sir! He'll be fine" Lisa cautioned, and he huffed before following her.

Hoseok was the last to leave, and when it's just the two of them, Jimin had time to take him in.

He's wearing a slightly ripped jean pants and a black shirt, no jacket, and his hair looks as majestic as it always is.

He's not even making any attempt to come closer, but his eyes are on him, so Jimin sat up in bed.

Though his eyes are turning, he still got down and started walking up to him.

It felt like years before he could arrive, and a little before he'd get to him, he staggered weakly and fell on his chest, getting a full whiff of his clean scent.

Jungkook didn't even try to catch him but he didn't move away either.

His chest is as solid as a giant's, and Jimin almost gave into the temptation to continue staying on the warm surface, but he looked up anyways, his eyes burning and watery.

He looks like a rock, and his tallness isn't helping things.

Jimin has always looked like a baby in front of him. Always.

"You didn't catch me...you weren't beside me when I woke up too. Tuzi" he sniffled, holding his hands.

They're much bigger than his
own.

He said nothing, just looking down at him like his doll.

"Did I do something wrong? I haven't argued with you for the past few days so I don't think I have any fault" he continued.

Another silence and ice-cold eyes.

Jimin finally released his tears, unable to bear the silence anymore.

He hugged him tight, shaking on him as his face reddened with chilliness.

"Tuzi, I lo...

"Don't" his velvety voice finally came, and Jimin slowly broke the hug, looking up at him again.

"Tuzi...

"If you're gonna tell me you love me, then Don't. Fucking. Do. It" he frostily said.

"W.. why?" Jimin stuttered, another ball of tear rolling down his pale face.

"Because I'll never say it back, Jimin" he muttered.

Jimin froze.
