Black Card Debt: Daddy's Little Thief (Omegaverse bl)

Chapter 197: I go mad without you

Seoha’s POV

The small bathroom we are in is like a cocoon of pain and struggle.

We are three men.

Two of us love a man called Kang Taesan in our own different ways, and the last man is just someone who happens to be here.

"What do I do now?" my voice bounces off the cold walls as I speak.

"You act like you know nothing" Junho says.

The man gets up slowly and holds his hand out for his gun that is still in my older halfbrother’s hand.

"I can’t...I can’t do that" I say.

Pretending is not something I know how to do, restraining myself is an ability I lack...and hiding from Taesan is just plain impossible.

"You need to do it, Seoha. Taesan is already on edge, and he is liable to lose control when he gets like this" Junho says and I nod slowly.

This morning was a glimpse of what he looks like when control is slipping out of his hands. My alpha didn’t touch me, but I felt the oppression of him even from the distance.

"You help Taesan, that’s one thing I can’t deny" Junho breathes out through his nose before tilting his head back, "he has more control when he has you".

"So being calm is what you can do to make this work" Junho says and makes a ’give me’ motion with his hand.

"If you threaten my brother again, Junho, I’ll make you pay. Remember who I am" Hanbin says before he hands the gun back to Junho.

Junho doesn’t respond, he just tucks it back in its hiding place after putting on the safety.

There is so much between them that I don’t know, but right now, Taesan matters more.

"W-what about the Gods?" I ask in a small voice, and Hanbin shudders at the mention of ’the Gods’.

Are they that bad? Do I need to make more personal research?

"I’ll stop Taesan’s secret agent from getting in touch with them, that’s what I can do" Junho says and I sigh.

"Thank you" I whisper to the beta and his brows furrow as he looks at me.

"For what?"

"For standing by Taesan" I say and he scoffs.

"I loved Taesan before you did. I was there through it all, I carried his limp body for days after he lost his parents, I fed him to keep him alive. He’s my brother, my friend and my captain" Junho says.

I know he’s not trying to make me feel bad, but I can’t help the way my heart clenches.

He’s right. He knows things that I don’t know...just like Jaemin.

’But you have the collar. Taesan loves you, wants you and chooses you’ my omega says.

"Is this place locked? Hello?" someone calls from outside and Hanbin moves first.

"It’s time for me to work. Junho, I’m telling you again. Don’t hurt my brother" Hanbin says in a low but threatening voice.

The three of us leave the bathroom at once, apologizing to the man waiting outside when he shoots us a sharp glare.

"High-class prostitute" the stranger mutters under his breath as he passes by me, and Junho stiffens.

"What did you just say?" he asks and I grab his arm.

I know why the man called me by that title.

"Let’s go hyung" I say.

Of course I’m back to the real world, of course there are people who knows about the leaked pictures.

Daeshin might be dead but the mark he made on me is still there.

"Come on" I tug harder and Junho stares at the man’s back from outside the door for a few seconds before finally moving.

"I’ll handle it" Hanbin says quietly and I wince.

I am surrounded by murderers, mafia lords and...Ghost.

"Really, Hanbin hyung, it’s nothing important, I’m the fool for letting Daeshin use me" I say quietly and Hanbin nods grimly.

Something in his eyes tells me that my words mean nothing to him.

He walks us to Junho’s car with my order of the morning. I have my own breakfast, something for Taesan and a pack of doughnuts for Minjae.

I laugh at myself as I walk out of the café with two pink paper bags and Junho by my side.

Who would have thought that I was a single minute away from death about thirty minutes?

"Don’t let him know, do you understand?" Junho says.

"Yes" I whisper, slipping my hand under the collar of my shirt to feel the collar resting right there.

Anything for Taesan.

"And I’m sorry for hurting you like that...forgive me" he says with a sigh, even bowing his head to show his remorse.

"I’ll never do that again, I try not to inflict hurts on others" he says and I nod.

"I forgive you" I respond and he lifts his head, keeping his gaze ahead as he drives us to Mountain Atelier.

The ride is short and in no time, we arrive at the building where my alpha is.

I adjust my clothes and mentally prepare myself for whatever would happen next.

Another belittling comment? Another glare from someone that knows nothing about me? Another what?

’Another moment to have the scent of our alpha on us’ my omega says, and that’s the push I didn’t know I needed.

I get out of the car without waiting for Junho, straightening my back as I walk through the glass doors of the building.

Some people look up at me, and as expected, there are unprompted glares and silent sneers.

My legs carry me to the elevators without making me fall despite feeling like jelly under me.

The elevator; this same elevator where my dignity was taken from me by Taesan suddenly feels like my safe haven.

I practice my breathing and tame my scent even though I have a scent patch on.

I have two tasks, I shouldn’t worry Taesan with what I know. And I should proudly represent him despite the pictures hanging over my head like a cloud waiting to burst.

Soon, the elevator stops on the floor I need to be at, and I step out with my face neutral.

The second I open Taesan’s office door without knocking, I am engulfed in a hug that lifts me off the ground, and his nose is pressed into my neck.

"Where the fuck were you?" he asks and my breathing stutters.

"I-"

"Don’t you know I go mad when you are not here? Seoha? Don’t you know you control me?" he asks and I melt into his arms.

Goddess...don’t let me lose him. Please.
