Chapter 214: And I’ll kick him
Junho’s POV
Everything hurts worse than when Taesan and I used to practice combat.
Taesan owes me a broken rib, a black eye, a bruised nose, an explanation and an apology.
Minjae has been pacing the room and cursing Taesan in words that I’ve never heard before. His vocabulary is...rich.
My body is in pain, but my eyes devoutly follow his movements as he walks from my wall to the window. The pregnant omega is not repeating any curse words, they’re just rolling off his tongue.
"Then I’ll punch him in the nuts, Seoha will have to forgive me for making his man nutless" he says and pauses midway.
"Wait, I will definitely do that while twisting his nipple. That will hurt better"
"Minjae, sit. You’ll exhaust yourself" I suggest because it’s been two hours, but he gives me a glare.
He fascinates me. He is the loudest and most feisty omega I have ever seen. He’s strong and doesn’t hesitate to speak up.
Would he really like to completely be mine?
"Come sit" I say softly, patting the empty space on the bed and he side eyes me.
"Don’t tell me what to do. Why are you even telling me what to do when you can’t see through your right eye right now" the omega huffs and rubs at the underside of his belly.
"You-" I try to argue and he puts both hands on his hips in a warning stance.
"Don’t tell me what to do" he snaps and I know if I was an alpha, I would be able smell his scent flare with his stubborn refusal.
I wish I couldsmell him...
Someone knocks on the door, and we look at it at the same time as Yuki comes in with her eyes on the floor.
"Hi" Yuki says and at the arrival of woman, Minjae immediately sits next to me on the bed.
I hope he’s okay, or is his belly hurting from how much he’s straining himself?
If I knew he’d be this stressed, I would have fought against Taesan, at least the damage would be lesser.
"What do you want?" Minjae asks Yuki who sighs like she’s already tired of Minjae without even talking to him yet.
"I don’t want to cause any troubles" she says and I keep my eyes fixed her.
"More trouble than you’ve already caused?" Minjae asks and Yuki’s eyes snap up; I can see the struggle in her eyes to fight with the pregnant man.
Seeing the both of them fight won’t end well. Minjae is pregnant, Yuki is a trained killer and I’m too injured to interrupt a fight.
"You should leave, Yuki" I say and she looks at me with surprise.
There’s guilt on her face. I haven’t seen her in days, and today at Mountain Atelier was the first time we saw each other after a long time.
"I can’t leave yet; I want to talk to you" she says in a soft voice and Minjae interrupts her.
"Honey, would you like some water?" Minjae asks as he leans into me and my eyes widen a fraction.
Minjae is really strange...he has been scolding me for a while now...why is he suddenly calling me honey?
"I...no?" I answer the question like I’m asking another question.
"Okay, I’ll take care of you" he says with a bright smile.
"You don’t have to do all that" Yuki says flatly and shoves her hands into her pants pocket.
"You didn’t have to betray him" Minjae responds to her.
"I am his partner and his friend" Yuki points at herself she says those words through clenched teeth.
"You were and now you’re not. Say what you’re here for and leave please" Minjae snaps.
He and Yuki glare at each other for some seconds before she turns her attention to me again.
"I wanted to thank you for protecting me earlier, and I want to say I’m sorry for getting you in trouble" she says to me and I nod.
I don’t have anything to say to her, I really don’t.
She only told me she needs to see Taesan. She said she had important information to pass and that she’ll leave once she’s done.
"It’s fine" I say and she nods.
"And...I wanted to ask you to forgive me, I missed you" she says and Minjae’s discomfort suddenly makes sense.
He’s not being rude for no reason. He’s being...jealous of Yuki?
"I can’t forgive you easily Yuki, you went too far and can’t be trusted" I clear my throat.
"I understand" she whispers, dropping her head in a bow before leaving the room.
Once she’s gone, Minjae makes a move to get up but I grab his waist and pull him down, groaning as his body collides with mine.
"Are you masochistic? I can’t be responsible for two more broken ribs" he exclaims and I hold his jaw gently before connecting our lips.
The omega opens his mouth to let me kiss him.
His hand rests on the less bruised part of my face, and I lean into his touch, sighing into the kiss.
He hasn’t touched me since we returned to my home, and this is how I discover that I’m addicted to his touch. Even though I have loved a few people before I met him, Minjae makes me feel strange things.
He’s who I want to be with. He can insult me in my face every day and it’ll make me...happy.
"You should smile more" he says when we break the kiss to look at each other’s face.
He smiles at me and the corner of my lips lift to follow his action...
"Don’t smile right now. Your purple eye makes it weird" he pats my cheek and I blink in confusion.
"I’ll smile a lot from now on" I murmur and he presses a kiss to my lips before sighing loudly like he just remembered something.
"I’m still going to kill Kang Taesan when I see him" his smile suddenly drops.
"I mean it" he adds with fire in his tone.
Minjae...I must have saved the world in my past life to deserve you.
