Chapter 273: Sly fox Jaemin

Taesan’s POV

Roh Jaemin, this fucking snake.

Jaemin’s body is pressing against mine as he forces his way into the elevator and I grab him by the neck, slamming him against the silver wall so hard that the elevator shakes.

"What the fuck are you doing?" I growl at him and he gasps for air.

"Please...please...please...don’t throw me out" the red-head man pleads, and I bare my teeth at him.

I want to break his neck; our last meeting is still fresh on my mind and the urge to kill someone is still eating me up from inside.

"I’m begging you" he whispers with desperation

The veins in his temple are starting to bulge, his eyes are starting to water, and I let go of him to stop myself from completely taking his life.

I want to do it, but I shouldn’t.

I put a small distance between our bodies, and I lean against the wall opposite him.

"Why are you here?" I ask him, looking at him through my glasses.

Physically, I sound sane and put together but, in my head, I have broken his neck.

His mouth is open and blood is spilling out.

I have gouged his eyes out and blood is streaming out.

All the tears he ever made my little girl cry; he’s crying them all. He’s weeping tears of red and staining the elevator.

’Yes’ my alpha encourages the thoughts.

"No" I say out loud and Jaemin sinks to the floor, wrapping his arms around himself as he looks at nothing.

"Your grandfather is dead" he says as if the man’s death is a pain to him.

"You’re next, Jaemin" I tell him, and he looks up at me with unseeing eyes.

He’s good at acting.

Jaemin has always been good at acting, and I was a young fool for falling for him back then.

"Taesan...there’s someone else in his place. The person is dangerous, he came after me, he...he..." Jaemin starts to sob loudly.

His sobs have no effect on me.

He doesn’t have those round brown eyes that mean the world to me. No.

He doesn’t have that button nose that sniffles when he gets sad. No.

He doesn’t have those small lips that easily form a pout. No.

Jaemin has no fucking right to stay here and sob in front of me like he means something to me.

"Are you listening to me, Sannah? Do you even care about me?" he asks.

"Jaemin, one more wrong word and I will send you to your maker too" I warn him and he starts to cry even harder.

"LOOK AT ME! THIS IS ALL BECAUSE I GOT INVOLVED WITH YOUR FAMILY" he yells at me.

The omega pulls his shirt up and shows me his back.

Bloodied.

"That person turned all the water in my apartment building into a blood shower" he says and I keep staring blankly at him.

"He hacked my computer and left a warning for me...he said I have to die for hurting Seoha"

"And you will die for hurting Seoha" I tell him and he stares at me with disbelief; the sobbing has stopped.

Jaemin is smart.

He’s one of the smartest men I know.

He is the only person who has independently done business with my grandfather for so long and isn’t dead yet.

If Shin Yechan could kill my grandfather in less than a day and Jaemin can escape, it means something is wrong.

This sly fox has something up his sleeves.

"Why are you here, Jaemin" I ask, taking a step towards him.

"I need your protection" he says in a false weak voice and I chuckle.

"You take me for a fool, don’t you?" I ask and grab him by the throat, he gasps as I slam him against the silver wall.

"Mmgghf!" he gasps and I slam him against the wall again.

"Wait!" he cries out, and I growl, only holding his neck tighter and cutting off his breath.

"Are you ready to talk?" I ask and he nods, turning a strange shade of red that I like.

I like how red he’s turning, but he’ll be more beautiful as white, white as a dead man.

"Taesan, think of the times we spent together...remember when I was there for you" he says and I give him more time to talk.

A goodbye speech should be given time.

"I am the only omega that can take your knot..." he says seductively and I squeeze harder.

"Okay! okay! he wants to force Seoha into coming back home" he confesses and I stop squeezing.

"By doing what?"

"A national scandal, Taesan, you’ll be on the news for kissing a red head...and my fans will know that it’s me" he explains.

"You’re not leaving this elevator alive" I snarl.

"You need me, you need me, San. Please, hear me out" he screams.

"Why would I hear you out when all you’ve done is hurt me and my fucking family?" I roar in his face.

"I want to survive and I know that man won’t let me" he says as he shuts his eyes to breathe through how hard I’m choking him.

"Jaemin...Roh Jaemin" I say his name with all the hate I feel.

"Please, play the part with me, a-and I’ll find a way to save my life" he says.

I lift my fist.

"Our pictures have been taken! If you kill me here and now in a public space, it will only put you in trouble" he says and I drop my hand.

Jaemin is really fucking smart.

I must give him credit for that as much as I hate him. I never thought twice, but right now, I know I have to.

Letting go of him, I take step back and stare at him.

"Do you know where the man is?" I ask and the omega shakes his head.

"No, I don’t, I tried looking for him too with my hacking skills, but he’s really hidden" he says.

"Find me his location, and I’ll keep you safe" I say and Jaemin’s shoulder falls.

"You have to give me time, Taesan, seriously, you have to give me at least three days and let me live with you" he says and I look at him, weighing my options.

Fuck.
