Jaehyun's POV
Tap. Tap. Tap.
It's been three days.
"This is damaging our name and title, and I will not have it" my father's strong voice booms through the speakers.
Three days since Yujun vanished.
Three days since the night we had dinner at my apartment. With my eyes fixed on my phone, I tap my finger on the table repeatedly. The rhythmic tapping earns me questioning looks from clan members near me.
"When did we get careless with important shipments like this?" my father asks, his anger is very detectable even through the speakers that connect the live call with the rest of us.
"If we lose this deal with the Baes, it would leave a dent in our reputation" he continues.
I know I should focus on my clan and this crucial meeting, but my Alpha won't stop worrying about Yujun. Worrying about how all of the spies I sent to monitor him keep bringing the same news: Choi Yujun has gone missing.
With a sigh, I sink into my seat, "Choi Yujun...where are you?" I muse out loud, and Taeho who is beside me turns his head to look at me, obviously confused by my sudden interest in Yujun's disappearance, "Really? You're still looking for him?" He asks, keeping his voice low.
"Why? Do you have news on him?" I ask, no longer paying attention to my father's voice or the meeting. "Why are you fixated on him?, shouldn't you be happy that your enemy is out of the way?" Taeho asks and I slouch in my seat.
"Hmmm" I humm instead of giving an answer, "Jaehyun" my father calls my name, and out of habit, I sit up straight to give my full attention to him, "yes father?".
"Stay alert, the Kangs are planning something big and if we are not careful, they will cause unmanageable damage" father says, and I nod firmly, pressing my lips in a straight line, firm and seriously.
He calls another clan member's name to address him while I return my attention to my phone, making Taeho to shake his head at me.
"What did you do with Yujun's murder plan I leaked to you the other night" Taeho asks quietly and I smirk at him, "what should I have done with it?" I ask just for the fun of seeing him stress.
"You play with everything" the man hisses at me and turn his face to the screen. "I expect a feedback in less than three days from everyone, we need to get those Kangs off our business" my father, "yes boss" we all say simultaneously.
As soon as the meeting is dismissed, I leave the room with Taeho following, "is there any Intel to work with today?" I ask him quietly.
"Yes, an omega factory has been uncovered" he says, handing his phone with a picture of the said factory to me. "They are force breeding Omegas... Jaehyun, the age range is disgusting" he says
"How old?" I ask, handing the phone back to Taeho, "young girls from sixteen to eighteen" he says, I pause to look at him. "They are fucking kids" I say with pure disgust, there should never be such a place as an Omega factory, talk less of one with that disgusting age range.
"If I go in tonight, no one will realize" I say hurriedly, "Yah, don't be a risky jerk" Taeho grabs my arm to make me stop that train of thought.
"Look, it's best I go alone to spy for a good time to attack" I explain and Taeho opens his mouth to disagree when my phone's buzzing distracts us.
I pull the phone out and see the buzz was a notification, a simple text from Yujun that sets my body in motion- "yah! Where are you going?" Taeho calls after me as I walk away from him quickly.
Yujun: the hundred of texts are annoying.
Walking quickly to my car, I dial Yujun's number and he picks up on the third ring, "Yah Choi Yujun, where have you been?" I ask him and the sound of his sigh is the first thing I hear before he finally responds with, "Away. Why?".
"Do you know you missed my call and texts? I had work for you the other day?" I say while starting my car's engine. "What do you want now?" Yujun asks. "Meet me immediately, I'll send you the location" I respond.
"Fine" he says and the call ends, typing quickly, I send the address to him before zooming out of the parking lot and into the street, my alpha desperate to see Yujun safe and sound.
It doesn't take long to arrive at the location I gave him. Stepping out, I meet Yujun waiting with his hoodie on and his head hanging low. My heart pounds as I approach him, "Yah, Choi Yujun do you know..." My sentence dies on my tongue at the sight of his face.
"What?" He asks, tilting his head to look at me with brown eyes that looks dead. "Who did this to you?" I ask and he shrugs, "it's nothing" he says casually.
Unable to control myself, I move forward and pull off his hood. "Fuck..." I cuss as I take in the damage on him, he looks like he was kidnapped and tortured by an enemy.
His left eye is swollen shut, his lips are busted, still raw and bleeding, his cheeks are littered with fresh marks. "Who?" I ask again, my Alpha peeking through my voice.
Yujun turns his head away from my hand, "who what?" He asks, the subtle blue of his omega flickers in his eyes.
"Who did this to you?" I growl.
"This?. This is what happens with being an omega male in a clan of power" Yujun says, his voice steady with an acceptance that rubs me the wrong way.
"I'm going to kill them all" my alpha says through me and Yujun's eyes widen in shock.
