Yujun's POV
Why is my little sister, the little girl I have shielded all my life, deciding that she wants to be killed by our father's hand.
Yunah might not know the darkness of our world and it's dangers but still, I know she knows enough to keep herself safe and sound, I know Yunah cannot be that rckless to bond with our enemy.
Unless it had been a mistake…or…
"Did he force you?" I ask her as the thought flashes through my mind, a growl rumbling in my chest. Yunah looks horrified as she lurches forward, "what? No!" she screams and I hiss at her in disbelief.
No forced omega has ever confessed to being forced before. I grab her by the shoulders to examine her neck angrily.
I know what our kinds, the mafias, are capable of. I know what our world thinks of omegas, I have seen the horrors omegas experience all the time- I won't sit and let my sister go through that.
"Oppa!" She cries out, and with a snarl I pull down the high collar of her turtle neck top to look at her neck for injuries and truly, there is a fresh bite mark on her neck, a bitter whimper from my omega fills the room, a reaction born out of pain.
"What the bastard's name?" I ask her angrily and she shakes her head. "I will kill every last one of the Hwangs" I roar and Yunah holds unto my hands in desperation, "Oppa, No! We love each other" she says, her hold on me is strong and firm as she pleads for the one who placed his mark on her.
"Love?" I repeat the word like it's a strange tongue, all the anger I felt fizzles out of me within a second, Yunah has always been a love child, how do I tell her there is no such thing as love?
"Yunah…" I call her name softly, "Yes Oppa, we love each other and we want to be together…we.." she stops speaking and looks into my eyes. Her eyes looks like the same Yunah I grew up with but this Yunah is also different, she is in pain yet holding her gaze…I see something unexplainable.
Love?
What is love?
"Yunah," I call her name again firmly, "I know what you're going to say Oppa" she whispers and shut her eyes tightly, "Father will not accept it" I say gently, preparing her for the future heartbreak.
"Father doesn't have to know" she pleads, "Yunah wake up! There is no such thing as love" I say at her and her bottom lip quivers. "Yes there is…you love me" she says, her eyes brimming with tears, "it is different" I wipe at her cheek to wipe away the tear that slides down.
"When you fall in love, you will get it" she say tiredly, as if I have become a lost cause. In her eyes is sadness that is too heavy to belong there as she speaks.
'when you fall in love'
The same words we had laughed over days ago is now a sword to my heart. "There is no love for me Yunah" I say sadly, remembering that my first kiss which I gave to Jaehyun was not one of love, I don't even know what that was.
Yunah tilts her head and smile at me sadly "I can smell it on you, you know" she says gently and I frown, "what?" I ask her, confused about what she was talking about.
"You smell happy, wherever you had come from…that place is good for you, it is my first time smelling your happiness" she says and I blink. "It doesn't matter" I say curtly and Yunah flinches at my tone.
Her expression causes regret to fill my heart immediately and I let out a sigh, giving in to her. "Look at me" I say and she does, "my little sister, don't expect too much, our world doesn't give room for much" I say to her in a gentler tone and she nods.
"I know you don't agree with me but please Oppa, don't hate me" she whispers and I smile at her genuinely, the smile causes the injury on my lips to throb with pain.
My switch in expression alarms Yunah and she scans my face with worry, "you were hurt…father did this" she says and another bout of tears fills her soft brown eyes. "It's okay" I say with a smile and she shakes her head, "Its not okay!, why do you turn these things to your normalcy?" yunah asks me, "because it's my normalcy,Yunah" I say and tuck a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I hate this, I hate everything" she says as she touches my face gently. "It doesn't hurt that much Yunah, I promise" I laugh, holding her hands in mine, keeping the gentle smile on my face for her, I wish I could add 'someone was there to take care of me'.
"Did he take care of you well enough?" Yunah asks me and I tilt my head to the side and pain shoots through my body from the simple muscle movement. "Who?" I ask in confusion, "your lover" she says in a quieter tone.
"Yunah there is no lover" I say to her and she shakes her head, "Oppa you don't have to hide with me" she says and I move away from her.
"I am not hiding anything Yunah-ya, I already told you, if I have anyone I am interested in, you will be the first to know" I say laughing awkwardly with guilt burning in my chest.
I just scolded her for bonding with a Hwang Clan member while I myself just gave my first kiss to one. "Oppa, it's okay to tell me" Yunah says and I sigh, "I'm serious, there is no one" I insist.
"Then why do you smell heavily of Hwang Jaehyun" she asks and my heart drops.
