Taewon slowly loosened his grip.
his hand slipped from around Jihyun's neck, then the tight hold on his legs relaxed. Without a word, he gently pushed Jihyun aside and stood up.
Jihyun sat frozen for a second, lips parted, breath caught in his throat. Then he noticed
Blood.
A small smear of red at the corner of Taewon's lip.
Taewon grabbed a tissue from the coffee table, holding it against his mouth as he walked toward the bathroom,
Jihyun scrambled up from the couch, He followed after him, voice rising with each step.
"You!"
"You did that on purpose!" he shouted, storming into the bathroom doorway.
"What kind of person are you?! Holding my legs like that, dragging me around what, were you waiting for a moment to humiliate me?!"
Taewon didn't answer.
He was in front of the mirror, sleeves rolled up, dabbing at his lip in silence.
"Say something!" Jihyun snapped.
"Why you pulled me,Let me fall. If I'd hit the floor, fine! I wouldn't have died. But you"
He pointed an accusing finger,
"You're just like all those other shity face Alphas. Acting decent outside but full of filth inside."
Taewon looked at him in the mirror.
"I didn't mean it," he said, voice low.
"Then apologize."
"It was an accident," Taewon said
"That wasn't a kiss."
"Oh, so now it's a thing to define?"
Jihyun stepped closer, voice rising.
"It was a kiss. A disgusting one. You're disgusting."
That made Taewon finally turn around.
"Disgusting?"
His voice cracked slightly.
"You think I meant to kiss you?"
"You think I wanted to fall on you?" Jihyun shot back.
"If I hadn't pulled you, you'd have split your head open on the glass table. You call that disgusting too?"
Silence stretched between them,
"Then why did you save me ,let me die?"
Taewon stared at him. "Just stop."
He turned away, unscrewing the ointment cap. Quietly, he began applying it to his injured lip.
Jihyun stood frozen for a second,
"Fine. I'm leaving."
Taewon paused. "Okay?"
"I'm serious."
He stood up. His voice, now had a dangerous edge.
"Why can't you just let things go? Why do you blow everything up like this?" His eyes narrowed. "You're not the only one in this."
"Yahhh ,why are you rising your voice on me"
" also,you didn't fall on yourself!" Jihyun snapped.
"I said I didn't mean it!"
Taewon growled, stepping forward.
"And if your hand wasn't injured, maybe you'd think twice before throwing tantrums!"
"Then get out!" Jihyun shouted. "Get out of the house!"
Taewon looked at Jihyun straight.
"You want me to leave?"
"Yes!"
His jaw tightened. Without another word, he turned and walked out of the bathroom.
Jihyun stayed still, heart pounding.
Good, he thought. Good. Let him go.
He turned and marched up the stairs, back to his room, slamming the door shut behind him.
Downstairs, Taewon grabbed his keys and opened the front door.
But someone was already standing there.
"Harin?"
She smiled, standing in a pale pink blouse, "Hi, Taewon."
Behind him, upstairs, Jihyun opened his door again, looking down toward the entrance.
His eyes landed on Harin.
Standing at his front door.
Waving sweetly at his Alpha.
Harin stepped inside the house, she reached out and grabbed Taewon's arm like it belonged to her.
Jihyun was already on the stairs when he saw it her hands shamelessly clutching his husband wrist,
A smirk tugging at his lips.
"Oh? Hello, Harin," he said, with sweet voice One eyebrow raised in irritation.
"Didn't see you there."
"Hi, Jihyun."
Still holding onto Taewon's arm,
Jihyun's gaze dropped to her hand, then slowly lifted back up to her face.
"Are you having problems in your legs harin? A polio or something?"
"What?" harin eyes widening in disbelief. "Are you cursing me?"
"No, no." Jihyun tilted his head, feigning innocence. "I just noticed you were grabbing onto Taewon like your legs forgot how to function. Thought maybe you needed medical help."
"I'm wearing heels,Jihyun " Harin said with bitter tone
"I can't walk properly in them, so I always take his arm."
"Ohh," Jihyun said with a nod.
"So you always take him as your support?Should've told me earlier, Harin. I'll get a wheelchair arranged for you. Might be more convenient."
Taewon cleared his throat.
Harin ignore Jihyun after the clean roast. And turned to Taewon
"Let's go inside, Taewon Ahh, I missed your house so much. I haven't visited since you got married."
Taewon gently slipped his arm from her grasp.
"You go ahead."
" Miss Hana," he called toward the kitchen, "Please prepare something for Harin."
"Miss Hana," Jihyun called right after, voice louder,
"Make something spicy for me. Real spicy. I'm in the mood today."
Taewon's eyes glared at Jihyun.
What the is wrong with him now?
They all sat down in the living area. Harin glanced over at Jihyun, pretending concern.
"What happened to your hand, Jihyun? You didn't get hurt falling on this expensive floor, did you?" Her smile was sweet but laced with poison.
Jihyun didn't flinch. "Oh, no. I actually burned it while cooking something for my Taewon. He carried me all the way to the hospital."
Harin's smile twitched. "Really? Taewon carried you?"
"He did," Jihyun replied.
Harin turned to Taewon,
"Do you remember that time when I hit my leg and you carried me all the way home? You even took care of me like I was a princess."
Jihyun's jaw clenched.
Before he could speak, Harin reached out toward Taewon again, touching his lip.
"Oh, Taewon your lip. What happened?"
"I bit him," Jihyun answered before Taewon could.
Harin's hand paused mid-air. "You bit him?"
"Of course," Jihyun said, expression calm but deadly. "I can bite my husband, can't I?"
He leaned back.
"If he were your husband, you'd have bitten him too, right?"
Jihyun added with smirk.
He smiled and said
"Too bad,harin. Not everyone get this luck.
Who wouldn't lose control around hot ,sexy Alpha like my Taewon. "
Taewon set between them frozen one side his wife,the other his cousin.
And both of them ready to go to war.
