The next day, he went to school.With every step, his breath felt like it was stopping.He just wished that no one would look at him, no one would ask what had happened to his face.
As soon as he stepped into the classroom—the first words he heard were not from a stranger,but from his closest friend, Sang:"What an ugly face."
Yeo Jun had never told anyone about his accident, but from that day on, that talk spread in every corner of the school. Every student, every corridor, every classroom was filled with rumors about him.
The rumor was that Yeo Jun hadn't had an accident—instead, some powerful gang had kidnapped him.This was on everyone's lips, as if people cared more about gossip than the truth.
The students at school started avoiding him. Some even began saying that Yeo Jun had taken drugs, and that's why his face was burned or cut.
He wasn't just in pain—he was drowning in a sea of disgrace.
His closest friend Sang, whom he considered a brother, also left him alone and made new friends. One day, in front of the whole class, Sang humiliated him in front of everyone:"I don't think criminals even need to study…"
Those words felt like a knife to Yeo Jun.
People started calling him the school's "criminal."
Some saw the scars on his face, others saw the pain of his past.But no one ever looked inside—neither at his broken heart nor his barely holding-on courage.
Sang made new friends—and Yeo Jun was forgotten as if he had never existed.
Yeo Jun failed badly in his exams.
His mind was still stuck in that moment—he constantly felt that man would come back and take him away.
He couldn't sleep well at night and remained blank all day in the classroom.
After he failed, one teacher spoke to him when everyone else had turned away:"I know your year is being wasted," the teacher said, "but if you work hard, I can give you a chance for a make-up test."
Yeo Jun only nodded in response. He had nothing left—except that one chance.
And in that make-up test, he gave it his all. He studied late into the nights, despite the fear.
He passed.He didn't win, but he didn't completely lose either.
After that, he dropped out of school and shifted to college — a new city, a new environment. Anyway, his parents didn't want to see his face anymore.
He got admission in a private college at Mr. Hyunwoo's insistence.Now, to them, he was just a responsibility — not someone to be loved.
Then university time came, and that's where he met Yun...He was the first person in a long time who talked to Yeo Jun like a human being.The first friend he made — after all that darkness.
Yun needed a place to stay, and at that moment, Yeo Jun's room was the only one without a roommate.The hostel administration said Yun urgently needed a place, and he had no option to go back anymore.That's why Yeo Jun had to allow someone into his room — even though his heart wasn't ready for it.
He couldn't say anything to Yun... maybe because he no longer had the courage to fight anything.
Present...,,,,...,,,.....,,,..
yeo jun was his creation... and now it was time to take him back.He had waited years for this day.Now he was ready... ready to reclaim him.This time, no matter what happens — he wouldn't let him go.
When he came to Seoul, Korea, he had already learned that yeo jun was somewhere nearby.His first attempt was at a restaurant.That was the first time he saw him again — but at that moment, the beast was violently attacking someone.He didn't want beast to notice him or come face-to-face with him then...He didn't want to appear in the beast's sight.So, he quietly left from there.
When he tried again the second time...Yeo Jun was at a mall with a friend.This time, he could easily reach him.Everything was going according to his plan.
As soon as rumors of a bomb started spreading in the mall, chaos erupted.Screams, running, people rushing here and there...He was almost in reach — only a moment away...
But then...He saw the beast coming toward him.
He clenched his teeth tightly — for the second time... yet again, he had to return empty-handed.It was his fate that the beast was there — but he knew the beast well.And now only one question echoed in his mind:"What is that beast doing with Yeo Jun?"
This couldn't just be a coincidence.First the restaurant... now the mall... and both times the beast was there?No... this time he was prepared.No matter what happened — today he had come to take him away at all costs.
He knew that Yeo Jun's car would pass by here today.He was about to go to Italy — but what Yeo Jun was completely unaware of was that his hunter was waiting for him right there.
Shards of glass were scattered across the road —He was looking everywhere, but the direction he needed to look in...his eyes hadn't reached there yet...
Meanwhile, in a lavish house, inside a room that looked like an office,"I've delivered them to the safe house,"Min Jae reported as he sat across from him in the office.
He was scanning some files on his laptop.Numbers and photos appeared on the screen — every face telling a story.
"This time... how many have been disowned by their own families?"Min Jae said softly, regret evident in his eyes.
"Five."
He took a deep breath, looked away from the screen, and met his gaze."Five people whose own blood refuses to call them their own..."
A silence fell between them for a moment.But one thing was clear — this chain of events was not going to stop here.
"Alright, inform Kian... so their treatment can begin."
Even today, he was dressed in his usual formal clothes —composed as always, and as handsome as ever.
His black hair was perfectly styled as always,and his dark brown eyes —eyes that could read anyone's heart and soul.
His face, which often bore a gentle sternness mixed with anger,and his well-toned body, a testament to his strength.
But more than all this,what set him apart was his unique aura.
An aura that everyone could feel...an presence that made people think a thousand times before crossing his path.
Because he didn't strike someone directly —instead, he tormented them so deeply that they began begging for death themselves...
