Chapter 75 - Showdown 2

Minwoo smirks, taken aback. Just because the crazy bastard cannot get into Wonho's pants doesn't mean he had to use force just to get it. 'Rape? Yah, I didn't have to rape him! He is the one who came onto me.'

Yeah. That's right. He didn't even have to do anything. Wonho was the one who begged him for it.

He is rewarded by Junjie's enraged face; as if the face couldn't get any uglier than it already is. The man's eyes are big, his frown deep, his nostrils large. Horrid. Utter disgusting. Minwoo is pleased to say the least. He won.

'DON'T FUCKING TALK BOUT HIM LIKE THAT YOU MOTHE-'

'WHAT THE HELL??!' Junjie's advance is halted by Jeongmin who somehow managed to ran between them and pushed the beta away to a seating position. Both the fighters are stunned by the alpha who looks at both of them back and forth, his face filled with horror.

'You okay?' He asks Minwoo first since he seems like the worse of the two, and the victim, based on the whole situation. Earning a nod, he turns towards the other. 'What happened?'

'He's mad I banged Wonho.'

'Try saying that again!!' Junjie attempted to continue where he left but again, is stopped by Jeongmin who holds his shoulders a bit too tightly, making him hiss in pain. 'Yah, stop! Both of you!!'

'It was mutual. He told you that? How he begged me not to leave him during heat?' Minwoo laughs, provoking the beta further. He is really enjoying the irritated and desperate look on that face. It is ridiculously stupid-looking.

Jeongmin turns to him and Minwoo froze. It is the first time he ever saw him that furious.

'Minwoo, shut you-.'

'That's cus you marked him you bast-aAkhh!!' Junjie hisses again when he is shoved back by the other alpha. For a few minutes, nobody says a word. Junjie, starting to feel the result of the alpha's strong hits, Jeongmin, monitoring both the crazy guys and Minwoo, trying to process what was thrown at him. Things are still tensed, both alphas shocked at the accusation; one obviously more than the other. But at least, they are calm enough not to throw punches anymore.

'What are you going about now? I didn't mark him.' Minwoo finally breaks the silence, his voice shaking out of disbelief. Following his friend, Jeongmin adds, 'Junjie. He's not mated.'

He knows the beta is not convinced, his annoyed eyes and smirk revealing his thoughts - that Minwoo is making excuses. Someone needs to tell him the truth so the whole fight can end, and that someone is Jeongmin. 'Hey. You don't know cus you're a beta but Minwoo's not mated. He's not carrying Wonho's scent.'

Again, Junjie sneers, confusing both the alphas, 'That's cus this bastard marked him when he just turned! Wono couldn't handle the bond!'

'Now you're not making sense.' 'That's not possible.' Both the alphas reply at the same time.

'Well then, why don't you ask him if he smelled Wonho's mate? Cus he's bonded, since last year. And he still is.' Minwoo eyes widens at the reveal, unable to hide his shock and obviously, the beta notices.

Jeongmin turns back to look at him, he too, startled. 'Didn't you-?'

'You didn't know right? This guy forced himself on Wono and left him to die.' Junjie supports himself up to a standing position and glares down to Minwoo who couldn't find any comeback. The latter is too baffled. That is too gruesome of an accuse for it to be a mere fiction. He shouldn't make that kind of story about his best friend.

'Try touching him again and I'll make sure he's the last person you'll ever get to touch.'

Minwoo locks his eyes on the outsider as he limps slowly towards the exit. Even after he is long gone, he keeps staring at the door, his mind is too shocked to accept reality, if what Junjie said is true. Not of the accusation, but of the fact that Wonho is mated. That Seo Wonho belongs to another alpha. And that that alpha left him to die last year.

'Tsk!' He hisses as he feels pressure on his nose and bares his teeth to Jeongmin, pushing his hand away from his face.

'Yah. Just lemme check your face real quick.'

'Urghh...' Minwoo drags himself up on the bed, his stomach hurting from the whack's punch. He feels woozy right now. Junjie didn't make any sense but it is messing with his mind. Glancing at the door, fully alert at the littlest sound, Minwoo groans at Jeongmin who is back with a first aid kit in his hand. Clenching his teeth to endure the pain as the other cleans his wounds, Minwoo closes his eyes.

'He's mated? Did you bite him?' Jeongmin finally asks.

'I fucking bought him a protector cus I'm afraid I'll bite him. You think I'd do that to him? Really?'

Jeongmin half-smiles at his pathetic-looking friend. The so-called noble beaten to a pulp by a weak beta. 'Well, they said he is.'

'Yeah. I heard.'

'But you slept with him.' Minwoo gulps and exhales deeply. Yes, he did. And yes, he didn't notice the bond because if he had, he would have stayed away. No, he didn't even have to stay away because he wouldn't find the omega appealing in the first place. Even if he is that crazy about Wonho, he would never sleep with someone else's mate, even if he could. He is not that despicable.

'Well one of us is lying then.'

'I believe you.' He hears his friend reply without giving it a thought and Minwoo feels relieved. 'You were so careful approaching him. You'd never do that.'

Minwoo smiles back at his one and only buddy, thankful for his support, 'Besides, I don't believe in one-sided bond thing. Too crazy for me.'

If it is too crazy for Jeongmin, then it is too crazy to be true. Because the man reads. And he reads a lot of crazy things. And he believes most of the crazy things he read. And if he said it is impossible, then it probably is.
