Black Card Debt: Daddy's Little Thief (Omegaverse bl)-Chapter 38: Kkumi the bird

Taesan’s POV

The heavy sword drops from my hand to the floor with a clang and someone picks it up for me.

The rage is blurring my vision.

My hands are shaking and immediately Junho comes to stand by my side, he grabs my forearms and pulls me out of the room, his hand on me is strong and he already knows what I might do.

"I need to kill him" I say.

"And Sooin needs to see her father in the morning" he says and I stop right in my tracks outside.

The air here is clean, colder and not dense with blood and the smell of alpha terror, I lick my dry lip and pat my pocket for my cigarette, I have one somewhere.

"Captain" Junho says and I growl at him in response, seeing the red in my eyes in his eye’s reflection, "you’re losing it" he warns carefully and I get into the car, slamming the door shut as I sit with my head on the leather headrest.

"Junho...how does grandfather know so much?" I ask and my beta doesn’t respond, he looks at me through the window with his lips shut, and I wince as my head throbs.

Fuck.

"He is no god" I add, despising the title he calls himself by, the god, it’s just a title, but fuck, he makes it feel real.

"Kill them" I say, referring to the men he has with him at the warehouse and he nods, it’s the same thing every time.

There is a spy, there is a weak link, and there is a life I must protect.

"Now" I order and he pulls out his gun, cocking it before returning to the warehouse, I shut my eyes as soon as the screams of dying men start to filter out of the building.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

’What did I say about lying to me?’ my grandfather asks, and six years old me cries as the gun is pressed into my temple, ’mom! Mom!’ young Taesan screams and my parents sit there wordlessly.

’Did you kill the bird or not?’ grandfather yells, voice cracking with old age, not caring about the tears streaming down my cheeks or the way my arms are stretched out for my parents.

’San-ah, tell the truth’ my male omega mom says, his eyes are red from holding back tears, he wants to fight for me, but he dares not...he’s just an omega nobody in a house of the Kangs.

’I did it’ I cry, snot sliding down my nose as I sob.

’Then what is this?’ grandfather asks as he brings out the familiar golden bird cage from behind his seat and I see my pet dove, Kkumi, is in it.

’Kkumi-ya!’ I sob, reaching for it and grandfather pulls the gun away from me to point it the gun at the bird.

’You are Kang, you should understand there are actions and consequences, if I say kill it, you kill it!’ grandfather roars and directs the gun to my mother.

’Father!’ my dad gets to his feet to protect his husband, ’father, please reconsider, isn’t this too much’

’Do you think you have any form of control? You can barely subdue a small company...sit down you dog’ my grandfather says.

Young and confused, I stare at the bird I have lived for three months, is it over now? What is control?

BANG

’Arghh!’ my mother’s scream makes me turn my head and I burst into tears, the second I run to my bleeding mom, Kkumi is shot dead.

’Put him in the room with the bird, he will not end up like his father’ grandfather orders my handler and wipes off the blood on his cheek with his thumb before getting up to walk to me, mom and dad.

’I want to go back there! I want my mommy’ I beg and my mom holds me tightly while my father stands there helplessly, ’you will learn these words, consequence and control’ grandfather says before my handler carries me away.

’Soobin, do something! San-ah!’ my mom, Hasuel, sobs to my dad, but Soobin can’t do anything, he has no say.

I swore as a child that I will never be like that, I will always know what to do, I will fucking make a red carpet of blood if I have to, but one thing will be certain...I will be in control.

"Done" Junho returns to my window side, face covered in splatters of blood, eyes dark and empty.

He is becoming like me slowly and I hate it, I need him to be normal for us, I need him to anchor me.

"Get in Junho" I say as I pull off the eye patch and drop it on the chair, partially relieved, I slump in the seat while my beta gets into the car.

Without saying a word, he starts the car, driving us home with his face fixed on the empty road and hands gripping the wheel.

"When will we stop killing innocent people to cover shit?" Junho asks and I meet his eyes in the mirror, but he’s not looking at me.

"None of them are innocent and you know it" I say and look out the window, the street light blur and mix as he speeds down the road, driving with the speed of a seasoned racer...

"Innocent or not, we must find a better way to do this" he says and I press my lips together.

Kill the bird, save the mother, don’t kill the bird, kill the mother and the bird.

"They were made to die," I whisper and Junho meets my eyes for a second before dropping them, he doesn’t agree but he is wise to keep his thoughts to himself, captain is his boss, not his friend.

"And the omega, any information on him?" I ask Junho.

"Not yet, what I have is little and you’re not going to like it..." Junho says and I let out a breath through my nose, fuck, now what?

"Tell it all to me" I say and he looks at me again through the mirror, "tomorrow, but tonight sleep...you need it".

I end up in my bedroom, and my eyes find the skinny omega sleeping on my bed, he’s hugging my daughter.

Magnetized as always, I stand at the foot of the bed with my arms folded across my chest, wondering what it is about him.

And as if sensing me, the omega opens his eyes and stretches his hand for me, he smiles sleepily as he murmurs; "come to sleep alpha"

Fuck.
