Use Me Like A Drug (omegaverse bl)-Chapter 102: Lighting gas and jellyfish

Yujun’s POV

Do you know those moments when you feel life being snatched out of you?

When you see your life dangling in front of you and you just can’t take it for yourself.

When you just know it’s over...but for some reason, you know there is something you should fight for.

I think...there is something I should fight for...my sister? Maybe but I’m sure there has to be something worth fighting for.

"I’m not going" the simple words fall out of my mouth before I can stop them.

My father, who had been getting ready to leave the room, pauses to acknowledge me.

My heart pounds in my throat as he slowly turns around, I flinch in anticipation of another hit from him, but he gives me a smile instead.

His smile is wide and looks terrifying, the smile he has kept specially for his profitable business partners.

"What did you say?" he asks in a gentle voice that I have never heard before.

The men holding me up snicker and tighten their grip around my arms.

Their strong grips are starting to hurt.

"I’m not going!" I repeat myself with a growl at my father, as I try to fight the men’s hands off me.

Father keeps the smile on his face like I am a comedian...my life has been nothing to him but a joke, I’m tired.

Kang Sihyuk?

The bastard who is synonymous with lawlessness in our world?

"He now growls at me, the son raised through all of his miserable years" father says and their laughter fills the room.

The statement evokes shame and fear in me, this is my father, my alpha...the man with the power to decide my fate.

If I live, if I die, he decides.

"Father, please, I will do anything, I am not going there" I say, my voice getting more desperate and helpless the more I plead.

"Son" he says, using the title for mockery instead of as something he means and I look up at his face, terrified by the smile he is still wearing.

A warning.

"The one thing you should have done, you failed" father says and I shake my head side to side as tears well up again in my eyes.

Guilt is starting to spread in my chest slowly with every word he says.

"You chose to lie to your family, the people who gave you life...because of a rival" he hisses and bends forward so that he is face to face with me.

"My son, Choi Yujun, you betrayed my trust" he adds and my shoulders drop as sobs rips through my throat as the weight of what I have done falls on me.

Father asked me for intel on the Hwangs and I lied to him.

I couldn’t do it. I just couldn’t betray the Hwangs.

I love my family, but I also love them.

I couldn’t betray the love they showed me...the love I have never felt before from anyone.

Now I know that I will have to pay for the choice I made but I don’t regret it, I only regret ever getting close enough to Jaehyun to bring my curse on him.

"I’m sorry father, please..." I beg but he straightens his back, looking down at me with disdain in his eyes.

"If Sehwa hadn’t revealed the real location to us earlier, your lies would have been believed" he shakes his head at me.

The guilt that has been growing steadily in me finally bites into my heart, puncturing that fragile part of me with a hundred sharp edges and I hunch over in pain.

"I’m sorry" I say again with genuine heartache.

"I’m sorry" the words keep coming like a chant, a prayer, a plea.

He brushes imaginary specks of dust off his clothes and nods his head to the man standing next to him.

"Once the money is sent, let me know" he says to the man.

"Father please" I whisper, knowing there is no way out of this.

"Take him to his room, remember the one week should be for...preparing the good, by new year he has to be out of here" father eyes me one more time before leaving.

The men release my arms carelessly, and I fall to the ground with a pained grunt.

"Father!" I scramble up to chase after him and beg for my life, but the door is slammed in my face.

"I’m done for" I say to myself in hopeless fear.

My lungs seem to have forgotten how to work as my breathing becomes hectic and rough.

My heart also has forgotten how to function, pounding hard and fast as raw panic takes over my body, squeezing my throat with invisible hands.

I’m better off dead than being sold into the beastly hands of the barbaric Kangs.

"Father! Father!!" I cry out again and pound on the door with my fists as the darkness slowly creeps closer and closer to me.

I look over my shoulder with my eyes wide and wild. My omega is silent. Almost like he’s dead inside me.

"Please, save me" I cry out again.

There are those eyes in here, those hands that plague my night and they are coming closer

My throat feels tight as another wave of nausea threatens to swallow me up.

I’m no longer scared.

I’m terrified.

Horrified for myself, my future, I need to fight! 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"FATHER" I roar with all of my strength, starting to see things blurry and unclear.

The door opens and I look up in time to see a person dressed in white coming to save me.

"Save me...please..." I whisper and pass out.

Suddenly I am the sea, not drowning, not swimming. There is a person in white saying something to me but I don’t understand.

Is it a woman? Is it a man?

Their lips are moving but I hear nothing.

’Yujun, my child’ the voice breaks into my head and I wince.

It’s a woman...It’s the moon goddess.

’See, look here you omega’ she says and I see two jellyfish.

A big one and a baby, the big one’s glow is weak and fluctuating but the baby seems to light up the entire sea.

’Won’t you wake up?" she asks and force hits me hard in my stomach.

With a gasp and pain in my lower belly, I wake up in my own bed with my sister next to me.

I blink twice to come to my senses, my sister’s body is shaking like she’s silently crying and I lift my hand to touch her head.

"Yuyu" I call her name, and she looks at me with surprise, like she didn’t expect me to see her crying.

"Don’t cry" I say and she pull strands of hair out of my face.

"Oppa, lets run away now" she says and I chuckle in pain. It’s always the same with her.

Let’s run away.

"That can only happen in movies sweet child" I say to her and she sits up.

"No, Jaehyun hyung can save us...Yeon mom will protect us and..." she says and I sit up too, "I know they can" I say.

"Then? Let’s choose them" she says.

I want to choose them too...

"Don’t be stupid" a voice says from the door and Sehwa walks in.

I growl deep in my chest and put my arms around Yunah to protect her from the vile woman coming in.

"You already endangered the people of Hwangyeon by revealing their location, how selfish can you be?" she says while wearing a concerned expression.

"What?" I ask.

"Stop lying!" Yunah screams at Sehwa with rage, "you did it! We know you did it!" she says.

"Oh really? I came too late" Sehwa says and bends over laughing like a maniac.

"Then how do you want to explain? They already think you did it...how will they save the man who exposed the location of a hundred innocent people for his own safety?" Sehwa asks.

"You are a monster" Yunah screams again and I hold her back, pulling her to myself, "don’t" I say, knowing that harming Sehwa will make my father angry.

I see tears of frustration slide down Yunah’s face as she glares at Sehwa.

"I love this, having both of you at my mercy" Sehwa says and sticks her tongue out to lick her lips, looking every bit like the snake she is.

"Don’t say a word" I whisper to my sister.

"It’s sad...I really have no business with you two but this...?" she says and bursts into laughter again.

"This is fun" she claps.

Yunah and I stare at her without words.

"Young master" a knock on the door comes, I sit up straighter to see who it is.

"It’s time for your skin treatment" the maid at the door with a bag says and bows her head in greeting.

"The master Choi ordered it" she quickly adds and I get out of the bed, the ’preparation’ for being Kang’s good has started.

"I will do it for him" Yunah says and I look at her in shock, "I’m sorry young lady but..."

"I’m a dermatologist" Yunah says and the maid bows again and hands over the bag to my sister before leaving.

The woman’s brief interruption doesn’t break the awkward tension in the room.

"Yunah-yah, say goodbye to your brother...he only has one more week here" Sehwa says, "get out" Yunah says and Sehwa gives a simple hum before leaving.

Yunah’s shoulder falls as she hands the bag to me.

"Oppa...don’t let anyone meet you without scent patch" she says without looking in my eyes.

"Why?" I ask.

"Just trust me" she says and I sigh.

Where should I begin my worries from? My scent? My being sold? My alpha who would be hating me by now? The ominous dream?

I want to fight...
