Unscented Trajectory - Chapter 48 - 48
The leader, who only found what he needed, threw his wallet at his feet. The leader, who received a small machine from one of the men on standby, connected it to the charger plug and began to operate his cell phone. The detective, who was keeping an eye on him because he didn’t know what he was doing, noticed that the object he connected was a transmission record check terminal that he had seen through the National Forensic Service.
The reader, who carefully looked through the history of photos and files sent to others, took out the terminal, disconnected the mobile phone, and took out the SIM chip. When he handed the phone and SIM card with the back open to the man next to him, he deliberately dropped the phone on the floor and raised his feet.
“Hey, hey! It’s only been two months since I bought it… … !”
Crack-!
The sound of the screen breaking stopped the detective’s words. After that, the dazed detective had to hear the sound of his precious cell phone being stepped on twice more.
The back cover was removed, rendering it completely non-recoverable. The detective, who had an angry face when he saw it, could see the charred SIM chip falling next to him.
“Ah, you people with no conscience!”
As he shouted, a few sheets of paper fell to his feet. In the dim light, he saw that it was none other than a few checks. As he opened his eyes, the men holding his arms moved away.
Just like how they came, they melted and disappeared one by one into the darkness. He felt a run down chill his spine at the thought of how much training they had been receiving. The detective shouted at the disappearing men.
“You bastards! Do you know who I am?! Huh?! I’ve been in a gang for so many years!”
When he was surrounded by the men, he couldn’t even shout properly, but only when they walked away without a word, he shouted. The men did not pay attention to the detective’s cry and disappeared completely.
“Heh, these little bastards…”
Even though he mumbled it when he was alone, he felt embarrassed.
The detective squatted down and glanced around, picking up the check without hesitation. He pick up the completely shattered cell phone, sighed, and then clicked his tongue and threw it on the floor of the road.
‘At least they didn’t notice this.’
The detective’s hand touched his ankle. A small SD card the size of a fingernail inside a sock was felt on his fingertips.
* * *
“Fuck!”
The vulgar swear words came out of their own accord.
He actually went to work, but he couldn’t get any job done and couldn’t sit still, so he just wandered around. With anxiety and irritability, he bled from biting his already sensitive lower lip.
He had no affection for his mother, who did what she wanted to by saying it was for the sake of her children. She simply wanted to drive out Lee Jungho’s former wife and take on the role herself. The only reason she wanted her children to take over Shinwoo group was because she wanted to erase the traces of the deceased Park Hyein.
‘She was pretty useful though.’
Although she had never really treated her children well, she had the same thought of getting rid of Lee Joohyuk and taking the Shinwoo group. It was a good cooperative relationship in many ways, but it was unfortunate.
Lee Haejun, who thought he was the second most useful after Ahn Seohee, also has a strange wall these days. When he rushed to kill Joohyuk, he kept his distance from Lee Haejun in order not to divulge information about his collaborator Sehyeon, but now he felt he was avoiding him. His behavior and atmosphere were the same as before, but it was still strange.
But the bigger problem than those two was Sehyeon.
– The number you are calling is not available…
He didn’t expect her to turn on him like this.
‘Did you intend to use me and throw me away from the beginning?’
That would be the right idea. He didn’t know what she talked about with her brother, but she must have completely listened to him and cut him off. In the end, his mother fell into Lee Joohyuk’s trap and ended up behind bars, so he couldn’t help but be worried.
Ahn Seohee, who was one of his shields, had been arrested, and his younger brother, Lee Haejun, couldn’t be trusted anymore, and he couldn’t even contact the greatest collaborator he trusted.
‘That fucking bitch.’
After all, seeing Ahn Seohee being cut off like that, it was as if she was saying that she was severing their ties without any problems. Come to think of it, he had a strange feeling before that.
After the day that she met her younger brother that she wanted to meet so much, she gave the excuse that she was busy no matter how much he contacted them. Then she said she would contact him first, and now this was the situation.
It was clear that something was going on. It may have been because it was a difficult situation to intrude on Lee Joohyuk, but considering the woman’s personality, it didn’t seem like she turned away because she was afraid. Then there was only one reason he could think of. She was properly caught up in the words of her younger brother, Kwon Yihyeon.
He turned around and sat down on the chair. It seemed like the soft chair was filled with thorns for some reason.
“Huu…”
Taking a deep breath, he untied his stuffy tie and threw it away.
‘Lee Joohyuk…’
Pretending to be quiet, he must have been working behind the scenes like that. Even Lee Jungho, who wanted to remain neutral, completely turned to Lee Joohyuk. The worst of the worst
Seeing that Ahn Seohee has become like that, there was no guarantee that she would be well. No, it won’t work. Although all the evidence was destroyed, there might be evidence that he was trying to kill Joohyuk. Rather, if the corruption was revealed, there would be plenty of holes through which he can escape, but his image would be shredded .
‘The ossuary will be in his hands, so there is no way to take him hostage.’
If this was the case, he would end up with nothing. If even Sehyeon was with him, he could borrow her power, but he was cut off. It was retaliation, and if he recklessly disclosed information related to her that he knew, it would be more likely that his neck would be cut off rather than being prosecuted. Even if something went wrong and he was sentenced to prison, he would be dead within a few days of being imprisoned.
‘She wouldn’t do anything to clean my track record.’
For now, only her power felt like the answer. Somehow, if they partnered up again, he would be able to survive.
Lee Sihoon, who was thinking like that, suddenly opened his eyes wide.
‘No.’
The corners of Lee Sihoon’s lips rose sharply.
‘If your younger brother is in your hand, do you think I’ll let go of him?’
He was convinced that the man that came to mind was the only way to solve his current twisted situation.
* * *
Today, there was a lot of traveling by car.
Joohyuk was still in the car from morning to early evening, as he had been inspecting construction sites three times.
He glanced to the side. He saw Yihyeon’s fixed gaze outside the window. Normally, he would have called out to him to look at him, but now he thought he shouldn’t.
He lowered his eyes and looked at his hand. Yihyeon’s hand, which was forcibly held, was seen first. His palms were rough with calluses that must have been from training, but the backs of the hands were white and soft. Maybe that was why, when he grabbed his hand, he rubbed the back of his hand with his thumb like a habit.
Starting with his hands, he shifted his gaze to his arms, to his body, and then to a face that was not looking at him.
“… What if Kwon Yihyeon seriously injured his eye? What if he not only couldn’t open his eyes, but he got so hurt that he had to wear a bandage for the rest of his life? Will you still stay with him?”
A few days ago, the question that Haejun had asked rudely did not leave his mind. So he thought about it. It was really terrifying, but he didn’t want to think about it, but when he thought about the answer, the question might stop bothering him.
“According to what hyung said, he just has eyes that resemble the person who died. So, if Kwon Yihyeon loses that eye, can you kindly throw him away?”
He quickly denied Haejun’s question.
Even after thinking about that and putting various assumptions on it, there was only one answer that came out of his mouth.
He can’t let go of Kwon Yihyeon.
The thought of abandoning Yihyeon itself did not exist in his head. No matter how much he searched through the options, the only answer that came at the end was to keep Yihyeon by his side. Through whatever way.
Since anything was fine, he had been thinking every day that it would be nice to have something that he could think of and remember his partner by. Years of blaming himself for not even remembering his partner properly. In the meantime, the eyes that resembled his mate were like rain on a parched land.
He was obsessed with the eyes of his mate and obsessed with the person with those eyes. He believed so.
But could he say that he wasn’t obsessed with him until he realized it? Just because it allowed him to taste the climax of sex that was never possible before, would that make him so obsessed with it?
For the past few days, he was doing to Yihyeon what he wanted to do to his partner. He bought expensive clothes that seemed to fit well, put them on, and brought expensive watches and good things for them. He only took him to a restaurant that gave him a satisfying taste, and at home, he spent time with him in the room he had given him, and then fell asleep.
It was the ultimate self-satisfaction. On the other hand, he also felt strange.
Guilt.
It was a feeling he hadn’t felt in a long time. It was so weak that it took him a long time to recognize it, but it was definitely one of the emotions that touched his heart.
But he wasn’t quite sure what the guilt was for.
That he was gradually giving way to someone who was not his partner. Or treating others as substitutes for self-satisfaction. Which of the two
He thought maybe it could be both.
After the talk with Haejun, he couldn’t even touch Yihyeon prematurely because of a strange sense of guilt. He still dragged him around, but he didn’t say anything, and he didn’t forcefully mix his body because he knew that when he talked about sex, he felt calm even though he seemed okay on the outside. So, unfortunately, almost all traces left on his body were disappearing. At this time, he thought about what to do when his rut came. Will he be able to stand it then?
‘Rut…’
Saying that, it was strange. The time for his rut to come has long passed. Although it was an unusual rut, it was the last time Yihyeon and he had sex, so even if there was a difference of a few days, it should have come at least a week ago.
He thought that he should go to the hospital sooner or later. There are times like this when an Alpha’s rut cycle changed, even though he was not a recessive. But it was not like he was mixing his body with an omega that was in heat, and their cycle was aligned with each other.
He was stunned for a moment.
He had a really crazy thought. He thought that Kwon Yihyeon might be an Omega.
‘That can’t be true.’
Kwon Yihyeon was an Omega, it was really absurd.
He was the closest to an Alpha than anyone else, and he was in rut several times in front of him. He never heard of an Omega who is so carefree in front of an Alpha on rut.
Even if he took an inhibitor, he would not be free from an Alpha’s pheromone, and Omega’s love juice would be mixed with pheromone, although faint. He didn’t even think to check it out while having sex with Yihyeon, but if he was an Omega, he should have had a unique sweet smell from the liquid that would have been mixed with semen or gel.
Above all else, if he were an Omega, his body would not be able to respond to him.
If Yihyeon was an Omega, he thought it would be better to engrave him and tie him up. If he did not want to lose his mind because the imprint was forcibly removed, he would have no choice but to obey him.
But it was an idea he had because he knew it was impossible to any extent.
Kwon Yihyeon was a beta.
As soon as he was sure, something unknown hit his conscience. His eyes frowned at the strange feeling.
At that moment, the phone rang as if to cut off Joohyuk’s thoughts.
-Hyung, I got the recording.
It was nice to hear that. The corners of Joohyuk’s lips rose nicely.
“Prepare right away. Tomorrow…!”
Joohyuk was unable to finish his words. The car shook violently with the voice of the bewildered driver. He reflexively pulled Yihyeon sitting next to him. The seat belts around each other’s shoulders made a rattling sound, but Joohyuk didn’t care and held him in his arms.
Joohyuk raised his head and stopped breathing as he looked at the black car rushing towards the driver.
“Ahh1!”
The driver’s terrified screams were heard, followed by a bang. His ears went deaf with the great shock that shook his body.
The front of the car hit a corner, and after turning twice, it crashed into a guard rail. The windshield was smashed in half, and the driver’s seat was smashed, even the window was smashed. If it wasn’t for the airbag, the driver’s body would have been crushed as well.
As soon as the car came to a complete stop, Joohyuk opened his tightly closed eyes. He wasn’t seriously injured thanks to the airbag, but his whole body was throbbing. He thought the side of his head was also tingling, and something hot ran down his cheeks. Even without touching it, it was easy to tell that it was blood.
But there was no time to worry about that.
He hurriedly looked at Yihyeon, who was in his arms. Thinking that he might have bumped into him, he glanced at him, who seemed a little surprised. He asked worriedly, covering his face with both hands and examining his complexion.
“Are you okay?”
His heart was burning, but nothing came out of Yihyeon’s mouth. He roughly loosened his seat belt, which was loosely wound around him as if holding and controlling his body. Yihyeon’s seatbelt was also forcibly released and he pulled him tight and hugged him. He felt his body twitch, but he didn’t push him away as he had always done.
Thinking that he must have been surprised by the sudden accident, he gently stroked the back of his head while holding him in his arms. Still, his eyes were busy looking around.
Men in black suits started to get out of the car that they collided with intently. The guard cars that followed were also in a similar situation to Joohyuk’s car. Cars passing through the opposite lane deliberately collided with the security cars behind them and stopped them. The bodyguards were hesitant as they engaged in a rough fight with the intruders pouring out of the car they collided with.
As the road was not completely empty, the cars passing by were startled by this sudden situation, and each stopped their car and called somewhere. Some of them even took pictures with their cell phones.
Was this Lee Sihoon’s last move? He was going all out.
Even if he didn’t think about it, he thought it wasn’t too bad. Even if it was an uninhabited national road or a quiet alley at night, it seemed like it was urgent enough to make a fuss on an open road in the early evening like this. It seems like he wanted to kill himself.
“Executive Director, I’ll go out… .”
“Stay still.”
His mind raced while hugging Yihyeon, who was about to get out of his arms, even tighter.
He’d like to take out a gun, but if he shoots in a crowded place like this, it would only bring trouble. This may be the reason why Lee Sihoon did not give guns to the assailants in such a hurry.
-Hyung! What’s going on?!
Haejun’s voice was faintly heard. Joohyuk picked up the cell phone that was lying at his feet, picked it up and spoke quickly.
“I cannot wait until tomorrow. Gather the evidence and throw him away. Quickly.”
-What?
“I want you to catch that bastard Lee Sihoon right now and throw him in.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone. At that moment, the door in the direction where Joohyuk was riding burst open from the outside. As if waiting, he threw a strong kick to the assailant, knocked him down, and took Yihyeon outside. He hid him behind his back and clung to the guardrail. As if they were waiting, the monsters watched them and gradually drew closer.
Joohyuk glared at the monsters and roughly wiped the blood dripping from his face with one hand.
;’Something is strange.’
The number of men who surrounded and attacked this car was six, but they had nothing in their hands. He glanced towards the bodyguard, and each of them had a dangerous weapon on them. What they really wanted was his life, but it was strange that they were confronting them without holding anything in their hands. In addition, he thought that what they were aiming for was not him. At the end of the eyes of some of the terrorists was Yihyeon, who was covered by his body.
‘No way…’
As he was thinking about it, he started hearing some exhaust sounds one after another at the end. A man was drawn in Joohyuk’s mind to the sound of the motorcycle exhaust getting clearer. As if his prediction was correct, the familiar alpha pheromone grew closer and closer.
“Woah-!”
“What, this bas… … ! Agh!”
The motorcycles that suddenly appeared went not only toward Joohyuk’s location, but also toward the other bodyguards. They pulled out the black wooden sword they were carrying on their backs and cleared them away one by one as if they were trampling on them. The black-necked swordsman had great basic skills, but the ability to drive a motorcycle freely with one hand and aim for the key point was truly astonishing.
“Ack!”
A man who was about to rush towards Joohyuk was hit by a black wooden sword and he fell to the floor. The desperate men rushed to Joohyuk as if ignoring the riders, and he tried to counterattack in a terrifying way to block their attack by moving his tense body.
It was obviously intentional. As soon as Joohyuk confronted and defeated one of the assailants, one of the assailants passed him and reached out to Yihyeon. Yihyeon grabbed his wrist and tried to reach out his other hand with the intention of grabbing his hand and breaking it.
