Chapter 50

Dragon bride

After being detained, Jaejoong found himself locked up in a room with nothing but a bed. The wall was painted white and there is a TV hanging on the wall. From the looks of the glass, it is thick and most likely made to be unbreakable. Even though the room was totally not his taste, at least his captor was nice enough to give him a big window to see the beautiful scenery of the ocean. Most people in his position will probably be frighten but he was calm and well collected. He stood by the large window watching as the soft wave’s splashes against the large rocks nearby and hear the sound of the water singing. At this time the sun has already fully risen in the horizon and there is still no sign of any rescue attempt. Not like he was expecting one…or more like he pray they don’t come to where he is.

**Flash back**

Jaejoong stood up and dust his pants of the cool sands before turning his full attention to the old man sitting on the wheelchair, pale and sickly. A woman stood at his side holding onto an IV stand, most likely his care taker.

“I heard you were in a coma...I didn’t expect you to wake up so soon” said jaejoong with a smile

The old man smile widely upon seeing jaejoong standing before him, the very same dragon bride he desired but escaped from his hand.

“It’s nice to see you again Jaejoong shhi…” he spoke gently and politely that made jaejoong feels sick “it’s good to see that you are still well and alive…”

“Does changmin know? That his beloved grandfather has awoken from his slumber?”

“He will know soon enough…”

“It’s a little disappointing that the grandfather he loved so much woke up and the first thing the grandfather does is kidnap his best friend…if he learn of such cruel act…he will surely be heartbroken”

The grandfather only smiled unaffected by those words “At this point it no longer matters what he thinks…What I am doing is for the best of the Shim family…it’s also for his own good if I got rid of such distraction in his life that will lead him astray…”

“You make it sound like I’m such a bad influence…”

“Are you not?”

Jaejoong paused and return the smile “maybe I am…but…he seems to enjoy it more than your influence…that’s for sure”

The grandfather’s face change slightly but he quickly regains his composed expression “Honestly…I thought that boy will make me proud…I thought for sure whatever I had taught him…he will use it to lead the family in the case I am no longer here…” he shook his head “…to think he did the exact opposite…only because you exist….that boy need to know his place, where he stands in all of this…understand the responsibility that lies upon his shoulder…I had always taught him that he can’t be influence by his emotion or become attached to another human being…this will only become his weakness…but he didn’t listen to my warning”

“I thought you treasure and care for him more than his own parent…you raised him from as child to and adult…how is it that you can do this to him…?”

“he has talents…he is smart and very capable…but weak at heart…he is too kind…too hesitant to go beyond what he needed to do…too much of a coward to accomplish what our ancestors want to achieved….too naïve…too young…he wasn’t ready to take the lead…but rather he choose to hunt you alongside me or not…it will not change the fact that he is still the heir to the Shim family blood line….that will never change…but what will change is that I am going to cut the bond between you two….make him see that what he really need is family…not some outsider…”

“You are setting him up to choose between family or friend”

“Everyone has to make a difficult choice once or twice in their life…all of this will make him stronger both mentally and physically…”

“Or drive him off a cliff…” said Jaejoong

The grandfather sat there and did not respond, he waves his hand as a few people approaches “You will be coming with me…I advise you not to struggle, otherwise…I can’t guarantee you will not lose a leg or arm…”

Another man came up to the grandfather and stood behind the wheelchair before taking its handles and turning the chair around

“As much as I want to rip out your heart…we must wait for the arrival of the blue dragon…once he arrives…the main festivities will begin…”

Jaejoong didn’t say anything but dragged toward a large house near the beach side. There were a lot of people standing guard and he senses a hint of enchantments around the premises.

“You want Yunho to come…but yet you hide the existence of this place under a transparent shield…will he even be able to track me here like you wanted?”

The old man paused and turn to smile at jaejoong “I never said that he will come alone…”

Upon these words, the image of Boa flashed before his eyes and this made him extremely irritated.

***End of flash back***

“They are using me as bait to lure Yunho here...” thought jaejoong as he turn his attention to the ocean “there is no doubt about it…what they hope to accomplish is right here…”

While he was still deep in thoughts, the door open and someone came into the room carrying a tray of breakfast before setting it down onto the table. Jaejoong turn to look at this person and couldn’t help but smirked

“If it isn’t ByungChul…I never dreamed that you will bring me a tray of food along with hot tea like an obedient servant….this is quite the interesting turn of event….”

Byungchul only smiled at Jaejoong’s remarks “You should enjoy it while it last…I can promise you that by the end of today…you will be lying on a table with your heart ripped out and devoured while your precious blue dragon watches helplessly…or maybe the one ripping out your heart might just be done by him instead”

Jaejoong didn’t say anything as he glares at Byungchul who clearly ignored him and pour some tea into a cup

“You should drink it while it is hot…it wouldn’t be good drinking it cold…” he smiled

“This is your doing isn’t it? You brought the old man back from the dead to do the job you couldn’t do…you are basically using him to obtain what you want…”

Byungchul turn to face him “What I want is for the family to rise higher than ever…I would rather follow a leader like him then to bow my head to the young master who is far too emotionally involve…”

“Everything will not go as you hope it will…as long as I am alive…your evil plan will not succeed...”

“Then...we will just have to make sure that you die before our real plan is put into action…don’t we? It’s not like we needed you afterward…”

“You make it seem like it’ll be something easy to do...”

“It will be once the Blue dragon comes to our side…when that happens…there won’t be anything…or anyone left to protect you…to prevent us...no scratch that…to prevent me from devouring your heart” Byungchul grinned

With that being said, Byungchul exited the room and closed the door as the sound of the lock being put back in place is heard soon after. Silence once again filled the room as jaejoong turn his attention back to the ocean before him with a troubled expression.

***flash back***

“Apocalypse?”

“A resurrection of dragons….a dark age….a reverting of time and space…” said ShinHye

“What does that have to do with me or Yunho?”

Soon jae lower his gaze and turn toward jaejoong with a serious expression “Yunho will have to rise to take his role as the new king but he can only ascend his throne if you can save him from the darkness that will take him…if you can’t…he will rise as a new dark king and become the key to the destruction…this future, dragon bride….depends on your strength and courage to protect the dragon whose heart you shared…”

“I’m still not following you…are you telling me that Yunho will turn evil?”

“That is a possibility…”

“I don’t believe you!” snap jaejoong

“Water dragons have ability that none has…they are able to open gate way of space and time…Yunho is the last of the water dragon…the only one left who have that ability…in other words…he become a key to open the past and unleash before this world its ultimate destruction…” said Soonjae

***End of flash back***

The ocean that he had come to admired quickly become something distasteful, it made him feel uneasy not of his past fear but from the possible outcome that was foretold to him by Soonjae. All the events that had taken place, all the strange action from Yunho were basically following what Soonjae had told him. He can’t help but worried about Yunho, wondering…doubting rather he will be able to save him…save this world that he hated but at the same time had come to love. Will this strength he is so proud of be enough to protect that is dear to him or will the weakness inside him become a burden? If what he is told came true and he ends up having to face Yunho, will he even be able to lift his fist or will he be too hesitant and cause more harm than good? He looks down at his hand and for the first time he realized how small and fragile his hand looked. Before it was full of strength, full of power…it has no fear of whom it struck and yet right at this moment…his hand looked normal…a hand that has gotten used to being protected.

He clenches his fist tightly “Jaejoong ah…jaejoong ah…what has become of you? you use to be confident…you use to be strong and never rely on others…so why…why at the thought of someone leaving your side…no longer protecting you…is making you feel so weak and fearful…”

He placed his hand on his chest, felt his heart beat and the symbol engraved onto his flesh. Both of these were given to him by Yunho…this life was granted to him by Yunho…the life risking protection is by Yunho….everything he experienced…people he meet…friends he gain…all of it was because of Yunho. Upon this thought, jaejoong paused as if he is starting to understand something…something that was there but he never knew what it is.

***Flash back***

Changmin took a deep breath “Did you….end up…falling in love?”

***end of flash back***

When that question was asked, he never really did answer changmin because he wasn’t sure. But now that he thinks about it again, he felt like he could answer it. It’s an unbelievable answer that he came to but none the less, it’s not like he dislike it. Upon this thought, Jaejoong’s had a defeated look on his face as his lip curved into a helpless smile. Looking at the ocean, he never in his life missed someone so much, wanting to see that person…wanting to touch that person…wanting to protect that person.

“Looks like I have really fallen…fallen right out of the straight path…” he smirked

Ever since Jaejoong was taken, Yunho has been searching for him for hours but was not able to find him anywhere. The presence of his bride could not be felt, the bond that they have connecting to one another had disappeared. The more time passed without a trace of him, the more concern Yunho becomes. He knows jaejoong is still alive but as to where he is being kept, no one seems to know. He had questioned the hunters that worked for MinSeok but even they were clueless as to where the dragon bride was taken. He had even searched for Boa considering that she and Jaejoong were together and disappeared together, but even finding her was fruitless.

He stood on the rooftop of a business building that stood tall overlooking the chaos of Minseok’s house. The damages were still there…all the bodies however has been removed as the place is seized by the authorities. Because of the sudden appearance of dragons and people with strange powers, the entire area was evacuated and blocked off for miles. No one is allow into this part of the city, only authorities could come in to continue their investigation. Yunho stood there in silence as the wind blew around him causing his hair and clothes to flatter along with the wind. There was nothing but silence in the air due to the area becoming deserted. The expression on his face was that of a desperate man, searching endlessly for his love one as if time is of an essence.

***flash back***

“Junsu is also here and he is in trouble…me and changmin is going to go find him…will you be okay?” jaejoong asked

***End of flash back***

These were the last words Yunho heard from jaejoong, and that warm parting smile was the last time he saw it before jaejoong disappeared. Thinking back on it, Yunho couldn’t help but be angry…angry at himself for allowing his bride to walk away from his side…angry at himself that he wasn’t forceful and force jaejoong to stay where he could see him…angry at himself for thinking that others could protect him…angry at himself for not listening to that feeling of danger swelling up inside him. If he had ran to where jaejoong was, this situation wouldn’t have been possible.

“Yunho…” came Yoochun’s voice as he descended from the sky and landed behind the distressed blue dragon

“Did you find any clue?” Yunho asked without even turning to face him

Yoochun sigh and shook his head “it’s as if he had disappeared from this world…”

“No…he is still here…I know it…they are hiding him…hiding all traces of him so we can’t track him…”

“Jaejoong being taken isn’t the only problem we have…MinSeok had disappeared along with the white dragon scale…I have seen its power…I have sense its danger…I had some of its negative energy crawled inside me…it’s something that shouldn’t have existed…something a human like him shouldn’t have….”

Yunho didn’t say anything but only continue to gaze down below

“Yunho…I understand how much you want to find him…but please don’t disregard the problem of the dragon scale…it is as important to get rid of it as it is to find jaejoong…”

“I know…”

His short reply caused Yoochun to stress rather this blue dragon really to know “What should we do now?”

Yunho didn’t say anything as he gaze down to the people below as the wind blew pass him. After a moment of silence, Yunho finally spoke narrowing his brows “Get an answer directly from the source…”

Changmin sat by his desk as people comes and goes in the office room. It is filled with all sorts of paper works as his finger press the replay button over and over again on a video inside his laptop. Every time he sees it, his expression become more distorted. When he got the phone call earlier, he didn’t believe it until this video was delivered to him. It was a video of Byungchul and two other man taking his grandfather from the hospital room without the staff even knowing. The guy was even brave enough to look directly at the camera and smiled as if to taunt him knowing that he will watch the clip. Not only did Jaejoong got taken right under his nose, even his grandfather…an old man in a coma was also taken without his knowledge. The more he thinks about it, the more upset he becomes, blaming himself for not being able to protect anyone.

“What is the use of this dragon scale if I can’t even use it to protect people!” changmin thought angrily wanting to forcefully rip out the scale in his chest.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm his nerves when suddenly loud screams could be heard coming out side. Minjun opens the door in a hurry and came in informing him of their unexpected guests.

Yoochun wasn’t exactly sure what Yunho meant by going directly to the source until they arrived at the Shim’s main house. They weren’t even being discreet about it but instead storm right into the place taking on any hunters that approached them. It was more like Yunho went on a rampage while Yoochun stay back completely in shock and embarrassment, unable to do anything. Yunho was clearly not acting like himself, Yoochun had seen his bad temper before…he had seen Yunho loose his patient in the past but this time it was way worst. The increased aggression, the violent temper the coldness of his eyes and voice made Yoochun hesitate to stand in this man’s way. The front yard eventually became a battle ground, bodies laid throughout the green grass rather they are unconscious or dead is hard to tell.

“Stop!” Changmin’s voice ring in the air as the remaining hunters obey and steps back

Changmin stood on top of the stone stair case glaring down to the commotion below. MinJun stood at his side along with Junsu and other hunters. His gaze meet Yunho’s and he felt a chill ran down his spine. Those cold eyes staring at him, glowing such a dark shade of gold was numbing his body. It took a moment for him to compose himself and find the voice to speak

“I know what you are here for…and I’ll say the exact same thing as I had said earlier…I do not know where jaejoong was taken…if I do, I wouldn’t be here stressing…I would have gone directly to that place and save him”

Yunho glares at him as the air surrounding them became tenser. It was as if the oxygen around them had disappeared making it hard to breathe properly. Everyone could feel a freezing wind touching their skin like knives slicing them.

“You can kill as many as you want…you can even kill me but it will not help you find jaejoong” stated changmin “If you want to find him…we will have to work together…I am as concern about him as you are”

“I don’t need your help! I trusted you to protect him and yet he was so easily taken away…” Yunho frowned with anger

These words were like knives striking Changmin where it hurts most. He can’t refute these words nor could he blame anyone else. All of this was his fault… an incompetent fool…too jealous of their bond that he took that one opportunity to separate them…using Junsu as an excuse. He spoke of wanting to protect jaejoong but at the end, jaejoong was taken away without him even realizing it.

“You know my status….” Changmin spoke “I am the head of the shim family…the head of the dragon hunters…whatever movement is made among my group …I will know and I will find them…trust me…I will find jaejoong if it’s the last thing I do”

“I don’t believe you!” Yunho snapped “I never believed you from the start…dragon hunters are nothing but shameless human who are greedy for power…for fame…for fortunes…caring little of others…caring little for the innocence…you kill without moral…you kill without sympathy….you kill…shed dragon blood like a source of entertainment! You are a selfish, cold hearted race that lies, use deception and steal… your kind should be wipe out completely if peace were to be obtained!”

His words were cold and sharp taking Yoochun by surprise, he had never seen Yunho speak with so much hate before. In the past when his mother was killed, when his people was killed by dragon hunters, he never spoke of such hateful words toward the human race. And now, he speak these words as if it’s natural. There was a silent pause among them as everyone stares at Yunho with fright in their eyes.

“Yunho…you are frustrated and stress…but please remain calm and listen to him” Yoochun spoke to break the silence and hopefully ease the tension “The people who took him are his family…if we can’t track him…only he can…as much as you don’t like it…it’s the only option we have left if you want to find jaejoong”

“Are you taking his side?!” Yunho glared at him

“What side? It’s either our side or their side and clearly we are not on that side....things are getting more out of hand…we have to remain calm and work together…”

“Yunho…please…if you want to blame someone…you can blame me…” Junsu steps forward to speak “I was careless…if I haven’t been captured…jaejoong wouldn’t have come to help look for me and this wouldn’t have happen….I will shoulder all the blames…”

Yunho turn his attention from changmin to Yoochun and then to Junsu. All three of them were looking at him with such guilt that he couldn’t say anything. He only clenches his fist in rage as the expression on his face becomes darker. He disappeared from where he was standing and reappear right in front of changmin taking him by surprise. Before changmin could defend himself, Yunho had already grab him by the shirt and slams him hard against the wall behind him. Changmin let out a painful groan as Minjun attempted to help but he gestured for him to stand down.

“If you don’t find him within the next 24 hours…I will kill every one of your family…wiping out your entire blood line, leaving no one to continue the generation”

With that being said, Yunho released him and flew into the sky

“Yunho! Where are you going?!” Yoochun shouted after him but he didn’t answer and went further away

Yoochun wanted to chase after him but a voice inside him warns him not to chase or hell will break loose. He let out a deep sigh before turning toward Junsu and the others “Sorry…”

“It’s not for you to apologize…the one who needs to apologize is us…this is our family’s doing…as much as we disagree…this kind of outcome has been deeply rooted into our blood…for centuries our family had hunted dragons…killing their brides…just to obtain immortality…this sin…is for us to bare” said Junsu with a sadden expression on his face

Changmin listened to him and clenches his fist tightly “I’ll end it…I’ll make sure this ends forever…this root…this tradition…everything that this family had built their foundation on…I’ll crush it all”

He turns and went back inside as Minjun quickly followed after him. Junsu stay behind as Yoochun came to his side. They both exchange worrisome expression not knowing what will become of Changmin who is scrambling to find MinSeok, jaejoong and his grandfather wasting no time to eat...no time to sleep. There is also Yunho who have not rested after such a fight…looking paler and paler by the hours…acting stranger…completely disregarding everyone like a man who is going to lose his sanity. At this point, these two people will break before they even find jaejoong.

“What are we going to do about these two?” sigh Junsu “I am as worried as they are…but I am still able to remain calm and think…while these two are going crazy…I tried to get changmin to rest…to even eat but he refuses…ever since he came home earlier he had locked himself in the study using everything he can to find MinSeok’s whereabouts….”

“Yunho isn’t making it easy either…but…this shows that jaejoong has two people who really cares a lot about him…and really loves him….it kind of make you envy him a little…” said Yoochun

Junsu turn to him and see the strange expression on his face, the kind of expression that tells how he want someone to care for him…to love him the same way. Junsu reached out and wanted to touch Yoochun but then he remembers what Boa had said to him about his appearances as he froze and retreated his hand. No matter what he felt…no matter how he wants Yoochun to look at him…it is not him he is looking at but rather the lover he lost who bears the same appearances.

“I’ll go check on changmin…” said Junsu as he dashed away before Yoochun could even say a word.

The fire dragon is left abandon on the stair way a bit confuse as to why Junsu suddenly acted so strange. He look at the house in front of him and then to the direction Yunho had disappeared to. In all of his life…he had never felted so exhausted.

Changmin sat in front of the desk full of papers and laptop. He had reviewed all the footages nearby to find MinSeok but none of the footage shows anything of value. He had sent out multiple hunters into the city to find him but none came back with any clues. He had went as far as to detain anyone relating to MinSeok for questioning, but even that proves to be useless.

“You need to rest Young master” Minjun spoke as he pour a cup of tea to Changmin

“I can’t rest…it was my fault jaejoong got taken…it’s my responsibility to find him no matter what”

“It isn’t your fault…if anything… it should be me…I was the one who blocked the attack and instead filled the room with smokes giving the enemy a chance to take him…”

Changmin paused as he look at Minjun remembering the fire that came into the room to block Boa’s attack. He had been so busy that he had forgotten about this matter, about how Minjun came to possess two dragon scales.

“Minjun…your fire scale…where did you get it?” changmin asked “If I recall…dragon hunter is only gifted with one dragon scale…and the one given to you was earth wasn’t it?”

MinJun stop pouring the tea and seem to hesitate a little before pouring the tea again and handed the cup to changmin “The fire dragon scale…was my father…”

This surprised Changmin “Why would he give his to you? Don’t he need it?”

Minjun smile filled with sadness “a dead man no longer have any use for a dragon scale…”

Changmin became quiet as he lower his head “I’m…sorry…”

“No need…he passed away long ago when I was still very young…

“A dragon scale granted to a dragon hunter is like a badge of honor…it represent a person’s soul and their life…a single scale only follows a single owner…but the dragon scale your father gave you…it also sees you as an owner…this is the first time I had seen anything like this…” said changmin

MinJun didn’t say anything for a while as if he is reminiscing his past “The dragon scale was never used by my father…he was a strong and a courageous man…even though he was granted with such power…he never once rely on it…nor do he have a need to because during his time…there was no dragon to fight…no bride to hunt…it was more of a accessories than anything else….So he gave it to me…as a keepsake….”

Changmin made an expression as if everything finally make sense. It’s not like the fire scale chose a second owner but it was never made to realize it’s first. MinJun was basically its first owner because his father never really activated it.

“To be honest…today was the first time I had use it…I really didn’t think it will work”

“Well…it save your life and mine as well…so I am thankful your father gave you his scale…” said changmin as he smiled “but…I have to admit it…you are the first dragon hunter to be able to endure two very opposite dragon energies…most would have been driven crazy”

“Well…I have always been good at enduring…”

Changmin who was tense earlier seem to have calmed down and became more relaxed after talking to Minjun. He leans back against his chair and took a deep breath before releasing it into the air

“How is your wound?” he asked

“It’s better now…he missed the vital organs”

“I can’t believe you didn’t feel any pain”

MinJun looks at Changmin a little surprise “I didn’t tell you? I have con analgesia…I can’t feel pain”

Changmin blinked at him once and twice in complete shock, speechless for words. A man who is strong, able to endure two dragon scale and feel no pain is the ideal dragon hunter or killer. Changmin can’t help but be grateful that this hunter chose to be loyal instead of an enemy.

Being lock up in the room, there wasn’t much that can keep jaejoong occupied. He was bored out of his mind. He tried flipping through the channels on the TV to find something to watch but couldn’t find anything interesting at all. Just when he thought he will die of boredom, the door clicks open as someone enters the room. This person was a young teenage boy at the age of 14 dressed in a hunter’s uniform carrying a tray of delicious snacks. The young boy placed the tray on the nearby table and pour a cup of tea. Jaejoong didn’t say a word and only watches his movements and soon realized that this boy have yet to look at him as if he is invisible.

“Hey you…” jaejoong called out to him, his voice wasn’t even loud but it still startled the young boy

The teenager didn’t even look at jaejoong nor did he speak. He looked like the timid and shy type who isn’t good at socializing. Upon jaejoong trying to talk to him, he quickly rushed toward the door to leave after completing his assigned task. Jaejoong however, was much faster as he got to the door before the young boy did and smiled

“Aren’t you too young to be a hunter? The way you look and act isn’t someone who can handle a fight or even be able to hurt someone”

The timid boy took a step back still not looking up at him. Jaejoong examine him from head to toe, walking around him like a predator watching his pray making him uncomfortable

“Don’t tell me that dragon hunters are trained at such a young age…?”

“W-we are trained as soon as we are able to understand and walk…” the boy spoke

Jaejoong was surprised “isn’t that a bit too much…children should just be children…”

“We…we are not children…we…we…we are…h-hunters…” the boy spoke loudly but his voice quickly faded out

Jaejoong sigh deeply “yes…yes…hunters…but even so…turning a child who just learn to walk into a dragon hunter is just plain wrong…you should be enjoying your youth…getting dirty…making friends…causing all sorts of trouble...maybe burn a few things…hurt a few people…shed a few blood…break a few teeth and bones…trash a few cars…vandalize a few properties….steal a few things…”

The young teenager stood there in shock as jaejoong listed all kind of things children should do which in his opinion are things criminal would do. He wanted to say something but couldn’t find his voice to speak up when suddenly a snack is shoved toward him. He quickly looks up and saw jaejoong’s face before quickly lowering his head once more blushing and shook his head refusing the offer

“You…why aren’t you looking at me?”

“You…You are a dragon bride…also…also a beautiful person…I was told not to look at your face…not to stare into your eyes… only focus on my assigned task”

“Why is that?”

“You…you will seduce us, control our mind into helping you escape…”

Jaejoong stood there dumbfounded before bursting into loud laughter “who the hell came up with that kind of crap!…why would I want to waste my time seducing little children…if I had that kind of power…I would have left long ago”

The teenager’s face grew a little red out of embarrassment before attempting to leave again but jaejoong blocked his way and smirked “I’m bored being lock up in here…why don’t you stay and keep me entertain little one…”

His smile was so frightening that the young teenager shivered like a sheep in the face of a bad wolf. Jaejoong can’t help but find his reaction to be quite adorable. The thought of messing with such a person only excited jaejoong even more as he leans down toward the boy and steps closer toward him making him shiver even more. For sure this type of person can be easily influenced and become useful.

“There is something I want you to help me with…if you don’t…I'll just beat you into agreeing... I may not have seduction power but...I do have these two fists that packs more punches then anyone else...I can guarantee it will hurt...ALOT” he spoke with a grin

The teenager shiveres more looking into those craze eyes and nodded his head not wanting to feel pain

“Good… I need you to find out something for me…”

Yunho returned to Jaejoong’s apartment, it was empty and quiet. The person he wanted to greet him was no longer here adding onto his stress level. It had already been half a day and there was still no sign of him anywhere. Yunho walked down the hallway and entered Jaejoong’s bedroom and saw Boa sitting on the bed enjoying a book leisurely. Immediately his eyes glows brightly as he summoned water, floating around him to attack her. But just as he was about to make a move, she spoke first

“About time you came here…” she said calmly causing Yunho to stop “I have been waiting the whole day…wondering if you will ever show up”

“Where is he?” Yunho asked trying to control his inner rage

Boa put the book down and look at Yunho staring into those cool fury eyes staring back at her wanting to strangle her.

“He is doing fine…you don’t need to worry too much…” she spoke ignoring his question “the guy is as lively as always…the fact that he isn’t even resisting or trying to escape makes one raise some questions…but he is eating fine…enjoying his captivity very well…”

Yunho clenches his fist tightly “WHERE IS HE?!”

A powerful gust of wind blew as his loud voice surprised her a bit but none the less she got off the bed and took a step forward “Do you really want to know? If I tell you…will you really go to him even though there might be a trap waiting for you?”

“Rather it’s a trap or death waiting for me…I’ll still go!”

Boa only looks at Yunho with admiration “risking everything…including your own life for a mere human…you have indeed really changed…”

“That human you speak of is my bride!”

This irritated Boa as she felt a sharp pain in her heart as if it is being squeezed over and over again “what about me? What am I to you?”

“You were someone whom I valued as friend…”

“And now?”

Yunho paused for a moment before lowering his gaze “now I’m not so sure…”

Boa took a few more steps closer to Yunho “After everything I did…you really don’t hate me?”

“At first I didn’t…I…felt like what happen was because of me…but….”

Boa smiled as she walks even closer to Yunho until they stood just a few inches away from each other

“Yunho…I was wrong…I have really wronged you…I regret everything that I have done in the past…even now…I continue to make the same mistakes over and over again…but now…now I have learn from what I did…I have come to repent as you wished…I have come to make things right…”

“If you want to make things right then bring me to jaejoong…”

Boa shook her head “if I do…you will be kill…I can’t lose you…”

She reached out and hugged Yunho tightly “I really…missed you…even now…I still love you very much”

Yunho was speechless for words uncertain of what to do. Suddenly an image of jaejoong flashed before his eyes as he forcefully pushed her away before reaching out and grab hold of her neck pushing her onto the bed pinning her down. He applied strength onto his grip as she groaned painfully gasping for air. He glared at her with darkness in his eyes as it glows a darker shade of gold

“WHERE IS HE?!” he shouted

Boa tried to breath but her airway was being restricted. Even in this situation, she still mastered a smile

“If you kill me…you will never find him…there is an enchantment around the place he is being held…” she gasped painfully and pants “…it will hide his presence forever…you…you will…never track him…your bride….will never be return to you….”

Yunho became even angrier as he tightens his grip even more with the thought of snapping her neck, killing her instantly. Boa gasped more like a fish out of water. The pain was traveling throughout her body making it numb as her vision started to become blurry. She thought for sure he will kill her but then he released her and walk away. He turn his back to her and headed toward the door

“Boa…this is the last time I will show you any mercy considering that we were once friends…when my mother passed away…it was you who took care of me and helped my father…with you being there…it helped heal our hearts…made us happy again…because of the kindness you had shown us…even after everything you had done…I still don’t blame you but this time, I won’t forgive you…the next time I see you...I will not hesitate to kill you” he glared at her with so much disgust…so much hate that Boa felt her body turn numb.

He took a step forward when Boa spoke “you really like him don’t you?”

Yunho paused before answering “I don’t like him…” he turn to face her with a serious look on his face “I love him…I am obsessed with him…everything of his is mine and anyone who dare to touch him or take him will suffer a great deal of pain…even death will not be enough…I’ll make sure even their soul will not crossover”

His eyes was serious, cold and sharp…it was piercing and dark that Boa was speechless. What is standing in front of her is no longer the Yunho she knows but a mad man who will kill all for love.

She gripped the bed sheets tightly before speaking “are you willing to do anything to find him?”

“Yes…”

“Then I’ll take you to him…but only if you kiss me first…for the next 5 minutes…do not think of him…do not think of anyone…only look at me…only pay attention to me…even if it’s a lie…love me”

Jaejoong was in the room messing around with the young teenager when he suddenly has a strange feeling inside him. It was overwhelming that he couldn't explain it but it made him extremely uneasy. The only thing that came to his mind was Yunho. He turn his attention to the window with a concern look on his face wondering what had happen.

"What's wrong?" The teenager asked

It took jaejoong a few minutes to respond "nothing..."

"I hope it's nothing..." he thought to himself
