Seungcheol looked at the empty chair in front of him, sighing before glancing at his watch. It was already 20 minutes pass the agreed time and yet, there was no sign of the female omega. There were not even any messages which explains her lateness, nor any notification. Well, what did he expect anyways? She was always like this, never caring about other people’s time except herself.

 

The vibration of his phone could be felt and the alpha looked over to see a message from his beloved, asking him whether it was over. He scoffed to himself, noting that it should have, had Woo Ri been punctual. Replying the truth to Jeonghan, he waited for a few second to see the man’s reply and put it back down, now feeling agitated. Seungcheol saw that his coffee was already half empty, and contemplated on whether to buy a new one since he did not plan on drinking in the first place. But he had nothing to do here except drink or play games on his phone, and he was not in the mood to do the latter.

 

Yes, he should buy a new one.

 

Just as the waiter came to take his order, Woo Ri appeared, her smile wide as if she had nothing to be apologetic for. She greeted him as she should, and without even looking at the menu, ordered a typical iced milk tea. It was as if she knew that they would not be here long.

 

‘You’re late.’ Seungcheol stated, just because. No, he was not angry, but he just wanted to put it out there that he did not like this character of hers. Now that they have nothing to do with each other, he figured he was allowed to say that, which did not even make up for all the time he wasted waiting for her all these years. Without even a sliver of guilt, she answered, ‘fashionably late.’

 

The alpha sighed, not amused. If she had told him she was nearby, he wouldn’t have ordered another coffee. This was really annoying. Thank god he had no plan to stay. Seungcheol glanced at the omega, only now noticing the expensive clothing and handbag she had with her. It was not really his business but Woo Ri’s family is just like his own, they can’t afford that kind of luxurious items. Which meant, she either has a really good-paying part-time job, or someone who paid for them. Whatever it was, it rationalized what he was going to ask her.

 

‘So, how was your new year?’ Woo Ri asked him, as if she didn’t see the stories he posted a few days ago. She even commented on it, acting like the incident on Christmas day never happened. Or maybe, this was just her way of a small talk. Seungcheol didn’t care. ‘It’s great. Jeonghan spent the holidays with us.’

 

‘Oh. Cool. The whole week?’ She tried, not even a slight annoyance in her voice. If Seungcheol didn’t hear it from Jeonghan himself, he would have thought Woo Ri was sincere in her words. But he knew better, so this whole act only amazed him, how much the woman improved on her manipulation skills in the time they were apart. ‘Yup.’

 

‘He didn’t go back to his- oh. Yeah. Sorry.’ There it was, that attempt to belittle his lover hidden behind her so-called innocent question. God, Jeonghan was right. He was so blind. He thought she changed because he was more aware and yet didn’t find anything weird about her but he was wrong. She didn’t change, she got better.

 

‘Yeah, he has no family.’ Seungcheol answered bluntly, making sure to let her know that he didn’t care. ‘And he also had a breakdown from being followed. The date ended well by the way.’

 

‘Omo, who-’ the waiter let them know that he was placing their orders on the table, cutting the female omega halfway. After thanking the man, Woo Ri lowered her voice, ‘He’s being followed?’

 

Seungcheol looked at her face, just trying to study her. Not even an indication that she had anything to do with it. And honestly, he didn’t want to believe it either. Because sure, she was sly but not evil. Except, he could not think of anyone else who would do that to Jeonghan. It wouldn’t have bothered him so much had it been one of his extreme fans, but the two men clearly stated that some girl hired them to follow Jeonghan in plain sight. And just based on what Jeonghan told him about Woo Ri trying to threaten him, and his own observation of the woman in front of him, Seungcheol was convinced that she had something to do with it.

 

Which honestly disappointed him. Because despite how bad she treated him in the past, they had known each other for so long he wanted to at least be friends with her.

 

‘Woo Ri, since when did you become like this?’ Seungcheol blurted out, not caring to sugar-coat things. The woman, who was sipping her tea, looked up seemingly in confusion. She probably was, not expecting the alpha to know what he knew now. ‘What? Pretty? Or late?’

 

‘Despicable.’ He answered, not caring to hide his disgust. On the other side, the omega tried laughing it off, caught off guard by the sudden attack. ‘You should’ve known that I’m gonna hear about what you said to Jeonghan. Were you really betting on the probability that he won’t tell me?’

 

‘What bad thing did I say to him? I was concerned about you, so I told him to be careful. I dunno what he told you but the people around him are kinda scary, don’t you think?’ Woo Ri didn’t even try to deny it, and she wa

Chapter 1: Jeonghan has been through a lot from losing his father to being abused by other people( not sure if they can be called people after the things they have done). It is good that Jeonghan was able to speak up and end the abuse though it took a lot from him, he couldn’t interact with people normally. I know that this story will be an angsty one but hopefully things will end well for Jeonghan( at least in the end)

Chapter 36: Tbh at first i thought woori was genuinely helping him but nah she's still a b*tch. Also I'm happy that Cheol is being such a good influence to Jeonghan. I love Jeonghan's character development now that he can warm up to more people like nayeon and even has the courage to join voluntary activity

btw congrats for the success with claimed!! Im so happy for you <3 I'm really grateful that you go through the hardwork to change the names instead so you can keep the meanie version. I hope the other one will be as successful as the meanie version

Chapter 36: You just did a double kill with the double update !!
I love this so much!! woori stop being a and just get lost , cheol ain't yours . And seungcheol is such a sweetheart, I loved seeing their dynamics here. Jeonghan's anxiety was the reason they mated early right ? I hope to see that in the story too.
AND congratulations on your success author. I just hope claimed remains the meanie masterpiece, and the new version of it blows up just the way meanie claimed did !!
Fighting !!

Chapter 34: Ahhh my thirsty jc heart just been clenched XDD Finally they are now together YAY It's just too sweet to read the part where they confessed shyly to each other while holding hands. It felt like they really cherish each other to the point of holding their feelings long. But in the end, it has been the two of them. <3
