A resonant smacking sound sounded through Sehun’s dorm. Joonmyeon stood over his son as he held his cheek while Joonmyeon huffed, his face showing nothing but anger at him. “How could you be so stupid!” His voice boomed, making the others in the room jump. Kai, Kyungsoo and Tao stood behind Sehun, silently watching.

“Father, I can explain…”Sehun started.

“You will explain nothing to me! You cost our people their safety by exposing the Park boy. All for nothing! I don’t even know what you were thinking!” Joonmyeon lectured, smacking his cheek once more. “You are to keep away from Taehyung Park from now on. I don’t want to keep cleaning up after you.”

With that, the Exotyte Captain left the room. Tao looked at Sehun’s cheek and felt empathetic for him. He had seen his father hit him more times than he could remember and it was always for never doing what his father expected of him. Kai and Kyungsoo moved to sit down with the Captain gone and waited for Sehun.

“I’m gonna kill him.” His voice was taut. He stood up and reached for the lamp on his desk. “A mutt like him should have never existed anyway.”

“But you heard the captain--” Tao started but was immediately silenced with a glare.

“I don’t give a damn what my father says! Taehyung Park will die by my hands.” Sehun declared, his eyes wild. He threw the lamp at the wall, causing everyone in the room to cover their heads.

Taehyung was pacing as his parents and Jimin sat on the beds. He was rambling on and they listened carefully. Baekhyun wanted to sink into himself but he could understand how his child felt.

“This isn’t what I wanted to happen! I just wanted to know who he was! I wanted to understand and learn about my Mato half!” He shouted. Jimin stood and placed his hand on his friend’s shoulder. “I didn’t want any of this.”

“I understand, Tae. It was a big shock for his family, too.” Jimin tried to console him but his anxiety was already above the galaxy.

“That doesn’t make me feel any better!” Taehyung shouted.

As he paced, Chanyeol watched him from his place on the bed. Worry was filling him like a void he couldn’t escape. He could understand his son’s anger and didn’t like seeing him like this.

“Son…” he started softly.

“This just isn’t how any of this should’ve gone.” Taehyung continued to pace, holding his head in his hands.

“Son…” Chanyeol continued to try and get his attention. “Son, please…”

Taehyung finally heard him and stopped moving. “How can you still call me your son? How can you say that while knowing I’m not...I’m not...”

Chanyeol stood up and hugged the boy. “You’re not what? My son by blood? That doesn’t matter to me. I raised you. I will always call you my son because that is who you are to me. That will never change.” Taehyung begins sobbing loudly hearing these words. “No matter what, you are still my son.”

As he held his son, he looked over at Baekhyun and shared a silent agreement. Now wasn’t the time to tel

Chapter 20: Congrats on finally being vaccinated, especially with the Delta variant floating around.

I feel sorry for Daehyun, nobody wants to be anywhere near him. I’m not excusing his actions but we can’t always help when love strikes - or with whom. Also, Xelena is such a hypocrite to talk to him like that when she did the exact same thing.

Hopefully, Taehyung will be able to continue going to school there and be protected in the process. The adults could take lessons from him and his friends.

Thank you for the update, looking forward to the next chapter.

Chapter 19: Welcome back and thank you for the update. This chapter was really interesting with all the different ways the news has affected each family. I’d be willing to bet that Kenny is Youngjae’s son, so Xelena had no right to insult Daehyun, as she is just as guilty. It’s good to see Chanyeol step up to the late to support Taehyung and Baek.

Now, Sehun’s evil and jealous has reached a whole new level of crazy. His hatred of Taehyung is truly mystifying, as there is no going back from killing someone. As usual, can’t wait to see where this goes.

P.s. What type of work do you do, if you don’t mind me asking?😊

Chapter 18: Hi, good to know you’re doing well and your tests came back negative. I was vaccinated 2 weeks ago with the one dose shot and luckily did not have any extreme symptoms. My arm literally ached for a week and I had fever, fatigue, and heavy sweats for a couple of days.

This was such a good chapter, although rather heartbreaking. I feel so sorry for poor Taehyung, but I am so proud of Chanyeol for sticking by him as his dad. It is also good that Junmyeon has the common sense to keep Sehun away from him. I know it’s a bit wrong of me, but I still kind of want Daehyun and Baekhyun to be together, as it’s obvious that their feelings have not diminished over the years. Such a sad situation all around. Can’t wait to see what the Kings say about it. Awesome update, I was missing this story.😊

Chapter 17: Thanks for the update. Something tells me that Sehun’s little stunt will (hopefully) backfire. Even though it was a trap, it’s also out in the open that Taehyung has been bullied by Sehun all those years. I just reread the chapter and I don’t know how I missed that Kenny’s parents were also there. What a royal mess. I am loving the story so far, but I can’t even hazard a guess as to where things will go from here. Interestingly enough, most of the characters are a victim, in one way or another.

Chapter 16: This was such a good chapter, but I am scared for poor Taehyung. Whatever Sehun is planning is not good, he’s the abomination. Fingers crossed that there is still hope for him at some point. In the meantime, will the others can risk his wrath to band together and keep Taehyung safe? Sehun’s knowledge is even detrimental to himself, but he’s so blinded by hatred and jealousy that he doesn’t realize the danger it poses to his planet. Great stuff.

Lastly, I love that Himchan does not have a problem with Taehyung’s mixed heritage, or even him dating Victoria. Thank you for the update, I can’t wait to see what happens next.

Chapter 15: Happy New Year, thank you for the bonus update. Things are really getting interesting. I just hope that Wendy takes pity on Taehyung, and stops giving Sehun info about him. Speaking of Sehun, I can’t wait to find out about his black eyes, very sinister. Also, his obsession and bullying is as unhealthy for him as it is dangerous for both boys. Once Taehyung’s powers fully manifest he won’t stand a chance.

Chapter 14: So sorry to hear about your surgery, but it’s good to know you’re on the mend. Hang in there and feel better soon.

Awesome update as usual, and I see more secrets are starting to come to light. At least everything is not about poor Taehyung. The last interchange was quite interesting, and will hopefully make Tao start to realize there could be very serious repercussions to his actions.

Chapter 13: Thank you so much for continuing to update, you have a fan for life in me. Since I’m new to the story, it hasn’t been that long in between chapters.

This was an interesting chapter, and I like that Taehyung and Victoria are forming more of a connection. I’m really scared for him though, as it’s not going to take much for others to figure out his secret. At this point, I am wondering if Sehen is solely the antagonist, or if it’s going to be Kenny after he finds out they’re half brothers. Not that he deserves it, but I am worried for Tao as well. He will be another target once Sehun finds out he knew about Taehyung. Poor misguided children, I hope at some point they can all get along.
