Flower Fiancé Chapter 82

Not even wanting to assign the meaning of “insignificant” to him — Lee Hyunjoon was the first piece of human trash of that kind. When he thought about just how painful a life Ji Yeonwoo must have lived, tied by connection to such a bastard, his boiling rage would not easily subside.

Having finished his cigarette behind the warehouse, Choi Moohyuk dropped the shortened butt to the ground and crushed it under his shoe. As he walked toward where the dull sounds were coming from, several of the blocking subordinates parted to either side.

Having rolled around on the dirt floor, Lee Hyunjoon was a complete wreck. His face was swollen bright red, and his hands and feet seemed injured too, unable to hold himself up properly.

At the sound of approaching footsteps, Lee Hyunjoon raised his head as if convulsing. Seeing Choi Moohyuk already right in front of his nose, the terrified Lee Hyunjoon urgently looked around. Then, spotting his phone lying a short distance ahead, he crawled over and clutched it with both hands.

Watching this, Choi Moohyuk let out a breath as if bored.

“Going to report me or something?”

With trembling hands, Lee Hyunjoon, who had barely managed to press 112, flinched.

“But what are you planning to charge me with? Assault? Violent battery?”

Standing before Lee Hyunjoon, Choi Moohyuk lowered himself.

“Think carefully. Even if we go by the law, I’m only facing assault or battery at most, but you’ve got stalking and drugs on top of that. Who’s in a worse position?”

His finger placed in front of the red call button but unable to press it, Lee Hyunjoon swallowed dryly.

“D-do you have proof?”

Madness was visible in Lee Hyunjoon’s eyes as he raised his head. It seemed he meant to just go all out, since things had already come to this.

“Ah, proof.”

Scoffing as if asking if he was only looking for that now, Choi Moohyuk pulled his phone from his leather jacket and tapped the screen a few times with tap, taptap sounds. Then, a familiar voice flowed from his phone.

‘I underestimated you too much. I thought wrong. If I’d known it would be like this, I would’ve just kidnapped you from the hospital.’

The moment he heard that voice, Lee Hyunjoon’s eyes bulged wide. Without stopping the playback of the recording, Choi Moohyuk watched the agitated Lee Hyunjoon.

‘So, why did you have to lose your pheromones and make things this bad. If you just hadn’t lost your pheromones, I wouldn’t have fallen to rock bottom, would I! I wouldn’t have lived being looked down on by that dog-like omega either….’

‘No, does this even make sense? Does it make sense to get pheromone deficiency just from taking a little drug? What kind of dominant omega is, fuck, this weak. Did you forge your trait test results to marry me? Were you not even a dominant omega from the start?’

Receiving the karma for the words he’d recklessly spouted without thinking, Lee Hyunjoon looked utterly devastated.

“Do you remember now where, and in front of whom, you shot your mouth off?”

Choi Moohyuk snatched the phone that was precariously held in Lee Hyunjoon’s hand and tossed it behind his back, then with one hand he grabbed and twisted the face of the dazed Lee Hyunjoon. At the pain crushing his face, Lee Hyunjoon’s eyes flew wide and he trembled violently, but paying no mind, Choi Moohyuk began pouring out dominant alpha pheromones.

“Think about what you did to Ji Yeonwoo. What drug did you administer and how, for Ji Yeonwoo to get pheromone deficiency? Hm?”

“Ugh, urgh, hack!”

Lee Hyunjoon thrashed, unable to endure the onslaught of Choi Moohyuk’s pheromones. Even for an alpha, it was no easy task to withstand pheromones persistently poured out by a dominant alpha. Moreover, with an injured and weakened body, the pain was bound to be even greater.

“I looked into it a bit too, and there are quite a variety of ways to get pheromone deficiency. There are natural causes, but acquired pheromone deficiency from accidents is more common.”

“Huff, ugh….”

“For example, administering drugs like you did, or having your pheromone gland break down from a car accident, or if not that, having your pheromone gland burst due to someone.”

Staring at Lee Hyunjoon with awl-sharp eyes as he spoke, Choi Moohyuk poured out dominant alpha pheromones while simultaneously seizing the back of Lee Hyunjoon’s neck with his remaining hand. As his hand accurately found the pheromone gland and pressed down with his thumb, Lee Hyunjoon’s red bloodshot eyes flew wide open. He had realized what Choi Moohyuk was about to do.

“Ugh, stop, st… ugh!”

“You shouldn’t be in pain already. Your suffering is only just beginning.”

“Ugh, I was wrong, I said I was wrong….”

“You go through the same thing. The life Ji Yeonwoo lived.”

“Aaagh, I said I was wrong. I said I won’t do it again, fuck!”

Within the hand gripping his face, the fear-stricken Lee Hyunjoon’s breath scattered wildly. The hand pressing down on his pheromone gland exerted more and more force.

“Your posture is wrong. Even if you begged more grovelingly, it’s still touch and go whether I’d let you off, what?”

“No, pheromones, are, ah….”

“Getting rid of a worthless maggot like you? No matter how much the world has changed, killing one person isn’t that difficult. But… snapping your breath in one go is too easy a punishment, thinking about what you’ve done all this time, isn’t it?”

“Uugh, ugh….”

“So experience it for yourself. What happens when a trait carrier’s pheromone gland is destroyed.”

As soon as his words ended, Lee Hyunjoon, who had been weakly flailing, flinched and turned his head.

“Don’t. Don’t… urg!”

He struggled desperately to escape, but it was no use. His mind growing hazy from the even more fiercely pouring dominant alpha pheromones, Lee Hyunjoon twitched within his hand.

Without easing the pheromones flooding out or the strength in the hand gripping his nape in the slightest, he pressed down further. In an instant, from within the skin seized at the nape, a kind of crunching, crushing sound was heard. Lee Hyunjoon’s eyes, as he had been thrashing in pain, flipped over like those of someone whose fuse had blown.

Only then did Choi Moohyuk discard Lee Hyunjoon, who went limp in his hand. The large body collapsed onto the dirt floor with a thud, like a huge slab of meat.

“Ah, n-no. My pheromones, ha, ah….”

Lee Hyunjoon writhed, covering the nape that Choi Moohyuk had pressed down on with one hand. There was no blood, and outwardly no wound at all, but he could instinctively feel that his pheromone gland had been ruined. It was because he could feel his pheromones leaking out ceaselessly, like water streaming from a punctured hose.

Lee Hyunjoon, convulsing on the dirt floor, was the picture of groveling wretchedness. Having tormented Ji Yeonwoo for years and made him lose his pheromones, now that his own pheromone gland was broken and leaking, he was falling to pieces as if the world had collapsed.

From the feel of his hand, he had certainly rendered Lee Hyunjoon’s pheromone gland useless, but as expected, that alone didn’t quell his anger. It was the moment he was about to approach, clenching his fist so that the leather half gloves made a grinding sound.

“Managing Director.”

Park Jincheol, who had been watching from behind, hastily blocked his path. One eyebrow of Choi Moohyuk, who had stopped in his tracks, rose.

“If you go further than this, it could truly become dangerous.”

“…Move.”

But Choi Moohyuk, whose anger had not subsided, was not about to listen to him. Park Jincheol cast his gaze downward but absolutely did not back down.

“The sun will rise soon. If the Managing Director is not by his side, Mr. Ji Yeonwoo might worry.”

The moment the name ‘Ji Yeonwoo’ came out of Park Jincheol’s mouth, the gaze that had been nothing but chilling wavered. Ji Yeonwoo, right. Ji Yeonwoo was waiting at home. Only then did his awl-sharp eyes gradually loosen.

“We will handle the rest.”

“….”

“Managing Director.”

Park Jincheol’s will was firm.

Staring at the collapsed Lee Hyunjoon as if looking at an insect, Choi Moohyuk turned his sharpened gaze back to Park Jincheol.

“I’ll say this for the last time. Make sure that bastard never appears in front of Ji Yeonwoo again.”

The meaning of his words was simple. Since you blocked me, the moment Lee Hyunjoon appears before Ji Yeonwoo again, I won’t let you off either.

“Yes, understood.”

Only then did Park Jincheol turn his body toward Lee Hyunjoon and open the path. Watching Lee Hyunjoon twitch where he had fallen on the dirt floor, Choi Moohyuk removed the leather half gloves from his hands with neat, precise movements.

“Finish everything and report.”

Looking alternately at Park Jincheol, who blocked his way, and the fallen Lee Hyunjoon, Choi Moohyuk tossed the bloodied leather half gloves down in front of them as if throwing them, and turned away.

Toward the retreating figure of Choi Moohyuk leaving the warehouse, Park Jincheol and his subordinates bowed their waists.
