442.

Na-Ra let out a relieved breath, not expecting Hye-Jin to drop the bomb at her mom like that. In a way, this came sooner than expected. She was out of one hook. Now that the rejection came from Hye-Jin itself, her parents weren't going to question her.

She slanted a glance at Na-Rae and both hit a high five under the table. However, her mother cannot know she was sulking. So she pretended to bite her lip and push the dessert around her plate.

Myeong-suk was unbelievably furious. Though her scent remained neutral, not letting anyone know how she actually felt, she could see it in her eyes and the way she clenched her jaw so tight while trying to keep that humble attitude.

When Hye-Jin excused herself, Myeong-suk only waited for a minute before chasing after her. Na-Ra and Na-Rae shared a glance before rushing after her with a soft curse.

However, when they arrived at the parking lot, Myeong-suk was behind a concrete pillar, lifting a hand and halting them with a glare that sent shivers down their spine. Her gaze was so cold and their mother was furious. A few feet from them behind another pillar stood Hye-Jin, looking so stunned as she stared at the scene in front of her.

Na-ra was so confused until she heard the voice.

"Just one more."

Na-Ra whipped her head to the direction as if she got sprayed by hot lava. Her heart suddenly picked up pace and her eyes widened. In front of her was none other than Jimin with the omega she recognized so well. He might be looking the other way, but his features were ingrained in her mind so much that she didn't even need to look at his face to know who the omega was.

"People can see," the omega whined, twiddling with Jimin's shirt button in a voice she recognized just confirming her suspicion.

"This is a private parking lot," Jimin said, his grip tightening around the omega's hip.

Such a fucking man whore, she snarled internally, nostrils flaring with anger. I never thought you'd stoop this low, Jimin.

"But other VIP patrons can come out," Jungkook whose face was hidden with a hood said, but she could see it was him. The nose and a glimpse of eyes she caught when he slightly turned were unmistakable. "And I'm getting late for my classes."

"Fine. Fine." Jimin puckered his lips. "Come here, Cherry Blossom. Just one kiss and I'll get you to your classes in a jiffy."

Cherry Blossom? Did he fucking call him Cherry Blossom?

Na-Ra ground her jaw so hard that it hurt. Her nails dug into her palms and her lips trembled with fury.

Jungkook made a noise in his throat, but leaned forward to kiss his lips and Na-Ra averted her gaze. This was ridiculous. She couldn't see it anymore.

Jimin's scent was purely joyful. Something she never smelled on him in ages. Na-Ra bit her tongue. Thanks to her scent blockers. If not for them, she would have given away her presence.

"Alright. I gave you my word. Let's get you to your class."

She didn't turn even the sound of a car pulling away reached her. Jiseung's words echoed in her mind. He has someone. Jimin walked out of mid-fuck for an omega.

Na-Ra glanced over her shoulder and the omega she lost to was a good for nothing, low-life. She fought the urge to laugh and Na-Rae pulled her back into the restaurant when Hye-Jin began to walk to her car. She was too numb to move as her thoughts raced.

I lost to a low life.

Myeong-Suk clenched her fists and paced the private room they retreated to. Na-Rae sat down, stirring a drink she ordered while Na-Ra didn't utter a word, silently fuming.


"How dare she!" Myeong-Suk scoffed. "I never expected her to reject our Na-Ra like that. And that fucking manwhore is dallying with a nobody in the parking lot as if nothing matters. Curse him!" she growled.


"He has a name," Na-Rae stated coolly. "Jeon Jungkook, a sponsorship student at SNU. You may know him as one of the victims from the Jun-Myeon case." She draped a hand at the back of a chair casually as she stared at their mother pointedly.


Na-Ra and Myeong-Suk whipped their heads toward her.


Na-Rae scoffed. "Na-Ra identified him first."


Myeong-Suk turned to Na-Ra for confirmation and she nodded in response. "It's him." She clenched her jaw so hard. "I'll recognise that voice anywhere."


Myeong-Suk sat down, delicate fingers drumming on the table as she was contemplating something. After a few terse moment, she scoffed.


"So the regal Park Hye-Jin's son ran out of purebred holes to stick his dick in so that he has to resort to some street mutt that leaks slick," she sneered. "Bet that's a blow to her ego." She leaned back in the chair. "Explains why she was hiding behind that pillar and watching. She always behaves as if we're beneath her." She laughed. "Her son proved he's none the wiser. He lays with pigs now." Her laughter that followed was loud and obnoxious. "I can't believe her son is sleeping with the same omega she defended so fiercely. She called it a Park family matter and humiliated me. All for this? Karma is indeed a bitch."


Na-Rae slanted a glance at Na-Ra. "Thought you'd be upset."


"I. Am. Upset." Myeong-Suk slammed her palms on the table with a hiss. "I'm fucking upset that knot head alpha stopped so low to bed a regular omega. And if my daughter married him now she'd have to live with the knowledge that her alpha has a thing for those fucking mutts." She tapped a furious finger on the table. "I'm upset that Hye-Jin rejected this proposal with no remorse when she promised she'd try her best and choose my daughter as her son's wife." Her chest heaved and she flared at the cup in front of her. "I won't let this slide. If Na-Ra cannot become that family's daughter in law then I'll make sure everyone knows what kind of man whore their son is. I'll ruin their reputation and make them wish they didn't give birth to him." She stood and grabbed her bag. "Na-Rae, we missed today, but get your man on them. We need to catch them red-handed and then I'll rub it on Hye-Jin's face. I wanna see what she has to say about her son fucking a nobody."


Na-Rae nodded. "Okay."


Na-Ra, who was fuming, smirked at that. "Sounds good to me." She stood.


"But you will not say or do something foolish," Myeong-Suk said in a stern voice. "You've done enough and I think your conversation with Jimin didn't go well."


How did she know?


Na-Ra averted her gaze. Panic filled her.


"Don't worry, my daughter. I'll have your father try one more time. If not, then we will make them wish they had accepted the offer when they had it." She patted her cheek. "I wanna see what the son and his father will tell the board of directors when the word gets out." She smirked and the malicious intent behind her eyes gave Na-Ra shivers. "Come. Let's go. We have a job to do and I'll make the Parks regret rejecting my daughter."


Na-Ra and her sister followed their mother out. The wheels in her head were already turning as she entered the car. What happened to Jimin and his family wasn't in her hands now. However, she'd deal with Jun-Myeon first and then teach a lesson to Jungkook.


She notched her chin, features hardening with determination. A regular omega was beneath them and belonged to the streets. She will show him his place and will make him regret even looking at Jimin.
