Love, Not War (Book 2)

Chapter 43

"What are you doing here?" Jeongin asked Chan. He stood before Chan, dressed in his night clothes with his arms folded against his chest, looking very intimidating with all the muscles but that didn't work on Chan. It could never work on Chan. Instead, Jeongin looked like a puppy trying to stand up to a wolf.

Chan was leaning against the door of his car, both his hands stuffed into his pocket, wearing a lazy grin. He gazed at Jeongin like he was the most stupid guy on earth. "Hmm, you know, I was driving home after the dinner which you nearly sabotaged and I happened to recall you saying that I need to earn your trust before you can accept me getting back into Felix's life"

"Yeah. What about it?" Jeongin answered.

Chan stood up straight and stepped closer to Jeongin, looking down at him like he always has. Jeongin had always been thinking too highly of himself and he needed to be taught a good lesson. "The thing is, Jeongin, I don't need to earn your trust. I don't need your support and I don't need your Goddamn blessings before I do anything with Felix"

"I'm Felix's friend" Jeongin stated. "One word from me and he'll never be with you"

"Oh really?" Chan chuckled. "Because I remember you saying a load of shit tonight and he defended me in the end. I'm not trying to boast here or anything but Felix still has a soft spot for me. Memories or not, I still have an imprint on his heart. I'm sure you've already realised that. I mean, I know you tried your very best to stop him from seeing me at the hospital but he still came without your knowledge"

"That doesn't mean shit" Jeongin sneered, stepping closer to Chan and craning his neck to stare him right in the eyes. "You can't draw a conclusion based on things you were told. He only went back to see you because he felt guilty of putting you in a hospital. Nothing more and once I tell him everything you did to him, he'll never want to see your face again"

Then Chan smirked. "You know what, I wish he never forgot. Whether you believe it or not, I want him to remember. Not knowing who I was to him hurts me more because starting over is so hard but since it's Felix, I don't mind. I'll start over and I'll win him back right before your very eyes"

Jeongin's face went dark and he raised his hands to jack Chan's collar but Chan raised a finger and Jeongin froze. Chan tsked. "I wouldn't do that if I were you Jeongin. And by all means, tell Felix everything. Help him remember his past but as you do that, keep one thing in mind. If I lose Felix forever, you're going to lose him too. No wait, you're not just going to lose him. You're going to lose your little family. You'll lose the man you love and your little JJ"

"You're threatening me now?" Jeongin asked. He tried not to show it but it was there. The fear. He knew first-hand exactly what Chan was capable of.

Chan chuckled and took a step back. "Of course not Jeongin. If any harm is going to befall those that you love, you're gonna do it yourself because you're the one with all the secrets. I don't know if you've thought about it but if Felix remembers all that I did to him, he will surely remember everything you had done too. All the lives you ruined due do that title, 'The Gossip Lord', the girls whose futures you've destroyed, the families you tore apart, all your dirty little secrets which I'm sure not even Seungmin knows"

Jeongin went mute. His heart pounded in fear. The crimes he had committed all sprouted in his mind. Did this mean Chan was going to use them against him?

"Felix will remember those too" Chan continued. "And you see, Felix was very forgiving then because you caught us at a time when his parents had control over him and homosexuality was frowned upon. It's been five years now Jeongin. And things have changed. I mean, you're married to a man now aren't you? Your relationship is known to all. Your parents love Seungmin and your life is a smooth sail. Now that I've learned that Felix is alive and I can actually try to get him back, love him and build a family of my own, you want to snatch that away from me?"

"No fucking way Jeongin" Chan stared down at Jeongin in a very intimidating manner, making Jeongin shudder in terror. "If you ruin what I'm trying to build right now, I will fucking ruin you and you know that I mean it. Don't forget that I still have records of all the crimes you committed which can land you in prison for the rest of your life. Felix may have forgiven you then and out of my love and respect for him, I didn't throw you in jail with his father. You should be fucking grateful. It's because of me that you have the life you're living right now if you dare say a word against me to Felix, I will rip everything you have to shreds"

"And back then, what wrong did I do to you huh?" Chan asked. "The fact that I tried to kill you? You fucking deserved it. Everything I did to you was a result of your own bad deeds. It was payback. You raped and impregnated your own friend. Rose. Do you know what kind of trauma she must have gone through? And instead of coming clean, you convinced her to abort which was very risky. What if she had lost her life? Did you think her family will let you go? And she's not even the only one right? There were so many other innocent girls you did this same thing to you twisted psycho. You and Lisa drove my sister to her death. You humiliated her. Tormented her. You made her life a living hell in that Godforsaken school and what did you expect from her family? From us? Mercy? Well I've done my part Jeongin. I honoured Felix's promise five years ago and also showed you mercy by leaving you your life. If you dare cross me, I will take everything away from you. I promise"
