CHAPTER 44

I am so eager to finish this story!

Jeongguk's PoV

I was left with no choice but to agree to Jackson's suggestion. If I could enter heaven, I will if that would mean I will not go back to hell. However, the possibility of that happening is zero to none. There is no safe place that I could run to except hell. I can't believe I'm going back there again. Why did everything turned out like this? Yesterday I'm just enjoying my freedom with my son, now I'm about to be imprisoned again. Why can't my life sail to the right path? There are always danger lurking around me. Is it so wrong to have peace in my life?

Just when I thought I am starting to stand on my foot once again, the fate decided to mess with me and gave my life a twist once more. Maybe danger has become my best friend and it won't leave me anymore. What a great life to live! Note my sarcasm.

I am so tired with all of this. So fucking tired!

"Dada.." Hades clutched the hem of my shirt tighter. I looked down only to meet those two doe eyes that are full of worries and concern. "Don't worry, Dada. I will protect you.." The worries and concern soon was added with determination. I smiled broadly and soon chuckled while caressing the back of his head lovingly.

"You would?" I can't help but ask. Hades nodded his head repeatedly. "You have to be strong first.."

"I am strong! My uncles taught me how to fight!" He lifted up his biceps and showed it to me, it made me giggle. Though I can't see anything but skin and bones.

"Really now? Then would you show me what you learn?"

Hades step away from me and present what my friends and relative taught him. "Uncle Namjoon taught me this.." Hades started punching the air. I can't control my laugh as I watch him. "Then Uncle Jin kick like this.." My son then kick the air. "And then Uncle Hobi was like.." The little kid uppercut the air. Poor air it must have bruises now. "Then Uncle Jackson.." My brows knitted when I saw how Hades hesitated at first. He stood straight and showed me both of his palms. In a blink of an eye, he managed to summon fire on top of them. It was not outraging as if Jackson really trained my son to control his powers.

My eyes widened and I gasped in shock. All this time I thought he was just a normal kid. All this time I believed that my son must have been a late bloomer. How can Jackson hid me this!? "W-When did you learn that, Hades?"

Hades extinguished the fire and fidgeted with his fingers. "Uncle Jackson secretly taught me. Sorry for hiding it, Dada.." Suddenly, his eyes became watery. He must have thought that I am upset that he hid this fact. I quickly approached him and hugged him tight. After I console my kid, I lifted him from the ground and went to where my relative is.

"Jackson!" I called out to him.

"I'm here.." His voice resonated from the kitchen so I quickly headed there, carrying Hades on my arms.

"What the fuck did you teach my son!?" I immediately exclaimed, Hades hugged my neck tighter and I apologized at him for raising my voice.

"What?" He paused for a moment when he realized what I am talking about. "Oh.." Jackson let out a short chuckle. "You really can't hide anything from your Dada, can you, little devil?" He amusedly said, talking to my son. "Well at least you managed for 2 years.."

"What!? You've been training him since he was one!? Are you out of your goddamn mind!?"

"His powers awoken that time and I was around so I taught him how to control it, then I also told him not to tell you because I want you to be surprised. And look now, you're really surprised.." The stupid grin he has is making me want to snap his neck. Gosh I still can't believe he managed to hide this from me. Me! Who is Hades parent!
