Seojoon's sneer turned into a forced smile, his eyes betraying a mixture of anger and apprehension. "Fine, I accept your challenge, Jeongguk. But don't think this changes anything. The outcome will be the same."
"We will see" Jeongguk said.
"What is this?" Minseok let out. "This is ridiculous"
"It's the proper way" Jeongguk turned to Minseok.
"Trying to act brave" Minseok scoffed. "You are going to die, boy"
"You both plan to kill me anyway. So I would rather die with honour, fighting for my omega till my final breath"
Taehyung stood frozen beside Jeongguk, the conversation around him falling onto deaf ears.
Minseok, though visibly agitated, was bound by the laws of their pack. He couldn't deny the legitimacy of the duel. "So be it. The duel will take place tomorrow at dawn. In the pack's clearing."
Taehyung fell back to earth. "No! I refuse!" He shouted.
"Tae..." Jeongguk whispered.
"There need not be a duel" He looked at Minseok and Jeongguk. "I accept defeat. I will marry Seojoon, I told you. There is no need for anyone to die!"
"The duel is already accepted," Minseok muttered.
"Please, turn it down" Taehyung pleaded to Seojoon. "I will forever obey you and be your omega"
"Taehyung!" Jeongguk snapped.
"No" Taehyung seetehed. "You are not dying, Jeongguk. You can't fucking die like this!"
"If I don't do this, I will lose everything. I will lose my life to them and what is the meaning of my life to be killed in the hands of such dishonourable and evil bastards? And most importantly, I will lose you, and losing you would mean you will also lose your future and happiness. So excuse me for trying to fight for all of that"
"If it means you will live, I will do anything" Taehyung pleaded.
"A duel doesn't mean that I will die. You have such little faith in me"
"That's not-"
"Shut it!" Seojoon snapped, making everyone look at him. "Why is the omega talking when the alphas are talking business? This isn't your place to talk, omega"
"You will respect my omega!" Jeongguk growled. "Keep his name out of your filthy mouth"
Seojoon scoffed. "I can't wait to kill you with my bare hands. Be ready for your death tomorrow at dawn"
It dawned on Taehyung that he had no capability of stopping the duel. The duel had been accepted by Seojoon and there is no going back on that.
"No" Taehyung said. "In a week. Have the duel in a week"
