Don't Blame Me || Jeongcheol

Chapter 24

Seungcheol's eyes widened in surprise, his jaw dropping at Jeonghan's sudden declaration. "No." he said firmly, shaking his head. "Absolutely not. You're not coming with us."

Jeonghan glared at him, his eyes flashing with determination. "Yes, I am." he said firmly, his voice leaving no room for argument. "I'm not going to sit here and wait, while you and the others risk your lives."

Seungcheol's frustration grew, his hands clenched into fists as he tried to reason with Jeonghan. "Jeonghan, this is not a game." he said firmly. "It's dangerous and risky, and I can't let you put yourself in harm's way."

"I know it's dangerous, Cheol." Jeonghan shot back, his voice sharp and stubborn. "But I'm not going to just sit here and let you all risk your lives while I do nothing. This is my fight too, and I want to be there."

Seungcheol felt his patience wearing thin, but he took a deep breath, trying to rein in his emotions. "Jeonghan, I can't let you do this." he said, his voice stern and firm. "It's too dangerous. You have Haneul to think about. You need to stay here, where it's safe, and take care of him."

Jeonghan's expression softened at the mention of Haneul, a flicker of guilt and concern crossing his features. But he shook his head stubbornly, determination still burning in his eyes. "Haneul will be fine." he said firmly.

"And I can't just sit back and do nothing. This is my fight, Cheol. I need to be there."

Seungcheol bristled at Jeonghan's stubbornness, his irritation rising as he tried to reason with him once again
"Jeonghan, listen to me." he said, his voice taking on a commanding tone. "You cannot come with us. It's too dangerous. I can't risk your safety. I can't risk losing you."

Jeonghan's frustration flared at Seungcheol's words, his anger rising to the surface. "You can't just decide this for me, Cheol!" he exclaimed, his voice rising in volume. "I'm a fully capable and trained agent. I can handle myself in a fight. I can be of help on this mission."

"It's not about your abilities, Jeonghan." Seungcheol retorted, his own anger starting to show. "It's about the fact that we don't know what kind of situation we're walking into. It's too dangerous, and I can't let you risk your life like this."

Jeonghan let out an exasperated sigh, his frustration and determination battling in his eyes. "I don't care about the danger." he said bluntly. "I don't care about the risk. I'm going to be there, whether you like it or not."

"Don't be stupid Jeonghan. You are staying here that's final." Seungcheol said with finality.

Jeonghan bristled at Seungcheol's authoritative tone, his own determination and stubbornness only growing stronger. "Don't tell me what to do, Cheol." he retorted, his voice taking on a challenging tone. "You can't just decide this for me. I'm coming with you, whether you like it or not."

Seungcheol let out a frustrated growl, his temper starting to fray as he tried to reason with Jeonghan. "Jeonghan, you are being unreasonable." he said firmly.

"You are not coming with us. It's too risky. Don't make me tie you down to prevent you from coming."

Jeonghan's anger flared at Seungcheol's threat, his eyes narrowing in defiant challenge. "Try it and see what happens." he said, his voice daring and defiant.

"You won't be able to stop me. I'll find a way to come with you, one way or another."

"You are being irrational and reckless." Seungcheol retorted, his voice rising in frustration. "This isn't a game, Jeonghan. This is serious. You need to listen to me and stay here where it's safe."

Jeonghan's face flushed with irritation at Seungcheol's words, his eyes blazing with determination. "I don't care if it's irrational or reckless." he shot back. "I'm coming with you, and you can't stop me. I'm not staying here while you and the others risk your lives for my sake."
