[ENGLISH VERSION] SEVENTEEN: Code One | SeokSoo

Chapter 21

While his friends chased after Jihyun, Dokyeom took the time to help unpack and rearrange Joshua's things from his suitcase. Joshua almost wanted to leave the dorm, but luckily he didn't thanks to Dokyeom and Mingyu's efforts.

"Since when did you and Mingyu find out about the truth of that letter?" Joshua said.

"Since you first wanted to lock yourself in your room." Dokyeom said.

"Gosh, Dokyeom... I didn't think you would be that serious about going all the way just so that I wouldn't leave here."

"Yes, I did that for our own good. I am indeed a person who can't accept the truth instantly, I will always check whether the truth is really made honestly or not. I don't like being deceived."

"Yes, you're right. I'm also sorry that I suddenly got emotional and prevented you from confronting Jihyun and fighting with her at that time. I really couldn't stand it anymore and I felt that I had no self-respect left. I thought that Jihyun would continue to do anything to chase me away, even using a fake will like that. That's why I cursed her before I left."

"Your action of directly confronting and fighting with Jihyun was not wrong to me. You did have the right to be angry, that's why I let you and I didn't mediate or break you up for a while. But when I realized that you were really out of control, then I and the others rushed to stop you."

"It seems like Jihyun woke up my wolf after sleeping for so long. I think, I must have looked scary at that time."

"Not only scary, but you were also terrifying for me at that time. I was surprised that the Joshua I knew could vent his anger like that. Of course, you shouldn't be a weak omega at a time like that."

"That's right."

Finally, all of Joshua's belongings were arranged and returned to their original places. Dokyeom then pulled Joshua to sit on the bed with him.

"Joshua..." Dokyeom said.

"Yes?" Joshua said.

"I apologized before because I couldn't protect you well. I apologize because at that time I couldn't forget Jieun as a precious past for me. From now on, I promise to protect you as your alpha. You are mine now, and vice versa."

Joshua and Dokyeom were now holding hands, and looking at each other with a touched look while smiling.

"You don't need to apologize, Dokyeom. I'm sure you need time to think about everything that is still bothering you when we got married. I do appreciate all the secrets you have and will not be curious to find out, especially about the late Jieun. As a good omega, I will also always protect you."

"I love you, Joshua. I'm sorry I just said this now. I want us to start over. I want us to really enjoy our time as a real married couple, because no one will bother us anymore. What do you think?"

"From the beginning, I was immediately fascinated when I first saw you in class. I love you too, Dokyeom. You are the perfect alpha for me. And I agree and I will follow your wishes."

"I feel grateful for what I see and have now. Thank you for being in my life, Joshua. Don't ever try to leave me again."

"I am also very grateful to you, Dokyeom. I promise I will not leave you again."

They both hugged each other tightly with a feeling of happiness. Finally, they could go through all these trials together easily, even though they had to sacrifice pain and suffering for quite a long time.

"I will mark you tonight after I take care of Jihyun, are you ready?" Dokyeom said.

"I am ready, because I am yours now." Joshua said.
