[ENGLISH VERSION] SEVENTEEN: Code One | SeokSoo

Chapter 22

The day after Jihyun was executed, Joshua and Dokyeom returned to school and were able to carry out their activities comfortably and more freely without anyone wanting to bother them anymore.

And the good news is, everyone at the school already knows that Dokyeom and Joshua are married. They received many congratulations and gifts in their dormitory. Not only that, Dokyeom has also marked Joshua's neck as a sign that he belongs to Dokyeom now.

On this day, the students in class 2-3 wondered about the cause of Jihyun's death. Instead of getting white roses, Jihyun's desk was now filled with scribbles containing taunts and harsh words.

Hoshi, who was also curious about this, approached Joshua at his desk, "Joshua, do you know what caused Jihyun's death? Was she sentenced to death?" he said.

Dokyeom, who saw Hoshi talking near Joshua, just sighed and let the two friends chat as they pleased.

Joshua was initially confused about how to answer Hoshi's question, because Joshua witnessed it himself on the day of Jihyun's execution. He was afraid of being labeled a psychopath if he remained calm.

"You know what he did to me and Dokyeom, right? He harmed an omega like me, he slandered an alpha like Dokyeom, he also committed fraud under the guise of a fake will. So, what kind of punishment do you think is appropriate for Jihyun if that's the case?" Joshua said.

"Hmm... She... She was removed from this area and... She was just thrown away?" Hoshi said a little hesitantly.

"Just a little bit more."

"Uhmm... Don't tell me... She was used as food for the rogues out there?!"

"Exactly."

Hoshi immediately stroked his chest, "Gosh... That's terrible. But she deserved that punishment for what ahe did to you. But why didn't Taehyung get punished too, huh? Even though they're siblings." he said.

Hoshi's last sentence made all the students in the class stop and gasp in shock. They immediately stared at Hoshi.

"They're siblings?!" Sunwoo said.

"Yes, my partner told me about it. He accidentally saw Taehyung and Jihyun with his binocular while they on the rooftop." Hoshi said.

The news about the sibling relationship between Taehyung and Jihyun is now the main topic of conversation in their class.

"Oh... So, they are siblings? But, their surnames are different. Kook Jihyun and Kim Taehyung. Do they have different fathers?" Mingyu said.

"Jihyun's mother married Taehyung's father. Their parents might have divorced first. Or because Jihyun's father and Taehyung's mother have died? They never talked about it." Hoshi said.

"How did Woozi know all the information about Jihyun and Taehyung so far?" Joshua wondered.

"I don't know... They said not to let the whole school know that they are siblings. Jihyun never even talked about her plans or what she would do to get rid of you to Taehyung." Hoshi said.

"That means Taehyung is just an errand boy for Jihyun. Maybe Taehyung doesn't agree if he has to deal with me or Joshua. He has nothing to do with us." Dokyeom said.

"That's right. Thank goodness because now you can be free from all these trials, Joshua." Hoshi said while patting Joshua's shoulder.

"Ahem... Hoshi..." Dokyeom cleared his throat, and Hoshi reflexively moved his hand away from Joshua.

"Yes?" Hoshi said.

"You know that Joshua is my wife, right? If you don't want to cross the line, tell Woozi to move classes here and accompany you. You seem lonely."
