After the Incident

Yeonjun dragged Beomgyu upstairs and slammed the door shut behind them. The sound of the lock clicking echoed ominously. Beomgyu's heart raced as he stepped back, holding his injured arm close to his chest. Yeonjun leaned against the door, his expression dark and unreadable.

Yj: You became so freaking bold this days huh?
Yeonjun said in his drunk voice, a sly smile creeping across his lips.
Yj: Let me remind u of who am I.

Bg: Who are you!?
Beomgyu scoffed, his voice laced with sarcasm.
Bg: Because threatening me with a belt doesn't mean I'm scared okay?

Yeonjun's eyes narrowed as he removed his belt and folded it in his hand.
Yj : Wow Choi Beomgyu, you've got quite the attitude for someone who u can barely stand.

Beomgyu clenched his fists, his injuries throbbing with every movement.
Bg: What's your problem Choi Yeonjun? you can't control me anymore, no matter how hard u try. you insulted me in front of everyone but I don't care I'm not your doll anymore.

Yeonjun's grin disappeared. He stepped closer, the belt dangling ominously.
Yj: I'm not trying. I am in control & I'll make sure u understand that. & what were you saying? insult huh! you are a pathetic person who doesn't have any existence in the whole school & you deserve it & now I'm going to teach u a lesson.

Beomgyu tried to back away, but the bed blocked his path. Yeonjun swung the belt toward him, and though Beomgyu raised his arm to shield himself, the impact sent a jolt of pain through his body.

Downstairs, Soobin paced nervously, glancing toward the staircase every few seconds. His fingers hovered over his phone as he debated calling for help. Finally, he dialed the police, but before he could press the call button, Mr. and Mrs. Choi appeared.

Mrs.Choi: What r u doing son?
Mrs. Choi asked, her voice firm but not unkind.

Sb: I'm calling the police!
Soobin exclaimed, his voice trembling with anger.
Sb: Yeonjun is hurting Beomgyu! Someone must stop him!

Mr. Choi placed a hand on Soobin's shoulder.
Mr.Choi: Come down son. This is a family matter we'll handle this don't worry.

Sb: Handle it!?
Soobin snapped.
Sb: He's your son but that doesn't give him right to-

Mrs. Choi interrupted gently but firmly.
Mrs.Choi: Soobin I can understand your condition but trust us we'll handle this. Yeonjun can do nothing as long as we're here.

Mr. Choi nodded toward the security guards nearby.
Mr.Choi: Guards! Clear the guests & follow me upstairs immediately.

The guards moved quickly, escorting the remaining guests out of the house. Mr. Choi and the guards headed upstairs, their footsteps heavy against the wooden floor.

When they reached the room, they heard muffled sounds of struggle. Without hesitation, Mr. Choi ordered the guards to break the door down.

Inside, they found Yeonjun mid-swing, his belt poised to strike again. Beomgyu stood by the bed, his arms raised defensively, tears streaking his face.

Mr.Choi: YEONJUN!
Mr. Choi's voice boomed, stopping Yeonjun in his tracks.
Mr.Choi: Drop that belt right now!

Yeonjun froze, his grip on the belt tightening before he finally tossed it aside. His expression was a mix of frustration and guilt as he turned to face his father.

Mrs. Choi rushed to Beomgyu's side, pulling him into a protective embrace.
Mrs.Choi: My baby bear
she whispered, her voice trembling with emotion.
Mrs.Choi: Are u okay? let me see.

Beomgyu winced as she gently examined his bruises and cuts.
Bg: I'm fine mom.
he muttered, though his voice betrayed his pain.

Mr.Choi: Guards!
Mr. Choi said sharply,
Mr.Choi: Take Yeonjun to his room. he needs to get rid of his drunk statement.

Yj: No! No! I'll kill him today I'm not going-
Yeonjun began, but the guards grabbed his arms and escorted him out of the room.

Mrs. Choi stayed with Beomgyu, tending to his injuries and whispering soothing words.
Mrs.Choi: You're safe now bear. Just rest we'll take care of everything. you don't need to worry you're father & I always here for u.
she said softly, brushing his hair back.

The Next Morning ☀

Sunlight streamed through the curtains as Yeonjun woke up, his head pounding from the previous night. He rubbed his temples, trying to piece together what had happened. The sharp knock on his door jolted him fully awake.

Mr.Choi : Yeonjun
his father's voice called from the other side.
Mr.Choi: Wash yourself & come to my office now.

Groaning, Yeonjun got up and splashed cold water on his face before heading downstairs. When he entered the office, Beomgyu was already there, sitting stiffly in a chair with his arms crossed. Mrs. Choi sat beside him, her expression a mix of concern and disappointment.

Mr.Choi: Sit down.
Mr. Choi said curtly, motioning to the chair opposite Beomgyu.

Yeonjun sat down, his eyes flicking between his parents and his brother.
Yj: What's this about?
he asked, though he had a sinking feeling he already knew.

Mr.Choi: You already know what is this about
Mr. Choi said, his tone icy.
Mr.Choi : Your behaviour last night was unacceptable. I'm very disappointed Yeonjun.

Yeonjun rolled his eyes.
Yj: Oh come on. Beomgyu knows how to push my buttons. He's not innocent in this. you have to blame him too because he started it..

Mr.Choi: ENOUGH!
Mr. Choi's voice was firm, cutting through Yeonjun's excuses.
Mr.Choi : You r the older brother Yeonjun. You're supposed to protect him not harm him. What u did was inexcusable.

Mrs. Choi added, her voice softer but no less resolute,
Mrs.Choi: We've given u so many chances Jun. But this time you've gone too far

Yeonjun leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms.
Yj: So what? Are u going to disown me now?

Mr. Choi's expression hardened.
Mr.Choi: No but there will be consequences. Your mother & I will. be leaving Korea for work within few weeks. you & Beomgyu will stay here alone.

What!?
Yeonjun and Beomgyu exclaimed simultaneously.

Mrs. Choi nodded.
Mrs.Choi: It's time for u both to grow up. Yeonjun you're about to step into CEO role if u can't manage your own family how do u expect to lead an entire company?.

Beomgyu scoffed, his arms tightening around his chest.
Bg: So you're just gonna leave me with him after everything?

Mr.Choi: You'll have the space to stand up for yourself.
Mr. Choi said.
Mr.Choi: & Yeonjun will learn the responsibility of caring for someone other than himself

Yeonjun smirked.
Yj: So I'm in charge now?

mr.Choi: Still no.
Mrs. Choi said sharply.
Mr.Choi: I'll tell you when it's time but from now try to prove to us you deserve this role before we leave. both in family & company.

The room fell silent, the tension so thick it was almost suffocating. Beomgyu avoided Yeonjun's gaze, his mind racing with thoughts of the months to come.
Bg: Oh my God. I'm gonna leave alone with........Yeonjun?
