Chapter 29: There's No Chance at All

No One's POV

Jeno barged inside the room of his own older brother after escaping thanks to Yuta's sacrifice, where he saw his brother, sitting in his swivel chair but his expression wasn't something he imagine in his face in times like this.

Jeno knows that he was in beyond joy, for what? For what he had done of course.

Taeyong wasn't surprised in his younger brother's sudden entrance, because he already anticipated his appearance before him after capturing Yuta.

Taeyong was guilty for endangering his brother and his friend but he need to get Yuta out of the picture because he's a big hindrance to the plan of Bae Sooji and Lee Seunggi, but he can't show any weakness right now and he had already decided, to cut him off - he won't be safe in the Lee family anymore.

"Why did you do that hyung?" Jeno asked.

"Do what?" Taeyong asked, feigning innocence.

"Don't play dumb with me hyung, I know you know what I'm talking about." Jeno said.

"There are many things I've been dealing with ever since the day started, so could you please be specific?" Taeyong ordered.

Jeno could feel his spine shivering because of the tone of his voice, he was being cold but... "About capturing Yuta hyung! He-"

"He's a traitor Jeno," Taeyong cut him off. "He's leading a group that's against our true objective. Just like Kang Seulgi, Son Seungwan and Jung Jaehyun. He deserved to be punished."

Jeno looked at his brother with surprised face, "Aren't you not the same...?"

"The same? Who? Me?" Taeyong laugh in rather amusing way before looking at his brother again, with a blank gaze that pierced him through the eye. "It was all an act Jeno. I need to do that to know who's our real enemy."

Jeno stood in his place, frozen because of what he said. So, it was him after all, the one who sabotage their plan, the one who made Yuta sacrifice himself to save him and Jaemin, and the one who dangerously exposed him to harm. But this one, was the loving brother he admired and loved with all his heart.

"How did it come to this?"

Jeno was at lost of words and felt a lump in his throat. Still processing the fact that his brother, the only person whom he thought will never betray him, betrayed him. Made their situation worst and even aiding them to erase the human deities which are his only true friends.

Because of him being the second son of the main branch of the Lee family, Jeno was really careful of choosing his friends, and except for Jaemin, everyone who tried to befriend him was after of what he has and where he came from. However, he met those who are from the orphanage, Renjun, Haechan, Chenle, Yeri, Lucas, Xiaojun, Hendery, Yangyang and many more, who befriend him because they want to be friends with him and Jeno was able to see that and accepted him. His time with them was the best, many unforgettable memories were made with them that he treasures so much and those memories were his escape to the hell he was living through. After knowing that they were human deities, Jeno's feelings towards them didn't changed and even wanted to work hard to protect them. Because he knows that they didn't befriend him to gain his favor and helped them from the threat of the deity hunting, because they were, Jeno would have seen that in the first place and there friendship would have been ended a long time ago. Jeno treasured his friendship towards them which made him more motivated to stop his family's plan to protect and keep them out of danger, freeing them from the threat, and he was willing to betray anyone who's against what he wishes... But to think it was his own brother.

"Who are you?" Jeno finally found his voice.

Taeyong smirked, "Who else? I'm Lee Taeyong, you're older brother Lee Jeno."
