Chapter 75: The unknown truth

"Got any idea who I'm talking about now?" Jackson grabbed Soobin's hair more tightly and pulled his head towards himself.

"Urg!" Soobin still looked madly at Jackson even though he was breathing heavily and groaning out of pain. His face had some blood stains, but there was no pain in his eyes. It was as if he was used to it. His whole body was covered with bruises and dust.

"You have quite the nerve!" Jackson went insane because of the hatred and as he was seeking revenge, his blood started boiling after seeing Soobin's cold gaze. He struck Soobin's head against the prison gate twice and made him bleed. His blood started falling and covered his whole face as well as his eyes.

"He'll die! Please let him go! Please!" Beomgyu put his hands together and begged while crying. The scenery was too cruel for him. He couldn't bear it anymore. His vision got blurry because of the tears in his eyes. He never thought he would see this side of Jackson. He never could imagine he'd be this brutal. Moreover, Beomgyu had no idea why Jackson was doing all of it.

"See? How he's begging for your life? Don't you think he's wasting all his tears over nothing? Should I tell him how despicable you are?" Jackson pulled Soobin's hair again and made him look at Beomgyu. Soobin's vision was all blurry so he couldn't see Beomgyu's face clearly nor could he see how much tears Beomgyu was shedding for him. All he could see Beomgyu was sitting in front of the gate, holding the rods of the prison. Soobin couldn't say anything. He slowly closed his eyes. He thought it'd be his last day. He really hoped he could see Beomgyu for the last time. Though he was angry and his heart was broken, he couldn't be rude to his feelings anymore. He wanted to burst into madness but he couldn't. He wanted to touch Beomgyu for the last time. He extended his hand towards him but he could touch nothing. He threw a smile though it couldn't be seen because of the blood on his face. He wished he could at least say how much he liked Beomgyu. His body drooped as he was dizzy and finally he lost his consciousness.

"What do you think you're doing?" Mr. Won barged in with his men. He was looking furious as it was his son who was nearly dead. Seeing him, Beomgyu stood up and ran to him.

"Mr. Won! Please save him! Please!" He knelt down before him and begged him to save his man.

Mr. Won held Beomgyu's shoulder and made him stand up. He looked at his son and noticed how miserable his condition was. So, without seeing who his opponent was, he ordered his men to break the jail and get him. Jackson stood still inside the bar as he had no place to escape. He slowly put down Soobin's body and took the stick to fight with nearly twenty men. But before he could defend himself, he got caught by the people and dragged in front of Cha Won.

"Jack?" He was astonished by seeing the person who beat his son to death.

"M-mr. Won?" Jackson got afraid after seeing his face.

"Take them to the hospital and bring him with me." He ordered his men and patted Beomgyu. Then he walked away. Beomgyu saw some people went in and brought Soobin's body outside. Beomgyu could finally see the precious person. But seeing him closely, his heart started aching so much that he couldn't hold back his tears anymore. It was all his fault. If he wasn't being greedy and didn't listen to Jackson, Soobin would be fine now. Beomgyu held his bloody hand and noticed his hand was cold. As if he was nothing but a dead body. Beomgyu was stunned as he couldn't understand what he should do. He went with the guy who was taking Soobin's body inside a car. The car headed towards the hospital. Soobin's body was lying on the seat and Beomgyu sat beside him, holding his hand. He won't let go of the hand. He checked again and again if Soobin was breathing. Tears kept dropping from his eyes, but he didn't bother to wipe them.

Jackson's hands were tied up and he kept glancing at Cha Won with his guiltful face.

"Talk!" He was sitting in front of Jackson but didn't look at him. His face was full of worries as he couldn't ever think he'd have to see his son like this.

"I didn't know he was your son." Jackson replied shortly.

"Then, who do you think he was? And why did you beat him up so badly? Can you give him back to me if he dies?" He acted rather calmly. He couldn't understand why this person did it to his precious son.

"Then, can you give me my Mark back?" Jackson asked with a broken voice. His voice cracked since his eyes got teary.

"I'm sorry at your loss. I know he was killed. His father was also killed at that crash. He was my friend. And I still feel guilty for that. You might not know, but it was me who sent them to our enemy. You've heard about Mr. K, right?" He looked at Jackson finally.

"Hm. I've heard about him." he replied confusedly.

"Then, you must know he's a human trafficker?" he asked.

"What?" Jackson was surprised as he didn't know about it.

"I was informed that he was going to sell more than a hundred people that time. So, I asked for Mark's father to cooperate. I didn't know how, but *K* knew our moves from before. He sent his men to kill them. We had no idea about it. So, I couldn't protect them. I knew you were with them and you were alive. But I couldn't bring myself to meet you ever since. I didn't know how I should apologize or console. So, I remained silent. But I don't get the hang of why you kidnapped my son and beat him up like that. If it was my previous self, you wouldn't be alive yet. Moreover, I promised my son that I won't do anything like that again. But remember my word; if something happens to him, I won't let you go." There was no expression in his face as if he was saying the most normal thing.

"I'm sorry, but your son was at the spot! He came to check if we were dead or not! I saw him! He came to us but not to save us! I know you never had any intention to kill them. But why the hell did your son go there? All I could see was his face. I remember it clearly. There's no mistake or misunderstanding. I saw him… I… saw… him." Jackson started sobbing all of a sudden.

He clearly remembered Soobin's face. He was in the car when the car burst. He was injured like everyone, but he was saved by his lover. Mark covered him with his own body and that's how he could make it alive. And he was the only one who could crawl outside. That's when he saw Soobin coming to them. He tried to shout for help, but no sounds came out of his mouth. He heard the boy saying,

"Are they dead?" But after that, his ears got deaf and all he could hear was a loud beeping sound. His sight got blurry as well, but he saw the boy standing near to him, slowly getting further away from them.

"I might know now how you took it. I knew Soobin was there but I don't know why he showed up there either. We better ask Soobin about it…if…He.Make.It.Alive! Don't you think so?" He looked at Jackson and gave a very creepy smile as if he was gonna kill Jackson.

"I asked him but he never replied." he said and made the guilty look again. Cha Won had nothing to say anymore. He sighed and leaned on the chair he was sitting on. He also had curiosity about this matter. But Soobin never opened his mouth, but more like he never had the chance to talk about it with Soobin as he always ran away from home.
