"Jihoon...I..." Junghoon groaned, closing his eyes. "I need him."
"Pathetic," his brother muttered, staring down at him. "You are truly pathetic, little brother."
The other tried to lunge at him, only to be pulled back by chains, binding him to the wall.
He snarled, violently pulling at the chains. They dug into his skin, darkening the bruises on his wrists.
Junghwan chuckled, unbothered. "Stop trying to break free. You'll only hurt yourself even more."
Seeing that Junghoon was still struggling against the chains, he tried another tactic. "You wouldn't want to arouse Jihoon's suspicion, would you?"
At the mention of the omega's name, the alpha stopped struggling. His red eyes glared at Junghwan. "Don't mention his name. He is mine."
"I get it, I get it." His brother raised his hands in surrender. "Why didn't you mark him already? It would have made your rut easier."
Junghoon closed his eyes tiredly. "He wasn't ready for it. I couldn't force him."
