Chapter 41: This Time Someone Rescue Me

[JIMINIE]

"Nooo!!!" Jiminie's cry tore through the room as they helplessly watched his heart shatter for the hundredth time.

Jiminie thrashed in the bed, crying for the man who had left him in his state of need. A man who had promised he would be here with him through and thrush.

King Agust had loved him wholeheartedly and Jiminie refused to believe that the king would leave him just like that. And so, he called out, cried his heart out for his erasthai, begged for the hundredth time and yet there was no sign of Agust.

The man was gone, with the wind, like he had not just broken him like that.

"I need to stabilize him, or knock him out so we can help him," Doctor Jung Hwa forced out as she saw how painful Jiminie was. She knew this wasn't the best of situations but damn, she wished Agust could agave started.

Jung Hwa had seen cases of mates leaving like this, but a part of her had hoped that the man who had gotten the alpha pregnant could stay. But then perhaps they were expecting too much from a devil who didn't give a fuck about anyone right?

"Tell him to come, please. Tell him I will let him fuck me. If he wants to, tell him I will let him use my body as he wants to. Please… tell him I will be obedient. Tell him I will step down as the Alpha if that is what he wants me to do.

"Anything… I will do anything just to see him again. Please, So Hee, please call him back. He listens to you, please tell him I'll submit. Tell him I won't fight him again. I will be a pet if that is what he wants me to be, please," Jiminie cried.

He was looking at So Hee who had covered her mouth to stop her muffles from coming out. She was in shock herself, because she had never seen Agust abandon someone he loved more than he loved himself.

She knew there was a reason for this, but she had also hoped that Agust could stay with Jiminie and heal him first. She knew what Agust was going to do, but that would never be any better if Agust wasn't here with Jiminie.

He had left Jiminie in his time of need and that was a scar that would forever be engraved in Jiminie's heart. So Hee knew this wasn't the best solution, but she had seen her brother cry in public for the first time.

She had never seen Agust shed a tear.

All the time, Agust was the one causing pain. He was the one ruining lives but this time, his heart had been broken, his life had been ruined and he had become a coward in front of the one person who meant the world to him.

"Do it," Luna Park said as she looked at her defeated son. Listening to her son and what he would do for Agust to come back, brought Luna Park to the reality that she hadn't loved her son enough.

Her son had been hurt by one too many items and she enabled it all. She had watched everyone break her Jiminie and she had never once been bothered to take any action.

Now the first person who loved Jiminie truly, with all his flaws, the one person who could give up everything for Jiminie, had also left him. Luna Park could see the pain in her son's eyes and her heart broke for her little boy.

Her baby had only ever wanted to be loved and even she hadn't done that. She had abandoned her son one too many times. She had been a cruel mother and nothing would ever erase that.

Here and now, she was once again taking Jiminie's chance to let out the pain in his heart, but then what else could he do as a mother who was just starting to rely on what kind of pain she had forced her son into?

What the hell was she to do when she didn't have the words to form a coherent apology?

"No, please don't… he's coming back… Xiao Xiao promised. He always keeps his promises. Please don't make me sleep," Jiminie begged frantically but then he was in too much pain and the fact that he was spread like that on the bed was heartbreaking.

There are so many realities for them to grapple with and the worst of them was stuck with Jiminie right now. What the fuck were they supposed to do to make things better for Jiminie?

"He said he doesn't want it!" Lee Tang said as he grabbed the collar off of Jiminie. He knew this was not going to help their case, but what else could he do? Everyone wasn't listening to Jiminie as usual and he couldn't be part of everyone.

He couldn't be a part of the people who encouraged his pain. He had to help and he could help him. He would help Jiminie out of this mess, that much he was certain of.

Jiminie watched defeatedly as his best friend fought with his mother, the Lycan enforcer, and even the doctor herself just to make sure someone was there for him. His broken heart was breaking even more than he could think of and it was ruining him.

"Listen to him… he doesn't want this," Lee Tang frantically fought as Luna Park struggled to get out of his group. The man was fighting everyone here for his best friend and he wanted to be relented.

Maybe he was insane for this, but then everything that had happened today was insane. It didn't make sense and it was hurting a lot. Someone had to be there for Jiminie no matter what the circumstances were.

They couldn't leave him like that just because Agust had left. That little fact pissed Lee Tang off so badly that he let out growls.

"You need to let them help him!" So Hee said once she had broken free of the grasp that Lee Tang had had on her.

She knew the beta was strong, but man he was a really motivated angry beta right now. He couldn't be blamed though because his best friend was in pain and it seemed like no one was truly listening to Jiminie and that was breaking Lee Tang's heart.

"Luna are you alright!?" the warriors who had been outside the door asked, as they bandaged the door to no avail. They could wrangle and it didn't sound so good, so they began kicking the door.

"Fucking hell," Kim So Hee grumbled as she cast a spell to release Jiminie from the holds and tied up his robe fast. So Hee knew Agust would kill her if someone else saw his Jiminie, and if ever word spread about what his Jiminie looked like.

Sure, Agust wasn't here at the moment, but So Hee loved her life more than anything and she wouldn't want to die at the hands of the one crazed man who screamed danger at every turn.

It was unhinged and crazy but the universe didn't give a fuck, so she had to make sure that people survived.

"Let him go!!" Lee Tang shouted as he kept fighting, and at that moment, the door opened, only for an already robed-up Jiminie to slip past the guards and rush outside, bleeding.
