"WHO THE hell are you?"
Now that Gong Hanseo was looking at the violent man, he immediately recognized him. "It’s me, Min Sunbae-nim," he said bluntly, addressing Lee Min, who was the sunbae that Kang Daeho married after graduating from uni. He knew because, as he said before, he used to have romantic feelings for Kang Daeho. "Gong Hanseo from the English Literature Department."
Yeah, his major had nothing to do with music.
But being in the English Literature Department meant reading a lot, and that helped him widen his vocabulary and improve his communication skills— especially when it came to talking and writing in English.
His upgraded skills helped him become a better composer/producer.
In the end, his major ended up being useful in his music career.
"Gong Hanseo," Lee Min muttered himself, and then he nodded as if he finally remembered Gong Hanseo. "The washed-up idol?"
Gong Hanseo’s career as a soloist-slash-producer was now longer than his time as an idol.
But most people still remembered him as Gong Hanseo of Victorious Boyfriends— his former group.
Of course, it was fine with him.
After all, he loved his group and his group members.
However, Gong Hanseo could tell that Lee Min was mocking him.
Well, it was obvious since the violent man used the word "washed-up."
This bastard is probably one of those people who look down on idols.
"I remember you," Lee Min said, sneering. And then he pushed Gong Hanseo. "But you have nothing to do with this, so get the fuck out of here."
Argh.
Gong Hanseo grimaced not only because Lee Min hit him in the shoulder, but also because his stomach was aching again.
However, he didn’t budge.
He may not be an Alpha, and he may not be as huge as Lee Min.
But Gong Hanseo was still pretty toned since he liked working out.
Plus, his muscles weren’t for ’fashion’ only— he had the strength that matched his build. That was why he didn’t budge even when Lee Min pushed him.
If push comes to shove, I might get into a physical fight.
It was embarrassing to get involved in a brawl when he was already in his early forties, but he’d do it to protect someone.
"Min Sunbae-nim, please stop."
"Or else what?" Lee Min asked mockingly, pushing Gong Hanseo harder this time. "What’s a Beta like you can do to an Alpha like me?"
Gong Hanseo smirked. "Why don’t you throw the first punch and find out, bastard?"
Lee Min obviously looked pissed after getting cursed at.
And, yes, Gong Hanseo was provoking the violent Alpha on purpose.
There were CCTVs all over the parking lot.
Hence, if Lee Min threw the first punch, then he could hit the bastard back and claim that it was self-defense.
I just have to be careful so that it won’t appear as excessive self-defense on my part.
"What, scared of a Beta?" Gong Hanseo said, smirking again. "You’re all bark and no bite, huh? Some Alpha you are."
That did it.
Gong Hanseo received a punch in the face.
Thankfully, he managed to move his face in time so he didn’t get his nose broken. He got hit in the cheek, though. Hence, the taste of blood in his mouth.
"Hanseo-ya!"
Gong Hanseo ignored Kang Daeho’s cries and punched Lee Min back.
But since he was a bit shorter than the Alpha— and that bastard moved fast— his knuckles only landed on Lee Min’s jaw.
Tsk!
Then Lee Min quickly moved to punch Gong Hanseo in the face again.
This time, Gong Hanseo raised his crossed arms to block the punch.
However, it was a mistake.
Lee Min only acted like he was going to punch Gong Hanseo in the face.
But, in the last moment, the violent Alpha changed the trajectory of his punch.
Instead of Gong Hanseo’s face, his stomach received the blunt blow from Lee Min’s fist.
Argh!
Not the stomach...
Gong Hanseo’s insides were already making him feel like crap.
So, when he got punched hard in the stomach, he instantly fell on the ground— his body curled up in pain.
Fuck...
"Hanseo-ya!"
Kang Daeho tried to help Gong Hanseo, but Lee Min pushed the Omega down hard until Kang Daeho fell on the ground.
This bastard...!
Gong Hanseo tried to get up and help Kang Daeho, but Lee Min stepped on Gong Hanseo’s stomach.
He thought he was going to die from pain.
It didn’t end there, though.
Lee Min continued stomping on Gong Hanseo’s stomach, occasionally kicking him in the head.
Hence, Gong Hanseo used his arms to protect his head from the bastard’s kicks.
"What do you think you’re doing to my lover, you bastard?!"
That voice that he wouldn’t mistake for someone else...
Kyungmin Hyung?
Gong Hanseo heard a loud thud after Lee Min abruptly stopped kicking him.
I’m safe now.
***

No wonder my stomach hurt so bad earlier.

Kyungmin is patient and kind. I’ve never seen him use violence before, and we’ve been dating for several years now.
