Today was a chaos afternoon in the Duan Family. Seojun was framed by Phoenix the fifth son of the Duan Family. Phoenix was sitting on the couch crying to his parents, Seojun on the other hand was leaning against the wall sucking on a lollipop while he listened to Phoenix sob stories.
"Mom, dad is it because I return brother doesn't like me?" Phoenix asked while he wiped his tears and tried to suppressed his tears. The three sisters and two other brothers pointed at Seojun.
"Seojun! Our family took you because our brother went missing when he was ten years old but how dare you try to cover it what isn't yours," Emma who was the eldest daughter of the Duan Family twenty-six years old.
"Yeah, Seojun, you are a good for nothing, not only that the amount of trouble you have gotten is too much to count why did Grandpa even bring a good for nothing like you back?" Faith the second daughter twenty-three years old snapped right back.
"Why bother all he does is sleep and eat," Maxwell the oldest son twenty-seven years old replied
"Yeah he is useless and only knows how to bully others," Ryan the second son twenty years old said while he glared at Seojun who chewed on the green apple.
"Mom, dad why bother with him? Our brother has returned send him back to countryside," Luna snapped she was nineteen years old. Yes this was his life for the past four years even before Phoenix was found which was just last year when Phoenix was found the amount of schemes he has been through is far too many to count. He cracked his knuckles.
"So you said I pushed you in the water?" Phoenix asked with a gentle smile. Seojun raven hair was tied back in beautiful ponytail.
"Brother I know you hate that I return and I took your place but brother…" Phoenix replied as tears streamed down. Seojun smiled ever so brightly they were outside without even a second thought Seojun kicked Phoenix in the pool.
"There I kicked you in the pool," Seojun said he took another bite of green apple.
The chaos escalated with alarming speed. The scent of burning silk and precious metals filled the air, mingling with the acrid tang of smoke. Seojun, amidst the swirling flames and rising plumes, seemed utterly unbothered, a strange, almost joyful expression on his face. He twirled a burning scarf around his fingers, his movements graceful and almost mesmerizing despite the surrounding destruction.
"Honestly," he drawled, his voice barely audible above the crackling fire.
"The sheer lack of aesthetic sense in this collection is appalling. All these gaudy baubles and ostentatious fabrics… it's simply dreadful." He tossed another handful of jewelry into the blaze with a dismissive flick of his wrist.
Felix, having finally managed to compose himself enough to react, bellowed from below.
"Seojun! Stop this madness! You're destroying everything!"
"If you dare touch my motorcycle or Bao Bao the next thing that burns is that damn greenhouse," Seojun said he than stopped burning the jewelry and the clothing design he walked back outside.
The moment he sat down Seojun smiled like he was just an innocent flower.
"Mom, dad don't blame brother," Phoenix replied while he wiped his tears and Seojun rolled his eyes.
"Mom, dad! He shouldn't be here, he isn't even blood related we took him in four years ago because grandpa forced us but now," Faith said while she looked at Seojun with disgust.
"Now he is nothing to us, he has done so many schemes against our dear brother," Ryan finshed.
"Yes I also agree, all Kowloon City knows about this good for nothing, he either coursing trouble or finding someone to offend how many times did we have to clean up his messes?" Maxwell asked he was even more angry as he spoke.
"That is right mom, we have done our part so what if he just seventeen years old?" Luna asked she turned her head.
"Mom, dad, will other suffer he is used to this lifestyle," Phoenix replied in a weak voice but he was secretly happy.
Seojun rolled his wrist around as if he was ready to do a great beating.
"Seojun come here and apologize to Phoenix, after that you will be punished for a month no allowance," Felix snapped at Seojun who rolled his eyes.
"I rather die no thanks," Seojun said he crossed his legs while he grabbed another green apple.
The room fell silent, the only sound the crackling of the fire and Seojun's leisurely chewing. He didn't even bother to look up, his gaze fixed on some distant point beyond the walls of the opulent mansion. The air thickened with tension, a palpable weight pressing down on everyone present. Felix's face was a mask of barely contained fury, his knuckles white as he gripped the armrests of his chair.
"Do you hear me, boy?" Felix finally roared, his voice echoing through the room.
"Apologize to your brother!"
Seojun finally deigned to glance up, his ice-cold ocean eyes meeting Felix's with an unsettling lack of emotion. A slow, almost languid smile stretched across his lips.
"Apologize?" he echoed, drawing out the word with deliberate mockery.
"Give me one million bucks," Seojun replied. Felix felt like this boy will be the death of him.
"Seojun! Do you think we won't kick you out?" Fiona snapped she stormed over and tried to slap him but Seojun crossed his arms.
"A million for my apologize," Seojun said again.
"Youu….you…." Fiona was so angry. Phoenix stood up and walked over to Seojun.
"Brother, though we aren't blood related I forgive you," Phoenix said acting all pitiful as if the world owns him a million bucks.
"You forgive me?" Seojun asked pointing at himself before he chuckled he grabbed Bao Bao his lazy fluffy dog that was actually a spirit animal.
"No need I don't want your forgiveness you need to pay a million bucks for to recognize your forgiveness," Seojun replied. Phoenix took a deep breath he had never meant such a shameless person in his life!
Seojun before he could even do anything his suitcase, duffel bag, and even Bao Bao were throw out.
