Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 180

Chapter 180: BLOODY HELL

"DRINK this, Garam-ah."

Garam nodded and accepted the bottled water that Song Sihyuk handed to him.

Of course, the lid was already open.

Hence, he could immediately take a sip.

Ah, so refreshing.

Garam also felt better after sitting in the comfortable backseat of Song Sihyuk’s car.

The only thing making him uncomfortable was the fact that the Alpha was sitting next to him while looking at him intently.

Hyung is staring too much.

"Have this for now," Song Sihyuk said, handing Garam a biscuit after he took a sip of water. "Have a proper meal at home. I’ll call the chef at my parents’ house and tell him to prepare something nutritious for you."

"You’re not coming home with me, Hyung?" Garam asked. "We need to talk, don’t we?"

"Yes, but that can wait. I have something else to do, so go home first."

Ah.

It wasn’t that hard to figure out that Song Sihyuk would return to the clinic and confront Cho Dongpyo.

After all, they hadn’t left the area yet.

The car was parked in front of the building where the clinic was.

"Don’t fight Dongpyo-ssi," Garam said sternly. "He didn’t force or threaten me to give my blood to him. Like I said, we made a deal."

"I’ll hear your explanation later," Song Sihyuk said, avoiding Garam’s gaze. "I’ll just talk to Cho Dongpyo first."

Garam ignored Song Sihyuk, and then he met Jung Han’s gaze in the rearview mirror. "Han-ssi, can we go to the nearest fast-food restaurant you can find? I’m craving burger."

Jung Han looked at Song Sihyuk nervously as if waiting for his boss’ go signal.

Tsk.

It was a shame that Shin Geon was in the other car.

He was too dizzy earlier to complain when Song Sihyuk made him ride his car.

Of course, Hyung didn’t let Geon Hyung come with us.

"If you don’t want to eat with me, then I’m going with Geon Hyung," Garam said. He tried to get out of the car, but the door was locked. "Han-ssi, open the door—"

He stopped talking when his stomach growled loudly.

Ah, right.

I only had a sandwich for breakfast earlier.

"Jung Han, drive us to the Sharp Knives," Song Sihyuk said, talking about the famous steak restaurant in Gangnam. And then he looked at Garam. "They serve wagyu burgers there."

Garam rolled his eyes. "A regular burger should be fine."

***

YES, Garam said he just wanted a regular burger from whatever fast-food restaurant.

However, just one bite of the wagyu burger that Song Sihyuk ordered for him changed his mind instantly.

Wow.

I didn’t know wagyu burgers could be this good since I enjoy wagyu beef as it is.

There wasn’t really a fast-food restaurant in the area.

Hence, they ended up going to that steak restaurant.

"Is it good?" Song Sihyuk asked while cutting the steak that he ordered for himself. "They also have other types of burgers here."

"This is fine," Garam said, acting nonchalant, even though he was already doing a victory dance in his head. It was the best burger he had in his life yet. "This wagyu beef is okay. Let’s take home some for Gunwoo and your parents."

Song Sihyuk just nodded, and then he changed the topic. "So, what’s the deal you made with Cho Dongpyo? Why did you give your blood to him?"

Hyung really got straight to the point.

"I gave Dongpyo-ssi my blood in exchange for yours," Garam said. Since he had already been caught, might as well come clean. "Rest assured, he’ll stop bothering you for your pheromones from now on. If he does, tell me. We signed a contract, so we can sue him if he breaks the terms."

"Did you do that for me, Garam-ah?"

"I did that because I don’t want to feel indebted to you," Garam argued, because he didn’t want Song Sihyuk to misunderstand. "You’re getting weak because you keep giving your blood to Cho Dongpyo, Hyung. I don’t want you to die early. Gunwoo will be heartbroken."

"Is Gunwoo the only person who’ll be heartbroken if I die?"

"Don’t be ridiculous, Hyung. Your parents and Dr. Seong will be heartbroken, too."

"You know what I’m talking about, Garam-ah."

Aigooya.

"Instead of being heartbroken, I’ll feel guilty if you die early, Hyung," Garam said. He didn’t want to get too sentimental, so he just said that. It wasn’t like it was a lie anyway. "After all, you’re donating your pheromones to Cho Dongpyo to pay for my medicine."

"Garam-ah, you don’t have to feel indebted to me. I did that because I want to— because I’ll die if you die."

Ahem.

Hyung is coming strong.

"Well, I can’t let us both die and leave Gunwoo an orphan," Garam said, trying to stay calm despite Song Sihyuk’s strong confession. "Hyung, it’s over now. Dongpyo-ssi only needs a pint of my blood. My medicine has already been paid, and he’s not going to bother you with your pheromones anymore. So, let’s just forget about Dongpyo-ssi from now on."

Song Sihyuk frowned, obviously displeased. "Garam-ah, I can’t let that bastard get away with dragging you into this mess."

"I was the one who reached out to Dongpyo-ssi first."

"What?"

"Did you think he approached me and offered me that deal?"

Song Sihyuk nodded, still looking confused. "You’re a careful person, Garam-ah. And you’re so indifferent to people you don’t like that you either ignore them or just give them the outcome that you want. Like you can’t be bothered with them."

I don’t want to waste energy on things that can be solved by either ignoring them or giving them what they want.

Hyung will do what he promises to do.

Good.

***

It was the first time that Garam got scolded by his Alpha father-in-law.

He wouldn’t lie— it was scary.

I know Abeoji is only worried about me, but he’s still intimidating.

"Don’t you know how worried we were when we heard that you came to Cho Dongpyo’s clinic on your own? Yes, you were with Shin Geon. But had Cho Dongpyo decided to hurt you, Shin Geon wouldn’t have been enough to protect you."

"Abeoji, stop scolding Lim Garam," Song Sihyuk complained. "He has the right to meet people he wanted to meet."

"Be quiet, son."

Song Sihyuk looked like he was about to talk back again, but Garam gently tapped the Alpha in the knee.

I’m not a child who needs protection.

"I understand, Abeoji," Garam said weekly. "I’m sorry for making you worry."

Song Seokju nodded. "As long as you understand, Garam-ah."

"Your abeoji isn’t mad at you, dear," Lee Wonjae said gently. "You also didn’t have to apologize to us. We just don’t want anything bad to happen to you."

Garam smiled and nodded. "I know that, Appa. Thank you for worrying about me."

"Did you do something bad, Dad?" Gunwoo asked worriedly. "But Dad is a good person. Why is Grandad scolding you?"

Aigoo.

"It’s because your grandfather is a mean person, Gunwoo-ya," Song Sihyuk said, causing Song Seokju to glare at him. "So, don’t like your grandfather too much. You should only like me and your dad."

Aigooya. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"LIM GARAM-ssi’s pheromones are amazing," Cho Dongpyo said. "It seems like his pheromones have been greatly affected by Sihyuk’s pheromones. They almost share the same components now."

Cho Dasom and Cho Darae, his sisters, looked at him curiously.

"Really?" Cho Dasom asked. "Do you think we can use Lim Garam’s pheromones to create more miracle pills?"

"Miracle pills earned us a lot of money before, but only Lim Garam had successfully transitioned into an Omega. We were forced to stop the production of miracle pills because of the angry clients accusing us of being fraud," Cho Darae added. "It would be nice if we could re-introduce a more effective miracle pills in the market."

"That can wait," Cho Dongpyo said. "Right now, I’m more curious about Sihyuk and Lim Garam’s son."

Cho Darae snapped her fingers. "Right, Sihyuk has a son."

"But why are you curious about the child?" Cho Dasom asked. "The child is yet to manifest since he’s just four years old."

"If that child’s parents have special pheromones, then maybe the child is also special," Cho Dongpyo said, smiling. "Maybe we’ll get to witness an early manifestation soon."
