Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181: SONG GUNWOO (1)

GARAM let out a sigh as soon as he answered Song Sihyuk’s call. "What is it this time, Hyung?"

Yes, ’this time.’

After all, it had been a week since Song Sihyuk kept bothering him for the smallest things.

And, yes, the Alpha had returned to his house next to Garam’s.

"I haven’t had breakfast yet, Garam-ah."

"So what? You’re an adult, Hyung. You can cook."

"I’m feeling under the weather today."

"Then order food delivery, Hyung. SG Group— your company— is the biggest internet provider in the country. Use that and download a food delivery app."

"I don’t know how—"

"Again, use the internet your company provides and look it up."

"I want to eat your home-cooked meal, Garam-ah."

"Hyung, I’m hanging up."

"I have something to discuss about Gunwoo."

"Hyung, if you’re just saying that..."

"No, I’m serious. I already have the documents that I want to show you."

Garam knew that Song Sihyuk was only making an excuse.

But he couldn’t completely ignore it since it was related to Gunwoo.

We’re supposed to be co-parenting our son, after all.

Garam let out a sigh. "Fine— come over for breakfast."

***

"GUNWOO-ya, do you know how to swim?"

Garam raised an eyebrow at Song Sihyuk’s question while they were having breakfast.

Why is he suddenly asking that to our son?

"No, Daddy," Gunwoo answered while shaking his head. "I’m scared of big water!"

"Son, it’s good to be wary of big bodies of water," Song Sihyuk said. "But if you know how to swim, it will be less scary."

Oh?

"Do you want to learn how to swim with me?"

Gunwoo’s face instantly beamed. "Yes, Daddy! I want to learn how to swim with you!"

"Very well," Song Sihyuk said, clearly satisfied. "How about sports? Do you want to learn Taekwondo?"

Gunwoo tilted his head to one side. "What is that, Daddy?"

"It’s the sport that I used to play when I was your age," the Alpha explained. "Do you want to be strong like Daddy?"

Of course, their son would eagerly nod at that.

"I want to be strong like Daddy!" Gunwoo said eagerly. "How can I be strong like you, Daddy?"

"You can be strong if you start playing Taekwondo."

"Hyung, you have to discuss things like that with me first," Garam complained. "Why are you going straight to our son?"

"I’m just having a nice conversation with our Gunwoo," Song Sihyuk said, acting innocent. "Of course, you still have the last say. But we should also consider our son’s opinion."

Haaah.

Song Sihyuk hadn’t changed at all.

This hyung is still good at gaslighting!

"Dad, I want to learn how to swim!" Gunwoo said, his eyes sparkling while looking at Garam. "And I also want to play Taekwondo!"

Naturally, Song Sihyuk looked proud after his plan worked perfectly.

Garam could only sigh and shake his head.

It’s so hard to coparent with a gaslighter.

***

"TEACHING our son how to swim is non-negotiable to me, Garam-ah."

Aigooya.

Garam, now having coffee with Song Sihyuk in the living room after Gunwoo had left for school, thought the Alpha was coming on strong.

Sihyuk Hyung is standing on business.

"It’s for survival, Garam-ah," Song Sihyuk said, and he was really starting to sound convincing. "I was only eight months old when Appa and Abeoji enrolled me in a swimming class. If I weren’t a Song, I would have become a professional swimmer."

Garam wanted to scoff.

But he knew how good Song Sihyuk was at using his body.

I don’t mean it in a lewd way, okay?

"Gunwoo is already four years old, but it’s better to start late than never," Song Sihyuk said. "So, please consider letting our son learn how to swim."

"Fine— I’ll enroll Gunwoo in a swimming class since he seems to be interested," Garam said. "And I agree with you. Knowing how to swim is a useful skill to have."

Song Sihyuk looked relieved.

"But does our son really need to do sports now?" Garam asked worriedly. "I know there are younger toddlers who do sports already. But I can’t help but worry. I see Gunwoo as a baby even now. And you want him to play Taekwondo? What if our son gets hurt?"

"You can’t avoid getting hurt when you’re doing sports, Garam-ah."

"You’re not convincing me when you say it like that, Hyung."

"Well, you’re not stupid," Song Sihyuk said, shrugging. "You know that people who do sports get injured most of the time. But it’s necessary for Gunwoo to learn how to defend himself as early as now."

Oh.

So, it was for self-defense.

"My parents enrolled me in different sports when I was young for that reason," Song Sihyuk said, pausing for a moment before dropping a bomb: "And it was pretty useful during that one time I got kidnapped."

I never got the chance to meet him again after Song Sihyuk took over his business. And I forgot about him when I became busy as an idol.

He’s my parents’ friend, after all.

He’s a Dominant Alpha, after all.

Nope, let’s not meet Kang Byungho-ssi— he’s a dangerous person.

Whether I like it or not, Gunwoo is the son of a chaebol— my son really needs to learn how to protect himself.

***

He used the nasal spray that his Dad taught him how to use, but it didn’t work.

So, he ended up crying after he felt irritable.

"Gunwoo-ya, are you in pain?" Teacher Aera asked worriedly. "Let’s bring you to the clinic."

And then Teacher Aera carried him.

Gunwoo cried harder because Teacher Aera’s scent was making his nose and head hurt.

But Dad and Daddy said I shouldn’t tell people that they smell bad...

"Dr. Cho, can you take a look at Gunwoo?" Teacher Aera asked the doctor wearing a face mask when they arrived at the clinic. "He keeps crying, but he’s not saying anything."

"I see. Leave it to me, Miss Kim."

"Oh, I can wait here. Miss Nam took over my class."

"Miss Kim, I’m sorry to say this. But you’re oozing with pheromones. I believe you’re about to get your heat cycle."

Gunwoo didn’t understand the conversation.

But he noticed that Teacher Aera’s face turned red, and then she excused herself before leaving the clinic.

"Teacher..."

"Don’t worry, Gunwoo-ya," the doctor said. "Miss Kim just left to take her medicine. She’ll be back soon."

Gunwoo scrunched his nose.

Even the doctor doesn’t smell good...

"Gunwoo-ya, I’m Dr. Cho," the doctor said. "I’m here to help you get better. But I can only help you if you tell me what’s wrong."

Gunwoo kept his mouth shut.

I can’t say that both Teacher Aera and Dr. Cho smell bad.

"You don’t want to make your dad and daddy worry, do you?"

Gunwoo immediately shook his head. "I don’t want Dad and Daddy to be worried about me."

"Then you have to help me make you feel better," Dr. Cho said. "Tell me, Gunwoo-ya. Where does it hurt?"

Hmm.

Dad cries when he’s worried about me. I don’t want Dad to cry again.

So...

"My nose hurts, Doctor," Gunwoo said, scrunching his nose again. "Doctor and Teacher Aera smell bad."

"Smell..." Dr. Cho stopped talking, and then he suddenly laughed. "So, you can smell pheromones?"
