"BAM-AH, this is your new home!"
Garam smiled while watching Gunwoo give Bam, the kitten, a house tour.
Meanwhile, Song Sihyuk was busy placing the plastic bags on the kitchen island. Every single bag contained stuff for the kitten.
That’s how much stuff we bought for Bam.
"Just leave them there, Hyung. I’ll arrange them later," Garam said while rolling the sleeves of his sweatshirt. "You have an appointment this afternoon, don’t you?"
Song Sihyuk’s flight was tomorrow, but the Alpha’s schedule today was full.
I told Hyung I can bring Gunwoo to the shelter alone, but he insisted on going with us.
"Yeah. I don’t think I’ll be home for dinner, so go ahead and eat with Gunwoo without me." Song Sihyuk then checked the time on his watch. "I’ll head to the school after this, then I have a meeting with Abeoji. We’ll probably have dinner together."
Haaah.
His schedule is so pack when he’s leaving for New York tomorrow.
"Hyung, I can go to the school and talk to the director," Garam said. This should be how co-parenting was done, after all. "Why don’t you move your meeting with Abeoji so you could rest early?"
"Garam-ah, I’m really fine. You know I have a strong stamina as an Alpha."
"But you’re a dying Alpha, Hyung."
"Garam-ah, I’m not dying."
"I’m sorry, Hyung. But I overheard your conversation with Kim Heedo last time. You’re avoiding Dr. Seong because you don’t want him to check on your condition."
"No, it’s not like that," Song Sihyuk said while shaking his head. "I just don’t want that bastard to nag at me."
"Are you sure you’re not sick anymore, Hyung?"
"I’m taking my meds diligently. And the fact that we live together now helps a lot. Your pheromones literally heal me," Song Sihyuk said. In fairness, he sounded convincing. "How about you, Garam-ah? Are you not feeling sick anymore?"
"Yes, Hyung. I’m taking the pills," Garam said, avoiding Song Sihyuk’s gaze. "I’m fine."
Except it was a lie.

"LET’S make this quick, Director Eliot Cha," Song Sihyuk said to the director of Gunwoo’s school. "I won’t sue you for what happened to my son."
Director Eliot Cha looked relieved by what he said.
I’m not yet done, though.
Song Sihyuk went to the director’s office despite his busy schedule.
But he didn’t even touch the high-quality tea served to him. He just quickly went straight to the point.
"I want compensation, though."
"Of course, Vice Chairman Song," Director Eliot Cha said, nervously wiping the bullets of sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief. And that was quite funny since the room was pretty cold. "Please tell me how we can regain your trust."
"Oh, it’s simple," Song Sihyuk said, raising his hand to call over Lee Chan— his aide-slash-chief of secretary. "You just have to implement the new laws that I want to see in this school to make sure my son will be safe here."
Lee Chan handed a thick envelope to the confused Director Eliot Cha.
Song Sihyuk then turned to his legal representatives, and then he nodded— a sign for the lawyers to start explaining the changes that he wanted to see in school.

"UNCLE Kyungmin, I still can’t smell the fruits and the flowers!"
Garam felt his heart break after hearing what Gunwoo said to Dr. Seong Kyungmin.
For his son’s Smell Regaining Therapy, they decided that Dr. Seong Kyungmin would lead it.
And, for today, only Dr. Seong visited us.
Since he was comfortable with his husband’s friend, he allowed the doctor to start the therapy at their house.
Plus, Gunwoo doesn’t want to leave the house since he wants to keep playing with Bam.
Hence, Garam was now in the living room with Gunwoo and Dr. Seong Kyungmin.
Dr. Seong said it’s fine if I observe them.
"It’s alright, Gunwoo-ya," Dr. Seong Kyungmin said, consoling the child. "Don’t feel upset."
I was nervous at first because I read that cats usually don’t like their beds.
The pheromones are too strong!
I got caught.
