IT WAS really a funny twist of fate.
Who would have expected that the childhood friend of his parents, who had gone missing a few years ago, would end up being the husband of a powerful Omega?
Garam certainly didn’t see that coming.
Are my parents looking out for me in heaven?
Whatever it was, he had a feeling that he just hit the jackpot.
"I met Gerard when I came to the U.S for a short vacation, right after that brat Song Sihyuk took over my small business," Kang Byungho said, sharing his love story that no one asked for excitedly. "But, as you already know, my short vacation quickly turned into a permanent stay. This is a bit embarrassing to say, but I got Gerard pregnant before I was supposed to return to Korea."
Oh, that was surprising.
Kang Byungho was a Beta, after all.
But is it possible for a Beta to get a male Omega pregnant?
There was a reason why Alphas suited male Omegas the best.
However, Garam didn’t think much of it when he remembered that Kang Byungho’s husband was the vice president of the wild Omegas.
Mr. Gerard probably created a medicine that allowed him to get pregnant with a Beta’s baby.
Garam thought it was none of his business.
"That’s what made me decide to stay here in the U.S," Kang Byungho said, smiling. "Gerard and I got married after he gave birth to our twins."
Oh, wow.
Kang Byungho was just a few years younger than Garam’s parents.
But since the three grew up in an orphanage, they all became friends despite their small age gap.
I think Byungho-ssi is in his late forties or early fifties.
And Gerard seemed to be just a bit younger than Kang Byungho.
Ah, Mr. Gerard must have a hard time giving birth at his age, then.
Anyways, the two looked happily married.
"Congratulations, Byungho-ssi and Mr. Gerard," Garam said, smiling. He was already being extra nice and polite to Kang Byungho to earn some brownie points. "I’m glad to know that you’re living well, Byungho-ssi. I have always wondered what happened to you. I actually wanted to look for you, but..."
"Yeah, I know. You don’t have to say it— I can tell that you lost your freedom after marrying that bastard— I mean, Sihyuk-ssi," Kang Byungho said, nodding as if he was sympathizing with Garam. "I’m sorry, Garam-ah. Because of me, you met Sihyuk-ssi. I was shocked when I heard that the two of you got married. But I thought I didn’t have the right to meddle with your personal life, so I didn’t. I regret that, though."
Aww.
Garam could already tell that this meeting was in his favor, but he remained calm and acted unsuspecting.
I have to act like I’m not expecting anything.
"You’re the only son of the hyung and noona who took care of me when I was in the orphanage. I was supposed to look after you when your parents died. And, yet, I let you marry a bad man."
Song Sihyuk scoffed. "Byungho-ssi, stop acting like I’m not here."
Kang Byungho ignored Song Sihyuk and continued talking to Garam as if he were talking to a child. "Let me make it up to you now, Garam-ah. How can we help you?"
JACKPOT.
Even so, Garam still remained calm as he spoke. "Byungho-ssi, I appreciate your offer. But I don’t think you can decide that on your own." He smiled apologetically at Kang Byungho before looking at Gerard. "I’m sorry, Mr. Gerard. We got sidetracked."
"It’s alright, Garam," Gerard said. He looked quite cold, but he spoke kindly. His eyes were also warm, unlike his vibes. "Now that I know that you are the child of my husband’s precious childhood friends, it changes things. I can’t ask for your son’s pheromones anymore. After all, your child is like a grandchild to my husband."
Right?
Kang Byungho looked relieved that Gerard was willing to back down.
But, of course, Garam wasn’t that shameless.
Plus, I don’t want to owe them a debt.

Now I’m sure that my parents are looking after me, wherever they are.
