"ARE YOU shooting a drama or what?"
Garam covered his blushing face with his hands after Cho Dongpyo teased him.
Well, if it were just Cho Dongpyo, then he wouldn’t have been that embarrassed.
However, the other Omega was with someone— an Omega like them.
That person must be Dongpyo-ssi’s partner.
To be precise, the Omega that Cho Dongpyo wanted to get pregnant.
Anyway, Garam and Song Sihyuk met the couple as soon as they stepped out of the room.
Luckily, no one else was in the lobby at the moment.
"Shut up, Cho Dongpyo," Song Sihyuk practically growled at the Omega. "And get out of our way."
"You don’t scare me, Song Sihyuk. And we’re not here for you," Cho Dongpyo said, scoffing. "Can you please put Garam-ssi down? My partner and I would like to talk to him."
"No—"
"Stop embarrassing your fiancé, Song Sihyuk. Do you want Garam-ssi to dump you again?"
Garam didn’t know that this day would come, but...
Thank you, Dongpyo-ssi.
"Tsk."
Song Sihyuk clicked his tongue in annoyance, but he carefully but Garam down.
My dignity has been restored.
Garam cleared his throat as he greeted Cho Dongpyo and the person next to him. "Please forget what you just saw."
"We saw nothing," Cho Dongpyo assured Garam casually. "By the way, this is Jared Reid, my partner."
"H-Hello. I’m Jared Reid."
Oh?
Jared Ried spoke in Korean, but he used informal language.
But Garam wasn’t sensitive about stuff like that.
And maybe he’s older than me.
Plus, Jared Reid looked meek to be rude on purpose.
Hence, he let it slide.
However, someone didn’t like it.
"Why are you talking down to my wife?" Song Sihyuk asked coldly while glaring at Jared Reid. "Since you spoke Korean, then you should know that talking to someone informally when you just met is very rude."
Jared Reid flinched, obviously intimidated. "I-I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to!"
"Jared is half-Korean," Cho Dongpyo explained while glaring back at Song Sihyuk. "He can understand and speak the language, but he’s a bit clumsy since he didn’t grow up in Korea. So, please excuse him if he sounded rude just now. He gets confused with our informal and formal language."
"It’s alright," Garam said, holding Song Sihyuk’s arm to shut the Alpha up. "Is Jared the same age as you and Sihyuk Hyung?"
"No, he’s the same age as you, Garam-ssi."
"Oh, then speaking casually is fine," Garam said, looking at Jared Reid. "If that’s okay with you, Jared-ssi."
"Yes, it’s alright. Thank you," Jared Reid said while nodding. "And I’m sorry for being rude earlier, Garam-ssi. I only relearned Korean after dating Dongpyo Hyung."
Garam just smiled and nodded. "So, why do you want to talk to me?"
"We just want to thank you for helping us, even though you have no reason to," Cho Dongpyo said. "And, yes, we’re aware that you did what you did to protect your son. Even so, we’re still grateful. Since you are precious to Kang Byungho-ssi, you could have just asked him to void our deal. I’m sure Gerard would have listened since he’s obsessed with his husband. So, I’m grateful that you honored our deal instead of taking the easy way out."
Ah, right.
That was an option.
"Gerard has become kinder and more generous to me since he thinks we’re friends. So, he’s been actively helping me and Jared get pregnant," Cho Dongpyo said. "That’s what we’re most grateful for. Thank you, Garam-ssi."
"I know that Dongpyo Hyung has hurt you and your family in the past, Garam-ssi. That’s why I’m extra grateful that you chose to help us, when you could have used this opportunity to have your revenge," Jared Reid said. "Thank you, Garam-ssi. You’re an angel, really."
"You got that right— my wife is an angel," Song Sihyuk said, acting smugly as if he were the one who got praised. "Only an angel would forgive and accept bastards like us. Including me, of course."
Right?
However...
"I didn’t help you out of pure intentions— I only honored our deal because I don’t want to deal with you again, Dongpyo-ssi. Let’s end our connection here," Garam said in a calm yet firm voice. "Having said that, I wish you and Jared to get pregnant the soonest."

"I ALREADY called my parents, and they said they’d love to spend more time with our son. But they asked if they could bring Gunwoo to a theme park in California. I said I’ll ask you first."
"Oh, it’s fine," Garam said while glued to his phone, checking the hotel that Song Sihyuk booked for them tonight. "I’m sure Appa and Abeoji will take care of our baby. Wait a moment. I’ll call Appa."
Song Sihyuk was driving the car, after all.
Hence, Garam videocalled his Omega father-in-law.
He wanted to see his son, too, after all.
"Appa, it’s alright. You can take Gunwoo to the theme park," Garam said. "Thank you. And I’m sorry for asking you to babysit my baby again."
"What do you mean ’babysit?’ Gunwoo is our grandson. Spending time with him is called a date and not babysitting."
Aww.
Garam was really glad that his in-laws adored him and Song Gunwoo.
"Daaad!"
Garam smiled when Song Gunwoo’s cute face occupied the entire screen.
His Omega father-in-law obviously handed the phone to his son.
"Hello, baby."
"Dad, Dad. Grandpa and Grandad will bring me to Mickey’s house!"
Oh, his baby was excited to meet that famous mouse, huh?
"Good for you, Gunwoo-ya. Bring some souvenirs for you and your daddy, okay?"
"Yes, Dad. I will! Is Daddy with you?"
"He is, but your daddy is driving," Garam said. Having said that, he still focused his phone on Song Sihyuk, so that his son could see his Alpha father on the screen. "Don’t be upset if your daddy can’t look at you, Gunwoo-ya."
"Okay, Dad! Hello, Daddy! I miss you!"
"I miss you, too, Gunwoo-ya," Song Sihyuk said, only glancing at the screen for a moment since his eyes were glued to the road while driving. "Have fun with your grandfathers. And behave. Your grandpa and your grandad are already old, so they might not be able to keep up with your energy."
Of course, his in-laws complained in the background because Song Sihyuk called them ’old.’
That made Garam chuckle.
Ah, I love this kind of peace.

"YOU KNOW, I’m thinking... Dongpyo-ssi is superior to me as an Omega."
Aside from the fact that I want Sihyuk Hyung right now, we also need to have sex for the medicine to make me a permanent Omega work.

My teasing has gone too far...
I’m laughing because...
"Hyung, do you really think I can top anyone— especially you? Well, maybe I could have if I hadn’t met you early," Garam said, smiling while shaking his head. "But you already claimed me when I was only 18. Meeting you back then changed the trajectory of my life completely. I can’t imagine topping someone anymore. Plus..." He cupped Song Sihyuk’s face between his hands. "I only want to do this with you, Hyung. I can’t imagine myself sleeping with anyone else. You’re the only one I want."
