Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 215

Chapter 215: BEYOND THE HAPPY ENDING

GARAM was aware that he couldn’t be completely happy all the time.

There were ups and downs.

First, the happy thing...

Shortly after marrying Sihyuk Hyung for the second time, he met his fan— Park Sohee, an Omega married to Kim Heedo.

And Kim Heedo was a close dongsaeng to Song Sihyuk.

He immediately became friends with Park Sohee.

Then the ’down’ of this newly-formed friendship was when Song Sihyuk, that crazy bastard, had accidentally shot Kim Heedo— the heir of Ilsung Group.

He understood why the accident happened, but they had to pacify the other party.

After all, Ilsung Group was the chaebol of all chaebols.

Hence, there was only one solution.

"Let’s send Sihyuk Hyung to prison. One of his uncles committed embezzlement, so," Garam said to his in-laws with a heavy heart. "It’s better than making an enemy out of Ilsung Group. If we don’t pacify them, they might end up killing my husband. I don’t want to make my friendship with Sohee awkward, too."

Thankfully, his in-laws accepted his suggestion.

It was for the best anyway.

And it’s not like Hyung will suffer in prison— he’ll still be treated like royalty there.

Plus, Song Sihyuk deserved it.

His husband was kind to him and their son, but outside their family, his husband was a ruthless man— especially when it came to running SG Group.

He had always known that nobody could be a billionaire ethically.

Even so, he still married into a chaebol family.

Hence, he didn’t have the right to complain.

Since me and my son benefit from my husband’s wealth, I’d be a hypocrite if I continue criticizing his family.

However, Garam could tell that Song Sihyuk was trying his best to be ethical recently.

But old habits die hard.

Yeah, it was one of Song Sihyuk’s uncles who embezzled the money.

But Hyung let it happen because it benefited him, so I should take this opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Convincing his in-laws to send Song Sihyuk to prison was easy.

The hard part was explaining the situation to Song Gunwoo.

Thankfully, his baby was smart.

"Daddy did something bad, so he has to go to prison," Song Gunwoo said in a sad voice. "I’ll miss Daddy, but it’s the right thing to do."

"Your daddy’s arrest might be reported in the news," Garam said carefully. "If your classmates bully you for it, tell me right away."

"It’s okay, Daddy. My friends aren’t bad kids. And my classmates won’t bully me."

"Aww. Your classmates must be good people then."

"Yes, but they’re also smart kids. Even if Daddy goes to prison, it doesn’t change the fact that our family owns SG Group. I’m still untouchable, Dad. So, please don’t worry about me too much."

Hearing that from his six-year-old son sent shivers down Garam’s spine.

He swore he would raise his baby as normally as possible once Song Sihyuk was in prison.

Anyways, his husband only stayed in prison for a year.

The President pardoned him after his Alpha father-in-law bribed him.

Chaebols truly run this country.

And when Song Sihyuk finally returned home...

"Do you resent me, Hyung?"

Garam tried to play it cool, but he was actually nervous.

When he sent Song Sihyuk to prison, many people called him cold-hearted.

But his in-laws, even his husband’s cousins, protected him.

He was totally fine, though.

After all, as a former idol, he knew how to ignore trolls and bashers.

However, Song Sihyuk’s opinion was a totally different matter.

"Why would I resent you, honey? You sent me to prison because it was better than Ilsung Group going after my throat. Plus, if Ilsung Group and SG Group went on a war, our country’s economy would have collapsed. It wouldn’t affect us much, but the poor would only become poorer. So, your decision was very logical."

"I know, but that must have hurt you."

"Yes, I did feel a bit betrayed. But that’s exactly why Park Sohee agreed to the punishment you decided, honey. Kim Heedo’s little Omega real punishment for me accidentally hurting his husband wasn’t me being sent to jail— but it was you sending me to prison yourself, Garam-ah."

Ah, Garam figured out that much.

Having said that, he didn’t resent Park Sohee.

He would have done the same, even worse, if Song Sihyuk almost died, too.

"I deserve it, though. So, I don’t resent you, honey. But I don’t want to get sent to prison again, so I’m going to lead SG Group in a more honest way once I’m back."

"It must have been tough being in prison..."

"Huh? Not really. They turned the biggest prison cell into a standard hotel suite. I could do whatever I wanted, and they let me work out for an hour a day. Plus, I had access to the internet while I was there. I was able to stream your songs, and I made everyone listen to your album. For the entire year, only your songs— both old and new— were allowed to be played there."

As a ’commoner,’ Garam wanted to curse at how unfair life was, even though he already knew that Song Sihyuk would still be treated like royalty in prison.

But as the Alpha’s husband, he was relieved that Song Sihyuk didn’t suffer.

"You seemed like you enjoyed your vacation so much that you barely called home, despite all the privileges you had. I thought you had forgotten about our Gunwoo."

"That was my punishment to myself— to barely contact you. I know that you were feeling conflicted while I was in jail, honey. As a law-abiding citizen of our country, it must have pissed you off to see how chaebols are above the law. But I also know that, as my husband, you were relieved that I wasn’t suffering."

Garam thought Song Sihyuk could read his mind.

"I genuinely regret getting into a shady business with my uncle. So, I thought I should reflect while I’m in prison. That’s why I barely called home. Plus, I don’t want Gunwoo to see me in that state."

"Have you learned your lesson, Hyung?"

"Yes. I’ll try to lead SG Group as honestly as possible from now on. I won’t get into shady businesses anymore. Staying in prison wasn’t hard for me, but not being able to come home to you and our son was hell. Park Sohee is scary— he knows how to punish someone like me without dirtying his hands."

Garam smiled after hearing his husband praise his young Omega friend.

"Hyung, I hope you don’t resent Sohee for what he did. I’d like to stay friends with him and his family. Plus, our Gunwoo is fond of their twins."

"Sure, you can keep being friends with Kim Heedo’s husband. I don’t resent him. In fact, I’m glad that he didn’t encourage his in-laws to kill me. Even I wouldn’t want to make an enemy out of Ilsung Group."

"Hyung, don’t do something that might embarrass Gunwoo again."

"Was he bullied because I was sent to jail?"

"Not blatantly, but there were kids who talked badly behind his back."

"Give me names, honey."

"I already took care of that, Hyung."

"You’ve changed a little, Garam-ah."

"If you say I gained weight, I’ll kill you."

"You’ve become fiercer, honey— like a mama bear ready to protect papa bear and baby bear from the world."

"Welcome home, Hyung."

It’s about a man looking for the dog that some thugs stole from him.

After all, Yun Dujun-ssi is known for only working on noir and action films.

The kids really like each other.

Well, that could happen since they have that much power over our country...
