Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 241

Chapter 241: STEALING THE SPOTLIGHT

"THANK YOU for the treat, Gunwoo Oppa!"

"Thank you for the treat, Gunwoo Hyung!"

Song Gunwoo smiled when the children that he brought to a famous fast-food restaurant known for its fried chicken and pizza.

They had 13 people in their group.

10 children (including Song Gunwoo and Shin Jina) and 3 adults (the coach, assistant coach, and Shin Geon).

Anyway, Song Gunwoo wanted to feed the kids with premium meat.

But the little athletes wanted fried chicken and pizza.

The coach said it’s okay for the kids to eat them, and that he had already asked for the kids’ parents’ permission.

And that was how they ended up in that fast-food restaurant.

"You’re welcome, kids," Song Gunwoo said, smiling. "Enjoy your meal."

He then sat at the table where Shin Jina and Shin Geon were.

The coach and the assistant coach were busy watching the kids eat.

Since the young athletes with them were from ages 6-9, the adults couldn’t afford to take their eyes off of the children.

"Young Master, Chairman Song asked me to remind you not to eat too much greasy food," Shin Geon said when Song Gunwoo sat next to Shin Jina. "The master is worried about you having an upset stomach again."

Right.

Too much greasy food makes my stomach upset.

"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle," Song Gunwoo said, smiling. "Don’t worry, I’ll only have a few bites."

"This is why you’re so frail, Oppa," Shin Jina teased him. "You only eat grass."

"They’re called salad and vegetables, Jina-ya," Song Gunwoo said, laughing softly. "I do eat meat, you know? I just eat them with vegetables, so you think I’m only eating "grass.""

But he understood why Shin Jina thought Song Gunwoo was eating less.

She’s an athlete, so she eats a lot— she especially likes her protein.

Anyway, Shin Jina just clicked her tongue at Song Gunwoo’s explanation.

"Jina-ya, don’t click your tongue at the young master," Shin Geon scolded his daughter. "And don’t use your injured arm too much. I told you— I’ll feed you."

"Abeoji, I can use both of my hands," Shin Jina said proudly. "I’m an amphibian, remember?"

Song Gunwoo, who was sipping his soda at the time, almost choked on his drink.

On the other hand, Shin Geon sighed and shook his head. "You must mean to say that you’re an ’ambidextrous’ person, Jina-ya. In a simple explanation, an amphibian is any organism that is able to live both on land and in water."

Shin Jina’s face turned red as if she were embarrassed, and then she avoided his father’s scolding look.

Song Gunwoo smiled while watching the father-and-daughter duo.

To be honest, he was worried that Shin Jina must be down after watching the competition earlier.

Jeong Mira, her rival, became the champion, after all.

"Oppa, don’t look at me like that," Shin Jina said, maybe trying to change the subject so her father wouldn’t scold her for her mistake earlier. "You’re trying to see if I’m sad after seeing Jeong Mira bag the championship, right?"

Song Gunwoo just smiled while Shin Geon flinched.

Uncle Geon is, of course, worried about his one and only daughter.

But since Shin Geon was an awkward person, the ahjussi could only put two chicken legs on Shin Jina’s plate as a way to console his daughter.

"To be honest, I felt bitter while watching Jeong Mira win."

Song Gunwoo nodded.

Jina is still a child, so it’s natural for her to feel that way. No, actually, even adults would feel the same. And it’s okay— it’s only natural for humans to feel envy and jealousy towards other people.

It would be weirder had Shin Jina said she felt happy seeing Jeong Mira win.

We all know that it should have been her.

But, alas, luck was more powerful than talent.

"Then I heard people saying that Jeong Mira only won because I wasn’t there," Shin Jina said. "They talked loud enough for Jeong Mira to hear."

Oh.

Song Gunwoo did hear people saying things like that at the sports arena earlier.

"I felt bad for Jeong Mira," Shin Jina said while munching on her fried chicken. "Yes, maybe Jeong Mira’s family indirectly caused my misfortune. But that didn’t mean I would have won had I been there to compete. I’m not that arrogant to think I’d win again, just because I’ve beaten Jeong Mira before. I don’t like it when spectators assume things like that towards athletes." She then put the bones on her plate. "Plus, what kind of adults would say hurtful things like that towards a kid?"

Aww.

Shin Geon looked proud of Shin Jina’s maturity and generosity.

And I feel the same way.

"You’re really a good kid, Jina-ya," Song Gunwoo said while gently patting Shin Jina’s head. "I’m already looking forward with your comeback."

’WHIMSICAL Rock Golf Club.’

It was the kind of club with membership offered only to the elite.

And the said membership fee costs 2 billion won.

The fee was that high because of the world-class facilities there.

It’s like you’re in a different country.

The ultra-modern clubhouse at Whimsical Rock Golf Club looked like an art museum because the design was made by the architectural firm that built the national museum.

They also built the mansions that our family owns.

Anyway, the massive clubhouse had an expansive foyer, with marble floors and walls, as well as a broad circular staircase that spanned three levels.

So fancy.

The clubhouse had long wall of windows. And, from there, the club’s golf course dramatically climbed up and dove down the side of a mountain.

Needless to say, the view was stunning.

There was a collection of lush green fairways, stone and wooden bridges, deep ravines, rocky streams, giant splotchy bunkers, extensive rock outcroppings, and even waterfalls.

And the best part?

Grandpa owns this golf club.

"Gunwoo-ya, are you ready to beat the daylights out of your opponents today?"

Pfft.

Song Gunwoo couldn’t help but chuckle at what his Omega grandfather said.

Today was the day his grandfather was hanging out with his colleagues.

And his colleagues decided to bring their grandchildren for bragging purposes.

Of course, my grandpa won’t lose to them.

"Gunwoo-ya, thank you for granting your grandfather’s silly request."

"There’s nothing silly about your request, Grandpa," Song Gunwoo assured his Omega grandfather. "I love golf, and I love playing with you."

"I know, sweetie. But I also know that you don’t like socializing with old geezers."

Song Gunwoo chuckled.

He remembered that when he was eight years old, he had a short rebellious phase.

This was embarrassing to admit, but he once threw a tantrum when his Omega grandfather’s colleagues joined them while he was playing golf.

In his defense...

"I was young back then, Grandpa."

"You’re still a baby, Gunwoo-ya."

I don’t know how they made Jeong Mira’s father quit as the chairman of that committee, but I didn’t ask since I’m not that interested.

***

Let’s see what else he knows.

He probably didn’t expect for me to answer this way.

And I made Grandpa extra proud of me.
