Chapter 21: A CHEATING HUSBAND?
A YEAR after Song Sihyuk left for New York, he stopped sending personal messages to Garam.
The Alpha stopped texting, calling, and sending video messages to him.
But Song Sihyuk’s financial support didn’t stop.
I still receive my monthly allowance on time. Plus, all my bills are paid before the due date. It’s just Sihyuk Hyung’s messages that disappeared from my daily life.
At first, Garam didn’t care.
But, soon, his curiosity got the better of him.
He tried to reach out to Song Sihyuk first— but to no avail.
Then he reached out to Jung Han who was also in New York.
"I’m sorry, Garam-ssi. But the young master is really busy these days. He’ll reach out to you soon."
That was what Jung Han said...
... again and again, the same excuse all the time.
Garam got fed up, so he stopped trying to reach out to Song Sihyuk.
Plus, he got busy anyway because of the success of their group.
But now that he wasn’t that busy anymore...
I’ll hear that Sihyuk Hyung is sponsoring someone else now?!
"Garam Hyung, is Eunsang home yet?"
Oh.
Garam didn’t realize that he was already spacing out while watching TV with Finn.
Only the two of them were in the dormitory at the moment.
Gong Hanseo was still in the military.
Kwon Jigu was filming a variety show.
On the other hand, Finn had just returned from his appearance at the Paris Fashion Week. So, the kid was determined to laze around in their dorm.
That was the same for Garam who had just gotten out of the military.
But is it really okay to relax when our group is on the verge of flopping?
"Eunsang must still be filming his new drama," Garam said, trying to get his mind off Song Sihyuk. "Why?"
Finn fell silent for a moment before opening his mouth. "Hyung, Eunsang was actually supposed to play an important supporting character in that drama. But, at the last minute, his role was taken away from him. Eunsang only found out that his role went from a supporting character to practically a side character on the day of the shooting."
"What?! Why am I only hearing this now?!"
"Eunsang asked us not to tell you, Hyung. But I thought you should know."
"Very good. You did well, Finn," Garam said, nodding. "So, tell me. Who’s the bastard who stole our Eunsang’s role?"
Finn let out a long sigh. "It was Oh Hyunju, Hyung— the Omega visual of the rookie group ’ENERGENES.’
Ah.
That group that had been stealing all their brand deals?
Moreover...
Garam clenched his jaw.
Oh Hyunju— the one being sponsored by Song Sihyuk, apparently.

IT WAS impulsive, but Garam decided to visit Lee Eunsang while their maknae was filming in an amusement park.
Of course, only the actors and the production staff members were there.
It’s closed.
Anyway, he was glad that he dropped by to check how Lee Eunsang was doing.
I can’t believe they’re making Eunsang wait this long when he only has one scene and one line that they could have filmed earlier.
Garam knew that it was the fate of actors playing extra or minor characters.
However, he had a strong feeling that there was bullying involved there.
When he brought coffee and snacks to the entire crew— because he didn’t want to come empty-handed— he noticed that most of them were avoiding his gaze as if they were guilty.
Even the director.
Hah!
These bastards...
Garam wanted to grab Lee Eunsang and take him home, but when he arrived, their maknae was finally being filmed.
Hence, he decided to endure.
He just didn’t know how long he could stay like that, though.
But the bastard director kept making our Eunsang repeat his lines even though it seems fine to me.
"Hello, Garam Sunbae-nim!"
Hmm?
A beautiful young man approached Garam.
I’m a Beta, but I can already tell that this dude is an Omega.
Yeah, it was his prejudice talking.
"I’m Oh Hyunju from ENERGENES."
Ah, Garam was right.
So, is this Omega the one Sihyuk Hyung is sponsoring behind my back?
"Hello," Garam said, smiling and bowing to the Omega because there were eyes watching them. "I’m Lim Garam from ViBo. Thank you for looking after our Eunsang."
"Pfft."
Excuse me?
Garam was flabbergasted when Oh Hyunju snorted as if making fun of him.
This little rude bastard...
"Sunbae-nim, can you convince Eunsang to leave the show?" Oh Hyunju asked, smiling "innocently." "I actually don’t want him here, but he doesn’t know how to read the room. So, please tell him to just quit before I do something that might harm his reputation for good."
Hah!
So, this is how this little bastard wants to play this, huh?
"You’ll do something to harm our Eunsang?" Garam asked, smirking. "You or your powerful sponsor?"
"Sunbae-nim, you can’t embarrass me because everyone knows I’m being sponsored. I actually want everyone to know. After all, it will be easier for me to work when people know not to cross me."
How arrogant.
"You have that much faith in your sponsor?"
"Why wouldn’t I have faith in my sponsor?" Oh Hyunju asked haughtily. "Is there anyone here more powerful than SG Group’s Song Sihyuk?"
Wow.
I didn’t even ask, and yet this Omega just name dropped my husband.
Now Garam was pissed.
"Are you shocked, Sunbae-nim?" Oh Hyunju asked mockingly. "You must be, right? After all, it’s not every day you get to hear a chaebol’s name—"
"You’re not the only one with a powerful sponsor here, you little bastard."
"Sunbae-nim, you must not be aware, but SG Group is a chaebol family second only to Ilsung Group—"
"I know that very well," Garam said coldly. "Oh Hyunju, why don’t we have a dinner date? You and your Song Sihyuk. Me and my sponsor." He then smiled, hiding his sneer. "Then let’s see who really has a more powerful backer between us."
"Fine. Actually, your timing is perfect, Sunbae-nim," Oh Hyunju said confidently. "After all, Sihyuk Hyung has just returned to Korea last night."
What the fuck?
Garam was pissed, but he maintained a fake smile.
Sihyuk Hyung, you’re already back?
