Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha
Chapter 54: YOUNG AND DUMB

Chapter 54: YOUNG AND DUMB

GARAM had taken pride in the fact that he was mature for his age.

But talking to Dr. Seong Kyungmin now made him feel as if he were a dumb kid.

No, I can’t accept that.

"I accepted both Sihyuk Hyung’s marriage and business proposals at the time to survive. If it weren’t for Sihyuk Hyung, I wouldn’t be here today. My stepbrother wanted to sell me back then, and he might have succeeded if Sihyuk Hyung hadn’t helped me," Garam explained calmly. He hated how he sounded like he was trying to convince himself, but he couldn’t do anything about it. "I’m in a better place now, but that doesn’t mean I have forgotten my deal with Sihyuk Hyung. He waited patiently for five years for me to turn into an Omega, so he deserves to finally get his return on investment."

Dr. Seong Kyungmin let out a long sigh. "Are you prepared to live the life of an Omega?"

"I’m not sure, but I really don’t care. I don’t think my life would have a drastic change just because I became an Omega anyway."

"Don’t look down on Omegas, Garam-ssi. They suffer a lot for simply being born with pheromones that attract Alphas."

Hmm?

Oh.

Garam’s face flushed when he realized how dismissive he sounded.

As a Beta, he had always viewed Alphas and Omegas as people who lived in another world.

Because most Alphas and Omegas are only attracted to one another.

That was why, even though he knew that Omegas suffered from Alphas most of the time, he still felt a bit desensitized.

After all, I also know that some Alphas protect their Omegas fiercely.

Hence, he made a mistake.

"I made an ignorant comment, Doc," Garam said, ashamed of himself. "I’m sorry."

"It’s alright, Garam-ssi," Dr. Seong Kyungmin said, patting Garam’s head gently. "Now that you have manifested as an Omega, your lifestyle is about to change. I know Betas received a basic education related to Secondary Gender. But you still need to receive a thorough orientation about Omegas, Alphas, and pheromones. Our hospital offers lectures for newly awakened Omegas and Alphas. You can either enroll in a general class or have a private one. The latter will be expensive, but I’m sure that won’t be a problem."

Garam nodded. "I’ll take the private lecture, Doc. I don’t want other people to find out that I’m an Omega now..." He trailed off, and then he gasped when he realized there might be a problem with his plan. "Dr. Seong, how can I hide that I’m an Omega now when other Omegas and Alphas can smell my pheromones?"

The idol industry was dominated by Omegas.

Plus, there were plenty of Alphas who were actors and actresses.

I’ll get caught.

"Don’t worry about that, Garam-ssi," Dr. Seong Kyungmin assured him. "I’ll prescribe you an inhibitor that’s specifically made to mask your pheromones."

Wow.

I’m relieved that something like that exists.

"Thank you, Doc," Garam said, and then he paused when an idea popped into his head. "Dr. Seong, I know you’re busy. But can I get the lecture from you?"

"I don’t mind, but you should ask Song Sihyuk first," Seong Kyungmin said, sighing while shaking his head. "Garam-ssi, you’ll now experience first-hand how possessive Alphas are over their Omegas."

Why does it sound ominous?

***

"NO— you’re not going to receive a private lecture from Seong Kyungmin."

Garam almost dropped his precious (and expensive) wagyu burger because of what Song Sihyuk said.

His husband returned to his room after getting the food that he craved earlier.

Yes, I’m so hungry I forgot about my diet.

Fortunately, he could digest solid food now.

All he ate the entire day was porridge.

So, he was in a good mood because he finally got to eat meat for dinner.

But his good mood was immediately shattered because of his contract husband.

"Why can’t it be Dr. Seong, Hyung?" Garam asked calmly. He was pissed. But getting angry would get him nowhere. When dealing with Song Sihyuk, he had to extend his patience. "Dr. Seong is your friend, and he’s also nice to me. That’s why I trust him."

"Exactly," Song Sihyuk said, raising his head to give Garam a stern look. "I don’t like how you’re getting closer to Seong Kyungmin."

"But he’s your friend, Hyung. What’s wrong with getting along with Dr. Seong?"

"You don’t have to get along with any of my friends."

"Is it because Dr. Seong is also an Alpha?"

"If you already know, then stop asking."

"You’re being ridiculous, Hyung."

"You’ll learn everything you need to know as an Omega from Shin Junho," Song Sihyuk said, ignoring what Garam said. Then the Alpha wiped the sauce off the corner of Garam’s mouth with his thumb. "Shin Junho is an Omega, and he was a nurse before he married Shin Geon. As far as I know, Shin Junho also used to give lectures to newly manifested Omegas. So, he can do the job. That’s one of the reasons I hired him, since I’m expecting you to turn into an Omega."

Garam was momentarily distracted when Song Sihyuk licked the sauce off his thumb.

Omo.

That was hot...

"And Seong Kyungmin told me he prescribed an inhibitor to you. Next time, consult me first before you ask for any medicine."

Okay, that ruined the magic.

"Why do I need to consult you first?" Garam asked, knitting his eyebrows. "Dr. Seong is an expert, Hyung. I’m sure he knows more about pheromones than you do."

"I need to know what goes in and out of your body."

"Are you crazy, Hyung?"

"I own your body, Lim Garam."

Garam couldn’t refute that, but it still pissed him off.

"So, you need my permission first before you take any kind of medicine. Of course, that also applies when you want to use sex toys," Song Sihyuk said, smiling as if he didn’t just say something crazy. "You can’t put anything in you that I didn’t approve, babe."

’Babe,’ my ass!

Garam clenched his hands tightly.

Perhaps Seong Kyungmin was right all along.

Maybe I really made a mistake when I sold my body to Sihyuk Hyung...

***

THE BRAT is upset.

Song Sihyuk usually didn’t care about other people’s feelings, but it didn’t feel great when Lim Garam gave him the silent treatment.

His adorable wife hadn’t talked to him from the moment they left the hospital.

So, there was an awkward silence in the car.

My babe isn’t even looking at me.

What was so interesting about the passing cars and bright skyscrapers outside the window?

"Garam-ah, it’s not nice to give me a cold shoulder," Song Sihyuk said sternly. "If you’re upset with me, use your words. I don’t like being ignored. Do you?"

Lim Garam flinched, and then he finally turned to him. "I’m not ignoring you on purpose, Hyung. It’s just that my parents taught me that if I have nothing nice to say, then I should just keep my mouth shut."

Pfft.

"Is that why you only curse me with your eyes whenever you’re upset with me?"

"I don’t curse you mentally, Hyung."

"Then what do those dirty looks mean?"

"I’m just calling you crazy most of the time. Or a horny dog."

Song Sihyuk burst out laughing. "Thank you for being honest, babe."

"Hyung is laughing again as if I said something funny," Lim Garam said, sighing while shaking his head. "Well, at least one of us is happy."

Aw.

"Did Hyung make you sad?" Song Sihyuk said, gently grabbing Lim Garam’s face to force him to look at him. "What does Hyung have to do so you’ll stop sulking?"

"You can start by not talking to me as if I were a child."

Pfft.

"Alright."

"And I’m not sulking, Hyung."

"Uh-huh."

"I want to sleep in my group’s dorm tonight, Hyung. I’m worried about Lee Eunsang. Plus, I need to explain to my friends about some stuff."

Haaah.

To be fair, Song Sihyuk wasn’t planning to touch Lim Garam tonight because his adorable wife was still weak.

But that didn’t mean they couldn’t cuddle.

How can we do that when he wants to go back to their dorm?

If Song Sihyuk denied Lim Garam’s request, then his adorable wife would only sulk again.

So, there was only one way to solve the problem.

I need a reason to make Lim Garam come home with me.

"Do you need to go there tonight? We have a guest waiting for you at home, Garam-ah."

"Who?"

"Mija, the shaman child. Do you remember her?"

Lim Garam’s face beamed. "I remember her, Hyung. You said Mija was taken in by your parents, right?"

That was correct.

I kicked Mija out of my penthouse as soon as I convinced Lim Garam to live with me.

It wasn’t like the child was his responsibility.

"Yes, Mija is living with my parents now. And Mija seems to have taken a liking to you, Garam-ah. She got worried when I told her that you were in the hospital, so she insisted on visiting you tonight. But if you really want to return to your dorm, then I’ll just tell Mija to return tomorrow."

Everything Song Sihyuk had just said was pure bullshit.

It’s true Mija is living with my parents, but the child isn’t waiting for Lim Garam at my place.

In fact, Mija didn’t really care about Lim Garam.

But I can just ask our people to send the shaman to my penthouse.

"No, it’s okay. You don’t have to tell the child to go back," Lim Garam said while shaking his head. "I want to see Mija, Hyung."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Hyung."

"How about your group members?"

"I can just visit them tomorrow," Lim Garam said. "Let’s buy yummy foods for Mija first, Hyung. What does she like?"

"Pastries," Song Sihyuk lied with a straight face. How would he know what the shaman kid liked? He just knew what Lim Garam liked. Plus, buying food would buy him time. "Let’s buy pastries for you and the child."

I should ask my father to send Mija to my place before we finish buying pastries.
