Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha
Chapter 58: RUMOR HAS IT

Chapter 58: RUMOR HAS IT

BEAUTIFUL.

Delicate.

Androgynous.

Those were the stereotypes that surrounded Omegas.

Today, Garam learned that stereotypes existed for a reason.

Cho Dongpyo was beautiful, delicate-looking, and androgynous. He was so pretty that his gender didn’t matter anymore. To be honest, Cho Dongpyo was like the epitome of a ’classic Omega.’

And he’s also a young master from a prestigious family...

"Garam-ah, how long are you going to browse Cho Dongpyo’s pictures? I’m starting to get jealous."

Oh.

Garam was having breakfast with Song Sihyuk, but he barely touched his chicken salad.

When he raised his head, he found the Alpha giving him a cold look while sipping his coffee.

"Hyung, who broke up with whom?"

"I did."

"Crazy. Why did you dump someone like Cho Dongpyo-ssi?"

"Aigooya. I didn’t know my wife was nosy."

Tsk.

"I thought you didn’t care about my affairs before we got married, huh?"

Ahem.

I did say that...

"Garam-ah, I admit that Cho Dongpyo is beautiful. But my preferences changed when I met you," Song Sihyuk said, flashing a charming smile at Garam. "I’m into Lim Garam and his adorable ass now."

Aigoo.

Is that supposed to be romantic?

Garam was about to apologize for being nosy, but he got distracted when he got a message from Lee Eunsang.

’Hyung, look at this news article. It says Oh Hyunju has retired as an idol...’

What?

Garam quickly clicked the link that Lee Eunsang sent to him.

And, true enough, the news article really spoke about Oh Hyunju leaving his group for ’health reasons.’ Moreover, Oh Hyunju also announced that he would live as a ’commoner’ from now on.

That means he’s leaving his celebrity life.

"Hyung, Oh Hyunju announced his retirement..."

"Who’s that again?"

"The Omega who bullied my group member."

"Ah, right," Song Sihyuk said indifferently. "Since he’s pretty well-known to the public, we can’t simply make him disappear. So, we allowed him to announce his retirement. Rest assured, he’s already blacklisted in the industry."

"I see. Thank you, Hyung."

"You’re welcome. Just tell me if some bastard bothers you again."

Garam just nodded. "Okay, Hyung."

"Are you done with your breakfast?" Song Sihyuk asked. "You need to take your miracle pills and inhibitor before we leave."

Right.

I still need to take miracle pills, and Hyung always makes sure I do.

"Hyung, now my medicines remind me of Cho Dongpyo."

Song Sihyuk let out a sigh. "Alright, that’s it. We’re buying your medicines from another pharma from now on."

Pfft.

Garam was only teasing Song Sihyuk, so he couldn’t help but laugh at the Alpha’s reaction.

Now I have Hyung’s weakness.

"It’s nice to see you laughing, Garam-ah."

"Hmm?"

"You’ve always been calm, but you were always either sad or angry five years ago. It seems like you’re more relaxed now. It’s nice to see."

"If Hyung wants to continue seeing me like this, then don’t do things that will make me angry," Garam said seriously. "Don’t make me regret the decision I made five years ago."

Song Sihyuk smiled confidently. "Of course, I’ll make you happy, babe."

Unfortunately, all Alphas do is lie.

"HYUNG, you bought a lot..."

Of course, Garam didn’t return to their dormitory empty-handed. He brought groceries and other stuff that he thought the kids would need at home.

Most of the things he brought were expensive, though.

It can’t be helped since Sihyuk Hyung’s staff shopped in Aera World Mall.

Yep, Garam wasn’t the one who did the shopping.

Song Sihyuk didn’t like seeing him do ’menial works’ such as going to the grocery.

Fortunately, the Alpha allowed him to go to an upscale bakery café to buy bread and drinks for his group members.

Yeah, I need Sihyuk Hyung’s permission even for something trivial as that.

Garam knew it was wrong, but he decided not to think about it too much.

"Thank you for the snacks, Hyung."

"Don’t mention it," Garam said, waving his hand dismissively. "How are you, kids?"

They were gathered in the living room while sharing the variety of bread and pastries that Garam brought for the kids.

Instead of the dining table, they just sat on the floor around the coffee table.

"Especially you, Eunsang-ah."

"I’m doing well, Hyung," Lee Eunsang said, smiling. "I’m going to have my first counseling session tomorrow."

Oh, right.

Lee Eunsang decided to go to therapy since the kid was traumatized after getting drugged and kidnapped.

Our maknae hesitated at first, but I’m glad he made that decision.

"Good thinking, Eunsang-ah," Garam said while patting the kid’s back lightly. "You did well. Thank you for gathering the courage to go to therapy."

Lee Eunsang beamed. "Actually, I already feel healed after I found out that Oh Hyunju has already retired."

Pfft.

It was rare for Lee Eunsang to talk like that, so Garam was amused.

Hence, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

Finn and Kwon Jigu also laughed.

"It’s nice that we’re gathered like this again," Garam said, smiling. "If only Hanseo Hyung were here, then we would have been completed. We should make the most of it today since we’ll be busy again soon."

"But it’s you who’s super busy these days, Garam Hyung," Finn said, and he was actually looking at Garam suspiciously. "You haven’t started your solo activities yet, Hyung. And, yet, we could barely get a hold of you."

Oops.

Garam suddenly felt guilty.

I can’t tell these kids that I was hospitalized recently because I became an Omega.

Yeah, he was able to keep something as big as that a secret from everyone— including his group members and the media— because of Song Sihyuk.

Hyung can really buy silence.

"I’m sorry, kids," Garam said, smiling apologetically. "I’ll make it up to you soon."

"Hyung, actually, I heard something strange from our seniors while I was in the gym this morning," Kwon Jigu said hesitantly. "Those sunbaes are saying that you have a sponsor, Hyung."

Aigoo.

Garam was actually quite shocked.

There’s a rumor like that spreading about me?
