Married For Now-Chapter 142: UNLIKELY ALLIANCE

SHORT BOB hair.

Sharp, judgemental eyes.

A uniform that Sohee recognized as from the #1 all-girls high school in the country.

SG Group’s shaman is a high schooler.

If Kim Heedo didn’t inform him in advance, he would have been shocked. Thankfully, his husband already told him the story before Lim Garam and ’Mija’ arrived at Shaman Jung’s residence in the temple.

Apparently, the kid was the old shaman’s disciple that SG Group took in after the previous shaman passed.

"Oppa, you’re both lucky and unlucky."

Sohee flinched.

He couldn’t take the kid’s words lightly.

She’s young, but she’s still a shaman that even a cranky person like Sihyuk-ssi trusts.

"But the god I serve wants to help you for some reason," Mija said while nodding. "They promise to increase my divine power if I protect you from the misfortune headed your way."

"That’s also what the god I serve told me," Shaman Jung said cheerfully. "Mija-ya, should we work together?"

"Sure, Ahjussi."

"Don’t you need Vice Chairman Song Sihyuk’s permission first?"

"I do what I want," Mija said casually, shrugging. And then she gently pointed at Lim Garam who was carrying the sleeping Gunwoo in his arms. "Plus, Garam Oppa gave me the permission to help Sohee Oppa and Heedo Oppa."

Shaman Jung turned to Lim Garam.

"Yes, sir," Lim Garam said politely while nodding his head. "I want to help Sohee-ssi with any way I can."

Aww.

Sohee looked at Lim Garam with sparkling eyes despite Kim Heedo’s jealous gaze.

"Then shall we excuse ourselves first?" Shaman Jung asked. "Mija and I have things to prepare in the temple."

After excusing themselves, Shaman Jung and Mija left.

"Sohee-ssi, Heedo-ya, I’ll just put Gunwoo in bed," Lim Garam said. Shaman Jung already showed them the guest rooms that they would be using while in his residence. "Is that alright with you?"

"Sure, Hyung-nim," Sohee said. "Thank you for coming here."

"Hyung-nim, I’m surprised that Sihyuk Hyung-nim sent you here without a single bodyguard," Kim Heedo commented. "It was only you and Mija, and the baby."

Right?

"We left after Mija used her divine power to, uh, brainwash the bodyguards."

Sohee and Kim Heedo both gasped.

Song Sihyuk would lose it, then?

"Don’t worry. Sihyuk Hyung put a tracker in my phone and the other stuff I always bring with me, so I’m sure he’s already headed here even though I didn’t pick up his calls," Lim Garam said as if that was supposed to put them at ease. "If my husband arrives, please tell him Gunwoo and I are in the guest room."

And, just like that, Lim Garam also left.

Leaving Sohee and Kim Heedo alone in the reception room.

"Sihyuk-ssi is probably fuming at the moment."

"He must be."

Sohee turned to Kim Heedo worriedly. "He’s not going to go ballistic, right? I’m scared for Garam Hyung-nim’s safety..."

"Sihyuk-ssi won’t hurt Garam Hyung-nim physically, so don’t worry too much, Hyung," Kim Heedo assured him. "I’ll greet Sihyuk Hyung-nim at the entrance and help him calm down before I bring him here."

***

AS KIM HEEDO promised to Park Sohee, he waited for Song Sihyuk at the entrance of the temple after his guards informed him that the older Alpha had entered the premises.

And, as expected, Song Sihyuk got out of the car with a mad look on his face.

At least, Hyung-nim doesn’t look like he wants to kill me.

"Kim Heedo—"

"Garam Hyung-nim and Gunwoo are both safe," Heedo said before Song Sihyuk could finish his complaint. "We didn’t force Garam Hyung-nim and Mija to come here. Although we did ask for their help, they still went here on their own. Plus, Mija already knew that they were supposed to help us before we even asked."

That was true.

Song Sihyuk let out a long sigh, and then he put his hands on his waist. "If you knew they were coming here, you should have at least sent your bodyguards to fetch my husband and kid. My subordinates told me Garam took the car and drove it himself. He only had Mija with him. What if they got ambushed? I never let my husband leave the house without at least two bodyguards with him!"

No wonder Garam Hyung-nim feels suffocated most of the time...

Heedo wanted to argue that Lim Garam probably wanted a taste of freedom, but if he said that, he knew Song Sihyuk would punch him in the face.

We need their shaman’s help, so I must endure.

"I’ll keep that in mind next time something like this happens again, Hyung-nim."

"There won’t be a next time, you rascal."

Whatever.

Heedo almost rolled his eyes.

Fortunately, he got distracted when he got a call from Shin Kang. He got an excuse to ignore Song Sihyuk who was cursing under his breath.

"Yes, Ahjussi—"

"Heedo-ya~"

Heedo felt a shiver down his spine when he recognized the voice that clearly didn’t belong to Shin Kang.

It wasn’t like he wanted to recognize that voice immediately.

But if an idol released a solo song that went viral, his song would be played everywhere.

Sanha.

That voice belonged to Lee Junsu’s boyfriend.

The fact that Sanha had Shin Kang’s phone only meant Shin Kang had been caught.

I just hope they didn’t kill Ahjussi.

"What did you do to Ahjussi, you bastard?"

Song Sihyuk shut his mouth and turned to Heedo with knitted eyebrows.

"We’re treating Shin Kang like a VIP, so don’t worry too much."

Tsk.

Clearly, Sanha knew we already know the truth about him.

"Not for long, though."

Tsk.

"Heedo-ya, let’s meet— just the two of us."

Haaah.

I knew it would be like this.

Heedo let out a sigh before asking: "Where the hell are you?"

***

SOHEE was starting to get worried because Kim Heedo was taking too long outside.

He’s not fighting with Sihyuk-ssi, is he?

Lim Garam was busy feeding Gunwoo, so he stepped out of the house to wait for his husband.

And, a few moments later...

"Sihyuk-ssi."

Song Sihyuk gave a curt nod. "Park Sohee."

Hmm?

This scary old man is alone...

"Sihyuk-ssi, where’s Heedo?"

"Your husband went to meet Sanha alone."

"Alone?!"

To say that Sohee was shocked to hear that would be an understatement.

He was angry.

He felt betrayed.

And he wanted to punch his husband for not discussing things with him first!

But, despite everything, Sohee was worried about Kim Heedo.

If something bad happens to my husband, I’ll die, too.

"Where is that brat, sir?" Sohee asked through gritted teeth while clenching his hands tight. "Kim Heedo didn’t leave without telling you where he was headed, did he?"

"Calm down," Song Sihyuk said indifferently. "Heedo and I made a plan."

***

THE PLAN failed.

Kim Heedo clicked his tongue when he woke up tied to a chair in an empty container house.

So cliché.

"You’re awake?"

Sitting across from Heedo was the famous idol Sanha.

But he looks more of a thug than an idol at the moment.

"Heedo-ya, do you know why Lee Junsu pushed you away even though he’s still in love with you?"

"I don’t care about that anymore—"

"Lee Junsu would have either died by your grandfather’s hands or killed himself had he stayed with you after you turned down Park Sohee," Sanha said in a serious tone, cutting off Heedo. "That’s why you need to be with Park Sohee first before he steals you from your husband. Not that I’d let that happen, of course."

Heedo knitted his eyebrows. "Then why are you helping Lee Junsu?"

"I’m not helping him steal you from Park Sohee— I’m just preventing him from doing dumber things. But Lee Junsu would still die if he kept chasing you."

"Then stop him. You’re his boyfriend."

"I would if I could."

How fucking useless.

"So, let’s work together, Kim Heedo," Sanha offered in a serious tone. "Lee Junsu is mine, and Park Sohee is yours. Let’s work together to keep it that way."

Heedo was about to answer, but he suddenly felt a pang in his chest.

Argh!

If he wasn’t tied to a chair, he would have fallen to his knees already.

"Kim Heedo, your pheromones..." Sanha said, covering his nose and mouth with his hand. "You’re going on a berserk."

Heedo knitted his eyebrows, confused and annoyed.

’Berserk?’

Am I a beast?

Heedo would later find out that, yes— being a complete Hyper-Dominant Alpha meant turning into a mindless beast.

Temporarily, I hope.
