Married For Now-Chapter 144: UGLY TRUTH

Present...

"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."

Kim 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?

"You have your suppressor, right?"

A ’suppressor’ was essentially an inhibitor to an Omega.

But a suppressor wasn’t just meant to stop an Alpha from being, uh, horny. Its main purpose was to stop an Alpha from acting too violently.

A Dominant Alpha like Heedo was required to bring one with him all the time.

"Untie me, bastard."

"I’m not sure if it would be wise for me to untie you when you’re in that state, Heedo-ya."

"Are you stupid? How am I supposed to use my suppressor if I’m tied?"

"I can do it for you~"

Heedo glared at Sanha in response.

The bastard just laughed.

Fortunately, Sanha eventually untied Heedo.

Good.

Heedo gave Sanha a good punch in the face as soon as the bastard was within reach.

Sanha stumbled backwards while holding his bleeding nose until he fell to his butt.

Serves him right.

"That’s for shooting me with a tranquilizer," Heedo said while pulling out a small can of pills. He took three and put them in his mouth, swallowing the pills without water. "How dare you treat your fellow Alpha like a beast?"

Sanha, who had already gotten up, chuckled while wiping the blood off his nose with the sleeve of his jacket. "Alphas are beasts."

"Speak for yourself."

Sanha just laughed again, and then he sat on the chair where Heedo was tied to just a moment ago.

On the other hand, Heedo started to calm down.

Even the pang in his chest had disappeared.

He still felt like something was strange, like his pheromones staying stronger than usual even though he had already calmed down.

Was it because his "evolution" was about to be completed?

I need to see Kyungmin Hyung soon.

"You’re really cruel, Heedo-ya. If you would punch, you should have just punched me in the stomach. I’m an idol, you know? My face is my livelihood."

"Do you sing and dance with your face?"

"Aigoo. That thinking is outdated. The newer fans care more about visuals than talent these days. Why do you think I still have a career even though I lip-sync most of the time?"

"Your insincerity is an insult to your fans," Heedo said, changing the topic. "Where’s Ahjussi?"

"I brought Shin Kang to a small hospital near here. I’ll send you the location once we’re done talking."

Heedo clenched his hands tight. "What did you do to Ahjussi for him to land in the hospital?"

"I just broke a few bones just like how he broke the bones of our rookies."

"You—"

"I would have killed Shin Kang if you didn’t agree to meet me," Sanha said casually. Yeah, this bastard was no civilian at all. "Shin Kang owes you his life."

Haaah.

Heedo wanted to curse, but he knew he would only lose if he got carried away by his emotions.

Hence, he took a deep breath before changing the topic again.

"My "rescue team" will be here anytime soon, so stop wasting time," Heedo said, putting his hands on his waist. "You said you’ll give me Lee Junsu’s weaknesses. Why would you do that?"

"Because I want you to have some blackmail materials to stop Lee Junsu from approaching you," Sanha said bluntly. "Of course, I’ll only give them to you if you promise to not release it to the public. Lee Junsu loves being an idol, you know?"

"Promise? Are we children?"

"If you break your promise, I’ll ruin yours and Park Sohee’s lives."

Heedo raised an eyebrow. "And how are you planning to do that?"

"Well, I can mobilize a few of my friends in the underworld— those researchers who are crazy enough not to care about going against chaebols as long as they satisfy their curiosity. I’m talking about the people who created the miracle pills."

Tsk.

This bastard has connections to the lunatics who made those stupid pills?

"Heedo-ya, both you and Park Sohee are special," Sanha added. "Park Sohee is a special Dominant Omega. Most strong drugs that are meant to knock down Omegas don’t work on him."

Dammit.

Heedo was reminded of the gas mask bastard who collected Park Sohee’s blood.

That gas mask bastard was crazy enough to still attack Sohee Hyung even though Sanha’s subordinate already asked Jin Taejoon’s men to back out.

More people are like that?

"But you’re more special than your husband, Heedo-ya. After all, you are a Hyper-Dominant Alpha."

Heedo clenched his jaw tight. "How did you know that?"

There’s no way the people who know about my secret would talk.

"I planted a spy among Taejoon Hyung’s men, and one of them secretly watched you beat him up. That person is an Alpha, and he said your pheromones back then were different. Then the shaman on my side confirmed it through her Celestial Eyes."

Dammit.

Those shamans could really see anything and everything.

"Heedo-ya, those crazy researchers are being backed up by the government."

"What?"

"The chaebols aren’t the only rich people in this country. In fact, there are wealthy people in the underworld who are probably richer than you," Sanha said, smiling as if he had already won. "You chaebols are heavily taxed by the government, after all. And you can’t even do anything against it since you’re running a legal business. Isn’t that exactly the reason why the inheritance tax in our country is still so ridiculously high?"

Tsk.

This guy really knows what he’s talking about.

"You wouldn’t want to anger the people involved in miracle pills, Heedo-ya."

"Are you only here to threaten me?"

"I’m just telling you of what lengths I could go through for Lee Junsu," Sanha said, still smiling. "That’s why I’m asking for your cooperation, Heedo-ya. Once you agree to leave Lee Junsu alone despite the crazy things he did in the past, I promise you that he won’t ever go near you again."

"It sounds like you already have a plan."

"You’ve seen the news— Lee Junsu and I are supposed to be on the brink of death."

"Are you going to fake your death?"

"I’m considering it."

Heedo let out a sigh. "Fine. Keep Lee Junsu away from me and my husband, then we’ll leave you alone."

"Good. I’ll tell you the most horrible thing that Lee Junsu did first," Sanha said in a serious tone. "He has been taking miracle pills since last year."

"What?"

"Lee Junsu wants to be an Omega because he has to carry your child in order to steal Park Sohee’s luck."

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

In fact, he got goosebumps all over his body.

He never thought that the day he would think Lee Junsu was disgusting would come, but here it was now.

There was one more thing that pissed him off, though.

"If you knew about Lee Junsu’s ridiculous plan, then why did you let him go this far?"

"Well, I wanted Lee Junsu to be an Omega because I wanted to have babies with him. But I don’t want to force him to take miracle pills. That’s why when I found out that he was secretly taking those pills, I turned a blind eye. After all, that’s the only way for us to have babies."

"You know you can adopt kids, don’t you?" Heedo scoffed at Sanha’s ridiculous reason. "You’re just as bad as Lee Junsu."

"I never intended to support Lee Junsu all the way. My plan was to protect him until he turned into an Omega. But Lee Junsu is becoming more and more reckless because of Shaman Crystal’s influence."

"But I thought that shaman was on your side."

"That shaman is on the side of whoever can help her retrieve her divine power. It looks like she saw in her vision that Lee Junsu could help her, so she’s been trying to influence him."

"Then separate that shaman from Lee Junsu."

"It’s hard because I have an agreement with Shaman Crystal. But don’t worry about it," Sanha said, shrugging. "I’ll get rid of that shaman when the time is right."

Heedo let out a frustrated sigh. "Now tell me the other horrible things that Lee Junsu had done."

"Alright— I’ll confess the bad things that Lee Junsu did to Park Sohee."

Heedo thought the way Sanha phrased it was weird.

Does it mean Lee Junsu did bad things to other people, but he won’t tell me because that’s not what we agreed on?
