Married For Now-Chapter 172: THE UNWANTED STORY

KIM HEEDO really wanted to follow Park Sohee even though he didn’t want to act like a clingy husband.

However, a phone call from Shaman Jung changed his schedule.

Hence, instead of going to Park Sohee, he was forced to go to the temple.

"We’re here, Young Master."

Heedo got out of the car, and then he paused to look at Shin Kang. "Ahjussi, why do I feel like it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other?"

"It’s really been a while, Young Master," Shin Kang answered politely. "I was hospitalized after getting hurt while on duty. Kang Sul took my place while I was recovering. But now that I’ve fully recovered, the master and madam asked me to return to work."

Oh, right.

Heedo vaguely remembered that story.

But his mind was occupied by Park Sohee these days, so he was a bit disoriented sometimes.

It seems like Sohee Hyung really has a huge impact on me.

"Ahjussi."

"Yes, Young Master?"

"How long have you worked for me?"

"Since you were a young boy, sir."

Right.

And, in Heedo’s memories, Shin Kang had never lied to him.

Plus, he takes my sides even if it means getting scolded by my parents.

In short, Shin Kang was someone he could trust.

"You know about my current situation, right?"

"Yes, Young Master. I’ve been informed that you’ve lost a portion of your memories."

"Were you also informed that Sohee Hyung is pregnant?"

"Yes, sir," Shin Kang said, his face beaming. "The madam told me with Park Sohee-nim’s permission. They felt the need to tell me about Park Sohee-nim’s condition in order to protect him properly."

"Ahjussi, why do you look happy?"

"Of course, I’m happy. Young Master, you may not remember, but you and Park Sohee-nim are genuinely in love with each other," Shin Kang said carefully. "That’s why I’m happy that you’ve become parents."

Hmm?

It was strange.

In the past, Shin Kang had never commented on Heedo’s love life even when he was having a hard time because of Lee Junsu.

But now...

"Ahjussi, do you like Sohee Hyung?"

"As a person, yes," Shin Kang said, extra carefully as if he didn’t want Heedo to misunderstand. "Park Sohee-nim is a good person, sir. Moreover, he has a good influence on you. That’s why I’m rooting for the two of you."

Aigoo.

Heedo just frowned, and then he started walking towards Shaman Jung’s residence.

His mind was a mess, though.

I can tell that Sohee Hyung and I have a good relationship, and it seems like my friend and family also like him for me. But I feel guilty. Even though I know that Lee Junsu is already in a committed relationship with someone else, I still can’t help but worry about him.

Especially after Heedo found out about what his grandfather did to Lee Junsu.

Haaah.

No wonder our family was cursed before— my grandfather is really a bad person.

"Welcome, Young Master."

Heedo bowed his head politely. "Shaman Jung, I’m a little busy. Please get straight to the point."

"I will," Shaman Jung said while nodding. "Please take a seat first."

He followed the shaman inside his residence.

Then Heedo sat on the floor as Shaman Jung served him tea and some simple snacks.

"Did Lee Junsu-ssi ask you for compensation, Young Master?"

Heedo almost choked on his tea because of Shaman Jung’s question.

I know I told him to get straight to the point, but I didn’t expect him to be this direct.

Moreover...

"How did you know, Shaman Jung?" Heedo asked, slightly terrified. He didn’t believe in shamanism like how his grandfather did, but damn. This was really something crazy. "I haven’t told anyone about my last conversation with Lee Junsu."

Yes, he even hid that from Park Sohee.

"Now I understand the vision that I saw."

Okay, the room suddenly got chilly.

Not in a creepy way.

It was just as if someone joined them in the room, but that "person" couldn’t be seen by naked, human eyes.

Wait, isn’t that supposed to be scary?

Even so, Heedo felt calm.

"Young Master, you need to cut your ties with Lee Junsu completely."

"What if I don’t?"

"You have to choose between your past and present— or you’ll lose Park Sohee and the life in his womb."

Heedo flinched, and then he asked: "I have no intention of going back to Lee Junsu. Although I still care about him, I’m not a homewrecker. He’s already committed to someone else while I have a pregnant Omega waiting for me."

A portion of his brain still cared about Lee Junsu so he was a little hesitant about the "cutting ties" part.

However, he panicked when he heard he might lose Park Sohee and their baby.

It’s clear that my heart is leaning more towards Sohee Hyung than Lee Junsu.

Moreover, Heedo cared about his unborn child.

"I understand what you’re saying, Young Master," Shaman Jung said carefully. "But cutting off Lee Junsu from your life completely requires a tangible act."

Something tangible?

While Heedo was using every brainpower he had, he suddenly heard Lee Junsu’s voice in his head: "Heedo-ya, I’ve already decided what I want for compensation. And that would be your pheromones."

His lips formed a thin line.

"I don’t think I can do it, Shaman Jung," Heedo said while shaking his head. "I can’t give Lee Junsu my pheromones."

Shaman Jung knitted his eyebrows. "Lee Junsu asked for your pheromones?"

"Oh? Is it not the solution that you saw in your vision?"

"No, not at all."

It was Heedo’s turn to knit his eyebrows. "Then how am I supposed to cut Lee Junsu from my life completely?"

"A life for a life," Shaman Jung said vaguely. "You must return what Lee Junsu almost lost because of your grandfather’s greed, Young Master."

SOHEE went to the hospital with Ahn Yujae and Cho Euntak to visit Go Gunjoon.

Yes, his half-brother was still in the hospital.

Go Gunjoon is staying in a VIP Room, of course.

Dr. Seong Kyungmin had arranged a full Alpha 101 Package for Go Gunjoon.

Apparently, it was specifically made for a late bloomer.

That ’package’ includes a full general check-up, a two-day orientation that will thoroughly educate my brother about Alphas and Omegas (with topics that aren’t discussed at school), and check the level of his pheromones.

After all, Alphas had different classes as well.

"Sohee Hyung-nim, you’re here."

Hmm?

Sohee was a bit touched when he saw how excited Go Gunjoon look upon seeing him.

His half-brother’s face also beamed after seeing Ahn Yujae and Cho Euntak.

"You brought your friends, Hyung-nim."

"Yes, I did. You already know Ahn Yujae," Sohee said, and then he pointed at Cho Euntak. "This is my friend, Cho Euntak."

Go Gunjoon and Cho Euntak then exchanged shy greetings.

Aww, they’re so cute.

"Sohee Hyung-nim, can I talk to you in private?"

Oh?

Sohee was a bit surprised by Go Gunjoon’s request, especially after seeing how serious his half-brother was.

Hence, he immediately turned to Ahn Yujae and Cho Euntak.

"We’ll go and buy food," Ahn Yujae said while looking at his watch. "Is everyone okay with coffee and some pastries?"

Sohee and Go Gunjoon nodded.

"We’ll be back, Hyung," Cho Euntak said while waving his hand. "Text or call me if you have to, Hyung."

"I will," Sohee said while nodding. "Thank you, Euntakie and Ahn Yujae."

Ahn Yujae and Cho Euntak just smiled before leaving the room together.

And now that Sohee was alone with Go Gunjoon.

"Hyung-nim, I already blocked Jung Byeol Sunbae everywhere— everywhere except my email since I forgot about it," Go Gunjoon said nervously, and then he handed Sohee his phone. "I got this email from Byeol Sunbae earlier. To be honest, I was about to send this to you as soon as I received this. But I figured it’s better to give it to you in person, so I was glad when you said you’d drop by."

Sohee felt guilty because his reason for visiting Go Gunjoon wasn’t pure.

But he was glad that he still went there.

Jung Byeol’s email was kind of cryptic.

<’A life for a life. Catch Shaman Crystal. Help the hyungs or lose the baby.’>

Sohee unconsciously touched his stomach, his heart in the throat.

By ’hyungs,’ does Jung Byeol mean Sanha and Lee Junsu?

AN ISLAND, again.

Sanha found himself in another villa in an unknown island.

That was where the Hongs locked him up and Lee Junsu.

The entire villa, and probably the whole private island, were surrounded by bodyguards.

Hence, Sanha didn’t bother to escape.

Fortunately, it seems like the Hongs are still busy with other things. Thanks to that, they haven’t threatened us yet.

Was it the SG Group owned by Song Sihyuk?

The last time Hong Seojun was there, Sanha heard the Daesung heir say that Song Sihyuk was picking a fight with them.

It looks like the chaebols are fighting, huh?

"How long are you going to make me wait?"

Sanha raised an eyebrow when Lee Junsu joined him on the balcony. "Are you really that interested in my story?"

"It’s not just your story," Lee Junsu said, frowning. "Tell me when exactly you started obsessing over me."

Oh, it would just be a short story, then.

After all, even Sanha didn’t know why he was so obsessed with Lee Junsu.

***

A few years ago...

Sanha stared blankly outside the window of his office.

It was a shabby office in a shabby building.

Well, a loan shark’s office didn’t have to be fancy.

And it wasn’t like Sanha would be working there for long.

But it was still a bummer to be there.

The only entertaining "thing" there was the pretty student walking by below.

"Are you interested in that kid?"

Sanha ignored the female shaman that his older brother introduced to him earlier.

"Don’t bother— that kid will die soon."

"What?"

"It would be a pitiful death," Shaman Crystal said while shaking her head. "He’ll be killed soon."

"Killed?" Sanha asked, worried and curious. "By whom?"
