Married For Now-Chapter 178: LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION

"KIDS, DON’T be silly. Of course, I’m not asking you to kill me for real."

Sohee was relieved to hear that.

But Lim Garam was still being vague, so he had to ask.

"Hyung-nim, what’s your plan?"

Lim Garam paused for a moment. "I have a confession to make: I’ve already planned to do this long before. Like I said earlier, I wanted to teach my husband a lesson. It’s just so happened that a perfect opportunity arrived when this situation happened."

Oh.

So, that means...

"You’re using us," Kim Heedo said, scoffing. "You’re dragging another couple into your problem."

"I really don’t want to hear that from you, Heedo-ya," Lim Garam said, smiling while shaking his head. "Aren’t you here because you want to use me to negotiate with my husband?"

Negotiate with Song Sihyuk using Lim Garam?

"Why?" Sohee asked, asking Kim Heedo directly while giving his husband an annoyed look. "What’s going on, Heedo-ya?"

Kim Heedo flinched before answering, avoiding Sohee’s gaze as if he was guilty. "I got a call from Sanha. Apparently, he and Lee Junsu were kidnapped by Sihyuk Hyung-nim. So, he wants me to save them."

"And you went straight here instead of talking to me about it first?"

"We’re running out of time, Hyung."

"So what?" Sohee asked. He was starting to get stressed, so he rubbed his stomach. Even so, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed. "To be honest, even if Sanha-ssi and Lee Junsu got kidnapped by Sihyuk-ssi, it should be none of our business. There must be a reason why Sihyuk-ssi did that."

Kim Heedo turned to Sohee with knitted eyes. "Hyung, it sounds like you know why Sihyuk Hyung-nim kidnapped Sanha and Lee Junsu."

"I only have a hunch," Sohee admitted. "But I haven’t verified it yet, and I have no intention of doing so."

"Hyung, why would you ignore someone who needs help?"

"Maybe because the person you want to save doesn’t deserve it?"

Kim Heedo knitted his eyebrows. "Hyung, what do you mean by that?"

Sohee would have answered that, but he didn’t like the way Kim Heedo asked it. So, his lips just formed a thin line instead of opening his mouth.

I’ll make Heedo pay for this once he recovers his memories.

"Hey, don’t talk to Sohee that way," Lim Garam scolded Kim Heedo. "Kim Heedo, that Lee Junsu brat was the mastermind behind my son’s kidnapping before."

Kim Heedo looked shocked.

Sohee remembered that Kim Heedo had already been informed of the things he needed to know after losing his memories.

But I guess he can’t believe that Lee Junsu is a kidnapper now. freёnovelkiss.com

"I’m not justifying my husband’s actions— I’m just saying that you can’t blame Sohee for turning a blind eye. Lee Junsu is just getting what he deserves," Lim Garam said firmly. "As a chaebol, you should know that it’s normal for your kind to put justice into your own hands."

Kim Heedo just frowned, but it looked like he understood.

Aigoo.

This is the dark side of these chaebols...

"Hyung, Sanha said something strange," Kim Heedo said meekly, and then he looked at Sohee with puppy dog eyes. Yes, this brat was acting pitiful on purpose. "He said I will never recover my memories if I let Lee Junsu die."

Haaah.

I want to ignore it because Sanha might be lying just to save Lee Junsu, but I don’t want to risk it.

After all, he wanted his husband to recover his memories.

"If you put it that way, then you leave me with no choice," Sohee said, frowning at Kim Heedo. And then he turned to Lim Garam. "Hyung-nim, please tell us what to do. We need you to negotiate with Song Sihyuk-ssi."

"Very well," Lim Garam said while nodding. "I won’t tell you what will happen to me exactly so that your reaction will come out naturally, but I want you to trust me— I’m not trying to kill myself, okay?"

Well, that didn’t sound promising.

SOHEE hugged the sleeping Baby Gunwoo in his arms.

According to Lim Garam’s incomplete "script," he had to hold the child in his arms so that the guards wouldn’t dare attack him.

"Hyung-nim, I feel bad that we’re using Gunwoo as a shield."

"I understand what you’re feeling, but this is necessary," Lim Garam said, smiling bitterly. "I didn’t want to use my son this way, too. But this is our only chance to escape this house."

Since only Sohee and Lim Garam were in Gunwoo’s bedroom, he asked a sensitive question in a careful and low tone.

Heedo is making a phone call to ask for reinforcement.

"Hyung-nim, is everything alright here?"

"No," Lim Garam answered softly while shaking his head. "I found out that Sihyuk Hyung was messing with my birth control pills."

"What?!"

"He wants to get me pregnant "accidentally.""

"Sihyuk Hyung doesn’t want another child with me— he just wants a reason to keep me at home."

Excuse me???

Song Sihyuk is really a crazy bastard!

"I told Sihyuk Hyung that I wanted to make a comeback as a soloist. He said he’d think about it, so I thought he was really considering it," Lim Garam said, smiling bitterly. "Then I found out that he tampered with my birth control pills. If it wasn’t for Mija’s help, I would have gotten pregnant already."

Sohee’s jaw clenched. "Hyung-nim, leave that bastard."

He knew that he didn’t have the right to give that kind of drastic advice, especially since he wasn’t close enough to Lim Garam yet to know what kind of relationship he had with his husband.

But Sohee could tell that Lim Garam was crying for help.

And I can’t ignore it.

"That’s what I’m trying to do," Lim Garam said while smiling bitterly. "That’s why I’m helping you even though I hate Lee Junsu for kidnapping my baby."

Sohee nodded because he could understand Lim Garam’s feelings. "But please make sure you’re not going to hurt yourself in the process, Hyung-nim."

"I’m not that reckless, Sohee-ya," Lim Garam said, laughing softly while shaking his head. "I won’t leave Gunwoo alone since I know Sihyuk Hyung wouldn’t love him if I were gone."

Aigoo.

Sohee sighed while shaking his head. "Let’s do this, Hyung-nim."

EVEN THOUGH Sohee didn’t want to admit it, he was nervous.

He had the still-sleeping Gunwoo in his arms while walking to the main door of the mansion.

Kim Heedo was walking beside him.

Of course, Lim Garam and Mija accompanied them.

Under the guise that they’ll just send us off.

What made Sohee nervous was the fact that the bodyguards surrounded them.

It was clear that Song Sihyuk asked his subordinates to keep an eye on Lim Garam and Baby Gunwoo.

On the other hand, we only have Mr. Shin and Kang Sul-ssi.

It wasn’t like Sohee was underestimating Shin Kang and Kang Sul— he was simply intimidated by the number of bodyguards around them.

But I trust Garam Hyung-nim.

"It was nice seeing you, Sohee-ya and Heedo-ya," Lim Garam said with a smile when they got to the main door. "Let’s see each other again soon..."

The older Omega trailed off, and then—

COUGH.

Sohee gasped out loud when Lim Garam suddenly coughed up blood. "Hyung-nim!"
