Married For Now-Chapter 206: HOUSEWIFE ERA

SOHEE’S mother-in-law sent half of their household staff to their apartment to help him with the chores.

President Kang Nari could have just hired their own household staff members.

But my mother-in-law can’t trust other people easily after everything that has happened recently, especially now that I’m heavily pregnant. So, she sent half of the household staff that she trusts the most.

Hence, he felt safe.

Anyway, Sohee didn’t mind the household staff members helping with the chores— except for one.

Cooking.

I want to personally cook for Kim Heedo.

For tonight’s dinner, Sohee cooked galbi-jjim (braised beef short ribs) for his husband.

He also cooked more rice than usual, and prepared both napa cabbage kimchi and radish kimchi. Those two side dishes paired well with galbi-jjim, after all.

Of course, he also prepared the usual side dishes that Kim Heedo enjoyed.

It’s a lot of work, but it’s worth it.

"Young Madam, we’ll be going ahead."

Oh.

Sohee blushed when the household staff members said their goodbyes to him while calling him ’young madam.’

I’ve truly become the spouse of a chaebol.

"Good work today, Ahjummas," Sohee said to the household staff members politely. "Take care and see you tomorrow."

After that, he was finally alone in the apartment again.

But not for long.

Heedo will be home in fifteen minutes.

Sohee had nothing else to do, so he needed to find something to be busy with until his husband came home.

Should I take pictures of the dinner I prepared and upload them on social media?

***

"HYUNG, I’m home."

Oh?

Sohee was shocked when he heard Kim Heedo’s voice.

He took pictures of the dinner that he had made earlier. Then he downloaded an app to edit the pictures. And, just like that, time had passed by.

I haven’t even uploaded a single picture yet!

"Hyung?"

"I’m here, Heedo-ya," Sohee said, throwing his phone on the sofa before getting up from his seat. "Welcome home..."

Hmm?

He trailed off and knitted his eyebrows when he got a whiff of a strange scent coming from Kim Heedo.

And that scent...

"Omega?" Sohee said, frowning. Before he knew it, he had already grabbed Kim Heedo by the collar. "Kim Heedo, were you with an Omega all day?"

Because an Omega’s scent would only cling to an Alpha if they had been together for at least a few hours.

Of course, at the back of Sohee’s head, he knew Kim Heedo wouldn’t cheat on him.

But that didn’t change the fact that he hated another Omega sticking close to his husband.

No, Kim Heedo isn’t just my husband now— he’s my bonded mate!

"The sunbae that supervises me at work is an Omega, Hyung," Kim Heedo explained carefully in a calm tone as if he were trying to console Sohee. "His name is Jang Yeonwoo. Yes, he is an Omega. But his scent only clung to me because we worked together all day. He didn’t do this on purpose, Hyung."

"Are you being protective of him?"

"Hyung, that’s not the case. I’m just explaining because I don’t want you to be upset," Kim Heedo explained, still calm. But Sohee could see the fear in his eyes. "I knew you would catch Yeonwoo Sunbae-nim’s scent on me, so I could have showered and changed my shirt before coming home. But I didn’t want to hide the fact that I’m working with an Omega. Nothing happened, and nothing will happen. Please trust me, Hyung."

Okay, that kind of talk actually worked.

Sohee liked how calm and soothing Kim Heedo’s voice was while explaining to him.

To be honest, his husband didn’t have to explain because even though he was acting illogically at the moment, he still trusted him.

He just couldn’t control his emotions well since he was pregnant.

"I’m sorry for making you upset, Hyung," Kim Heedo said carefully. "I’ll ask for a new supervisor tomorrow. If it’s not possible, then I’ll look for a different job— one where only Alphas are allowed."

"A place that only allows Alphas isn’t a good place," Sohee said, scoffing. "You don’t have to do any of that. I just overreacted a bit since I didn’t know you’d be coming home with the scent of an Omega clinging to you. But if you managed to stay with that sunbae-nim for long, then I assume that sunbae-nim is a decent person."

He didn’t want to admit this, but Kim Heedo could really be snobbish sometimes.

"Yeonwoo Sunbae-nim is a decent person. He experienced discrimination from Alphas while working in this field, so he was a bit wary of me in the beginning. Actually, he asked why I didn’t judge him for choosing to work as a mover despite being an Omega," Kim Heedo explained. "So, I told him that his Secondary Gender has nothing to do with his competence. And I don’t see Omegas as weak. After all, the strongest person I know is my husband."

Aigoo.

Sohee didn’t expect that, so he couldn’t help but smile.

But he also didn’t want to show Kim Heedo his silly grin, so he covered his mouth with his hands and faked a cough.

"Hyung, are you alright?" Kim Heedo asked worriedly. "Should I call the doctor?"

Aigoo.

This brat really doesn’t play with my health.

And he loved that, of course.

"I’m fine," Sohee said, waving his hand dismissively. "Go and take a shower first— I don’t want to smell another Omega’s scent on you."

***

SOHEE raised an eyebrow while watching Kim Heedo finish his fifth bowl of rice.

As an Alpha, his husband had always been a big eater. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

But this was the first time he had seen Kim Heedo eat that much white rice.

"Heedo-ya, is the galbi-jjim that good?" Sohee asked, half-amused and half-worried. "I thought I cooked enough to have it as our breakfast tomorrow. In fact, I thought I could pack some for your lunch. But you finished everything..."

"Hyung, it’s really good," Kim Heedo said after eating with so much gusto. "I’ll gain weight quickly because you feed me so well."

Pfft.

Sohee remembered his phone conversation with his husband earlier.

Is that it?

"Heedo-ya, you don’t have to gain weight to make me feel better. I’m already fine. I was just trying to act like a brat earlier."

"Hyung, I love everything you cook. It won’t be your fault if I gain weight. I really enjoy eating the food you make for me. After all, you make them with love."

Aigoo.

That was so cheesy.

But I love hearing sweet nothings from Heedo.

"You told your sunbae-nim that you’re already married, right?"

"Yes, Hyung."

"Who else knows?"

"Only that sunbae-nim, Hyung. I don’t talk about my personal life to other people. But I’m not hiding the fact that I’m already married."

"Then wear your ring starting tomorrow."

Kim Heedo informed Sohee that he would wear his wedding ring as a necklace because he didn’t want it to get lost while working.

Heedo is still gaining the weight that he lost while he was in a coma, so his ring actually got a little loose around his finger.

Of course, they could have just sent the ring to a jeweler to have the size adjusted.

But Kim Heedo said he would gain his old weight because he didn’t like being that light (by his standards).

Anyway, Sohee let Kim Heedo wear his wedding ring as a necklace before.

But he already changed his mind.

"I want everyone at your work to know that you’re already married," Sohee said sternly. "And that you have a pregnant Omega waiting for you at home. Is that clear, Kim Heedo?"

Kim Heedo looked shocked at first, and then he grinned. "Yes, Hyung~"
