Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha-Chapter 155: ALL OVER AGAIN
THERE, I said it.
Honestly, Garam felt a little nervous after he snapped at Song Sihyuk. ๐ง๐๐๐๐คโฏ๐๐๐ฐ๐ฃโฏ๐ญ.๐คโด๐ฎ
Hyung doesnโt like it when Iโm being rude to him.
"Iโm sorry, Garam-ah."
Hmm?
Did I hear it right?
Song Sihyuk apologized?
"Iโm sorry for crossing the line."
Oh, Garam didnโt mishear it.
Hyung really apologized to me...
"I know this may sound like a lame excuse, but Alphas have this tendency to be overprotective of their Omegas," Song Sihyuk explained. "Yes, I know youโre not mine. But you still gave birth to my child. So, my instincts tell me to protect youโ especially from other Alphas. That feeling gets overwhelming, and when it happens, I lose my mind. Just like earlier."
To be honest, Garam already knew that.
But...
I also know that Sihyuk Hyung is just naturally insane.
"Youโre rightโ your personal life is none of my business," Song Sihyuk said. "Having said that, if youโre going to start dating, please let me know. I wouldnโt want random people near my son."
Okay, that made sense.
Garam had no intention of dating at the moment, but as a parent, he understood what Song Sihyuk meant by that.
If Hyung dates or marries someone else, that person will become Gunwooโs stepmother. Or stepfather. When that happens, I would also want to know what kind of person they are before I let them near my son.
"Iโll keep that in mind, Hyung."
Song Sihyukโs face beamed when Garam spoke for the first time after he snapped. "Youโre not mad anymore?"
"I accept your apology. After all, I get your point as a parent," Garam said, sighing. "But, if this happens again, Iโll seriously get mad."
"Yes, I wonโt make you mad again."
Liar.
"Do you want to order dessert now?" Song Sihyuk asked when he noticed that Garam was already done with his pasta, obviously changing the topic to brighten up the atmosphere. "Their cheesecake here is excellent, Garam-ah. Iโm sure youโll love it."
And the Alpha just had to smile.
Hyung knows heโs handsome, and heโs using that face to appease me.
Garam sighed while shaking his head. "Okay, Iโll have that, Hyung."
***
ELIOT FOREIGN SCHOOL.
Francesca International Kindergarten.
Wright School Seoul.
Garam, sitting in the backseat of the car next to Song Sihyuk, blinked while scrolling through the documents in the computer tablet that the Alpha handed to him.
"What am I looking at, Hyung?"
Of course, Garam knew that those were kindergarten schools for Gunwoo.
But he needed confirmation.
"Thatโs the top 3 kindergarten schools in the country," Song Sihyuk said. "If it were up to me, Iโd send our son to study abroad."
"Hyung, Gunwoo is only four."
"I knew youโd say that. So, I just chose the best schools here in Korea," the Alpha said, glancing at the computer tablet. "I strongly recommend Eliot Foreign School. They welcome students from kindergarten to elementary school. Plus, the school has a strict policy that forbids everyoneโ from staff to parentsโ to post about their students. So, even if people there recognize you as the former idol Lim Garam, rest assured that no one would post about it on social media. Taking pictures of students is also strictly prohibited, so we can protect Gunwooโs privacy. Signing the NDA is required when you enroll your child in the school."
"Thatโs convenient," Garam said, slightly impressed. "Iโm surprised that parents sign that kind of NDA."
"Well, many rich folks value their childrenโs privacy."
"Did you attend this school?"
"No, I was born in New York. I studied there until elementary school."
"Are you an American citizen, then?"
"I was, but I had to give up my citizenship to have my mandatory military service here in Korea. It happened after my high school graduation, so I was 18 or 19 then."
Garam gasped, slightly surprised by that decision.
And, yes, this is the first time Iโm hearing about this.
"But why would you do that, Hyung?"
"At the time, Grandfather was exposed for tax evasion. So, the reputation of our company had plummeted," Song Sihyuk explained casually. "To change the impression of the public, we leaked the news that Chairman Songโs grandson gave up his American citizenship to serve the country."
"Eww. Thatโs obviously just a poor attempt at damage control. People fell for that?"
"Yeah, it worked really well."
"How?"
"My face," Song Sihyuk said confidently. "I was the most handsome chaebol at the time, so people went crazy over my visuals."
Garam frowned, disgusted by the whole fiasco.
But he really couldnโt say anything because he married this man once.
And I even fell in love with him.
"That was such a huge news at the time," Song Sihyuk said, furrowing his brows. "You donโt remember the time that SG Groupโs handsome grandson showed his face to the public?"
"Hyung, when you were in high school, I was only in elementary school. I donโt think a kid like me would have been interested in that kind of news."
"Ah, right. We have quite a big age gap between us."
"Yes, you were a cradle robber."
Song Sihyuk just chuckled before changing the topic. "Take your time in choosing Gunwooโs school. Even if it says the enrollment period is over, you shouldnโt worry about that. We can enroll Gunwoo anytime, and whatever school you choose will accept our son."
Haaah.
It was pretty unnerving how easy life was for a chaebol like Song Sihyuk.
But it was even more annoying that Garam couldnโt help but accept the Alphaโs help because he wanted the best for Gunwoo.
I need to protect my sonโs privacy.
However...
"Does it have to be an international school, Hyung?"
"It wonโt hurt if Gunwoo learns English as early as now."
"I was thinking of choosing an average kindergarten for our son before we came here."
Song Sihyuk scoffed. "Garam-ah, my son isnโt an average kid. I donโt want to scare you, but people within our social circle probably already know that I have a child. And not everyone of them will put that information to good use."
"Are you saying that there are people who might harm our son?"
"Well, I have many enemies..."
Garam let out a frustrated sigh.
Of course, he knew that Song Sihyuk had plenty of enemies.
This hyung even sent his own uncle to jail before!
"Hyung, I swear, if something bad happens to our son because of your enemies..."
"I wonโt let that happen, Garam-ah. But I need your cooperation," Song Sihyuk said, looking at Garam with a serious look on his face. "Garam canโt have the life of an average kid because he is far from average. I hope you understand, Garam-ah."
Haaah.
This was frustrating.
After all, I know that Hyung is right.
"Iโm worried about our sonโs safety, but I also want to prioritize his happiness," Garam said. "Can we visit the school first with Gunwoo to see if heโll like it there?"
"Of course," Song Sihyuk said, nodding. "Iโll arrange it immediately."
***
GARAM only realized that he had fallen asleep when he woke up in Song Sihyukโs arms.
Yes, the Alpha was carrying him bridal style.
Aigooya.
This is embarrassing.
"Hyung, Iโm already awake," Garam said in a sleepy voice. "You can put me down now."
"Weโre already here."
By โhere,โ Song Sihyuk meant the bedroom that Garam and Gunwoo would be using at his in-lawsโ house.
I canโt believe I slept for this long...
But maybe he shouldnโt be so surprised.
Garamโs body actually felt heavy.
He wasnโt feeling feverish and his body temperature seemed normal, but for some reason, he felt sluggish.
This is how I was after giving birth to Gunwoo...
Hence, even though Garam was embarrassed about being tucked into bed at his big age, he had no choice but to let Song Sihyuk do that.
I canโt believe Iโm being taken care of at this age.
By the Alpha, no less.
"Iโm going to touch your forehead," Song Sihyuk said, sitting on the edge of the bed. "Iโm going to check if you have a fever."
"I donโt have a fever, Hyung," Garam said while shaking his head. "Did Gunwoo see you carrying me?"
He hoped his son didnโt see them.
After all, I donโt want Gunwoo to worry about me.
"Appa said Gunwoo is napping in the playroom," Song Sihyuk said, dropping his hand to his side when Garam refused his touch. "Appa said heโll call the family doctor here."
"But Iโm not sick, Hyung."
"Are you a doctor?"
Tsk.
"Didnโt I already tell you that you need to stay healthy if you donโt want to die early and leave Gunwoo in my hands?" Song Sihyuk asked, sighing while shaking his head. "You know that Iโm not going to be a good father to our son without you, so you have to be healthy and live for a long time."
"Is that supposed to make me feel better, Hyung?"
"Itโs working, isnโt it?"
"It is," Garam said while nodding firmly. "I canโt die because I canโt entrust Gunwoo to you, Hyung."
"Very well," Song Sihyuk said, obviously satisfied. "Now let me call the doctor again."
