Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha-Chapter 167: FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

"LOOK at me, Dad~"

Garam smiled when Gunwoo— dressed in his fancy school uniform— turned around proudly in front of him.

Aigooya.

My baby is in kindergarten now, huh?

He became emotional instantly, and he almost cried.

However, he managed to hold back.

I can’t cry when this is a happy occasion.

"Look, Dad," Gunwoo said excitedly, raising his leg to show off his brand-new Oxford shoes. "I’m wearing the shoes that Daddy sent!"

Right.

Song Sihyuk sent those expensive little shoes to Gunwoo as a gift for their son’s first day of school.

But the Alpha didn’t change his mind.

Hyung is still not coming to see his son on his first day of school.

"I also wore the watch that Daddy gave me," Gunwoo said while showing off his watch this time. "I’m ready to go to school, Dad!"

Aww.

Garam bent his knees, and then he hugged his son. "I’m so happy that you’re excited for your first day of school, baby."

Most kids would cry, but Garam didn’t want to act arrogant yet.

After all, I don’t know how Gunwoo will react once I leave him at school.

For now, he was just happy that his son was excited for school and not throwing a tantrum.

"Daddy told me that school is fun!"

Right.

Song Sihyuk called last night to talk to Gunwoo.

At least, Hyung gives useful advice to our son.

"Yes, school is fun, baby," Garam assured his son. "So, let’s not cry later, okay?"

Gunwoo giggled and nodded. "I’m a big boy now, Dad!"

***

GARAM smiled and clapped his hands hard while watching Gunwoo marching with his new classmates.

Eliot Foreign School, the kindergarten where his son was now enrolled to, had a tradition where the new kids would have a parade around the school. Since it was both a kindergarten and an elementary school, the older students welcomed the ’babies’ with confetti.

Gunwoo, as well as most kids, enjoyed the confetti that came in different shapes.

I was afraid that a fancy school like this would accidentally teach kids to be out of touch with reality, but I’m glad that the kids here seem to be warm and welcoming.

Garam also liked the diversity of students.

I want my son to be exposed to other cultures this early.

"Are you crying, dear?"

"Not yet, Appa," Garam said, laughing softly while shaking his head. "I’m just a little emotional."

Yes, Lee Wonjae accompanied him in place of Song Sihyuk.

His Omega father-in-law was a legendary golf player who brought honor to South Korea, hence most people there had already recognized Lee Wonja.

And there were some people who had also recognized Garam.

I hope I was just being too self-conscious, but no. I’ve heard a few people mention my name earlier.

By ’people,’ he meant other parents.

Most of the parents there looked like they were only a few years older than Garam.

It’s not impossible for them to recognize me, even if they were only slightly interested in idols.

"Should we head back now, dear?"

Garam shook his head in response to what his Omega father-in-law asked him. "It’s alright, Appa. I’m no longer an idol, so it’s fine even if people recognize me."

"I’m sure the parents here know better than posting stuff about you after they signed an NDA. But if someone still tries to do so by using a different name on the internet, then we’ll just have to track them down," Lee Wonjae assured Garam. "So, don’t stress yourself too much..."

His Omega father-in-law trailed off, and then he checked his phone.

After all, Lee Wonjae let out a long sigh.

"What’s wrong, Appa?" Garam asked worriedly. "Did something bad happen?"

"No, it’s just your abeoji," Lee Wonjae said, sighing while shaking his head. "He wants me to take a lot of Gunwoo’s pictures. I already sent him some, but now he’s asking me to send him videos of Gunwoo."

Aigoo.

Garam couldn’t help but chuckle.

Actually, his Alpha father-in-law wanted to come with them.

Unfortunately for Abeoji, he has an important meeting that he can’t miss.

"At least, Abeoji is interested in Gunwoo’s first day of school," Garam said, sighing while shaking his head. "I can’t say the same for Sihyuk Hyung."

***

"SON, you have your own phone."

Song Sihyuk pretended not to hear his Alpha father.

He was busy browsing through the pictures and videos that his Omega father had sent.

Yeah, he was using his Alpha father’s phone for that.

Fortunately, their meeting with their client had been delayed for thirty minutes.

Hence, Song Sihyuk had a free time with his Alpha father.

And they spent that free time having coffee together.

"I’m sure Garam wouldn’t deny you pictures and videos of Gunwoo since he wanted to coparent with you properly," his Alpha father said. "So, why not just ask your ex-wife for your son’s pictures and videos?"

"Abeoji, please stop calling Lim Garam my ex-wife. You’re hurting my feelings," Song Sihyuk complained lightly, and his Alpha father just rolled his eyes at that. "I can’t send Lim Garam a message because I’m afraid I might not just ask about our son."

It was also the reason why he would only call Gunwoo and not Lim Garam.

My wife needs space, so I can’t act clingy anymore.

Plus, Song Sihyuk wasn’t sure how his pheromones would react around Lim Garam.

Seong Kyungmin is confident that Lim Garam’s pheromones can help me, but I don’t want to bother my wife with my problems.

"Fine. You’re an adult— you know what you’re doing," his Alpha father said, sighing while shaking his head. "As long as you provide for Lim Garam and Gunwoo, I won’t meddle with how you handle your family affairs. But there’s something that I need to meddle with."

"What are you talking about, Abeoji?"

"There are rumors of you ’dating’ Cho Dongpyo again."

Song Sihyuk almost spat out his coffee. "Excuse me?"

"Oh. I was just about to ask if that was true. But seeing how you reacted, then I guess it’s safe to say that the rumor wasn’t true."

"Of course, it wasn’t true, Abeoji. Did you think I would date Cho Dongpyo again when I already have Lim Garam?"

"No, but I was wondering why you were hanging out with Cho Dongpyo again."

"It’s just all for business, Abeoji."

"Does Cho Dongpyo know that?" his Alpha father asked. "That kid seems pretty delusional."

"Abeoji, where did you learn that word?"

"I’m studying how young people talk these days," his Alpha father said proudly. "I want to be a cool grandfather for Gunwoo, after all."

Aigooya.

My parents really adore my son.

Anyway, Song Sihyuk was about to tell his Alpha father that he shouldn’t worry about the issue with Cho Dongpyo.

But he stopped abruptly when he got a phone call from Mija.

His Alpha father also got a call, and it was from his grandfather’s chief secretary.

Oh, I have a bad feeling about this.

***

GARAM was inside the classroom watching Gunwoo interact with his teacher and classmates.

He wasn’t the only parent there.

It was a part of the school’s tradition to let parents watch their children on their first day of class.

Lee Wonjae didn’t come with him because his secretary approached him earlier for a report. The report seemed serious because his Omega father-in-law immediately excused himself and made a phone call.

I hope everything is alright.

"Dad, did you see me answer Teacher’s question earlier?"

Garam snapped out of his trance and smiled at Gunwoo who immediately clung to his leg.

It was already the kids’ break time.

The other children were snacking now.

I should bring out my baby’s food, too.

"Yes, baby. I saw it. You did well," Garam said proudly. "I also heard you speak English with your classmates. Very good, baby."

Gunwoo smiled, and then his gaze went past Garam. "Papa, look. Grandpa brought many friends with him."

Hmm?

Appa did what?

When Garam looked at the door, he was surprised to see Lee Wonjae standing there with several bodyguards.

Okay, just what is going on now?

***

"THE ex-chairman is in critical condition?" Garam asked while covering Gunwoo’s ears. "And he wants to gather everyone in the family for his final will?"

Garam and Gunwoo had to leave the school early because of that emergency.

Hence, right now, they were in the car headed to Chairman Song Sanggyu’s house.

Yes, the former chairman didn’t want to be confined in the hospital and insisted on staying at home for his last few days here.

"That’s right, dear," Lee Wonjae confirmed. "My husband and my son sent us these many bodyguards because they wanted to make sure that their greedy relatives wouldn’t try to harm us. After all, they believe Gunwoo would receive a huge inheritance from my father-in-law."

Oh.

Garam hugged Gunwoo tighter.

My son is going to be the center of this new family drama, huh?
