Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha-Chapter 242: CHAEBOL IN THE FLESH

HOW DO YOU beat a crazy person, you ask?

Well, you just have to act crazier than them.

Song Gunwoo skipped his after-school classes for that day again.

Of course, he asked his Alpha father to cancel them for him.

And his Alpha father agreed without asking why.

If I asked my dad, I’m sure he would have asked me a lot of questions.

His Omega father wasn’t that strict— he would allow Song Gunwoo to skip classes if he wasn’t feeling well.

Or even if he was just being lazy.

But I’m sure Dad won’t allow me to skip classes without a proper explanation.

Hence, he called his Alpha father instead.

Daddy knows when I’m up to no good, but he still supports me.

"Young Master, we’ve already caught the people that Kang Taehyun hired for this "act,"" Shin Geon said in a serious tone, his face dark and serious. "We’ve paid them triple the amount that they received from Kang Taehyun."

Song Gunwoo didn’t lift his head and continued patting the head of the dog sleeping on his lap while listening to Shin Geon’s report.

Right now, the two of them were at an animal café.

Of course, he had already changed into regular clothes (clothes that Shin Jina gifted to him so he wouldn’t stand out, according to her).

My school is so prestigious that everyone will recognize it at one glance.

Shin Geon also switched from his usual black suit to a more casual get-up.

So, we probably look like a father-and-son duo bonding at a café to see cute dogs.

"You did well, Uncle," Song Gunwoo said, smiling. "Thank you."

"Young Master, please reconsider..."

"Uncle, don’t worry. I’ll make sure you won’t get scolded and punished by my parents."

"That’s not what I’m worried about, Young Master," Shin Geon said, sighing while shaking his head. "I’m worried about you. What if you get hurt? Jina and Young Lady Seulgi will cry. Please think about your little sisters."

Aww.

"Don’t worry, Uncle," Song Gunwoo assured him. "I’ll be fine. You made sure of it, didn’t you?"

"Even so..."

"I was born a lucky person, Uncle. Plus, if what I’m about to do will hurt me badly, then Mija Noona would have already been here to stop me."

That seemed to assure Shin Geon that nothing bad would happen.

After all, Mija Noona always keeps an eye on me— even if she’s not physically here.

Anyways, one of his bodyguards entered the café and gave him a subtle nod.

Oh, it’s time.

Song Gunwoo got up from his seat. "Let’s go, Uncle."

***

TO BE honest, up to the last minute, Song Gunwoo hoped that Kang Taehyun’s plan wasn’t that extreme.

Haaah.

His hope was crushed as soon as he saw a weak and dirty puppy that could barely move in the middle of the street...

... while an obviously over speeding car was rushing towards the poor puppy.

Tsk.

Song Gunwoo’s body moved on its own.

He immediately ran and picked up the puppy, hugging it close to his chest.

Unexpectedly, he scraped his knuckles and the back of his hand when he picked up the puppy in a hurry.

Oh, his knees, too.

After all, he practically dived into the pavement.

Ah, Song Gunwoo shouldn’t have worn shorts today.

It kind of stings, but...

But Song Gunwoo got distracted by the noise around him.

Seeing that a young boy rushed over to save a puppy from potentially getting hit by an overspeeding car, the crowd yelled worriedly.

The loudest screams were from the ahjummas in the food stalls lined up in the streets.

Song Gunwoo got quite nervous because he didn’t expect the car to be that fast.

But something unexpected happened.

Shin Geon grabbed Song Gunwoo as if he weighed nothing at the same time the car swerved hard.

That was not in the "script."

Shin Geon was just supposed to watch within a safe distance.

But, to be honest, even if Shin Geon hadn’t grabbed and hugged Song Gunwoo while shielding him (and the puppy) from the speeding car, they would have been fine. After all, the "script" had the driver swerving before coming close to them in the first place.

And, yes, it was the "script" that Kang Taehyun made.

That brat wanted to play hero.

Exactly why there were reporters scattered around.

Yep, there were already reporters in the area to make a big deal out of what happened.

I can see them taking my pictures, so they probably took a video, too.

Song Gunwoo had a sharp sense when it came to reporters.

My dad is a celeb, after all.

Unfortunately for Kang Taehyun, Song Gunwoo stole the spotlight.

"Young Master, are you alright?" Shin Geon asked worriedly after putting down Song Gunwoo. Then he got down on one knee and checked on him from head to toe, frowning when he saw Song Gunwoo’s hands and knees bleeding. "Let’s go to the hospital, Young Master."

"Let’s head to the vet first..."

Song Gunwoo trailed off when he spotted a luxury car near the spot where the car that swerved had stopped.

And then he saw a familiar face standing next to the door of the car’s passenger side.

It was Kang Taehyun, glaring at him.

Heh.

Song Gunwoo smiled at the brat.

I stole your spotlight, Kang Taehyun.

***

GARAM monitored the news related to Song Gunwoo while in the backseat of the car, with Shin Junho and Seulgi in the car seat.

For today, his driver was Mr. Kwak and not Shin Geon.

Geon Hyung is with Gunwoo.

So, Garam also had a different bodyguard today— Mr. Seo, the one sitting in the passenger seat.

But it didn’t mean that only Mr. Kwak and Mr. Seo were there as his bodyguards.

At least two vans are behind us— and those convoys are composed of security teams.

Anyway, Garam was headed to the location that Shin Geon had sent him earlier.

Apparently, Gunwoo insisted on going to the vet first instead of a hospital for his injuries.

"It seems like the reporters haven’t figured out that the young master is the heir to SG Group yet," Shin Junho said while monitoring the situation as well with the help of his computer tablet. "I talked to the PR Team earlier, Garam-ah. They said they’re already doing their best to take down the articles."

"But Gunwoo’s pictures have already gone viral," Garam said worriedly. "I mean, I’m happy that most comments are positive. But why are grown adults going crazy over a child’s visuals? Tsk."

This was why he had shielded Song Gunwoo from the media ever since he was little.

The entertainment industry is full of predators, after all.

And he wasn’t just talking about the big shots in the industry.

Even fans could be perverts, too— especially towards young celebrities...

Oh!

Garam’s train of thought was interrupted when fresh articles suddenly poured in with almost the same headlines.

<Song Gunwoo— the brave young boy who saved a puppy, is a chaebol...!>

<The viral little hero turns out to be the one and only son of SG Group’s Chairman Song Sihyuk and Soloist Lim Garam...!>

<A diamond spoon with a golden heart...!>

Both Garam and Shin Junho gasped after reading the articles.

My baby’s identity has been revealed!

"Junho Hyung, please contact the PR Team again," Garam said while calling Song Sihyuk. "Make sure they’ll take down the articles immediately."

SONG GUNWOO insisted on going to a vet first instead of a hospital for his minor injuries.

Fortunately, the doctors there treated his wounds.

He only got scrapes here and then, so he didn’t really need to go to a big hospital.

Song Gunwoo bowed his head after the female vet finished cleaning his wounds.

She even put cute Band-Aids on his small cuts.

"Thank you, Doctor Cha."

Dr. Cha, one of the vets in that animal clinic, smiled at him. "You’re welcome, Gunwoo-ya."

Yeah, he gave his name earlier.

Of course, it was only polite to introduce himself to the people saving the puppy that he had just saved.

"Don’t worry too much, Gunwoo-ya," Dr. Cha assured him. "Dr. Lee is a good doctor— the puppy you saved will be fine."

The puppy in question was currently undergoing a surgery for a broken bone.

That’s why the puppy can’t move.

"I trust you, Dr. Cha," Song Gunwoo said, smiling. "And Dr. Lee, too."

"You speak well, Gunwoo-ya."

Song Gunwoo just smiled politely.

"Young Master, the madam and the chairman are headed here."

Oh, no.

Song Gunwoo forgot to tell Shin Geon to address him casually while in the clinic.

So, now, Dr. Cha and the other staff were looking at Song Gunwoo with slightly wide eyes as if wondering why he was called a young master.

Even the other clients in the clinic were stealing glances at Song Gunwoo now.

It couldn’t be helped.

Only the truly rich in this country get to be called a ’young master,’ after all.

Song Gunwoo pretended not to notice the curious glances thrown in his direction while asking Shin Geon if his parents were arriving together.

And then...

"Song Gunwoo, the SG Group’s heir?"

Hmm?

A collective gasp was heard from the people around them.

Song Gunwoo noticed that most of the "audience" were glancing back and forth between Song Gunwoo and their phones.

Ah, the articles about me must have been pouring in already.

"Truly a young master..."

"Wow. It’s my first time seeing a chaebol in real life..." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I didn’t know Lim Garam’s son was already this big..."

The people around him began talking about him in "whispers."

I can totally hear them, though.

"Young Master, let me escort you to the car," Shin Geon whispered politely. "I will send someone to stay here until the puppy’s surgery is over."

Song Gunwoo wanted to insist on staying.

But before he could say anything...

"Gunwoo-ya!"

Song Gunwoo lifted his head and smiled when he saw his Omega father rushing towards him. "Dad, I’m fine."

His Omega father just frowned, and then he bent his knees and checked on Song Gunwoo from head to toe.

Then his Omega father became teary after seeing his scraped hands and knees.

The wounds were already cleaned and treated, but of course, an injury was still an injury.

I really shouldn’t have worn shorts today.

"Oh, it’s Garam-ssi..."

"Who?"

"A former idol. He’s a soloist now..."

"And he’s married to Chairman Song of SG Group..."

The people around them recognized Song Gunwoo’s Omega father immediately.

But Dad looks like he can’t hear them because he’s so focused on me.

"Did you drop by the hospital earlier?" his Omega father asked worriedly. "I thought Geon Hyung said you insisted on going to the vet first."

"Yes, Dad," Song Gunwoo said, and then he pointed at Dr. Cha politely, with both hands. "Dr. Cha here cleaned and treated my wounds for me."

His Omega father immediately stood up straight and bowed to the doctor. "Thank you for treating my son’s wounds, ma’am."

Dr. Cha’s face turned red as if she were embarrassed, and then she waved her hands frantically. "N-No, not at all. I just did what I had to do, sir."

His Omega father smiled gently, making Dr. Cha more flustered.

Dad just has that kind of effect on people.

Song Gunwoo got distracted again when he heard the door open.

This time, it was his Alpha father who arrived.

"Daddy."

"Gunwoo-ya, are you alright?" his Alpha father asked worriedly, but his Alpha father’s arm was already wrapped around his Omega father’s waist, pulling his close to him. "Are you hurt anywhere..."

His Alpha father trailed off when he saw Song Gunwoo’s wounds, and then he frowned.

"I’m okay, Daddy," Song Gunwoo said, and then he quickly changed the topic. "The puppy I saved is currently undergoing surgery for a broken bone, so I’m waiting here until the surgery is over."

That day ended with Song Gunwoo’s success...

... but soon— for the first time ever— his Omega father hit him out of anger.
