Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha-Chapter 209: REBUILDING BRIDGES

IT WAS really a funny twist of fate.

Who would have expected that the childhood friend of his parents, who had gone missing a few years ago, would end up being the husband of a powerful Omega?

Garam certainly didn’t see that coming.

Are my parents looking out for me in heaven?

Whatever it was, he had a feeling that he just hit the jackpot.

"I met Gerard when I came to the U.S for a short vacation, right after that brat Song Sihyuk took over my small business," Kang Byungho said, sharing his love story that no one asked for excitedly. "But, as you already know, my short vacation quickly turned into a permanent stay. This is a bit embarrassing to say, but I got Gerard pregnant before I was supposed to return to Korea."

Oh, that was surprising.

Kang Byungho was a Beta, after all.

But is it possible for a Beta to get a male Omega pregnant?

There was a reason why Alphas suited male Omegas the best.

However, Garam didn’t think much of it when he remembered that Kang Byungho’s husband was the vice president of the wild Omegas.

Mr. Gerard probably created a medicine that allowed him to get pregnant with a Beta’s baby.

Garam thought it was none of his business.

"That’s what made me decide to stay here in the U.S," Kang Byungho said, smiling. "Gerard and I got married after he gave birth to our twins."

Oh, wow.

Kang Byungho was just a few years younger than Garam’s parents.

But since the three grew up in an orphanage, they all became friends despite their small age gap.

I think Byungho-ssi is in his late forties or early fifties.

And Gerard seemed to be just a bit younger than Kang Byungho.

Ah, Mr. Gerard must have a hard time giving birth at his age, then.

Anyways, the two looked happily married.

"Congratulations, Byungho-ssi and Mr. Gerard," Garam said, smiling. He was already being extra nice and polite to Kang Byungho to earn some brownie points. "I’m glad to know that you’re living well, Byungho-ssi. I have always wondered what happened to you. I actually wanted to look for you, but..."

"Yeah, I know. You don’t have to say it— I can tell that you lost your freedom after marrying that bastard— I mean, Sihyuk-ssi," Kang Byungho said, nodding as if he was sympathizing with Garam. "I’m sorry, Garam-ah. Because of me, you met Sihyuk-ssi. I was shocked when I heard that the two of you got married. But I thought I didn’t have the right to meddle with your personal life, so I didn’t. I regret that, though."

Aww.

Garam could already tell that this meeting was in his favor, but he remained calm and acted unsuspecting.

I have to act like I’m not expecting anything.

"You’re the only son of the hyung and noona who took care of me when I was in the orphanage. I was supposed to look after you when your parents died. And, yet, I let you marry a bad man."

Song Sihyuk scoffed. "Byungho-ssi, stop acting like I’m not here."

Kang Byungho ignored Song Sihyuk and continued talking to Garam as if he were talking to a child. "Let me make it up to you now, Garam-ah. How can we help you?"

JACKPOT.

Even so, Garam still remained calm as he spoke. "Byungho-ssi, I appreciate your offer. But I don’t think you can decide that on your own." He smiled apologetically at Kang Byungho before looking at Gerard. "I’m sorry, Mr. Gerard. We got sidetracked."

"It’s alright, Garam," Gerard said. He looked quite cold, but he spoke kindly. His eyes were also warm, unlike his vibes. "Now that I know that you are the child of my husband’s precious childhood friends, it changes things. I can’t ask for your son’s pheromones anymore. After all, your child is like a grandchild to my husband."

Right?

Kang Byungho looked relieved that Gerard was willing to back down.

But, of course, Garam wasn’t that shameless.

Plus, I don’t want to owe them a debt.

"A deal is still a deal," Garam said, obviously confusing Song Sihyuk. The Alpha was probably wondering why he was still insisting, but he just ignored him. "Mr. Gerard, instead of my son’s pheromones, I’ll give you mine. I’m a Beta who has been turned into an Omega successfully. Moreover, I was able to give birth and survive. Well, I got sick because of that. Even so, don’t you think my pheromones would be more interesting than the pheromones of a young Alpha?"

"Gerard, I was actually thinking that Garam-ssi’s pheromones could help us more with our research," Cho Dongpyo, who spoke for the first time in a while, said. "His and Sihyuk-ssi’s pheromones, to be precise."

"Alright, I understand," Gerard said while nodding. "Then let’s do that."

Garam was just about to thank Gerard, but...

"Thank you, honey," Kang Byungho said, hugging Gerard and kissing the latter on the cheek. "You’re the best!"

And Gerard blushed.

Aigooya.

Garam thought he really lucked out by being connected to Kang Byungho.

Now I’m sure that my parents are looking after me, wherever they are.

"HYUNG, I just realized that I haven’t introduced you to my parents yet," Garam said as soon as Song Sihyuk started driving. Yes, they had just finished their meeting with Gerard, Kang Byungho, and Cho Dongpyo. "Let’s visit my parents’ grave once we return to Korea. I haven’t brought our son there either."

"Alright. I’d love that," Song Sihyuk said while nodding. "I also feel extra grateful to your parents. Thanks to them, Kang Byungho did us a huge favor. We’re also lucky that Gerard seems to be very in love with Kang Byungho."

Right?

"I guess my luck has finally turned around," Garam said, "Maybe the universe is rewarding me for marrying you for the second time, Hyung. Keeping you all to myself so you wouldn’t be able to hurt anyone else is like doing public service."

"Yah."

Garam just chuckled.

Yes, he knew he was being mean to Song Sihyuk.

But the Alpha didn’t seem like he cared about his teasing.

Having said that...

"Just tell me if I’m being too mean, Hyung."

"Garam-ah, you have all the right to insult me from head to toe every single day. I don’t care— I deserve it," Song Sihyuk said casually. "I’ll accept any kind of love you give me, as long as you stay with me."

That wasn’t supposed to sound romantic.

You’re not supposed to settle for less.

However, this kind of love suited Garam and Song Sihyuk just fine.

"Hyung."

"Yeah."

"Can we get married outside Korea?"

"Sure," Song Sihyuk said, his mood obviously improved now that they were talking about their wedding. "I actually did my own research. If it were up to me, I’d like us to get married in the Philippines."

Garam didn’t consider that country, but that made him curious. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"Why the Philippines, Hyung?"

Song Sihyuk grinned as if he were suddenly turned into a mischievous teenager. "There’s no divorce there, Garam-ah."

Aigooya.
