Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha-Chapter 210: SEAL THE DEAL

"GARAM-AH, how are you feeling?"

Oh.

Garam blinked slowly, remembering where he was.

He felt a little bit disoriented after waking up.

But when Gerard’s gentle face greeted him, he remembered that he was in the older Omega’s private clinic.

Right, I donated my pheromones.

Doing that was like donating his blood.

"Did I faint?"

"Yes, you did," Gerard confirmed while nodding. "You were out for 2 minutes."

"Oh, not long, then," Garam said while getting up. He still felt a little weak, so he ended up leaning against the headboard of the hospital bed. "Please don’t tell Sihyuk Hyung. He tends to be overprotective."

"I know. But I would have called your fiancé had you not woken up for another minute."

"I’m glad that I woke up when I did, then," Garam said, relieved that he didn’t have to deal with Song Sihyuk’s nagging. "Anyway, is it done, Gerard? Can I leave now?"

"Yes, it’s already one. But stay here for a little bit longer," Gerard said while handing Garam a biscuit and a bottle of sparkling water. "Have this while you rest."

To be honest, Garam hesitated for a moment.

He didn’t like receiving food from people he had just met, after all.

However...

I’ll trust Byungho-ssi’s husband.

Plus, Song Sihyuk was just in the other room, donating his pheromones in a separate place.

It was Garam’s request for the two of them to use different rooms.

I want to talk to Gerard in private, after all.

"Thank you, Gerard," Garam said when he accepted the biscuit and the sparkling water. "Uhm, I have a question."

"Go ahead."

"You know that my body is weak after I gave birth to my son, right? That and because I was originally a Beta who was turned into an Omega."

"Yes, I know about it. Dongpyo also showed me your medical records."

"Oh, he did."

That bastard, really...

"I know it’s wrong for Dongpyo to do that without your permission, but he did that with good intentions," Gerard explained. "He showed me your medical records because he wanted to repay you by helping you get better. We have developed a medicine that would help you transition back to being a Beta. It’s not going to be cheap, even if we give you a discount. But I suppose money won’t be a problem for you and Sihyuk."

"Yeah, Hyung can afford it, but that’s not what I want anymore," Garam confessed. "I want to stay an Omega."

"Really? Even though you’ll be better once you become a Beta again?" Gerard tilted his head to one side. "Are you scared that Sihyuk might leave you for an Omega? After all, a special Alpha like him might not be satisfied with a Beta."

I’m glad Hyung isn’t here, or else he’ll snap because of Gerard’s comment.

"Gerard, this may sound arrogant, and you might think I’m being delusional, but Sihyuk Hyung would rather die than cheat on me with another Omega. He’s not a slave to his pheromones," Garam said confidently. "I’m sure Sihyuk Hyung can live and endure it even if I lose my pheromones as an Omega. But I don’t want him to suffer."

"You’re the one who’s going to suffer if you stay an Omega, though."

"That’s why I’m asking if you have a medicine that can help me."

"Of course, we do."

Okay, that shocked Garam.

"But the medicine alone won’t work on its own," Gerard said. "You need your partner’s help, so you can’t keep it a secret from him."

"Oh."

"And the medicine is more expensive than the medicine to help you become a Beta. After all, the medicine that helps you stay an Omega is rare. It’s a medicine that only works on Omegas who have turned into a Beta using the miracle pills. It has very specific components, hence the astronomical price. Moreover, it’s a medicine that will practically change your whole designated sex. Of course, it’s going to cost a fortune."

It wasn’t like Garam didn’t have money of his own.

I may not be a chaebol, but I’m also pretty well-off.

"How much are we talking about here, Gerard?"

And Garam almost choked on his saliva when Gerard told him the exact price.

It’s the price of a whole mansion in a gated community here in the US!

Yeah, Garam could afford it.

But it’s gonna hurt my finances, so...

"Please put it on Sihyuk Hyung’s tab."

***

GARAM watched nervously as Song Sihyuk glanced at the bill that he had just paid for using his black credit card.

You know, the limitless card that only the elite are eligible for.

Song Sihyuk came to his room in the clinic after paying their bill.

Gerard stepped out to give them privacy.

"Are you feeling better, Garam-ah?" Song Sihyuk asked after crumbling the bill as if it didn’t matter. "Should we go home now?"

What the heck?

Song Sihyuk paid millions of dollars with just one swipe, and yet the Alpha didn’t even bat an eye!

"Hyung, did you check the bill?"

"Yeah, I did."

"You practically paid for a mansion."

"It’s no big deal," Song Sihyuk said, blinking as if he were confused as to why Garam was making a big fuss over it. "It’s for your medicine, Garam-ah. Even if it makes me bankrupt, I’ll still buy it for you. Not that spending a few million dollars would make me go broke."

Aigooya.

Hyung is really filthy rich.

"Do you even know what kind of medicine you just paid for?"

Song Sihyuk nodded. "It’s the medicine that will help you transition safely back into being a Beta, right? Cho Dongpyo mentioned it to me."

"And you’re really okay if I become a Beta again?"

"Of course. It will help you completely recover, after all."

"Gerard was worried that you might cheat on me with an Omega if I become a Beta again..."

Oops.

Garam grabbed Song Sihyuk by the arm when the Alpha was about to bolt out of the room, his face murderous and his pheromones stinky.

Yeah, no doubt Song Sihyuk was about to confront Gerard.

No, it actually looks like Sihyuk Hyung is about to kill someone.

"I misspoke, Hyung," Garam said in a hurry, feeling guilty that he almost got Gerard killed. "Actually, Gerard just asked me if I was afraid that you might cheat on me if I become a Beta again because he wanted to make sure that I’m making the right decision."

Song Sihyuk let out a frustrated sigh. "Even so, why would that bastard plant that idea in your head?"

"He was just worried about me, I guess."

"Garam-ah, I know you don’t trust me fully. And that’s fine with me because it’s my fault anyway. But please know that I will never cheat on you."

"I know that, Hyung. But I can see where Gerard is coming from. After all, if I become a Beta again, I’ll lose my pheromones. You need my pheromones, don’t you?"

"No, I don’t need something that will kill you. I can live without your pheromones, but losing you will kill me instantly."

It wasn’t supposed to be romantic.

But, admittedly, hearing that moved Garam’s heart.

Sihyuk Hyung’s love can be suffocating sometimes, but I guess I’m already used to it.

"Hyung."

"Yeah?"

"Gerard asked me that question because he was wondering if the fear of you cheating on me was the reason that I decided to stay an Omega."

"What?"

"I want to stay an Omega, Hyung," Garam said, holding Song Sihyuk’s hands. "The medicine you paid for isn’t to help me become a Beta again— it’s actually medicine to help me stay an Omega with less risks. Hence, the astronomical price."

"But why would you decide to stay an Omega, Garam-ah?" Song Sihyuk asked, confused and worried. The Alpha even squeezed Garam’s hands gently. "Your body will remain weak if you stay an Omega."

"Like I said earlier, the very expensive medicine that you just paid for will reduce the complications I got after giving birth."

"Did you decide to stay an Omega because of me? For me?"

"I don’t want you to suffer even more. You’ll be in pain forever if I lose my pheromones, Hyung."

"But I can endure it. I don’t want you to risk your life for me again, Garam-ah. Your body turned that way because I changed you. And then you gave birth to our son."

"And I don’t regret that. I may regret marrying you, but I’ll never regret having Gunwoo."

"Garam-ah..."

"Don’t worry too much, Hyung. Gerard and his colleagues are developing medicine that will help people like me. I won’t die just because I decided to stay an Omega."

Song Sihyuk blinked, and then he shook his head.

"What’s wrong, Hyung?"

"Nothing. I’m just trying not to be delusional, or get my head big."

"Huh?"

"Well, you chose to stay an Omega for me," Song Sihyuk said, obviously holding back a big smile. "It makes me think that you still love me— that you actually love me more than you want to admit."

Aigooya.

Garam could neither deny or admit that, so he just rolled his eyes. "Maybe, maybe not."

"You don’t have to say anything, Garam-ah— I can feel your love. Thank you for loving a scumbag like me."

"Like I said, I’m doing the world a huge favor by keeping you," Garam said teasingly, and then he got up from his seat. "By the way, can you ask Appa and Abeoji to look after our Gunwoo for one more day?"

"Sure. But why? Do you want to go somewhere our son won’t be allowed to?"

"Yeah. I want to have sex with you, Hyung."

Song Sihyuk suddenly had a coughing fit— his face suddenly red.

This hyung is overreacting again.

"Gerard said that the medicine alone won’t help me. Plus, the medicine can apparently trigger my heat," Garam explained, dragging Song Sihyuk by the arm. "So, let’s book a different hotel and spend a steamy day and night together."

Song Sihyuk didn’t respond verbally, but the Alpha suddenly scooped Garam up and carried him in his arms like a princess— and then he ran as if he couldn’t wait to get out of there.

Aigooya.
