I'll Raise My Future Omega Son-in-law-Chapter 128: AFTERMATH

AFTER Yun Yuhyun calmed down, Wonyoung called for Aunt Rosa and asked the nanny to make a cup of hot chocolate for his son.

It was particularly a cold morning, after all.

Well, it’s already close to noon. But since I just woke up, it’s still morning for me.

"How’s the hot chocolate, Yuhyun-ah?"

"It tastes good, Papa. I like Grandma Rosa’s hot chocolate."

Right.

Yuhyun calls Aunt Rosa ’Grandma.’

"Have you calmed down?" Wonyoung asked worriedly. "I assume you were crying because your father already told you about our divorce."

Yun Yuhyun placed the cup down on the bedside table and nodded. "Yes, Papa. And Daddy also said you’re leaving the house to live with An Baekya."

He felt a pang in his chest when he saw and heard how sad his son was.

To be honest, Wonyoung wasn’t prepared yet.

I don’t know how to tell Yuhyun that I’m not choosing An Baekya over him...

"Papa, I’m still your son, right?"

"Of course," Wonyoung said immediately while nodding. "Nothing will change between us, Yuhyun. You’re still my baby."

"And I can see Papa whenever I want?"

"Yes, of course."

"I want to go with you when you leave the house, Papa."

Wonyoung thought he would have a hard time deciding while imagining the scenario where Yun Yuhyun would ask him that very question.

After all, the doctor strongly advised Yun Yuhyun and An Baekya to live separately.

However, it didn’t take him a minute to decide.

"Yes, you can go with me, Yuhyun-ah."

Yun Yuhyun smiled as if he were relieved. "Thank you for saying that, Papa. But I’m going to stay with Daddy, after all."

"Huh? You don’t want to go with me anymore?"

"It’s not that I don’t want to go with Papa— it’s just that Daddy said Papa needs to heal after he hurt you."

Aigoo.

Hyung, you said that much to our baby?

"Yuhyun-ah, it’s true that your daddy has hurt me, and that’s the reason we’re divorcing," Wonyoung said carefully. "But none of that is your fault. I won’t hate you for something that your daddy did."

"But I look Daddy, Papa."

"What does that have to do with this?"

"I don’t want Papa to remember what Daddy did every time you look at me."

What?

Wonyoung couldn’t believe what Yun Yuhyun had just said.

That was too complex for a child to figure out, so how did his son manage to come up with that conclusion?

"Yuhyun-ah, I don’t hate the fact that you look like your daddy."

Yun Yuhyun’s eyes suddenly turned teary. "I don’t remind Papa of the bad things that Daddy did to you?"

"No, of course not," Wonyoung said firmly while shaking his head, and then he cupped his son’s face between his hands. "Baby, you’re not a reminder of your father’s mistakes towards me. To me, you’re my baby."

They had come so far.

Wonyoung would admit that he didn’t expect to love Yun Yuhyun as much as he loved him now when they met for the first time.

But everything had changed now.

I can’t imagine living without my baby.

"Thank you for not hating me, Papa," Yun Yuhyun said, and then he hugged Wonyoung. "I love you, Papa."

Aww.

Wonyoung’s heart almost melted.

Is this the first time Yuhyun said he loves me?

That made his heart swell with happiness.

"Me too, baby," Wonyoung said softly, hugging Yun Yuhyun tight. "I love you, Yuhyun-ah."

***

WONYOUNG, despite the heaviness in his chest, managed to pack his bags.

Meanwhile, Yun Yuhyun said he couldn’t watch him do that.

So, his son returned to his bedroom.

I just hope my baby isn’t crying again.

BRRR...

Aigoo.

Wonyoung gulped hard when he saw his phone ringing again.

This time, it was from Chairman Yun Hyuk— his father-in-law.

I already got a call from Appa earlier.

But he also didn’t pick up his Omega father-in-law’s call.

I can’t talk to them with my voice like this.

Plus, Wonyoung didn’t know why his in-laws were suddenly calling him.

Have they heard about the divorce already?

That was scary.

Wonyoung was about to turn off his phone again, but he suddenly got a call again.

This time, from an unknown number.

He couldn’t ignore it since it might be a call from work, so he picked it up cautiously.

Usually, he would have greeted the caller first.

But aside from the fact that his throat hurt a little, he also had an ominous feeling as soon as he picked up the call.

Hence, he kept quiet.

"Wonyoung-ssi, are you running away again?"

Huh?

This voice...

All the hairs on Wonyoung stood up, so he immediately ended the call.

***

"YOU JUST have to sign the divorce papers. I’ll take care of everything else. And I’ll make sure you’ll receive your alimony as soon as possible."

Wonyoung nodded.

He couldn’t really look at Yun Dujun, so he was glad that the Alpha was driving while he was in the passenger seat.

Hence, he wouldn’t be rude even if he didn’t make eye contact with him.

Wonyoung’s eyes were still red and puffy from crying, and his voice was still a little hoarse.

Fortunately, it seemed like Yun Dujun didn’t mind his silence.

However, he couldn’t keep quiet for too long since he had something to say to the Alpha.

"Father-in-law and Appa called me, but I didn’t pick up," Wonyoung said, his voice still rough. "I can’t talk to them with my voice like this. But I sent them a message asking for their understanding. Even so, I feel like I’ve been rude to them. Do they already know about our divorce?"

"I reached out to our lawyer who handles the divorce in the family, so yes, they probably know already," Yun Dujun said, nodding. "Don’t worry. I’ll talk to them. I’m going to explain everything, so it’s fine if you ignore them for now. They’ll understand since I’m the one who messed up anyway."

Wonyoung nodded, and then he remembered something else. "Unknown numbers kept calling me, Hyung. Whenever I block the caller, they just use a new number."

"Do you have any idea who the caller might be?"

"I answered the call once— and I believe it was your family shaman."

Wonyoung turned to Yun Dujun in time to see the Alpha’s face darken.

Oh.

Hyung is mad.

Yun Dujun wasn’t mad at Wonyoung, but he could feel the Alpha’s anger.

Especially when his stinky pheromones leaked out.

"Hyung, your pheromones..."

"Oh, I’m sorry," Yun Dujun said, immediately toning down his pheromones until they vanished. "I’ll tell the shaman not to bother you, so don’t worry about it."

"I can’t change my number since it’s the one I put in my acting portfolio that I sent to different agencies, so please take care of it for me, Hyung."

"Yes, I will."

"Thank you."

When they arrived at Wonyoung’s old apartment— the one where An Baekya and Bae Gayoung were currently living in— Yun Dujun didn’t open the car doors immediately.

That was fine with him.

Despite everything that happened, Hyung doesn’t make me feel scared.

"Wonyoung-ah, I still can’t believe that you didn’t get mad at me as much as you probably should."

"Are you calling me a pushover?"

"No, of course not," Yun Dujun denied firmly, immediately shaking his head. "I’m just grateful to you, Wonyoung-ah."

"You’re talking as if I’ve completely forgiven you already, Hyung. I don’t have the energy to get mad at you, but I have lots of energy to doubt you," Wonyoung said in a tired voice. "If I were you, I would be more scared of indifference than anger. Because once I stop caring for you to the point that I can’t even waste my anger on you, that means I’m totally over you."

Yun Dujun flinched, probably realizing that indifference was— indeed— scarier than anger.

That was how it was for Wonyoung.

But, a little later, Yun Dujun would get what he ’wanted’: Wonyoung’s full wrath, caused by a very unfortunate incident.

***

"OPPA, you and Dujun Oppa are divorcing? What about the kids? He’s an Alpha, Oppa. If he brings you to court for the children’s custody, then Dujun Oppa will win easily."

Aigoo.

Wonyoung could understand where Bae Gayoung’s concern was coming from.

After all, it was true that Alphas would almost always win against Omegas in court.

It’s unfair, but this damned society favors Alphas too much.

It didn’t help that the country was run by Alphas who believed they were superior to Omegas and Betas.

And those Alphas have no intention to change the world that makes their lives comfortable.

Anyways...

Bae Gayoung was already at home when Wonyoung arrived.

Her cousin was shocked to see his luggage, so he told her about the divorce.

An Baekya, on the other hand, was taking his afternoon nap at the moment.

He still has the body of a child despite having an adult mind, after all.

"Wonyoung Oppa, I know you have money now. But Dujun Oppa is richer and more powerful than you. I don’t mean to dishearten you, but we have to face reality."

"Dujun Hyung said he won’t fight me for the children’s custody, Gayoung-ah. So, don’t worry about it. Even I know that I can’t win against Dujun Hyung if he takes me to court. That’s why I asked him not to do that, if he had any conscience left."

"Oppa, you can’t trust Dujun Oppa anymore," Bae Gayoung said in a serious tone. "Make him sign a contract that says he won’t take you to court for that. And make sure that you’ll get your alimony. Alphas are cunning people— don’t let your guard down, Wonyoung Oppa."

Pfft.

Gayoung is really an adult now.

Wonyoung smiled and nodded. "I will, Gayoung-ah. Thank you for the advice."

Bae Gayoung sighed while shaking her head. "Do the kids already know, Oppa?"

"Yes, they do. Yun Yuhyun cried a lot."

"Aigoo. My poor nephew," Bae Gayoung said in a voice full of sympathy. "Wonyoung Oppa, this divorce will be hard for the kids. Especially to Yuhyun since you left the house."

"I’ll make sure that my baby won’t feel like I’ve abandoned him," Wonyoung assured Bae Gayoung. "I’ll be a proper father to Yuhyun this time."

’This time?’

Even Wonyoung was weirded out by his choice of words.

***

"DON’T LOOK at me. Your face... your eyes... they remind me of your father! I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!"

"P-Papa...?"

Yun Yuhyun knew he was dreaming.

After all, there was no way his Papa would be strangling him while saying hurtful words.

But it felt real.

I can’t breathe...

Yun Yuhyun touched his neck, crying. "Papa...!"

"Yuhyun-ah?"

Hmm?

Yun Yuhyun opened his eyes, and was relieved when he saw his Daddy.

"What happened?" his daddy asked worriedly, sitting on the bed. "Did you have a bad dream?"

Oh, right.

It was just a bad dream.

"Daddy, I had a bad dream," Yun Yuhyun said, hugging his daddy’s arm. "In my dream, Papa was strangling me while saying he hated me for looking like you."

"It’s just a nightmare, Yuhyun-ah," his daddy assured him while gently patting his back. "Your papa will never hate you, and he will never hurt you either. Trust me, son."

Yun Yuhyun nodded, believing his daddy 100%.

Papa loves me, and he won’t hurt me.

Yun Yuhyun then shut his eyes tight and prayed hard.

Please don’t make my papa hate me and daddy... please bring my papa back to me... please, please, please...

***

[AN BAEKYA, this is an emergency.]

What the fuck?

That was the first thing that greeted An Baekya when he opened his eyes.

"What’s happening, System?"

[A strong force has awakened— it’s disturbing the System. Something ominous is approaching, but we can’t stop it.]

Okay, that sounded serious.

An Baekya got up with furrowed brows. "What kind of ’strong force’ are you talking about here?"

[Yun Yuhyun—]

Oh.

The System suddenly disappeared.

I’m fucked.
