I'll Raise My Future Omega Son-in-law-Chapter 163: MESSY FAMILY DRAMA

YUN DUJUN couldn’t believe he brought Bae Wonyoung to the hospital again.

But here we are.

His husband fainted during the press conference.

Fortunately, the hotel where the press conference had taken place was just three-minutes’ drive from a university hospital.

The doctors said Bae Wonyoung fainted from exhaustion.

Hence, he just booked a VIP Room for his husband.

Bae Wonyoung needed to stay there anyway because of the IV drip that would take around 45-90 minutes.

"Dujun-ah, your entire family is trending."

Yun Dujun lifted his head and saw Spencer Choi looking amused while glued to his phone.

His boss was the happy-go-lucky kind, so he was never bothered that Spencer Choi might get stressed because of the ’scandal.’

But I also didn’t expect Daepyonim to be this delighted...

"Ah, by the way, you lost 2-3 endorsements. They called and said they wouldn’t renew your contract."

To be honest, Yun Dujun didn’t care but...

"I’m sorry, Hyung."

Well, he thought he still owed Spencer Choi an apology.

"It’s rare for you to apologize so sincerely like that," Spencer Choi, lifting his head to look at Yun Dujun. "This may sound irresponsible, but you know Hanbyeol Entertainment is just a ’hobby’ to me. I have other sources of income since I’m filthy rich. And I’m the baby of the family. So, I can still run the company even if we suffer a major loss."

Of course.

Spencer Hyung is a chaebol, after all.

"Having said that, I’m a sore loser, so I don’t like losing," Spencer Choi said, grinning like a fool. "That means I wouldn’t have scouted you had I known you were going to cause me a huge loss. After all, I knew from the start that you’re married with a son. But I still gambled— all because I knew you would be a big star. And I was right. In just six years, you became one of the top actors in the country. You’ve brought more money than what we’ve lost so far, so don’t worry about the few endorsements that we’ve lost."

"Do you think I can still bounce back from this? Me and Wonyoung."

"Of course. I saw the same potential I saw in you in Wonyoung-ssi. That’s why I scouted him, knowing that this could happen."

"I thought you were just being irresponsible."

Spencer Choi chuckled while shaking his head. "Dujun-ah, I’m actually banking on you when I scouted Wonyoung-ssi. I just know that this scandal won’t be your downfall. You did not do drugs, and you did not kill anyone. If Alphas who have rape cases left and right still have their blooming career, there’s no way you’d lose yours just because you hid your husband and son. You’re an actor, not an idol. Moreover..."

"What?"

"I don’t want to say this, but people love their Alphas. It’s unfair, but that’s how it is. If an Omega hid his partner and child, he’d already lost his career while the netizens shredded him to pieces online. The only reason it hasn’t happened to Wonyoung-ssi is because you’re the one who hid your marriage and not the other way around."

That left a bitter taste in Yun Dujun’s mouth, but he couldn’t deny what Spencer Choi had just said.

It’s true that people are more forgiving of Alphas than Omegas.

"Anyway, the reaction of the public isn’t as bad as I expected," Spencer Choi said. "It’s probably because you’re an actor. And you rarely do fan service. So, your fans aren’t that parasocial. Most of them like you for your acting. Hence, they don’t care about your private life. They also believe that it’s not your responsibility to share your personal affairs with them."

Yun Dujun was relieved to hear that.

I’m glad the majority of my fans are mature and sane.

"Of course, there are fans who feel betrayed and are quite harsh in expressing their disappointment. They mostly attack Wonyoung-ssi, so make sure your husband won’t lurk around the internet in the meantime."

"Yeah, I have no intention of even letting Wonyoung touch his phone."

"I have a feeling that this ’scandal’ will die down soon," Spencer Choi said confidently. "The general public reacted the way most of your fans did— they don’t care about your personal life. Actually, the majority of them are just relieved that your ’scandal’ has nothing to do with drugs, rape, or tax evasion. It helped that you gaslit them."

"How did I gaslight them?"

"You insisted that you never lied about your civil status since you never claimed that you were single."

"That wasn’t gaslighting— it’s the truth."

"Sure, Dujun-ah. Sure."

Yun Dujun just rolled his eyes. "Enough about that. What happened to the article that we released about Lee Heeju and Kim Seojun?"

"As expected, it was wiped off the internet. Junsung Group sure moves fast," Spencer Choi said, clicking his tongue while shaking his head. "But a lot of Kim Seojun’s antis have screenshots of the article, and it’s going semi-viral now. Unfortunately, all the posts with Lee Heeju’s name are taken down instantly. So, everyone probably knows that Kim Seojun is a sugar baby by now. But they don’t know that the sponsor is Junsung Group’s Vice President Lee Heeju. It can’t be helped since we’re fighting a chaebol here."

"It’s fine since it’s just the ’appetizer.’"

"Right. Should we release it now?" Spencer Choi asked. "The follow-up articles to clear Wonyoung-ssi’s name. That’s your priority, right?"

"Yes, I don’t want people trampling on Wonyoung’s hard work," Yun Dujun said, nodding. "I don’t care if I lose my career as long as Wonyoung’s career is saved."

***

YUN DUJUN monitored the articles that Hanbyeol Entertainment to prove that Bae Wonyoung auditioned properly to get the roles that he bagged recently.

The articles were accompanied by videos that showed not only Bae Wonyoung’s audition, but also the audition tapes of other actors who tried for the same role. Of course, they got permission to share the videos.

Thankfully, the people Bae Wonyoung worked with all volunteered to help.

Hence, the directors— who had the right to share the videos with or without the actors’ permission, as stated in the contract that they signed— shared them with Hanbyeol Entertainment.

The first video was Bae Wonyoung’s audition tape when he acted like a zombie.

A dancing zombie, at that.

The top comments were full of praise for Bae Wonyoung.

<wonyoung oppa stood out! he’s the only one who understood his role immediately! no wonder he became summer unnie’s male lead>

<if a zombie as handsome as that comes to me, i’ll just let him bite me. idc idc~>

<this is the only kind of nepo husband i’ll accept.>

’Nepo husband.’

That was kind of funny.

Yun Dujun was glad that people immediately saw Bae Wonyoung’s talent, but he kind of felt annoyed reading the ’thirsty’ comments about his husband.

I know that Wonyoung is handsome and hot, but he’s off-limits, okay?

Fortunately, the comments in the other video were different.

Yun Dujun was talking about the audition video for Director Kang Dusik’s ’Four Alphas and a Secret.’

It was the first major TV drama role that Bae Wonyoung bagged.

It’s about a pair of twins who switched, so Wonyoung has to play two different characters during his audition.

Bae Wonyoung nailed his audition— playing two different characters distinctly.

I’m not being biased, but Wonyoung really did well playing a soft-spoken Alpha and a delinquent-like Omega. You can imagine two different people talking, even though there’s only one actor in front of you.

Of course, the other person who auditioned for the role had to do the same.

Kim Seojun auditioned playing two characters, but his execution sucked— especially if you compared it to Bae Wonyoung’s performance.

And the public could see that.

<is kim seojun reading a textbook? i know his acting is mid, but I didn’t expect him to be this bad. is it because bae wonyoung’s audition was awesome?>

<seojun oppa, let’s just stick to rom-com with no complex characters...>

<and he claims bae wonyoung stole the role from him??? HAHAHAHAHAHA>

<i was with seojun-ssi bcoz i hate nepo babies and nepo partners, but this is a mess...>

<director kang, you chose well!>

<does bae wonyoung have a twin brother in real life? weird. i thought i saw two people while he was reading the lines for two different characters! crazy. i got goosebumps! can’t believe a rookie actor is already this good at acting!>

Whew.

Yun Dujun was relieved that more and more people could see that Bae Wonyoung got the role because of his talent.

That he didn’t steal anything from Kim Seojun.

Moreover...

<guys, did you see the trending topic about kim seojun? the posts keep getting shut down, but everyone is saying the same thing. that kim seojun has a sponsor.>

<seeing how he got this far with his mediocre acting, I can believe that>

<he’s pretty but untalented, he could have only gone this far because of a sponsor~>

<but who?>

<some big shot from j*nsung group, allegedly>

<I heard it’s vice president lee h*eju!>

Yun Dujun smiled.

That was what he wanted to achieve by releasing those articles to prove that Bae Wonyoung got the role because of his talent.

And, yeah, he was happy to see Kim Seojun being slandered rightfully.

How dare you accuse Wonyoung of stealing the role that my husband bagged fair and square? You even accused him of having a sponsor, when you’re the sugar baby all this time.

If only Yun Dujun could drag Lee Heeju more.

It’s hard to do since Junsung Group is clearing Lee Heeju’s name whenever it pops up in the search engine. Even our family’s company can’t stop it.

Oh, well.

Yun Dujun still had one more hidden card.

But I can’t use it prematurely, or else it will backfire on us.

"Hyung..."

Yun Dujun immediately lifted his head and saw Bae Wonyoung opening his eyes. "How are you feeling Wonyoung-ah?"

"I feel awful, Hyung."

"The doctors said you were exhausted," Yun Dujun explained, holding Bae Wonyoung’s hand gently. "But did something happen before you fainted, Wonyoung-ah? You kinda spaced out."

He noticed that, but he got distracted when Bae Wonyoung suddenly had a nosebleed.

Then his husband fainted.

"The System appeared before me," Bae Wonyoung explained weakly. It was obvious that the Omega was still tired and sleepy. "But it only sent me a weird text. I think it’s glitching or something."

Ah, that sounded like bad news.

But before Yun Dujun could ask Bae Wonyoung more about the System’s last message, they were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Sir, it’s me."

"Come in, Han Myung."

The door opened, and Han Myung entered the room quietly.

"I’m sorry for interrupting your conversation, but I got an urgent report from Mr. Seo."

Oh.

I asked Mr. Seo to look for An Baekya’s uncle, so it must be related to that.

"What did Mr. Seo say?"

Han Myung gulped before giving his report: "Apparently, Mr. Seo already found Young Master Baekya’s uncle— but he got kidnapped by unknown men, right in front of Mr. Seo’s eyes."

Yun Dujun and Bae Wonyoung gasped at the same time.

Just what kind of misfortune is this?

***

LEE HEEJU turned off his phone, ignoring all the calls and messages from his family.

He would just get scolded for his ’scandal’ anyway.

Moreover, he had an important ’guest.’

"Sir, we’ve confirmed that this person is the one who sent the manuscript," Mr. Kwon, his aide and chief secretary, reported indifferently. "But we also found something interesting about this person."

Lee Heeju stared at the unconscious man on the floor. "Yeah, he kind of looks familiar. But I’m sure I haven’t seen this man before." He looked at his aide. "Who is he?"

"His name is Lim Bada," Mr. Kwon said. "He’s An Baekya’s maternal uncle."
