Married For Now-Chapter 162: FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT

"SOHEE-SSI, I didn’t know you were such a good actor."

Ahem.

Sohee blushed because of Dr. Seong Kyungmin’s teasing.

The doctor was free to joke about it since only the two of them were in the bedroom at the moment.

I didn’t really faint, so I witnessed how Heedo panicked earlier because of me.

After Sohee "fainted," Kim Heedo immediately carried him and brought him to the master’s bedroom while yelling for Dr. Seong Kyungmin’s help.

He was pretty rude about it, but I guess Dr. Seong understood that it was an emergency.

Anyway, Dr. Seong Kyungmin immediately noticed that Sohee was faking it.

Hence, the doctor asked everyone to leave the room as he "treated" him.

Kim Heedo actually didn’t want to leave the "fainted" Sohee, but after his parents convinced him that Sohee was safe in Dr. Seong Kyungmin’s hands, only then did he leave.

Reluctantly.

"Dr. Seong, I think Heedo cares about me even though he doesn’t remember me," Sohee said, his voice full of hope. "I know this may sound cheesy, but is this the case of "what the mind has forgotten, the heart remembers?""

He expected the doctor to laugh or smile, at least.

I mean, what I said was really corny.

But Dr. Seong Kyungmin nodded with a serious look on his face. "Fated pairs are different from ordinary couples. You have a special connection to Kim Heedo, so for me, it’s only natural that he feels drawn to you even with his memory loss."

Pfft.

"Dr. Seong, you make it sound like Heedo and I are the main characters in a romance drama."

"Well, fated pairs are rare— so, you have the right to feel that way."

Sohee couldn’t help but laugh softly while shaking his head.

It sounds like Dr. Seong can be the captain of our ship.

"Thank you, Dr. Seong," Heedo said, smiling because he really cheered up thanks to the doctor. "I appreciate your support. Once Heedo retrieves his memories, I’ll tell him how much you supported us."

"I’m glad that you’re being optimistic, Sohee-ssi," Dr. Seon Kyungmin said in a soft voice. "I know that it’s pretty frustrating that Kim Heedo lost his memories. But Song Sihyuk retrieved his, so don’t lose hope."

Right.

I need to call Garam Hyung-nim later and ask him again how Sihyuk-ssi retrieved his memories.

Sohee’s thoughts were interrupted when they heard a knock on the door.

Based on the pheromones that he and the doctor could both smell...

"It’s Kim Heedo," Dr. Seong Kyungmin said in a low voice. "I’ll take care of it, so pretend to be asleep."

Sohee nodded, and then he quickly lay down on the bed and pulled the thick blanket up to his neck. Then he quickly shut his eyes tight. But he remembered that he should be pretending to be asleep, so he tried to relax a bit.

I hope Heedo doesn’t notice that I’m faking it.

"Kyungmin Hyung, how’s Sohee Hyung?" Kim Heedo asked softly while closing the door. "And the baby."

Aww.

He’s worried about our little bean.

"Both Sohee-ssi and the baby are fine," Dr. Seong Kyungmin said. "Sohee-ssi fainted due to experiencing extreme stress."

Woah.

Dr. Seong lies smoothly.

"Heedo-ssi, can I talk to you as a hyung and not a doctor?"

"Of course, Hyung."

Dr. Seong Kyungmin immediately switched to informal speech. "Heedo-ya, I understand that everything is stressful to you since you lost your memories. But please don’t forget that this is also hard for Sohee-ssi. Even more so since he’s pregnant. As you already know, male Omegas are always at risk when they’re pregnant."

Aww.

Sohee was conflicted.

I appreciate that Dr. Seong is doing this for me, but I don’t want Heedo to blame himself for my stress when he’s in an even stressful situation than I do.

In fact, he wouldn’t be surprised if Kim Heedo got mad.

"I understand, Hyung."

Hmm?

Heedo didn’t get mad?

"What else can I do to ensure that Sohee Hyung won’t get too stressed?"

"It will be hard for you, Heedo-ya."

"Just tell me first, Hyung."

"As we already told you, your marriage with Sohee-ssi is genuine. You two are in love with each other. I believe you can feel it even if you don’t remember anything about him."

"..."

Woah!

Sohee felt like his heart skipped a beat when Kim Heedo didn’t deny it.

So, my husband really cares about me despite his memory loss...

That made him feel giddy.

"I understand that in your head, you’re still into Lee Junsu. But please remember that you’re already married, and he’s already in a committed relationship with Sanha-ssi," Dr. Seong Kyungmin said carefully. "I know it’s hard, but please maintain a proper distance between you and Lee Junsu. And try to spend time with Sohee-ssi even if it’s uncomfortable. Being with your husband might trigger your lost memories."

Now that was a sound advice.

Sohee prayed hard.

Please listen to Dr. Seong, Heedo-ya.

"Alright— I’ll do that, Hyung. But I’m only doing this for the sake of the innocent baby, okay?"

Pfft.

Sohee had to bite his lower lip to stop himself from grinning like a fool.

Heedo suddenly became a tsundere!

"WHAT DID you say?" Song Sihyuk asked Jung Han— his right-hand man— with knitted eyebrows. "Who has the guts to summon me?"

"It’s Jin Taejoon, sir."

Haaah.

That thug again?

Even after Song Sihyuk’s one and only heir was rescued after the kidnapping, he still didn’t stop investigating the whole incident.

Yes, the mastermind behind the kidnapping was already dead.

However, he wanted to know who else knew about him being a Hyper-Dominant Alpha to avoid the same thing from happening again.

That was why he asked Jung Han to investigate all of Jin Taejoon’s clients.

It was inevitable for his right-hand man to visit the gangster in prison.

Fortunately, Heedo and I agreed that my subordinates could visit Jin Taejoon if necessary.

"Why did that man want to meet me when I already sent you there?" Song Sihyuk scoffed, leaning against his chair while crossing his arms over his chest. "If he’s just trying to use me to get out of prison, tell him to forget it. It will be troublesome if I piss off Kim Heedo."

"I believe you should meet Jin Taejoon, sir," Jung Han said carefully. "That gangster is claiming that President Lee Hoon’s grandson wasn’t the real mastermind behind Young Master Gunwoo’s kidnapping— that it was someone else."

What...?
