Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha-Chapter 237: SONG GUNWOO’S DILEMMA
"I GUESS Dad and Daddy are enjoying their third honeymoon."
Oops.
Song Gunwoo only realized that he had said his thoughts out loud when his grandparents almost choked on their muffins.
Oh, right.
He was having breakfast with his grandparents at the moment.
Yes, Grandpa and Grandad are still here. They just informed me that Dad and Daddy extended their three-day vacation to a week.
Hence, Song Gunwoo accidentally said his thoughts about it out loud.
Fortunately, Seulgi wasn’t there as his baby sister was still asleep.
Not that Seulgi would have understood what I meant by that.
Speaking of his sibling...
"I wonder if Seulgi and I will have a new sibling soon."
His Alpha grandfather cleared his throat. "I don’t think so, Gunwoo-ya. You know how much your daddy is afraid of getting your dad pregnant again. After all, your dad’s constitution has been weak since he gave birth once."
"Of course, that’s not your fault, sweetie," his Omega grandfather added quickly. "Can we not talk about this, please?"
"Our Gunwoo is no longer a baby, honey," his Alpha grandfather argued. "He’s more mature than his peers, too. So, it should be fine..."
His Alpha grandfather shut his mouth when his Omega grandfather glared at the former.
Aigoo.
Grandad can’t win against Grandpa, just like how Daddy can’t win against Dad.
Song Gnwoo felt bad for his Alpha grandfather, so he quickly changed the topic. "Grandpa, Grandad, can I skip my after-school classes later? I promised Jina that I’ll join her Taekwondo class today."
He was enrolled in different sports classes, but he wasn’t really interested in martial arts.
Jina still insists that I need to learn self-defense.
"That’s fine, sweetie," his Omega grandfather said. "Have fun with Jina."
"Don’t worry about your after-school classes," his Alpha grandfather added. "I’ll call your tutors later."
Song Gunwoo smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Grandpa, Grandad."

"OPPA, you’ll keep your promise, right? You’re going to join my Taekwondo class today. No takebacks!"
Song Gunwoo smiled while Shin Jina was shaking his shoulders, while they were in the backseat of the car. "Yes, Jina-ya. I’ll be there. Grandad already called my tutors and canceled all my after-school classes for today."
Shin Jina’s face lit up. "I’m looking forward to it, Oppa!"
Song Gunwoo just chuckled.
"Jina-ya, stop yelling at the young master," Shin Geon, the one driving the car, scolded Shin Jina. "And don’t shake him like that. You’re being rude."
"Yes, Appa," Shin Jina said dejectedly before pulling her hands away from Song Gunwoo’s shoulders. "Sorry, Oppa."
Shin Geon then glanced at Song Gunwoo in the rearview mirror. "I apologize for my daughter’s behavior, Young Master."
"It’s alright, Uncle Geon," Song Gunwoo said while gently patting Shin Jinya’s head. "Jinya is my younger sister, too. This much is fine. Don’t worry about it."
"Thank you, Young Master."
Song Gunwoo just smiled.
"Ah, Appa! You can drop me off there," Shin Jina said while pointing at the nearby park. It was within walking distance of their school. "My classmates will bother me if they find out that I went to school with Gunwoo Oppa. They’ll ask why we’re together this early."
Ah, Shin Jina was already being careful, huh?
It wasn’t a secret that Shin Jina’s parents were working for Song Gunwoo’s family. Hence, their closeness wasn’t a mystery.
Most students envy Jina because of that.
So, if people at school find out that Shin Jina was currently living with Song Gunwoo, then their schoolmates might bother Shin Jina again.
Ah, yes.
Since Uncle Junho is currently staying with us to take care of Seulgi while Dad and Daddy are on their honeymoon, I told Uncle Junho and Uncle Geon to bring Jina so they wouldn’t have to worry about her.
So, right now, Shin Jina and her parents were living in the annex building.
"Are you sure, Jina?" Song Gunwoo asked worriedly. "What if you get lost?"
"Oppa, you can see the school from there," Shin Jina assured him while laughing. "I’ll be fine."
"Don’t follow strangers, Jina-ya," Shin Geon said sternly. "Go straight to school."
"Yes, Appa~"

"GUNWOO-YA, can you tell us what your little sister likes?"
"We want to prepare a gift for her, and we want to give her something that she’ll actually like."
"Yeah. I don’t think toddlers would appreciate what our parents are preparing."
Song Gunwoo smile at his classmates’ enthusiasm.
Most of the girls in his class were genuinely nice to him, so he could tell that they also genuinely wanted to give Seulgi a gift that she could enjoy.
Their parents are probably preparing extravagant gifts that a toddler won’t care about.
"My baby sister currently enjoys playing golf. She also likes picture books and cute dolls," Song Gunwoo said, still smiling. "Oh, she loves playing house, too. She particularly enjoys dressing up. My baby sister is bigger than most kids her age, so we buy her clothes that could fit a three or four-year-old kid."
Seulgi was malnourished when his parents took her home.
But the toddler was naturally big-boned.
It became more evident when his baby sister gained her weight back.
I had to tell my classmates that specific detail about Seulgi, so they could gift her clothes that would fit her.
"Thank you for telling us, Gunwoo-ya."
"Oh! Just one more question. My family is in the jewelry business, so I really want to ask you this, Gunwoo-ya. Is your baby sister a silver or a gold girlie?"
"My baby sister wears gold jewelry pieces."
"Alright. Thanks!"
Song Gunwoo chuckled.
It seemed like his classmates were satisfied with the answers that he gave.
"We can’t wait to meet the SG Group’s Princess!"
Song Gunwoo only smiled again.
"How can an adopted child be the SG Group’s Princess?"
Okay, that made Song Gunwoo lose his joy.
But he kept his "polite smile" as he turned to Nam Juwon.
He’s my Aunt Sullyoon’s husband’s nephew.
And Song Sullyoon was Song Gunwoo’s Alpha father’s youngest female paternal cousin.
Anyway, Aunt Sullyoon and her husband have a seven-year-old daughter.
Nam Sori— that was the name of Song Sullyoon’s daughter with her husband.
And Sori is Juwon’s cousin, so I understand why Juwon is upset that Seulgi is being labelled as the SG Group’s Princess instead of Sori.
Song Gunwoo could have just ignored Nam Juwon’s bitter remark.
But I’m done acting nice.
"If it’s not my baby sister, then who else is supposed to be SG Group’s princess?"
Song Gunwoo’s cold question shocked Nam Juwon.
Even their other classmates flinched and looked visibly confused, as if they were wondering if they heard him right.
This is my first time acting cold, after all.
And he wasn’t done yet.
"The fact that my baby sister is adopted doesn’t change the fact that she carries the last name ’Song,’" Song Gunwoo said, smiling "sweetly" at Nam Juwon. "Unlike a certain someone who doesn’t even have the same last name as me and my baby sister do."
Nam Juno’s face turned red from embarrassment when he realized what Song Gunwoo meant by that.
Song Gunwoo felt a bit guilty, but he ignored it.
This wouldn’t have happened if he hadn’t insulted Seulgi.
Fortunately, Nam Juwon finally shut his mouth and walked out of the classroom instead of escalating the fight.
Song Gunwoo didn’t want to waste his time arguing with a "small fry," after all.
Not when the real enemy was...
"Isn’t Nam Juwon your aunt’s nephew?"
Song Gunwoo lifted his head and found Kang Taehyun looking at him.
He’s the grandson of the current President.
Yes, as in the President of South Korea.
Kang Taehyun tilted his head to one side. "You were a little harsh towards Juwon, Gunwoo-ya."
Song Gunwoo chuckled. "Then tell me, Taehyun-ah. Wasn’t Nam Juwon being harsh towards my baby sister with his careless remark?"
"Juwon only stated a fact— your baby sister is adopted."
"And so did I when I pointed out that being adopted doesn’t change the fact that my baby sister is a Song," Song Gunwoo said, smiling. "Adopted children in our country possess the same legal rights, status, and inheritance privileges as biological children. Plus..." He pointed at himself. "Me and my parents adore my baby sister— and that’s the only "requirement" she needs to be SG Group’s Princess."
And that was enough to shut Kang Taehyun up.

"WHAT’S with the awkward atmosphere in the class earlier? Did you do something, Song Gunwoo?"
"You missed all the fun because you were sleeping the entire time the drama was happening," Song Gunwoo said, teasing Jeong Semin as they were headed to the cafeteria for lunch. "You should have seen my dark side."
Jeong Semin scoffed while waving his hand. "I already see the dark energy in you, though."
Song Gunwoo just chuckled.
"Anyway, Kang Taehyun really hates you for some reason," Jeong Semin said, yawning while stretching his hands. "I wonder if it’s because Chairman Song keeps treating the country’s President like his personal lap dog."
Song Gunwoo just laughed awkwardly.
Well, chaebols do treat politicians like their personal gofers sometimes...
"Gunwoo Oppa!"
Hmm?
Song Gunwoo turned around and was surprised to see Kim Ana— Shin Jina’s classmate and best friend.
That meant the kid shouldn’t be in that building.
Only Grade 6 students should be here.
So, seeing the kid there made him nervous.
"Ana-ya, what are you doing—"
"Gunwoo Oppa, come with me," Kim Ana said, grabbing Song Gunwoo’s arm. "Someone pushed Jina down the stairs!"
Song Gunwoo’s eyes widened in shock. "What?!"
