Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha-Chapter 239: BREWING SOON

GARAM couldn’t believe that he spent five days with Song Sihyuk in a hotel for their sudden "honeymoon" while Song Gunwoo and Shin Jina were suffering.

When he woke up this afternoon, his husband told him about the unfortunate incident.

He immediately asked the Alpha to get ready to leave the hotel and go straight to the hospital where Shin Jina was confined.

Yes, the poor child was still stuck in the hospital.

They’ve already fixed her fractured arm, but Jina has to stay in the hospital because she just manifested as an Alpha. She still can’t control her pheromones, after all. Usually, kids who recently manifested get in so much pain. But I heard it’s not usually the case for strong Alphas.

"Gunwoo had a high fever when he manifested as an Alpha, and he was only five back then. Fortunately, our son didn’t suffer much since his fever immediately disappeared overnight," Garam reminisced while sitting in the passenger seat of the car that Song Sihyuk was driving. "I hope that’s also the case for Jina."

"Manifestation is more painful for Omegas than it is for Alphas," Song Sihyuk said, his eyes glued to the road. "So, don’t worry too much about Shin Jina. I can tell that the kid is a strong Alpha, so her recovery rate should be quick as well."

"But Jina has a competition in two weeks. No matter how quick her recovery rate as a newly awakened Alpha, I don’t think her fractured arm would heal before the competition."

"Missing a competition or two won’t hinder her career as an athlete, honey. I’m not saying this lightly. Remember, Appa was a professional golf player. There were times that he couldn’t compete because of an injury. And, yet, Appa still went on and became an Olympic gold medalist. Shin Jina is a talented kid— she’ll be fine."

Oh, that was right.

It was normal for athletes to miss a competition due to an injury.

Being reminded of that made Garam feel a bit better about Shin Jina’s injury.

Moreover...

"She’s still young," Garam said, nodding. "More opportunities will come her way. After all, Jina is a Taekwondo genius." He paused for a moment and then chuckled. "Hyung, our Gunwoo is really crafty."

Song Sihyuk’s eyes widened a bit as if he were shocked. "You know that, honey?"

"Of course, he is my son."

"I thought you were completely fooled by our son’s innocent act."

"Well, to be fair, I’ve only realized it recently— after Gunwoo and I talked about why he prefers the company of children younger than him," Garam said, smiling while reminiscing about the interesting conversation he had with his son back then. "Gunwoo wanted to change the conglomerate that you’re running, Hyung, even if it means losing our status as a chaebol family. He wants SG Group to be as ethical as possible, but he knows he can’t do it alone. That’s why he’s raising the future leaders of the country to have the same vision as him."

Song Sihyuk chuckled. "As expected of my son— he’s raising his own little army at only 12."

"Hyung, our son is working hard to get rid of our status as a chaebol family. Are you really fine with that?"

"I don’t think we’ll go bankrupt just because we lose our status as a chaebol family. Plus, by the time Gunwoo inherits the company, we’ll have already retired. We’ll leave everything to our son. Then we’ll enjoy the rest of our time going on dates and having lots of sex, honey."

Garam burst out laughing. "Hyung, there are at least twenty more years left before Gunwoo inherits the company. When that time comes, I’ll be in my late fifties, and you’ll be in your mid-sixties. Do you think we’ll still be having lots of sex by that time?"

"Of course. I’m confident that I’ll never have enough of you, honey."

Pfft.

That made Garam giggle as if he were a teenager in love. "Then I should get back to working out to improve my stamina. I’m getting old, so I should be more careful with my health, especially if I want to grow old and have lots of sex with Hyung during our retirement."

"I can help you with that, honey," Song Sihyuk said while gently squeezing Garam’s thigh. "Cardio exercise is good for you, so let’s do it every night."

What a horny Alpha.

WHEN Garam arrived in the hospital, it was unfortunate that Shin Jina was asleep.

But it was nice to see Shin Junho and Shin Geon there for their daughter.

"Garam-ah, Seulgi is at home with her grandparents," Shin Junho explained immediately. "We didn’t want to bring her to the hospital and see Jina hurt."

"Yes, Junho Hyung. My in-laws called and told me that they’re taking care of Seulgi," Garam said, and then he gently patted Shin Junho’s shoulder. "Don’t worry about my daughter and just focus on Jina for now." He then glanced at Shin Geon. "You, too, Geon Hyung. Stay with Jina in the meantime. You two can take a leave for as long as you need. Of course, it will be treated as paid leave for both of you."

Shin Junho and Shin Geon both thanked Garam for his generosity.

But I know that wasn’t what Junho Hyung and Geon Hyung wanted to hear.

"I know you’re angry, but please be patient. Sihyuk Hyung and Gunwoo will definitely catch the culprit who pushed Jina down the stairs," Garam said in a serious tone. "Once we catch them, we’ll let you make them pay for what they did to our precious Jina."

"DADA! DIDI! OPPA!"

Aww.

Garam smiled while watching Seulgi run towards them.

His daughter was being followed by Lee Wonjae (Garam’s Omega father-in-law) and Song Seokju (his Alpha father-in-law).

"Seulgi missed you!"

"We missed you, too, baby," Garam said as he picked up Seulgi, and then he kissed his daughter on the cheek. "Did you play with your grandfathers well?"

"Yes, Dada!"

How cute.

"You got plump, Seulgi-ya," Song Sihyuk teased their daughter before giving her a kiss on the cheek. "It looks like your grandfathers fed you well, huh?"

"Seulgi ate yummy foods!"

Song Sihyuk chuckled, obviously having cuteness aggression towards their baby girl.

"Oppa, play with Seulgi!"

"Later, Seulgi-ya," Song Gunwoo said, smiling apologetically at Seulgi. "Daddy and I need to work first."

Garam raised an eyebrow at Song Sihyuk and Song Gunwoo. "You do?"

"SO, have you caught the culprit?"

Song Sihyuk asked his son while leaning against the chair.

He brought Song Gunwoo to the study to listen to the child’s report.

I purposely didn’t ask Jung Han for a detailed report because I wanted to hear it straight from my son.

"Yes, Daddy," Song Gunwoo said, smiling. "We already know who the culprit is."

Song Sihyuk wasn’t surprised.

If Mija and Jeong Semin worked together, then there’s no way the culprit won’t get caught.

"What do you plan to do now, Gunwoo-ya?"

Song Gunwoo smiled and tilted his head to one side. "I’m going to use my advantage not as a chaebol, but as a nepo baby."

"Nepo baby... as in because you’re the son of a famous soloist?"

"Yes, Daddy."

"You’re going to show up in public?" Song Sihyuk raised an eyebrow. "Not that I’m going to stop you, but why? I thought you valued your privacy."

"Well, don’t politicians love positive public attention, Daddy?"

Politician?

Ah.

I think I already know who the culprit is.

"I’m thinking of riding Dad’s coattails a bit," Song Gunwoo said, smiling cheekily. "I’m going to be a Media Darling, Daddy."

"Good luck with that, son. Just in case you don’t know, the general public hates chaebols— especially me." Song Sihyuk pointed at himself. He wanted to be supportive of Song Gunwoo, but he needed to give his kid a reality check. "The public even calls me a chaebol-thug."

"That’s why I’m going to use Dad’s fame and not yours, Daddy," Song Gunwoo said, smiling. "Don’t worry, Daddy. I already got it all figure out."

"I still don’t see how you’ll make the culprit pay by being famous, but I’ll trust you, Gunwoo-ya," Song Sihyuk said, smiling proudly at his son. "But since you’re going to use your dad’s name, go and ask for his permission first."
