Married For Now Chapter 209: WORKPLACE BULLYING

"HE’S so handso for a mover..."

What a backhanded complint.

Kim Heedo ignored the clients who were "whispering" behind him.

He was busy stacking the boxes that he needed to carry anyway.

Their clients for today were roommates— a female Beta and a male Oga.

I think they are around Sohee Hyung’s age.

"Should I shoot my shot?"

"Don’t embarrass yourself— that Alpha is already very much taken," the male Oga "whispered" to the female Beta. "You can’t sll it because you’re a Beta. But he’s showered in his lover’s pheromones. Actually, it’s making sick. I need to breathe so fresh air."

"Hey, wait for ."

Fortunately, the two clients left.

Heh.

Heedo liked what he heard.

No, not about the Beta who seed to be interested in him.

He didn’t care about that.

I just like how they can sll Sohee Hyung’s pheromones in .

"You look pleased."

Hmm?

Heedo lifted his head and saw his fellow movers— the ones he hadn’t seen before— sneering at him.

What’s their problem?

"Our clients must have boosted your ego, huh?"

"It must be nice being an Alpha— everything cos easy to you."

Aigoo.

This may have been Heedo’s first ti working.

But this wasn’t his first ti dealing with jealous Betas.

"Yes, it’s nice being an Alpha," Heedo said bluntly. "But you know what’s nicer? Having self-confidence." He carried three boxes in one go before throwing his fellow workers a cold glance. "You should work on it so you won’t feel inferior towards Alphas, good sirs."

"Yah!"

"How rude!"

"Kids these days are really scary..."

Heedo just bowed his head before turning his back on his colleagues.

Sohee Hyung, see? I didn’t snap. I’m being a good boy~

***

IT WAS a long day for Kim Heedo.

He would never admit this, but having morning sickness as soon as he opened his eyes was starting to take a toll on his body.

It didn’t help that he had a manual job.

Hence, he was always moving and carrying heavy boxes.

I’m not complaining, of course.

Heedo was simply having a deep appreciation for people in that field.

If an Alpha like is feeling this way, then the Betas and Ogas I work with definitely have it worse than .

That was why he didn’t even dare to take a break.

"Are you alright, Heedo-ssi?" Jang Yeonwoo, his sunbae and supervisor, asked while handing him a cold bottle of water. "Here."

Heedo accepted the bottled water politely. "Thank you, Sunbae-nim."

After moving things the entire day, they finally had the ti to take a rest.

When they returned to the company, Heedo went straight to the smoking area.

Well, he had already stopped smoking. But whenever he felt like doing so, he would look for a smoking area. Weirdly enough, it would stop his urges to smoke.

Yes, yes, I know— second-hand smoking is bad.

Heedo had no intention of dying early, so he’d find a new way to suppress his urge to smoke later.

"You did well today, Heedo-ssi," Jang Yeonwoo said, standing next to Heedo. But, as usual, his sunbae-nim left a decent distance between the two of them. "Today’s work was different from the last one, wasn’t it?"

"Yes, sir," Heedo said, nodding. "I didn’t know we had many movers until today."

"Oh, right. Only the two of us were dispatched on your first day since the job was fairly easy. But we usually have at least five mbers in a team, like today."

Yep, that was right.

There was other three movers today aside from Heedo and Jang Yeonwoo.

The three were a bit older than him, and were a bit unfriendly.

They practically ignored and Yeonwoo Sunbae-nim.

Not that he cared.

"Heedo-ssi, I rember you saying that this is your first job," Jang Yeonwoo said. "For your first job, you’re doing well. I don’t think I need to supervise you."

"Thank you, sunbae-nim. I still have a lot to learn, so please take care of ," Heedo said politely. It was true that he still had a lot to learn, after all. "That was my first ti seeing a moving ladder truck in person."

Their client for today was a family of three moving into a new place.

The apartnt was on the 11th floor of the high-rise building.

Hence, to move the big furniture and appliances like the refrigerator, bed, and cabinet.

The one in charge of the moving ladder truck was Jang Yeonwoo.

"You’re cool, Sunbae-nim."

"I’m cool?" Jang Yeonwoo asked, obviously surprised. "Anyone can do what I did, though. All I have to do is stand next to the furniture to make sure it’s in place as the ladder lifts us."

"Sunbae-nim, as an Alpha, I wouldn’t say that your job is sothing anyone can do," Heedo said carefully. "To be honest, it’s dangerous. That’s why I thought you were cool."

Jang Yeonwoo blinked, and then he chuckled. "Thank you for saying that, Heedo-ssi. I’m not used to hearing complints. But I’m happy."

"It wasn’t a complint, Sunbae-nim. I was just stating a fact."

"Aigoo. Your husband is lucky to have an Alpha like you."

Heedo bead because he liked talking about Park Sohee. "I’m actually the lucky one, Sunbae-nim. My husband is a very wonderful person."

"I can tell," Jang Yeonwoo said, laughing softly. "You only get that reaction when we’re talking about your husband. And I can also tell that he feels the sa way about you. After all, the pheromones lingering on you are quite strong."

Heedo smiled and nodded. "I like my husband’s scent."

"You two must be crazy about each other."

"I know, right?"

Jang Yeonwoo laughed again.

Heedo tilted his head to one side, wondering what was funny.

"Are you having fun?"

Hmm?

It was the son’s owner.

Is it Kwon Jaesuk?

"Jaesuk-ssi, we were just talking while taking a break," Jang Yeonwoo said in a tired voice. "Do you need us for anything?"

"Break is over," Kwon Jaesuk said, shooting Heedo a cold glance. "Go back to work."

Heedo rolled his eyes ntally.

Is that Alpha feeling insecure about ?

***

KIM HEEDO knew that Kwon Jaesuk and his other co-workers didn’t like him.

But he didn’t expect they’d stoop this low.

It’s not like we’re in high school?

Park Sohee prepared another cute and healthy lunchbox for Heedo.

For today, it seed like his husband made cute pandas for him.

’Seed’ because, to be honest, he couldn’t recognize the lunch box that his husband prepared for him.

After all, so bastards threw his lunchbox on the floor.

Is this what they call ’workplace bullying?’

Hah.

"You should have just punched in the face," Heedo said, smirking bitterly— his pheromones leaking out of his body as he clenched his hands tightly. He was trying to hold back, but his vision was starting to turn red. "You crossed the line by wasting the lunch box that my husband lovingly prepared for , you jealous bastards."

His fellow workers snickered, obviously provoking him.

"Oh, what is our great Alpha gonna do?"

"Watch out— Alphas are known to get violent when angry."

"Are you going to punch us, kid? Do it then."

Haaah.

I really want to go on a rampage and beat up these bastards, but I promised Hyung I won’t resort to violence if I can help it.

He took a deep breath, calming himself down by thinking of Park Sohee’s beautiful face.

Plus, he imagined what their babies would look like.

I hope they look as lovely as Sohee Hyung.

And, just like that, he was calm again.

Heedo pulled out his phone from the pocket of his jeans, and then he called Mr. Choi— the boss who hired him. "Sir, I’d like to report a case of workplace harassnt."

***

IT WAS a long and tiring day for Kim Heedo.

After he reported his fellow workers who harassed him, he had a long eting with Mr. Choi and his bullies.

So tiring.

Fortunately, his colleagues were caught on cara when they threw his lunchbox on the floor.

They didn’t expect that I’d report them, so they didn’t get rid of the evidence.

"Are you happy now?"

Heedo raised an eyebrow when Kwon Jaesuk, the owner’s son, confronted him after he got out of the eting room. "What do you an by that?"

Kwon Jaesuk glared at him. "The people you reported were fired."

"And rightfully so."

"They needed this job!"

"Then they shouldn’t have harassed ," Heedo said, scoffing. "You were the one who asked them to bully , right? How childish."

Kwon Jaesuk flinched, but he didn’t deny it.

"You’re the one who should be responsible for your people," Heedo said, walking past Kwon Jaesuk. "You were the reason those people were fired and not ."

"You’ll regret this, Kim Heedo!"

Whatever.

But maybe Heedo should have been extra careful that night...

***

SOHEE was starting to worry about why Kim Heedo was late.

Heedo should be ho by now.

"Oppa, Heedo is late, isn’t he?" Hong Sera asked, looking at Sohee with a worried look on her face. "How dare that brat make you worry?"

Sohee smiled, thankful that Hong Sera and Cho Euntak decided to stay longer.

"Hyung, why don’t you call Heedo Sunbae-nim?" Cho Euntak suggested. "Maybe he’s already on his way ho."

"Right, I should call him."

Sohee was just about to call his husband when his phone rang.

It was from an unknown number.

And when he picked up the call...

Sohee let out a gasp. "My husband is in the police station?!"
