Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha Chapter 175: BELATED CONFRONTATION

LUCKILY, Dr. Seong Kyungmin had Cho Dongpyo’s contact number.

Garam was expecting that, to be honest.

They’re in the sa circle, after all.

Anyway, now that he finally had Cho Dongpyo’s contact number, he didn’t waste ti and imdiately called him.

Fortunately, the other Oga imdiately picked up the call.

"Hello, Cho Dongpyo-ssi. This is Lim Garam."

"I know— I was expecting your call after Kyungmin told that you wanted my number."

Ah, yes.

Dr. Seong Kyungmin asked Cho Dongpyo for his permission first.

It’s the right to do, anyway. I wouldn’t like it either if soone gave my number to another person without telling .

"You and I need to talk," Garam said sternly. "In person."

"You’re right, Garam-ssi. It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other. You’re not going to hurt yourself and fra for it again, are you?"

Ah, right.

Garam rembered doing sothing like that in the past.

In my defense, I just stooped down to their level.

"Well, I can’t assure that I won’t do sothing unhinge again, Dongpyo-ssi."

Actually, Garam was acting crazy on purpose.

After all, he didn’t want Cho Dongpyo to think that he was a pushover.

When you’re dealing with a crazy person, you have to act crazier than them.

"If you don’t feel safe eting , then should we et in a crowded place?"

Cho Dongpyo laughed bitterly before speaking again.

"Yeah, we should do that. Who knows what Song Sihyuk will do if you do sothing crazy again?"

Garam scoffed. "Don’t worry— we’ll keep this a secret from Sihyuk Hyung."

***

"GRANDAD, let’s feed the fishies!"

"Sure, let’s do that, Gunwoo-ya."

Aigooya.

Garam smiled while watching Gunwoo drag Song Seokju— Song Sihyuk’s Alpha father— to the koi pond.

It was the weekend, so Gunwoo didn’t have classes.

Hence, he brought his son to his forr in-laws’ house.

"Garam-ah, my son already inford about the party that Gunwoo wanted to throw for his classmates," Lee Wonjae— Song Sihyuk’s Oga father— said excitedly while they were having tea in the garden, just across from the koi pond where Gunwoo and Song Seokju were. "Ever since Song Sihyuk brought that up, your Abeoji and I have been planning the party."

Aww.

They look excited, huh?

It was nice, however...

"Appa, I’m sorry," Garam said. He knew that his forr in-laws didn’t mind, but an apology was still in order. "I didn’t know that Gunwoo would brag about your house to his classmates."

"Dear, you don’t have to apologize for that," Lee Wonjae said while shaking his head. "You and Gunwoo are always welco here. Your Abeoji and I would love it if you still consider our house your ho."

Again, Garam was touched.

I really lucked out with my Oga father-in-law.

"It’s hard raising a chaebol son, isn’t it?"

"Appa, it’s really hard," Garam complained. Finally, soone he could relate to. After all, Lee Wonjae had lived normally as well before becoming a successful athlete and marrying a chaebol. "I know that Sihyuk Hyung was a chaebol when I married him. But I didn’t expect him to have a very different mindset to normal folks like us."

"I understand, dear. My husband is still like that. They’re out of touch with reality because of how filthy rich they are," Lee Wonjae paused for a mont. "As you can see, I failed to raise Song Sihyuk properly."

Garam couldn’t deny that, so he just kept his mouth shut.

I’m sorry, Appa.

"To be honest, I gave up a little too easily on raising Song Sihyuk," Lee Wonjae said, smiling bitterly as if he were ashad of himself. "My father-in-law was very strict when it ca to my son’s upbringing, especially when Song Sihyuk was young. As you already know, my father-in-law treated Song Sihyuk as the family’s treasure."

Right.

Because the previous shaman said Song Sihyuk’s heir would bring prosper to their family.

"My father-in-law practically didn’t let influence my son in any way— he raised Song Sihyuk as a Song. And my husband just let it happen. Not because he couldn’t stand up to his father, but because he wanted Song Sihyuk to be raised like that," Lee Wonjae said, still smiling sadly. "I didn’t have a support system while I was trying to raise Song Sihyuk differently. But I don’t want the sa thing to happen to you, Garam-ah. That’s why if you need help, tell . I won’t let my husband and my son get in the way of how you want to raise Gunwoo."

That almost made Garam cry.

Not only because of his Oga father-in-law’s support, but also because he felt bad for him.

Now I know why Appa likes so much— he sees his younger self in .

"It must have been tough marrying into a chaebol family, especially when you weren’t in love with Abeoji back then," Garam said carefully. "You did your best, Appa."

"You’re making want to cry, dear."

"I feel the sa way, Appa."

Garam and Lee Wonjae looked at each other, and then they both laughed.

I’m not alone— I’m going to raise Gunwoo as a decent person.

He would make sure that his son wouldn’t beco a bad Alpha like his father.

"By the way, dear, are you sure about eting Cho Dongpyo alone?"

"Oh, I won’t be alone, Appa. I’m bringing Geon Hyung with ," Garam said. He wasn’t that stupid to et a dangerous person without a bodyguard. "Can you look after Gunwoo while I’m gone?"

"Of course, dear. We love having our grandson here," Lee Wonjae said, still looking worried. "But please be careful, okay?"

***

I’M REALLY eting Cho Dongpyo, huh?

Garam was actually nervous now that he had arrived at the café where he had agreed to et with Cho Dongpyo.

Yeah, they both agreed to et at a regular café in the middle of a busy neighborhood.

To be precise, it was a trendy café that was famous among young people.

I’m risking being recognized by idol fans, but being recognized by other people will actually help . Cho Dongpyo is also a known figure— he won’t try to hurt if there are witnesses around.

"Sir, I’ll sit at the table behind you," Shin Geon said, speaking to Garam politely this ti because he was there as his bodyguard. "I’ll make sure Cho Dongpyo-nim won’t be able to hurt you."

Garam smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Hyung."

After that, he sat at the table for two beside the glass wall.

I arrived first...

Garam decided to order first.

He got himself and Shin Geon an iced coffee before returning to his seat.

And, no, I didn’t get Cho Dongpyo anything.

"It’s been a while, Garam-ssi."

Oh.

Garam lifted his head and was greeted by Cho Dongpyo’s blinding beauty.

Dammit.

Cho Dongpyo was really the stereotypical Oga— beautiful, fragile-looking.

And he looks youthful. He’s the sa age as Sihyuk Hyung, but he looks the sa age as .

That was pretty annoying.

"I didn’t get you anything," Garam said coldly. "We don’t have the kind of relationship where we can trust the food or drinks that we give each other, do we?"

"You’re right— I wouldn’t accept any food and drink from you," Cho Dongpyo said. "Wait a minute. I’ll just get myself a drink."

Garam just nodded.

It took a while since there was a long line.

I did well choosing this busy place.

Anyway, Cho Dongpyo got himself a matcha, and then he sat across from Garam.

Garam noticed that people around them were stealing glances.

Ah, they recognized us.

Fortunately, their table was in the corner of the café.

Hence, no one was near enough to hear their conversation.

"So, Sihyuk doesn’t know that we’re eting?"

"I’m sure you already know, but Sihyuk Hyung and I have already been divorced for a long ti now."

"Yes, I know. And that’s why I’m curious as to why you suddenly wanted to see ."

"Stop asking for Sihyuk Hyung’s pheromones," Garam said sternly. He didn’t want to waste any more ti with Cho Dongpyo, so he went straight to the point. "I wanted to see you for this reason."

"How is that any of your business, Garam-ssi?" Cho Dongpyo asked, raising an eyebrow at him. "You and Sihyuk are already separated. What he does with his pheromones is none of your business."

"It is my business because I know Sihyuk Hyung made a deal with you for my sake."

That was the only reason why Garam was doing this.

I feel bad that Sihyuk Hyung is sacrificing himself for . Plus, I don’t want him to die early because of this. Gunwoo will be heartbroken if he loses his daddy.

"Dongpyo-ssi, I know that Sihyuk Hyung agreed to pay for the dicine I’m taking with his pheromones," Garam said, and then he clenched his hands tight. Actually, he just made a big decision that he hadn’t told anyone yet. "I’ll stop taking the dicine you made and return the rest to you, so stop asking Sihyuk Hyung for his pheromones."

"But you’ll stay as an Oga if you stop taking them. And if you stay as an Oga, you’ll get sick again."

"That’s none of your business."

"I have a proposition for you, Garam-ssi."

Garam just raised an eyebrow.

Should I humor him?

"I won’t ask for Sihyuk’s pheromones again," Cho Dongpyo said, and then he leaned forward with a sly look on his face. "In exchange, you have to give your pheromones. You’re the one taking the dicine anyway, so it’s only right that you pay for it."

Oh.

That actually made sense.

However...

Garam clenched his hands tight.

Why does this jerk need my pheromones?
