Garam was surprised by Song Sihyuk’s random request.
But since he trusted his husband, he sent pictures of him and Seulgi without question.
Having said that, he was still curious.
So...
And Song Sihyuk replied fast.
Oh?
A secret?
Ah, that was probably why Song Sihyuk sent a text instead of calling or videocalling him.
Hyung is being secretive.
But Garam wasn’t worried.
Hyung only keeps a secret from when he’s planning a surprise. There’s no way he’d ask for my and Seulgi’s pictures if he’s cheating.
Plus, he couldn’t imagine Song Sihyuk cheating on him.
"Dada..."
Garam looked down at Seulgi who seed to be done playing with her dolls, and then he smiled seeing how drowsy the toddler looked. "Yes, baby?"
"Seulgi is sleepy, Dada," Seulgi said while rubbing her eyes with the back of her hands. "Let’s sleep, Dada."

"IS THAT the baby you took in? She resembles Garam a lot."
"Right?" Song Sihyuk agreed with Seong Kyungmin’s observation. The doctor was looking at the pictures that Lim Garam sent him while peeking over his shoulder. "They look alike especially now that Garam is wearing hair extensions."
Seong Kyungmin just humd while looking at the pictures with furrowed brows.
Song Sihyuk ignored the doctor as he was busy admiring his wife’s pictures.
Right now, they were in a store called ’Matches.’
It was a luxury clothing brand for parents who liked matching their clothes with their children.
The quality and the design of the clothes matched his style.
But, as the chairman of SG Group, it pained Song Sihyuk to set foot in the luxury departnt store owned by Ilsung Group.
Kim Heedo is a friend, but he’s still a competitor.
But what could he do?
Matches only had one flagship store in Korea, and it was in Ilsung Group’s shopping mall.
Tsk.
Should I snatch this store from them?
"Sihyuk-ah, I think you should dig deeper into the baby’s family background."
Song Sihyuk turned to Seong Kyungmin, and noticed that his friend was very serious at the mont. "Why?"
"While people who have no blood relations could look alike, I have a feeling that Garam and Seulgi are sohow blood-related. Call it doctor’s instincts, but I strongly suggest getting Garam and Seulgi a DNA test. Well, more distant relationships can’t be proven using DNA testing, but it’s a good start."
"You really think Garam and Seulgi could be blood-related?"
"It’s plausible, isn’t it? After all, you don’t know anything about Garam’s parents."
Oh, right.
Both Garam’s parents grew up in an orphanage, and they didn’t look for their families when they were alive.
"But get Garam’s permission, okay? Don’t do it behind their backs."
Song Sihyuk was about to tell Seong Kyungmin that he had no intention of doing that, but he got distracted when he heard Kim Heedo’s cheerful voice.
"Dujun Hyung, you’re here?"
Kim Heedo, who was busy walking around the store and asking the sales associate to bring out everything, walked towards the entrance.
Yun Dujun, an A-list actor, entered the store like a walking statue.
Tsk.
No wonder Garam watches all that dude’s shows.
"Sorry, I’m a bit late," Yun Dujun said, apologizing as soon as he walked towards them. "I had to shoot an extra scene..."
"It’s alright, Hyung," Kim Heedo said. "We’re just glad you managed to co on such short notice."
But although that rendezvous was random and was decided on a whim, everything was still handled properly.
Kim Heedo called in advance so that the store would be closed for that afternoon.
Aside from the four of them, only the sales associates were allowed inside the store’s VIP Room.
Of course, all the staff mbers signed an NDA.
Most of all, there were bodyguards everywhere.
It couldn’t be helped since all of them were prominent people.
Song Sihyuk and Kim Heedo were chaebols, Seong Kyungmin was a renowned doctor known for his specialty in Alpha-Oga pheromones, and Yun Dujun was an A-list actor who was also famous globally after starring in a worldwide hit TV series.
"Thank you for inviting , but I’m not sure if I should be here," Yun Dujun said awkwardly. "My husband and I don’t have a daughter. You said this is a ’date’ for girl dads..."
It was Kim Heedo who nad their group chat ’Girl Dads.’
That brat really loves having a daughter.
"It’s okay, Hyung," Kim Heedo said cheerfully. "You ntioned that Wonyoung Hyung wants a daughter, didn’t you?"
"Ah, yes. We’re planning to have another baby, and hoping that it will be a daughter this ti."
"That’s why I called you here, Hyung. If you manifest hard enough, then you’ll have a daughter soon enough."
Song Sihyuk scoffed at Kim Heedo’s ridiculous advice.
’Manifesting?’ How naïve.
"How about you, Kyungmin Hyung?" Kim Heedo asked the doctor. "How old is the toddler you’re planning to adopt with Hanseo Hyung?"
"Oh, the baby hasn’t been born yet," Seong Kyungmin said, his face beaming. "We’re just waiting for the baby to be born before we adopt her. But the baby will be here in three months, so Hanseo and I are already preparing for her arrival."
Song Sihyuk looked at his friend and noticed how happy he was.
Gong Hanseo, Lim Garam’s friend and forr group mber, was Seong Kyungmin’s partner. The two had been dating for five or six years now.
Hanseo is a Beta, so he can’t get pregnant.

I WONDER if Garam would wear a dress for .
A matching red dress caught Song Sihyuk’s attention.
The label said the red dress and the smaller red dress were for a mother and a daughter who wanted wear matching clothes to go sowhere nice, like a fancy restaurant.
But he thought the dress would look good on Lim Garam.
My husband is pretty, after all.
"Are you getting those matching dresses for Garam and Seulgi?"
It was Seong Kyungmin, who stood next to him.
The doctor was just with Kim Heedo and Yun Dujun a mont ago.
"Are you done sweeping the store with all their baby stuff?"
"Yes, I’m very satisfied," Seong Kyungmin said while nodding. "I’m grateful to Heedo for introducing this store to us. I’ll bring Hanseo here later." The doctor then looked at Song Sihyuk. "Ah, maybe we should go on a double date soon. It’s been a while since Garam and Hanseo saw each other."
"I’m not sure I’d like that idea."
"Aigoo. Are you still jealous of Hanseo just because he’s close with Garam? Get over it, Sihyuk-ah. Nothing will happen because Hanseo and I are getting married soon."
Song Sihyuk’s eyes widened a bit. "You’re getting married?"
"Yes, finally," Seong Kyungmin said, smiling. "And you’re the first person I want to know about it outside our family. But don’t tell Garam yet. Hanseo wants to share the good news with Garam himself."
"What took you so long to marry Hanseo?"
"Yah. I would have married him the mont we started dating if it were up to ."
"So, what was the problem?"
"Well, I’m an Alpha and Hanseo is a Beta," Seong Kyungmin said while scratching his cheek. "It wasn’t easy to convince Hanseo that I wouldn’t leave him for an Oga. As you know, most Betas believe that an Alpha is only ant for an Oga and vice versa. That Alphas are slaves to their pheromones. He was afraid that there was an Oga out there that was supposedly ant to be with . Plus, he was also worried about the fact that he couldn’t give a child."
"That’s understandable. It’s rare for male Alphas to settle down with male Betas for that exact reason."
"I know, that’s why I never get tired of proving my love for Hanseo every single day. And, finally, my hard work has paid off."
"Yah. Did you decide to adopt a baby because you don’t want Gong Hanseo to feel bad for being unable to get pregnant with your child?"
"No, of course not," Seong Kyungmin denied strongly. "Adopting a baby is a serious matter. It took us a long ti before we decided that we wanted a child. That’s not a decision we made on a whim."
"Oh, it’s fine then."
"You look like you have sothing to say, though."
"I do, but you might punch if I ask."
"If I promise not to get violent, will you tell ?"
"Uh, okay," Song Sihyuk agreed. Seong Kyungmin wasn’t a violent person, so he was confident he’d keep his promise. "Kyungmin-ah, I don’t know how to sugarcoat things. So, I’ll just ask what I want to ask even if it sounds rude."
"Go ahead. You’ve always been rude anyway."
"Is it really okay with you to adopt a child who doesn’t share an ounce of blood with you?"
"It doesn’t bother . A baby that Hanseo and I will raise together is our child, and that’s all that matters to ," Seong Kyungmin answered in a gentle tone, his face softening while talking to the baby who hadn’t even been born yet. "It doesn’t matter to even if the baby doesn’t share an ounce of blood with us— we’ll love her all the sa."
Oh.
Seeing how happy his friend looked, a thought crossed Song Sihyuk’s mind.
Maybe it really doesn’t matter at all.
