Chapter 150: AMNESIAC NO MORE?

Chapter 150: AMNESIAC NO MORE?

PHEROMONES are still a mystery, no matter how modern science has become today. Experts still can’t figure out exactly why an Alpha’s pheromones can do wonders to an Omega’s body, especially if an Alpha and an Omega match really well.

Unfortunately, that was the case for Garam.

My body craves Sihyuk Hyung’s pheromones.

"I think it won’t be a problem since I’m co-parenting with Sihyuk Hyung," Garam said, sighing. And then he changed the topic. "Mija-ya, what did you talk about with my grandfather-in-law? Did he ask why you left the family to come with me?"

"Yes, Oppa," Mija answered while nodding. "I told Grandfather Chairman that I had to leave because I needed to protect Gunwoo. He understood my decision because he knew I did it for the family’s sake."

"Did he wonder why he had forgotten about us?"

"I told him the truth— that they needed to forget us or else, you would have lost Gunwoo from too much stress caused by Sihyuk Ahjussi. Grandfather Chairman knew that his grandson had a horrible personality, so he didn’t question that part."

Whew.

Now there was only one thing that Garam wanted to know.

"D-Does my grandfather-in-law remember that I signed a contract saying I’m giving up my right to be Gunwoo’s mother?"

"He remembers, but don’t worry about that, Oppa. Uncle Wonjae stole and burned that contract years ago."

"Oh."

Appa didn’t tell me that, though?

"And I told Grandfather Chairman that if he forced you to honor that contract, the SG Group would soon meet its demise."

Aigooya.

"Thank you, Mija-ya."

"You’re welcome, Oppa. You can relax for now. Sihyuk Ahjussi won’t let Grandfather Chairman force you to change Gunwoo’s name."

Garam let out a sigh of relief.

And when his body relaxed, he suddenly felt dizzy.

That feeling was all too familiar.

"Mija, please..."

Garam couldn’t speak properly, so he just silently handed Gunwoo to Mija...

... and then it happened.

Ah, my fainting spell is back.

***

"WHAT DO you think you’re doing, Song Sihyuk?! Will you really let your son use the name that Lim Garam gave him?! You are the child’s father! And you are

To be fair, Song Sihyuk wasn’t really opposed to what his grandfather was saying.

As an Alpha and the head of the family, it should be his privilege to name his son.

But he had a feeling that Lim Garam would hate him if he agreed with his grandfather.

And nothing scares me more than earning my wife’s wrath.

Oh, Song Sihyuk did it again.

Why do I keep calling Lim Garam my wife?

"Song Sihyuk, are you listening?"

"No, Grandfather. I’m not listening," Song Sihyuk said bluntly. "Grandfather, didn’t you notice that you suddenly became energetic again? I thought you were about to croak the last time I saw you with my parents."

Naturally, his grandfather cursed him for being rude.

However, when the former chairman calmed down...

"You’re right, grandson," his grandfather said, blinking slowly as if the realization had just hit him. "I started feeling better after hearing the report that you found my great-grandson. And my great-grandson brought back Mija by my side."

"Grandfather, it’s not just your health that improved suddenly," Song Sihyuk said, glad that his grandfather had taken the bait. "Both Abeoji and I had just recently closed deals worth billions of won. Plus, the prosecutor who threatened to request an audit to see if we’re evading tax again was removed from his position. It wasn’t us; someone else got rid of our problem."

By now, his grandfather’s face had beamed.

"Can’t you see, Grandfather? Even though my son’s name doesn’t start with the same letter as our names, he still brings good fortune to the family and the company," Song Sihyuk said confidently. Hence, he sounded convincing even to his own ears. And it wasn’t like he was lying anyway. "Grandfather, my son is the child from the prophecy. His name doesn’t matter— his existence alone will secure our fortune for a long, long time."

Just a little more push...

"But if you make my son upset by forcing his mother to do things against his will, what do you think will happen to us, Grandfather? Bad karma will hit us for making my son angry."

Fear crossed his grandfather’s eyes.

Grandfather is very superstitious, so he won’t ignore my warning.

Song Sihyuk was confident that it was already a done deal, but he got interrupted when he got a call from Jung Han.

His right-hand man wouldn’t call for nothing.

Hence, he excused himself before picking up the call.

"I’m talking to Grandfather, so make it quick and short, Jung Han."

"Vice Chairman Song, Lim Garam-nim fainted."

Song Sihyuk immediately got up from his seat. "Where’s my wife?"

***

GARAM’S fainting spells in the past only lasted for a few seconds.

Three minutes was the longest time that he had lost consciousness.

But it seemed like he broke his personal record today.

After all, he woke up in a hospital.

"Gunwoo..."

"I sent our son and Mija to Appa— the kids are at my parents’ house now."

Oh.

Garam wasn’t surprised that the person who greeted him was Song Sihyuk.

The Alpha was sitting in the chair next to the bed with a serious look on his face.

"Mija suggested calling Shin Geon and Shin Junho over to help her distract Gunwoo while we’re gone, and I allowed it."

Garam nodded weakly. "Thank you, Hyung."

Gunwoo listens to Geon Hyung and Junho Hyung well.

"The doctors said your pheromone level is low."

Oh.

So, that’s why Mija told me to stick to Sihyuk Hyung.

"Garam-ah, move in with me."

"Hyung—"

"You need my pheromones to increase yours," Song Sihyuk said firmly, cutting him off. "I’m not asking you to marry me again, Garam-ah— I’m just asking you to live with me until you get better."

"We can just meet regularly, Hyung."

"Lim Garam, do you know how messed up your body is right now?"

To be honest, Garam didn’t know.

I haven’t taken a proper general check-up for the last five years since I didn’t want to leave the island.

"Do you want to die early and leave Gunwoo in this world alone?"

"Are you cursing me to die young, Hyung?"

"I’m just stating a fact," Song Sihyuk said in a frustrated manner. "The doctors looked shocked after checking your condition. They even almost called the cops on me because they thought I was neglecting your health."

Ah, my condition is that bad?

Garam didn’t want to die young and leave Gunwoo alone.

I’m not sure if Sihyuk Hyung would continue being a good father to my son once I’m gone, so...

He decided to compromise.

"If we really must live together, then can we just live with your parents, Hyung?" Garam asked firmly. "I’d be more comfortable if Appa is there with me."

Song Sihyuk blinked at first, and then he chuckled. "Garam-ah, most spouses dread living with their in-laws. But you’re the opposite."

"Well, Appa is good to me and Gunwoo."

"Alright. I’m sure my parents will agree, so let’s do that."

Garam nodded, but that mere action caused his head to spin.

And the Alpha immediately noticed his discomfort.

"Go and sleep some more," Song Sihyuk said gently while covering his eyes with his hand. "Good night, Garam-ah."

***

SONG SIHYUK only left the hospital when his Omega father went to visit Garam with Gunwoo and Mija.

Appa brought dinner and asked me to go home and rest.

He actually didn’t want to leave Lim Garam, but his wife urged him to take a rest.

Garam-ah also said he didn’t want me to get sick because of him.

Song Sihyuk wanted to be a good husband, so he followed Lim Garam.

He went home, took a shower, and went to bed after setting his alarm clock.

Song Sihyuk had just started falling asleep deeply when, all of a sudden, vivid yet unfamiliar images began flooding his mind.

Those memories featured a younger Lim Garam.

His wife was wearing a high school uniform, too.

"Hyung is really a bad adult."

Hmm?

Song Sihyuk immediately opened his eyes.

Oh.

Those vivid images were his memories.

"Lim Garam," Song Sihyuk muttered to himself. "Lim Garam is my wife."
