GARAM thought Song Sihyuk had a strange vibe around him while listening to Dr. Seong Kyungmin.
The Alpha arrived a few moments ago with a serious look on his face.
But it wasn’t like Song Sihyuk was in a bad mood.
Thank goodness.
The Alpha just really had some serious vibes around him while listening to the doctor.
Oh, well.
Anyway, Dr. Seong Kyungmin was explaining the things that he had already explained to Garam earlier.
Song Sihyuk listened attentively, asking relevant questions from time to time.
Garam didn’t want to admit this, but...
I guess Suhyuk Hyung can be a good father to Gunwoo.
"So, we need a nasal spray to help Gunwoo reduce the sensitivity of his nose towards pheromones," Song Sihyuk said, summarizing Dr. Seong Kyungmin’s explanation. "But we need to find one that is safe for children as young as my son."
"Yes, exactly," Dr. Seong Kyungmin said while nodding. "It’s not really recommended for children ages 6 and below to use a nasal spray. But I do recall a nasal spray suitable for kids 1 year old and above being released in the market before. If I remember correctly, it’s marketed as all-natural, non-steroidal, and drug-free. I’ll try to find it later and see if it’s still available."
"Alright. Thanks," Song Sihyuk said, and then he turned to Garam. "Don’t worry, Garam-ah. Even if it’s no longer available in the market, we have the means to produce an even better product."
Garam nodded because he knew that Song Sihyuk wouldn’t give him an empty promise.
Plus, he has the means to do what he said he would.
"Thank you, Hyung."
"You don’t have to thank me for the things I do for our son."
Garam didn’t know how to respond to that properly, so he just nodded.
I’m grateful, but I don’t want to appear too grateful when Sihyuk Hyung is just doing the bare minimum as Gunwoo’s father.
"I recommend teaching Gunwoo about pheromones as early as now," Dr. Seong Kyungmin said, causing both Garam and Song Sihyuk to look at the doctor at the same time. "Children are taught about Alphas, Omegas, and pheromones in elementary school. But since Gunwoo has a sensitive nose, I suggest teaching him early to avoid conflicts. As I observed earlier, your son has no filter. Yes, it’s normal for some children to be that blunt and honest. But some people might get offended if he suddenly tells them they stink. Not everyone will be as understanding as the young master."
"’Young Master?’"
"Kim Heedo was here earlier," the doctor explained. "The young master was in a bad mood because I refused to increase his suppressant dosage, so he walked out angry. Gunwoo caught a whiff of the young master’s stinky pheromones and told him he smelled bad."
"I-I apologized to that young man," Garam said immediately, afraid that Song Sihyuk might judge him as an incompetent parent. "I also made Gunwoo apologize to Kim Heedo-ssi. Our son isn’t rude, he’s just blunt."
"You didn’t have to apologize since Gunwoo only said the truth, and you didn’t have to make our son apologize either," Song Sihyuk said. "It’s Kim Heedo’s fault for not controlling his stinky pheromones."
Aigooya.
"Still, it’s not nice if Gunwoo starts telling people that they smell bad, Hyung."
"Garam-ssi is right," Dr. Seong Kyungmin added. "Moreover, we can’t let other people find out that Gunwoo can smell pheromones despite not being awakened yet."
Song Sihyuk didn’t comment on that topic.
"I’ll teach Gunwoo about pheromones," Garam volunteered. He wouldn’t expect Song Sihyuk to teach their son how to be polite, after all. "Hyung, you can’t tell our son that he shouldn’t apologize for stating the truth, okay? There’s this thing called ’manners.’ I know you’re not familiar with it, but that’s something I want to instill in our son..."
Oops.
Garam trailed off when he realized that he was being rude to Song Sihyuk now.
It didn’t help that Dr. Seong Kyungmin, who was usually reserved, suddenly laughed softly.
Me and my big mouth.
"I’m sorry for insulting you, Sihyuk Hyung..."
"No, don’t be ’sorry.’ I know that I have a bad personality, and I’m aware that people talk shit behind my back all the time. But this is the first time someone dissed me straight to my face," Song Sihyuk said, smiling while leaning against the chair. "It’s fun hearing you insult me, Garam-ah. Go ahead and say more."
"Stop being a freaking pervert, bastard."
That wasn’t Garam.
"What do you mean Garam-ssi was the first person to insult you directly?" Dr. Seong Kyungmin continued with his complaints. "I do that to you all the time."
Song Sihyuk clicked his tongue before glaring at the doctor. "Can’t you let me flirt in peace, you meddling idiot?"
Garam felt a shiver down his spine when he heard that.
That was Sihyuk Hyung flirting with me?
But why...?

"DAD, I don’t wanna go home. I wanna stay with Grandpa. Can’t we sleep at Grandpa’s house? I wanna see Granddaddy’s fishies, too!"
Aigooya.
Garam was quite stunned because this was the first time Gunwoo threw a tantrum like this.
His son refused to get up from the floor while hugging Lee Wonjae’s leg.
"Baby, don’t you miss Uncle Geon and Uncle Junho?"
Garam didn’t mention Mija because Song Sihyuk was standing next to him.
Better not trigger his memories of the kid shaman.
"I miss them, but I still wanna play with my grandads," Gunwoo continued whining. "I wanna feed the fishies!"
"Gunwoo-ya, stop being stubborn," Garam said, scolding his son for the first time in a long while. "We’re going home now."
Gunwoo looked startled because Garam rarely scolded his son.
He thought Gunwoo would be obedient now.
But no.
In fact, Gunwoo cried loudly while making a mop out of his body on the floor.
This kid is really throwing a tantrum, huh?
Garam was about to pick up Gunwoo and scold him firmer this time, but Song Sihyuk gently grabbed him by the shoulder.
"Just stay at my parents’ house tonight, Garam-ah."
Tsk.
Song Sihyuk then picked up Gunwoo from the floor effortlessly.
With just one swift move, his son was already in the Alpha’s arms.
"Gunwoo-ya, crying and throwing a tantrum is not a nice way to convince your dad to let you stay with your grandfathers longer," Song Sihyuk said sternly. "Plus, an Alpha should always be cool and composed."
Bullshit.
Garam wanted to complain about Song Sihyuk’s statement, but he changed his mind when Gunwoo suddenly stopped crying.
Hmm?
"Alpha? What is an Alpha, Daddy?" Garam asked, his face beaming with curiosity. "Are you an Alpha?"
"Yes," Song Sihyuk answered confidently. "Your grandaddy and I are both Alphas. And you’re going to be an Alpha, too."
Tsk.
Garam didn’t like how Song Sihyuk was already claiming that Gunwoo was going to manifest as an Alpha.
I mean, I feel the same.
But what if we were wrong?
"How about Dad and Grandpa?"
"They are Omegas."

So, I guess it’s true that the food has been spiked.
So, someone is targeting either Sihyuk Hyung or Abeoji. Maybe both. After all, both men hold the power over SG Group.
Oh, no.
***
My lesson has backfired on me.

I won’t let this hyung meddle with how I raise my son.
