Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159: JEALOUSY OVERLOAD

GARAM felt stuffy staying in the hospital room all day, so he decided to go to the hospital’s rooftop garden with Gong Hanseo.

It should be fine since only a few elderly people were there.

And they’re not paying attention to us.

"The kids said they’ll be late," Gong Hanseo said after checking his phone. "They decided to come together after shopping for additional presents for you and Gunwoo."

Aigooya.

"They didn’t have to."

"You know the kids won’t show up empty-handed."

"Hyung, you raised them well," Garam said. "Thank you for the red ginseng again."

Yes, Gong Hanseo brought red ginseng for him.

The expensive kind.

"You have to drink every single one of them, okay?" Gong Hanseo said, sighing. "Garam-ah, I know it’s scary knowing that you are sick. But please don’t lose hope. You can’t give up, especially now that you have a son."

Garam nodded solemnly. "Of course, Hyung. Actually, after I calmed down, I started feeling better. So, I think I should work on my mental health, too. If I let fear cripple my system, then I have a feeling that my physical condition will turn worse."

"Yes, it’s good to have a healthy mindset as well. So, if you need someone to talk to, come to me. The kids will also welcome you with open arms."

"But you’re all busy."

"We will always make time for you, Garam-ah."

Aww.

"Thank you, Hyung."

"I know it’s scary, so don’t be afraid to lean on us."

"You’re making me want to cry, Hyung."

"Then go ahead and cry."

As if on cue, Garam’s tears immediately rolled down his cheeks.

It was just that he felt safe with Gong Hanseo, his best friend for many years now.

Plus, Hanseo Hyung has always been a dependable hyung to me.

"Aigoo. What a crybaby," Gong Hanseo said teasingly. Of course, his hyung was only doing that to make him feel better. "I can’t believe a kid like you has a kid already."

Pfft.

Garam couldn’t help but laugh while crying, so he looked like a lunatic right now.

"Come here, crybaby," Gong Hanseo said, opening his arms. "Let this hyung console you."

Garam didn’t turn it down— he got up and let himself fall into Gong Hanseo’s waiting arms.

The older guy immediately wrapped his arms around him.

It’s nice to have a friend and a hyung like Hanseo Hyung.

Of course, Garam also felt safe with Song Sihyuk when Song Sihyuk was being a typical, controlling Alpha.

However, he still had to walk on eggshells around Song Sihyuk.

But, with his hyung and friend, he didn’t have to worry about that.

"Everything will be alright, Garam-ah..."

Gong Hanseo suddenly trailed off.

Garam lifted his head, both curious and worried. "What’s wrong, Hyung?"

"I think that young lady recognized us and snapped a picture of us," Gong Hanseo whispered. "I didn’t realize that there’s a crowd here now."

Ah.

Garam quickly wiped his tears with his hands. "Let’s head back to my room."

"HYUNGS, you’ve gone viral!"

Aigooya.

When Garam and Gong Hanseo returned to his room, their dongsaengs arrived a little later.

Kwon Jigu, Finn, and Lee Eunsang came to deliver that news.

"Is it bad?" Garam asked worriedly. "What are people saying about our picture?"

"Most of the comments are positive, Garam Hyung!" Lee Eunsang said excitedly. "Actually, our old fans are very happy to see you and Hanseo Hyung together. They are hoping for a reunion on stage!"

Oh.

That made Garam feel excited.

After all, deep inside my heart, I still want to perform— especially with my group members.

"Many people also expressed their concern about you and your health, Garam Hyung," Kwon Jigu said, his eyes glued to the phone. The kid must be reading the comments in the viral post. "You’re wearing a hospital pajama, after all. They’re wondering if you’re sick."

Ah.

Actually, Garam took a glance at the viral post earlier.

Some people are wondering if I left the group because I was sick.

"Garam Hyung, don’t go to the comment section," Finn said while typing on his phone furiously. "The haters have come and are now leaving nasty comments. Don’t worry, Hyungs— I’m already cursing them using my burner account."

Pfft.

These kids haven’t changed at all.

"Kids, let’s stop talking about that post," Gong Hanseo said in a slightly scolding tone. "Garam and I didn’t do anything wrong, so it should be fine. The photo is harmless, but haters will surely find fault in it. Just let them be."

Garam nodded in agreement.

Plus, since it’s a viral post including me, I’m sure Sihyuk Hyung’s team will take it down before it becomes bigger than it already is.

Haaah.

I’m still depending on Sihyuk Hyung.

The way they make me feel loved is also making me feel better.

As expected, Hanseo Hyung is quick-witted.

Because it implies that I’ve given up.

Oh, it’s Appa.

"Garam-ah, Sihyuk got into an accident."
