TO SAY that Garam was overwhelmed by Song Sihyuk’s revelations would be an understatement.
Sihyuk Hyung has already retrieved his old memories?
Moreover...
I’m going back to my original state as a Beta?
First things first.
"When did you retrieve your memories, Hyung?"
"Right after my accident," Song Sihyuk said calmly. "I saw the viral post where you and your old group member were hugging each other."
Garam frowned after hearing that.
Of course, Hyung would see that picture. The post has been taken down before it spreads even more, though. I wonder if it’s because of Hyung.
"When I saw that picture, I almost went insane from jealousy."
"Hyung, you know that Hanseo Hyung and I aren’t like that."
"I know, but it’s not like the truth has stopped me from being jealous before."
Aigooya.
It was true, then.
Sihyuk Hyung has already retrieved his old memories.
So, that meant...
"Are you not mad at me, Hyung?" Garam asked indifferently. "You should know by now that I ran away from you. And I purposely hid Gunwoo from you, too."
"I don’t have the right to get mad at you, Garam-ah."
Hmm?
Garam was confused as to how Song Sihyuk could stay calm at the moment.
To be honest, he expected the Alpha to throw a tantrum.
After all, not only did he run away from him— but he also hid their son from Song Sihyuk.
But Hyung is saying that he has no right to be mad at me?
"When I chose you to participate in my little experiment, I didn’t think much of it. Especially since you didn’t care about being turned into an Omega at the time."
"It’s not that I didn’t care, Hyung— I was just desperate back then."
Song Sihyuk nodded as if to acknowledge Garam’s decision at the time. "All I cared about was getting you pregnant back then. It’s not that I was desperate for an heir— I actually just wanted you to stay married to me. I figured it wouldn’t be easy for you to leave me if we have a baby."
Haaah.
Garam could only smirk bitterly.
To be honest, the Alpha’s confession didn’t surprise him anymore.
I’ve always known Hyung was capable of such things.
"I thought I wouldn’t regret my decision because we had Gunwoo," Song Sihyuk said, smiling bitterly. "But I regret it now, Garam-ah. Had I know being turned into an Omega would mess up your body, then I wouldn’t have done that to you in the first place— even if it meant never meeting Gunwoo in this lifetime."
"It’s too late for that, Hyung," Garam said, smiling bitterly. "Even if we could turn back time, I would still choose to turn into an Omega and meet our son. I love Gunwoo more than I love you, after all."
Loving Song Sihyuk was something that Garam had never denied.
However, just because he loved the Alpha didn’t mean he would always choose him.
Especially not when our son exists.
"I know that, Garam-ah. But it’s not too late to correct my mistakes," Song Sihyuk said, still calm and gentle. "Uncle Jungho said you have to choose between going back to your original state as a Beta, or continuing to stay as an Omega. I’ll tell him that you’ll go back to being a Beta."
"Are you making a decision in my stead again, Hyung?"
"You know that this is for the best, Garam-ah. You’ll stay sick if you continue being an Omega. But if you go back to being a Beta, then you’ll stop being sick."
"I want to talk to Dr. Seong first, Hyung. He’s the one who should be explaining these things to me and not you."
After all, Garam couldn’t trust everything that Song Sihyuk was saying.
"Alright. I’ll call Uncle Jungho," Song Sihyuk said. "But let me stay here— I want to be with you every step of the way."
Haaah.
"Hyung, you’re hurt yourself," Garam said, frowning while looking at the bandage around Song Sihyuk’s head. "You should be resting, too. I don’t want Gunwoo to see you in that state and worry about you."
"Don’t worry— I won’t let our son see me in this state," Song Sihyuk assured Garam. "Let me call Uncle Jungho now."
***
"HAVE you decided whether to go back to being a Beta or remain an Omega, Garam-ssi?"
Ah, this doctor goes straight to the point, huh?
"Yes, Dr. Seong," Garam answered politely. "I’d like to return to being a Beta if it means not being sick anymore."
He had no reason to stay an Omega, after all.
I already have Gunwoo— and my son is enough.
"If you want to return to being a Beta, then you should stop being dependent on Song Sihyuk’s pheromones," Dr. Seong Jungho said, and then he turned to Song Sihyuk. "Sihyuk-ah, can you tone down your pheromones?"
Will I start feeling sick once Sihyuk Hyung’s pheromones disappear?
My head hurts like hell...

Hyung...?
