"GARAM-AH, I’ll be gone for a moment. I’ll try to come back as soon as possible. But, in the meantime..." Song Sihyuk trailed off while removing his jacket. And then he put it on top of Garam’s body, right above the blanket. "Wear this. My pheromones won’t easily disappear since I’ve been wearing that suit all day."
Yeah, Garam could tell.
The pheromones that lingered on Song Sihyuk’s jacket were thick and overflowing.
It should last for a few days, at least.
"Where are you going, Hyung?" Garam asked curiously. "Can you already leave the hospital when you just had surgery?"
"I’m fine now. Since I’m an Alpha, my recovery rate is higher and faster than normal people," Song Sihyuk said. "Are you worried about me?"
"No."
"I thought so," Song Sihyuk said, not pushing his agenda like he would have surely done if it were the old Song Sihyuk. For some reason, in just a short span of time, the Alpha seemed to have changed already. "Anyway, I’ll try to come back as soon as I can. Call me if you need anything. Well, you can also call me even if you don’t need me."
"Why would I call when I don’t need you?"
"Right. Just call me if you need me, then," Song Sihyuk said, and then he looked at Seong Kyungmin. "Keep an eye on my wife, okay?"
"You don’t have to tell me what to do to take care of my patient," Seong Kyungmin said, rolling his eyes at Song Sihyuk. "Just make sure your doctor gives you an ’okay’ before you leave the hospital. You’re still a patient, Sihyuk-ah."
"Yes, I know," Song Sihyuk said, looking back at Garam again. "See you later, Garam-ah."
Garam just nodded.
I have no choice but to see Sihyuk Hyung again.
Anyway, when Song Sihyuk finally left...
"Dr. Seong, I heard your conversation with Sihyuk Hyung earlier," Garam said. He actually didn’t want to bring it up, but his curiosity got the better of him. "I was already awake when you said it would be better for me to remain an Omega."
Yes, he was actually awake then.
So, he also heard when Song Sihyuk said this: "I don’t want to do something that Lim Garam would hate. So, please go and find another solution, Seong Kyungmin— my wife has to go back to being a Beta, no matter what."
Garam felt bitter that it took him almost dying before Song Sihyuk finally learned how to respect his decisions.
But, at least, Hyung isn’t trying to be controlling anymore.
"Yes, I won’t lie," Seong Kyungmin said while nodding. "I believe staying as an Omega would be better for you. Based on my observation, you got weak because you stopped being intimate with Song Sihyuk. You’ve been fine for the last five years because your body got used to being separated from him."
"My Omega father-in-law would send me Hyung’s clothes and other stuff that was full of his pheromones."
"Yes, that too. Even so, it doesn’t change the fact that Song Sihyuk wasn’t next to you. Hence, your body had to get used to his pheromones alone," the doctor explained. "However, everything changed when you met Song Sihyuk again. Your body became hyperaware that the owner of the pheromones you loved was just next to you. Hence, it was wondering why you weren’t sleeping with Song Sihyuk yet."
Aigooya.
Dr. Seong is just as blunt as ever.
To be fair, Dr. Seong Kyungmin was the best in his field. Hence, Garam wasn’t his first patient. That was why the doctor was already used to being involved in his patients’ sex lives.
"Dr. Seong, do you believe that having sex with Sihyuk Hyung will cure me?"
"That’s my hypothesis, yes," Dr. Seong Kyungmin said while nodding. "But, of course, I won’t force you to change your mind. You’ve already made your decision to return to being a Beta. It’s for your own good, too."
"For my own good? How?"
"You want to escape from Song Sihyuk, don’t you?"
Oh.
"But you can’t do that as long as you are dependent on Song Sihyuk’s pheromones," Dr. Seong Kyungmin said carefully. "However, if you return to being a Beta, then you won’t need Song Sihyuk anymore."
Yeah, that was what Garam wanted the most— to be free from Song Sihyuk.
However...
Why do I feel uneasy?
***
"I THOUGHT I needed to do something more extreme to make you come to me, Sihyuk-ah."
Song Sihyuk rolled his eyes at Cho Dongpyo.
Yes, he left the hospital to meet his ex-lover.
But he wasn’t stupid enough to meet him alone.
Hence, he met the bastard at the café in the hotel owned by their company.
"Does sending people to my parents’ house to spike my food not being extreme enough for you?"
Cho Dongpyo smiled ’innocently.’ "I don’t know what you’re talking about, though."
"You can deny it all you want, but you’re the only one with enough audacity to do something like that."
This bastard should have rotted in jail five years ago. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Unfortunately, when Song Sihyuk lost his memories, he also lost interest in Cho Dongpyo’s case.
And, yet, the Cho Triplets manage to create a cure.

As a Hyper-Dominant Alpha, I believe that whoever I choose becomes my fated pair— and that what makes me different from other Alphas.

My wife isn’t that dependent on my pheromones before.
