"JUST TWENTY million won a month? You’re hurting my pride, Lim Garam. Jung Han’s monthly salary is bigger than the amount of allowance you’re asking for."
Haaah.
"What can you even buy with twenty million won?"
Tsk.
These rich people are really out of touch...
"I was originally just going to ask you for 10 million won—" Garam complained, but his complaint ended abruptly when Song Sihyuk glared at him. "See? You’re mad."
"Why wouldn’t I be mad?" Song Sihyuk complained. "You know who I am, and yet you refused my black card and asked for a 10-million won allowance instead?"
Yep, that was what happened.
Song Sihyuk was leaving for New York tomorrow, so they were already going over the things that they needed to arrange before he left.
That included Garam’s monthly allowance.
And that was why the two of them were at the penthouse.
Actually, Garam had been staying in that penthouse ever since he found out that his stepmother and stepbrother had sold his parents’ house.
I haven’t moved back to my house since I’ve been busy.
Anyway...
Right now, Garam and Song Sihyuk were at the dining hall— enjoying a boat of delicious sushi and sashimi while discussing some serious stuff.
The Alpha wanted him to take his black card— the legendary card with no spending limit.
But I refused to accept it.
"I doubled it because you got upset," Garam said defensively, stuffing his face with delicious (and expensive) bluefin tuna sushi. "I’m now asking for a 20-million won monthly allowance."
"How can I give my wife a monthly allowance lower than Jung Han’s salary?"
"Hyung, actually, ordinary bodyguards don’t earn that much."
But Garam could understand why Song Sihyuk was paying Jung Han that much.
After all, Han-ssi isn’t just Sihyuk Hyung’s bodyguard— he’s also Sihyuk Hyung’s secretary.
Song Sihyuk slammed his chopsticks on the table as if he had suddenly lost his appetite. "Let’s at least make it 500 million won."
"No."
"300."
"Still no."
"200 and it can’t get any lower—"
"50 million won and that’s final," Garam said sternly. "If you send more than that, I won’t use it."
Song Sihyuk looked at Garam in disbelief. "Lim Garam, I thought I already told you to exploit me as much as possible? I won’t get bankrupt easily, so why are you being stubborn?"
"It’s not you, Hyung— it’s me."
"Why are you suddenly using a break-up line?"
"Hyung, I already have everything I need to live a comfortable life."
"So what? Needs and wants are two different things."
"I just don’t want to be lazy, okay?" Garam said defensively. "I feel like I’m going to lose my passion if my bank account gets fatter even if I don’t work hard."
"What kind of mindset is that?"
"Hyung, just let it be, okay?"
Song Sihyuk let out a frustrated sigh. "You’re bad for my ego, kid."
Garam just said, still stuffing his face with sushi.
Damn, they melt in my mouth.
"Have you properly read the contract?" Song Sihyuk said, pushing the sushi boat closer to Garam as if encouraging him to eat more. "Are you satisfied with the alimony you’ll get after our divorce?"
***
OH, Hyung meant it literally.
