"ARE YOU feeling scared now, Sunbae-nim?"
Oh.
Admittedly, Garam felt a bit ’shookt’ after he heard from Oh Hyunju that Song Sihyuk was already back in Korea.
Apparently.
I should confirm it later.
"It’s not too late to take back your challenge earlier, Sunbae-nim," Oh Hyunju said arrogantly. "I’ll let it slide since I don’t have anything against you, Sunbae-nim. In fact, I’m your fan, so—"
"No, I’m not taking it back," Garam said, cutting off Oh Hyunju. The little bastard was pissing him off already. "I want to see how great your Song Sihyuk is for you to act this arrogantly. Let’s see if your Song Sihyuk is really who you make him out to be."
Because if your Song Sihyuk is the same as my Song Sihyuk, one of us would die.
And it wouldn’t be Garam.
"Sunbae-nim, you’re trusting your sponsor too much," Oh Hyunju said, scoffing. "I don’t want to fight you, but you’re starting to annoy me, Sunbae-nim. How dare you question the power of my sponsor, even after I told you that the heir of SG Group has my back?" The little bastard raised an eyebrow and snapped his fingers. "Maybe Sunbae-nim will understand if you get a taste of the power I’m talking about?"
Oho?
Two men dressed in black suits appeared behind Oh Hyunju,
They are dressed like proper bodyguards, but they look like thugs.
To be honest, the two "bodyguards" looked intimidating.
Hence, Garam could understand why the staff members near them were turning a blind eye and pretending to be busy.
Is this also how they ignore the people bullying our Eunsang?
That pissed him off even more.
"Sunbae-nim, I’ll accept it if you apologize now," Oh Hyunju said, smiling while pointing a finger at the ground. "But I want you on your knees."
Pfft.
Garam couldn’t help but let out a snort. "Hoobae-nim, are you filming a soap opera right now? Your words sounded like a line from a third-rate soap opera. You sounded cheap, you know?"
Oh Hyunju’s face turned red as if he were embarrassed, especially after the staff members secretly listening to the ’drama’ snorted as if they were holding back their laughter.
Heh.
How dare these people enjoy the ’drama’ after ignoring a serious bullying case on the set?
"Sunbae-nim, don’t say I didn’t warn you."
Garam just shrugged nonchalantly, and there was a reason why he wasn’t afraid, even though Oh Hyunju’s bodyguards looked like thugs who wanted him dead.
"Sir, please stay behind me."
The ’reason’ he was talking about was none other than Shin Geon— the personal manager-slash-bodyguard that Song Sihyuk assigned to him five years ago.
And Geon Hyung has never failed to protect me, not even once.
Shin Geon was tall, but he was on the lean side.
Hence, he looked smaller than the two thug-like bodyguards.
However...
"Argh!"
The two thug-like bodyguards fell on their knees while holding their throats as if they couldn’t breathe.
Oh, they must be Alphas then.
Garam was a Beta, so he didn’t notice it immediately.
Anyway, Shin Geon was a strong Alpha— his pheromones were also strong enough to bring weaker Alphas to their knees.
Just like what’s happening right now.
"Sir, how should I dispose of them?"
Heh.
Garam was delighted when Oh Hyunju flinched, obviously scared after his two thug-like bodyguards were crushed by Shin Geon’s pheromones alone.
Heh.
Where’s your sass now, kid?
"Garam Hyung?"
Hmm?
Garam turned around and found Lee Eunsang looking at him worriedly.
And Lee Eunsang was with Shin Junho, their team manager.
Oh.
Junho Hyung is Geon Hyung’s husband, and he’s an Omega. He probably noticed Geon Hyung’s pheromones.
No wonder both Lee Eunsang and Shin Junho looked overly concerned.
We should end it here.
"Geon Hyung, this is enough," Garam said, and then he shot Oh Hyunju a cold look. "See you later, Hoobae-nim."
***
"HYUNG, are you mad at me?"
Haaah.
To be honest, even if Garam was mad, he knew he couldn’t stay mad at Lee Eunsang while their maknae was giving him his best puppy-dog eyes.
This brat knows my weakness.
Anyway, Garam and Lee Eunsang were inside the big, fancy van that the company provided for them.
Shin Geon and Shin Junho were outside, giving them privacy.
We can’t go home yet because Lee Eunsang isn’t done filming yet— we actually only have half an hour to talk.
The two maknaes were born the same year, so they decided to drop the honorifics.
The rivalry between our two maknaes is really funny.

And that’s not being persistent in your book?
Oh.
