Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23: MIRACLE PILLS

I FINALLY got rid of those pills.

Garam had been taking the miracle pills diligently ever since Song Sihyuk sent them to him four years ago.

Take one pill once a day.

That’s it.

That was what he had been doing for the last four years, and nothing had changed much about him.

I do regular check-ups, so I know that my body is healthy.

However, there was just one thing that frustrated him about his body.

I want to bulk up, but I can’t even gain noticeable muscle mass.

Of course, he consulted experts since he really wanted to have a bigger and stronger body. But all of them said the same thing: genetics.’

Apparently, Garam had a higher metabolism than average people.

And, still according to the experts, his body type made it more challenging for him to gain muscle mass.

But he didn’t want to lose hope.

Actually, he thought he would bulk up while he was in the military— but he remained the same no matter how hard he worked or how much he ate.

Hence, he sought an expert again.

This time, he got a different response.

Hormonal imbalance.

Apparently, he had low testosterone levels that affected his muscle growth.

That hormonal imbalance was probably caused by the miracle pills.

Maybe it’s finally working on my body after four years.

Or perhaps, the miracle pills had always been the reason for his failure to gain more muscle mass. He just didn’t think of it since he had a natural fast metabolism even before he started taking those pills.

Haaah.

Well, it’s on me since I accepted this deal five years ago.

He had already sold his body to Song Sihyuk.

However, he felt relieved when he sent all the bottles of miracle pills to his contract husband’s old address.

And, in his heart...

"I wish you were really cheating on me, Sihyuk Hyung," Garam whispered to himself. "It’s about time for us to end this nonsense marriage."

"SNITCH."

"Crybaby."

"When did I cry?"

"We share the same room. Do you think I don’t hear you cry yourself to sleep?"

"B-But don’t you wear noise-cancelling headphones or whatever they’re called?"

"You’re a loud crier, idiot."

"Yah."

Garam smiled while watching and listening to Finn and Lee Eunsang fight.

The two were in the dining hall while having breakfast (and bickering), so the maknaes hadn’t noticed him yet.

After all, he entered the dining hall quietly.

"Are you done fighting, kids?"

Finn and Lee Eunsang turned to Garam, and then gasped. "Hyung...!"

"No need to stand up," Garam said, joining the two maknaes at the table after making a cup of coffee for himself. "Eunsang-ah, I know that you’re a strong person. But that doesn’t mean you should keep all your problems to yourself, especially if they affect our group."

My dongsaengs are so cute.

***

This kid has gotten more muscular... I’m so jealous.
