Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47: LOVE BITES

GARAM was relieved to see that Lee Eunsang was doing well.

He originally wanted to visit the kids in the morning.

But because of his meeting with Myung Hyesu, the two of them arrived at the hospital around lunch. Fortunately, their CEO was generous enough to bring food for the kids from a good restaurant.

Unfortunately, Lee Eunsang could only consume thin liquids for now.

That caused Finn and Kwon Jigu to hesitate to eat in front of their maknae.

"Hyungs, you can eat," Lee Eunsang encouraged the two. "I’m fine, really. I don’t have the appetite yet anyway."

"Are you sure?" Kwon Jigu asked worriedly. "We can just eat outside."

"Please don’t. I want hyungs to stay with me."

Hearing that broke Garam’s heart.

Actually, it wasn’t just him.

It was obvious that Finn and Kwon Jigu’s hearts also broke. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Myung Hyesu, too.

Our CEO is kind, but she has a wall around her. She always treats us professionally, keeping us at arm’s length. That’s totally fine. But, right now, I can tell that CEO Myung cares about us on a personal level.

After all, everyone could tell that Lee Eunsang was afraid to be alone.

The kid must have been traumatized a lot.

"We’ll stay," Finn said firmly. "Don’t worry, Eunsang-ah. I’ll stick to you like glue from now on."

Lee Eunsang smiled and nodded, obviously assured by Finn’s words.

It was nice to see.

Finn and Eunsang, as the two youngest in the group, often bicker. But at times like this, they stick together.

"Eunsang-ah, do you want to sue Oh Hyunju?" Myung Hyesu asked in a serious tone. "If you want to sue him, our company will support you 100%."

Garam gasped softly when he remembered something that he shouldn’t have forgotten.

Oh Hyunju!

I told Sihyuk Hyung that I wanted to talk to that bastard, but I forgot!

After all, he found out that Song Sihyuk was sick when he returned to the club. Because of that, they had to get home right away.

Now I feel horrible.

"I don’t want to sue, ma’am."

Finn and Kwon Jigu gasped in disbelief at Lee Eunsang’s decision.

"Eunsang-ah, that sunbae bastard kidnapped and drugged you," Finn said, obviously frustrated. "If Garam Hyung and our managers didn’t rescue you in that club, who knows what could have happened to you?"

"But this is a sensitive time for us," Lee Eunsang argued. "People have just started to forget about Hanseo Hyung’s bullying scandal. If the public finds out about my conflict with Oh Hyunju-ssi, then they might think our group has a personality problem."

To be honest, Lee Eunsang was right.

This is a bitter pill to swallow, but people don’t care about the truth— they only care about the drama that ’gives’ them the ’right’ to tear celebrities apart.

"But this isn’t a simple conflict," Kwon Jigu said sternly. "Oh Hyunju committed crimes."

Right?

"I know that, Jigu Hyung. But if our group activities become affected because of Oh Hyunju-ssi, then I’d feel worse," Lee Eunsang said. "Plus, Garam Hyung is going to launch his first solo album. I don’t want to ruin that."

This time, Finn and Kwon Jigu didn’t argue anymore.

After all, those two really cared about Garam’s career, too.

Aigoo.

These kids care too much about me.

"Eunsang-ah, thank you for caring about me," Garam said. "I agree with your decision— we’ll lose more than what Oh Hyunju would lose if we start a court battle with him."

Lee Eunsang smiled, obviously relieved that he took his side.

Finn and Kwon Jigu didn’t say anything, but it was obvious that the two were disappointed that Garam didn’t even try to convince Lee Eunsang to sue.

Don’t get disappointed yet, punks.

"In return, I promise I’ll punish Oh Hyunju thoroughly," Garam promised his younger members. "Please trust me."

***

GARAM only sent one text to Song Sihyuk earlier.

He didn’t call because he didn’t want to accidentally disturb the Alpha in case he was in an important meeting.

’Hyung, what time are you coming home?’

And, just like that, he got a call from his contract husband.

"I’m picking you up."

Garam was supposed to have dinner with his members, but he had to take a rain check because Song Sihyuk said he was five minutes away from the hospital.

I know Finn and Jigu have questions, but that can wait.

Hence, he left the hospital room with Shin Geon.

Shin Junho, their manager, would stay with the kids since Myung Hyesu had already left.

Our CEO is busy, after all.

"Sir, the young master is here."

Garam just waited for Song Sihyuk in front of the hospital while wearing a hat and a face mask.

Shin Geon accompanied him as his bodyguard, of course.

Fortunately, nobody seemed to have recognized him.

It helped that only a few people were at the entrance, and most of them were elderly people who probably didn’t know much about idols.

"Geon Hyung, stay here with the kids," Garam said while patting Shin Geon’s shoulder. "It seems like Eunsang was traumatized by what happened. It will help put him at ease if you’re with them. He trusts you more than the other bodyguards, after all."

He also talked to Shin Junho earlier and asked their manager to convince Lee Eunsang to see a therapist.

They had time for that anyway.

CEO Myung cancelled our individual activities for ’health reasons.’

"I understand, sir."

"Thank you, Geon Hyung."

Shin Geon just bowed politely.

Then a fancy, foreign car stopped in front of them.

Shin Geon bowed, opened the door for Garam, then greeted Song Sihyuk (in the backseat) and Jung Han (in the driver’s seat) politely.

Garam then entered the car and sat beside his contract husband while greeting Jung Han.

Jung Han greeted him back before driving again.

"Lim Garam, hand."

Garam was confused by Song Sihyuk’s random request, but he mindlessly reached out to the Alpha when he extended his hand to him.

Much to his surprise, Song Sihyuk kissed his palm.

"Not that I mind, but what was that kiss for, Hyung?"

"Disinfection," Song Sihyuk said casually, kissing Garam’s palm again before letting go of his hand. "I saw you pat Shin Geon’s arm earlier."

Aigoo.

He saw that?

"Hyung, you’re not jealous of my bodyguard, are you? Shin Geon is married, and he’s very loyal to Junho Hyung."

"I’m not jealous of Shin Geon. I chose him as your bodyguard because I know how obsessed he is with Shin Junho. If you saw how Shin Geon beat up the buzzcut dude who hit Shin Junho, you’d think I was an angel compared to him."

Ah, nice.

So, Geon Hyung has avenged Junho Hyung successfully.

"You forgot— I didn’t," Song Sihyuk said calmly, now busy browsing through his emails on the computer tablet that he was holding. "I let Oh Hyunju come home, but I sent my people to keep an eye on him. Rest assured, that bastard is locked up in his fancy apartment."

Specs really look good on Hyung.

Hyung doesn’t look like a thug anymore.

Sihyuk Hyung has always smelled good from the moment I met him. But it seems like Hyung smells extra nice these days.

Maybe it’s also soundproof?
