AIGOO.
What should we do?
Garam was conflicted.
He thought it was cute that Mija was still trying to finish the cupcake and the hot chocolate that he had made for her.
But he also felt bad because the child was actually half-asleep and half-eating.
"I guess it’s already past your bedtime, Mija-ya," Garam said while carefully wiping the smudge off the corner of the child’s mouth with a tissue. "Don’t force yourself to finish the pastries. You can finish them tomorrow.’
"You mean the kid can bring the pastries home, babe," Song Sihyuk corrected Garam correctly. "The kid isn’t staying the night."
"What?" Garam complained, and then he glared at Song Sihyuk, who was plopped down on the sofa as if he owned the place... ah, right. The Alpha owned not only the penthouse but the entire luxury apartment complex. "It’s already so late. We’re not sending Mija back to your parents’ house at this hour."
"Yes, we are," Song Sihyuk said bluntly. "That kid’s nanny is already waiting outside."
"Hyung, you’re so mean. Can’t you see Mija is already tired? It won’t hurt to let her sleep here tonight."
"No."
"Hyung..."
"Oppa, it’s okay. I need to go home anyway," Mija said in a sleepy voice. "I can’t sleep without my talisman anyway. It’s attached to the room and bed that I use, so I can’t simply stay the night without preparing in advance."
Oh.
Garam thought Mija’s situation was complicated.
Moreover...
I noticed it just now, but this kid talks like an old woman...
"Oh, I see," Garam said, getting over how mature Mija was easily. It seemed like the child had gone through a lot, so he wasn’t surprised by how she was behaving. He was also like that when he lost his mother. "Then I’ll pack the leftover pastries for you, Mija-ya."
Mija smiled and nodded. "Thank you, Garam Oppa."

"YOU’RE not sleeping in our room tonight, Hyung," Garam said sternly while shoving a pillow to Song Sihyuk’s chest. He blocked the Alpha before he could enter the bedroom with him. "Go sleep on the couch or use the guest room. I don’t care."
Song Sihyuk blinked, confused. "What did I do wrong?"
"I didn’t like how you treated Mija earlier. How could you ask the kid to go home like that, huh?"
"Because I know that she can’t sleep here without her talisman."
Tsk.
It made sense, but...
"You were still harsh," Garam said, frowning. "I’m upset, so I don’t want to sleep with you."
"Will it make you feel better if I apologize?"
"You should apologize to Mija."
"I guess it won’t hurt if we sleep in separate rooms tonight since you’re sick anyways," Song Sihyuk said, flashing his business smile at Garam. "Good night, babe."
What the...?
So, Sihyuk only offered to apologize earlier to appease him? But he doesn’t want to apologize to Mija?
"Hyung, why are you like that?"
"I’ve done nothing wrong, Garam-ah. So, why do I need to apologize to a child who works for my family?"
Haaah.
Hyung and his pride.
"Good night, Hyung."
Annoyed, Garam slammed the door in Song Sihyuk’s face even though he knew it was rude to do so.
Hmph!
***
GARAM couldn’t sleep.
He kicked Song Sihyuk out of the bedroom instead of using the guest room that he had used before because he wanted to bask in the Alpha’s scent.
However, it wasn’t enough.
I want Hyung.
Garam felt sick suddenly.
We shouldn’t sleep without solving a problem anyway.
Pheromones are useful, huh? With this, we can find each other easily if we get separated in a crowded place.
I hope I don’t get a reason to hide from Hyung.
Why is he sleeping in the living room instead of the guest room?
Hyung is really big.
Is he trying to act pitiful?
