GARAM was on the bed, lying on his stomach while on his phone.
He was busy scrolling on his secret social media account while interacting with his fans.
As usual, he was talking to users ’garamofhappiness’ (his fansite master) and ’soheeheehee’ (his funniest fan) again.
They still don’t believe that I’m the real Lim Garam, though.
While he was checking the old photos of him that his fans posted because they were missing him, a trending topic caught his attention.
’#OHHYUNJUSPONSOR’
That was the trending topic.
Garam immediately clicked a link that led him to an infamous gossip portal among netizens.
He let out a gasp, not prepared for the pictures that greeted him on the site.
"What’s wrong, babe?" Song Sihyuk asked worriedly, putting a hand on the small of Garam’s back. "Did something happen?"
Garam turned to his boyfriend.
He was about to share the ’tea’ with him, but he was distracted momentarily by the Alpha’s bedroom look.
Omo.
Why does Hyung look so good when we’re just about to sleep?
Song Sihyuk was wearing a pair of silk pajamas this time instead of his usual T-shirt and sweatpants combo.
But that wasn’t the reason why Garam was stunned.
Those damned glasses.
Song Sihyuk was still working— answering work emails, to be precise— on his laptop. And every time he was doing that, he would put on his eyeglasses.
"Garam-ah, you’re testing my determination not to ejaculate until tomorrow."
"Huh?"
Song Sihyuk chuckled. "I can smell your pheromones. Usually, when Omegas release pheromones this strong, it means they are aroused—"
"I am not aroused," Garam denied a little too strongly. And since he was too embarrassed to face Song Sihyuk, he buried his face in the pillow and quickly changed the topic. "Anyway, I was just surprised with the news that I saw on the internet."
"Uh-huh."
"It’s about Oh Hyunju. The Omega who bullied Lee Eunsang."
"What about that person?"
Whew.
Fortunately, Song Sihyuk didn’t tease him and just welcomed the change of topic.
I guess Hyung is still walking on eggshells around me after our fight earlier.
"Someone posted pictures of Oh Hyunju with different men anonymously," Garam said, sharing the ’tea’ with his boyfriend. "According to OP, Oh Hyunju has been sleeping around with high-profile individuals for quite some time now. The OP also claims that most of the talents in their agency have done the same thing. Their company must be in a mess right now."
"Ah, I see."
Pfft.
It’s so easy to tell when Sihyuk Hyung isn’t interested.
"I see that Hyung doesn’t care," Garam said, and then he lifted his head. Song Sihyuk was looking at him as if he were more interesting than the ’tea’ he was sharing. "Hyung, I think Oh Hyunju’s career is totally over now."
He tried to feel sympathetic towards a fellow idol.
But he remembered how Oh Hyunju put Lee Eunsang’s life (and innocence) in danger. And, just like that, his empathy disappeared.
"Wasn’t that Omega kid’s career already over when we blacklisted him from working as an idol?"
"As an idol, yes. He could have still worked as a freelance model or an influencer, though. He doesn’t need to have an agency for that. But, with this huge controversy, I don’t think he’d still have the guts to show his face in public. Not this early, at least."
Song Sihyuk raised an eyebrow. "Interesting— it’s so interesting how easy it is to destroy an idol’s career. No matter how famous they are, it only takes one controversy to end it all."
That was totally true.
"It’s scary and not interesting, Hyung. That’s why I’m always extra careful," Garam said, and then he changed the topic because he didn’t like talking about how easy it was to ruin an idol’s career. After all, he was also an idol. Plus, other than that, he was also concerned with something else. "Hyung, I haven’t checked all the photos posted yet. But what if the fake Song Sihyuk was photographed with Oh Hyunju? Won’t that affect SG Group? That person still works for your company, right?"

"Don’t say another Alpha’s name either, especially not when we’re on our bed."
I’m tempted to abuse my husband’s power, but...
