Secretly Married to a Chaebol Alpha novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86: BLESSING

AFTER meeting three of Song Sihyuk’s cousins at the entrance of the mansion, Garam was now headed to the private study that, apparently, only Chairman Song Sanggyun could enter.

The others had to be invited first.

Sihyuk Hyung and I were invited there.

God, this was so nerve-wracking.

"Garam-ah, don’t be too nervous," Song Sihyuk said, holding Garam’s hand and squeezing it lightly. "If Grandfather bullies you, we’re leaving."

"Hyung, you’re so pessimistic," Garam complained lightly. "Why do you always think of the worst-case scenario?"

"It saves you the heartbreak."

"Aigooya."

"Aigooya. You’re copying my catchphrase again. Cute."

"How did it become your catchphrase? Almost all Koreans say that, you know?"

"I never heard you say that before, you know? It’s obvious that it just rubbed off on you."

Tsk.

Garam couldn’t deny that.

It’s also true that Sihyuk Hyung says ’aigooya’ a lot, and that I picked it up because of that.

"Cat got your tongue, babe?"

"Hyung, you’re so annoying. I can’t imagine how much your cousins must have suffered in childhood because of you."

"Yah. Don’t worry about my cousins. It’s pissing me off."

"Everything pisses you off, Hyung. And you hate everyone."

"Everyone but you, that is."

Pfft.

"Hyung, I can’t decide if that was romantic or cringe."

Song Sihyuk just chuckled. "Have you calmed down?"

Ah.

So, Hyung was being annoying on purpose. I mean, Hyung is naturally annoying sometimes. But, this time, he provoked me to help me get rid of my nerves.

And it worked.

"Thank you, Hyung," Garam said, smiling. He had calmed down after his energy depleted because of stressing out over Song Sihyuk’s provocation. "Hyung, Hyung. I noticed it earlier, but your house is like an art museum."

Song Sihyuk nodded in acknowledgement. "The two largest Korean architectural firms that built most of the museums in the country designed this house."

Oh, no wonder it had that vibe.

The Song Family’s house was big.

It was a mansion with several annex buildings. In fact, it looked like an apartment complex. And it also felt like a maze.

See?

Sihyuk Hyung and I have been talking a lot, and yet we haven’t reached the destination yet.

This house alone screamed wealth.

"Hyung, don’t leave me here," Garam said bluntly while tugging at the Alpha’s hand. "I’ll probably get lost if you do."

Song Sihyuk suddenly burst out laughing.

Aigooya.

My joke isn’t even that funny.

***

"LIM GARAM, isn’t it?"

Garam straightened up in his seat when the Chairman Song Sanggyun called his full name.

I can’t believe I’m seeing Chairman Song in person...

"Yes, sir," Garam answered politely. "My name is Lim Garam."

Introductions had been made already when Garam and Song Sihyuk arrived at the study earlier.

The study actually looks more of a private lounge room.

There was a fancy circular table with fancy chairs for six.

Drinks and different varieties of pastries were served on the table.

But Garam didn’t dare touch anything because the three prominent people staring intently at him were giving him anxiety.

It wasn’t just Chairman Song Sanggyun.

Vice Chairman Song Seokju and the former Olympic golfer Lee Wonjae were also there.

Sihyuk Hyung’s parents...

No wonder Song Sihyuk was so ridiculously handsome— he got both of his fathers’ beauty genes.

His husband’s parents were the classic example of an Alpha and Omega couple.

Hyung got his build from the Vice Chairman while he got his good-looks from Lee Wonjae-ssi. I mean, the Vice Chairman is also handsome, and Sihyuk Hyung definitely got his intimidating aura from his Alpha father. But Sihyuk Hyung looks more like his Omega father.

"I like your face, Lim Garam— it’s bright, just like what Mija said."

Hmm?

Garam didn’t really understand, but the chairman looked upbeat.

So, it must be a compliment.

"Thank you, sir."

"Mija only says two things about people she meets," Chairman Song Sanggyun said, and the old man was talking about the little shaman of their family. "If she says a person has a gloomy face, then it means that person will only bring misfortune to the family. But when she says someone has a bright face, then it means we must keep that person close to our family for good luck."

Aigooya.

Chairman Song really trusts the little shaman, huh?

"How do you plan to bring good luck to our family, Lim Garam?"

Oh.

Chairman Song Sanggyun’s question seemed lighthearted since the old man was smiling, but Garam could feel the weight of that question.

Translation: ’What can you bring to the table?’

Song Sihyuk frowned, but the Alpha didn’t say anything.

On the other hand, Vice Chairman Song Seokju and Lee Wonjae were obviously waiting for Garam’s answer.

So, this is a test.

"Sir, can I answer that question honestly?"

But I’m not done yet.

But I swear I mean no harm.

So, I don’t think what I said was wrong.

There he goes again.

I guess Sihyuk Hyung’s family doesn’t joke around each other that much.

What’s wrong with Hyung’s humor?

Maybe I really am a funny guy?

I passed the chairman’s test.

Or funny.

***

OKAY, now this is even more nerve-wracking.

Sihyuk Hyung’s Omega father...

I thought we were here to have lunch with the family...
