CHAPTER 15: THE FINAL STRAW

"AND THAT’s the story."

Garam raised an eyebrow after listening to Song Sihyuk’s story about how his family dealt with the HMG Group.

... only to be greeted by his suitcase, backpacks, and personal belongings that were scattered around the garden.

"Dear, your stepmother and stepbrother have already fled to another country," the ahjumma said worriedly. "They also sold this house to someone else— and the new owner asked me to wait here and let you know that they want you gone the soonest."

Plus, that bastard Seo Minwoo sold him to those Alphas.

Garam really didn’t want to face his stepmother and stepbrother.

They didn’t even send me a single text message when I was away for more than a week.

He wouldn’t have slit his throat if he was that determined to stay alive.

"You’ll still allow me to debut even after I sign a marriage contract with you?"

It was the ahjumma who would come once a week to wash his stepmother’s clothes because his stepmother couldn’t trust Garam with the laundry.

Wait, is it even possible to change a Beta into an Omega?

The scary part was the experiment.

***

"So, what’s the ’little experiment?’" Garam asked, knitting his eyebrows. "Tell me."

I better confront that stupid stepbrother of mine.

They’re going to make me take drugs, won’t they? I don’t want to be an addict, so I better ask more about it later with Sihyuk Hyung later.

But there were things he needed to clear first.

It’s not like I’m attached to my life as a Beta.

Garam could only nod, couldn’t find the right words to say at that moment.

So, being an Omega wouldn’t bother me. Probably. It would be annoying if I start smelling pheromones, and Alpha would probably flock to me since I’m good-looking.

What the hell?

However...

Oh.

What the fuck?

"Ahjumma, why are my things here?" Garam asked, confused. Well, at the back of his head, he already knew the answer. But he still wanted a confirmation. "Where is Minwoo Hyung? And my stepmother."

"Garam-ah, is that you?"

"Garam-ssi, we’re here."

That was all Garam could think while in the backseat of the car that Jung Han— Song Sihyuk’s secretary— was driving.

But I realized his family loves this hyung if his father was willing to give up on a billion-won contract just to clean up after his mess.

"Our marriage will be secret. My grandfather will be furious if he finds out I married a Beta," Song Sihyuk explained. "Only my parents would know about our secret marriage. But, don’t worry— they won’t require you to act like a proper son-in-law to them."

And, damn, the offer had just become more tempting.

That was a relief.

Oh.

I mean, I don’t even have a strong will to live.

"I know it sounds crazy, but I want to test how special my pheromones are," Song Sihyuk said. "I have friends who are currently making pills that could potentially turn Betas into Omegas."

Ah, this hyung must have lost his mind.

Song Sihyuk raised an eyebrow before finally giving him a proper response. "Let me change you into an Omega, Lim Garam."

Correct content is on

But can I really live as an Omega once my body changes?

But Song Sihyuk also looked serious.

"The experiment won’t start right away, but I need your answer now since I’ll be leaving for New York next week," Song Sihyuk said. "I don’t want to rush you, but I don’t have much time left here. If you accept my offer, then I’ll accept yours— I’ll buy your crappy idol agency, clear you off the debt under your name, and support your debut. Even though I won’t be here for the next five years, I’ll make sure there are people who will help you become a successful idol."

Suhyuk Hyung will clear my debt, and he’ll even help me succeed as an idol.

He still couldn’t wrap his head around it.

TO BE FAIR, Song Sihyuk’s offer wasn’t that bad.

***

Hence, Garam dragged himself out of the car...

"I’ll give you three days to decide," Song Sihyuk said. "For now, go home and rest."

Argh.

Song Sihyuk’s father even allowed him to get married to a Beta temporarily.

This Hyung is really weird...

She’s the only employee that my stepmother can afford.

But, this time, the pros outweighed the cons.

Okay, the offer was really tempting.
