CHAPTER 18: LIFE ON EASY MODE

IN JUST three days, Garam’s life completely changed.

Yep, money really moves things fast and effectively.

"Yeah, I know. But you need this place, right?"

In that way, Myung Hyesu, Shin Junho, and Shin Geon would be careful around Garam.

"The one standing next to him is Shin Geon," Song Sihyuk said, pointing at the tall man wearing a black suit like a bodyguard. "He’s an Alpha. Shin Geon and Shin Junho are married."

"Hyung, I’m a bit of a patriot, you know?" Garam said, showing his Ilsung phone to Song Sihyuk. "See? I’m using an Ilsung phone instead of that foreign phone that’s popular among young people."

"No, I don’t want them to know. It’s not because I don’t trust them," Garam said, smiling bitterly. "I just don’t want them to feel guilty."

"Garam-ah, this is Myung Hyesu— she’s the new CEO of this crappy company," Song Sihyuk said, obviously disinterested. "You can’t tell, but she’s an Alpha."

***

"You can keep it if you want," Song Sihyuk said. "But if you’re not satisfied with that compensation, we’ll send the car back to that woman."

Tsk.

Garam let out a soft gasp. "From the girl group Sunshinees?"

Garam smiled awkwardly because he knew what Song Sihyuk just did: he just let Myung Hyesu, Shin Junho, and Shin Geon know how much power Garam had over the Alpha.

"You’re not a patriot, Lim Garam— you’re just too poor to afford a foreign phone."

Shin Junho was the cute and slightly chubby man wearing casual athletic clothes.

"Oh, you know them even though they disbanded a year after their debut?"

"To your crappy company," Song Sihyuk said. "I’ll introduce you to the team I made to look after your career while I’m gone."

Yes, Song Sihyuk really brought back the house and gave it to Garam.

Oh.

"Lim Garam, catch."

On the second day, he received all the necessary documents and property title that made him the owner of his parents’ house.

"Do they know that we’re married?"

It was a car made by Hosung Motor Group— aka HMG.

"Where are we going this time, Hyung?"

"Yeah, that’s exactly why I chose this place for you," Song Sihyuk said while looking around. "I’m not satisfied because this place is small, but I knew you wouldn’t accept my penthouse."

Of course, Garam was smart enough not to ask that out loud.

His (former) shitty boss’ office looked shabby and cheap.

It’s the biggest conglomerate in Korea— bigger than Sihyuk Hyung’s SG Group.

"Are you sure? I can get you a better, foreign car."

"Don’t worry, they signed an NDA," Song Sihyuk said. "You don’t want your group members to know that you have a ’sponsor,’ do you?"

***

Hmm?

"Anyway, I’ll accept this car since I feel bad for that ahjumma."

Aigoo.

But, now, it looked like a decent office of the CEO of a (small) entertainment agency.

Aww, how cute.

Myung Hyesu smiled as if she were proud that she had met one of her wife’s fans.

At least, CEO Myung looks like she knows how to manage a group since she’s married to a former idol.

It was a spacious and fully-furnished two-bedroom apartment in a hot location.

Is it supposed to be this fast?

This hyung is so easily entertained.

A Hosung car may be a local brand, but it still wasn’t a cheap car for an average Korean.

MUCH to Garam’s relief, only three people were included in the team that Song Sihyuk mentioned.

The day after Garam signed the necessary documents to get married, he received the note that his marriage to Song Sihyuk had been registered already.

Plus, the third day was a bit hectic.

"This apartment is mine?"

I can tell my life will be on easy mode from now on.

By ’hot,’ Garam meant it was located in a good neighborhood that was near a subway, a bus station, a big shopping mall, and plenty of convenience stores around.

He realized that his secret husband really worked fast.

"Shin Junho will serve as your group’s manager," Song Sihyuk explained. "Shin Geon will be your personal manager and bodyguard, Garam-ah."

"Enough," Song Sihyuk said, annoyed. Then he pointed at the two men standing silently behind Myung Hyesu. "That’s Shin Junho, an Omega."

Garam was startled when he saw Song Sihyuk throw a small item to him.

But he didn’t want to know, so he didn’t ask.

"It’s near Yonhee University and our crappy agency..."

"Let’s go."

Shooting Star Entertainment, Garam’s crappy idol agency, was located in the area where most young people would often hang out in.

"A married Alpha," Myung Hyesu said proudly, showing off her wedding ring. "I’m married to the former idol Bona."

"I don’t need your penthouse, Hyung."

Aigoo.

"Chairman Lee’s mistress sent that car to you as compensation for hitting you," Song Sihyuk said, smirking. "Her compensation is as cheap as her entire personality."

"You’re too mature for your age."

fre\e(w)ebn ov.e l\. co.m

That’s where they scout their trainees.

I wonder how much he paid the previous buyer...

Song Sihyuk laughed out loud as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

Song Sihyuk chuckled, and then he gently patted Garam’s head. "Don’t seduce me too much, Garam-ah— I already said we won’t consummate our marriage. Not yet, at least."

His instinct kicked in and caught it.

"The voice in my head."

The latest Ilsung phones are expensive, but still cheap compared to a certain foreign phone.

"Like I said, do you have proof that I did that?"

Well, it’s normal for a group to have at least one bodyguard, so it should be fine.

"The three of them will make sure your little Kpop group will succeed," Song Sihyuk said, and then he looked at Garam. "But if you’re not satisfied with their job, tell me— I’ll fire them and replace them with a more competent team."

It was true, though.

The Ilsung phone was made by, well, the Ilsung Group.

Moreover...

"I wouldn’t accept this car if you didn’t send your subordinates to beat up that ahjumma."

But why is this hyung holding back when I already know he’s a horny dog?

Anyway, Garam exchanged polite greetings with Shin Junho and Shin Geon.

Well, Garam couldn’t deny that.

"I should at least be this mature so you wouldn’t look too bad for marrying someone my age, Hyung."

Unlike the previous shitty CEO.

"Oh."

My parents’ house is near my high school, but it’s a two-hour commute to Yonhee University...

But Sihyuk Hyung is a chaebol, so I can see why a Hosung car is cheap for him.

"Yes, ma’am. I used to be a fan, and Bona-nim was my bias."

Garam, on the other hand, was satisfied.

The conglomerate owned by Lee Taeho’s father...

"A key?" Garam asked, and then he lifted his head. "This is a key to a Hosung car..."

"No— they just think I’m your sponsor."
