CHAPTER 6: DANGEROUS INVITATION

GARAM wasn’t able to enjoy his winter break.

For the past two weeks, all he did was attend practice with his group members in the crappy studio that their shitty company rented for them.

’Come to my office tomorrow— let’s hear your presentation.’

To distract him, Gong Hanseo taught him how to sing and dance to pop songs. Then, he eventually followed Gong Hanseo to the crappy idol agency where they were currently signed with.

But Finix Games wasn’t a chaebol company.

Kim Heedo wasn’t only tall, the kid was also handsome and charismatic.

"Yes, that HMG Group— Hosung Motor Group."

There was a fourth one, but the general public was only interested in the ’Big 3.’

He actually thought of hurting Seo Minwoo first, but he changed his mind.

***

"Hello, sir," Garam said, bowing to Jang Sangjun while greeting him politely. "I’m Lim Garam, Seo Minwoo’s younger brother."

"I know," Jang Sangjun said, smiling. "Minwoo talks a lot about you."

Hmm?

***

Before Song Sihyuk could react to Kim Heedo’s disrespect, the brat had already left to greet the other guests.

The first grandson of the Ilsung Group’s Chairman Kim manifested as a Dominant Alpha.

If only that brat weren’t the Ilsung Group heir...

But he didn’t take the call.

HOW BORING.

But it seemed like he had to give up that dream now.

"Drop the act," Seo Minwoo said sternly. "If you try to escape, I’ll make sure you can never attend Yonhee University. You know I can ruin your future if I want to, right?"

"You received a message from Lim Garam-ssi— and he seems to be in trouble, sir."

"Thanks for coming to my party, Hyung-nim."

"Just like me, huh?"

Oho?

Okay, that was shocking.

"Yes, but I hope our similarities end there, Hyung-nim. I don’t want to be an adult like you," Kim Heedo said, flashing his business smile. "You’re a bad adult, after all."

My stepbrother is bringing me to HMG Group’s Lee Taeho’s birthday party later. I don’t know where, but I think I’m going there as a product. So, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to come to your office tomorrow.

"I’ll introduce you to Taeho-ssi later," Jang Sangjun said, finally stopped groping Garam’s shoulder. "See you at the party, Garam-ah."

One from Gong Hanseo, and the other from an unknown number.

Garam suddenly felt a tiny hope grow in his heart.

Garam turned around and found Seo Minwoo leaning against the door frame. "This is the first time I’m hearing about this party, Hyung."

Oh!

Haaah.

The ’Big 3 Chaebols’ that the country recognizes are the Ilsung Group, the Daesang Group, and the SG Group.

HAAAH.

Plus, his pheromones are stronger than most adult Alphas.

I don’t want you to be involved in my problem, Hanseo Hyung.

Just like Song Sihyuk.

"Hyung, I’m not feeling well—"

In the end, Garam had no choice but to prepare for the party.

Is that ’Taeho-ssi’ another Alpha friend of Minwoo Hyung?

Song Sihyuk glanced at his secretary. "What is it?"

"Taeho-ssi will like you a lot."

And he’s putting on the ’good hyung’ act in front of his ’friends.’

"You can’t tell because you’re a Beta, but Sangjun Hyung is an Alpha," Seo Minwoo continued with his introductions. "In short, Sangjun Hyung is a respectable member of society. So, be polite to him."

If I’m going to bring him down, I’ll make sure we’ll hit rock bottom together.

Song Sihyuk actually wanted to return to his ’loan shark persona’ that day, but his parents forced him to attend the Ilsung Group’s party that night.

But this big house is only fancy on the outside. My stepmother has already sold all the expensive furniture here and replaced them with cheap ones. And since they can’t pay our house helpers anymore, they left us.

Yeah, I should kill this bastard first.

Garam’s dark thoughts were interrupted when he got a call from Gong Hanseo.

I don’t care about the company— I just want to debut with Hanseo Hyung.

Gong Hanseo was the one who helped stop him from self-sabotaging when his father died.

"Young Master."

"I can see that Minwoo didn’t lie," Jang Sangjun said, gently patting Garam by the shoulder. "You’re quite handsome for a Beta, Garam-ah. In fact, I bet you get mistaken for an Alpha often."

It’s Song Sihyuk Hyung!

Jang Sangjun’s smile looked decent, but it gave Garam the chills.

"Garam-ah, this is Jang Sangjun-ssi," Seo Minwoo said, still acting like a good brother. "He’s the oldest son of Finix Games."

Tsk.

When the phone stopped ringing, he received two messages.

Garam just smiled.

It was being held at the hotel owned by the said company.

It seemed like Seo Minwoo caught a true big fish this time.

Did Minwoo Hyung waste money again?

Ah, that’s the biggest game company in the country.

"Wear that to the party later."

Fortunately, his stepmother and stepbrother hadn’t sold their house yet.

It was easy for Seo Minwoo to pretend to be a noble young master because their house— the one that Garam’s parents worked hard for— was in a rich neighborhood.

How can I fight a chaebol?

Everything looks expensive...

Garam’s eyes widened a beat. "That HMG Group?"

The entire outfit came with accessories like a belt, a watch, and even a pair of shoes.

Minwoo Hyung talks a lot about me? Hah! More like my stepbrother probably did a lot of ’sales talk.’

HMG Group is the 4th biggest chaebol family in Korea. They have several businesses— like all conglomerates do. But their core is the automotive industry. HMG Group is a major car manufacturer, after all.

Oh, well.

That was why Garam was the one in charge of all the household chores now.

I’ve truly become Cinderella.

Aigoo.

And the occasion for that party?

***

Garam was confused, but before he could even ask questions, Seo Minwoo had swiftly ushered Jang Sangjun to the door.

Luckily, the item that Gong Hanseo— a hyung that he trusted— was already in his hands.

This isn’t enough to kill Alphas, but this is better than going to the tiger’s den empty-handed.

Well, it was better than staying at home.

I’m sorry, Hanseo Hyung.

Here goes nothing.

***

"Because I’m only telling you about it now, duh," Seo Minwoo said sarcastically. "Tonight is Taeho-ssi’s 30th birthday, and we’re invited to his party."

Garam sent a simple message to Song Sihyuk.

"Lee Taeho-ssi is the youngest son of HMG Group."

"Garam-ah, you’re home?"

Garam was confused when another name was brought up— a name that he didn’t recognize.

What party?

"You’re still in grade school, but you’re already that tall," Song Sihyuk said to Kim Heedo— the first grandson of Ilsung Group. "You really are a Dominant Alpha, Heedo-ya."

Huh?

"Who is this ’Taeho-ssi,’ Hyung?"

Garam clenched his hands tightly.

But that also meant Garam was in real danger.

Tsk.

WHEN Garam arrived in his bedroom, an unfamiliar set of clothes was on his bed. It was an expensive three-piece suit.

Seo Minwoo, his bastard of a stepbrother, had Alphas at their house again.

The grand ballroom was decorated in a way that suited Ilsung Group’s status as the #1 chaebol family in the country.

Sihyuk Hyung is a gangster, right? I’m sure he can’t go against a chaebol. But he seems to be interested in me, so maybe he’ll come and rescue me if I ask for his help?
