h4Chapter 117: ULTIMATE BETRAYAL/h4

    "THERE’S a high chance that we might lose the baby if Lim Garam Oppa doesn’t recover soon."

    Song Sihyuk flinched when he heard Mija’s warning.

    "We can’t let that happen!" his grandfather said sternly, mming his hands on the table as he got up from his seat. "Song Sihyuk, your eloping ends here. We’re bringing Lim Garam back to Seoul this instant!"

    Tsk.

    Song Sihyuk wanted to protest, but he shut his mouth when he saw how furious his grandfather looked.

    iIf I lose Grandfather’s favor, I can’t exact my revenge against Cho Dongpyo properly./i

    "Give it up, son," his Alpha father said while patting Song Sihyuk’s back. "Moreover, I’m sure you don’t want anything bad to happen to your wife and your son."

    Right.

    iThat, too./i

    Song Sihyuk sighed and nodded. "Yes, Abeoji. I’ll bring Lim Garam back to my penthouse."

    "Not there," his Omega father said sternly. "I’ll take care of my son-inw at my house."

    Okay, now his Omega father was crossing the line.

    Song Sihyuk was about to say a piece of his mind when...

    "Lim Garam Oppa needs to stay with me at the temple."

    It was Mija.

    Now everyone was looking at the kid shaman again.

    "The energy in the mountains will help Lim Garam Oppa recover fast," Mija exined calmly. "Uncle Wonjae cane with us, but not Sihyuk Ahjussi."

    "Yah," Song Sihyukined. "Are you trying to separate me from my wife?"

    "Yes, that’s exactly what I’m doing, Ahjussi," Mija said bluntly. "You’re the reason why Lim Garam Oppa is weak. If you continue staying by his side, he might lose the baby from stress."

    Tsk.

    "You heard the shaman, Song Sihyuk," his grandfather said sternly. "Don’t approach Lim Garam until he’s fully recovered."

    Song Sihyuk clenched his hands tightly. "Grandfather...!"

    "If you don’t do as the shaman says, I’ll lock you up here until your child is born," his grandfather threatened him. "You choose, Song Sihyuk— stay away from Lim Garam for a few weeks, or get stranded here for nine months?"

    Tsk.

    Song Sihyuk, unfortunately, didn’t have enough power yet to fight against his grandfather.

    Heck, he hadn’t been promoted as the Vice Chairman yet officially.

    Plus, all the people on the ind still considered his grandfather as the real boss there.

    In short, he lost the battle.

    "Son, answer your grandfather," his Alpha said firmly, grabbing and squeezing his shoulder tight. "But think carefully."

    Ah.

    iThat means Abeoji won’t take my side this time./i

    Haaah.

    "Fine. I won’t show up until my wife recovers," Song Sihyuk said, frowning. "But I want an update about my wife’s condition every hour."

    "That should be easy," his grandfather said, and then the old man turned to his Omega father. "Wonjae-ya, I’ll let you go with Mija and take care of Lim Garam. Make sure you’ll let Song Sihyuk know about his wife’s condition often."

    "Yes, Father-inw," his Omega said politely. "Thank you."

    Tsk.

    It was Song Sihyuk’splete defeat in the end.

    iI FEEL weird./i

    It wasn’t like Garam was purposely starving himself to death.

    He simply couldn’t eat well.

    iI feel like I’m going to throw up if I eat the food they bring to me./i

    Not because the meals weren’t good.

    iI just don’t have the appetite./i

    His stomach was really weird these days.

    iIt’s as if my body doesn’t belong to me anymore./i

    Moreover, Garam couldn’t sleep properly.

    iI keep having the same dream every night ever since my heat cycle stopped./i

    A baby tiger— a beautiful baby tiger kept showing up in his arms in those dreams.

    To be honest, he had an idea about what could be happening.

    iAnd that thought scares me./i

    "Garam-ah."

    Hmm?

    Garam immediately got up when he heard a familiar voice. "Appa?"

    Yes, it was his Omega father-inw.

    Garam stood up, just in time for the door to open.

    He wasn’t wrong.

    It was really Lee Wonjae.

    "Appa!"

    Lee Wonjae smiled as if he were relieved, and then he opened his arms. "Come here, dear."

    Garam immediately ran straight into his Omega father-inw’s embrace. "Appa, please get me out of here."

    "Yes, dear," Lee Wonjae said while rubbing his back. "We’re leaving this ind now."

    Thank goodness.

    Garam was about to thank his Omega father-inw, but he finally noticed the people standing behind them.

    He ignored Song Sihyuk on purpose.

    And then he focused on the child that he hadn’t seen for a while.

    "Mija-ya..."

    "Hello, Garam Oppa," Mija greeted him politely. "You’reing home with me to the temple. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you."

    Oh.

    Garam was happy that he wasing home with Mija and not with Song Sihyuk.

    But the fact that Song Sihyuk didn’tin made him worry a little.

    iWhy is Hyung being quiet?/i

    And Mija would take care of him?

    iWait, isn’t the kid a shaman.../i

    "Don’t worry, dear," Lee Wonjae assured Garam. "My son isn’t allowed to see you until your condition stabilizes. If you still don’t want to see him even after that, then I’ll make sure it won’t happen."

    Song Sihyuk shot Lee Wonjae a cold look, but still kept his mouth shut.

    iSomething is wrong here./i

    Plus, his Omega father-inw said something about his condition.

    iYes, they can probably tell I’m sick. But I feel like... oh, wait./i

    Garam felt like all the pieces were finally falling into ce.

    Song Sihyuk’s silence.

    iWhy would Hyung suddenly allow other people to take care of me?/i

    Lee Wonjae suddenlying to save him from that ce.

    iMy Omega father-inw has been granted ess to be here./i

    Mija’s appearance.

    iThe kid is a shaman. So, if they are this worried about me, then maybe Mija saw a vision rted to my health./i

    Wait.

    Health?

    The strange dreams with the ibaby/i tiger.

    iCould those be conception dreams?/i

    The changes in his body.

    His lost in appetite.

    The squishy feeling in his stomach.

    iOh./i

    "Am I pregnant?" Garam asked in horror while cing a hand on his stomach. "Is that why you’re all here?"

    No one answered verbally.

    But the serious looks on everyone’s faces confirmed it.

    Haaah.

    iI’m pregnant?/i

    But...

    "Hyung, how did this happen?" Garam asked weakly while clutching his chest, addressing Song Sihyuk politely because he didn’t want to be rude in front of his Omega father-inw. Yes, he still cared about that even though he was still in disbelief. "Weren’t you taking birth control pills?"

    iI do, too./i

    Yes, Garam was aware that the birth control pills he had been taking were weak.

    But he thought it should be fine since Song Sihyuk was taking strong birth control pills for the two of them.

    So, how...?

    "I watch you every night take n Zero, Hyung."

    Song Sihyuk looked at Garam straight in the eye with a cold look on his face. "Those aren’t real n Zero pills— those are just vitamins."

    What?

    iHyung did the opposite of what I was doing...?/i

    "Why would you do that, Hyung?" Garam asked in disbelief. "You said you don’t need a baby."

    "I lied," Song Sihyuk admitted bluntly. "My goal has always been to have a baby with you, Lim Garam."

    What?

    "You didn’t tell Lim Garam before you married him?" Lee Wonjae asked in disbelief. "Song Sihyuk, I thought you and your wife are on the same page?"

    Song Sihyuk just clenched his jaw tight and avoided his Omega father’s using gaze.

    Now Garam was confused.

    And it just became harder for him to breathe.

    "What’s happening here? Appa? Sihyuk Hyung?"

    "Oppa, I’ll tell you the truthter," Mija said calmly while holding Garam’s hand. "For now, please sleep— you need to rest first."

    Hmm?

    Garam wanted to ask what the kid meant by that, however...

    iWhy do I suddenly feel sleepy?/i

    strong***/strong

    HMM?

    iWhy do I feel refreshed?/i

    When Garam opened his eyes, he got confused whether he was still dreaming or what.

    For a moment, he even thought he got ’isekaid’ to Joseon Period because he found himself in a room of a traditional house.

    iThe one you see in period dramas./i

    Plus, the bed that he was actually using was a mattress on the floor and not really a bed.

    "Garam Oppa, good morning."

    Oh.

    When Garam turned to his side, he found Mija sitting on a kneeling position next to him. "Mija-ya..."

    "Would you like to wash up and have breakfast with me, Oppa?"

    "Uhm, before that, how long was I out?"

    "You just slept the entire night, Oppa."

    "Where are we?"

    "We’re back in Seoul," Mija answered, gesturing with her hands. "This is my house. To be exact, this is the temple where I grew up with."

    Oh, right.

    iThis kid is really a shaman, huh?/i

    "Is Sihyuk Hyung...?"

    "Ahjussi isn’t here," Mija assured Garam. "Only you, me, and Uncle Wonjae are in this house. But there are bodyguards and other household staff members nearby. Medical staff, too. But they won’t set foot in here without permission."

    That was a relief.

    But Garam was still not feeling 100%fortable there.

    "Mija-ya, you told me you’re going to tell me everything."

    "Are you ready to hear the truth now, Oppa? You’re still weak."

    "I know that I should be more careful now that I’m pregnant, but I still want to hear the truth now."

    Mija fell silent for a moment before nodding. "Oppa, Ahjussi needs to marry an Omega who can give him a child. And that baby in your womb is destined to preserve the fortune of the Song n."

    "What?" Garam asked in disbelief. "That’s the reason Sihyuk Hyung wants to have a baby with me?"

    iEven if it means betraying my love and trust?/i
