Chapter 11: CH 10

Cho-seung, who wandered in every corner of the lobby, let out a breath of dismay at the pheromone that disappeared in an instant. He thought it was an opportunity, but apparently, it wasn’t.

Cho-seung, sitting on the chair with a dry face, first called the team leader. He had a doctor’s advice that he needed to be careful, even if he took medicine, but he wouldn’t completely get better.

So, it was difficult to keep going to work and it was better for the team members and for him to apply for working from home, which he was told before.

[Hello?]

“Team Leader, this is Assistant Manager Kang.”

[Did you go to the hospital? Do you need to work from home?]

Even though he didn’t mention the purpose, he was amazed at the team leader’s noticing right away, not anyone else but a team leader.

“Yes. It’s not something that will be resolved in a short period of time. There are drugs, but I’ve heard that there are times when it’s not completely under control.”

[I see. I think you can work from home for at least two weeks or up to a month, but you still have to go to work sometimes. Is that okay?]

That was more than enough. Cho-seung, who smiled softly in the words of the team leader’s consideration, said his thanks again.

After getting permission to work from home, he contacted his employee to send the documents stored on the company computer by e-mail, and then decided to leave the hospital. Even if he stayed, things wouldn’t be resolved, so it was right for him to go home.

The smell of ylang-ylang that he felt before rose again as he left the hospital with a defeated walk, but he didn’t know because he had already headed to the parking lot.

“Ha-hyun-ssi! You’re here?”

Ha-hyun, who visited Woo-jin’s house after a long time, bowed his head slightly to greet his warm, welcoming sister-in-law.

“How have you been?”

“There was nothing I couldn’t do. Anyway, I was surprised to hear the news from my husband. Today I only made the food I liked when I was pregnant, I hope it suits your taste.”

“I will eat well. Other than strawberries and injeolmi, I have never had morning sickness from any other food.”

“The baby is nice.”

The child in Woo-jin’s arms couldn’t wait for the conversation and reached out to Ha-hyun.

Ha-hyun tried to hold her hand, but realized that he hadn’t even washed his hands yet, and hurriedly hid his arms. Tears began to form in her pretty eyes as his hand, which was approaching as if giving and taking away, moved away.

“Uu…”

“No, no. You can’t cry, our good Yoo-ah (유아), cup cup.”

Yoo-ah was a child who cried once until she fell asleep. It wasn’t easy to soothe a crying child like the whole world went away.

“Ha-hyun-ssi, wash your hands quickly, quickly!”

“Yes, yes. But So-yeon-ssi, no, Sister-in-law, take it a little slower—”

Ha-hyun, who was pushed by So-yeon, washed his hands and took off his coat, took over Yoo-ah in Woo-jin’s arms.

“She’s my daughter, but she got a nasty face—ah!” (내 딸이지만 얼굴 더럽게 밝힌)

“Why are you talking to your daughter like that?”

That’s true, tho.

While Woo-jin cautiously retorted after being beaten in the back, Ha-hyun made eye contact with Yoo-ah he hadn’t seen in a long time.

Yoo-ah, who was about to burst out crying with her neck dyed red to the end of the neck, just smiled brightly.

“Have you called the detective agency I told you about last time?”

So-yeon asked, promptly guiding Hahyun to the seat so that he wouldn’t have difficulty. Ha-hyun, who smiled awkwardly at her, scratched his cheek.

The phone number was delivered well, but the request was still pending. It was because he wasn’t sure if he could meet Cho-seung or not. Moreover, Ha-hyun didn’t give up the thought that even if he had a child, he would raise them by himself.

“Never mind, how can I break that bull’s stubbornness? You will figure it out.”

“Well, you will be the one who always loses.”

Until now, Ha-hyun’s stubbornness had never been broken. Even the persistent Woo-jin shook his head after saying everything.

It wasn’t like he had a harmless personality, but So-yeon didn’t really care. Now was the time to resolve Yoo-ah’s stubbornness in Ha-hyun’s arms.

“Princess, come here. Uncle is difficult to eat, ung?”

Rejecting So-yeon, whom she loved so much, Yoo-ah stretched out and grabbed Ha-hyun’s hem. Ha-hyun smiled and whispered that it was okay as she grabbed his clothes as if she would never give up.

“I’m so sorry, what should I do? I called you to eat something delicious, but my princess bothered you.”

“It’s okay. It’s not like I can’t eat it.”

Exclamations flowed from Ha-hyun’s mouth as he looked at the table full of food until the table legs seemed to be broken. Yoo-ah, who exclaimed after him, stretched her arms out at what was so good.

Taking a spoon and eating slowly, Ha-hyun faithfully answered the endless questions.

The questions like did he go to the lounge bar or not, did he go to the hospital regularly, did he feel any pain these days. Then, when asked how he met a human who didn’t use contraception properly, Ha-hyun kept his mouth shut.

How do I explain this.

Ha-hyun, who was looking at So-yeon and Woo-jin, who had shining eyes, alternately, pursed his lips for a while before opening his mouth.

“I’m passing by the hotel lobby.”

“And then?”

“I took the elevator.”

“Yeah, you rode it.”

“I met him there.”

While Woo-jin wrinkled his eyebrows at the answer that was bland than expected, So-yeon raised her hands to cover her cheeks.

“Did your opponent follow you? Right?”

“How did you know?”

“It’s obvious even if you don’t see it. Where is Ha-hyun’s appearance common?”

He must have followed after him, drunk on his looks and pheromone scent. Ha-hyun, who went to the lounge bar to enjoy the night, probably didn’t hide his pheromone, so if you paid a little attention, you would have known the meaning of it.

“Isn’t he a light bas—akh!”

Woo-jin, who was pinched on his thigh by the smiling So-yeon, quickly rubbed the pinched area. So-yeon spoke with ventriloquism without looking back at him.

“I want you to speak well in front of the child.”

“Sorry, honey.”

So-yeon, who always kept a smiling face with the thought that she couldn’t show the quarrel in front of her daughter, quickly became proficient in ventriloquism. The first step was to not raise her voice when scolding Woo-jin in front of Yoo-ah, who couldn’t understand yet.

Woo-jin, who was always scolded today, took a deep breath and asked what he was curious about.

“Do you know anything about the other person?”

“Name. Gender. Characteristics?”

“What else? Age is?”

“I don’t know.”

“Hey, can you find this at the detective agency?”

“Do you think we can find him? As long as you have money.”

Woo-jin nodded his head at the words that weren’t so wrong. Right, what else couldn’t you do with money in this day and year?

* * *

Ha-hyun, who had the ability to find him enough, was eating leisurely without even thinking about looking for him. Cho-seung visited the hotel where he first met him to get anything, even if it was a small clue.

Looking back at the lobby where he first felt the scent of ylang-ylang, expecting something like that to happen, he couldn’t hide his disappointment at the space full of other people’s pheromones.

Ha-hyun’s pheromone, who was a recessive omega, was frankly weak compared to other omega pheromones. However, he had the charm of grabbing anyone in an instant.

It was purely a coincidence that he met Ha-hyun.

When his father passed away and he spent days wandering around, the cocktail he learned became a habit. He didn’t enjoy it very often, but when his job at work got messy or felt stuffy, he would have a drink or two at the hotel lounge bar.

That day was also such a day.

On the day when he stopped by the hotel to drink a cocktail with a tired body, Cho-seung, who encountered Ha-hyun’s sweet pheromone, chased after him as if possessed and asked for an unexpected meeting.

The eyes full of surprise were shining beautifully when they first met. He had lost all of his principles ​​and fallen into Ha-hyun without regretting it as if he was possessed by pheromone like a beast.

Cho-seung, who was wandering in his memories, came to his senses, thinking that this wasn’t the time. He climbed up the elevator to the lounge bar he had stopped by to chat for a while.

There were still few people in the space where the proper melody could be heard. Cho-seung looked at the seated person’s face and was disappointed to see that there was no Ha-hyun there.

He knew that he was pregnant too, so there was no way Ha-hyun couldn’t have known that he was pregnant. So, he might be deliberately not coming to the lounge bar.

However, he was taking attendance stamps every day these days, thinking he might come to find him.

Cho-seung went to the seat where he was sitting with Ha-hyun and ordered only one cocktail with the lowest alcohol content, spending time minimizing going to the bathroom as much as possible like a built-in closet.

“He’s not coming today.”

Cho-seung, who had been there until late in the morning, sighed as he checked the watch on his wrist.

When will they be able to meet?

No, can we even meet?

Unable to hold back another sigh, he finished paying and left the hotel for tomorrow’s work.

It was a series of days that made him frustrated for some reason.

* * *

Today, it was a phone call that caught Cho-seung’s ankle as he was going to the hospital rather than the hotel.

“Hello?”

[I’m calling because there’s no news about this guy who’s looking into someone.]

“Ah.”

Cho-seung let out a sigh and noticed that several days had already passed and touched his forehead. He must be forgotten about it. As he was blaming himself, he heard her usual voice over the speaker.

[So, the taemong is correct?]

“Yes, I think you are right. But…”

It was difficult for him to say that he had an accident making someone pregnant. Especially since he had never had an accident except breaking a plate when he was a kid.

When he bit his lips and couldn’t forget his words, Cho-seung made a strange expression.

[Why, you think you can’t be a kid who was playing with fire?]

“…how did you know?”

[Oh my, seriously? What’s wrong with you, you have an accident.]

Hearing the insignificant voice, she didn’t seem to be surprised at all.

Cho-seung pressed his forehead firmly, listening to the response of his mother’s unchanging reaction, whether to still call him bold or calm.

[Okay. It’s just a mistake, an accident. You’ve been living your life too well.]

“I live a normal life, though.”

[Then what is happening now is the most unusual thing in your life. That’s really interesting.]

Hearing her hum, he thought she really enjoyed it. Cho-seung, who had been troubled by this lately, was crazy about his mother’s reaction.

“Mother… why are you so welcoming?”

[Why am I welcoming? I have grandchildren now, grandchildren. They must be cute, and I’m blessed to have grandchildren.]

She was excited at the thought of buying them sweets, and toys, and pampering them, but Cho-seung said firmly.

“I haven’t found the pregnant one. I don’t have any contact information or anything. So even if grandchildren are born in this world, we can’t see them, Mother.”

[…what?]

He bent his back upward at her reaction which was more shocked by the fact that she couldn’t see her grandchildren than that her son had had an accident.

It felt like the sky was turning yellow.
