For several days, he felt sick to his stomach, so he made an appointment with the omega internal medicine clinic he used to attend. It was a hospital that knew him well. However, the hospital director recommended that he go to Hansako University Hospital. He was terrified to know what the problem was.
What's more, the hospital that even made reservations for him was a difficult place to go. The foreshadowing was not good. The moment he met his alpha female doctor, he knew the reason for the move wasn't because he was seriously ill, but that someone had intervene.
"Executive Director Min contacted me. He will arrive around the time the inspection is over, so don't worry. Go ahead and lie down."
During the ultrasound, Junkyung's spine became cold. How did he know where he was? Does he have someone followed him? If so, when?
While the ominous imagination continued, the examination was over. The doctor took off the silicone gloves and nagged with the doctor's characteristic cynical voice.
"It was around the time when Executive Director Min ran up to the hospital while carrying Jun-Kyung Ho trembling."
There was no such thing of that cold man carrying Jun-Kyung and running since due to his cold personality, he is even more fussy.
"The fetus is fine. He looks healthy right now." Rather than the doctor's nonsensical talk, the word "fetus" struck Junkyung hard on the back of the head.
"But this is because Executive Director Min is an alpha out of grade. Did you have any sperm boosters? Jun-Kyung Ho's hormone level is close to infertility so having a child truly is a miracle. At this point, this can become the subject of research."
Unfamiliar sound did not even reach his ears. I knew it. I half thought it would be like this. But when I was confirmed to be killed, I was dazed. His brain was messed up. A fetus means pregnancy. The time is then? Actually it happened only once, so of course it was at that time.
The doctor monitored Jun-Kyung's abdomen with an ultrasound machine, and the nurse drew blood without any sound.
Meanwhile, Executive Director Min arrived. The doctor was more than happy to see a strong man walking through the curtains of the examination room.
"You are here. Just finished the test. Wait a minute."
While the nurse silently concentrates on post-medical treatment, the attending ignores the person involved and give a detailed explanation to the man who has no legal relationship nor is personally related to the patient.
"The fetus is healthy. Of course,that's only the case now. If his hormone level doesn't rise to a stable level, he's likely to have a miscarriage. I got the blood drawn, so I'll prescribe hormone injections as soon as the results come out. Of course, no crowds. Contrary to its appearance, the uterus is weak. Sexual intercourse is also prohibited. Do you understand?"
To a man whom most people are wary and fearful due his huge body and terrifying aura, the attending physician uses a mixture of sarcasm and respect.
Executive Director Min doesn't look too bad either. The question of the relationship the two had disappeared from his head, since his situation right now is more difficult.
Executive Director Min waited patiently for Junkyung to change clothes and come out. After that, he led Junkyung to an empty VIP ward without saying hello.
"Does anyone know about this besides us?"
Junkyung slowly shook his head. Except for doctors and nurses, there are only two people who know of the child's existence right now.
Will you give birth? I never thought about it. No, I didn't have time to think. I just found out I'm pregnant.
Before giving birth or not, it was difficult to realize that there was a child in the womb. He couldn't answer right away. While he was hesitating without a specific answer, Executive Director Min waited patiently.
When the silence became awkward, Junkyung opened his mouth with a low sigh. "I don't know, but...."
"But?"
"I can't even give birth.......yeah, first of all, it's my bloodline and it's my responsibility, so I want to discuss it with my parents and make a decision." Yes, now that this has happened, it is right to discuss it with parents and make a decision. It was the most ideal and sane answer that Junkyung thought of.
"There is a high chance of giving birth."
"No what....I can't give you a definitive answer." He can't really say anything. It wasn't a crime, but Junkyung could not raise his head. He stood a little distance and looked down only at the feet of Executive Director Seon Min.It was embarrassing and sad and scary at the same time. How did he fall into a situation of being a "single parent" that he had never thought about in his life? He wish someone could offer a cool solution instead.
"Then, let's do this. If you give birth, that child will be raised as my child. Half of it is from my bloodline."
His bloodline. The baby is Min Hyun-seung child, so it's true that the baby has Min Hyun-seung's blood. But half?
He is out of breath for nothing. Is it because it's early in pregnancy?
Pregnant.
Junkyung was terrified of thinking of that unfamiliar word. It was an instinctive rejection evoked by his firm identity as a beta male, unlike his body that was an Omega.
"But" Junkyung stopped the words he had struggled to bring out again. He need think to think carefully about what to do with the child who was born from a moment of inattention and to think carefully about this situation in the first place. Earlier, he hoped that someone would give him an answer, but now he was quite upset when someone talked about his personal problems. Whatever he does with his child, it is a matter that he should think entirely on his own.
"Even if I give birth, I have no intention of selling my child there."
He raised his eyes straight with rejection. Contempt is the only thing that can be returned to the rudeness of arbitrarily interfering with extremely personal matters. The other party remain unaffected by him.
Should I use my fists?
Unfortunately, Junkyung was not able to. His fucking hormones made him feel nauseous, breathless, and slightly dizzy. He only had an ultrasound, but it also subtly tugged at his abdomen. In fact, he was tormented by the fact that he was standing here.
Whether the other party was unaware of it or notices it but chose to ignore it, the other party continued the conversation in a blunt manner.
"There seems to be a misunderstanding, Jun-Kyung Ho." After deciding what to say for a moment, Hyung-Seung Min, managing director, spoke out in a firm tone. "Children need someone to give birth to. I think it's right for the biological father,Junkyung, to raise the child both ethically and for the emotional development of the child."
What is his intention? He said he was going to raise the child as his own, but suddenly Junkyung has to raise the child again. Junkyung was confused by the 180 degree turn of his words.
"Junkyung Ho,let's get married." Toward Jun-Kyung who frowned, the other party calmly proposed to him as if he was offering a glass of water.
"....What?"
"Marry me and raise the child that's in your womb. How about that? You will naturally inherit the social and economic status the child will have, and it will also be better for the child's emotions. Also, from Jun-Kyung Ho's perspective, two are better at raising a child than alone."
The gaping mouth never closed. It was only when his mouth was slightly dry that Junkyung answered with a shiver. "You....it's so sudden....no, why are you getting marry all of a sudden?"
"When it comes to a family with wealth and prestige, they are very obsessed with bloodlines. That's why my father has had three wives. Please carefully consider that this is the best way for JunKyung to protect his children."
A sudden marriage was proposed. However, the ways of thinking of the upper classes can't be followed.
There are quite a few upper classes that Junkyung knows. However, there are few who don't react the expected way. Such an unprecedented reversal was performed by none other than Executive Director, Min Hyun-seung. Although there was a rumor that he has a personality that's not easy to deal with, he didn't expect it to be like this.
"What if I say no?"
There was a slight wrinkle on Min's hard solemn head. "I have already contacted all of the best law firms in Korea who have experiences in custody cases. There are also other good options for a firm, so if necessary, I can have my assistant deliver the organized materials."
Junkyung bit his molars when he said he was going to fight a legal battle. Executive Director Min acted as though his words were not considered as a threat. He would even be kind enough to hand over the files of the law firm and the lawyers.
Junkyung is not in a particularly poor situation. In a shopping mall with no vacancy in the new city, a large franchise cafe runs on the first floor. Business is also pretty good. However, it was not enough to fight the chaebol. He hasn't finish paying all the loans he got when he bought the commercial property.
"Give me time to think."
"Of course."
As Junkyung got up, Hyun-seung held out a new phone. "My number is saved there. Contact me here."
As soon as Junkyung picked up the phone,the phone automatically unlocked and recognized his fingerprints. Seeing that his fingerprints were already registered, Junkyung's spine cooled.
"Then, I will see you soon. Jun-Kyung Ho."
Even after Hyun-Seung left, Junkyung stayed still. The time the other person give was not for Junkyung to consider his offer. The answer has already been decided. The other person knows it too.
What Hyunseung Min gave to Junkyung was the time to clear up his messy mind.
