Married For Now-Chapter 199: ON THE ROCKS

"SOHEE-SSI, your pheromone level is back to normal. You mentioned that you stayed with Heedo-ssi in the same bed recently. Does it include..."

Aigoo.

Sohee blushed, embarrassed, even though he knew that Dr. Seong Kyungmin was only being professional.

I’ll never get used to sharing my sex life with my doctor.

Thankfully, his mother-in-law stepped out of the room after getting a call from his father-in-law.

"Yes, Dr. Seong," Sohee said, hoping that the doctor didn’t notice him blushing. "We did something, but we didn’t go all the way."

"I see," Dr. Seong Kyungmin said indifferently. "Sohee-ssi, you are imprinted with Heedo-ssi. The safest way to keep your pheromone level balanced is to stay with your husband. I wouldn’t recommend taking supplements since your pregnancy is sensitive. But, of course, only if you’re comfortable. This method won’t be effective if you’ll only get stressed out."

To be fair, after doing that with Kim Heedo, Sohee actually felt better.

He was able to sleep for hours after that.

The stress part only came after he witnessed Kim Heedo getting violent.

Which reminds me...

"I’m not sure I want to be around Kim Heedo when he’s showing signs of violence, Dr. Seong," Sohee said worriedly. "I trust Kim Heedo, and I know he’ll never lay a finger on me. He has never acted violently towards me in the past. But since I’m pregnant with two lives in my womb, I don’t want to risk it. I want to prioritize my babies."

"I agree with your decision, Sohee-ssi. We’ll find another safe method to keep your pheromone level balanced."

"Dr. Seong, Heedo isn’t a violent person. He did get jealous in the past, but he never became violent because of it."

Sohee wasn’t saying that Kim Heedo wasn’t capable of violence.

After all, he had already seen his husband beat up people.

But those people deserve it. This time, though, Ahn Yujae didn’t deserve to be punched. The Kim Heedo I know and love wouldn’t do that.

"I feel like Heedo wasn’t himself earlier, Dr. Seong."

"You’re right, Sohee-ssi," Dr. Seong Kyungmin confirmed while nodding. "Actually, Heedo-ssi’s burst of violence was caused by rut suppressants. We recently increased the dosage. I warned him that he might get mood swings because of it, but he still insisted on taking them."

Oh.

I knew Heedo wasn’t acting like his usual self...

"Dr. Seong, please don’t let Kim Heedo take another suppressant. And please don’t increase the dosage again."

"I won’t do that after what happened today, Sohee-ssi. However, Heedo-ssi’s rut is coming soon."

Sohee cleared his throat. "I’ll help him..."

"I wouldn’t recommend it, Sohee-ssi," Dr. Seong Kyungmin said while shaking his head firmly. "You’re pregnant— and you’re pregnant with twins. Of course, pregnant people can still have sex. Unfortunately, for your case, it isn’t safe. It will be your first time having sex after he fully manifested as a Hyper-Dominant Alpha, so we don’t know how aggressive he will be."

Oh.

The doctor was right.

"Don’t risk it, Sohee-ssi."

"But how about Kim Heedo, Dr. Seong?" Sohee asked worriedly. "His rut is coming. I don’t want his body to be filled with rut suppressants. It’s not good for him."

"As I said earlier, I’ll find another safe way to help Heedo-ssi. Please trust me, Sohee-ssi."

Seeing how determined the doctor was, his heart was finally put at ease.

Sohee was about to thank Dr. Seong Kyungmin, but he abruptly stopped when the door opened.

And then Kim Heedo entered the room, looking all disheveled.

"Sohee Hyung..."

Oh?

Sohee already noticed that there was something different from the way Kim Heedo looked at him.

Especially the way he called him.

It’s warmer than usual.

Just like how Kim Heedo would call him in the past...

... oh?

Could it be...?

"Hyung, I’m so sorry," Kim Heedo said in a cracked voice, getting on his knees beside the bed, holding Sohee’s hand as tears rolled down his cheeks like waterfalls. "I’m so sorry for forgetting you and our babies for a moment."

Ah.

Sohee’s hunch was right.

Kim Heedo had already recovered his memories.

"I’m so sorry for all the stupid things I’ve done when I lost my memories," Kim Heedo said between sobs, looking up at Sohee while crying nonstop. "And I’m so sorry for risking my life for someone I don’t care about. I can’t believe I almost left you and our babies because I acted like a hero for a person who wasn’t you. Sohee Hyung, I’m so sorry for hurting you— for disappointing you, for letting you suffer alone while you’re pregnant with twins."

Oh.

It seemed like Kim Heedo’s memories while he had amnesia were also retained.

Sohee was relieved.

He was relieved that Kim Heedo remembered everything, and that Kim Heedo also didn’t forget how he treated him while he had amnesia.

"You jerk..." Sohee said in a cracked voice. "How could you do all of that to me?"

Kim Heedo cried harder. "I know, Hyung. I know. I understand if you hate me now, but please give me a chance to make it up to you."

"You should also beg for our babies’ forgiveness."

"Yes, Hyung." Kim Heedo closed his eyes and gently hugged Park Sohee’s baby bump. "I’m sorry for hurting your Daddy Sohee, babies. Our little golden geese, your daddy is back— I’ll make sure your other daddy will never get hurt again."

Aigoo.

Sohee wanted to scold Kim Heedo more, but he couldn’t do anything but cry while listening to his husband apologize to him and their babies again and again.

***

KIM HEEDO was forced to leave Park Sohee’s room after Seong Kyungmin said he needed to talk to him.

But, thankfully, his mother didn’t return to work, so Park Sohee wouldn’t be alone.

Appa had to return to his office, so Eomma decided to stay with Sohee Hyung.

"Heedo-ssi, let’s not use rut suppressants anymore."

That was the first thing that Seong Kyungmin said after they arrived in his office.

"Hyung, I need those," Heedo insisted, almost pleading. "My rut is coming. I can’t depend on Sohee Hyung."

Even if his relationship with Park Sohee wasn’t on the rocks at the moment, he wouldn’t ask his pregnant husband to sleep with him during his rut.

Since he fully manifested as a Hyper-Dominant Alpha, he felt his strength doubled.

And he was afraid he might lose control.

After all, it’s been a while since Sohee Hyung and I had sex.

"I know that," Seong Kyungmin said. "That’s why I have a recommendation for you."

Oh, of course.

Kyungmin Hyung won’t ask me to stop taking suppressants if he has no other solution.

"What do I have to do, Hyung?"

"Physical labor," Seong Kyungmin said bluntly. "I need you to get a heavy manual work so you’ll have a new outlet."

Heedo knitted his eyebrows. "But I have never worked before..."

***

AS SOON as Sohee opened his eyes, he craved for two things.

First, his husband.

Second...

"I want ripe mangoes."

"Let’s ask your doctors first if you can eat ripe mangoes, Hyung. It’s still early in the morning. I don’t want you to upset your stomach."

Oh.

"It’s already morning?" Sohee asked, a bit surprised. "I remember having an early dinner with Mother-in-law last night."

No wonder Kim Heedo looked fresh now in his new set of clothes.

And I’m still in a patient’s pajamas.

"Kim Heedo, I wasn’t dreaming last night, right?" Sohee asked, slightly nervous. "You’ve remembered everything, right?"

"Yes, Hyung," Kim Heedo said softly while nodding. "I already remember everything."

Haaah.

Finally.

Sohee was about to let out a sigh of relief, but his husband said something that made him feel stunned.

"Hyung, I got a job."

"Huh?"

"I can’t stay with you for the entire day, but you can call me anytime. And don’t hesitate to call me if you’re craving something," Kim Heedo said, and it was clear that he was forcing himself to be cheerful. "I got a job at a moving company, but I’ll still make time for you."

What?

Moving company?

"When you said you got a job, I thought you meant you’d be starting your successor training at Ilsung Group," Sohee said, knitting his eyebrows because he was seriously feeling confused. "There’s nothing wrong with a blue-collar job, but why are you working in a moving company when you don’t have work experience yet?"

Kim Heedo avoided Sohee’s gaze, his cheeks turning red as if he were embarrassed. "To control my libido, Hyung." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Wait, what?

But we haven’t totally made up yet, so he should be showering me with love and attention first!
