Married For Now-Chapter 200: GETTING THERE

"SOHEE HYUNG, I bought the cheesecake that you want. I hope you’re still craving them."

Wow.

"You’re worrying for nothing," Sohee said, almost drooling while Kim Heedo was taking out three whole cheesecakes from their cute little boxes. "You bought all the available flavors in the store?"

"Yes, Hyung," Kim Heedo said, sitting across from him. "Aside from the original flavor, I also got you their New York and Japanese cheesecake."

They all looked good.

Fortunately, Sohee was well enough to get up because he was so fed up of lying down on the bed.

He was still in the hospital for some additional tests, though.

At least, he was sitting at the table for two in the lounge area of the VIP room.

"Thank you, Heedo-ya," Sohee said after Kim Heedo put one slice of each cheesecake on his plate. "And thank you for getting the cheesecake again for me."

Kim Heedo left the hospital earlier to buy cheesecake again since he dropped the ones he bought earlier when he punched Ahn Yujae.

Of course, his husband could have just ordered it or asked his subordinates.

But Heedo personally returned to the café to apologize to the owner for the scene he caused earlier.

"You’re welcome, Hyung," Kim Heedo said, pausing for a moment. "Hyung, can I get Ahn Yujae-ssi’s contact number?"

"It depends on why you want it."

"I’d like to apologize to Ahn Yujae-ssi for punching him... twice."

Sohee was relieved to hear that.

I’m glad Heedo is completely back to his senses.

"Let me call Ahn Yujae first since I can’t just give you his number without his permission," Sohee said. "And I’m not even sure if it’s still his number."

"Oh. You’re not in touch with him even if you’re living under the same roof?"

"We don’t have a reason to talk via messages."

Kim Heedo looked relieved. "I see."

Aigoo.

It’s so obvious that he’s happy Ahn Yujae and I aren’t in constant communication.

"Heedo-ya."

"Yes, Hyung."

"I hope this is the last time you’ll act violently unprovoked," Sohee said carefully. "I understand why you had to be violent when you dealt with the people who hurt me. But I can name a few instances where you chose violence even when you could have avoided it."

Kim Heedo flinched, but he didn’t say anything.

"Do you remember when you smashed the faces of those poor high school students when we met at the convenience store before?"

It happened during their "reunion" after Sohee turned down Chairman Kim Hyungsik’s offer to marry Kim Heedo before.

There were students in the convenience store who said lewd stuff about Lee Junsu.

Kim Heedo heard them, and then he smashed the kids’ faces on the wall.

"I remember that, Hyung," Kim Heedo said meekly. "You called the police on me then..."

"And I would have called the police as well if I didn’t faint after seeing you punch Ahn Yujae in the face— twice," Sohee said sternly. "Ahn Yujae is also an Alpha, so we’re lucky he didn’t fight back. It would have turned into a brawl if Ahn Yujae threw a punch, too."

Well, maybe Ahn Yujae would have fought back if Sohee hadn’t fainted.

So, it’s a blessing in disguise that I fainted when I did.

"Heedo-ya, I understand that Alphas have the tendency to be violent when they’re angry. And using rut suppressants also affects your mood in a negative way. Even so, I’d like it if something like this never happens again," Sohee said carefully, sighing. "Let’s not resort to violence if we can avoid it. Please. I don’t want our babies to have a violent father like I did."

Upon the mention of Sohee’s biological father, Kim Heedo’s face suddenly became filled with guilt.

At least he recognizes his mistake.

"I’ll never resort to violence again as long as you and our babies aren’t in danger, Sohee Hyung," Kim Heedo said as if he were compromising with Sohee. "But I promise I won’t use my fist if I don’t have to. And, of course, I swear on my life that I will never lay a hand on Hyung and our babies."

"Of course, you can’t," Sohee said firmly. "If you even so much as lay a finger on me and our babies, I’ll kill you."

"Yes, Hyung. I understand."

Whew.

It looked like that was enough scolding.

Kim Heedo doesn’t enjoy violence. There are really some things that he can’t completely control as an Alpha— especially since a Hyper-Dominant one. But I trust him.

"Can I expect you to keep your promise, Heedo-ya?"

"Yes, Hyung," Kim Heedo said eagerly while nodding firmly. "I promise I won’t do things you hate anymore."

Sohee rolled his eyes. "You say that, but you got a job without consulting me first."

"Oh. I’m sorry about that, Hyung. It was what Kyungmin Hyung suggested. And since I’m on leave of absence at school anyway, I thought this was the perfect time to get a job." Kim Heedo lowered his head. "I’m sorry, Hyung. But I want you to know that even if I have a job now, I’ll still make time for Hyung and our babies."

"Of course, you should. You have to make it up to us."

Kim Heedo’s face lit up. "So, Hyung, does it mean I’m allowed to stay with you?"

"I can’t work anymore since my doctors advised me to rest completely from now on, so there’s no reason for me to stay at Garam Hyung’s villa."

"Then does it mean you’re going back to my parents’ house, Hyung?"

Oh, right.

We were staying at my in-laws’ house before all this chaos.

But, this time...

"Dr. Seong said that my pheromone level returns to normal when I’m with you," Sohee said. And, yes, he was using that as an excuse because he was too embarrassed to admit that he wanted to be with Kim Heedo again. After all, his husband hadn’t redeemed himself completely yet. "So, I’d like it if we lived in the same house again."

"I’d love to, Hyung," Kim Heedo said, his face beaming. "Then, should we return to our old apartment?"

"Can I act like a spoiled brat?"

"Of course, Hyung."

"I want a new house, Heedo-ya," Sohee said, slightly embarrassed. He knew that his husband was super rich. But a house, in this economy, wasn’t a small thing. Especially since he didn’t want just any house. "A big one. I don’t want an apartment or a penthouse."

Kim Heedo owned a few penthouses, so Sohee considered choosing one.

But a penthouse wasn’t what he envisioned when he thought about their babies.

"I want a big house with a big yard, and I want a koi pond there," Sohee said. "And it would be nice if the house is near our in-laws. I want to be able to visit them as often as possible. After all, I want our children to grow close to your family."

"Our family," Kim Heedo corrected him softly. "My family is your family, Hyung."

Aww.

Sohee suddenly burst out crying when he realized that he finally had the thing that he didn’t have before.

I now have a family that loves and supports me.

And the best part?

My children will grow up in a big and warm household.

"Hyung, can I hug you?" Kim Heedo asked in a cracked voice. It seemed like his husband got emotional while watching Sohee cry. "It looks like you need one."

Sohee just nodded, and then he got up from his seat.

Then he walked towards Kim Heedo and sat on his husband’s lap.

"It’s okay, you can cry, Hyung," Kim Heedo said while securing Sohee on his lap, and then he rubbed his back gently. "I’m here."

Sohee just nodded, burying his face against Kim Heedo’s chest.

Our babies, I’ll make sure to give you a happy childhood— and a family that will give you plenty of warm memories.

"YUJAE-SSI, I’m sorry," Kim Heedo said sincerely, bowing his head towards the older Alpha. "You can punch me thrice— I won’t fight back."

"No, it’s fine. Your apology is enough."

Heedo lifted his head.

Ahn Yujae had a calm look on his face while stirring his latte.

Heedo invited the older Alpha for coffee, but at the same time, he didn’t really want to be somewhere far from Park Sohee.

Hence, the two of them ended up meeting in the café across the hospital.

Anyway, Ahn Yujae’s face was a mess.

I would have accepted it if Ahn Yujae-ssi sued me...

"Of course, I’m not okay after getting punched twice," Ahn Yujae said calmly. "But as a fellow Alpha, I understand why you suddenly exploded in jealousy. Alphas naturally get more protective when their Omega is pregnant, after all."

Heedo clenched his hands tightly.

He was grateful that Ahn Yujae was a good person. But, at the same time, he felt insecure because Park Sohee’s ex-lover was better than him.

I need to work harder to be the best man for Sohee Hyung.

"Heedo-ssi, your pheromones... are you going to punch me again?"

Oh.

Ahn Yujae was joking, but Heedo could tell that the older Alpha had become alert.

Hence, he quickly stopped his pheromones from leaking.

"Heedo-ssi, I know that Alphas are naturally jealous beasts," Ahn Yujae said carefully. "But I promise you that I no longer have romantic feelings for Sohee. As someone who witnessed him suffer in the past, I just want to cheer on him. That’s it." He paused for a moment. "But, even if I still have feelings for Sohee, I’d definitely give up. After all, I can see that Sohee is very much in love with you, Heedo-ssi."’

Hearing that made Heedo’s heart swell with happiness.

So, people can see that Sohee Hyung is in love with me.

Those words were music to his ears.

Moreover...

I realize that I’m also jealous of Yujae-ssi for being so adult-like— so unlike me.

"Yujae-ssi, can you help me?" Heedo asked politely. "I want to be as mature as you quickly."
