Chapter 130: AMNESIAC ALPHA
WHEN SONG Sihyuk woke up, he was confused as hell.
He remembered being twenty-five and kicked out of the house for his temper.
And, as far as he knew, he was supposed to be working in a shabby loan shark office.
It’s no secret that chaebol families have a connection to the ’underworld,’ and our family is no different.
The loan shark who owned that office went on a vacation, so his Alpha father thought it was the perfect opportunity to send them there. After all, the loan shark’s job was to scare their debtors.
Abeoji thought I should lash out at those poor people, that I should use that opportunity to have an outlet for my anger management problem.
But his memories ended there.
Hence, he was shocked by what his Alpha said to him.
"You’re in your thirties now, you’re married, and you’re about to be a father," his Alpha father said bluntly. "I’m telling you now so you won’t get shocked later."
Aigooya.
"Abeoji, I’m not a doctor, but I’m pretty sure you shouldn’t be attacking me with shocking facts as soon as I woke up," Song Sihyuk complained lightly. "I haven’t even digested the fact that I lost my memories."
"Well, I know how strong your mental fortitude is. You’ll get over this pretty soon."
"Abeoji, I’m not sure if I should be glad or concerned that you have too much faith in me."
"Just don’t think too much if it gives you a headache."
Song Sihyuk let out a sigh. "Did I marry Cho Dongpyo?"
"Why would you think you had married him?"
"Well, he may not be a chaebol. But Hanmi Chem is a pretty lucrative business. I can see myself marrying him to expand our business."
"You robbed the cradle, son."
"Excuse me?"
"You married an eighteen-year-old when you were twenty-five."
"What?"
"The kid is an idol, and he’s a male Omega."
Song Sihyuk wasn’t surprised that he married a male Omega because he always had a preference for them, but...
"I married an idol? For what? SG Group doesn’t have an entertainment company as a subsidiary. We don’t need that."
Song Sihyuk, despite having many ambitious cousins, was raised as the next heir of SG Group after his father.
So, if he were going to get married, he’d choose someone who could cement his status.
But I married a kid? And an idol, at that?
Could it be...
"Did I fall in love with that kid or something?" Song Sihyuk asked, and then he frowned. "But I can’t imagine myself falling in love, especially with someone who can’t help me expand SG Group."
"You didn’t fall in love."
It wasn’t his Alpha father who answered this time— it was his Omega father who had just entered the room while holding paper bags full of delicious-smelling food.
"Honey."
"Don’t talk to me. I’m still mad at you," his Omega father said to his Alpha father before placing the paper bags on the table. "Go and set the table."
"Yes, honey."
Pfft.
Song Sihyuk almost laughed when his Alpha father quickly headed towards the mini dining hall of the VIP Room, and started unpacking the food that his Omega father brought.
He didn’t know why his parents were fighting, but...
Abeoji is really no match against Appa.
"Sihyuk-ah, you didn’t fall in love," his Omega father said as soon as he sat down on the chair next to Song Sihyuk’s bed. "The person you married is the person from the prophecy. Remember when our shaman said you have to marry an Omega who can give you a son? You found that person, married him, and now you’re about to be a father."
Oh, now that made sense.
There’s no way I married a kid who couldn’t even help me with the business for nothing.
So, it was only because of that stupid prophecy.
"Grandfather must be so happy, then."
"Yes, your grandfather is so happy that he’s promoting you as Vice Chairman of the company by next year."
Song Sihyuk’s eyes widened, obviously shocked. "For real, Appa?"
"Yes," his Omega father confirmed. "But you have to get well as soon as possible. How can you be promoted if you’ve lost your memories?"
"I’ll recover quickly. I’m an Alpha, after all— a dominant one, at that," Song Sihyuk said confidently. And then he paused for a moment. "Appa, now that my husband has fulfilled his role, can I divorce him?"
His Alpha father almost dropped the container in his hands as if he were shocked.
Song Sihyuk wanted to ask if his Alpha father was alright, but he got distracted when his Omega father asked him a question.
"Son, why do you want to divorce your husband?"
"Why not?" Song Sihyuk asked, confused by his Omega father’s question. "Being married to an idol won’t help me grow SG Group the way I want it to grow, Appa. I need a partner who can help me achieve my goal, especially now that I’m about to be the Vice Chairman."
Aside from greedy cousins, he also had greedy uncles and aunts.
They’ll probably use the fact that I’m ’sick’ right now to attack me, so I have to get better before any of them can steal my promotion.
"Alright," his Omega father said while nodding. "Go and divorce your husband then."
Song Sihyuk wanted to ask why his Omega father seemed to be eager about it, but he got distracted again when they heard a knock on the door.
And then Seong Kyungmin, his good friend, entered the room.
"I apologize for interrupting your family time," Seong Kyungmin said while raising a chart in his hand. "I have some urgent news to share with you."

"CONGRATULATIONS, Song Sihyuk-ssi. Your pheromone level has reached the amount we need to officially declare you as a Hyper-Dominant Alpha."
Oh.
That was great news.
Song Sihyuk was pleased, and so were his parents.
But, honestly, he wasn’t surprised.
I’m too great to be a normal Dominant Alpha.
"Then please keep this a secret," his Alpha father said. "Kyungmin-ah, we trust you."
"A Dominant Alpha’s pheromones are already in demand in the black market," his Omega father said while shaking his head. "The people who run that business will go crazy if they hear that Hyper-Dominant Alphas are real. Even if my son is a chaebol, they won’t care."
"I understand, Uncles," Seong Kyungmin answered politely. "Don’t worry— I already made sure that Song Sihyuk’s result is confidential."
Aigooya.
These people are being overprotective.
Song Sihyuk was about to ask Seong Kyungmin a question, but he was taken aback when his friend shot him a cold glance.
Why is this dude mad at me?

"APPA, can I see my husband now?"
"Go ahead," Lee Wonjae said casually. "Lim Garam is just next door."
"Then I’ll go ahead."
After saying that, Song Sihyuk immediately left the room.
Yes, Lee Wonjae’s son could walk and move on his own now as if he hadn’t fallen into a coma for a few days.
An Alpha’s fast recovery is really amusing.
No wonder most Betas saw Alphas as gods among men.
"Honey, is this really okay?" Song Seokju, his Alpha husband, asked when only the two of them were left in the room. "You made it seem like Song Sihyuk wasn’t in love with Lim Garam so he would file for divorce, right?"
"Our son and our poor son-in-law have a toxic relationship, and Lim Garam wants to end it now. This is the perfect opportunity to do it."
"But our Sihyuk will recover his memories soon," Seon Seokju said worriedly. "He’s a Hyper-Dominant Alpha now— his ability to recover fast has surely improved."
"Don’t worry about that," Lee Wonjae said. "We already have a plan."
Of course, it was a plan that only Lee Wonjae and Mija knew about.
