Chapter 137: CARELESSNESS
GUNWOO woke up when he smelled something nice.
When he opened his eyes, he saw his dad sleeping on the chair while his cheek was pressed against the bed.
Plus, his dad was hugging the jacket with a nice scent.
Dad also smells nice, but something smells better outside...
He actually got confused a bit because the scent also smelled like his daddy.
Gunwoo has two daddies?
Right, Gunwoo should have two daddies because Jina had two daddies, too.
It’s Gunwoo’s second daddy!
"Dad, wake up," Gunwoo said while gently shaking his dad’s shoulder. "Gunwoo’s other daddy is outside."
But no matter how many times he shook his dad’s shoulder, he wouldn’t wake up.
He got worried because his other daddy’s scent was starting to disappear.
Gunwoo’s second daddy is leaving...
Scared of getting left behind, Gunwoo carefully climbed down the bed.
He almost tripped, but he didn’t cry.
Gunwoo is a big boy now.
And, so, he immediately ran towards the door.
Since he was a big boy now (he was taller than his bad classmate who bullied him after he lost in golf!), he was able to reach the door handle by standing on his toes.
Then he quickly opened the door.
Gunwoo’s nose was suddenly hit by a nice smell.
It smells like...
"Daddy?"
The two tall uncles walking in the hallway suddenly stopped and turned around.
But Gunwoo only focused on the uncle who smelled really good.
He’s handsome, just like Dad.
The uncle, who was handsome, tall, and smelled good, walked towards Gunwoo.
Gunwoo didn’t know why, but his heart was suddenly happy!
So, when the handsome and tall uncle squatted down in front of him, he just jumped and wrapped his arms around the stranger’s neck.
"You smell like my dad!"

SONG SIHYUK marched towards the child.
The closer he got to the little boy, the more he could smell his Omega father’s lingering pheromones on the boy.
That’s because Appa spent an entire day with this kid.
Song Sihyuk squatted down in front of the child, ready to start his interrogation.
But the kid suddenly threw himself at him.
Panicked, he quickly caught the little boy, who then wrapped his arms around his neck.
"You smell like my dad!"
What?
Song Sihyuk really didn’t understand, but he stood up while holding the child in his arms carefully.
For some reason, he felt something warm in his chest.
It was a feeling that he couldn’t describe.
I feel like I need to protect this child.
Was it because the kid was his potential half-brother?
Song Sihyuk found himself hugging the child closer to him.
Is it my chest that’s warm or this kid’s body?
"Vice Chairman Song, the child looks exactly like you when you were that age."
Jung Han and Song Sihyuk grew up together because Jung Han was raised to be his aide.
Hence, his secretary would know what he looked like as a kid.
"Of course, this child looks like me," Song Sihyuk said, scoffing. "This kid might be my half-sibling."
"Huh?"
"What kind of dumbfounded look is that, Jung Han?"
Jung Han blinked slowly as if he were confused. "Vice Chairman Song, did you really think Lee Wonjae-nim cheated on Chairman Song? Plus, Lee Wonjae-nim has never gone out of the family’s sight for more than a month. There’s no way Lee Wonjae-nim could have hidden his pregnancy."
Right.
To be fair, Song Sihyuk was never serious about thinking that his Omega father had cheated on his Alpha father.
He was just trying to make sense of things.
But his mind wasn’t working really well these days.
"Vice Chairman Song, you have an ex-husband."
Huh?
"You and your ex-husband separated five years ago," Jung Han said in a serious tone while looking at the kid whose face was now buried in Song Sihyuk’s chest. "And that child looks like he’s around four years old. I mean, he’s bigger than the average kid his age. But I don’t think he’s more than six years old."
Ah.
Song Sihyuk had already figured out what Jung Han was trying to say.
Hence, he suddenly felt nervous.
It was a strange feeling hearing his heart beating hard and fast against his chest.
I didn’t even feel nervous during my inauguration as SG Group’s new Vice Chairman.
"Vice Chairman Song, it’s possible that—"
"Shut up. I get it already," Song Sihyuk said, scoffing. And then he gently patted the kid’s back. "Hey, kid. What’s your name?"
Unfortunately, the kid only responded with a snore.
Hmm?
He fell asleep?
Tsk.
This kid has no survival instincts.
"Vice Chairman Song, the kid’s complexion doesn’t look good."
Oh.
Yeah, I even thought earlier that the kid’s body temperature is warmer than normal.
When Song Sihyuk touched the kid’s forehead, his eyes widened a bit when the realization hit him. "This kid is running a fever—"
"Song Sihyuk!"
Aigooya.
Song Sihyuk was surprised when someone boldly yelled his name.
And there was only one person who would do that.
"Appa, why are you yelling?"
Yes, his Omega father came back to the hospital— and he looked pretty horrified when he saw Song Sihyuk holding the kid in his arms.
***
IT SMELLS good.
Garam was already awake, but he was still too tired to open his eyes.
Honestly, this was the first time in a long while that he had gotten a decent sleep.
He hadn’t been able to sleep properly for the past few weeks. All because Song Sihyuk’s scent that lingered on the last shirt that Lee Wonjae sent him before had already disappeared.
Yes, I can only sleep properly with Sihyuk Hyung’s pheromones.
Fortunately, his Omega father-in-law delivered a new jacket to him.
Since Song Sihyuk had just worn the jacket recently, the Alpha’s pheromones lingered strongly on the fabric.
"Sihyuk Hyung..."
"Yeah?"
Hmm?
Garam immediately opened his eyes when he heard a familiar voice that he wouldn’t mistake for anyone else.
And when he finally lifted his head...
"So, you’re finally awake."
Garam, shocked, suddenly let out a hiccup.
Standing right in front of him was none other than Song Sihyuk himself.
He panicked for a moment, thinking that he had been kidnapped again.
But he calmed down when he realized that he was still in the hospital.
However...
"Gunwoo!" Garam immediately got up when he realized that Gunwoo wasn’t in the room. The only culprit he could think of was the bastard standing in front of him, observing him like a predator about to grab their prey. "Where’s my son—"
"That child is our son, isn’t he?" Song Sihyuk asked coldly. "How dare you hide my heir from me, Lim Garam?"
