Married For Now-Chapter 66: A CRUEL REQUEST

SOHEE was relieved to see that his mild confession wasn’t immediately rejected.

To be fair, he knew Kim Heedo would not turn him down anyway.

I wouldn’t have confessed that I have a big crush on Kim Heedo if I didn’t notice that he’s also a bit attracted to me.

He wasn’t that stupid to confess to a person who didn’t see him as a potential partner.

Sohee’s feelings for Kim Heedo weren’t that deep yet to call it love, while Kim Heedo was only physically attracted to Sohee at this point.

Isn’t this the perfect time for us to nurture our feelings for each other?

If only Kim Heedo would finally let go of Lee Junsu.

Oh, speaking of that person...

"Heedo-ya, Lee Junsu-ssi is just next door, isn’t he?"

Kim Heedo flinched as if he was nervous. "Yes, Hyung. Why did you ask?"

"Actually, we exchanged phones to fool his hater," Sohee explained, flinching when he remembered what happened to Lee Junsu’s phone. "But I broke Lee Junsu’s phone after I jumped out of the van. I’d like to apologize to him and offer compensation for his phone."

Of course, he knew that a famous idol like Lee Junsu could replace his phone with his own money.

But it’s still my responsibility to compensate for something I broke.

"I can handle that for you, Hyung," Kim Heedo offered. "You still need to rest."

"Nah, I’m totally fine now," Sohee said, getting up. "Let’s go."

"Should I carry you there, Hyung?"

"I can walk, thank you very much. Why are you being a worrywart, Kim Heedo? I’m older than you."

"What does age have to do with this, Hyung? You’re hurt, and you look fragile."

"That’s it— I’ll go to the gym and bulk up."

To be honest, Sohee expected Kim Heedo to stop him from bulking up since most people thought it was unattractive for an Omega to be bulky.

They treat Omegas like women just because most Omegas look feminine.

Sohee was pretty, thanks to his soft features.

But he was taller than avergae Omegas, and he was pretty toned whereas most Omegas were pretty thin.

It’s just that I look lean next to a muscular Alpha like Kim Heedo.

"Good thinking, Hyung," Kim Heedo said while nodding. "You should start going to the gym and build your stamina."

"Really?" Sohee asked, surprised. "I heard some Alphas don’t like when their Omegas grow some muscles."

"I don’t care about other Alphas’ preferences. You shouldn’t, too, Hyung. After all, whether you bulk up or not, I think you’d still look pretty."

Sohee may or may not have blushed. "Oh, I see."

"And you seriously need to increase your stamina," Kim Heedo said, his eyes somehow sparkling with mischief. "I’d like it if you stop fainting on me during sex, Hyung."

Pfft.

Sohee, to hide his embarrassment, resorted to mild violence by throwing a pillow at Kim Heedo. "Yah!"

Kim Heedo caught the pillow effortlessly, laughing. "I’ll get you a personal trainer, Hyung."

OH, DEAR. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

When Sohee came to Lee Junsu’s room, he expected to see his manager or his bandmates.

But there was one person that he failed to consider.

"Hello. My name is Sanha. It’s nice to meet you."

Right.

It was Antiheroes’ Sanha— a famous idol, and also Lee Junsu’s boyfriend.

He’s so freaking handsome.

Sohee had seen so many handsome Alphas in his life since, as an Omega, Alphas would often hit on him.

And he could say that Sanha was just as handsome as those Alphas despite being a Beta.

Moreover, it’s rare for a man in his mid-twenties to look good with dyed hair— and Sanha-ssi pulled off purple hair color well.

"Hello," Sohee said, greeting the idol back. "I’m Park Sohee."

He thought he would have to introduce his husband on his behalf, but Kim Heedo introduced himself properly.

"I’m Kim Heedo."

Sanha smiled and nodded, then he focused on Sohee. "Sohee-ssi, thank you for helping our Junsu."

"Oh, it’s nothing," Sohee said casually. "And please speak comfortably, Sanha-ssi. You’re a year older than me, aren’t you?"

"If that’s what you want, Sohee-ya. You can just call me ’hyung,’ then," Sanha said. "Let me just get you drinks. I’m on my way to buy coffee for our Junsu anyway."

Ah, that was just probably an excuse to leave.

"No, we’re fine," Kim Heedo said, placing a hand on the small of Sohee’s back. "Thank you for the offer, but we won’t be here for long."

Sohee raised an eyebrow, but he didn’t say anything.

I did tell Kim Heedo he was free to use me as a rebound, after all.

"I see," Sanha said, still smiling kindly. "Then I’ll go ahead."

Sanha then left the room quietly.

Now it was only Sohee, Kim Heedo, and Lee Junsu were left there.

Oh, dear.

The silence was suffocating.

As soon as Sohee thought of that...

"I’m sorry, Sohee-ssi," Lee Junsu, who was sitting on the bed while leaning against the headboard, said— his face and voice both showed remorse. "Had I known you would have been in danger, I wouldn’t have asked for your help. I’m really sorry about what happened to you for helping me."

"No, it’s alright, Junsu-ssi. It was my decision to help you," Sohee said while shaking his head. "I also have something to apologize for." He then handed Lee Junsu his broken phone. "I’m sorry about breaking your phone, Junsu-ssi. Please send me the bill once you get a new one."

He wanted to offer to buy Lee Junsu a new phone, but the idol might want to upgrade his old phone to the newest model.

Hence, he just offered to pay for whatever phone Lee Junsu would end up buying.

"You don’t have to pay for my new phone, Sohee-ssi," Lee Junsu said after accepting his broken phone. Then he handed Sohee his phone back to him. "I should be the one offering to pay for your hospital bills."

"Ah, my mother-in-law already took care of that," Sohee said while shaking his head. "But let me pay for whatever phone you end up buying, Junsu-ssi. I insist."

"Since an older person is insisting, then I have no choice but to do as you say," Lee Junsu said, giving in. "I’ll give you my bank account, Sohee-ssi."

Sohee nodded, and then he really saved the bank account that Lee Junsu shared with him.

"I still feel bad that you got hurt because of me, Sohee-ssi," Lee Junsu said, giving Sohee his puppy dog eyes. "Please tell me what I can do to make it up to you."

Aigoo.

Lee Junsu is so pretty that even an Omega like me finds him attractive.

No wonder Kim Heedo found it hard to move on from Lee Junsu.

"Are you really willing to do anything and everything, Junsu-ssi?"

"As long as it’s within my power and it’s not immoral, sure."

"Ah, don’t worry. My wish is simple," Sohee said, smiling. "Junsu-ssi, I hope this is the last time we’ll get involved with each other’s business."

Lee Junsu looked shocked by what Sohee said.

Even without turning my head, I could tell Kim Heedo was looking at me with a shocked look on his face.

But Sohee continued speaking his mind.

"I know that you know my marriage with Kim Heedo is just a contract marriage. But I just confessed that I have a big crush on this big baby," Sohee said, pointing at Kim Heedo. "That’s why I’m going to be selfish this time and force him to move on from you. So, I’d like it if we completely lose contact after I paid for your phone. But don’t get me wrong. I know that you’re not coming on to Kim Heedo, and I know that it wasn’t your fault that your ex-friend and hater almost killed me."

Lee Junsu flinched, but he couldn’t deny anything.

"It’s also not your fault that Kim Heedo still has feelings for you, so please don’t think that I’m trying to blame anything on you," Sohee said bluntly. "Let’s just actively avoid each other from now on. Not because I want you to stay away from Kim Heedo, but because I don’t want someone connected to you to end up hurting me again. You see, just recently, I started to believe a certain shaman. I’m sorry to say this, but the people who have hurt me recently are all connected to you, Junsu-ssi. That’s why I want to avoid you as much as possible. Again, I’m not blaming you for it. I’m just trying to be extra careful."

There, Sohee finally said it.

I hope Kim Heedo picks up the fact that the people around Lee Junsu are suspicious.

"I understand what you’re trying to say, Sohee-ssi," Lee Junsu said, and then he turned to Kim Heedo. "Is this alright with you, Heedo-ya?"

Huh?

Why would this kid ask for Kim Heedo’s opinion? I thought Lee Junsu wanted Kim Heedo to stop clinging to him?

Haaah.

Now Sohee was too afraid to look at Kim Heedo and his reaction.

Maybe Heedo hates me now because of my request.
