How to Have a Baby Secretly-Chapter 28
“Mr. Sunwoo, come in!”
As Sunwoo stepped into the consultation room, Han Soojin greeted him warmly.
“Hello, doctor,” Sunwoo replied, bowing politely as he approached her desk.
“Did you rest well yesterday?”
“Yes, I did.”
“And meals? Have you eaten yet?”
“Ah… not yet,” Sunwoo admitted, realizing only now that it was already past noon. The chaos caused by Kang Jinwook barging into his home early in the morning had thrown off his entire schedule.
“In that case, let’s finish the checkup quickly, and then you should eat. So, what brings you here today?”
Han Soojin smiled gently, steering the conversation to the reason for his visit. Sunwoo hesitated for a moment before finally asking the question that had been bothering him.
“Um, doctor… is it possible for someone to become more sensitive to Alpha pheromones during pregnancy?”
“Hmm… that can happen. Have you experienced something like that recently?”
“Yes.”
“Whose pheromones was it?”
“Well…”
Sunwoo instinctively started to mention Kang Jinwook but stopped himself. Somehow, it didn’t feel right to bring up his name.
“Just someone I know,” he said vaguely.
Han Soojin nodded in understanding.
“I see. That makes sense. But as you know, I specialize in family medicine, not obstetrics or gynecology. While I’ve been managing your case, I’ve consulted with a trusted OB-GYN about pheromones and related issues. If you’re okay with it, I think it might be helpful for you to meet with them directly. What do you think?”
“Another doctor?” Sunwoo asked hesitantly.
Han Soojin nodded and elaborated further.
“The best option would be to transfer your case to obstetrics and gynecology entirely, as we can’t predict what might come up in the future. But I understand that might not be ideal for you. As an alternative, I can arrange a private consultation with an OB-GYN I trust.”
“Hm…”
“I’ll ensure your personal information remains strictly confidential. And as it happens, the doctor isn’t seeing patients today, so they’re available for a consultation. What do you think?”
After some thought, Sunwoo nodded. She was right—while Han Soojin had been an excellent doctor, her field wasn’t specialized enough to address everything related to his pregnancy.
At that moment, the door to the consultation room opened, and a strikingly beautiful woman stepped in.
“Dr. Han, you called for me?”
“Dr. Yoo Hyuna! Welcome!”
Dr. Yoo’s gaze swept from Han Soojin to Sunwoo, and she smiled warmly.
“I’m an Omega too,” she said with a hint of playfulness.
A delicate, sweet scent filled the room, reminiscent of spring blossoms.
“Can you smell it?”
“Ah, yes…” Sunwoo nodded, startled.
Dr. Yoo’s smile widened, her expression bright and refreshing, perfectly matching the soft fragrance that seemed to radiate from her.
“You probably don’t notice pheromones often, do you?”
“No… I’m recessive,” Sunwoo admitted, feeling a bit self-conscious.
“That makes sense,” Dr. Yoo said gently. “Recessive Omegas often can’t release or detect pheromones. But pregnancy can change that.”
Dr. Yoo leaned in slightly, as though to emphasize her point, and Sunwoo froze at her sudden closeness.
“Hmm… It’s faint, but you are releasing pheromones now,” she observed with a smile as she pulled back.
“Me? Really?”
“Yes. It’s very subtle, but it’s there. Normally, you wouldn’t notice it unless someone was this close,” she said, gesturing toward the slight proximity she had just demonstrated.
Sunwoo absentmindedly ran a hand over the back of his neck, then brought it to his nose and sniffed lightly. A faintly sweet and crisp scent, reminiscent of apples, lingered.
“It suits you,” Dr. Yoo said warmly. “Fresh and vibrant.”
“Ah, thank you…” Sunwoo replied awkwardly, still not fully comfortable with the idea of pheromones or being an Omega.
Sensing his unease, Dr. Yoo chuckled softly.
“Don’t worry. Just be mindful of your surroundings. If you notice any symptoms, step away from the area. And don’t stress—pregnancy won’t trigger a heat cycle, so that’s one less thing to worry about.”
“Okay…” Sunwoo nodded obediently.
“Most importantly, take care of your health. A healthy you means a healthy baby. Understand?”
“Yes, I will.”
“Have you thought of a nickname for the baby yet?”
“A nickname?”
Dr. Yoo’s unexpected question caught Sunwoo off guard, and he blinked in surprise.
“You haven’t thought of one yet? Pick a cute nickname. It’ll help you bond with the baby,” she encouraged.
“Oh… I’ll think about it,” Sunwoo said with a sheepish nod.
A nickname, huh… Sunwoo hadn’t even considered it.
“If you need anything else, don’t hesitate to reach out to me. I’ll make time for you even on my off days. Or you can pass a message through Dr. Han,” Dr. Yoo said reassuringly.
“Thank you,” Sunwoo replied, his tone tinged with gratitude.
“No need to thank me. It’s my job,” Dr. Yoo said with a smile. “I’ll contact you again once the test results are ready.”
“Okay.”

“Shall we get going then?”
After wrapping up the consultation, Sunwoo thanked both Dr. Yoo and Dr. Han before leaving the hospital.
Feeling noticeably lighter after the visit, Sunwoo headed to the taxi stand and took a cab straight to the airport.
Earlier, he had dismissed Kang Jinwook’s driver at the subway station before arriving at the hospital, not wanting Kang Jinwook to know he had gone there. The last thing he needed was for him to jump to conclusions about his health.
“It’s only natural for him to worry,” Sunwoo murmured with a wry smile.
Considering his fainting, claims of terminal illness, memory loss, and even a supposed stomach ulcer, it wasn’t surprising that Kang Jinwook saw him as a liar and a fraud.
After about an hour, the taxi pulled up at Gimpo Airport. Stepping out, Sunwoo headed inside, momentarily stunned by the bustling terminal.
“So, this is my first time at an airport…”
Though he had seen them in novels and movies, he had never been to one in person. Feeling slightly overwhelmed by the crowd and the vast space, Sunwoo spotted the information desk and made his way over.
With the staff’s help, he located the airline counter and successfully purchased a ticket to Jeju Island. Luckily, there was a seat available on a flight departing in thirty minutes.
Soon, Sunwoo boarded the plane and gazed out the small window. The view from the sky captivated him—rolling mountains, winding rivers, sprawling cities, and intricate roadways stretched below like a living map.
“Amazing…”
Sunwoo stared out the window, his thoughts drifting.
His decision to take a week to “think things over” wasn’t just about whether or not to stay with Kang Jinwook for a month. It was a cover for his real plan: finding a place to settle permanently on Jeju Island.
He had already scouted potential homes online, contacted agents, and prepared thoroughly. This trip was about taking the next step.
As these thoughts swirled in his mind, Sunwoo reached into his pocket and pulled out the ultrasound photo he had received at the hospital.
Holding it up, he marveled at the tiny life growing inside him.
“A nickname, huh…”
The doctor’s suggestion came to mind again, but nothing felt quite right yet.
Putting the thought aside for now, Sunwoo disembarked at Jeju Airport and took another cab to the address his agent had sent.
The drive lasted about an hour, ending at a property near the coast. Stepping out, Sunwoo retrieved his suitcase from the trunk and looked around.
Before him stretched a pristine, emerald sea, its gentle waves sparkling under the afternoon sun.
“Wow… This is incredible,” he murmured, awestruck by the beauty.
After soaking in the view, he turned toward a nearby building—the real estate office he was headed to.
Pushing open the door, Sunwoo was greeted by an agent who adjusted their glasses and smiled.
“Welcome! How can I help you?”
“Hi, I’m Choi Sunwoo. I called yesterday about visiting properties.”
“Ah, Mr. Choi! Of course, I remember. My apologies—I almost forgot!”
The agent lit up, quickly standing to greet him.
“Come on in. Have a seat over here,” they said, gesturing to a sofa.
Sunwoo placed his suitcase upright and sat down.
“Did you have a good trip?” the agent asked, their tone warm and friendly.
“Yes, it went well,” Sunwoo replied with a polite smile.
“That’s great to hear. Can I get you a coffee or some water?”
“Water, please.”
“Of course. One moment,” the agent said, disappearing briefly before returning with a glass of water.
Taking a sip, Sunwoo looked out at the stunning ocean view visible from the office window.
“If you don’t have a place to stay yet, I can recommend a great hotel nearby with a sea view,” the agent offered.
Sunwoo hesitated but eventually shook his head.
“No, thank you. I’ll decide after I’ve seen the properties.”
“Understood. Feel free to leave your luggage here—it’ll be safe.”
“Thank you.”
With his suitcase securely stored, Sunwoo followed the agent outside to begin his search for a new home.
