How to Have a Baby Secretly-Chapter 51

Something’s… off.

"Ah…"

Just then, Im Haewon sighed softly, and with that, the pheromones wafted out more strongly, like a flower blooming fully.

Her gaze became even more vacant. Could she be drunk? Sunwoo tilted his head as he stepped closer to Im Haewon.

"Are you okay?"

"Ah, yeah. I’m fine… No, I think I’m a bit drunk."

It seemed so. She definitely didn’t seem to be in a good state.

Earlier, she had been drinking with Kim Tae-yeol and Park Seongsoo, so it wasn’t surprising. If the drink wasn’t strong, she should have refused more politely.

"Mm, yeah. I’m sorry. I wasn’t feeling well all of a sudden."

Im Haewon shook her head as if trying to clear her mind. But her motion only made her look even more dizzy, and she quickly frowned.

If she wasn’t feeling well, she definitely should have avoided drinking.

"It seems like you need to rest. Im Haewon, where’s your room? I’ll take you there."

Sunwoo gently patted her shoulder and asked. The amount of pheromones flooding out wasn’t small. She looked like she couldn’t control herself anymore, and he thought it was better for her to rest.

Fortunately, since he was also an Omega, Sunwoo was relieved. If an Alpha with heightened sensitivity had encountered this, it would have been disastrous.

"I should at least say goodbye…"

In the midst of all this, Im Haewon was still concerned about manners. She seemed like she could barely walk, so there was no need to worry about such things right now.

"It’s better if you just go."

"Still…"

Even though she was drunk and dazed, Im Haewon stubbornly insisted on saying goodbye. Normally, he knew Main Alphas were calm and gentle, but maybe being drunk made her more headstrong.

"Alright."

It seemed like arguing would just waste time. Sunwoo helped Im Haewon stand up and sit on the stairs. She seemed to have lost all her strength and leaned her head against the wall.

If he left her like this, it seemed she would fall asleep completely.

"Stay here for now. I’ll go and tell everyone. I’ll be back soon."

Fortunately, Im Haewon didn’t insist on leaving, likely too tipsy to even care. Sunwoo felt a little uneasy but decided it was okay to leave for a short while.

I’m sure it’ll be fine, right?

He hurriedly walked away.

"Sunwoo! You’re finally here? Why are you so late?"

As soon as Sunwoo returned to the drinking table, Kim Tae-yeol spotted him and waved with a smile.

"I’m going to head out now. I’ll take Im Haewon with me on the way."

"Eh? Haewon’s leaving too?"

Kim Tae-yeol, who had been pouring more alcohol into Park Seongsoo’s glass, quickly turned his head with a puzzled expression. He then tilted his head, as if he had sensed something, because he had caught a faint trace of Omega pheromones. It was so subtle that Park Seongsoo and the Beta-like Sunwoo probably couldn’t sense it.

"Yeah. She said she was tired and needed to leave early. She looked really exhausted, so I’m going to take her back."

After Sunwoo spoke, Kim Tae-yeol immediately lost interest in the pheromone and focused more on the fact that Im Haewon was leaving.

Even though Kim Tae-yeol knew that Sunwoo was an Omega, he hadn’t realized that Sunwoo had never released pheromones before, so he hadn’t paid much attention to it.

"Ah, then hold on a sec. I’ll go with you."

Hearing Sunwoo, Kim Tae-yeol seemed ready to get up and follow.

"No, you stay here. I’ll take her back."

Sunwoo quickly stopped him.

"What’s the point of that? She’s my friend too. I’ll go with you."

That was true. When you’re in the early stages of pregnancy, they say you shouldn’t lift heavy things. It would be a bit much for Sunwoo to handle Im Haewon alone, especially since she was drunk.

After thinking for a moment, Sunwoo nodded as if saying it was fine for Kim Tae-yeol to come along.

"Eh? Sunwoo, you’re leaving?"

Park Seongsoo, who had been gulping down his drink, slammed his empty glass down and asked.

"Yeah. I’m tired, so I’m going to head out first."

"Really? You seem weaker than I thought. Alright, when you’re feeling better, let’s have a drink next time."

Park Seongsoo threw one last snide remark. Sunwoo didn’t bother replying and simply nodded before turning around.

Kim Tae-yeol, following behind, also seemed to notice the stronger pheromone scent than before and tilted his head in confusion. But Sunwoo ignored him, walking quickly to the emergency stairwell where he had left Im Haewon.

When they finally reached the spot, Im Haewon was nowhere to be found. This distracted Kim Tae-yeol from focusing on the pheromone Sunwoo was releasing.

"Where’s Haewon?"

Kim Tae-yeol asked with a confused look.

"Huh? Yeah, she should be here."

Sunwoo also looked around, but Im Haewon was nowhere in sight. She couldn’t have gone anywhere else. Where could she have gone?

"Do you think she got really drunk?"

Kim Tae-yeol asked with a worried expression. Sunwoo nodded, having purposely downplayed her condition earlier to avoid making her seem too embarrassed.

But now that she was missing, it seemed like he needed to tell the truth.

"Yeah. I think she did."

"This is bad…"

Kim Tae-yeol clicked his tongue, sounding troubled. Seeing his reaction, Sunwoo hurriedly asked.

"Why?"

"When she gets drunk, she has a strong instinct to return home."

"Return home…?"

"Yeah."

Home? They were in Jeju, though. Does that mean she’s heading back to her room? Sunwoo furrowed his brow at the thought, and Kim Tae-yeol, thinking the same thing, quickly said they should go look for her.

Now, Sunwoo found himself searching for both Kim Tae-yeol and Im Haewon.

The first place they went to was the room where Im Haewon was staying.

There were two Omegas among their colleagues who had come on the trip, so there was another person in the room besides Im Haewon.

"Haewon? No? She hasn’t come back yet."

Unfortunately, Im Haewon had not returned to her room. When asked by the Omega colleague where she was, Kim Tae-yeol casually responded that she seemed to be drunk.

"Isn’t she just passed out somewhere? Go find her. If you can’t, call me."

When the Omega colleague said this, Sunwoo learned that Im Haewon often got into this situation after drinking.

"Alright. Stay here."

Kim Tae-yeol sent the colleague back into the room and turned to Sunwoo.

"She might have gone outside to sober up. Let’s check downstairs."

"Okay."

The two of them took the elevator down to the lobby floor. They searched through the lounge, cafe, and other spots but couldn’t find Im Haewon. They then went outside the hotel and looked around, but still nothing.

"There’s a park behind. Let’s go check there."

Kim Tae-yeol headed for a door leading to the back of the hotel, and Sunwoo followed right behind. The park was large, and although it was late at night, fortunately, the street lights along the trees were fully on.

They scoured the well-maintained park, looking everywhere, but there was still no sign of Im Haewon.

There were people sitting on the grass or benches, but none of them seemed to be her.

"Ah, where did she go?"

Kim Tae-yeol, looking frustrated, kept pressing his phone. He must have been trying to call Im Haewon, but unfortunately, the call wasn’t going through. At this point, it seemed like they couldn’t find her on their own.

"Try asking other people to help too."

"Let’s look a bit longer. Haewon doesn’t like causing trouble for others."

Sunwoo nodded in acknowledgment. He then suddenly recalled a similar situation from the original story.

‘Ah, Jeju!’

Now that he thought about it, it had also been in Jeju. In the original, the Main Omega wasn’t traveling with colleagues but with friends.

Then, during an early heat cycle, something unpleasant happened, and it was Kang Jinwook who had helped during that time.

‘Wait… then…’

Sunwoo furrowed his brow as he thought back to the pheromones he had sensed earlier, which were stronger than before. What he had initially thought was just drunkenness now seemed more likely to be a sign of a heat cycle.

The situation seemed to be matching up with the original story’s events.

"We need to find her quickly."

An Omega in heat is dangerous. In the original, the Main Omega had been in a similar situation, realizing the truth too late and rushing back to their room to try and take inhibitors, only to run into trouble.

"Yeah?"

"Im Haewon. She’s really drunk. This isn’t good. Give me her contact information. You should contact the colleague who stayed in her room."

If Im Haewon was really in a heat cycle, it wouldn’t be safe for Kim Tae-yeol to stay around. If a recessive Alpha like him caught her scent, he might react unpredictably.

It would be much wiser to seek help from the Omega colleague who had stayed in the room earlier.

"Why? It would be quicker if I find her."

"Just trust me for now."

Kim Tae-yeol hesitated for a moment but soon agreed.
