How to Have a Baby Secretly-Chapter 53
Bam!
With a loud noise, Kang Jinwook’s head snapped forward. In an instant, a murderous intent flared in his eyes. Kang Jinwook turned around to check who had attacked the back of his head.
At the same time, his gaze changed. He had realized that it was Sunwoo who had hit him.
“Choi, Sunwoo?”
Sunwoo, who had been staggered and was barely standing after being grabbed by Kang Jinwook, raised his head when he heard his name.
Fortunately, the murderous intent in Kang Jinwook’s face seemed to fade, which was a relief. Honestly, Sunwoo had never seen that crazed look before, so he hadn't known.
Sunwoo glanced at the thugs lying unconscious in a pool of blood next to him. Seeing that... he thought to himself, This guy’s really gone off the deep end.
He’d been too reckless with this kid before. From now on, I need to be more careful.
Sunwoo swallowed nervously and asked, “How did you end up here?”
He was pretty sure Kang Jinwook wasn’t in Seoul earlier when they spoke. Now, it seemed like he'd teleported or something, appearing right in front of him.
Even though he was still being held by Kang Jinwook, Sunwoo couldn’t quite believe it.
Am I dreaming?
Kang Jinwook didn’t answer Sunwoo’s question but quickly scanned his entire body. Thankfully, there didn’t seem to be any serious injuries.
“Why are you doing something so reckless…? Don’t ever put yourself in danger like that again.”
If Kang Jinwook hadn’t realized it was Sunwoo, the next target after the thugs lying on the floor would have been Sunwoo himself.
Not sure whether Sunwoo understood the danger he was in, he kept glancing between the bloodied thugs and Kang Jinwook, looking thoroughly confused and sighing at the situation.
“And you. What the hell are you doing here? You said you were just going to say hello and leave?”
“Oh, I was going to do that… Ah! Wait a minute!”
Sunwoo, who was answering Kang Jinwook’s question, suddenly remembered Im Haewon and shook off Kang Jinwook’s hold before running off.
Im Haewon was now lying on the ground, gasping for air. Her body was trembling, and her condition seemed to have worsened.
What do I do now? I have to move her.
Turning his head to seek help, Sunwoo met Kang Jinwook’s cold glare.
What’s with that look?
Kang Jinwook was glaring at him like he was ready to kill him at any moment. From his eyes, Sunwoo didn’t think he was insane, but he was definitely very, very angry.
“What’s wrong?” Sunwoo asked.
“What’s that?” Kang Jinwook shot back.
“What?”
“I thought you were meeting Kim Tae-yeol, but you were with an Omega?”
“What are you talking about…”
Sunwoo stared at Kang Jinwook in disbelief at his strange words. Then, he quickly realized what Kang Jinwook must have misunderstood, and his expression became even more incredulous.
“That’s not it! What kind of ridiculous misunderstanding is that!”
Kang Jinwook was currently misunderstanding Sunwoo’s relationship with Im Haewon. How did he even come to such a crazy conclusion?
“When an Omega enters their heat cycle and meets in a hotel, what am I supposed to think?”
Kang Jinwook still spoke with a tone that seemed like he was about to kill someone.
“Ah, come on! That’s not it!”
You crazy bastard! Sunwoo bit back the words with all his might. No matter how crazed Kang Jinwook was, he couldn’t bring himself to say those words out loud.
Besides, there was still the matter of the thugs lying on the floor, still out cold, behind Kang Jinwook.
And more importantly, I’m not a Beta, I’m an Omega! So, what other Omegas do during their heat cycles shouldn’t concern me!
But of course, he couldn’t say that either. Kang Jinwook didn’t know that Sunwoo was an Omega, after all.
Huff, huff.
Meanwhile, Im Haewon’s condition continued to deteriorate. The sound of her harsh breathing and her body trembling showed that her condition had worsened.
Sunwoo, too, was at a loss. He had read about the traits of Omegas before, but it was the first time he had seen an Omega in the middle of their heat cycle so vividly.
I hope I don’t end up like this too...
He knew that an Omega in their heat cycle or an Alpha with their rut could be as animalistic as beasts. That was the atmosphere that the Omega-verse had been created for, after all.
But seeing Im Haewon, who had always been calm and gentle, acting like this... Sunwoo was shocked.
“Anyway, if we leave her like this, it’s dangerous. Please help!”
Even at Sunwoo’s plea, Kang Jinwook only frowned and didn’t approach.
Why is he looking at me like that?
Sunwoo also gave him a displeased look. Just then, Im Haewon released an even stronger burst of pheromones and let out an indecent moan.
“Huuk… Hah…”
Sunwoo looked at the now crimson-faced Im Haewon in panic, his gaze automatically shifting to Kang Jinwook.
“Take her.”
Kang Jinwook easily snatched Im Haewon from Sunwoo, who was stumbling and uncertain. Sunwoo glanced at his empty hands, then at Kang Jinwook, who was holding Im Haewon like a sack of potatoes.
This was what Sunwoo had wanted in the first place, but now that Kang Jinwook was carrying Im Haewon, he didn’t feel all that good about it.

Then, something passed through his mind.
Wait a minute... this scene...!
This was exactly the scene from the original story. What was unfolding in front of Sunwoo now was almost exactly what happened at the beginning of the story, a scene that the author had crafted to draw the readers' attention before the launch.
Sunwoo had even discussed ideas with the author about it, so he had been paying close attention to this particular scene. He’d completely forgotten about it until just now.
In fact, the next part was also in the prologue. After saving Im Haewon, Kang Jinwook would take her to a hotel and spend a hot, steamy night with her...
“Argh!”
As Sunwoo recalled the passionate and sticky scene from the prologue, he slapped both hands against his cheeks and screamed.
“What’s wrong?”
Kang Jinwook stared at Sunwoo, who suddenly screamed after staring blankly at him, his face wrinkling with confusion.
“Oh, no, no. I mean, wait! Give her to me. I’ll move her.”
Sunwoo quickly shook his head and extended his arms, trying to erase the strange thoughts that had suddenly crossed his mind.
Earlier, he had been too dazed to stop Kang Jinwook from taking Im Haewon, but now he thought it would be safer to move her himself. After all, it was dangerous to keep an Omega in their heat cycle around an Alpha.
It was better for him to move her somewhere else.
“Secretary Gwak.”
As if reading Sunwoo’s thoughts, Kang Jinwook called for Secretary Gwak. The assistant, who had been ordering the guards to remove the thugs, quickly approached.
“Yes, Director.”
Secretary Gwak shot Sunwoo an apologetic look, but Sunwoo still couldn’t hide his dissatisfaction. He was still upset about how Secretary Gwak had ignored his request to stop Kang Jinwook from beating people earlier.
Secretary Gwak awkwardly smiled and quickly took Im Haewon from Kang Jinwook.
“I’ll take her to a room and call a doctor.”
Kang Jinwook didn’t even nod at Secretary Gwak’s words. His attention was still entirely on Sunwoo.
“Choi Sunwoo.”
Sunwoo, who had been looking at Im Haewon anxiously, turned his head toward Kang Jinwook.
“Ah, thanks.”
He expressed his gratitude to Kang Jinwook for helping to resolve the situation. However, Kang Jinwook frowned, seemingly not pleased by the thanks.
What’s this? I thank him, and now he looks mad again?
Sunwoo muttered inwardly and sighed heavily. The dangerous situation had passed, but he was more concerned about Im Haewon now and felt the need to follow her.
“Haewon!”
Just then, he heard Kim Tae-yeol’s shocked voice. Kim Tae-yeol stopped when he was about to approach Im Haewon, who was now in Secretary Gwak’s arms. His expression turned blank, and his gaze became strangely blurry.
As time passed, Im Haewon’s condition worsened, and the pheromones from the dominant Omega grew stronger.
Even Kang Jinwook, an extreme Alpha, paused as the powerful Omega pheromones began to fill the air. It was surprising that Kim Tae-yeol, an Alpha with a lower dominant status, didn’t rush toward her.
“Secretary Gwak, take her quickly. I’ll clean up here.”
Kang Jinwook, noticing Kim Tae-yeol’s change in behavior, immediately gave an order. The guards blocked Kim Tae-yeol, and Secretary Gwak hurriedly started walking with Im Haewon in his arms.
“Ugh, ugh…”
Kim Tae-yeol, like a beast entranced by prey, tried to move toward her, but the guards stopped him.
“What’s wrong with him?”
“His scent is overwhelming.”
Sunwoo murmured, and Kang Jinwook added coldly.
Then, the thick, deep scent of a forest surrounded them, heavy and oppressive.
Ever since Kim Tae-yeol appeared, Kang Jinwook had been looking at him with displeasure. The fact that he lived with Sunwoo immediately came to mind.
And so, Kang Jinwook’s pheromones, filled with discomfort and anger, became even more violent and intense than usual.
“Ugh!”
Kim Tae-yeol, a Beta, trembled uncontrollably and collapsed, overwhelmed by the dominant Alpha’s pheromones. His reaction was different from Im Haewon’s.
The Beta guards, too, stiffened slightly, bracing their bodies against the overwhelming atmosphere.
Sunwoo felt his head spinning as the pheromones, which now filled the air, surrounded him. His vision blurred, and he put his hand to his forehead.
“Ah…”
Suddenly, everything went black, and dizziness washed over him. His body wavered.
“Choi Sunwoo!”
At that moment, Sunwoo felt a firm hand on his shoulder as his body collapsed. He leaned into it, losing consciousness in Kang Jinwook’s arms.
Kang Jinwook, with a shocked expression, looked down at the unconscious Sunwoo in his arms. Realizing the situation, he quickly pulled back his pheromones.
“Choi Sunwoo, Sunwoo…”
He stroked Sunwoo’s cheek and gently combed his hair, calling his name, but there was no response. Kang Jinwook immediately picked Sunwoo up in his arms.
In his vision, the trembling Kim Tae-yeol, overcome by Sunwoo’s pheromones, disappeared from view. All that mattered to him now was Sunwoo.
Just then, a subtle scent, one he hadn’t noticed before, brushed against Kang Jinwook’s nose. It was fresh and sweet, lightly tingling on his tongue.
It was the pheromones of an Omega, the same scent that had captivated him months ago when a dominant Alpha like him had fallen for it so easily.
Kang Jinwook’s face froze in an instant.
