How to Have a Baby Secretly-Chapter 60

But despite all that, why would he keep showing up to work and linger around Kang Jinwook’s side if he didn’t like him?

Kang Jinwook continued to stare at the confused Sunwoo with interest. No matter how many times he looked, it still fascinated him.

The Sunwoo sitting in front of him didn’t seem like the Sunwoo he had known. Kang Jinwook had known Sunwoo for a long time, except for a few years when they were apart.

Especially when Sunwoo was younger, his emotional fluctuations and strong likes and dislikes were always obvious on his face.

So, seeing the face he had seen so often, now so drastically different because of memory loss, made Kang Jinwook feel a strange emotion.

Above all, there was no longer any sign of disdain or casual behavior in the way Sunwoo looked at him.

Of course, since Sunwoo had changed a lot since his middle school years, some of that old attitude had faded. But it hadn’t completely disappeared, so seeing this new Sunwoo felt unfamiliar to Kang Jinwook.

"Why are you so surprised? I thought you were trying to quit, making excuses every time I caught you."

"You knew that, so why were you so persistent?"

Kang Jinwook seemed ready to answer immediately but just furrowed his brows instead, not saying anything.

What was this? He had been talking so well until just now, but now he was silent.

Sunwoo pouted and spoke first.

"Well, you said you’d take responsibility. Was that because of your mom?"

"So, you were desperately trying to run away, hiding the fact that you're an Omega and pregnant?"

Kang Jinwook spoke sharply, and Sunwoo glared at him. He had been wondering why Kang Jinwook hadn’t said anything until now.

"What does that have to do with you?"

Sunwoo’s response was just as defiant. At the same time, Kang Jinwook’s eyebrows twitched. What, if you’re upset, what does it matter?

Sunwoo raised his chin as if to show he wouldn’t back down. He didn’t realize it, but this gesture looked more cute than intimidating.

And Kang Jinwook didn’t notice that the dark emotions that had built up inside him were beginning to dissipate.

Kang Jinwook’s eyebrows, which had been raised in irritation, slowly lowered.

"Why wouldn’t it matter? You’re my fiancée. That changes the conditions, doesn’t it?"

Ah, right. Sunwoo, now realizing this, let out a low gasp. Now that he thought about it, this was indeed the problem.

It wasn’t just the fact that he was pregnant; the bigger issue was that he had hidden the fact that he was an Omega.

No, what was really the bigger problem?

It felt like the age-old debate: which came first, the chicken or the egg?

'Wait, what am I even thinking.'

This wasn’t the issue right now. The real question was how to solve this situation.

Honestly, things weren’t looking great. The best option Sunwoo could think of was to break up with Kang Jinwook without revealing the fact that he was an Omega and pregnant.

Ideally, they would live far, far away, never crossing paths again.

But instead of running away, Sunwoo had taken a plane to Jeju, and now Kang Jinwook had followed him here. Worse yet, not only was his pregnancy exposed, but so was his Omega status.

'Still, it's fortunate in some way.'

Kang Jinwook still didn’t know who the father of the baby was. So, perhaps, Sunwoo could use that as an excuse to break up.

"Yeah, I guess so. Sorry, I didn’t think this would happen since I was careless with my body."

Sunwoo intentionally inserted sharpness into his words, throwing them at Kang Jinwook. Kang Jinwook glared at him, his brows furrowing tightly. With his jet-black eyes staring directly at him, Sunwoo felt a wave of tension course through his body.

After all, Kang Jinwook was an Alpha, at the top of the food chain. It wasn’t surprising that Sunwoo would feel nervous when looked at like that.

Even though Kang Jinwook wasn’t releasing any pheromones, just his intense gaze was enough.

Still, Sunwoo tried to hold his ground, focusing all his strength on his eyes.

"Is that the only way you can speak? Is that how you say it?"

Kang Jinwook, on the other hand, didn’t seem happy with the derogatory words Sunwoo had spoken. Sunwoo found it absurd and funny.

The "carelessly using his body" comment was something Kang Jinwook had said first.

"What, why? It’s the truth, isn’t it? Oh, of course, you don’t remember who it is, but whatever. It doesn’t matter, does it? You did roll around in bed, so..."

"Hah... Choi Sunwoo."

"Why, Kang Jinwook? Don’t you get it yet? This isn’t just about changing the terms of our contract. Our relationship is over."

"Over?"

"Don’t look at me like you don’t understand. It’s obvious. Do you think Chairman Kang would be happy about an Omega carrying a child whose father he doesn’t even know in his house? Isn’t that right?"

At Sunwoo’s words, Kang Jinwook furrowed his brows again. It was true, after all.

But Kang Jinwook was so consumed by the fact that Sunwoo was carrying a child from some unknown man that he had completely disregarded the obvious implications.

"Hah...!"

Kang Jinwook sighed deeply, looking up at the air, then lowered his face and stared at Sunwoo again.

"So, let’s settle this now, Choi Sunwoo. Let’s end this neatly, just between us."

Sunwoo spoke as though he were wrapping up the situation. That was the obvious thing to do.

The fiancée of the future heir to a giant conglomerate, Taesung Group, carrying a child whose father she didn’t even know would only lead to scandal.

It would be better to cleanly end this now and break up.

Kang Jinwook looked at Sunwoo with darkened eyes. He recalled that time three years ago when Sunwoo had openly shown his dislike and stood in front of him.

Then he remembered recent events. The calm, emotionless Sunwoo who had stood before him.

Finally, Kang Jinwook spoke.

"Not yet."

"What?"

Sunwoo looked up at Kang Jinwook in confusion, not understanding what he meant. Wasn’t the answer already clear?

"There’s no time to drag this out. You must’ve understood the situation when you went to the hospital. It’s already been 8 weeks. Soon your belly will start to show, and it will be harder to hide."

Kang Jinwook’s eyebrows twitched in displeasure again. Sunwoo kept talking, observing him.

"Honestly, I’m amazed that you’re even hesitating. I thought the moment you found out, you’d just say, ‘Get away from me,’ right away."

That’s how Sunwoo had always seen Kang Jinwook. Or maybe he thought Kang Jinwook would get furious, saying, "How dare you deceive me?" and just cut him off.

This was the Kang Jinwook Sunwoo had known from the original story.

Of course, the real-life Kang Jinwook was a little different.

Kang Jinwook looked at Sunwoo, meeting his gaze, and for a moment, he felt his chest tighten.

Since the beginning, there was something Sunwoo didn’t understand.

From the very first time they met, Kang Jinwook had been drawn to him. It wasn’t just a simple fondness—it had grown into affection.

That rainy winter day, when Kang Jinwook had tried to confess his feelings for the last time, but they parted without even seeing each other’s face.

That feeling had lingered in Kang Jinwook’s heart like sediment for years.

And now, he was shaken again by the recent changes in Sunwoo’s gaze and expression.

"Yeah. If you want it that way, I’ll do it. But, Choi Sunwoo."

After a long pause, Kang Jinwook spoke. Sunwoo’s face relaxed a little at the thought that maybe this was finally the end of his long and exhausting relationship with Kang Jinwook.

At last, he would be able to stay alone here and live with his baby!

Sunwoo’s eyes began to sparkle with a faint sense of joy, and Kang Jinwook stared quietly at him.

Finally, Kang Jinwook spoke again.

"If we do that, it’s going to cause a problem with the contract you made with Chairman Kang. Are you sure about that?"

"Huh?"

Sunwoo didn’t immediately understand what Kang Jinwook meant and asked, confused.

"Contract? With Chairman Kang and me?"

"You really have memory loss, don’t you? When you came to me, you signed a contract with Chairman Kang."

From what Kim Tae-yeol had told him, it seemed like it was with Vice Chairman Kang Jintaek, not exactly with Chairman Kang.

‘So we really did sign a contract...’

The real issue was how Kang Jinwook spoke as if he already knew about the contract.

Wait, so does that mean everyone around me knew about the contract but I was the only one who didn’t?

Sunwoo, feeling a moment of panic, stammered, "Uh, uh..."

Seeing this, Kang Jinwook sighed, then pulled something else out from his jacket. Unlike the crumpled paper he had pulled out earlier, this was neatly packed in a white envelope.

Kang Jinwook placed the envelope on the table and slid it toward Sunwoo.

The word "Contract" was boldly written on the envelope.
