How to Have a Baby Secretly-Chapter 65

‘It’s okay, right? It’s not a big deal.’

Sunwoo tried to reassure himself as he gently rubbed his stomach. Just doing that made him feel a little better.

He had set a book aside to kill time, but the phone rang again. This time, it wasn’t a notification, but a call.

The caller was none other than Kang Jinwook. He had probably arrived in Jeju.

“Uh, yeah.”

I’m almost there.

“Really?”

The words “almost there” didn’t sound like he had arrived in Jeju yet. Sunwoo asked for clarification, and Kang Jinwook said he was near his house.

“Huh!”

Sunwoo, who had been sitting sideways on the sofa, jumped up at those words. The book in his hand fell to the floor in a haphazard manner, but he didn’t even notice.

He hurried to open the front door but stopped halfway before even stepping outside. There was a tall figure standing in the yard, just as the evening had begun to fall.

It was Kang Jinwook.

“Kang Jinwook.”

When Sunwoo called out, Kang Jinwook, who had been standing still, suddenly started moving, as if he had been waiting. He took just a few steps, and before Sunwoo knew it, Kang Jinwook was right in front of him.

Whether it was because the sun had set or because Kang Jinwook was so close, Sunwoo suddenly became aware of a strong, earthy scent.

How had he never noticed it before?

Once he became aware of it, it was a scent that was impossible not to notice, even if he just stood still. Sunwoo quietly stood still, sensing the pheromones swirling around him.

His heart raced wildly, but strangely, he felt a sense of calmness spreading through him. He had been so tense earlier, unable to even read a book, but now he had completely forgotten about that anxiety.

“...”

Now that he thought about it, he had called out Kang Jinwook’s name, but hadn’t received a response. Both Sunwoo and Kang Jinwook just stood there, staring at each other.

It felt like they should say something, but Sunwoo couldn’t bring himself to speak.

“We haven’t had dinner yet, right?”

Kang Jinwook, though he had rushed over, noticed that it was already past 8 p.m. He still thought Sunwoo hadn’t eaten yet.

There was also an unspoken message in his words, hinting that they should have dinner first before talking. Kang Jinwook nodded without saying much.

Why was he being so quiet?

Sunwoo found Kang Jinwook’s silence oddly unsettling. However, he couldn’t ask why he was acting this way, so he turned to leave. But then he noticed the lunch box in Kang Jinwook’s hand.

“Oh, that...”

Kang Jinwook’s eyes followed Sunwoo’s gaze to the lunch box, and for a moment, there was another brief silence between them.

“Come inside. Let’s eat inside.”

Again, it was Sunwoo who spoke first. He hurriedly entered the house and immediately saw the book he had dropped on the floor. He quickly picked it up.

He glanced around the room, but everything looked neat since he had already tidied up. Meanwhile, Kang Jinwook had removed his shoes, placed the lunch box on the living room table, and was carefully hanging his jacket over the armrest of the sofa.

Sunwoo, watching him, tried to act nonchalantly as he unwrapped the lunch box.

“Wow…”

The lunch was substantial as always. It was the kind of food that was healthy yet still delicious, making Sunwoo’s hunger hit him all at once.

“Thanks again.”

Sunwoo went to the kitchen to get utensils and water, then placed them in front of Kang Jinwook and thanked him. Kang Jinwook just nodded, silently urging him to eat.

“I’ll eat well.”

“Mm.”

Only after saying that did Sunwoo finally hear Kang Jinwook’s voice. Sunwoo stared at him grumpily but picked up his chopsticks.

The meal was really good. The problem, however, was that Kang Jinwook, who had brought the lunch, barely touched it. Instead, he kept watching Sunwoo eat.

“Not eating?”

Around halfway through his meal, Sunwoo couldn’t help but ask. He whispered to himself, almost as if to tease.

“Why did you send me the hallabong?”

When he asked about the meal, the answer was unexpected.

“Huh? Hallabong?”

For a moment, Sunwoo didn’t understand Kang Jinwook’s words and gave him a puzzled look as he held his chopsticks.

“You sent two boxes of hallabong to the secretary’s office.”

“Ah! That? It arrived today?”

Sunwoo finally understood what Kang Jinwook was referring to and nodded. It seemed like it had arrived as expected, around two or three days later.

“It’s nothing special. I’ve been causing you trouble, and there have been other things, so I thought I should send it as a thank you.”

Sunwoo spoke in a calm tone while picking up his salad. He didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, but saying it aloud felt a little embarrassing, especially knowing Kang Jinwook had noticed.

Because he averted his gaze, Sunwoo didn’t notice the look in Kang Jinwook’s eyes.

“Anyway, that’s why. Hey, hurry up and eat.”

“I’m eating.”

Sunwoo looked up from his bowl. He noticed Kang Jinwook was frowning in a way that didn’t quite suit him.

What was with that expression? He didn’t seem to fit the mood... Wait, maybe...

‘He looks cute.’

Sunwoo couldn’t help but think it, feeling a little dumbfounded.

“I’m eating. You’ve hardly touched anything. You’ve only played with your chopsticks about five times, haven’t you?”

Half of the food in the lunch box was already gone. But the only things Kang Jinwook had touched were the vegetable salad and potato salad.

“You counted all of that?”

“Huh?”

“Well, no, not really counted. It’s just... you know,” Sunwoo mumbled, realizing it wasn’t quite the right way to put it.

He couldn’t bring himself to explain, especially with the strange look Kang Jinwook was giving him.

What’s going on? Why is he looking at me like that?

Sunwoo, feeling embarrassed, told Kang Jinwook to hurry up and eat while focusing on his own meal. As a result, the remaining food disappeared faster than before.

Clink.

As Sunwoo set his chopsticks down after finishing his meal, he finally met Kang Jinwook’s gaze, who had been watching him all along. He threw out the words he had been preparing.

“Alright, now tell me. What’s the condition you want?”

The brightly lit living room sofa was now home to a man holding an envelope. The man, casually resting his legs, opened the envelope and took out several photos captured by a high-performance camera.

The man nonchalantly flipped through the photos, but then his eyes suddenly brightened.

“Oh.”

He continued flipping through the photos, and by the third one, a smile spread across his face.

“What’s this? Did you set up a place in Jeju?”

The photos fell to the floor. They showed Kang Jinwook getting out of a car, walking towards a small single-story house, with Sunwoo in the background, and then a scene of the two of them eating together in the yard.

“Park, do you have any idea what they were talking about?”

“Sorry, Vice President. The distance was too far, and we couldn’t record the audio.”

“Tch. Useless!”

The man, Kang Jin-tae, clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, and Park quickly lowered his head. Then, he pushed forward another envelope he had prepared.

“Vice President, please take a look at this as well.”

Kang Jin-tae’s eyes shifted to the new envelope Park was holding.

“What’s this?”

“It’s from yesterday.”

Kang Jin-tae didn’t need to ask who it was about. His eyes lit up again as he snatched the envelope from Park’s hand.

“Oh.”

The first photo showed a group of people fighting in the hotel park. More specifically, it showed Kang Jinwook kicking something on the ground.

In the background were guards, Secretary Kwak, and Sunwoo kneeling on the ground, with someone lying next to him.

“What’s going on here?”

Kang Jin-tae asked with a curious glint in his eyes.

“Apparently, an Omega in heat got into a conflict with a group of aggressive Alphas. Kang Jinwook happened to arrive at the hotel and resolved the situation.”

“An Omega?”

Kang Jin-tae didn’t care much for the details but was immediately intrigued by the mention of an Omega. His eyes focused on a picture of Sunwoo being helped up by Kang Jinwook.

“Yes. It’s Im Haewon, from the overseas division at Taesung Construction.”

“Is that so?”

So Sunwoo had turned out to be an Omega? Kang Jin-tae clicked his tongue, realizing that Sunwoo, almost thirty, hadn’t shown any signs of it until now.

The photos ended with Kang Jinwook bringing Sunwoo home and then heading to the airport. Looking at the timestamps, it seemed like he hadn’t stayed long.

“You chased him all the way to Jeju and came back right away?”

“No, it seems he instructed Secretary Kwak to take care of Im Haewon, the Omega with him.”

“To Secretary Kwak?”

Secretary Kwak was one of Kang Jinwook’s closest aides. If he had given him such a separate order...

“Wait, you said Omega?”

“Yes. We found out that the Omega is dominant.”

“Dominant Omega?”

Kang Jin-tae’s eyes gleamed again. There had been a dominant Omega around Kang Jinwook? He picked up one of the photos that had fallen to the floor.

The photo showed an Omega lying unconscious on the ground, with Secretary Kwak attempting to lift him up.

“Get more details and bring it to me.”

Kang Jin-tae pointed at the fallen Omega in the photo.

“Yes, Vice President.”

“Bring it to my desk in two hours.”

“Understood.”

Park quickly bowed and answered, and Kang Jin-tae dropped the photo to the floor again.

His eyes gleamed with malicious intent.
