How to Have a Baby Secretly-Chapter 75

His heart was wildly beating. Sunwoo couldn’t easily define what emotion this was.

He subtly turned his head again to look forward. Kang Jinwook, the one who had embarrassed him, was watching the news with an expression of complete nonchalance.

[ A waste disposal company representative is reportedly under investigation for allegedly providing illegal political funds to candidate A during the last election.

According to one report, a former member of the campaign staff revealed to a journalist that the company’s representative had given cash and bank transfers totaling between 10 million and 30 million won to candidate A three times as "sponsorship funds." ]

Sunwoo lost interest in the political story, which had no bearing on him. From Kang Jinwook’s uninterested expression, it seemed he wasn’t particularly concerned either.

“Should I change the channel?”

“Do whatever you want.”

Kang Jinwook answered without hesitation. Sunwoo took the remote control and pressed a button. He flipped through channels and ended up on a family drama that was airing, fitting for the time.

Though he wasn’t really interested, it seemed like something he and Kang Jinwook could watch without issue.

...But, it turned out the show was a lot more dramatic than he expected.

The plot was about siblings fighting over their father’s inheritance, but of course, both brothers liked the same Omega, which was only making their already strained relationship spiral toward disaster.

What caught Sunwoo’s attention was how the situation seemed eerily similar to the dynamic between Kang Jinwook and his older brother, Kang Jin-tae.

A younger brother, a dominant Alpha with superior genetics, envied by the older brother, who, unable to overcome his jealousy, also coveted the Omega the younger brother loved.

The drama ended just before the older brother, who had sent someone to kidnap the Omega in heat to a vacation home, was about to be caught by the younger brother who had come to the rescue.

Would the next episode show the brothers fighting it out while the Omega tries to stop them? But isn’t it dangerous for an Omega to be in heat like that?

So how does it play out between the two Alphas?

“Ah...!”

As Sunwoo thought about how things would unfold next, he suddenly remembered the events that happened in Jeju. The mention of an Omega in heat in the show brought Im Haewon to mind.

What had happened between Kang Jinwook and Im Haewon afterward? Could that have been the start of something between the two of them? It made sense, after all.

In this world, the protagonists were Kang Jinwook and Im Haewon.

That thought made Sunwoo’s stomach suddenly ache, and he rubbed it lightly.

“Hey, I wanted to ask...”

“Hmm?”

Sunwoo, who had been deep in thought for a while, finally spoke up. Kang Jinwook immediately turned his head, and their eyes met. Sunwoo hesitated, unsure whether to speak.

He wondered if asking about this might cause unnecessary misunderstandings. But since he had started, should he ask anyway?

“How’s Im Haewon?”

The moment Sunwoo asked the question, Kang Jinwook furrowed his brow. His reaction made it clear that he wasn’t happy, and Sunwoo immediately regretted bringing it up.

“I heard you were looking after him in Jeju. I’ve had a lot going on since then and forgot, but it just popped into my mind.”

Truthfully, that wasn’t the question Sunwoo had intended to ask. Still, Kang Jinwook’s frown didn’t fade.

“Did you take care of it?”

Fortunately, Kang Jinwook’s answer wasn’t harsh. He seemed indifferent about Im Haewon. Sunwoo felt a sense of relief, though he couldn’t help but feel foolish for thinking about it.

A quiet silence filled the room as several broadcasts passed by. It was already after 10 PM, and Sunwoo’s eyelids were starting to grow heavy.

Actually, Sunwoo had been nodding off for a while, trying to stay awake without Kang Jinwook noticing. Every time his head drooped, he would quickly lift it up, and when he felt like it was going to fall to the side, he’d hastily correct his posture.

Whenever he glanced at Kang Jinwook, he noticed that Kang Jinwook had his gaze fixed on the TV. Sunwoo wondered what was so interesting, but every time he looked, it seemed like nothing special. Still, Kang Jinwook stayed there, seemingly waiting for Sunwoo to fall asleep before leaving.

Well, he could just leave and go to his room first, but Sunwoo found himself not wanting to leave the spot, even while dozing off.

Eventually, Sunwoo’s head dropped to the sofa. Kang Jinwook quietly heard the soft breaths coming from the side.

The TV was airing a lively discussion between several journalists about societal issues. At that moment, Kang Jinwook’s phone, which had been in his pocket, rang.

He immediately took out his phone and checked the contents.

[ As requested, two tasks have been completed. ]

Seeing the message from an unsaved number, Kang Jinwook deleted it without a second thought. It was something he had expected to happen, so there wasn’t anything particularly noteworthy.

Kang Jinwook returned his gaze to the TV. After the election, there were always routine matters that followed.

Illegal political funds, real estate speculation, hidden assets, family or relative corruption, and personal morality-related incidents.

[ The newly elected official claims that the land, which he purchased for farming purposes, was already prepared for a vacation home, raising suspicions of violating agricultural land laws. Interestingly, the land was sold by a member of parliament who has recently been linked to illegal political fund scandals... ]

Right now, the TV was filled with various corruption allegations involving elected officials, most of which were unsubstantiated rumors, much like celebrity scandals.

With a casual flick of his hand, Kang Jinwook grabbed the remote control next to Sunwoo and turned off the TV.

The living room instantly became quiet. Kang Jinwook set the remote down on the table and stood up. He turned to the side and, without hesitation, picked up Sunwoo, who had fallen asleep.

The butler, who had quietly observed them, immediately went to Sunwoo’s room and opened the door, stepping aside to let Kang Jinwook through.

Once inside, Kang Jinwook carefully laid Sunwoo down on the bed. He gazed at Sunwoo’s sleeping face for a moment, then turned and left the room.

“Tomorrow, we’re going for Sunwoo’s check-up.”

The butler followed him out, informing him of Sunwoo’s schedule. After the check-up when they arrived from Jeju, they had conducted an overall examination, and now they were going to check the results.

“Make sure not to draw attention.”

The meaning was clear, even without further explanation. The butler nodded shortly. What seemed like the end of the conversation didn’t stop there.

“Well, it wouldn’t hurt to leak a bit.”

“Leak... what do you mean?”

Was he referring to the pregnancy? The butler’s expression tensed.

Only she knew about Sunwoo’s pregnancy in the household.

That meant Kang Jinwook was deeply concerned about Sunwoo’s well-being. Especially, it was critical that this information didn’t reach Chairman Kang’s ears.

The tests Sunwoo had taken were about his and the baby’s health, but it was intended to be treated as an ordinary health check-up.

“It should be fine to share a bit about the genetics.”

“Ah.”

The butler realized her misunderstanding at Kang Jinwook’s words. Of course, he wouldn’t have asked her to disclose something problematic about Sunwoo.

It was still hard to understand what he meant by ‘leaking’ information, but he was the one who had to make the decision after carefully considering the situation.

“I understand.”

The butler lowered her head without further comment.

“Choi Sunwoo entered Kang Jinwook’s house? Since when?”

After a brief meeting with Im Haewon, Kang Jin-tae, who was feeling good about resolving what he wanted, casually asked.

“About a week ago.”

But the answer that followed made Kang Jin-tae’s face scrunch up in disbelief.

“A week? You mean you didn’t know until now?”

He had people watching Kang Jinwook and Sunwoo’s every move, so why was he only hearing about this now?

“How did you handle this?”

“I’m sorry.”

The assistant, who had been reporting to Kang Jin-tae, looked pale.

“Didn’t you get any contact from the person you assigned to Kang Jinwook in Jeju?”

“Well... there have been photos and reports, but I didn’t notice anything unusual.”

“Doesn’t that mean there’s a problem with that person? How could you not realize this until now?”

Kang Jin-tae’s eyes blazed with fury. At the same time, the car was filled with his curses and angry shouts.
