Married For Now-Chapter 112: THE MASTERMIND?

SOHEE tattled on Kim Heedo.

He told his husband everything Han Yechan had said, including his own conclusions.

"So, I think Jin Taejoon’s brother is actually sane unlike Jin Taejoon," Sohee said. He wasn’t praising the enemy, but he had to give credit when credit was due. "He knows that antagonizing both the Ilsung Group and the SG Group is stupid, so he sent his subordinates to stop Jin Taejoon from harming us." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Just the fact that Sohee and Gunwoo were kidnapped was enough reason for the Ilsung Group and the SG Group to crush Jin Taejoon’s organization— including his father’s.

So, the least thing Han Yechan could do was to make sure we weren’t harmed.

"But that bastard Han Yechan threatened you by insisting that you "owe" him a favor by helping you and Gunwoo," Kim Heedo said in an eerily calm voice. This brat was seething inside, for sure. "I’m glad you didn’t listen to him, Hyung. Thank you for telling me everything."

"Just because I’m grateful that he saved me before Jin Taejoon got his chance to rape me again doesn’t mean..."

Oh, shit.

Sohee made a slip of the tongue.

It wasn’t like he wanted to keep that part a secret forever.

I was planning on telling him about it once he calmed down...

"Hyung, were you planning to hide the fact that Jin Taejoon attempted to rape you a secret from me?"

Kim Heedo asked that calmly.

His husband wasn’t upset— it looked like he was hurt thinking that Sohee tried to keep him in the dark.

Aigoo.

"I wasn’t trying to keep it a secret from you, Heedo-ya— I was just planning on stalling," Sohee explained, holding Kim Heedo’s hands. "I wanted to wait until you’ve completely calmed down."

"Really, Hyung? It’s not because you don’t rely on me?"

"Heedo-ya, I rely on you a lot. And we’re married— we’re a team. That’s why I told you everything you needed to know."

Kim Heedo looked relieved by what he said. "Thank you for trusting me, Hyung. Don’t worry— I will avenge you."

Sohee let out a sigh.

This is why I didn’t want to tell Heedo while he was still in a bad mood.

"Heedo-ya."

"Yes, Hyung?"

"I appreciate what you had to do to protect me," Sohee said carefully because he didn’t want Kim Heedo to misunderstand. "But too much violence is bad, Heedo-ya. Alphas are already scary for Omegas like me. So, when you act violently, I get scared of you even if I don’t want to feel that way."

Kim Heedo looked like water was suddenly poured over him. "Did I scare you, Hyung?"

"A little. I know that you did that because of me, and I’m grateful for your protection. But it’s scary, and I don’t like the scent of your pheromones when you’re being violent."

And that was the truth.

As an Omega, even though he would often act tough, it didn’t change the fact that Alphas were naturally scary to him.

Especially since I’ve had bad experiences with some Alphas.

"I’m conflicted, Hyung," Kim Heedo said, and it looked like he was really in a difficult position. "I don’t want to scare you, but I can’t forgive Jin Taejoon and the people who hurt you. I want them punished."

"Put them in jail then."

"Huh?"

"I’ll allow you to break a bone or two before you put them in jail, but that’s it," Sohee said, looking down at Kim Heedo’s hands. And then he gently ran his fingers over his bruised knuckles. "I don’t want you to hurt yourself like this, Heedo-ya. At a time like this, I’d rather you abuse your power as a chaebol and put those bastards in jail without due process."

Just like how the Kims quickly and silently throw the bastards who accidentally kidnapped me during the festival in jail.

"So, don’t kill anyone for my sake, Heedo-ya."

"Can I at least leave Jin Taejoon half-dead before I send him to jail? Breaking a bone or two won’t suffice."

Sohee chuckled, and then he raised his head to look at his husband’s face.

Kim Heedo was scowling— it was obvious that he really wanted to kill Jin Taejoon, but he was holding back because he didn’t want to scare Sohee.

I know I shouldn’t romanticize this, but I feel loved.

"Hyung, this wasn’t the first time Jin Taejoon tried to rape you. That kind of asshat won’t change. I’m sure he’ll do that again if we don’t teach him a lesson he won’t forget you," Kim Heedo said in a serious tone. "I wasn’t planning to kill that bastard, but I was planning to send him to a deep-sea fishing boat. I figured if he tries to escape from a place like that, then the people who own the fishing boat will surely kill him."

Ah.

So, my dear husband wanted other people to do the dirty job.

"Jin Taejoon’s brother seems to care about him, so I doubt he’d let you take his brother to a deep-sea fishing boat. Plus, I think you’ll just make it easier for Jin Taejoon’s brother to "kidnap" Jin Taejoon just like what Han Yechan did," Sohee said, considering his husband’s plan and deciding that his plan was better. "But if you let Jin Taejoon’s brother know that you want Jin Taejoon to be locked up, I think he’d prefer that since he could still see his brother in jail."

"You want me to negotiate with them?"

"Tell Han Yechan that this is how we pay the "debt" that we "owe" to him— by letting Jin Taejoon live."

"Alright. I’ll do it if that’s what you want, Hyung."

"Good boy," Sohee said, gently patting Kim Heedo’s head. "But we need to find Jin Taejoon and Han Yechan first, Heedo-ya. Han Yechan made it sound like I’ll never see him again unless he wants to."

Kim Heedo scoffed, obviously displeased by Han Yechan’s arrogance. "Did he just underestimate the heirs to two of the biggest conglomerates in the country?"

Right? So...

"Did you already find him?"

"Not yet, but the bastard we caught already opened his mouth."

"Which bastard are we talking about here?"

Kim Heedo’s gaze fell on the needle marks on the inside of Sohee’s elbow. "The crazy bastard who tried to collect your blood, Hyung."

Ah!

So, we’re talking about the bastard that Heedo beat to a pulp.

"The gas mask bastard," Sohee said, nodding when he remembered that bastard who fed him drugs. "So, he survived."

I thought Kim Heedo had killed him.

"That bastard would have died by my hands if you didn’t cough up blood then, Hyung."

"I know, right? My timing is impeccable."

"You can still joke around, Hyung?"

"Do you want me to cry then?"

Kim Heedo shook his head. "Let’s visit Shaman Jung once you’re discharged, Hyung. He can’t leave the temple at the moment, so let’s just go to him."

"Are you starting to believe in Shaman Jung?"

"If Shaman Jung can get rid of your bad luck, then I’ll gladly trust him."

Oh.

So, even Heedo thinks I have bad luck recently because of the continuous "dramas" I got involved in.

Honestly, Sohee thought the same.

"But if Hyung is uncomfortable around Shaman Jung, then I’ll go alone and get a talisman from him or something."

Aigoo.

"No, let’s go together," Sohee said, squeezing Kim Heedo’s hands. "How long do I need to stay here?"

"We can get you discharged today, but I’d like it if you stay here for a few days, Hyung. Although your test results show that you’re completely fine, I don’t want to risk it. After all, it took a while before you got proper treatment after you got your head bashed. There are cases where patients who have a similar injury develop blood clots that the doctors didn’t notice right away. So, let’s stay here for a few days, hmm?"

To be honest, Sohee didn’t want to stay there longer because he was already sick of getting confined to a hospital.

It doesn’t matter if this room looks like a hotel suite.

However, he thought Kim Heedo might cry if he said he wanted to go home.

"Garam Hyung-nim said he’ll visit you later," Kim Heedo said, obviously trying to convince Sohee to stay in the hospital. "You can play with him and Gunwoo while Sihyuk and I... uh, go to "work.""

I don’t have the heart to say ’no’ to my husband.

"Alright. I’ll stay," Sohee said, giving in because he was such a good husband. "But can Sera and Euntak visit me here?"

"Of course, Hyung," Kim Heedo said, beaming. "I’ll let the security know that Hong Sera and Cho Euntak are allowed to visit you."

<"AH, WE GOT caught. Did we really think we could get away with messing with two giant chaebols? We must be stupid.">

Lee Junsu’s grip on his phone tightened while listening on the other line.

How did Park Sohee get involved with his plan when Park Sohee wasn’t the target this time?

"So, what should we do?" Lee Junsu asked nervously. "Where’s Jin Taejoon?"

<"They already caught Jin Taejoon.">

Dammit!

He shouldn’t have trusted that stupid loan shark to do a good job.

Lee Junsu closed his eyes, his heart beating fast and hard against his chest.

This was the first time he got nervous in a while.

If Jin Taejoon snitches on me, then Kim Heedo will find out that I’m the one behind the kidnapping...

"IS THIS TRUE, Sihyuk Hyung-nim?" Kim Heedo asked while reading the documents in his hand. "Is this person really the mastermind?"

He then lifted his head.

Song Sihyuk was leaning against the wall while smoking. "It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? But my subordinates already checked several times. All the pieces of information written there have been verified by trusted sources."

Heedo’s gaze landed on the picture of the culprit, unsure how to feel about it. "The whole country will get shaken if this gets leaked to the public."
