Married For Now-Chapter 113: DRAMA LOVER

Chapter 113: DRAMA LOVER

[A few hours before the mastermind reveal...]

WHAT?

[PARK SOHEE: I’m sorry for not replying to your messages. I got kidnapped. But I’m okay! Kim Heedo saved me! J]

Hong Sera dropped her expensive lipstick out of shock after reading Park Sohee’s message.

It was sent to their CRYBABIES group chat.

[CHO EUNTAK: hyuuung! wru now? can we visit u? T_T]

[HONG SERA: Oppa, you like makjang 1so much that your life has turned into one. From now on, you’re not allowed to watch soap operas. Only watch healing shows. We’ll monitor you!]

[Park Sohee: Okay. I’m sorry for making you worry. L]

After that message, Park Sohee told him where they could visit him.

Hong Sera then went to the group chat that she had with Kim Heedo, Yang Jaewon, and Kwon Gaon. The group chat was called ’Princess Sera and her Servants.’

Her friends even had a nickname in that group chat.

Kim Heedo already announced in their GC that Park Sohee was kidnapped but was now confined to a hospital.

[Servant #1 (Kim Heedo): Come and play with Sohee Hyung. Keep him entertained until I’m back.]

[Servant #2 (Yang Jaewon): There’s really never a boring moment with Sohee Hyung.]

[Servant #3 (Kwon Gaon): Sera-ya, Jaewon and I are at my house. Should we pick you up?]

[Princess Sera (Hong Sera): Sure. I’ll be ready in ten minutes.]

[Servant #1 (Kim Heedo): Yah, Hong Sera. Don’t bring Han Raehyun with you. I didn’t put him on the list of the people allowed to visit Sohee Hyung.]

[Princess Sera (Hong Sera): I won’t!!! You’re so annoying.]

After talking to her friends, Hong Sera finished dolling up.

She was supposed to go shopping with her sisters-in-law, but...

I’m sure they’ll understand.

"Oh, Sera-ya."

"Your friends are already here."

Hong Sera smiled at her sisters-in-law while going down the stairs.

Han Minyoung was her oldest sister-in-law— the Alpha wife of her oldest brother, Hong Seojun.

Her second sister-in-law was Nam Yoona— the Alpha wife of her second older brother, Hong Seokho.

My sisters-in-law are both Alphas while my older brothers are both Betas like me.

"Hello, Sisters-in-law," Hong Sera greeted them politely with a smile. "I think you already know, but I can’t join this shopping today."

Chaebols would often go on a shopping spree differently from other people.

Instead of going to the mall, the luxury department store would come to their house.

Just like right now.

Their spacious living room had turned into a luxury department store.

Items from different luxury brands— from clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, and even high jewelry—were arranged nicely, imitating how a fancy boutique looked like.

Of course, even the sales staff members looked neat and elite.

"We wanted to spoil you today to cheer you up, but we understand that your friend comes first," Nam Yoona said, linking her arm with Hong Sera’s. "So, Minyoung Unnie and I will just choose some pretty stuff for you."

"I’d love that, Yuri Unnie," Hong Sera said, smiling while nodding. "Thank you."

"Sera-ya, you were just sick a few days ago," Han Minyoung said, grabbing a silk scarf from a mannequin that matched Hong Sera’s outfit. Then she gently wrapped the silk scarf around Hong Sera’s neck. "Don’t play too much, okay? Come home early and have dinner with us. Your brothers are worried about you."

"Thank you for the silk scarf, Minyoung Unnie," Hong Sera said, smiling at her oldest sister-in-law. "I’ll come home early and have dinner with our family."

"YOU TWO," Hong Sera said while walking in the garden with Yang Jaewon and Kwon Gaon. They would be using Yang Jaewon’s car, and it was parked outside the mansion. "You already know that Sohee Oppa was kidnapped, don’t you?"

After all, Yang Jaewon and Kwon Gaon didn’t sound surprised in the GC.

"My family’s security agency handles the security team in the Ilsung Group," Kwon Gaon explained. "They notified us when Sohee Hyung was kidnapped, then they requested more bodyguards after Sohee Hyung was brought to the hospital."

"Some journalists somehow found out that Song Sihyuk Hyung-nim’s child was kidnapped, so the Ilsung Group and the SG Group bribed all the media outlets that tried to release the news," Yang Jaewon explained. "Our broadcasting station received one, too."

Hong Sera pouted when the realization hit her. "I was the last one to know."

"We didn’t tell you because we didn’t want to stress you out," Yang Jaewon said, gently patting her on the head. "You were sick recently, after all."

"I’m fine now," Hong Sera assured her friends. "You worry too much."

Yang Jaewon and Kwon Gaon both just shrugged.

The bodyguards at the gate bowed to them politely before opening the gates.

Yang Jaewon’s car was parked right there...

... next to a familiar car.

"Sera-ya."

It was Han Raehyun.

Haaah.

"What are you doing here, Han Raehyun?" Hong Sera asked in a tired voice. "Didn’t I tell you that I didn’t want to see you in the meantime?"

"I was just worried about you, Sera-ya," Han Raehyun said. "How are you?"

"Thank you for your concern, but I’m really fine now," Hong Sera said, feeling awkward because she wasn’t really ready to face Han Raehyun yet. After all, she didn’t have the energy to explain what happened during the time that she was sick. "Raehyun-ah, I’m really busy today. I’ll call you when I’m ready to talk."

"But you’ve been avoiding me for days now, Sera-ya," Han Raehyun insisted. "We can’t delay this any longer."

"Raehyun-ah, not now. I’m serious. We’re really busy."

"Sera-ya—"

"Dude, quit it," Yang Jaewon said, standing in front of Hong Sera protectively. "We’re busy, okay? Sera said she’ll contact you once she’s ready, so why not wait like a good puppy?"

Han Raehyun detected the sarcasm in Yang Jaewon’s words, so he lifted his head and glared at Yang Jaewon.

Hong Sera wanted to break the two’s mini staring contest, but Kwon Gaon patted her on the back.

"Let’s go, Sera-ya."

Ah.

Hong Sera suddenly realized that she shouldn’t be worrying about everything when her friends got her back.

I don’t need to pacify Han Raehyun anymore.

Hence, Hong Sera followed Kwon Gaon without looking back.

CHO EUNTAK hurried to the hospital as soon as he got the message from Park Sohee.

But since Park Sohee was in the VIP Room, he couldn’t simply just go there. Hence, Hong Sera asked him to wait for her in the lobby.

And while he was there...

"Cho Euntak, what are you doing here?"

Oh, no.

It was Baek Jeho...

... with his girlfriend.

Short hair, chic fit, petite.

The pretty and cool girl next to Baek Jeho was none other than Jeong Hyerin.

"Are you sick?" Baek Jeho asked worriedly, leaving Jeong Hyerin’s side to get to Cho Euntak. "Why didn’t you call me?"

"I’m not sick. And even if I was, why would I call you? I can bring myself to the hospital," Cho Euntak said while shaking his head. And then his gaze went past Baek Jeho. "Why are you leaving your girlfriend?"

"Oh," Baek Jeho said, and then he walked backwards. He then gently held Jeong Hyerin’s hand and pulled her closer until the two were standing in front of Cho Euntak. "You haven’t met her personally, right? This is Jeong Hyerin, my girlfriend."

’My girlfriend.’

Cho Euntak already knew that, but it still hurt hearing that straight from Baek Jeho.

"Jeong Hyerin, this is Cho Euntak— my best friend."

’My best friend.’

Even hearing those words hurt like hell.

But Cho Euntak still forced a smile when exchanging greetings with Jeong Hyerin.

She seems like a good person.

Baek Jeho and Jeon Hyerin looked good together, too.

Kill me now.

"You don’t look good, Cho Euntak?" Baek Jeho asked worriedly. "Do you want me to stay here with you?"

Cho Euntak clenched his hands tight, annoyed.

He was about to give Baek Jeho a piece of his mind when...

"Baek Jeho, what kind of disrespect is this?"

It was Jeong Hyerin, talking to Baek Jeho in a calm yet firm manner.

"You asked me to have a dinner date with you after this, so why are you suddenly offering to stay with Cho Euntak when he already said he wasn’t sick?" Jeong Hyerin scolded Baek Jeho. She didn’t raise her voice. But her words were clear and stern. "Plus, can’t you see that you’re making your friend uncomfortable?"

Baek Jeho flinched, but he couldn’t talk back.

Cho Euntak, on the other hand, was amazed.

Jeong Hyerin is cool...

"I wouldn’t mind canceling our date if your friend was dying— but that’s clearly not the case here," Jeong Hyerin said. "Don’t put your friend in an awkward position."

Baek Jeho knitted his eyebrows. "Hyerin-ah, you’re being harsh."

"I have to be this harsh because you can be dense sometimes," Jeong Hyerin said, glancing at her watch. "Go and talk to your friend. I’ll wait in the car. If you don’t come out after five minutes, I’m leaving."

After saying that, Jeong Hyerin left coolly.

Wow.

That person has a backbone.

Cho Euntak was inspired to grow a spine after seeing how cool Jeong Hyerin was.

I love her confidence, and I hate that I understand why Baek Jeho fell for her.

"Are you really alright, Euntak-ah?" Baek Jeho asked, still worried. "If you’re fine, then why are you here?"

Baek Jeho tried to touch Cho Euntak’s face, but Cho Euntak avoided his touch by stepping back.

As expected, Baek Jeho looked hurt and shocked by what he did.

I feel guilty, but I have to put a boundary between us.

"Hey, I already said I’m fine," Cho Euntak said firmly. "Baek Jeho, I want to stop loving you, so help me."

***

SOHEE FLINCHED, suddenly feeling weird.

"What’s wrong, Hyung?" Kim Heedo asked worriedly. "Are you hurt somewhere? Should I call the doctor?"

"No, I’m fine," Sohee said while shaking his head. "I just suddenly feel like I’m missing out on some huge drama. My drama senses are tingling, after all."

"Hyung, stop attracting drama in your life. You already got kidnapped twice."

Right.

But what could Sohee do?

I’m a drama lover.

"Sihyuk Hyung-nim said he’ll be here soon with Garam Hyung-nim and their son."

Hearing that put Sohee in a good mood. "Gunwoo gives me baby fever, you know?"

"Huh?"

"Baby fever," Sohee repeated, and then he explained in case Kim Heedo didn’t understand what it meant. "Gunwoo makes me want to have my own baby because of how cute he is."

Kim Heedo’s face turned red, and then he asked shyly: "Are you ready to have a baby with me, Hyung?"

Oh.

Did it sound like I was asking Heedo to make a baby with me?

Well, to be fair, Sohee was seriously having a baby fever at the moment.
