How to Have a Baby Secretly-Chapter 59

“Where did you get this...?”

After hesitating, that was all that came out.

“From your room.”

Sunwoo shut his eyes tightly at that response. He had said the surrounding area looked like a wall, and sure enough...

“You... came to my house?”

He had thought he was with Im Haewon, but it wasn’t so.

“Why? Do you think I sent someone to search your house?”

“No, I didn’t think that.”

From Kang Jinwook’s reaction, it seemed that he was the one who had brought Sunwoo home and put him to bed.

For a moment, Sunwoo was relieved that Kang Jinwook hadn’t stayed at the hotel with Im Haewon, and he sighed deeply.

It was ridiculous that he was feeling relieved over just that, but what was even more depressing was that, not only was Sunwoo an Omega, but the fact that he was pregnant had also been exposed to the very person he needed to avoid.

Sunwoo’s lowered eyes trembled with anxiety. Kang Jinwook’s gaze never left Sunwoo, following his every move.

“Don’t even try to deny it. I just came from the hospital confirming it.”

Kang Jinwook had already cut off any chance of escape for Sunwoo.

“!”

Sunwoo, who had been staring at the ultrasound image the whole time, suddenly looked up. He recalled the message from Han Soojin and the phone call.

She had said she wouldn’t be able to contact him for a while due to an overseas seminar... It seemed like Kang Jinwook had been involved in that.

“D-Doctor was just helping me out. I told her I didn’t want anyone to know I was pregnant, so she was worried about me.”

Sunwoo desperately defended Han Soojin. He couldn’t let her be dragged into this because of him.

“That’s not what’s important. Choi Sunwoo, look at me.”

Kang Jinwook called Sunwoo’s name. His tone was unusually calm for the situation. Shouldn’t he be angry and yelling by now?

For a moment, Sunwoo thought about that and then looked up to meet Kang Jinwook’s eyes.

Sure enough, Kang Jinwook’s expression didn’t match his tone. But his gaze was different. His darkened eyes seemed to be struggling not to show his anger.

“Whose baby is it?”

Just as Sunwoo had suspected, Kang Jinwook was suppressing his anger. Since meeting Sunwoo, he had always been this way.

When Sunwoo had first met him, surprised and happy to see him getting off the bus, Kang Jinwook had felt a moment of joy.

He even forgot for a while about how mischievous Sunwoo had been.

But after confirming that Sunwoo was carrying a child that belonged to some unknown Alpha, it took all of Kang Jinwook’s effort to suppress his rage.

He didn’t want to release his pheromones and accidentally harm Sunwoo.

“Tell me. Choi Sunwoo, whose baby is it?”

Sunwoo looked at Kang Jinwook with nervous eyes. From Kang Jinwook’s reaction, it seemed like he didn’t know who the biological father of the baby was.

Should he be relieved? Or was this just a stroke of luck?

However, staring into Kang Jinwook’s darkened eyes made it hard to speak. He couldn’t say the words easily, especially “it’s not yours.”

Sunwoo hesitated several times, biting his lip and finally whispered.

“I don’t know…”

In the end, that was the answer Sunwoo chose. He couldn’t bring himself to say "it’s yours" and instead claimed he didn’t know the father.

“You don’t know? You don’t know who the father is?”

Kang Jinwook asked in disbelief.

“How on earth could you not know the man who got you pregnant? Ha, so you were hiding the fact that you’re an Omega because of this, huh?”

Kang Jinwook’s words about being “cheap” and “using your body” made Sunwoo’s face turn pale. No matter how much he hated it, he didn’t want to hear things like that. No, there was no reason to hear it.

“No, that’s not it! I told you, I don’t remember. So, naturally, there’s another biological father…”

“Not that damn memory loss again!”

Kang Jinwook cut him off sharply before Sunwoo could finish. His tone was full of disgust. Sunwoo felt his body freeze, as if he had plunged into ice-cold water.

“Being an Omega... that was just... my secretary had to be a Beta, so I thought it would be okay since I can’t release pheromones…”

Honestly, this situation wasn’t something Sunwoo had created. It was solely between Subusoo and Kang Jinwook. Even if Kang Jinwook blamed him, there was no need to explain himself.

They weren’t really anything to each other. They weren’t going to be anything in the future either.

Still, Sunwoo wanted to explain, to clear up Kang Jinwook’s misunderstanding. His chest felt tight, his head throbbing; he felt like he had to say something.

“Why did you pretend to be a Beta and become my secretary? Oh, you’ll probably say you don’t remember, right? Because you lost your memory.”

But the response he got was Kang Jinwook’s mocking reply.

“Why, why else? It’s because I... liked you.”

Sunwoo, without thinking, let the words slip out.

“You, liked me?”

Kang Jinwook looked at him with disbelief, as if he couldn’t understand what Sunwoo was saying. Sunwoo, taken aback by that look, was thrown off.

Why was he reacting as if he was hearing this for the first time?

It was impossible that Kang Jinwook didn’t know how obsessed Subusoo had been, following him around like a stalker. Even the secretaries in the office knew about it.

Subusoo’s phone and social media accounts were plastered with pictures of Kang Jinwook and posts about him.

So why was Kang Jinwook acting like he didn’t know?

“Y-yeah, if not, how would I have thought to be your fiancée!”

Of course, according to Kim Tae-yeol, that wasn’t the whole story. It was Kang Chairman and Vice President Kang Jintaek who had arranged for Subusoo to be placed by Kang Jinwook’s side.

There had probably been some kind of negotiation between them, and Subusoo might have wanted something in return.

But from all those pictures and posts, it was obvious that Subusoo had feelings for Kang Jinwook.

“Yeah, is that so? You liked me.”

But it seemed Kang Jinwook didn’t believe Sunwoo’s words. In fact, he seemed rather exasperated.

Why? What was this? Had he really been so subtle about following him around that Kang Jinwook hadn’t noticed? That couldn’t be true. Kang Jinwook wasn’t that dense.

“Why are you doing this, Choi Sunwoo? You hate me.”

“What?”

Did I... no, did Subusoo hate him?

Kang Jinwook threw a crooked smile at Sunwoo, who was looking at him with wide eyes, unable to believe what he was hearing.

“No, you don’t hate me, you despise me.”

Kang Jinwook and Choi Sunwoo were childhood schoolmates. More precisely, Kang Jinwook transferred to the private school that Sunwoo attended.

Kang Jinwook had manifested as an Alpha at the age of 11. Less than three days after the diagnosis, unfamiliar people showed up at his house.

A middle-aged man leading them introduced himself as the chairman’s secretary and greeted them formally before speaking in a business-like tone.

“By the chairman’s orders, we’re here to escort you. He wishes to meet with you.”

It wasn’t a suggestion, but an announcement. That day, Kang Jinwook, along with his mother, went to a house with walls as high as a fortress.

It was a huge mansion. There, Kang Jinwook met an elderly man with a cold expression, a woman who glared at them menacingly, and a boy who resembled the woman closely.

“You must be Jinwook. Nice to meet you. I’m your father.”

Father. The person Kang Jinwook had never considered in his life greeted him with a smile. But only the elderly man seemed genuinely happy.

The woman standing beside him and the boy glared at Kang Jinwook and his mother with hostile eyes.

“You will live here from now on, understand?”

And so, from that day, they became Kang Jinwook’s family, and his mother legally became a stranger to him.

Kang Jinwook’s residence was in the main house, while his mother lived in a separate building behind it.

Soon after, Kang Jinwook transferred schools. To live as the son of Chairman Kang, he had to follow the elite path.

It was at this new school that Kang Jinwook met Choi Sunwoo. With his smooth, soft skin, and his delicate features, Sunwoo looked so adorable, like a well-baked bread.

The moment Sunwoo blinked his almond-shaped eyes, Kang Jinwook knew right away that he liked him.

“I’m Jinwook. Let’s get along.”

Kang Jinwook greeted him, a little nervous but hopeful, thinking he would like to be friends with this cute boy.

“What’s with that poor smell? Hey, don’t talk to me.”

But all he got in response was a cold sneer.

“I know you. You’re the flea that got into Chairman Kang’s family. Your mom is...”

Choi Sunwoo whispered in Kang Jinwook’s ear, as if sharing a secret no one else should hear.

Your mom is a mistress.

Mistress. That was the phrase the boy, who resembled the woman, used mockingly.

At that time, Kang Jinwook didn’t know what that word meant. But seeing the sad expression on his mother’s face, he realized it wasn’t something pleasant.

The way Sunwoo looked at him was cruel, too innocent for a child of just 11 years old. His eyes glimmered with a certain kind of cruelty that Kang Jinwook couldn’t ignore.

From that day on, Kang Jinwook’s life was filled with rejection and bullying, with Choi Sunwoo at the center of it all.
