Married For Now-Chapter 157: SO CLICHÉ

TO BE honest, Sohee wasn’t really that shocked.

At the back of his head, he had already expected that Kim Heedo would lose his memories after his evolution as a Hyper-Dominant Alpha was completed.

There was a precedent, after all.

Song Sihyuk-ssi had lost his memories after he awakened as a Hyper-Dominant Alpha.

Hence, he consoled himself so he wouldn’t be shaken by this cruel twist of fate.

It’s alright, Park Sohee. It took years, but Sihyuk-ssi regained his memories. And Garam Hyung-nim said he could have helped Sihyuk-ssi remember his past earlier if he wanted to. So, there’s a way to make Kim Heedo remember me faster.

"Son, you don’t recognize Park Sohee?" Vice Chairman Kim Dohan asked carefully, and it was smart of him not to reveal that Sohee was Kim Heedo’s husband. After all, Kim Heedo looked confused as hell. "You’ve known him for years now. You two have first met when you were in your senior of high school."

Oh.

My father-in-law is gauging how much Kim Heedo remembers.

"What do you mean by that, Appa?" Kim Heedo asked, knitting his eyebrows. "I’m still a senior."

Ah, fuck.

Kim Heedo’s memories regressed.

If he thinks he’s still in high school, then...

"Where’s Lee Junsu?" Kim Heedo asked impatiently. "If I’m in the hospital, then he must be worried of me..."

Sohee suddenly felt nauseous.

This is worse than a Kdrama...

"Sohee-ya, you must be feeling unwell," President Kang Nari said, wrapping her arm around Sohee’s shoulders. "Would you like to rest in a different room? We’ll talk to Kim Heedo."

That was honestly a good idea.

It was better for his mother-in-law and father-in-law to talk to Kim Heedo first.

After all, Kim Heedo won’t believe a thing from a person he doesn’t remember.

However...

"Let me introduce myself to Kim Heedo first, Mother-in-law."

""Mother-in-law?"" Kim Heedo repeated Sohee’s words in disbelief while looking at Sohee as if he was crazy. "Why are you calling my mother like that?"

"I’m sure your brain could figure it out. But since I understand why you’re confused, I’ll introduce myself to you properly," Sohee said as calmly as he could. Honestly, he was glad that his voice didn’t tremble even though he was already losing strength in his body. "My name is Park Sohee, and I’m your husband." He then carefully placed his hands on his belly. "As well as the future mother of your baby, Heedo-ya."

Kim Heedo looked so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

On the other hand, President Kang Nari and Vice Chairman Kim Dohan looked at Sohee with a hopeful look on their faces.

Oh, right.

I haven’t shared the good news with them yet.

"Yes, Mother-in-law and Father-in-law," Sohee said, giving his in-laws a small smile on his face. "I am pregnant."

***

KIM HEEDO’s head was pounding.

The things that his mother and father explained to him was hard to believe.

I’m already twenty-three years old, married to that hyung called Park Sohee, and we’re expecting a baby.

Worst of all, it had been years since Lee Junsu broke up with him?

This can’t be true...

"It’s memory loss caused by Pheromones Overload," Seong Kyungmin, the doctor and hyung that Heedo trusted, explained to his parents. "The sudden increase of his pheromones gave Kim Heedo-ssi mild brain damage, and that caused his memory loss. We don’t know yet if it’s only temporary, but there’s a high chance that it is. After all, we have a precedent."

His parents looked relieved.

But not me.

"Eomma, Appa, I refuse to accept all of this," Heedo said firmly, causing his parents and the doctor to look at him. "I want to see Lee Junsu— I need to hear everything from him."

"Heedo-ya, you can’t do that," his mother said while shaking her head. "You heard Dr. Seong, didn’t you? Your memory loss is temporary. If you meet Lee Junsu now, you’ll regret it once you regain your memories. Trust me— you wouldn’t want to hurt Park Sohee, even if it’s not on purpose."

"I’m sorry, Eomma, but I can’t trust you. I just remembered who Park Sohee is."

"You did?" his father asked carefully. "How do you remember him then?"

"That hyung is the person Grandfather wants me to marry, isn’t he?" Heedo asked suspiciously. "Grandfather is forcing me to break up with Lee Junsu just to marry that Park Sohee. What if all of this is just a ploy to make me do Grandfather’s bidding?"

"Heedo-ya, we can provide evidence that years had already passed since you broke up with Lee Junsu," his mother said. "You’re now happily married with Park Sohee."

"Eomma, with our resources, you can easily fabricate evidence."

"Son, do you think we’ll do that to you?"

"Not Eomma and Appa, but I won’t put it past Grandfather." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

His parents couldn’t refute that.

Ah, there’s an opening.

"Eomma, Appa, just let me talk to Lee Junsu. I just want to confirm if we really broke up," Heedo said, giving his parents the puppy dog eyes he knew they couldn’t refuse. "Please?"

His mother was about to answer, but a knock on the door interrupted her.

After giving for the person on the other side of the door to come in...

"Madam, Vice Chairman."

It was his mother’s secretary.

"Chairman Kim is here."

Oh.

Heedo frowned, not thrilled with the idea of seeing his grandfather.

What if Grandpa forbids me from seeing Lee Junsu?

***

"THIS IS a cursed item."

Sohee frowned after hearing what Shaman Jung said after inspecting the dagger that Park Mansu used to attack them.

The dagger still had Kim Heedo’s blood on the blade.

But it was carefully wrapped in a white cloth.

Shaman Jung-nim asked us not to clean the blood off the blade.

Right now, he was in the VIP Room next to Kim Heedo’s room.

Shaman Jung came to visit him with Kim Haewon, Kim Hanhae, and Go Gunjoon.

Yes, he asked the twins to bring his half-brother because he wanted to ask how he was doing these days.

Only a select few could visit me, so I couldn’t ask Hong Sera and Cho Euntak to come here. And I’m not sure if it’s okay to see Hong Sera yet.

"Did you say Park Mansu was the one who brought this dagger?"

"Yes, sir," Sohee said politely while nodding his head. "I thought my father was acting weird since he suddenly got super strong after chanting some incoherent words. He looked possessed then. A Beta like my father couldn’t have possibly sent Alphas flying on his own."

Speaking of Park Mansu, that scumbag was taken away by Kang Sul and the other bodyguards under Sohee’s command.

I told them to keep an eye on that human trash.

Sohee would deal with his deadbeat father later.

Yes, not the police— but me.

"You’re right, Sohee-ssi. Your father was definitely possessed when this cursed item was in his possession," Shaman Jung confirmed, raising his head to meet Sohee’s gaze. "This old dagger is cursed, just as I said earlier. If this thing falls into the hand of a person with deep grudge, the curse will get activated. Then the dagger will give the wielder a temporary boost in their physical strength."

That explains the way that person sent those bodyguards flying.

"It’s also a shame that Young Master Heedo shed blood."

Okay, that got him nervous.

"How did getting his hand slashed by the dagger affected Kim Heedo in a bad way, sir?" Sohee asked worriedly. "Was that the reason he collapsed?"

"The curse of this dagger seemed to have been made specifically for a Dominant Alpha like the young master," Shaman Jung explained. "This was designed to increase the pheromones level of Alphas with the intention of making them go berserk."

Ah, dammit.

Sohee clenched his hands tight.

No wonder Heedo had a Pheromones Overload!

But that wasn’t the only thing that annoyed him.

So, the target was Heedo and not me.

"Sohee-ssi, I believe Crystal was the one who put the curse in this dagger," Shaman Jung said in a serious voice. "It seems like she knows that Young Master Heedo’s real Alpha class. She probably saw Young Master Heedo’s memory loss due to Pheromones Overload. Hence, she used that method to cause the young master to go on a rampage."

Haaah.

Sohee couldn’t believe that a shaman like that Crystal bitch was at large.

With all of his in-laws’ resources, it was crazy how they couldn’t catch a single person.

Dammit.

Sohee gently hugged his stomach when he felt another cramp coming.

"Oppa, you suddenly went pale," Kim Haewon said worriedly. "Should I call the doctor?"

"No, I’m fine."

"You’re not fine, Hyung-nim," Go Gunjoon said, frowning. "You’re sweating bullets."

"Hyung, the fact that Heedo Hyung lost his memories of you must be shocking enough. You should rest first," Kim Hanhae said. "We’ll take care of this matter in the meantime."

Aww.

Sohee was touched that the kids were worried about him.

I bet they’ll get even more worried once they find out I’m pregnant.

His thought was interrupted when the door suddenly burst open.

Then President Kang Nari entered the room with urgency.

Just the ominous look on his mother-in-law’s face was enough to let him know that something bad happened.

But Sohee was still shocked when President Kang Nari dropped the bombshell on him.

"Sohee-ya, Father-in-law took Kim Heedo away."

"What?" Sohee asked, confused and shocked. "Why would Chairman Kim take Kim Heedo away when he still needs to stay in the hospital?"

President Kang Nari gulped before she answered. "Father-in-law said he’ll bring Kim Heedo to Lee Junsu."

Damn that old man!
