Crazy A Married Life – Chapter 111

#111

Idam felt his throat burning with the newfound knowledge about his father. He tried drinking citron tea, but the rising thirst wouldn’t subside. It was so hot that it was almost difficult to swallow. Feeling suffocated, Idam patted his chest.

“Here.”

Rickdi, noticing Idam’s discomfort, took out a bottle of water from the office refrigerator and handed it to him.

“Th-Thank you.”

Idam quickly drank the water. As the cold water went down his throat, he finally felt his thirst subsiding. After calming his racing heart, he spoke.

“Why was my father a test subject?”

“22 years ago, Yeo Seunghwan’s business wasn’t doing well, and it seems he worked for the money. The compensation for three months was equivalent to an average company employee’s annual salary.”

Come to think of it, Idam had heard that his father was in extreme financial difficulty when he left Idam at the orphanage. A part of his heart ached, but soon another question followed.

“But don’t they need extremely receptive omegas for rejection syndrome treatment? As far as I know, my father was a beta?”

“To develop a perfect cure, they tested on all phenotypes. By the way, what was your mother’s phenotype?”

“She was a beta.”

“Originally, only betas can be born between betas. Extremely receptive omegas can’t be produced.”

“Then… do I have different biological parents?”

If Rickdi’s claims were true, this was the only logical conclusion. But it was hard to accept because Idam closely resembled his mother, and they shared the same constitution and food preferences.

“That’s not the case.”

“Then… why am I an extremely receptive omega?”

“Ji Taehwa decided to go against nature once more for easier treatment. They also developed a new drug to increase extremely receptive omegas. So, Yeo Seunghwan, being a beta, would have been injected with related drugs. For example, there were quite a few cases where children of test subjects from this period manifested as extremely receptive omegas.”

“Then… I…”

The conclusion was that if Idam’s father hadn’t worked as a test subject, Idam should have lived as a beta.

“However, being born as an extremely receptive omega doesn’t mean all genetic diseases can be cured. You had to be compatible with Taemin. That’s why Ji Taehwa and Taemin’s father desperately searched for a suitable extremely receptive omega. But Yeo Seunghwan was unmarried and a beta at the time of the experiment, so he was deemed useless as a cure and wasn’t followed up on.”

“Ah…”

It seemed that Idam’s father met his mother and conceived Idam shortly after his time as a test subject. Moreover, since Idam was left at an orphanage after birth, it would have been even harder to track him. In this situation, meeting Taemin could be called fate, if one could call it that. Bitter as it may be.

“Especially, extremely receptive omegas with pheromone disorders are considered more valuable as a cure.”

“Really?”

Idam’s eyes widened. Rickdi nodded.

“I heard from your friend that you have a pheromone disorder.”

“Yes…”

“May I ask what the specific symptoms of that disorder are?”

“It wasn’t a big problem for me. But when someone was exposed to my pheromones, they suffered tremendously. They experienced lethargy, physical paralysis, vomiting, and dizziness.”

Rickdi nodded as if he had expected Idam’s disorder.

“That disorder is because the detoxifying components of the drug Yeo Seunghwan took as a test subject remained in his body, and you inherited it through your pheromone glands. The drug was quite potent. That’s why ordinary people find it hard to accept your pheromones. But for Taemin, who was addicted to the toxin, your pheromones were a cure, so he didn’t feel any rejection.”

“To think my pheromone disorder was because of that.”

While others avoided Idam’s pheromones, Taemin found them sweet and loved them. That’s why Idam thought he could be a normal omega in front of him.

But reality confirmed that he was just a tool to cure Taemin’s genetic disease.

His eyes welled up with tears of despair, but he tried hard to hold them back. Crying now wouldn’t solve anything.

“Actually, my mother was also an extremely receptive omega. That’s why her end wasn’t good.”

“Really?”

Idam’s eyes, which had been gloomy with the new information, widened.

“My mother had dealt with Ji Hyeongman, Taemin’s father, a long time ago. But when Ji Hyeongman found an extremely receptive omega more compatible with him, he tried to kill my mother to silence her.”

“Oh my god…”

Idam’s already shrunken heart felt even smaller.

“But she luckily survived and met my current father, forming a family.”

This was a moment when Idam somewhat understood why Rickdi cared about him. But there was still something unclear.

“With such a history, why do you maintain a friendship with the CEO?”

If Idam were Rickdi, he would feel very uncomfortable around Taemin.

“I learned about this after becoming friends with Taemin. My mother told me about it two years ago before she passed away after battling an illness. I was quite shocked too.”

“Ah…”

“But Taemin didn’t know about it, and my mother didn’t want to make a big deal out of it, so I kept quiet. In that situation, the moment I saw you, I had a feeling. That you would be the sacrificial omega.”

At the word “sacrificial,” Idam lowered his head. The tears he had been trying to hold back rolled down his cheeks.

“That’s why I felt drawn to you.”

Rickdi, answering dejectedly, pulled out a tissue and gave it to Idam. Idam quietly wiped his tears with the tissue and held his breath.

“That family is really vile. And they’re persistent too. Taemin even involved Jang Hayun to use you.”

He seemed to be referring to when Taemin kidnapped Hayun and sent him to Heo Jitae. It was also the decisive moment that made Idam’s heart turn away from Taemin. As Idam recalled the memory of that day with a heavy heart, he suddenly became curious.

“But… how do you know about that?”

“I learned it through an acquaintance.”

“An acquaintance?”

“Yes. I tend to want to know everything when I become interested in something.”

Rickdi suddenly stared at Idam with a strange look. It felt like a well-oiled gear had suddenly popped out. Then Rickdi slightly changed the subject.

“Above all, what angers me is the attitude they take when they have an omega. They whisper fake love. It’s probably because pheromones are influenced by psychological effects, but I find it too much. So I expected that Taemin would also feign emotions and use Yeo Idam.”

“Huh?”

Idam was puzzled.

According to Rickdi, when Idam confessed, Taemin should have accepted him, even if falsely. It would have been better for using him. But he drew a line, saying it was just a contractual relationship. Why did he do that? Trying to understand made him feel more drained.

“From now on, don’t be fooled no matter what sweet words Taemin says. They’re all lies.”

“Yes…”

No matter what, the fact that Idam was just a tool for Taemin remained unchanged. In this situation, he was at a loss about what to do with the baby that had been conceived. Feeling complicated, Idam unconsciously touched his abdomen.

“I saw you going to the obstetrics and gynecology department earlier… May I ask why you visited?”

Rickdi, seeming to have sensed something from Idam’s movement, fixed his gaze. Realizing his mistake, Idam quickly put his hand back on the table.

“I thought there might be something wrong with my pheromone glands.”

Even though Rickdi had provided information about Taemin’s family, Idam didn’t want to easily disclose the significant fact of his pregnancy. Moreover, he was planning to hide the child’s existence to avoid burdening Hayun, so he was even more reluctant.

“Really? Shouldn’t you go to an omega specialist then?”

“There wasn’t an omega specialist nearby, and I heard that obstetrics and gynecology departments also do pheromone level tests, so I went there.”

This was actually information he had heard from an omega friend when he was working part-time at a meat restaurant before.

“I see. I didn’t know that.”

Rickdi smiled as if he had encountered unfamiliar information. Then he took out his phone from his pocket and looked at the screen. His eyes suddenly widened in surprise, and he made a call.

“Yes, Jang Hayun. I just checked my phone now.”

When Hayun’s name came out of Rickdi’s mouth, Idam’s ears perked up. Rickdi seemed to be talking quite comfortably with Hayun. It appeared that the distance between the two had narrowed more than Idam knew. After finishing the call, Rickdi had a smile on his face.

“It seems Hayun really misses you now. He’s telling me to bring you back quickly.”

“Yes… I think I should go now.”

Although Idam was hesitant about continuing to stay with Hayun, when he heard that Hayun was looking for him, he felt he should return quickly. Idam stood up, leaving the empty teacup on the table.

Rickdi closely observed the teacup Idam had drunk from, especially the part where Idam’s lips had touched. His gaze was somewhat sultry, but Idam didn’t notice. Rickdi’s expression, which had been gloomy for a moment, regained its polite demeanor.

“Then, I’ll take you back.”

“Ah… I can take a taxi…”

“No, I brought you here, so I should take responsibility until the end. Besides, it’s hard to catch a taxi here.”

“Okay… Then I’ll accept your offer.”

Even Idam thought it would be difficult to catch a taxi in this remote location.

“Then, I have some documents to look over briefly, so could you wait outside first?”

“Ah… yes.”

Idam left the office. At the same time, Rickdi’s expression instantly cooled. He approached the teacup Idam had drunk from, looking at it meaningfully, and picked it up. Then he put his lips where Idam’s had been and sucked greedily, as if he were savoring Idam’s lips. Eventually, he returned to his gentlemanly expression, put the teacup back in its original place, and left the office.

“They’re still not showing up?”

Secretary Kang muttered, looking out the car window. Taemin, also looking concerned, gazed outside before leaning back in his seat.

“That little one doesn’t have anywhere else to go besides here…”

Taemin tilted his head as if he couldn’t believe his guess was wrong.

As far as he knew, Yeo Idam had a very narrow circle of relationships. Strictly speaking, Hayun was all he had. Although he had a good relationship with the teachers from his orphanage days, he didn’t particularly keep in touch after leaving. Moreover, Taemin himself was in a state of backlogged work and couldn’t stay put indefinitely.

“I think I should go to the company.”

“Yes, I underst— Oh?”

Secretary Kang’s eyes widened. A bright red sports car had pulled up in front of the house.

Soon after, the car door opened and Idam got out. Following him, Rickdi also got out of the driver’s seat. They could see the two talking face to face.

“Huh? What’s this? Why is Mr. Rickdi with the madam?”

Secretary Kang felt like he was watching a scene from a makjang drama.

“What?”

Taemin’s brow furrowed as well. He immediately got out of the car and approached the two.
