Chapter 173: TEST OF LUCK (1)

"BAEKYA, Semin-ah!"

Yun Dujun watched as Song Gunwoo, Song Sihyuk’s one and only son and the sole heir to SG Group, took An Baekya and Jeong Semin by the hand.

It seemed like the chaebol kid wanted to give An Baekya and Jeong Semin a house tour.

The villa on Song Sihyuk’s island was as fancy as one you’d expect from a chaebol.

It wouldn’t be that creepy if the island actually showed on the map, though.

Yeah, Sihyuk-ssi’s private island doesn’t really show on the map unless you put the name directly on NAVI Maps.

As the son of the person who created NAVI Maps, Yun Dujun’s pride was hurt.

So, there are places in Korea that ordinary people don’t have the right to know about.

"Why do you look upset, Yun Dujun?" Song Sihyuk asked curiously. "Are you dissatisfied with something?"

Should he be honest?

Well, here goes nothing.

"My father created NAVI Maps— the map that almost our country’s entire population uses. Even foreigners can’t navigate South Korea without NAVI Maps."

"True. Even I use your father’s company’s app."

"So, it’s upsetting to know that there are places in our country that NAVI Maps can’t show."

Song Sihyuk chuckled. "It can show you the place if you know the name of the island. After all, my private island is still recognized by the government."

"It’s illegal to own private islands here."

"That rule only applies to commoners like you, unfortunately."

Yeah, of course.

Chaebols are practically royalty.

"Anyway, Lee Heeju’s private island isn’t that far from here. And I’m sure they already know that you’ve arrived," Song Sihyuk said casually. "You’ll probably get a call later. For now, let’s have a meal. The kids must be hungry, too."

Yun Dujun nodded.

He wasn’t really starving, but the kids must be.

We ate on the plane earlier, but boys that age are always hungry.

Hence, Yun Dujun and Song Sihyuk headed straight to the dining hall.

A few moments later, the kids arrived with the nannies.

As soon as everyone was seated at the long dining table, the household staff members began putting out different delicious meals one by one.

It didn’t take long before the entire table was filled with different varieties of food.

Yun Dujun also noticed that most of the dishes were food that children typically liked, like fried chicken and pork cutlet.

Anyway, he noticed that the staff members there moved efficiently.

And no one dares to lift their heads, or even glance in Song Sihyuk’s direction.

Clearly, the staff members were afraid of their own master.

Well, Sihyuk-ssi is intimidating.

"Wait, hyung."

Hmm?

Everyone looked at Song Gunwoo, the chaebol heir, when the kid suddenly grabbed the arm of the young male staff member who had just put a plate of bulgogi near Jeong Semin’s plate.

It so happened that Song Gunwoo and Jeong Semin were sitting next to each other.

"W-What is it, Young Master?"

"Hyung, you smell weird," Song Gunwoo said, smiling ’innocently.’ The chaebol heir’s eyes looked pretty cold for a kid, though. "And so does the food that you just served."

Yun Dujun was confused.

And he got even more confused when Song Sihyuk cursed under his breath before getting up from his seat.

"L-Let go!"

Yun Dujun’s eyes widened in shock when the male staff suddenly pulled his hand away from Song Gunwoo’s grasp a little roughly.

As a result, the male staff ended up elbowing the chaebol kid in the face pretty hard.

Hence, Song Gunwoo’s nose bled instantly.

"HOW DARE YOU?!"

Yun Dujun flinched when Song Sihyuk’s angry voice echoed in the hall at the same time the older Alpha’s stinky pheromones exploded in the air.

Argh!

Even as a Dominant Alpha, he was still affected by Song Sihyuk’s pheromones.

Still, Yun Dujun immediately got up from his seat and gathered An Baekya, Jeong Semin, and the injured Song Gunwoo close to him while Song Sihyuk grabbed the suspicious male staff member by the nape.

Before the bodyguards could come running to the dining hall, Song Sihyuk was already beating the assailant to a pulp.

I can understand Sihyuk-ssi’s anger, but this is still too violent for the children...

"Kids, close your eyes," Yun Dujun said calmly, taking a deep breath to get rid of Song Sihyuk’s stinky pheromones that attacked his nose. "Gunwoo-ya, let me check your injury."

***

AN BAEKYA thought it was lucky that they were attacked in Song Sihyuk’s villa.

Of course, he wasn’t happy that Song Gunwoo was slightly injured.

But...

"This means Song Sihyuk has a personal ’favor’ he’d like to return to Lee Heeju," Jeong Semin whispered while they were sitting together on the sofa, watching while the doctor (yes, there was a team of elite medical staff on standby) treat Song Gunwoo’s nose injury. "We got lucky, Baekya— that scary chaebol will now help us directly."

"I know," An Baekya whispered back, looking at Jeong Semin in bewilderment. "It seems like you really got Appa’s luck."

And that kind of made An Baekya worry.

Did Semin Hyung really absorb all of Appa’s luck?

"IT’S OBVIOUSLY a trap to lure you out."

Wonyoung nodded in agreement with what Han Hyujin, his Omega father-in-law, said.

Right now, he was having a strategic meeting with his in-laws in the reception room while having tea and snacks.

I’m glad they’re taking this seriously.

And, fortunately, the kids didn’t insist on clinging to them.

Yun Yuhyun and Yun Yunchae were busy in the playroom, guarded by Aunt Rosa and Uncle George.

"But this trap is full of holes," Kang Chaein, Wonyoung’s sister-in-law, said worriedly. "They know that we can easily check whether Wonyoung’s cousin was kidnapped or not. So, why would they tell a blatant lie like that?"

"That’s what I’m thinking, too," Han Hyunjin agreed while nodding. "Even so, we cannot ignore this."

"To be fair, Sung Mingi didn’t say that he was kidnapped with my cousin," Wonyoung said. He couldn’t think straight earlier because he was too worried about Bae Gayoung. But now that he was calm, only then did he realize the things that he missed. "I didn’t get to ask who was with him because my brain automatically assumed that Gayoung had been kidnapped with him. Plus, the call ended while he was just starting to explain."

His in-laws gave him a look that almost said, ’why only say it now?’

That made him feel embarrassed.

So stupid of me.

"I’m sorry, Appa, Sister-in-law," Wonyoung said, already feeling so stupid for forgetting something as important as that. "I sometimes get scatterbrained when I’m in a panic."

"It’s alright, Wonyoung-ah," his Omega father-in-law assured him. "At least, you didn’t leave the house to tray and save your cousin’s boyfriend on your own. You also have the wits to call us and ask for our help instead of taking the burden alone."

His sister-in-law nodded. "You did well, Wonyoung-ah."

Aww.

Wonyoung forgot about his embarrassment, thanks to his in-law’s encouraging words. "Thank you, Appa, Sister-in-law."

"Since the call ended abruptly, they might call you again," his Omega father-in-law said. "If they do, calm down and listen to them first. Don’t provoke them. Pretend that you’ll cooperate with them without a fuss."

"If they ask you to go somewhere, tell them you’ll come," Kang Chaein said firmly. "But, of course, we won’t be sending you to the location. We can find a bodyguard who has the same built as you. They just have to resemble you a little. If they wear a hat and a face mask, we might deceive the kidnapper."

Wonyoung nodded since his sister-in-law’s idea sounded brilliant.

Yeah, I don’t have to go to the location myself.

It was a relief that his in-laws had the resources to find a person who could act as his double.

Anyway, as if on cue, his phone vibrated a moment later.

But instead of a call, he received a picture this time.

And when he checked the image that he received...

"What’s wrong, Wonyoung-ah?" Kang Chaein asked worriedly. "You suddenly went pale."

"I-I already know who got kidnapped along with Sung Mingi, Sister-in-law, Appa," Wonyoung said in a weak, trembling voice. Then he raised his phone with a shaking hand to show his in-laws the photo that he just got. "It’s C-Coach Kwon Taeyoon and the k-kids from Baekya’s acting academy."
