If You Want Me - Episode 113
<Episode 113>
Seo-won doesn’t think that he is someone with special abilities, or that he can dare to save Do-gyeom’s life.
However, he thought he could see Do-gyeom as a human being. The thought that being with him might be better for Do-gyeom became stronger. Although he was usually timid, his desire to protect Do-gyeom was that strong now.
As Seo-won silently clenched his fists tightly, the chairman continued.
“And the reason I don’t ask what kind of person you are is because there are more than enough good people among wealthy dominant omegas with solid backgrounds.”
“…But if Hyung wanted such a partner, there would be no reason to refuse arranged marriages, right?”
Seo-won wasn’t denying that there were good people among wealthy dominant omegas right now. The problem was that Do-gyeom liked someone else, but they kept trying to set him up with other omegas.
When Seo-won replied coldly and looked at Do-gyeom, he nodded. As Do-gyeom agreed, the chairman looked at the two with an astonished gaze and opened his mouth.
“That kid still doesn’t know anything. It’s because his judgment is clouded by the one-sided imprint right now, but once the situation is sorted out, it will be resolved immediately.”
The chairman responded as if Seo-won and Do-gyeom would never have met if Do-gyeom hadn’t imprinted on him one-sidedly.
Seo-won also had something to say about this, so he opened his mouth, but Do-gyeom’s rebuttal was faster than his words coming out. He couldn’t stand listening anymore and refuted.
“Father, it hasn’t even been a few months since I imprinted on Seo-won. The reason I’ve been refusing arranged marriages all along is that I don’t want a marriage that only looks at background.”
“You lacking fool…! What is there not to like about meeting a dominant omega from a good family who received a good education?!”
The chairman seemed to find out for the first time how long it had been since Do-gyeom imprinted on Seo-won, and he raised his voice a bit with an incomprehensible face. Even though the chairman kept arranging marriage meetings, it seemed he had never been curious about the reason Do-gyeom refused them.
At that, Do-gyeom exhaled a small breath and conveyed his opinion seriously.
“Being smart and from a good family? That’s great. But as I’ve said repeatedly, I don’t want or need that. I’m doing well, so why bother? And I have no intention whatsoever of getting married according to your standards.”
Do-gyeom spoke indifferently as if repeating the same thing several times was meaningless, then looked straight at the chairman as if he had something to say and continued.
“Listening to this, it seems the successor issue is bigger than trying to merge with another company… Father, why don’t you just freeze your sperm? You’re still healthy, aren’t you?”
“You punk! Is that something to say to your parents?!”
“Even if you persuade me a hundred times, my answer will be the same. I have absolutely no intention of having a relationship or making a child with anyone other than Seo-won.”
When Do-gyeom spoke sarcastically, raising one corner of his mouth slightly, the chairman’s face turned red and blue. Since he had a history of even having a half-sibling before, he seemed to react more strongly because it stung.
The chairman couldn’t quell his anger just by raising his voice, so he gulped down cold water. He seemed to be trying to calm his boiling insides.
Looking at him, Do-gyeom also drank a sip of water as if to catch his breath, then put the cup down and continued.
“If you hate seeing me like this, you can cut off all support for me. You can even hand over my position to Chaeyeon. Though I don’t know if Chaeyeon, being a recessive omega, can give birth to the dominant child you want.”
“Do-gyeom! What are you saying! Honey, he’s just saying that because he’s agitated. You know he doesn’t mean it, right?”
Madam, who had been still throughout the meal, was startled and dissuaded Do-gyeom. At the same time, she was also trying to appease the chairman whose face was turning red and blue.
Although Madam gave Do-gyeom a pitiful look, telling him not to say such things, he ignored that gaze even though he noticed it. He stared at the chairman as if he couldn’t back down like this and opened his mouth.
“I know that Father’s influence was there until I became the executive director. So if you’re going to cast me out, just give me the bonus for the results I produced after becoming the executive director. That’s all I need.”
“Huh… Seeing you do something you’ve never done before, you must have gone completely crazy.”
The chairman’s complexion had returned as he calmed down a bit after drinking water, but he still laughed hollowly as if he couldn’t understand Do-gyeom.
Seeing the situation not improving easily, Seo-won seemed to understand why Do-gyeom acted as if his parents’ permission was not important. Because no matter what thoughts Do-gyeom had or what opinions he presented, they would firmly say it was not possible.
It seemed that trying to get permission from the two of them in one day was too greedy. It seemed they should go back for today. At this rate, it would only increase their rebelliousness.
As Seo-won put strength into the hand holding Do-gyeom to tell him to stop, the chairman let out a deep sigh as if the ground would sink and brought up an irrelevant remark.
“No, it’s not that you’re crazy, but this might be your true personality. You followed my words well, unlike your personality.”
“…”
“Every time I saw your eyes, I thought you would cause trouble someday. But I didn’t know you would do this just to meet this kind of child.”
The chairman spoke as if he had expected that Do-gyeom would not listen to him forever and would rebel someday. Yet he looked at Do-gyeom as if he had no ambition, as if asking if he had been waiting for an opportunity just to do this.
A suffocating confrontation continued between Do-gyeom and the chairman. Seo-won felt that avoiding it seemed to worsen the situation, so he had planned to persuade the chairman as much as possible today. But contrary to his intention, the situation seemed to be getting worse.
It seemed he shouldn’t agitate the chairman’s temper any further. As Seo-won tried to stop Do-gyeom, the chairman turned his gaze towards the living room and opened his mouth.
“Come out.”
Suddenly, hulking men in black suits ironed with knife-sharp creases barged in. At a glance, there seemed to be more than a dozen people. No matter how large the mansion was, it was crowded with agent-like hulks blocking the way.
Where did these people suddenly come from? Before Seo-won and Do-gyeom could figure out what was going on, the hulks grabbed Do-gyeom and lifted him from his seat.
“What the…!”
Because Do-gyeom resisted being forcibly lifted, the dining chair he was sitting on fell backwards.
As Do-gyeom’s eyes widened with both arms grabbed, the chairman spoke in an indifferent voice.
“Lock him up in the room.”
“Father!”
“Stay in the room until you change your mind.”
“Let me go!”
When Do-gyeom violently resisted and twisted his body, the two men holding him shook as if having a hard time. Although he seemed to shake them off like that, a few more hulks next to him rushed at Do-gyeom and stopped him, and he was caught again.
Do-gyeom growled, asking what they were doing, but the men took Do-gyeom to the second floor without answering. Madam looked at Do-gyeom with a pale face and wiped her face with her palm as if it was devastating.
Come to think of it, Madam was unusually quiet today, so I had guessed it was because the chairman was next to her. But that wasn’t it, and the thought occurred that maybe she had anticipated this situation. Knowing that if she also pushed Do-gyeom, he would rebel like this and the chairman would be angry…
As Seo-won got up from his seat to follow Do-gyeom, who was being forcibly dragged away, the chairman shifted his gaze to Seo-won this time.
“You should leave now too.”
“…Pardon?”
“Will you go on your own feet, or will you be dragged out?”
The chairman spoke as if giving a choice, but the result was the same no matter what he chose.
When Seo-won didn’t choose either, just clenching his fists, the chairman wiped his lips with a napkin and spoke.
“Kick him out.”
“Yes.”
At the short command, two large men approached Seo-won.
Just as they did to Do-gyeom, they each put an arm under Seo-won’s armpits and forcibly dragged Seo-won out of the mansion.
The two hulks dragged Seo-won out to the gate and slammed the large iron gate shut. Left alone outside, Seo-won looked at the mansion with a dumbfounded face.
“…What is this?”
What just happened? Putting aside that he was dragged out of the mansion, what will happen to Hyung? Could it be that he’s being confined in this mansion?
He took out his cell phone with trembling hands and waited outside after reporting it, but even after the police arrived, he couldn’t get any satisfactory results.
The police who entered the mansion and came out spoke to Seo-won in a difficult voice.
“They said it’s just a trouble that occurs between family members, so don’t worry too much and go inside.”
“It’s not that kind of trouble. I’m telling you, Young Master is really confined!”
“Sigh… I’m telling you. It’s just a moderate disciplinary measure, and they said they’ll let him out soon. There’s nothing more we can do. It’s troublesome for us too if you report this kind of thing.”
“…”
No, it’s not the kind of thing that commonly happens between family members…
Seo-won looked at the police with a face that had a lot to say, thinking that they didn’t properly investigate, but the police got into the police car as if avoiding it and left quickly. It also seemed like they were running away before getting involved in a troublesome matter, as Madam and the chairman were people who couldn’t be messed with recklessly.
With even the police he trusted not helping, there was really no way. Seo-won took out his cell phone and looked at the history of messages he had exchanged with him before. He had sent a message to Do-gyeom while waiting for the police earlier, but there was no answer from him. Had his cell phone been confiscated too?
He felt so powerless, unable to help with anything.
