WONYOUNG thought Yun Dujun’s house was already a symbol of money and power.
However, when they arrived at Yun Hyuk’s house, he thought he had discovered a whole new world.
Wow.
My Alpha father-in-law is really a very successful tech mogul...
The mansion the chairman of Naville Corporation lived in was an ultra-modern house with a state-of-the-art design.
It was impressive.
My father-in-law’s house is just a five-minute walk away from Dujun Hyung’s house, and yet the difference between their houses is vast.
Anyway, Wonyoung and Yun Dujun went to his father-in-law’s house for lunch.
An Baekya is still in his acting class.
"Wonyoung-ah, do you like Abeoji’s house that much?"
"Yes, Hyung," Wonyoung said without missing a beat, his eyes still wandering around the very chic mansion. "This is my style. Whoever designed this house is a genius."
"Thank you, Wonyoung-ah."
Huh?
Wonyoung was surprised when Han Hyunjin, his Omega father-in-law, thanked him.
And that was when it clicked for him.
"Appa, you’re the architect who designed this house?"
"That’s right," Han Hyunjin said, smiling while nodding. "Do you want me to give you a house tour while the chef and the kitchen staff members are still preparing our lunch?"
"Yes, Appa!" Wonyoung said excitedly, and then he turned to Yun Dujun. "Hyung, do you want to join us?"
"No, thank you," Yun Dujun declined politely. "Abeoji and I need to talk about what happened on the plane." The Alpha then turned to Han Hyunjin. "Uncle, please look after my husband."
Han Hyunjin nodded. "Of course, I will."

"THIS MANSION was a gift that my husband gave to me after his infidelity."
Wonyoung almost choked on his saliva because of Han Hyunjin’s revelation while they were leisurely strolling through the mansion’s lobby.
Oh, my.
He was busy admiring the soaring ceilings and seven-foot-tall chandelier when his Omega father-in-law dropped the ’bomb’ on him.
Is it really okay for me to hear this?
"As you already know, Yun Dujun’s mother forced herself on my husband after drugging him," Han Hyunjin said calmly. "At the time, even though I knew my husband was a victim of sexual assault, I couldn’t help but be mad at him— especially after I found out that Kang Chunja got pregnant."
Oh.
Well, I understand Appa. Even though my father-in-law was a victim, Appa still felt betrayed because his husband got a woman pregnant.
"I told my husband that I would only forgive him if Kang Chunja aborted the child," Han Hyunjin continued with the story. "But my father-in-law and the shaman protected Kang Chunja. Do you know what my husband did then? He tried to kill Kang Chunja."
Hmm?
To be honest, Wonyoung wasn’t sure what to feel about that, so he just kept quiet.
I understand why Appa and Father-in-law wanted the baby gone. But that’s Dujun Hyung.
Anyway, since Kang Chunja survived and Yun Dujun was born into the world, he didn’t feel the need to say something.
Plus, I wasn’t born yet when it happened, so they don’t need my opinion.
"But Kang Chunja’s luck was at its peak when she was pregnant with Yun Dujun," Han Hyunjin said. "My husband pushed her off the stairs. But Kang Chunja managed to grab the railing. Meanwhile, my husband tripped and fell down the stairs. Well, he was drunk at the time, and that was why he had the urge to kill Kang Chunja that night. Even so, it was still amazing how Kang Chunja was left unscathed while my husband suffered a serious head injury. In fact, he fell into a comatose state for a week because of that incident. According to the shaman, that was my husband’s karma for trying to kill Kang Chunja."
"Do you believe that, Appa?"
"I don’t believe in the shaman, but I believe it was our karma for trying to kill an unborn child," Han Hyunjin said, smiling bitterly. "While my husband was in a coma, that was when I snapped out of my misery. I finally accepted the fact that my husband was a victim, and so was the unborn baby that we tried to kill."
That was right.
Dujun Hyung didn’t ask to be born in this world.
"When my husband woke up from his week-long coma, I told him I would only forgive him once he built my dream house for me," Han Hyunjin continued with his story. "After that, I flew to Europe with Inyeop. My son and I stayed there until this house was completed. If I remember correctly, it took three or four years before this mansion was built."
"Appa and Father-in-law were separated for that long?"
"Yes, Wonyoung-ah. I knew that the house I designed would take time to be built. And that’s exactly why I told my husband that I would only return once my dream house was completed. We needed time for us to heal first, separately, before getting back together. It wasn’t easy, but my husband and I slowly fixed our marriage after that."
Ah, so that was the story of that mansion.
"I asked my husband to build this house, but turning this place into a warm house wasn’t easy," Han Hyunjin said, smiling proudly when they reached the kitchen. "But here we are now."
Oh, wow.
The ultra-contemporary kitchen with its huge central island was sleek, and it also featured industrial-grade appliances. Plus, the large dining area opened out to wrap-around terracing with a beautiful view.
"Wonyoung-ah, if ever Yun Dujun makes you angry, don’t hesitate to come to me. I’ll help you design your dream house," Han Hyunjin said in a serious tone. "I know Yun Dujun has a lot of properties. But nothing beats a house that you designed yourself."
Of course, Wonyoung just laughed it off.
He didn’t think he was that greedy to want a house like that.
However, he kind of changed his mind when they took the elevator and reached the lower level of the mansion.
Is this still a house?
There was a state-of-the-art movie theatre with cushy sofas, a golf simulator, spacious game rooms, a wine-tasting room, and a world-class spa room.
Yes, there’s a spa here.
Wow.
Plus, there was also a well-equipped fitness center.
"Appa, do you think Dujun Hyung can afford to build me a house like this?"
Han Hyunjin laughed at Wonyoung’s silly question. "My husband may have neglected Yun Dujun growing up. But, rest assured, my husband supported him financially. Moreover, your husband is an A-list actor, Wonyoung-ah. I’m sure he can afford a house like this for you."
Wonyoung realized that he had greed in his heart when they reached the mansion’s third floor.
It was reserved for the seven en-suite bedrooms.
Once again, he was mesmerized.
The soaring angled ceiling and huge windows that opened on to a private deck were both beautiful. Of course, the master bath was just as impressive. It had its open shower and stand-alone tub in front of another floor-to-ceiling picture window.
Since when did my taste become this fancy?
Wonyoung was totally sold when they reached the stairs that led up to an expansive roof terrace with frameless glass balustrades.
The view there was just as expensive as the entire mansion because of its beauty.
But that was only his second most favorite part of the house.
His most favorite area would be the lower level that opened out onto yet another large terrace with a stunning infinity-edge pool with a shallow shelf. Plus, it had a large seating area.
"Appa, your house is really beautiful."
"Tell me about your dream house, Wonyuoung-ah" Han Hyunjin said, smiling. ’I’ll help you design it."
Wonyoung laughed softly. "Should we make Dujun Hyung go bankrupt, Appa?"
***
"DID YOU enjoy your house tour with Uncle Hyunjin?"
Wonyoung smiled and nodded at Yun Dujun’s question.
Right now, the two of them were resting in the Alpha’s bedroom after having a hearty lunch with his in-laws.
We’re just waiting for the shaman.
Wonyoung was starting to get sleepy, though.
This is the room Dujun Hyung uses when he comes over, so everything here smells like him.
Hence, he felt relaxed there.
Especially since Wonyoung and Yun Dujun were lying on the bed, and he was using the Alpha’s chest as a pillow.
"I didn’t know that Appa was a world-class architect."
"Well, Uncle Hyunjin is already retired, so he doesn’t talk much about his career."
"Appa said he’ll come out of his retirement to help me build my dream house," Wonyoung said, and then he looked at Yun Dujun. "Hyung, you should work harder and earn more money from now on. My dream house isn’t going to be cheap."
"One day, I’m going to show you my bank account, just so you’d stop doubting my ability to provide you a luxury life."
"Oh, you sound confident."
"I am."
Wonyoung chuckled, and then he got serious. "Hyung, do you know that your father tried to kill your pregnant mother before?"
"Yes, I’ve heard about that story ever since I was a child," Yun Dujun said in a sarcastic way, but that sarcasm wasn’t directed at Wonyoung. "My mother was proud that her luck saved us, and that it was the reason Abeoji stopped bothering him. That was the moment Eomma realized the power she had over the family since the shaman was on her side."
"Why would your mother be so proud of that moment that she’d brag about it to you? It must have been a tragic moment for you when you found out."
"Tragic?"
"Because you found out early that your own father wanted you dead."
"Wait, are you crying?"
Dammit.
To be honest, Wonyoung distracted himself with the mansion’s beautiful interior while Han Hyunjin was telling that sad story.
After all, he didn’t want to cry.
But, now that he was alone with Yun Dujun, he couldn’t help it anymore.
"Hyung, you must have felt that you shouldn’t have been born in this world because of the bad adults around you while growing up. But I’m still glad that you were born," Wonyoung said, covering his face with his hands because he didn’t want Yun Dujun to see him ugly crying. "Dujun Hyung, I’ll give you all the love you didn’t get as a child— I’ll love you so much to the point you won’t crave love from anyone else ever again."
***
WONYOUNG is crying for me while professing his undying love.
It was a surreal feeling for Yun Dujun.
Of course, he knew that Bae Wonyoung liked him.
And he felt the same.
However, at that moment, he felt a sudden shift in his feelings.
In a positive way, of course.
Is it possible to like someone this much?
