Tensegrity

Junkyung spent two weeks just eating the finest food and sleeping without going out. To his surprise, his tangled mind became clear.

The problem didn't go away but more like a cloud of dust that calmly settled after a gust of wind. Still, there was no harm in living.

When at the time he gave up becoming an athlete in judo because of his sudden manifestation as an omega, he was like this back then as well with repeatedly eating and just sleeping. Then later, he decided that he can't keep on living like this and got up.

According to his parents, it's because his nature is dull. After that, he decided to become a bodyguard by using his athletic experiences and physical strength. He's been working hard so far. He decided to not marry anyone because of his anguish over his gender identity.

Now, something similar is happening. He can't face reality. He is too ordinary for a person to face such a dilemma. He knows that there is only one option, but he needed psychological leeway to accept this reality. Executive Director Min waited patiently without any fuss in the middle and of course with a packed lunch.

Jun-Kyung picked up the phone and pressed the button. Director Min answered before the signal went through twice.

"Hello, how are you? Am I in the way?" Junkyung suddenly realized Executive Director Min was in the middle of working, so he apologized first. It was his reflex working as an employee to an employer.

"No matter how busy I am, I can always answer Junkyung's call." Director Min reassured him.

"It's about what you said before."

"Yes?"

"Did the president and madam give permission for that? Not about the child but about Managing director and I.....I think it will require the elder's permission."

"I haven't told them yet. If Jun-Kyung makes a decision, I will take an immediate action in that regard. You don't have to worry too much." That means that Executive Director Min is waiting for Junkyung's decision without telling anyone about an issue that is very important to the Taewon group. This also means that this is an issue that must be maneuvered delicately instead of being as detailed. If this issue is bring up so suddenly, people will come back asking what kind of bullshit this is.

"I have another question."

"Yes?"

"Even if we have a child, you only need to put it in the family register....so, anyway, it's only natural for the president and his wife to be involved in education and parental authority over various things....you can be involved as much as you want and I will follow your advice whenever possible so........"

It was very difficult to get the words out. In the midst of this and that, Executive Director Min cut off his words "What is it that you really want to ask?"

Junkyung didn't want any confusion in this matter. His face that had become hot for some reason finally spoke in a calm tone "Do you really need to marry me? I think he will be a big burden to Executive Director Min."

"You don't have to worry about that. If I get married, we will live together without the interference of others. Naturally, it is not strange that I have many obligations and rights related to the president and madam. It is also good for the child. There are also others, but we'll talk about them slowly when the time comes."

There are some cases in which marriage is deliberately chosen to raise a child in this type of situation. After marriage, they can easily enjoy parental authority if they report themselves as parents. Moreover, considering the child, marriage is better. If their goal is to have children, marriage is simpler in many ways than a court battle.

But do chaebols usually do this? This question still remains. Particularly, the spouse is as important as the children, and in modern times, arranged marriage is not common. Marrying an ordinary man, omega former bodyguard because of a child that isn't even his own? Would the successor to the company do that?

As Junkyung work as a bodyguard, he gained a lot of experiences about the elite family, but it was difficult to judge because this was the first time this had happened to him. There was also one more thing that puzzled Junkyung.

"We live together?"

"Are there any difficulties with that?"

"ahhh..." To be honest, it was more "I don't know because I haven't lived with anyone yet" but there was no need to bring out all of his true feelings.

"Then I will assume that you agree with my proposal."

"I haven't said anything to my family yet. I honestly don't know what to say. I might say something that I didn't mean and then something might go wrong later." If Junkyung say he has a child suddenly, his parents would ask in great detail about who, when, where, and how the child comes about and what he will do next.

He has no idea where to begin. As someone who's not good at lying, just imagining it give him a headache.

What if by mistake the parents even know about the child's biological father? His mother will slap him on the spot. He has to fine-tune the details with Executive Director Min in advance. Of course even deceiving the strict president and the attentive wife, guilt pressed against his heart.

"Let's meet and discuss the matter of greeting both families in detail."

"Yes."

Although Junkyung accepted Director Min's proposal, he was still puzzled by unfamiliar concepts because he wasn't mentally prepared yet.

"Do you have any plans this evening?"

Of course not.

"I will send you a car on time."

Like an idiot, he shook his head without realizing it.The difficult call with Executive Director Min ended relatively easy. He wasn't aware, but the arm that put the phone down was numb as he was nervous throughout the conversation. He slowly got up from the seat and relaxed his body. He started cleaning his house. After showering and drying his hair, it was almost dinner time.

"I sent the car. It will arrive in 30 minutes." The message arrived 30 minutes ago, so it was perfect to get dressed now.

Director Min was not the driver. Like Jun-Kyung, the driver was an assistant who worked for Taewon. Even though they weren't close, they ate lunch and chatted occasionally, so he called him Hyung. Junkyung was happy to see him after a long time.

"Hi, hyung."

He bowed his head politely at Junkyung's light greeting. "It's an honor to drive you to the appointed location." With a polite greeting according to the textbook, the driver opened the back seat door. Confused, Junkyung quickly grabbed the door of the passenger seat and declined. "Here, I can do it myself. You don't have to be so rigid."

"The Executive Director told me to treat with you with respect and not to be rude." The driver recommended the backseat with a gentle yet stubborn attitude.

"Then excuse me" They were originally working together but now that their position switched, the atmosphere was tense. Junkyung looked at the back of the head of the man holding the steering wheel, hoping that he would say something, but the driver only focused on driving.

"There aren't as many cars as I thought." Junkyung broke the silence.

"That's because it's just before rush hour."

"Hyung, you can talk to me comfortably."

"Yes, I understand." The answer that came back was still in respectful language. Their eyes met through the rearview mirror. The staff smiled at Junkyung who was uncomfortable and didn't know what to do. The silence resumed until they reached the destination.

Junkyung has been to this hotel before. A high-end hotel located close to the university and a large gymnasium. He thought it would just be a restaurant.

"Mr. Jun-Kyung." As  soon as he entered the lobby, Executive Director Min appeared. The eyes of the people in the lobby naturally turned to him. Tall with wide shoulders and a handsome but cold impression. In addition, the luxurious suit was recognized at a glance by anyone. Some even seemed to recognize who he was. He was seen frequently in the news as the successor of a famous group.

Junkyung arrived 5 minutes earlier than the promised time, but since he made Executive Director Min wait, of course, he has to apologize.

"I apologize for being late."

"It was I who was early. No need to apologize." Executive Director Min reached out his hand to Junkyung who was about to bow his head to prevent him from doing so. A large hand quickly touched Junkyung's lower back. Junkyung looked at him slightly startle and turned his gaze to the front. His temples were hot.

"This is it." The successor of the famous group, famous for being a single alpha, not only comes out to the hotel lobby to wait but personally escorts the young man. They might wonder who the person is. Even a person with a poor imagination can speculate what type of relationship they have. The heat in his temples spread to his ears.

Executive Director Min probably doesn't even notice. Maybe he's doing it on purpose? It's better to spread a rumor like this than suddenly announcing the appearance of a pregnant Omega. Even rationalizing it doesn't alleviate his embarrassment. He felt a slight sense of shame by how the public might view the omega in question.

Fortunately, it was easy to get to the elevator. The elevator was for VIPs only and not for general guests. Executive Director Min led Jun-Kyung to the highest-class room in the hotel.
