Chapter 148 - Meeting The Kims 1

'I'm gonna have to skip dinner-' Wonho looks over at the alpha who is speaking on the phone, finding an excuse as to why he cannot make it to their monthly family dinner. He can hear the voice from the other end of the line nagging Minwoo as his alpha holds the back of his neck while leaning against the kitchen counter, oblivious of his presence.

Taking a seat on the couch, and grabbing the magazine, Wonho sighs.

Before deciding to come back and find Minwoo, he did a lot of thinking whether the noble would be the most suitable alpha for him, be it his personality, his lifestyle or his family. He already knows about the first two, at least, the Minwoo before their break, but he never know about the Kim. Because he never thought they would matter. Besides the fact the the nobles would be rich and well-known, he knows almost nothing.

Based on his research, the noble Kims own a lot of large companies but Minwoo's family in particular are owners of the largest pharmaceutical company in Korea. Which does not surprised him as much considering Minwoo is very interested in medicine and has a lot of knowledge on different types of drugs, even when he was a student. But frankly speaking, had Minwoo be the one to inherit the company, Wonho would have stopped himself from coming back, because he does not want to deal with the attention and drama that will come. Like in the Korean dramas. But apparently his two sisters are the next in-line, so Wonho figured that he will be okay. Because based on his experience being Minwoo's mate for the three years they were together, except for the allowance and family meals, the family is not really involved in Minwoo's life

Feeling the pressure on the sofa, Wonho turns to look at Minwoo who is now leaning against the back pillow. 'You could've said yes, you know.'

'It's orientation night. We're celebrating.' Wonho smirks at the answer. Minwoo insists on doing something that night as their anniversary or whatnot. Despite the night only meaning something to the alpha since it was the first time he met Wonho, and Wonho still had no idea about his existence then, that was the only day the man could think of that is not tied to any bad memories. The night of the bond was also the night of Wonho's attack, and the day they were together officially, Wonho only accepted because he had to. They never had any anniversary to celebrate.

'We can celebrate next year. The day I came to see you.'

'Nope. Then it'll be the first one. We're together for longer.'

'Whatever.' Wonho smiles. Flipping the pages of the magazine, the omega stops for a while. If they are celebrating, he should at least make sure the night is special for the both of them. It is the least that he can do, to celebrate the memory of their past.

Maybe… he should do it. Meet the Kims.

'Is your… family uh, friendly?' Wonho asks, pretending to still be interested in the magazine. He doesn't want Minwoo to get excited, just in case he decides not to do it. 

'Yup. Halmeoni can be a bit dramatic but she's a really sweet old lady. My mom and dad are, cool.' Minwoo answers casually, his hand randomly playing with Wonho's hair, 'My sis are annoying. I mean, you know.'

Wonho hums, he already knows about the sisters. Minwoo talks about them a lot back then. 'And the kids are really cute. They can run now so they're really naughty.'

'Sounds fun.'

Minwoo stops playing with the omega's hair and sits up properly, now curious. Wonho never asked him about his family, unless it was for the cats and dogs they own. Staring at the other who now looks nervous, Minwoo bites his lips. The timing for the question - right after he was on the phone about family dinner… could it be?

'Do you… wanna try meeting them?'

Silence. Minwoo can literally hear them breathing. 

'Is… the food gonna be good?'

He lets out a sigh of relief. 'Better than mine'

#####

Wonho can hear his own heartbeat, standing in front of the gate of the Kim's household. Sure he knows they are rich, but he didn't expect an estate. In Seoul. 

Damn, he really underestimated Minwoo.

God, he regrets everything. He should go back now.

No, he can't. He needs to do this. Minwoo did it for him back then, despite knowing how bad it could get, he should do the same for the alpha too. What is the worst the can happen anyway? Not water splashing, hopefully.

'You have maids.' Wonho mutters to himself, just to relax. He knows the man has a butler, so it is obvious he should have maids as well. But it just seems, too luxurious. Gosh, what is he getting himself into?

'Minwoo-yah!'

'Eomma!' Minwoo goes straight to the lady, hugging her tight before turning around and introduces her to Wonho. The latter can tell she had no idea about him based on her surprised expression. Holding himself from frowning, Wonho bows slightly, giving her the best smile he can give.

'Minu-samchon!' A few small, excited voices can be heard followed by footsteps before his alpha kneels down and opens his hands. And in a few seconds, three tiny alphas comes running straight into the hug. Minwoo then brings up one kid in each hands, enjoying their love for him.

'Who dat?' The tiniest one comments, pointing at Wonho. Minwoo looks at the omega, and proudly smiles, 'that's my boyfriend.'

'Omo, Wonho-yah, come on in!' Mrs. Kim finally invites, now noticing how they are just standing in front of the door. She guides them to the living room, and Wonho follows, slightly behind Minwoo. He can tell the alpha wants to be beside him, but the kids are not done with his attention just yet so Wonho lets them be. 

Sitting on the large sofa, trying his best not to show his amazement, Wonho suddenly feels someone holding his knees. It is the smallest alpha. She wants a hug. Instinctively, he brings her onto his lap. 

'Omo, I'm so sorry.' Wonho sees a new female omega, probably one of Minwoo's sister's mate come inside and grabs her daughter off him, apologizing. But unfortunately, the young baby starts to cry, reaching out to Wonho, causing the lady to panic. 

'Urm, it's okay.' Wonho gives her a sincere smile. He is not bothered at all. At least, playing with the kids will allow him to relax a bit. And avoid being interviewed.
