[OH MY BABY] || TaeGyu

Chp 23

Yunjin nearly dropped her phone, her heart racing as her aunt’s accusation hung in the air. Her two sweet daughters, unaware of the tension, clung to her sides, giggling happily.

H-How does she know about that? 

Yunjin panicked internally.

Did Oppa tell her?
Should I just act ignorant for now?

"Mommy!!" her playful daughters called out, vying for the alpha's attention.

"Shhh! Eunchae, Zuha~ Mommy is on the phone, honey!" Yunjin’s wife quickly intervened, scooping the kids up and trying to give the alpha some space to think.

"Haha... W-What are you even saying, Auntie?" Yunjin nervously laughed, hoping to defuse the situation. "Oppa isn’t even dating anyone right now..."

Her youngest daughter, Eunchae tugged at her, wrapping small arms around her chest. "Mommy! Let’s play already!"

Yunjin barely had a chance to catch her breath when Doona’s voice cut through again. "Very well." her aunt said sharply, before abruptly ending the call.

The alpha sat there, stunned, the phone still clutched in her hand. She just... hung up like that?

"Why is my family like this?" she groaned under her breath, completely exasperated.

"What happened, Cupcake?" Her omega walked over, concern etched on her face.

"UGH... WHAT DO I DO NOW?! CHAECHAE!" Yunjin cried dramatically, jumping up from her seat and throwing herself onto Chaewon. She clung to her omega like her life depended on it, burying her face in the omega's chest.

The omega blinked, hugging the alpha confusedly but comfortingly.

"I’ll have to let Taehyun-oppa know ASAP...!" Yunjin muttered, her voice muffled against her wife.

"Let him know about what, exactly?"

Doona let out a long, weary sigh, her frustration and anger simmering beneath the surface. She pressed her forehead against her hands, her brows knitting tightly together as she tried to control the rising tension. Her eyes drifted toward the picture frame on her desk, a small reminder of the past that brought a bittersweet pang to her heart.

The photo of her late older brother.

Kang Daniel.

What will our executive board and investors say if they find out someone in our family has tainted these values?

My late brother and I founded this business to construct home for families. We've always been prideful of our promotion of traditional family principles...

Her thoughts wandered to the early days, when she and Daniel would happily brainstorm ideas for the construction projects, meticulously planning materials, land, and everything needed to create the ideal family homes. She cherished those memories, but they were suddenly overshadowed by the image of her nephew, Taehyun who never seemed to take anything seriously.
