A meeting was fixed with the interior designer for his bedroom, and Minwoo shifted his bedroom in the guest room downstairs while the renovation went on. His gym schedule was strict, it was six days a week, though Taekwondo classes were thrice a week.

The first week of pain was unbearable but then on the second week he started being used to it. Then his bedroom was fixed, with his preferred earthy combination of olive, sage, walnut and crème, finally he didn’t feel an upcoming headache every time he opened his eyes.

Dohyun, for better or worse didn’t really spare him a single glance. For the whole two weeks, the alpha would come home before eight, retire in his study eat dinner there and sleep in the adjacent bedroom. In the morning when Minwoo woke up he would be in his room, when Minwoo came back he would be gone to the office.

Yet, Minwoo couldn’t stop himself from letting this man know every inch of his life. So he would text him, when he woke up, before went to gym, before he ate lunch, dinner, went somewhere. It was habit, he had spent four years of his life relentlessly texting this person and he had always replied. So even if he didn’t recognise Minwoo, Minwoo couldn’t stop himself.

Dohyun never even read his texts let alone reply anything. He didn’t mind it though, texting in a void was better than just looking at him and saying it in his heart. Not that he felt lonely, the alpha’s cold eyes were foreign to him. However, he was very curious about why Dohyun reacted to Jian like this.

“Good morning?” Minwoo looked up from his phone and saw the alpha. His name was Lee Wooseok, he was a newly famous idol.

“Morning.” Minwoo replied. “You are a bit late today?”

Wooseok smiled, “I slept late last night.” Then whispered, “I had a date.”

“Ohhhh” Minwoo laughed, “I see. I would wait for you so we can have breakfast, but I am in a hurry.”

Wooseok was tying his shoes, “Why? Do you have any event to attend?”

“Oh no.” Minwoo put his shoes back in his bags, “I have to attend an event at my in-law’s, my niece’s birthday banquet.”

The alpha stopped tying his shoes, “What?” His mouth dropped open, “You are married?”

Minwoo blinked, “Yes? Wait I never mentioned it?”

“No?” Wooseok was dumbfounded, “You never once mentioned that you were married? The fuck?”

“I kind of….” Minwoo trailed off, “Forgot.”

“What kind of person forgets that they are married?” Wooseok retorted.

“Okay I have to go now. Bye!” Minwoo quickly got up and exited the locker room.

He rushed outside and opened the car door. Seojoon was asleep in the driver’s seat, he jolted awake, “Oh Samo-nim.”

“Don’t worry about it.” Minwoo got in, “Let’s go we will have breakfast and buy some make up, I have a hair appointment afterwards.”

He had an idea of what sort of outfit he would wear and what kind of hair he wanted. From what he understood, this event was his first semi-public appearance since the accident. This was his chance to understand the dynamic of the family.

He also needed to know who Sohee was giving Jian’s information outside. Because if she was sending the picture of his food, then she could be giving information about what time Dohyun came home, what time he left, when Minwoo came home, when Minwoo left or worse when Dohyun’s study was without supervision.

“You want to do this cut?” The hairdresser looked kind of sceptical.

Minwoo nodded, “Yes. I want this specific cut for my hair, also don’t use gel when you style it, just let it fall.”

The hairdresser complied but didn’t look convinced till the end result came out. “Your face type was not suitable for this, so I thought…” She trailed off, “But this looks good. Let me take a picture I will post on Instagram and tag you.”

When Minwoo came back, it was 4 pm. They were supposed to leave at 6.

“Is Sajang-nim here?” He asked the staff as he rushed inside.

“Yes, he is resting in his bedroom.” The staff replied when Minwoo was already on the stairs.

He opened the closet and pulled out several clothing; found the ones he wanted and put the rest back. From Jian’s body type, his figure fluttered the most when the trousers were loose and the top was tighter defining his waist.

He had long legs and short torso, so the pants should be just under his navel, the top should cover his upper body. The hem was the trouser should be a little down because he would wear heels. His hair was cut in waves which he tied halfway, letting the nape area fall freely. Jian’s forehead was not big enough for bangs, but he cut side bangs to soften the tall nose.

He did light make up, Jian’s eyes were big with double eyelids, so he only tightlined and used mascara. Using concealer to hide the blemishes and foundation to smoothen the texture of his skin. Light cherry red as lipstick with slight gloss.

Minwoo looked at himself in the mirror. Dark moss green Coat, apple green waistcoat, flax loose shirt underneath, Golden Brown trousers and he would wear bistre boots with pretty high heels. A golden watch, some gold earrings and rings on the fingers, a crème purse.

Just as he took come pictures, there was knock on the door, “Samo-nim, Sajang-nim is waiting by the main door.”

“Coming.” Minwoo opened the door and it was Sohee. Her eyes widened slightly looking at him, she quickly lowered them.

“Please clean the bedroom before leaving. I don’t have time right now.” Minwoo requested and walked down the stairs. Before the second door opened, he let out a breath.

Seojoon was the first to see him when the door opened and the beta’s jaw dropped. However, he didn’t say anything only guided him to the outer corridors where the shoes were kept.
