Chapter 168: THE NEW (CRAZY) SHAMAN
A MOUNTAIN TEMPLE, huh?
Wonyoung wouldn’t say that he was surprised to know that a shaman lived in a mountain temple.
But he was surprised that the new shaman went to the shaman of another family.
"Shouldn’t he have come to your family if he knows he’s to serve the Yun Clan?" Wonyoung asked curiously once they were in the car. Him in the passenger seat, Yun Dujun behind the steering wheel, and the kids in the backseat. "I wonder why he went to another family."
It was alright to talk about it since Yun Yuhyun was busy with his computer tablet.
Plus, their son had his headphones on because he was watching Lim Garam’s old videos, back when Lim Garam was still an active idol.
It seemed like Song Gunwoo converted Yun Yuhyun to be an idol fan.
It’s fine since Yuhyun is only watching Garam Hyung’s former group’s old songs. As a fan, I know that their old groups songs are safe and wholesome since they started with a bright concept.
"Maybe it’s because he knows it’s not yet his time to serve the family," Yun Dujun said casually. "Plus, the shaman seems smart despite being a child. He probably knows that the current shaman is batshit crazy. If I were him, I’d avoid that old woman like a plague, too."
"Hyung, language."
"Ah, right. My bad."
An awkward silence ensued.
Actually, Wonyoung felt awkward because An Baekya made a slip of the tongue earlier.
By acknowledging that An Baekya knew the new shaman, the child practically admitted that he had the memories of the original timeline. Yun Dujun was supposed to be pretending that he didn’t know An Baekya had his old memories, so Yun Dujun should be confused by that.
But the Alpha wasn’t asking questions when he normally would.
All this mind game is just giving me a headache...
"Stop acting awkward," An Baekya said in his usual nonchalant tone. "I already know that Abeoji knows I have the memories of the original timeline."
Yun Dujun flinched, obviously guilty. "How did you know?"
"I just know Yuhyun all too well— that brat won’t keep secrets from his beloved abeoji."
Ah, that made sense.
"Did you call me?" Yun Yuhyun asked An Baekya while removing his headphones. "I think I heard you call my name just now."
An Baekya nodded. "I said you’re a silly goose."
"Yah. Are you picking a fight with me?"
"Yes, I am."
Yun Yuhyun looked like he would snap, but in the end, he took a deep breath. "Gunwoo Hyung said I should always be calm and collected as an older brother. He also said that I should be kind, generous, and forgiving to my dongsaeng. So, I’ll let you tease me, Baekya. I won’t get mad at you. And I’ll try to see you as a cute younger brother."
An Baekya made a disgusted face.
Wonyoung, on the other hand, was impressed. "Yuhyun-ah, I’d like it if you keep being friends with Gunwoo. He’s a good influence on you."
Song Gunwoo’s maturity was rubbing off on Yun Yuhyun, after all.
"Yes, Papa. I want to stay as Gunwoo Hyung’s dongsaeng," Yun Yuhyun said, his eyes sparkling. "I like Woochul, Woosung, and Woohee, too."
"I see," Wonyoung said, nodding. And then he turned to Yun Dujun. "Hyung, we have to work harder and earn more money. Our baby is friends with chaebol kids now. I don’t want Yuhyun to think that we’re poor once he starts hanging out with children from a different tax bracket."
"Yes, of course," Yun Dujun assured him. "We won’t let our son feel inadequate against his friends."
"Papa, Daddy, where are we going?" Yun Yuhyun asked curiously, not caring about what Wonyoung and Yun Dujun were talking about. "Are we going home?"
"We’re going to meet a new friend," Wonyoung answered his son. "He’s older than you and Baekya, so be polite, okay?"
It’s the shaman who’ll serve Yuhyun, after all.

HIKING.
It was one of Wonyoung’s weaknesses.
He just really hated activities that involved walking and running.
I’m dying...
"Seriously, Wonyoung. You’re weak," Yun Dujun said bluntly while shaking his head. "This is why I told you to keep exercising. But you always find an excuse not to run."
Tsk.
"Stop nagging, Hyung," Wonyoung complained. "I’m dying here."
"Papa, Daddy, you’re slow!" Yun Yuhyun, who was almost at the top of the high stairway already, teased them. "Is it because you’re old? Baekya and I will leave you!"
Yes, An Baekya was also already on the top.
It must be nice to have an adult mind and a young body.
"Our son can be a brat sometimes..."
"You spoiled him, after all," Yun Dujun said, smiling while shaking his head. "Do you want me to carry you?"
"Can you do that, Hyung?" Wonyoung asked suspiciously. "Carry me while climbing?"
"Yeah, it should be a piece of cake."
Ah, right.
Yun Dujun wasn’t only an ordinary Alpha— he was a dominant one.
Average Alphas are already stronger than average people, but Dominant Alphas are still on a different level.
"Come," Yun Dujun said, turning his back on Wonyoung while bending his knees. "I’ll give you a piggyback ride."
Nice.
Wonyoung immediately jumped on Yun Dujun’s back.
He wrapped his arms around the Alpha’s neck and his leges around his waist.
Yun Dujun didn’t even make a sound as he stood straight while securing him behind his back by holding Wonyoung’s legs behind his knees.
"This is comfortable, Hyung."
"I’m glad, then," Yun Dujun said, obviously satisfied that Wonyoung found his back and piggyback ride comfortable. "But you’re still going to exercise once we return. You’ve already fully recovered, so you have no excuse to slack off. Let’s start running again."
Tsk.
Wonyoung still wanted to complain because he really hated running.
However, he abruptly stopped talking out of shock when he saw the ’scene’ that greeted him: a child kicking An Baekya in the face.
As a result, An Baekya fell on his butt— the child’s nose bleeding.
Violence against a smaller kid?!
"Hey!" Wonyoung yelled angrily. The attacker was also a kid, but that wasn’t a reason to coddle him. "What do you think you’re doing to my son?"
It wasn’t just the fact that An Baekya was attacked that made him angry.
Seeing Yun Yuhyun shocked by the display of violence also made him upset.
In fact, it wasn’t only Wonyoung who got mad.
Yun Dujun, even though he didn’t say anything, released stinky pheromones— proof that the Alpha was angry at what happened as well.
"Ah, sorry," the violent kid said— smiling. "In my defense, An Baekya deserved that."
Wonyoung felt a chill down his spine when he met the violent kid’s gaze.
Just one look and he already knew.
This crazy kid is the new shaman...!
"Hello, my future bosses," the violent kid said as he faced Wonyoung and Yun Dujun properly. "I’m Jeong Semin, the future shaman of the Yun Clan. I didn’t want us to meet like this, so I apologize that you had to see that—"
"Apologize to An Baekya, you evil hyung," Yun Yuhyun said coldly. "How dare you kick my dongsaeng in the face?"
Wonyoung was afraid that the new shaman might hurt Yun Yuhyun as well.
But, much to his surprise, Jeong Semin suddenly fell on his knees.
Okay, what’s happening now?
