When Loving You Became My Sweetest Destructionย ย ย Chapter 37
"The cafรฉ isn't open yet.""So what?" Douglass shot Mitch a dangerous look that seemed to say, "What are you going to do about it?""Please come back when we open.""You're running a business practically rent-free thanks to me, and you've got a lot to say."Douglass Brady had always been selfish, but this version of him who didn't remember Mitch spoke so irritatingly that Mitch wanted to slap him across the mouth.But since what he said wasn't wrong, Mitch had no comeback."What would you like to order, customer?" Mitch quickly changed his approach, turning on the POS system to take Douglass's order."Iced Americano."Douglass tossed his card onto the counter as soon as he answered."The machine isn't fully heated up yet. Would it be okay if I served you an iced hand-drip coffee instead?""Do whatever you want."Mitch calmly picked up Douglass's card and processed the payment.Watching the process, Douglass clicked his tongue."You're not even acting cute. Did I really date you?"Mitc

"You're staying late today instead of running away in the middle."Douglass suddenly appeared from somewhere while Mitch was closing up. Mitch glanced back while cleaning, having turned off the lights and put the chairs on the tables."Yes."The lackluster response came out because he had no energy to retort. One of the part-timers scheduled for the afternoon shift couldn't come due to personal reasons, so Mitch had to stay from opening until closing.As a result, every muscle in his body was screaming in pain. He had planned to do delivery work after finishing his shift, but that was now out of the question. He should probably go straight back to his officetel to rest."We used to live together, right?"Douglass abruptly brought up their past relationship while standing in front of the busy Mitch. Mitch decided to ignore him completely and focused on washing dishes."But there were only my things in the apartment we shared."When Mitch didn't respond, Douglass went as far as entering

"What's with this clean-cut guy?"The alpha loan shark turned towards Douglass. Their tones were clearly confrontational.Mitch signaled with his eyes for Douglass to leave. These weren't people he needed to get involved with. Besides, even though Douglass was larger than them, it would be dangerous to face two people at once. Especially since he'd recently been in an accidentโwhat if Douglass got hurt..."I asked first, but I'm still waiting for an answer."Douglass raised one eyebrow as if puzzled."Look at this. The way this young punk talks is all wrong. Ah, are you Forbes's boyfriend?"The beta standing next to the alpha clapped his hands and laughed at his comment."Ahh, that must be it! Why else would he be hanging around here at this hour.""Mr. Douglass Brady. Please leave."Mitch warned Douglass, but he didn't budge an inch, as if he couldn't hear Mitch's voice."Mitch Forbes must be quite skilled at seducing alphas.""He does look the slutty type."The loan sharks exchanged

Simultaneously, the sound of someone turning the emergency staircase doorknob came from the floor below. Probably someone who had finished parking in the underground garage and was trying to come up the stairs. But there was only a rattling sound; the door wouldn't open.Douglass Brady had already instructed his secretary to lock all emergency exit doors on every floor. So that no one except himself and these men could use them."Huh, so this guy really was a rich young master after all."Having confirmed that the money had indeed been transferred to the account, the Beta let out a surprised laugh. It was understandableโin this line of work, he had never received money so easily and quickly before. Usually, it took anywhere from six months to several years."But it seems like a bit more money came in than expected. Is this a tip?" the Alpha asked after checking the numbers in the text message."Ah, that." Douglass casually dropped his shortened cigarette on the floor and extinguished

Contrary to his expectations, Mitch shook his head."Don't come here anymore after this.""..."This wasn't the response Douglass had anticipated. He folded his arms and leaned toward where Mitch was standing."I don't want to.""Then you might run into those guys again. You'll be in danger too. You saw what happened, you know.""And you're not in danger?""This is my problem, so I have no choice. Besides, I told you yesterday. It's over between us anyway...""1 million pesos, right?"Douglass cut off Mitch's words."I'll pay it for you. Those guys looked like loan sharks.""...""If this continues, isn't it really dangerous? For you and your family too."Douglass grabbed Mitch's wrist to prevent him from turning away. The grip was neither too tight nor too loose. His manner was somewhat cautious, but his expression failed to hide how much he was enjoying the situation."Why suddenly?"Douglass had previously said he had no intention of paying the premium. Mitch was curious about what

Douglass was certain that his past self hadn't become emotionally entangled with Mitch. Though he might have been physically attracted to his face and somewhat infatuated with his body, if he had truly cared for Mitch, he wouldn't have left him looking so thin. He would look better with some more weight on him. Healthier and more robust.At any rate, feeding him to put on weight wasn't difficult. He just needed to pay a bit more attention to it."Anyway. Douglass Brady, you need to step outside for a moment now."Marlon returned to his desk, flipping through Mitch's chart. Douglass, who had been preparing to leave, hesitated."Why?""I need to have a private consultation with the patient.""Do you two have some secret that I don't know about?""It's standard practice to consult with patients one-on-one. You're not Mitch's guardian anyway.""I came here as his guardian.""Unless you're his spouse, you can't legally be his guardian. So hurry up and leave."Douglass grumbled but left the

Mitch nodded slightly in response."Have you been here with me before?""Yes."After the employee left the room, Douglass drank some water with a displeased expression. He clearly didn't remember."How often?""...Occasionally.""Hmm."When the food arrived, they ate quietly. While eating, Mitch tried to anticipate what Douglass would demand in exchange for paying off his debt.However, there were many unfamiliar aspects to this Douglass who couldn't remember him, making it difficult to predict.I hope he doesn't ask for something too unreasonable. What if he wants something I can't give?"What else should I do? You said I have to do whatever you tell me."Mitch spoke after finishing his meal and emptying the drink he had ordered. He deliberately waited until after the meal to bring this up, fearing he might choke if he mentioned it earlier.Douglass, who had finished eating first and was waiting, glanced at Mitch's empty bowl."You said it yourself. That you'd had all the fun you wer

"Real Place, yes, I've seen videos from that account. I told them the owner would be here soon. I think they're taking photos of drinks at the entrance seats now..."As he said, soon the food influencer approached and asked if she could take videos of the store. She wanted to capture overall photos, the kitchen interior, and the scenery beyond the large glass window that was Neo-Bell's signature feature.After a brief chat, Mitch served a few complimentary drinks and desserts. He had learned from experience that tables with plenty of food and beverages photographed well.Occasionally there were people who demanded money for promotional purposes after taking photos and videos, but today's influencer simply took her pictures and videos quietly before leaving.Mitch gazed at the view outside the window that the influencer had most meticulously captured. Beautiful green leaves from a large tree covered the window. Sunlight streaming through hundreds of gaps between the leaves created a st

"..."It was a bit embarrassing, but since Mitch had already agreed to do whatever Douglass wanted, it wasn't surprising that he would make such a request. It wasn't an unreasonable demand either.If anything, since pregnancy had prevented him from properly fulfilling their contract, Mitch had no right to complain even if Douglass got angry."I think that should be fine... I'll do it."And though somewhat pathetic, Mitch desperately needed Douglass's goodwill right now. As long as there was hope that he might accept the child as his own, Mitch didn't want to go against his wishes."Good. Well, we need to go for a checkup soon anyway, so we can confirm it again then."Pleased with Mitch's answer, Douglass wrapped his hand around Mitch's thin, long nape and rubbed it subtly."Ah. And change your phone number."Just as Mitch thought he might kiss him again, Douglass spoke as if something had suddenly occurred to him. Mitch looked up."Why?""Cut off contact with all those other alphas. I

And the questions about who Mitch Forbes was began to fit together like puzzle pieces."So he was supposed to receive various things from my mother. Simply in exchange for breaking up with me."Then coincidentally, he lost his memories in an accident and there was even a child whose father was unknown. All the promised compensation must have vanished, and it would've been too much to let go.It seems Mitch judged that claiming the child was Douglass Brady's would yield more benefits."So this is what he wants."With a cigarette in his mouth, Douglass's lips curved into a distinct arc.It was so obvious that it was actually fortunate. This was something he could easily provide, except for arranging an alpha.Tossing his now-shortened cigarette out the window, Douglass gestured for his secretary to leave.As he crumpled the documents in his hand, the image of Mitch at the funeral lingered in his mind.His swollen eyes from crying and his frighteningly thin appearance. The shock he felt

"No, I meant you don't need to eat this too. Just eat your regular food.""How can I eat something nice in front of someone who can't even smell? Forget it."Douglass snapped as if he'd heard something absurd. Then he turned his attention to the food set in front of Mitch.A thick soup was served alongside freshly toasted, warm rye bread. There was also an appetizing cold noodle dish in a medium-sized bowl."Please try it," the housekeeper said.Mitch picked up his spoon. At least there was almost no smell, which seemed fine, but he was nervous about how it would taste."..."He already felt pressured, worried that spitting out food that had been specially prepared would be impolite.The potato soup he carefully tasted under the watchful eyes of Douglass and the housekeeper was just the right lukewarm temperature. It had no strong spice flavors and was mild. Though ordinary people might find it bland, it suited Mitch's current palate."How is it, sir?""It's delicious."Mitch smiled a

What was his intention in asking? He probably wanted Mitch to terminate the pregnancy, right?Mitch stared at Douglass with fear in his eyes. Contrary to his expectations of a cold, sharp expression, Douglass's face was surprisingly calm. It might be a crazy thought, but it seemed as if he was waiting for Mitch to say he wanted to keep the baby.After a moment of silence, Mitch carefully nodded."Yes.""Good."Douglass accepted calmly. Unlike before, he wasn't ignoring what Mitch said."And you? Did you get tested?"Mitch asked about the vasectomy test."I will. Soon.""...""Are you still certain I'm the father?"Despite having already argued about this question once, Mitch wasn't flustered. Perhaps because he had experienced even more miserable situations, he felt no particular agitation."I'm certain."Douglass silently stared at Mitch for a moment. His lips opened slowly."Alright. We'll find out with a paternity test later."Mitch swallowed dryly while gauging Douglass's mood. Th

I didn't want to become a stranger to Mitch. Even though I had foolishly offered to pay off his debt because I liked his body, now that I couldn't embrace him, I still didn't want to leave him.Despite knowing that Mitch had tried to deceive me, all I wanted right now was to make him comfortable."Come here."As I entered the funeral hall, Mitch was placing new incense before the old ones burned out. I put the envelope down on the table and called to him."You're here? I'm not really hungry right now.""Just pretend to eat something. You can't keep starving yourself."Mitch didn't argue further and did as I said.My gaze followed Mitch as he approached with somewhat sluggish steps, then shifted to his right foot. That leg seemed to have less strength, causing a subtle imbalance in his gait."What's wrong with your foot?""Just twisted it a bit.""When?""...Why did you buy so much? I won't be able to eat it all anyway."Mitch changed the subject. Though I noticed and was about to poin

"When does the funeral procession start?""Later at 6 PM."As much as he wanted to tell him to lie down and rest, it would be difficult for Mitch to leave his position as chief mourner for long."If you don't eat this, I'm throwing it away."Douglass began clearing the food in front of Mitch. He knew keeping it there would only make Mitch feel worse."No, I'll do it.""Just sit down, I've got this."He seated Mitch in a chair and quickly cleaned up the table. But Mitch seemed quite uncomfortable with Douglass's actions."You must be busy, you can go back now."In the end, without properly sitting to rest even for a minute, Mitch got up and approached him. He threw away some trash that had fallen on the floor and then handed Douglass his jacket that he had taken off. It was practically asking him to leave.You're in this state and you're telling me to go?Though Mitch probably said it out of consideration, Douglass felt fiery anger rise within him. At the same time, he was greatly dist

Mitch briefly stared at his profile before awkwardly approaching. He hadn't expected to come this far, so he wasn't sure how to interact with him. Feelings of gratitude, embarrassment, and the desire to avoid the situation were all tangled together."Where's your mom?""She said she felt stuffy and went out for some fresh air.""I see."Mitch nodded. Douglass surveyed the modest and inadequate funeral hall. The whole facility was disorderly. The memorial portrait of Mitch's father was poor quality, somehow blurry and faint. And in the midst of it all stood Mitch."You should have told me about this."Douglass spoke with a surge of emotion that he didn't bother to hide. Mitch lowered his head."It was chaotic. I had to leave right after I got the call..."Thick fatigue had seeped into Mitch's voice. Hearing this excuse made Douglass's anger rise even more, though he knew this wasn't the time or place."Even so, does it make sense to be absent for more than three days without saying any

How many times had he come here? More than one hundred and fifty visits. Douglass found his past self pathetic. It was also ridiculous that he had accumulated coupons without using them.What a fool he'd been. No wonder someone would take advantage of him and make up absurd lies about being pregnant with his child. Douglass clicked his tongue in disapproval."I'll just pay."Despite saying this, he simply handed over his card. It wasn't like he was trying to squeeze every last penny out of someone. Remembering how the other had scurried around the kitchen so diligently, he didn't particularly want to get free coffee."Yes. I'll prepare it right away."Douglass watched the part-timer head to the kitchen, then leaned forward slightly to peek inside. But Mitch didn't appear until his coffee was ready."One iced Americano."Douglass immediately picked up the coffee from the pickup counter."Excuse me, customer. Is there anything else you need?"The part-timer cautiously addressed Douglass

"Ugh... What about your father? What are we going to do...?" Mother's crying grew louder as she also noticed what was inside the envelope.Mitch touched the faded old banknotes with his hand and stared at his father lying covered with a white cloth.Why did he still keep this?Even while gambling, cutting off contact with family, being chased by loan sharks, and accumulating countless debtsโwhy did he still have this?It was frustrating that he couldn't ask anymore. Mitch put the money back into the tattered envelope.'Look, Mitch. " Mitch" means to help. Your name means to help people.''That's difficult.''I'll teach you every day until you memorize it.'He resented his father. He was angry at him for dying so absurdly in the end.Why was he selfish until his dying moment? It would have been better if he could just feel nothing, only a sense of liberation. He torments people to the very end."What's the procedure for the funeral?"Only after a long while was Mitch able to clear his
