CEO'S OFFICIAL MATE
CHAPTER 11; Shielding Protector

[Oppa, is there time tonight? If you don't mind, can you accompany me to Bar XX at eight in the evening?]

After jiggling with his own mind, Aleya finally sent the message to San Hyuk. Unlike usual, there was a sense of disassociation to have San Hyuk join her that night. The habit of gathering and spending the night together is something that Aleya cannot get used to in her daily agenda. He should go home and as much as possible avoid this association. Only occasionally did he join, if that was important.

[What is this? Why once a night?]

San Hyuk frowned as soon as he saw the text message sent by Aleya. Not without reason. Usually Aleya would avoid the meeting and always go home early. Even if they went out together, Aleya always said she should go home before seven in the evening. For people their age, curfews are very uncommon and tend to be excruciating. But in contrast to Aleya, the girl had always kept her principles unless it was very important.

“Where? What's the answer?” ask some of the girls sitting not far from Aleya. They're all her old friends.

“Ehm... San Hyuk-ssi has not replied. Do you know that college students are busy?” kilah Aleya's. He kept his phone away as soon as it was seen there was the name San Hyuk on his phone screen, “while..”.

“Why?” san Hyuk asked directly as soon as Aleya raised her call.

“Hmmm, how do I say it?” Aleya bit her fingernails doubtfully.

“Anyone who wants to meet or get acquainted with me?” guess San Hyuk.

“Iya..” Aleya was grateful that she did not have to explain her case to San Hyuk. The man seemed to understand what was going on. It had been almost a year that Aleya and San Hyuk had established their friendship. It is not uncommon for the two to spend time together on campus. This does not deny the emergence of dating rumors between the two. If one of them answers that they are only friends, then one of the consequences is things like this.

“Tell me if I can't, or if they insist, change the location, not at the bar. In the cafe. I finished college at five.” San Hyuk did not want to meet them without Aleya, of course. The most important thing was the whereabouts of Aleya with him.

“Thank you..” only that sentence Aleya was able to convey in exchange for gratitude for San Hyuk's understanding. He no longer knew what to say to the young man who had recently filled a special room in his heart.

“See you later,” San Hyuk said before terminating his connection. The man combed his slightly messy hair. Although all this time he understood Aleya's curfew system, there was a big wedge that until now had not been answered by him. The reason Aleya did that. The girl is also very difficult to get out on the weekends. Does he have a lover?

San Hyuk hurriedly threw away his pessimism.

If Aleya has a lover, where might she want ‘utilize the services’ provided by San Hyuk? Aleya could have invited her lover to go out at night to avoid drinking events that are often done by majors. But as far as he knew, Aleya always invited him if the event should be attended.

Then why?

San Hyuk had already asked, but the girl only smiled and said that San Hyuk was not yet the time to know the reason. Aleya also always refused to go to her house. He really seems to limit his personal life and choose to establish a relationship that is not too deep with anyone.

[We go to cafe H yes, Oppa can catch up after it's done. Thank you]

Aleya sighed as soon as her message was sent. He walked back to his classmates. Aleya was indeed not very familiar with them. But since Aleya was good friends with San Hyuk, people started to pay attention to Aleya. How not, the man named Shin San Hyuk was a super star on their campus since the beginning of college. Sharing the model around ordinary people, San Hyuk became famous for his handsome and handsome figure. Not to mention with his friendly attitude that made anyone feel comfortable being around him.

Aleya also felt that San Hyuk was too prominent to be her friend. She felt burdened with the nickname as the closest woman to San Hyuk. Suddenly the attention he had received because of his different country origin, now had to increase with the existence of San Hyuk by his side.

Precisely Aleya herself felt that something was wrong with her once she got to know San Hyuk. Aleya thought she was limiting herself from any male figure considering what had happened to her. He thinks he's not okay. But his introduction to San Hyuk actually raised the flower buds in his heart that had initially withered before developing.

Aleya was only able to ask herself, was she worthy to feel love?

Nah!

It wasn't appropriate or not, but Aleya's focus wasn't that at the moment. Something else is a top priority. He must complete his studies to survive independently. His pair of hands was not even enough to work on anything else again exceeding his current portion. It is inappropriate to have his attention split just because of a man.

“Hai..” but just such a greeting alone has broken the constancy that Aleya just hummed.

The new San Hyuk immediately pulled out an extra seat in order to sit beside Aleya even though there were still many other seats in front of him. Disappointed faces were evident from some of the women sitting there. But San Hyuk did not care.

“San Hyuk-ssi!” Aleya was shocked by the appearance of San Hyuk. He only realized that it had been a long time Aleya was deep in thought until she was unaware of the presence of the man.

“San Hyuk-ssi?” san Hyuk protested as soon as he heard Aleya call him in formal language. He deliberately raised his voice notation as a form of rejection of the unfamiliarity between the two.

“Oppa...” whispered Aleya while menoel San Hyuk's stomach. He pleaded with his eyes so that San Hyuk would not get along with him.

“Good..” San Hyuk who understood immediately circulated his gaze, “introduce my name San Hyuk, I am from the department of Architects and have class four! Thank you for asking me to join. Your friends are so enchanting, Aleya-ssi?” while saying so San Hyuk straightened his hand on the back of Aleya's chair. Although his face was smiling, anyone could see the signal sent from San Hyuk's eyes to everyone who was there. San Hyuk did not want them to interfere in his relationship with Aleya.

I don't want each of them to start introducing themselves. The association that was originally to get to know and seek San Hyuk's attention became so awkward.

“Seonbae, what do you want to drink?” aleya asked without knowing the situation that was going on. He opened the menu book and read some of the drink options San Hyuk could order.

“As far as you go..” San Hyuk said as he continued to throw smiles at Aleya's friends. His fingers unceasingly rolled up Aleya's hair covering her gaze on the menu book. San Hyuk also occasionally whispered something to Aleya.

That detail did not escape the observation of Aleya's friends. The personality of San Hyuk that people say is starting to be doubted. Although the outer shell is friendly, but the side of San Hyuk who occasionally throws a smile at people while doing skin-ship to Aleya makes them aware.

There is a San Hyuk trait that goes unnoticed.

The man looks so intimidating. His aura made some of them even avoid his gaze. There was no room for them to interfere.

While Aleya?

He innocently chooses a drink for San Hyuk without knowing that he has a shield as well as a respected protector on his campus.
