CEO'S OFFICIAL MATE
CHAPTER 12; I’m Mother

“What problems are there?” yong Nam asked as San Hyuk contacted him to come to the bar they used to spend time with.

“Do you have any problems to meet?” San Hyuk welcomed his friend's arrival while pulling the chair beside him.

“Have you successfully dated that foreigner?” asked Yong Nam curiously. Because San Hyuk spent a lot of time with Aleya and the dating rumors were getting weaker because San Hyuk was always Aleya's dark horse during drinks.

“No...” San Hyuk replied with a smile. Although he does not completely refute his feelings, but San Hyuk also has not given certainty about his relationship.

“Do not waste time on uncertain things. Don't you have dreams?” San Hyuk only confirmed Yong Nam's words with a weak nod. What his friend said was not wrong. Lately his attention has been distracted by Aleya. The girl came like the cool mountain air. Makes her feel overwhelmed by temporary pleasure.

“Iya, I'll ask you. Later,” answer San Hyuk impressed ambiguous. He smelled a smile while sipping the whiskey he had been holding.

There was something that San Hyuk did not say to Yong Nam. There was actually something stuck in his heart. The lump was stuck right in his mouth. It was not his power to share with Yong Nam even though he had brought him here to accompany him. He is not alone through this day.

His relationship with Aleya did start from friendship, but it could not cover up the fact that there were feelings at play in between. San Hyuk just kept convincing his heart to believe his feelings. But there was a large still gaping niche that he had to fill before convincing his feelings not to go to waste. But that part was only Aleya who was able to fill it. Until now there was also his side that San Hyuk did not understand. As if there was a mystery being hidden by Aleya, the girl was very covered with her personal life.

Inevitably San Hyuk finally convinced himself to ask. And he got an unexpected answer from the girl who had been filling every corner in his heart all along.

The day before, San Hyuk had left with Aleya. He took the girl for a leisurely walk on the banks of the Han River. Aleya who initially refused finally agreed to San Hyuk's invitation after he whined.

“Beauty...” murmured Aleya slowly. His eyes were focused on the twilight shade that painted the Seoul sky with its beautiful colors.

“Just say, if the sunset here is very beautiful!” San Hyuk actually did not just want to show Aleya that sight. But he also invited Aleya to take a short break from her busy daily routine. San Hyuk saw that Aleya was too cruel to herself to be able to enjoy her youth.

“Hmm...” Aleya nodded in agreement without diverting her back from the sun that soon sank in place of day by night.

“Date with me,” San Hyuk said suddenly.

San Hyuk's sudden confession made Aleya instantly turn her head. He wanted to make sure there was nothing wrong with his hearing. The sight of both of them was locked, there was a gaping pause between the two.

“Why?” aleya's question broke the silence, “Does Oppa love me?”

“That explains? How can I ask you out if I don't like you?” San Hyuk was surprised by Aleya's question. Didn't her attention and attitude translate to her feelings for Aleya?

“Didn't we decide to be friends?”

“Do we not have to be friends first before dating?” aleya's question was answered by San Hyuk.

“I can't do it,” replied Aleya softly. There was a sense of disappointment that he had to endure when issuing that statement.

“Why is that fast to give an answer?” San Hyuk could not help his disappointment either.

“Oppa knows nothing. I'm not in a position to make love. I...” Aleya's voice choked. The ripples in both of his eyeballs began to show. He hurriedly shifted his gaze away from San Hyuk.

“You who gave me no room to know and know you.” San Hyuk's words further rendered Aleya speechless. There is nothing wrong with San Hyuk. He did shut himself off from San Hyuk especially his personal life problems.

“Did you deliberately give false hope to me?” San Hyuk actually did not want to give a question that could hurt Aleya. He knew that the only man close to him was himself.

“It is not like that only..” Aleya herself still continues to evade the feeling that began to knock on the door of her heart. He did not want the feeling to exhaust his thoughts and feelings. There was something he didn't tell San Hyuk.

“Try telling me, what makes you doubt me?” San Hyuk was trying to catch Aleya's gaze that kept shifting her gaze. San Hyuk could see that there was something Aleya was hiding where the portions were larger than her feelings.

“Speak..I will listen to it..Whatever it is,” persuade San Hyuk.

“I have no right to think of anything about love for the time being.” Aleya is trying to control the roar of her feelings. He forced his logic to take command of his heart.

“Anyone deserves to be loved and loved Leya-ya..” entertain San Hyuk.

“But not at the moment, my love I have dedicated to others.” Aleya said.

San Hyuk was stunned. Does that mean he has a lover or loves someone else?

“What does that mean? You are not..yourself?” san Hyuk's chest thumped as he tried to understand Aleya's intentions.

Aleya looked at San Hyuk's eyes fixedly, there was a toneless pause between the two. He convinced himself that telling San Hyuk was the right decision. Perhaps it was time he opened himself up and prepared with whatever decision San Hyuk would make.

“I have a..anak,” while saying so Aleya swallowed her saliva. He noticed the change in San Hyuk's face.

San Hyuk did not know what to say. He thinks it makes no sense. How could Aleya think of such an illogical reason?

San Hyuk stood up from his seat, “I take you home!” he didn't want to be hurt more by unnecessary lies. He had already deduced how Aleya felt about him. No need to add another lie.

“I'll go home by myself. Looks like Oppa needs space to self Oppa in the absence of me to understand all this.” Aleya stood up. It's time he came home.

“If you want to reject me, just tell me you're not interested in me! Don't lie such an unreasonable thing!” shouts San Hyuk suddenly. There were embers of disappointment clearly reflected in his eyeballs. It wasn't rejection that made her that way, but it was Aley's lies that made her angry.

“I'm not lying,” bitter smile is growing on Aleya's tiny lips, “I am a mother.”

Aleya was 20 years old

San Hyuk 24.

But fate tells a different story between the two.

어떤 말로 표현해야

In what words should I explain it

그대 알 수 있을까요

So you can find out?

어떤 맘을 담아내야만

what kind of feeling should I show

그대에게 전해질까

To get to you?

하루 종일 눈에 아른거려서

Every day, you are in front of my eyes

똑같은 매일을 보내고 있다고

Every day through the same day as me

나의 맘이 부담이 돼

I'm afraid I'm feeling like a baban

그대가 달아날까 봐

And make you run away from me

함께 있는 지금만으로도

Our togetherness is like this too

충분하다 생각했지만

I think that's enough for me

점점 커지는 그댈 향한 마음에

However, slowly my feelings for you grew

이젠 말을 하고 싶죠

Right now I want to tell you
