CEO'S OFFICIAL MATE
CHAPTER 22; The Flavors

“As long as we're in the hospital, you stay at grandfather's house. I told Mr. Leo to tell his mother's family. They will not come to the apartment for some time,” greeting San Hyk over to the order on his son. He had even contacted Mr. Choi to pick up Han Byeol in the treatment room. His personal driver had even changed jobs to take him wherever Han Byeol went.

“Can't I stay with you guys tonight?” Han Byeol put on a hardened face so that his father would allow him to stay.

“No, just one man in this room, pity your Eomma if we're both here. Noisy!” reject directly. He does not want to add to the burden of Han Byeol, “again you have to rest a lot and learn! Aren't you gonna be testing soon?”

“I want to be together..”.

“Didn't you tell Appa to seduce your Eomma? If you're here how can Appa convince him to stay together?”

Han Byeol directly grabbed his backpack and gawai then grabbed San Hyuk's hand to kiss him. He also ran slowly to the edge of the cage to be able to kiss Aleya's cheeks, “hopefully Appa successful!” whispered Han Byeol.

“YA!” San Hyuk just shook his head slowly with his son's behavior. He now feels he has an ally to make Aleya unable to escape the snare of their love.

San Hyuk deals with the mess left by his son and intends to clean up when Aleya suddenly calls out to him.

“You're up? Did we wake you up? Or is anyone sick?” San Hyuk rushed over to Aleya. He even took off his original clothes on the sofa when he saw the shadow of Aleya trying to sit down while calling out to him.

San Hyuk grabbed Aleya's slender shoulder to help her sit up. He lifted the bed rest and stuffed it with a pillow for Aleya to sit more comfortably.

“You heard everything?” investigate San Hyuk after he caught a thin ripple in Aleya's brown eyes.

“This is all my fault... it's my fault for making her think like that.I...” Aleya covered her tiny face with both palms. Unlike Aleya's persona who was so perfect and resolute in the office, Aleya's figure behind the scenes was scarred and fragile. Although San Hyuk knows that Aleya is indeed very fragile, but rarely does the woman's ego lose to the harsh reality. Rarely did Aleya complain about her life.

Seeing Aleya's figure showing this side made San Hyuk feel a little relieved. If the woman gets stronger, there is no gap for her to fill the empty space in her life. It was precisely if instead Aleya pretended to be strong, then she was afraid that the woman would be greatly devastated if just a little bit of her past storm were to pound her.

“Do not talk like that!” San Hyuk not only gave the comfort word, he also grabbed the frail body into his arms. San Hyuk who was originally sitting on the cage was now half lying down hugging Aleya.

“That's the stupidest word you said! Are you giving up? Before you went to war? Did anyone get into you? Like it's not just you!” San Hyuk tried to give spirit to Aleya who now seemed desperate. The woman he knew seemed to turn into a teenage figure who was a plan.

“If what Han Byeol said is true, let's stay together!” San Hyuk caught both cheeks of Aleya, he wanted to see the honesty in the eyes of the woman, “what after so many years did you not think for a second that you might love me?”

Aleya was surprised by San Hyuk's question. His eyes trembled along with a clear circle that began to flow through the corners of his eyes. How can the man still say love even though he has been feeling it for more than a decade?

It would be a lie if Aleya had never loved San Hyuk. He loved the man so much that he had trouble saying it. Even if what he felt was love, San Hyuk might be the first love for Aleya. But the more she loves San Hyuk, the more she looks up to herself. San Hyuk is so perfect but look at him. He felt unworthy to be with San Hyuk. His love could not compare to San Hyuk's love for him.

Aleya had already tried to strip off her past and started to receive all the warmth of San Hyuk. He began to improve himself to give his best. But he has not been completed, he is actually back in the face of a reality that he had forgotten and ignored. Aleya still had a past that had yet to completely remove the shackles that held her back to break free. Han Byeol's growth made the depraved male's shadow seem to haunt him. He did not think that his son realized the fear that appeared like a spring in his heart.

“Do you still love men..” because Aleya just fell silent while shedding tears, San Hyuk has the opinion that perhaps his presence cannot replace the woman's love for the man from her past. But once he asked, he was surprised when suddenly his lips came into contact with a pair of tiny lips that he could only imagine in his head.

Aleya panicked as she looked at the disappointed sirat from San Hyuk's eyes. He subconsciously silenced the question that was about to come out of San Hyuk's mouth and wanted to convey his feelings to the man. But why would his instinct make him act rashly like that? Aleya hurriedly retracted her lips as soon as she felt a pain in her chest.

“Agh..” Aleya felt concurrent pain in her chest and head.

Aleya's moaning voice resuscitated San Hyuk. He immediately shot from the top of the cage while pressing the emergency call button. Shortly after, the doctor and two nurses entered the room. San Hyuk immediately withdrew from beside Aleya and gave them more free space to check on Aleya.

San Hyuk turned his face which was now met with red. He knew full well what made Aleya's heartbeat suddenly unnatural. Even if there is a heart rate detector attached to it, it will show abnormal movements.

The Hyuk cursed himself. Her common sense was momentarily tempered by an instinctive passion that made her reply to Aleya's one-sided kiss. The long-held desire seemed to be in the embroidery of his tinkering axis until he forgot that they were in the hospital.

“Crazy!” San Hyuk picked up his change of clothes on the sofa and went inside the bathroom after the doctor and nurse came out of the treatment room.
