CEO'S OFFICIAL MATE
CHAPTER 23; Opportunity

“Eat slowly,” San Hyuk cleans food debris stuck to the corner of Aleya's cheek. His hand that touched the thin lump parallel suddenly reminded him of the long curvature that made his sleep unsettled. But San Hyuk did not rush to withdraw his hand and pretending what was going on between the two was a natural thing. He does not want to make an effort to narrow the distance actually makes the distance wider.

“Not good...” complained Aleya.

“If you want to eat well, get well soon so we can go home,” whine Aleya made the tip of San Hyuk's lips lifted, her smile automatically expanded to see Aleya's funny behavior.

“Can't I go home now?” aleya whine.

“You heard the doctor's words yourself, you should be here at least 1x24 hours! I know this condition confuses you a lot, but what will we do if last night's events repeat?”

“Oppa!” aleya's face met again at San Hyuk's words which seemed to ignore the embarrassment Aleya felt.

“Why? You hate him?” goda San Hyuk, “ature your breath!” he reminded when he saw Aleya's ears getting flushed, “you are like a teenager who has just felt the first kiss.”

“I am indeed the first to feel it..”.

“APA!” San Hyuk until standing up from his chair, “severa..”.

San Hyuk massaged his head slowly. Her intelligent mind began to connect many pieces of Aleya's past story buzzel. Hypotheses that he believed were heading in the wrong direction. It was only fitting that Aleya always avoided the question of how she could conceive Han Byeol at such a young age without a companion who could strengthen her choice.

Aleya got Hab Byeol not because of the relationship of someone who likes each other. That meant...

San Hyuk's heart was slashed to imagine the past that might have hurt Aleya and her wounds were still gaping there. This may also make Aleya very careful in maintaining relationships with various working partners. The protocol he applied was also very strict during drinking events.

That's why!

Aleya was still not fully resurrected from her past.

“Job!” hissing San Hyuk, “what are you.” San Hyuk looked at Aleya with sympathy as well as horror. He could not imagine how deep the sorrow he had to reconcile until his life was like now.

“You...you don't love her?”

“I have never loved another man except Oppa..”.

Silent

San Hyuk could not believe what he had just heard.

The clear membrane began to cover San Hyuk's netra. The feeling of relief, happiness, and gratitude became one until the word could no longer describe what he was feeling. San Hyuk could not hold back his tears.

“I'm sorry for just having the courage to reveal it now, but I really can't go through this alone. I'm sorry.” Aleya came crying, she really felt guilty for using San Hyuk for the umpteenth time. But Aleya had already convinced herself that after this she would not dodge. Although San Hyuk would throw it away in the future, he did not care. He wanted to give his whole body and love only for San Hyuk.

“Do not apologize. I'm so grateful and so grateful that you're giving me the opportunity to truly be your husband.” San Hyuk wiped his own tears before sweeping a clear circle of tears that were about to fall from his wife's chin. Then as if without any more pause between the two, San Hyuk pulled Aleya into his arms. Time and again San Hyuk rained a friendly kiss on the tip of Aleya's head.

“I'm sorry..please help me once again..” Aleya's cry broke out in the arms of the man who had been protecting her all this time.

Aleya realized that this was not the time for her to be weak and fragile, but she did not want to pretend to be in San Hyuk. It is the only place to complain. He's the only place to go for now. At least Aleya would have to build her final stronghold if all the preparations she had built collapsed before her adoptive family.

“Maybe this looks cliche, but you've always been a valuable person to me Leya-ya. So don't doubt my feelings for you. From now on we go through this together..” San Hyuk let go of his embrace in order to be able to look at Aleya's face. In addition to her beautiful face, she also wants to see the woman's face. It was rare for Aleya to show such a weak side.

“Aigooo, crying also still looks very beautiful.akh..” San Hyuk instantly got the law of pinching on his waist. He could still laugh seeing Aleya's pouting face.

Suddenly the door opened and made the two who were jokingly turn their heads. San Hyuk saw Han Byeol enter the room with a flat face. Shortly thereafter, Thomas and Chrisma entered the room followed by Mr. Leo.

“Appa..” Han Byeol rushed over to San Hyuk and hugged him, “forgive me, I met them in the lobby,” he whispered slowly.

“Not a problem, say hello and go to school. Let Appa settle matters here,” San Hyuk pats Han Byeol on the shoulder for the boy to trust him.

San Hyuk then approached the two people giving his best greetings to the person he had expected to be Aleya's adoptive parents. He invited the two of them to sit on the guest sofa to wait before meeting Aleya.

“Han Byeol still has not met his mother because last night he slept under the influence of drugs,” San Hyuk explained so as not to cause misunderstandings, “maybe this situation is not appropriate but let me introduce myself. I am Shin San Hyuk, I am the guardian of Aleya and Han Byeol in Korea, Father Mother,” San Hyuk trying as polite as possible in introducing him. He did not know the character of the two people so he tried to be careful.

“Wali?” ask Krisma confused.

“I am Aleya's husband and father of Han Byeol.” San Hyuk explained.

“How can you get married without our permission!” Chrism unknowingly raises the volume of his voice. At first he thought when Aleya said that she had a husband was just a blank sentence. She assumed that her adopted daughter had gone crazy by claiming I had a husband and giving her son a Korean smelling name.

“Aleya was old enough to make her choice when I married her, and it was legal.” San Hyuk was still smiling facing his mother-in-law.

San Hyuk doesn't really know what's going on in the family. Aleya only briefly touched on her hometown in Indonesia. The woman was completely closed in on her personal matters. San Hyuk just needs to be careful and maybe this is the opportunity for him to take over the burden of the past.
