His CEO

"She moved her finger! Nurse, call Doctor Song!"

I blinked against the harsh hospital lights, my body feeling heavy and weak. I only heard the door slide open befor leaving me to see Kwangsoo's anxious face hovering over me.

"Noona, can you hear me?" The fog in my mind slowly lifted as I heard his voice.

I tried to smile, but my lips barely moved. Just then, two people walked in. At least from I imagined based on the footsteps I heard.

"Kwangsoo-yah, can you give us a moment?" I heard Hyekyo's voice. "Look for Jo Insung-ssi and tell Jihyo unnie is awake."

I looked at Kwangsoo and saw how he hesitated yet eventually nodded. He gave my hand a squeeze before he left.

"This is Dr. Lee," Hyekyo introduced the other doctor. "She's the head of the OB-GYN department."

"OB-GYN? Why-"

"Unnie, when was the last time you had an intimate night with someone?"

I frowned, her question catching me off guard. I suddenly felt my cheeks get warm. "Why are you asking that?" She's suddenly asking for my sex life? I just woke up for crying out loud!

Dr. Lee stepped forward. "You're three weeks pregnant, Miss Song."

"What?!"

"Based on your statistics, your body is over-fatigued that's why you lost consciousness earlier, and it affected your baby."

I swallowed hard, trying to process everything she said. My heart pounded in my chest, not just from the shock but from the weight of the life I now carry.

Before I could respond, there was a knock on the door. "Hey, how are you?" Insung's voice was filled with concern as he approached my bed.

"I was just tired," I managed to say, forcing a small smile. "I guess that's why I passed out. I've been overworking myself."

Insung nodded, though his eyes searched mine for any sign of something more. I avoided his gaze, knowing that if I looked into his eyes, he might see right through me.

"I will inform the chairman that you're awake." Hyekyo said before she and Dr. Lee quietly went out the room, leaving me alone with Insung and Kwangsoo. My thoughts were battling inside my head, but I knew one thing for sure- I needed to protect this secret, at least for now.

As Insung sat down beside me, taking my hand in his, I suddenly felt guilty. I know it was him. I'm certain... since he was the only one I spent time with for the past month yet I couldn't bring myself to tell him, not yet. For now, all he needed to know was that I'm alright now. The rest would have to wait.

I lay back against the pillows, trying to calm the fluttering in my chest. The room was quiet except for the soft beeping of the monitor beside me.

"You need to relax," I told him, laughing. I never knew he was this caring not until his grip on my hand was so tight, as if he does not want to let go of me. "I'm fine and I won't be going anywhere." I jokingly said.

"You collapsed, Jihyo," Insung replied, his eyes wide with concern. "That's not nothing."

Kwangsoo snorted. "Hyung, I feel like you're overreacting. She just needs some rest."
