Beneath The Glitter

As Hoon chatted with his friends, he couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment wash over him. It had been a long time since he'd felt this way, and he knew it was all thanks to Masika and his grandmother.

After wrapping up his call, Hoon decided to check on his guests. He made his way to the third floor, where he found Mrs. Kim helping Masika and his grandmother get settled.

"Everything okay here?" Hoon asked, smiling at the trio.

Masika looked up, her eyes sparkling. "Yes, Hoon. Mrs. Kim has been taking great care of us."

Hoon nodded, his eyes meeting Mrs. Kim's. "I knew I could count on you, Mrs. Kim."

As Mrs. Kim excused herself to attend to other duties, Hoon sat down with Masika and his grandmother. "So, what do you think of our home here?" he asked.

Masika's eyes widened. "It's amazing, Hoon. I've never seen anything like it."

Hoon chuckled. "I'm glad you like it. I want you to feel at home here."

As they chatted, Hoon realized that Masika was still getting used to her new surroundings. He made a mental note to show her around the city soon.

As the night wore on, Hoon spent more time with Masika and his grandmother, getting to know them better and sharing stories about his own life since he left them when was eleven years.

As they prepared for bed, Hoon walked Masika to her room, his arm around her shoulders. "I'm glad you're here, Masika," he said softly.

Masika smiled up at him, her eyes shining. "I'm glad too, Hoon."

As Hoon bid Masika goodnight and returned to his own room, he couldn't shake off the feeling that his life was about to change in ways he never thought possible.

Hoon had never loved anyone when he was away from them even when girls used to throw themselves at him, his heart belonged to only one person, Masika.

Hoon's reunion with his grandmother and Masika had brought him immense joy, but he knew he had to keep Masika's uniqueness a secret for now.

He couldn't risk exposing her to the world, not yet. There might be threats, people who wouldn't understand or accept her for who she was.

As he lay in bed, Hoon's mind wandered to his plans for Masika. He wanted to marry her, to make her his own, but he knew it wouldn't be easy. He had to protect her, to keep her safe from those who might seek to harm her.

The assistant had already shared the news of the grandmother and Masika's arrival with the other staff members. However, he had kept Masika's uniqueness a secret, as warned by Hoon.

Rumors about the mysterious CEO of J&K Conglomerate continued to circulate in the media. The board members knew him, but they had been warned not to talk about him. Speculation about his age, appearance, and personal life ran rampant.

Despite the rumors, those who knew Hoon couldn't help but admire him. They saw a brilliant businessman, a shrewd strategist, and a kind heart. The old women on the board were particularly fond of him, praising his good looks and charming smile.

As the rumors continued to swirl, Hoon remained focused on his priorities: protecting Masika and making her happy. He knew that the world would eventually find out about her, but for now, he was determined to keep her safe.
