Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 109: Dan-Han Is Angry

With a lethal glare in his eyes, In-Ha hissed at Eun-sun.

“Damn you, you brute” In-Ha cussed as he winced in pain, but Eun-sun wasn’t bothered by his whimpering. To her, he deserved it and more.

How dare he call her a cow?

“I don’t mind stepping on the other” She threatened as she made an attempt to step on his other toes.

“Ah, Ah, Ah, Please don’t. Mighty goddess I’m at your mercy” He hopped backward, pleading with her. Eun-sun rolled her eyes at him, as she snorted. She kept eyeing as he foddled with his hurting foot. When he wouldn’t stop whining, she snapped. “Stop whining, or else I might hurt more than just your toes” She snarled.

In-Ha snapped his head towards her in disbelief. He scoffed with disbelief as he looked at her. “Eun-sun are you tout? Do you know you’re such a bully? How can you bully a man like this?” He said pointing an accusing finger at her.

“You’re just a softie” She hissed, while In-Ha eyed her wickedly. Why was he always being bullied by her. Last time she had flipped over her shoulders and had hurt his wrist, not he was sure his metatarsals and phalanges have all been fractured.

.....

Looking her up from head to toes, he wondered what sort of strength, she had.

‘Deceitful body size”

She was what they called, small but mighty.

Eun-sun frowned slightly when she noticed the way he kept wincing in pain, while trying to flex his feet. She must have really hurt a lot. She started to feel regretful for stepping to hard on his feet. Maybe a smack on the arm would have served same purpose. She opened her mouth to say sorry but she clamped it shut again. This wasn’t entirely her fault, if he hadn’t insulted her by calling her a cow, then she wouldn’t have been violent towards him.

He should be lucky if he only breaks a toe or two. If this was to be some other guy, he or she would probably be in the theater having a lot of reconstructing surgeries by now.

After some minutes of wincing, whining and crying -of not literally- In-Ha finally stood upright to look at her, but not without glaring of course.

“Eun-sun remind me to never fall in love with you or anyone like you” ‘If only he could, but he was sure that wouldn’t be possible’ He added in his mind. i????????????????????????. co????

“I think that would be the best decision you’ll ever made in your life” She replied.

“So what are you treating me to?” He asked. “And I’ll be eating more as compensation for the pain you inflicted on me”

“Just say you’re glutton, and you want to live off me even though you’re rich” Eun-sun shot him a mock-glare.

“Of course, I’m a glutton. How do you think I got my healthy looks from, from gluttonous eating of course” He replied making Eun-sun scoff.

“I have been saying this alot in my mind, but I’ll say it to your face now. You’re CRAZY” She hissed as she rolled her eyes.

In-Ha scoffed in disbelief when he heard that. “So you’ve been calling me crazy behind my back?” He asked with surprised eyes. Well he shouldn’t be surprised, she wasn’t like other girls. She had no filter, she was real to herself says what’s on her mind, behave the way she likes and only her could bully him or cuss him like this. So he shouldn’t be surprised at all that she cuss him behind his back or even in front of him.

“Of course I’ve been cussing you here” She pointed a finger to her head, making In-Ha look at her with incredulity. He didn’t know what to say to her anymore.

“Come on, let’s just go” He said. He didn’t have what it takes to banter with this girl, she doesn’t play fair at all.

“I’m not taking you to a fancy restaurant just so you know. I do-” Her words trailed off when her eyes caught sight of the person staring at them.

It was Dan-Han. Her body stiffened when she met his gaze. Even though he was standing feets away from her, she could feel the cold glare in his eyes. W-why was he staring at her like that. Her heart started to race frantically.

“Eun-sun, what’s wrong?” In-Ha asked when he noticed how she has suddenly stiffened and was no longer speaking. He followed her line of sight and he also saw the demonized man who was walking up to them with his strong gaits.

He looked from Dan-Han back to Eun-sun and he couldn’t believe it. ‘No way!’ He screamed in his mind.

His pumpkin was scared?! In-Ha couldn’t believe it. From the way she was stiff, and how she has pursed her lip, he was tempted to laugh, but be he knew he shouldn’t.

He watched as Dan-Han walked closer to them and stopped right in front of Eun-sun and she involuntarily stiffened even more. In-Ha immediately placed his hand over Eun-sun’s shoulder and pulled her closer in a protective way. He was going to protect his little pumpkin from reapers like his friend.

“Hey bro?” He greeted with a chirpy smile, but Dan-Han didn’t look at him, but rather his eyes were focused on the hand placed on Eun-sun’s shoulder.

“Pres-ident Lee?” Eun-sun called out softly. Her voice turning hoarse and dry. But Dan-Han did not say anything. He looked from In-Ha’s hand wrapped around her shoulders to Eun-sun who was comfortably allowing it. She wasn’t making any effort of wriggling herself out from his arm. And if he were to be the one she’d always want to be a thousand feet far away from him.

Was she more comfortable with In-Ha than with him? She doesn’t like In-Ha right? The thought of Eun-sun liking In-Ha made him angry, and his eyes turned dark.

Eun-sun noticed the way Dan-Han was. staring at her, his gaze was chilling and piercing, making her look away. Her actions made Dan-Han even more livid.

“Hey Ice King, stop scaring my baby” In-Ha said to Dan-Han earning him a glare from him.

Dan-Han looked back at Eun-sun, “You forgot your lunch pack” He said coldly, stretching out his hand which was holding her lunch box.

Eun-sun looked down at it without trying to receive it. It was all his fault she had forgotten to take her lunch pack back. If he hadn’t done the things he did back in his office, maybe she’d have gone back to take it.

“Ms Park?” Dan-Han called out, when she kept staring at the box without making an attempt to receive it.

Eun-sun snapped back to reality and slowly reached for the lunch pack.

“Thank you” She muttered.

“Mmm” Dan-Han nodded.

He looked back at In-Ha who still had his hand wrapped around Eun-sun’s shoulder. Only God knows how much he wanted to chop his hand off right now, but he withheld himself from doing so.

“Why are you here?” Dan-Han finally asked him.

“Tigress here is taking me out for dinner” In-Ha beamed. He was excited about having dinner with Eun-sun, more than anyone he had ever had in his life.

Dan-Han snapped his head to look at Eun-sun who was trying her very best not to look at him. Everytime she looked at his face, she remembers just how close they had been at his office. And the way he had said those words into her ears, with his warm breath caressing her face and ears. Thinking about it now, her heart began to beat even more haphazardly, and her cheek began to feel warm.

“Dinner?” He asked looking at Eun-sun but she was still not looking at him.

“Yeah, dinner. And no you can’t join us. Don’t want you scaring off my baby with your stoic attitude” In-Ha told him with a firm tone. He didn’t want Dan-Han making a repeat of what he did at the lunch they had together. It was obvious his presence made Eun-sun uncomfortable. And secondly he wanted it to be just them.

Dan-Han couldn’t hide the frown forming between his brows. He looked at Eun-sun and the fact that she wasn’t looking at him was making him angry. Just a while ago she was freely talking to In-Ha, and now she wouldn’t dare to look at him.

Dan-Han was about to say something when Chang-wok made an appearance.

“Sir the car is here” He told him. But Dan-Han kept his gaze fixed at Eun-sun.

“There’s no need” He said in a very cold tone before turning around to leave. Secretary Chang-wok was surprised by his boss abrupt change of mind. Just now he had hurried him to get the car and had hurriedly walked out of a meeting like he had an emergency, but now what?
