Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 124: Wrong Room

Hei-Ran couldn’t believe what just happened. She scowled at Eun-sun who found humour in what just happened and was deriving pleasure from her mystery.

“Stop laughing” Hei-Ran growled, but that only Eun-sun laugh at more. She was surprised when Hei-Ran pulled her the hand and started dragging her off to the stairs, as she kept looking back to ensure that Jinhai wasn’t looking at them. She took this chance to escape from that crazy fellow and his pretty sister, who – no offense- was very much crazy like him too.

“Running away from your future family huh?” Eun-sun teased.

“Eun-sun one more word from you and I’ll toss you down this stairs” She warned, her eyes staring daggers at her.

“Mmm” Eun-sun nodded as she tried to stiffle her laughter.

Meanwhile at the main floor of the club, Jinhai was intensely glaring at his sister.

“Hey bro, you’re hurting me” Ga-Yeon cried as she tried wriggling her hand from his hold.

.....

“You dare complain?” He asked angrily, as he let go of her hand. Ga-Yeon hissed at him, while she rubbed softly on her hurt wrist.

“What was the meaning of that? Why did you embarrass me like that?” Jinhai demanded angrily.

Ga-Yeon eyed him from head to toes and gravely hissed. “I didn’t embarrass you, I helped you. And what’s with the paralysed expression you had on your face a while ago?” She asked him, making him narrow his eyes at her.

“What paralysed look?” He asked confusedly.

“The one you had like this,” She tried making a replica of the look he had on his face on hers. “while you talking to her” Her expression made Jinhai chuckle.

“I had no such look on my face. Right now you look like an imbecile” Jinhai said amusedly while he tried not to chuckle again while Ga-Yeon smacked him. “Bro I would I have refuted your words back and called you an imbecile, but I can’t because you’re my elder brother but this I can say, you’re the brother to a beautiful imbecile” She said, while

Jinhai scoffed, hasn’t she indirectly addressed him as an imbecile?

“Don’t try to change the topic. Do you know you just embarrassed her. Hei-Ran doesn’t like things like that, you must have scared her” And probably destroyed all my efforts, he added in his head.

“You’ll have to apologize to her, delete that picture of her from your phone and un-inivite her from granpa’s party, go do that right now” He ordered. Ga-Yeon folded her hand across her chest as she looked at him pitiably, while she shook her head. Has her brother always been this stupid? Couldn’t he see she was doing that to him? What a noob.

Jinhai creased his brows when he noticed the way she was looking at him. “Ga-Yeon go apologize to her, and do as I’ve said” He ordered again.

She hissed and looked to the palace where they had Just been standing a while ago, “To who exactly?” She asked as she turned and tilted her head to the side, gesturing him to take a look.

Jinhai understood her gesture and looked. He was shocked to see that she was gone. He craned his neck to look around but he couldn’t see her, the place was crowded with people and it would be difficult to find her in such a place. A worried and disappointed look appeared on his face.

“I don’t want to believe, you’re looking like this because she’s gone. She’s in a club, she didn’t step into a field of land mines” She irritably rolled her eyes at him. Jinhai hissed as he turned to her, “She’s going on a date” He said with a pained expression, his face looking like a baby crying over it’s mother’s disappearance.

Ga-Yeon kept quiet for a moment before bursting out in laughter. “That’s why you want to cry?” She asked amid laughter, making Jinhai glare at him.

“Just shut up” He growled as he tried looking around again.

“You wouldn’t be so worried if you have marked her yours already” She told him, as she tried to stiffle her laugh, before Jinhai pounce on her.

“And you think I haven’t tried?” He asked, as he looked at her with stink eyes.

“Hey, don’t look at me that way” She raised her chin to him defiantly. She turned towards the direction of her friends, to see them signalling her to come over. She turned to look at her brother and sighed exasperatedly, he looked completely helpless.

“See I don’t know what’s going on between you and the girl you like but I think you haven’t made the right effort. And I don’t think she’s on a date either.” Her words made Jinhai snap her neck towards her and ask, “Why would you say that?” his tone was inquisitive and desperate for anything that would convince him right now.

Ga-Yeon tsked when she heard her brother. “Well I don’t see any girl taking a friend with her on a date have you?” She asked cocking a brow at him.

Jinhai kept quiet as he pondered about it. “But what-” He tried to say, but Ga-Yeon interjected him.

“See I don’t have the time to lecture a matured man like you right now. My girls are waiting for me,” she tilted her head to the direction of the VIP where her friends were waiting.

“But I can help you, but know my services are not free. So because I’m a good and loving sister who’s willing to help you with the love of your life, I’ll keep your card for a week”

“No way” Jinhai hurriedly refused. One card of his card being in her possession was equal to him being broke.

“You’re trying to be stingy? Okay fine I guess we can let her go on her dates then, while you watch?” She said tauntingly.

“I don’t need your help. I can get her myself” He pronounce, making her snicker.

“Yeah, good luck with that” She was being sarcastic.

Jinhai squinted his eyes as he looked at her. He had really tried his best to stay by Hei-Ran’s side for a very long time, but the more he tries the more she distance herself from him. If he only he could be more open about his feelings without being scared of her leaving him, and quitting her job.

“Do you think you can help me?” He finally asked. Since he hasn’t been able to help himself, maybe she could.

“Sure” She nodded her head as she tried to hide the malicious smile threatening to appear on her face.

“Fine, but three days. My card can only be with you for 3 days and no more” He told her.

Ga-Yeon pouted her lips to the side in a contemplative way before saying, “Deal”

“I’ll help you win your lady in no time” She declared bold. Jinhai wasn’t sure if he was making the right decision, but he replied, “Deal”

“Okay fine you go home, while I go spend your money” She chipped excitedly, as she turned to walk away.

“Don’t over do it” He called behind her, but he doubted if she heard him, because she was dancing away happily. He hissed frustratedly as he looked around the club one last time.

...

While Eun-sun kept on teasing Hei-Ran about her potential boyfriend, and the potential love he might have for her, Hei-Ran tried her best to ignore her.

But the more she ignored her by not saying anything, the more Eun-sun kept on going with her words. For a moment there she was beginning to miss the cold and expressionless Eun-sun who wouldn’t mind or react to any of the things that just happened down there.

“Just so you know I officially hate you” Hei-Ran said with a serious expression, while her and eyes sent daggers to her friend.

“Pfft you can never hate me. Even if I hate you, you’ll can never hate me, that’s your nature little Ran” Eun-sun said teasingly.

“Keep deceiving yourself” She snarled at her. “Instead of making fun of me why don’t act useful and help me look for the room number” Hei-Ran told her.

“No I won’t. You’re the one who brought us here, so that’s your responsibility. And why don’t you call Ji-Sang to come outside, that’ll be alot easier”

“Well you have his number why don’t you do it?” Hei-Ran rolled her eyes at her.

“Okay fine” Eun-sun was about to whip out her phone from her bag when Hei-Ran said, “I think I have seen it” she announced.

“Oh” Eun-sun replied as she slipped out her phone. She was looking at the door number, ‘Wasn’t the number supposed to be 9? so why was she opening the door to 6?’ Eun-sun thought to herself. But before she could say anything Hei-Ran had already opened the door and had pulled her with her.

“He-ll” Hei-Ran’s voice trailed off when she met two pairs of cold cold eyes staring at them.

“Ha, wrong room”
