Chapter 225: Demands Of Friendship

In-Ha had not been speaking with Dan-Han in the last couple of days, except when necessary. He has also been maintaining an equal distance from Eun-sun even when he didn’t want to. On several occasions he had been tempted to dial her number or go visit her at the office but he had withheld himself from doing that. It hasn’t been easy especially when his feelings remained the same. He resented Dan-Han whenever he came home with her smell lingering all over him or with his lips slightly smudged with her lipstick. It wasn’t his fault he was feeling this way, he just couldn’t help it. He wanted to act normal and be with his friend and also with Eun-sun but it was hard to let go, they couldn’t just return to normal.

But after seeing the document that had been mailed to him by the private investigator he had hired, he knew he could no longer avoid speaking with Dan-Han. It was necessary most especially when it had something to do with Eun-sun.

He intentionally barged into Dan-Han’s office where he met the man with a stoic look and his death giving aura frightening the life out of his employees with his deathly gaze. The people standing in front of him were shivering and sweating in fear, because under Dan-Han’s cold gaze there was bound to be confusion in ones temperature.

In-Ha glanced at their faces and he almost chuckled out, they looked like they were about to cry. Dan-Han was truly a devil in human flesh. His cruelty knew no bound. When the staff saw In-Ha walk into the office their faces eased up a bit because they knew In-Ha had come to distract the demon boss, rumours had it that he and the young master Mo were the only ones who could annoy and distract him. They quickly bowed to him and he gave a low bow in return, hopefully he would save them.

“President Lee.” In-Ha casually greeted before plonking himself down on the seat across the huge desk, all in an attempt to annoy him which was something he was going to do while till he thinks they were even.

Dan-Han looked at his staff, “Redo everything and bring it back in four hours.” He ordered while they chorused, “Yes sir.”

Though they were relieved that they had just escape his fury, but did he only give them four hours? That was so small. But compared to being fired, they appreciated the four hours they had been given.

.....

Dan-Han looked at In-Ha intently, he had to admit he was surprised to see In-Ha there. He knew he was still very much angry with him and that was why he had respected him and had given him the space he needed. He knew he needed time to sort out his emotions and he was definitely going to come around but what he didn’t know was that it would be this soon.

“It’s good to have you back.” Dan-Han said as he lolled on his seat.

“I’m not here for you.” In-Ha bluntly told him.

“Really? But you’re in my office.”

“It doesn’t mean I’m here for you.” In-Ha refuted in an annoying tone, but Dan-Han didn’t mind.

Sitting up right and reaching out for the pen his desk so he could continue his work Dan-Han asked, “So why are you here then?”

In-Ha slipped his phone on the table and slide it towards Dan-Han. “Here.” In-Ha said. Dan-Han raised a brow and glanced at In-Ha before picking up the phone to look at what he had in there.

The name on the first line told him all he needed to know, he did a quick scroll and dropped the phone back on the desk without saying anything.

In-Ha looked at him with scrutiny. “I guess you already knew right?” In-Ha asked even when he already knew the answer to the question.

Dan-Han gazed at him and sighed.

“You’re always doing this.” In-Ha hissed at him. He was referring to Dan-Han withholding things from people just like what happened between them.

“You know that’s not what this is.” Dan-Han told him as he lolled back on his seat and kneaded the space between his brows. “Telling her wouldn’t be this hard if things weren’t so complicated.” He hissed.

“What do you mean?” In-Ha asked Inquisitively while Dan-Han gazed at him for a while in silence. In-Ha didn’t understand what complications Dan-Han was talking about. They both knew how Eun-sun had been looking for her father. Dan-Han might not have seen it but he had seen her cry. She had cried so bitterly it made him helpless.

“The fact that she has been looking for him for this long shows how much she cares about him and wants him back in her life, she’s relentless you know that. But the fact that she hasn’t found him since she started her search tells you-”

“He doesn’t want to be found.” In-Ha completed his sentence.

Dan-Han picked up the phone and looked at the pictures of the man that was supposed to be Eun-sun’s father and he felt repulsed. How did she even get mixed with such family members? How did a girl like her get to have parents like this?

“And his lifestyle isn’t something that I want her to be associated with. If people got to know this she wouldn’t just suffer humiliation, it would be far worse than that.” He told In-Ha. These where the things that have been withholding him from telling Eun-sun about this.

In-Ha sighed and also lolled back on his seat. “So what are you going to do?” He hated being the one asking that question. He had investigated her father’s whereabouts because he cared for her and he wanted to do something nice for her but now he couldn’t, because Eun-sun was now Dan-Han’s girl and he didn’t think it would be appropriate to poach Dan-Han’s responsibility from him.

Ah! the many things that friendship demanded. Too much of sacrifice perhaps?

Dan-Han was also clueless on what to do. He had promised himself he would always protect her and never make her cry, but this was sure going to bring so much tears to her face.

“I don’t know. But I know I have to tell her but when? I have no idea.”
