Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 99: Plans Gone Wrong

Hey lovelies, I’m sorry for updating a wrong book here. I had a terrible mood swing yesterday, and I didn’t want to do anything other than update my books and sleep. So i didn’t notice I posted the wrong book and when my attention was called to it, I got the worse shock of my life, the chapter was lost from my phone. I had to rewrite another from scratch today. I’m super sorry about it. But I want to take permission to also post this as chapter 100, so please don’t open it for now. I’m yet to write today’s chap, I’m currently on it, it’ll be up in a few hours. I promise to make proper replacement as soon as I’m done writing it. I’m super sorry.

...

Dan-Han observed the way Eun-Sun wad staring at him like he was an alien with a hidden identity which she had just discovered. He understood the look in her eyes. It seems she was slowly understanding the fact that he was slowly pursuing her. Because that look on her face was that of unbelief.

“Yes, I want to spend time with you” Dan-Han replied in a firm tone. “Why do you look like it’s such a bad thing to do?” He said as he continued to hold her gaze.

Eun-sun didn’t want to accept the fact that what she was thinking was true, that her evil boss was taking a liking to her. No she didn’t think that was true. She must be imagining things. Yes, her imagination was running wild. This man hated her and he has been showing her in so many ways Since the day she had seen him at his house he had always tortured her, because of that debt. He loathed just as much as she did him, because he was overbearing, domineering, dangerous and prudent and that was only a few of the plethora of reasons why she hated him.

Wait! Did she forget to mention that the fact that he was con artist, who was trying the to swindle her out of money? Because that was exactly what had started her dislike for him.

Eun-sun jolted back to reality. She intensed her gaze on him. “Isn’t it a bad thing? Isn’t it obvious that you’re trying to keep me at your side so you can mentally torture me because of the that money and to compell me to do things for you in the name of that debt?” She asked in a defiant manner, her chin tilted up at him.

.....

Dan-Han’s countenance changed when he heard her reply. Was that all she thought of him? That he was a trickster of some sort?

“Is that what you really think of me?” Dan-Han spoke in a flat tone which was slightly hinted with a bit of sadness. Eun-sun felt a sudden prick in her heart when he asked spoke in that tone and with that dissapointed look on his face. To be honest she didn’t really think that way of him, at least not all the time. There were those few times when he had acted different towards her and at those moments she had questioned if the man’s true nature in her heart.

“Mr Lee-”

“It’s okay. I think I just have to work hard to change the kind of thoughts you have about me” He said in a determined tone.

“Huh?” She blinked at him in confusion.

“Come let’s take a look around” He said suddenly grabbing her hand and pulling her behind him. Eun-sun didn’t understand what was going on with her recently. She was always in a state of stupefaction whenever Dan-Han was around her or whenever he says something to her. And now he was holding her hands again and she couldn’t do anything about it. It was like whenever Dan-Han was around she became a spineless and witless girl. ‘How is he doing this?’ She asked herself.

Dan-Han who was dragging her did not know what they were supposed to do at the park. He knew people did come here for fun and stuff, but he had no idea what they were supposed to do right now. He simply wanted to spend time with her, and give a memorable view of the city and that’s why he had brought them there.

He paused to look at Eun-sun, maybe he should ask her what she’d like to do. Whatever she said that was what they were going to do. He turned to look at her and that was when he noticed she had her gaze fixed on something.

He followed her line of sight and found out she was looking at the sky ride. He looked back at her and asked, “Do you want to try that?” He asked pointing at machine which was high up in the sky.

Eun-sun stayed quiet for a while without answering him. She had heard his question, but she didn’t have an answer for him. She didn’t even have an answer for herself. Seeing it brought back memories of her childhood. She remembered how her father had encouraged her and accompanied her to take the ride back then. She remembered how she had clung on his arms like a koala and had said, “You don’t have to be scared Eun-Sun, daddy is a knight in shining armor and he’ll keep you safe. If the wind tries to take my baby I’m going to fight it and come out victorious. Relax honey, daddy’s not going to leave your side” He had assured her.

Those were the words he had said to her and she had believed him. Believed that he was her knight in shining armor, and that he was never going to leave her. But did he keep to his words? No! He didn’t. He left her without looking back, breaking every promise he ever made to her.

She looked away from the ride and replied, “No”

Dan-Han looked at her suspiciously. He noticed the sad look which flickered in her eyes and he knew she must have a relived a bad memory.

He looked around the park and his eyes fell at the arcade arena. “Do you want to go there?” He asked pointing at it.

Eun-Sun glanced at what he was pointing at. She couldn’t believe that was the suggestion he could make. What were they? Five?

What kind of games would they play in there? DDR dance game, or they’d shoot some hoops or bawl. She scoffed in her mind. Did he miss out on his child hood or what?

Before Eun-Sun could voice out her opinion or reject his idea, Dan-Han had started dragging her there. He wasn’t even going to wait for her reply? So what was the need of asking her anyway?

She had come to the realization that was how Dan-Han worked. He was an impulsive man. He made the decisions without seeking your opinion about things. This was why she liked flying solo, because humans would always put themselves first.

She let him lead them into the game house. She looked around while Dan-Han purchased some tokens. Looking at the token in his hands, it was then it dawned on her that they were really going to do this. Like some ten year old kids.

“So where should we start first?” Dan-Han asked as he looked around.

” It’s your call” Eun-Sun casually replied. She wasn’t interested in any of these. She couldn’t remember the last time she had been here...okay she could. It was after her father left. She hasn’t allowed herself to go close to a park since then and even if she wanted to, that was a luxury she couldn’t afford.

“Alright let’s start with that” Dan-Han said pointing at the arcade hoop. “You know how to right?” Dan-Han asked with tilted brows. Eun-Sun just rolled her eyes and started walking towards it. If that was what he wanted, why not. Thankfully she had an idea about basketball so this should be easy, and also hoop wasn’t as high as high as the normal ones in a basketball court, bringing it to her advantage.

Soon they both started to play and everyone passing by could see the disappointed look on Dan-Han’s face. This wasn’t what he had planned out. He had picked this game because he had thought that Eun-Sun Wouldn’t be good at it and then he’d have the opportunity of teaching her and also be close to her. He wasn’t a pervert who’d take advantage of getting close to her body under the pretence of teaching her. He just wanted to score himself some brownie points in her heart, and try to bond with her. But unfortunately the statistics that revealed that women had little to no interest in shooting hoops had failed him sorely.

Eun-Sun smirked in her mind when she saw the dissatisfied look on Dan-Han’s face. Even though she had started this game with no interest in heart, she was beginning to enjoy the game, especially when as she kept seeing that disgruntled look on his face. Although she didn’t know why he was looking that way, she had a feeling it had to do with the game and she liked that he was unhappy. This would give him a feel of how she felt when he kept commanding her around. He was going to have a test of his own medicine.

What ever she was doing that was making him unhappy, she was going to continue doing it. Hehehe.

.....

Happy new week to you all. I wish you have a great and stressless week ahead.
