Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 120: She Hates Me

Stepping out of the taxi, Eun-sun kept adjusting the gown she had on. She wasn’t in the slightest comfortable in it. There was a reason why she hasn’t worn the gown since the first time she had tried it out during the fresher’s bonfire back in her University days. And of course, Hei-Ran had been the brain behind that choice of clothing. And now here she was again wearing that same gown....thanks again to best friend.

“I really hate this. I believe I would have been more comfortable in one of my comfy clothes” She complained as she kept pulling the gown down. “And it’s just Ji-Sang’s party, nothing else” She hissed, but Hei-Ran simply ignored her as she paid the taxi driver.

The silver gown Eun-sun had on, had a short-sleeved, round collared design, and part of the body consisted of a partially transparent chiffon. It was a beautiful gown that stopped an inch or two above her knee and made Eun-sun appears pure and elegant but still exuded the sexiness which was appropriate for the night.

Hei-Ran couldn’t decide what to do with Eun-sun’s hair so she had let the hair flow freely to her shoulders.

She looked herself over for the upteempth time, her brows narrowed together and a light frown settled on her face. She was about to complain again that she was overly dressed but Hei-Ran stood in front of her and ferociously glared at her as if silently daring her to say something really stupid. Eun-sun clamped her mouth shut and didn’t say a word despite the fact that she really wasn’t comfortable with her outfit.

“You look beautiful and you should wear things like this more often, I mean you look really hot and sexy. No one would know you have these curves underneath you, if you keep wearing baggy clothes” Hei-Ran tutted.

“Like you do them yourself, and no one is supposed to know either” Eun-sun said sarcastically, as she rolled her eyes. Hei-Ran didn’t wear such clothes like this despite the fact that she had a lot lying dorman in her wardrobe.

.....

“Blame Song Jinhai for that” Hei-Ran growled, while Eun-sun hissed and looked away from the girl’s face to the building behind her. It was at this point that she realized what kind of building they were standing in front of.

Eun-sun furrowed her brows and glanced at Hei-Ran who was now aware that Eun-sun had realized the place they were going for the party.

“Su Hei-Ran” Eun-sun called out in a stern voice as she stared at the lady who was trying not to look at her face.

“Hmm” She mumbled out.

“Why are we standing in front of a club?” She asked. She had been so focused on her gown that she didn’t observe her environment well. How could she have missed the songs blasting from inside the club? Or the people hanging around?

“A club?” Hei-Ran faked a gasp as she turned her head to look at the structure Eun-sun was referring to. Her eyes fluttering innocently like she really had no idea.

“I didn’t know it was -”

“Lie one more time and I’ll kick your butt to space” Eun-sun threatened. She could see past Hei-Ran’s pretence. Maybe she could fool others but definitely not her.

“I’m not ly-” Her words trailed when Eun-sun stared at her wickedly. “Okay fine I knew okay. I knew you weren’t going to agree to coming to a club and that’s why i didn’t tell you” She finally admitted. There was no need for lying.

“And you think I still want to go?” Eun-sun cocked her brows at her.

“Common we’re already here and it would be a waste of time and effort if we leave now, and don’t forget it’s just to say goodbye to Ji-Sang” Hei-Ran tried to convince her, but Eun-sun didn’t look like she was getting swayed anytime soon.

“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. It was the only way to get you to come” Hei-Ran apologized.

“Is this really to send our well wishes to Ji-Sang or an opportunity for you to hunt for a boyfriend and get your mother off your back?” Eun-sun looked at her suspiciously.

Hei-Ran awkwardly scratched the back of her head. “Well it was entirely about Ji-Sang at first, but then I decided what’s wrong with a little fun too. Why not make lemonade out of a lemon huh??” she flashed an awkward smile to Eun-sun who hissed at her.

Eun-sun kept looking at the girl, she was about to say something, when Hei-Ran gasped dramatically.

“Holy bloody Mary!! Eun-sun hide me” She gasped when her gaze fell on something or rather someone behind Eun-sun’s back. She immediately bent down to hide herself.

“What is it?” Eun-sun asked with concern when Hei-Ran behaved like that.

“I think Satan just opened my records in hell. Please don’t back” She cried out making Eun-sun really confused. She quickly grabbed Eun-sun’s hand as she tried to run away, maybe hopefully she hasn’t been spotted. Why was lady luck always against her like this.

“Stop right there, Su Hei-Ran!”

Private Room

“Jae-Hyun you’re such a stupid boy. It doesn’t occur to you to ever call or come visit us Right? Such a useless thing” In-Ha cussed while glaring at him.

“Visit you? I have a job remember? Not everyone has the luxury of leaving their place of work to come for a vacation” Jae-Hyun replied him.

“But here you are” In-Ha pointed out sarcastically.

“Well that’s because the great master Lee is here. Why should I come hangout with the man who owns the cash, when I can hang out with the man who owns the money plate. Kang In-Ha you’re still a small fly, don’t overestimate yourself” Jae-Hyun said.

“Me?” In-Ha was shocked by Jae-Hyun’s insult. The guy has grown some balls.

Dan-Han who was slowly sipping on his wine chuckled lightly at their exchange. They’ll never grow up.

“Jae-Hyun you come visiting sometimes, maybe you can save In-Ha from being bored at home” ‘And from coming to my company for lunch and dinner dates’ He added in his mind.

“Is that really a request from you?” Jae-Hyun asked Dan-Han curiously. “Because if it is, then you know this is a great opportunity to ask for something in return” Jae-Hyun shamelessly said with expectant eyes. In-Ha couldn’t believe his ears when he heard Jae-Hyun.

“You’re not a true friend Mo Jae-Hyun. You’re worse than a traitor. Asking for a reward just to visit me” In-Ha hissed, but Jae-Hyun tsked at him and returned his attention back to Dan-Han.

“If it’s a request, then maybe you can help redo my office, and operating room 4. I think-”

“Forget it. I think In-Ha can manage very well” Dan-Han interjected him, without even looking at him. In-Ha stared at Dan-Han in stupefaction. He couldn’t believe Dan-Han had just backed out on asking Jae-Hyun to come over to his house because he didn’t want to spend money.

“Do I mean so little to you guys?” In-Ha cringed, while Jae-Hyun scoffed.

“Not just little master Kang, but meaningless”

“You’re the one who is meaningless. In fact all your past girlfriend’s and your current girlfriend are all meaningless” In-Ha refuted as he glared at Jae-Hyun.

“I hate the both of you. But I won’t mind you, I know both are Just jealous because I’m the handsome hunk among the three of us. I know that causes a whole lot of low self esteem and that’s where all this venoms are coming from” In-Ha said boastfully, while Jae-Hyun threw his head back and laughed.

“Why are you laughing?” In-Ha asked, his brow tilted to the side.

“Do you even need to ask? Don’t you know the reason why?”Jae-Hyun asked amid laughter.

“I wouldn’t be laughing if I knew right?” In-Ha asked back irritably, eyeing him wickedly. Jae-Hyun’s cynical laughter was really annoying and his frown deepened when Jae-Hyun laughed harder.

“Kang In-Ha you’re really delusional. Even if I do 10 surgeries on you, you still wouldn’t look half as handsome as president Lee. Don’t deceive yourself” His words almost made In-Ha kill him on the spot. Seeing the contorted look on In-Ha’s face made Jae-Hyun laughed even more and it sort of affected Dan-Han who let out a big chuckle. And that was it took for In-Ha to pick up his glass of wine and stand up angrily, ready to leave their company.

“You guys are horrible and you’ll rot in hell” He glared at the pair of friends before walking away.

“Where are you going to?” Jae-Hyun asked as he tried to stiffle his laughter, but that was really difficult, especially with In-Ha acting like that.

“Somewhere other than being with you monsters” He hissed as he walked away.

“Did you really have to do that?” Dan-Han asked as he tried not to show his amused expression.

“What you mean, tease In-Ha?” Jae-Hyun asked, while Dan-Han nodded.

“Of course, he needs to have a taste of his own medicine. He should know I’m not an easy target all the time and I’m pretty sure he just used this as an excuse to go look for a girl. That dude is thick skinned, even hides don’t measure up to the thickness of his skin” He said as he gulped up his glass. He dropped his glass on the table before shifting closer to Dan-Han.

“So tell me, how’s your woman coming along?” Jae-Hyun curiously asked, making Dan-Han to cock his brow at him. “What woman?” Dan-Han asked in confusion.

“The one we talked about in my office?” Dan-Han sighed exasperatedly when he realized who Jae-Hyun was referring to. He had mentioned somethings about her to Jae-Hyun when he went to the hospital for a test the last time.

Jae-Hyun frowned when Dan-Han sighed deflatedly, and sunk deep into the sofa.

“That girl hates me, and she doesn’t even try to hide it. If I give her a loaded gun, she’ll shoot at me with missing one bullet” He hissed.

Jae-Hyun was surprised. This was the longest and emotion filled sentence Dan-Han had ever shared with him, even if it was a feeling of frustration. He was almost tempted to laugh but he dared not to. Dan-Han was not In-Ha. This one will drain his blood and drink it for wine, so instead of laughing or chuckling like he wanted to he asked, “What did you do to her?”

Dan-Han hissed, “Nothing. That woman is just too difficult. But I’m not giving up” He replied.

Jae-Hyun kind of found it hard to believe that Dan-Han did nothing wrong. When has he never done something wrong. He even talks and smiles the wrong way.

To be honest, he was sure only a crazy woman with a weird passion for scary men would agree to him.

So whoever this girl was, he’ll probably offer a word of prayer because she was in for a tough one.
