Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 201: Get Him Back

‘Dan-Han’s fiancee?’

Mi-Ok and her mother looked utterly surprised to hear what Mrs Lee had said. They looked at Eun-sun and then at back at Mrs Lee in utter disbelief.

“What’s did you say?” Mrs Choi asked shock. She didn’t think she had heard well. Dan-Han had a fiancee already?

“I said this Dan-Han’s fiancee?” Mrs Lee gently replied, before turning to Mi-Ok who’s face was filled with utter disbelief.

“I’m sorry dear, but you know how men are. You can’t force them into making their choices. I hope you see someone better” She said apologetically, but Mi-Ok wasn’t listening to what she was saying at the moment. Her heart was raging.

Dan-Han has a fiancee?

Dan-Han picked this girl over her? This trash?’ She asked her herself. She was livid, her bones were seething with anger as she stared at Eun-sun coldly, but Eun-sun didn’t bother to look at her. She had a nonchalant look on her face as she sipped from her cup of tea.

.....

The tea was tasty. Now she understood why these women were seated there, drinking tea. Whoever made it was really good. Eun-sun thought to herself she was too immersed with the tea to be bothered by the brat glaring at her.

“Madam Lee, this isn’t fair. The children liked each other”

Mrs Lee almost scoffed in her mind. Where they that desperate? Dan-Han liked her daughter? If she didn’t know her son she’d almost believe her. Dan-Han had never liked anybody. After all the countless dates she had compelled to go, he had never shown interest in any of the girls. So how did he like her daughter? Well that wasn’t her cup of tea.

She looked away from Mrs Choi and looked at Mi-Ok again, “Mi-Ok dear, auntie is really sorry. I hope you find who likes you soon.” She apologized again.

Mi-Ok looked at her and flashed her a stiff smile before nodding a head in fake understanding.

“It’s no worry aunty. President Lee is a man of his own, and it is expected” She said flashing an almost sincere smile.

“Thanks dear. It’s good you understand. You’re such a beautiful girl” Mrs Lee smiled back. Mrs Choi was speechless as she kept staring at Mrs Lee and the supposed fiancee. She felt humiliated especially when there were so many people staring at her with mocking eyes.

“Let’s go” She said to Mi-Ok who looked at Eun-sun one more time before storming away with her mother.

“I’m sorry dear, it’s all my fault” Mrs Lee apologized to Eun-sun.

“Auntie don’t do that. It’s not yours fault”

Meanwhile outside the building, Mi-Ok and her mother were fuming.

“Damn that Mrs Lee, who the hell does she think she is? How dare she embarrass me like that in front of everyone by introducing that girl as president Lee’s fiancee?!” She demanded angrily as they sat in the car.

“How dare they do this to us? Your father is going to kill me. What do we do now?” Mrs Choi asked in desperation, as she turned to her daughter.

Mi-Ok was lost in thought so much she didn’t hear her mother rant. Mrs Choi was riled up when she didn’t get a response from her daughter.

“You know this is all your fault. You couldn’t even seduce a man properly, and you let someone steal her away from you. You’re so useless”

“Mother if you can just shut up and let me think!” She roared angrily startling her mother.

“How dare you?”

“Just leave me alone. That bitch!!!” She seethed as she clenched her hand in anger her nails digging into her palms.

“I’m going to get him back, and that girl.... I’m going to make her wish she had never been born” She said through gritted teeth.

Outside the Su Mansion

Hei-Ran looked at the house in front of her and her heart pounded erratically. She took a deep breath to calm herself down but it wasn’t working. She looked at Jinhai who was taking a call a few feet from her and a smile split her lips. The memory of that night came into her head.

She remembered how he had closed the space between them, stared into her eyes and had, said, “Because I want to raise your standards of dating”

She blinked in confusion as she continued to stare at him, or rather as she held her breath because he was standing so close to her, his hot breath was fanning her face, his gaze locked with her with her. For the first time she realized he had chestnut brown eyes.

“I... don’t understand you” She had said almost in a whisper. There was a way he was staring at her and it was making it difficult for her to breath.

Jinhai gently rubbed her cheek with the back of his hand, his eyes not leaving her for a minute.

“Because I want you to think of me, when this whole charade stops. I want to wish you had a man a like me, I want you to see every other guy out there as trash because none can treat you as much as I did” He said in a soft and gentle voice. It was the gentlest voice Hei-Ran had heard him speak in, and it was made goosebumps crawl over her body.

Hei-Ran still didn’t understand what he meant by all those. Why would he want her to feel that way? It didn’t make sense.

Still staring at him, she asked again, “Why? Why...why do you want me to feel that way?”

Because that’s my punishment to you” He had replied in that same tone.

“To earth Hei-Ran”

Hei-Ran was startled when she heard him yell, snapping his finger at her face. She blinked her eyes a thrice as she stared at him.

“What were you thinking about?” He asked with a worried frown. She had been too lost in thought, and he wondered what the problem was.

‘What was she thinking about?’

“You”
