Pay With Your Heart

Dan-Han was fuming with anger when he walked back into his office. Not just anger of Eun-sun avoiding his gaze and comfortably being with In-Ha, but also that of just letting her go like that. He felt regretful for doing that. He should have done something to prevent her from going with In-Ha.

He knew his friend well and that friend of his, was a Casanova and a chronic one at that. He loved chasing after women most especially the types that weren't easy to get. The man loves the chase, he practically lived for it. And he had just let his woman go with him just like that.

In-Ha's conquest were innumerable and he wasn't going to allow his woman to be among those number. He really hated himself for letting his anger get to him.

He looked at Secretary Chang-wok who was trying to be invincible from where he stood. This mood of his boss was the kind of mood that would get him killed if he as much as breathe aloud. He has never seen Dan-Han in such a mood before. There were times where he was angry, but he still kept a stoic look on his face, but now he was deeply frowning like he could murder someone and he didn't want to be a scape goat.

"Trace his number" Dan-Han said to Secretary Chang-wok who was suddenly stupified by his boss' order.

"Master— Kang?" Secretary Chang-wok asked with uncertainty. He wasn't sure if he heard right. Was his boss going to trail his friend now?

Dan-Han's death glare on him immediately got him bobbing his head vigorously. He quickly rushed out of the office to carry out his new assignment. He'd be condemned to death if he as much as dally for three seconds.

...

In-Ha's car

Eun-sun was glaring at the man who was laughing non-stop like he has just heard the world's most funniest joke. He has been laughing really hard since they left the company.

"Laugh one more time and I will throw out of the window, I promise you" Eun-sun sneered, her eyes narrowed into slits.

"Oh please, don't even begin to threaten me now. You were all shaken the moment you saw Dan-Han just now. Now you have the guts to threaten me?" In-Ha asked before bellowing out into another round of laughter, making Eun-sun scowl even more intensely.

"You should have seen your face. You looked like you have been drained of blood" In-Ha threw his head back and laughed even more. His shoulders shaking as his laughter vibrated through them.

"In-Ha!!" Eun-sun called angrily. His laughter was riling her up.

"Fine I won't laugh anymore" He hissed, as he tried to stiffle his laughter. " You can't say a word before Dan-Han but you go all Mike Tyson on me?" He muttered under his breath, but she still heard him anyway.

Eun-sun eyed him evilly before looking outside the window, completely ignoring him. Thoughts of Dan-Han suddenly flashed through her mind. She remembered the way he had looked at her just outside the building, like he had caught her cheating on him, like he was vexed with her for cheating.

She closed her eyes and slowly shook her head when she started to feel like she might just have done that.

'What are you thinking Eun-sun!' She cringed inside her mind.

In-Ha briefly took his eyes from the road and glanced at her. The side view of her face was just as beautiful as her whole face. She looked pretty even with her face bare and with her fiesty and aggressive attitude coupled with her awesome personality, he couldn't help but like her. Gosh he liked this petite lady!

"What??!!"

Eun-sun snapped her head towards him when she suddenly heard the screeching sound of the tyres and In-Ha yelling 'What?'.

"What?" She asked in shock.

Eun-sun looked outside through the windscreen, her heart was beating frantically. "Did you hit someone?" She asked as she craned her neck to look outside, but there was nothing there.

She turned look back at In-Ha who was looking at nothing ahead like he just found the world greatest treasure. She followed his line of sight but she couldn't see what was so intriguing to him. His eyes were fully widened and he had an incredulous look on his face. Like a deep secret has just be unearthed.

"In-Ha are you okay?" She asked in concern. He looked too shocked and surprised.

She watched as he slowly turned his head to look at her. He was literally gawking at with wide eyes and his mouth agape. His eyelids were fluttering as he stared at her in bewilderment.

"What? What did you see? What's wrong?" She asked with concern even though his gaze on her was making conscious and uncomfortable. He was behaving strange and it was beginning to irk her out. She had the urge to slap his head and jolt him back to reality, but she was also concerned. There must be a reason for him acting this way, so she decided to keep her cool.

In-Ha couldn't believe the nonsense that just came out of his mind. Did he just say 'like'? Where the hell was that coming from? From which abyss did he just pick up that world?

There was no way that was possible. He didn't like her, he has never liked anyone since.....well you know when. There was no way that's possible. His libertine attitude was what prompted him to start this chase, and the fact that she kept pushing him away unlike the other girls which he has been with, intrigued him even more. Her aloof attitude towards him had heightened everything, but not once did he think he liked her.

He didn't! There was no way he was capable of liking anybody – any woman to be more specific. He was all about pleasure and nothing else. He shook his head in disbelief. There was no way that was possible.

Eun-sun turned to the back when she heard cars honking behind them and that was enough to jolt In-Ha back to his senses. He also turned around to see cars waiting behind them, honking angrily.

He immediately revved up the car and started driving.

"I'm sorry" He apologized without looking at her, his gaze fixed on the road. He was yet to recompose himself.

"So can you tell me what dropped into your mind that made you act like that?" Eun-sun asked inquisitively. She didn't see the reason why In-Ha would endanger their lives by abruptly stopping in the middle of the road. What if they met with an accident?

In-Ha turned to look at her, but he quickly turned away, before letting out an awkward laugh. "Ha, I just thought about something crazy" He said in a jocular manner, still laughing awkwardly. Eun-sun felt like smashing his head against the wheel. She scoffed inwardly. He thought about something crazy and he thought of killing her with his craziness??

"Next time you want to have your crazy thoughts make sure I'm not sitted in your car" She snarled, as she looked at him with stink eyes.

"And take the next turn" She ordered before looking out the windows again, while In-Ha nodded obediently. Her mind was already preoccupied with alot of things which she didn't even want to think about.

Soon they arrived the restaurant. It was a low key restaurant and it was no where close to the swanky ones which In-Ha had been. There were seats set outside and some few customers were happily enjoying their meal.

Eun-sun snickered when she observed the incredulous look on In-Ha's face.

"I told you I can't afford a fancy restaurant. But believe me you'll love their food. They serve the best sweet and sour ribs in town" She told him before walking ahead, leaving him behind.

It was left for him to join her and stay there.

He asked for food and she's providing it.

......

Not far from where they were sitted was a black sedan parked just across the road. A pair of eyes glued to the couple's which were sitted at a table in front of the restaurant. The cold glint in his eyes was enough to make icicles pop from underneath the table, throwing away what every food they were enjoying. 

Looking at the pleasurable look on Eun-sun's face as she ate the black bean noodle, Dan-Han felt like murdering someone. She was doing the things she was supposed to do with him with some other guy, although it was his friend, Dan-Han still didn't care.

When it comes to her, his friends, his father were like every other man. He didn't want them sharing a meal with her, or doing the things he hasn't done with her.

But here she was doing that with In-Ha.
