Pay With Your Heart

Eun-sun almost felt her heart seize when he said that into her ears. His piercing gaze on her made her uncomfortable and the his hot breath grazing her skin and ears was making her have goosebumps, and her throat dry.

"Park Eun-sun you're doing a lot of things to me and i want to punish you" He said as he tugged a lock of her hair behind her ears. Eun-sun eyes grew wide, even wide enough to nearly fall out of it's sockets. She hasn't done anything wrong to him. He was the one who was doing everything wrong. If only he knew how she badly she wanted to wriggle herself from there and probably jab him on his side with elbow, give him a shoulder flip and smack that pretty face of his till it's all crimson red. But as much as she thought of it the more she didn't have the guts to do it. Dan-Han was no ordinary man, and she knew she couldn't do such to him, and there was also that effect he had on her that makes her numb and blank, not able to do it say anything to him except mutter his name stutteringly which of course has become the new 'normal' when he was around.

"Mr Le-" She tried to speak, her eyes darting from one place to another, refusing to keep her gaze on his face. And why was he looking more handsome when he was standing this close to her?

'Park Eun-sun!! I cuss you, what are you even thinking at a time like this?" She chided herself in her head. He's taunting you and probably about to make your dream come true and you're thinking he's handsome??

She facepalmed herself inwardly.

Don't blame her. She might be a strong, complicated and difficult character but she was still a girl after all. A girl who'll always acknowledge and appreciate the beauty of a man if he truly deserves it.

"Shh" He hushed her as he leaned in a bit closer. "First you let In-Ha touch you, and you share a meal with him, and now you don't want to see me too. Park Eun-sun are you trying to make me jealous? Because if that's what you're trying to do, then you're doing a good job at it"

"I -i'm not –"

"Then is this how you treat a man that likes you?" He asked in a very cold tone. Dan-Han didn't know what has come over him. It seems like he couldn't pull away from her anymore, and he just wanted to tell her how angry he was at her. She has neglected him yesterday, when he had intentions of taking her home. Not only did she leave with In-Ha, she had shared a meal with him, laughed at whatever jokes he told her, when she hasn't even offered as much as a smile at him. Wasn't she being too cruel towards him?

Eun-sun didn't know what has suddenly come over him. She couldn't keep cool anymore. She couldn't even turn her face because if she did, then her lips might touch his, yeah there were that close.

She knew Dan-Han was aware that their position was too compromising and that she wasn't comfortable with the way he was close to her. He was just trying to punish her, toil with her? And what's with the like thing again?

If he really liked her then why was he treating her like this? Was he deriving some pleasure he punishing her like this? Did he even know his grip over her hand was so tight? Getting a grip over herself, she said.

"President Lee can you let go?"

"Why, because you're not comfortable with me?" He asked, his tone slightly changing as he asked that question.

"No" She replied. Her voice sounding a bit normal than the usual shaky and anxious one. She wasn't comfortable and she wasn't going to lie about that.

"Because you don't like me" He wasn't even sure if he was asking or telling her. Eun-sun opened her mouth to say something, something she wasn't even sure of saying, but before she could spill it out, Dan-Han pulled away from her.

"Don't answer, I don't want to hear it" He said, his eyes looking at hers which were fluttering.

He didn't want to hear what he didn't like. And he was sure if she said one negative word to him right now, he might lose his sense of rationality.

"I'll let this slide, but listen I'm not a really patient man. When I said I like you, I meant it and that means I'll make you mine"

"You don't have -"

"Let me finish" He interjected making her clamp her mouth shut.

"Till you fully agree to become mine, and willingly admit to it. You'll keep bringing me that breakfast only made by you, you're only allowed to have lunch with me, and I'm the only one allowed to bring you home" He declared authoritatively. His words and tone made Eun-sun frown.

Was he trying to own and control her? Why was he giving such orders.

Was this what he meant by he liked her? This was damn ownership and not like or love? What was wrong with him? She squared her gaze at him in a defiant manner.

"What if I don't want to? This is ownership" She snapped. She was getting really angry over what he had said.

"Then I'll punish you"

"What?" Eun-sun snapped. Her eyes glaring at him and silently daring him to try.

Dan-Han tsked as he returned his stoic and cold gaze at her. He took a step and leaned closer to her, his eyes lingering on her lips.

"I won't lie, I want to kiss right now but i won't. But push me one more time like this and I will. For every defilement from you, I'll kiss you, and that's a promise" He said in a low and dangerous voice sending shivers than her spine, making her gulp in fear.

Dan-Han took a step back from her before he actually kisses her. His eyes were lingering on her lips for too long, and if he doubts if he would be able to refrain himself if he continues looking at them.

Eun-sun was way beyond shocked by Dan-Han's threat. Did he say he was going to kiss her if she did something wrong?

He was really actually going to kiss her? Looking at him still staring at her, even though he was no longer within her breathing space she could tell that he wasn't joking with his words. He was actually going to do it.

She felt like cussing her lock for meeting such a man. How did things become like this? Which of her ancestors did she offend that was punishing her like this?

This was becoming unbearable?

1. She's to bring him his breakfast, which according to him was her every morning.

2. She was to have lunch with him everyday...was weekend included?

3. He was the only one allowed to take her home?

What kind of conditions were these? He should as well employ her to be his personal assistant and nanny.

Dan-Han could see the way her brows and eyes kept furrowing. He knew she was deep in thought. At this point he really had to question himself, why?

Why her? Of all the girls he could finally react to, why this stubborn, tenacious, and tough girl? Couldn't she be a little gentle and willing? A little more accepting of his feeling?

But on a second thought, these were the reasons why he liked her, and can't stop thinking about her, nor get her out of his head. He badly wanted her to become his, but she wasn't going to make things easy for him. And neither was he going to make things easy for her. She didn't know in this pursuit of his, she didn't have no other choice but to comply and become his.

"Mr Lee can I ask a question?" She asked him.

"Be careful not to forget the punishment" He warned, making Eun-sun subconsciously nod her head. This man had her wrapped around this finger.

Despite his warning she asked anyway.

"Mr Lee in this relationship of yours, do I have a say" Eun-sun couldn't help but ask, even though she had the answer to it.

"Only till you're mine" He replied firmly.

Just as she thought.

"Anymore questions?" He asked her, and she nodded, making him cock a brow at her, telling her to ask.

"Did- you send me t-that flower?" She asked.

"I did, and expect one everyday" He replied making Eun-sun look at him with an inscrutable gaze.

President Lee Dan-Han was sure satan's incarnate sent to torment her.
