Pay With Your Heart

'Pumpkin?'

Dan-Han frowned and his expression again turned gloomy. He was carrying her in his arms and she was sweet calling another guy?

In-Ha took a few steps towards them and stopped right in front of them.

"Tigress, are you drunk?" In-Ha asked with curious eyes, when he noticed her red cheeks and her awkward behavior.

'Did she just call me at pumpkin?'

"Not drunk, just tipsy" She warned sternly as she tried to wriggle away from Dan-Han's arms but the man tightened his hold around her while he glared at In-Ha who had all his attention on Eun-sun.

In-Ha chuckled when he heard her reply. She really looked completely wasted, yet she says she's 'just' tipsy?

"I think you're more than just tipsy" In-Ha stated, not minding the awkwardness of talking to her in Dan-Han's arms. "Your cheeks are beet red and I'm sure you can't even stand on your own. How vulnerable have you become" He teased as he tried touching her cheek, but before Dan-Han could even take a step back to prevent him from touching her, Eun-sun had smacked his hand away, a daring glare seated in her eyes.

"Tell this brute to put me down, and I'll show you I'm strong enough to flip you and him over my shoulder" Eun-sun declared.

Dan-Han looked down at her face which had crease lines over it but he didn't say anything. Who was she calling a brute again? And who was she going to flip over her shoulders?

In-Ha scoffed audibly when Eun-sun said those words. Eun-sun frown deepened when In-Ha mockingly scoffed at her. Was he trying to condescend her capability of beating him to pulp just because president Lee was being a bully and forcefully keeping her in his arms.

Eun-sun looked at In-Ha with narrowed eyes, and just like a flash she jumped out of Dan-Han's arms, making a perfect landing on the floor, startling both Dan-Han, In-Ha and Jae-Hyun who had been trying to catch a glimpse of the woman's face. They were still looking at her with widen eyes when the unexpected happened.

Because the very next second a loud banging sound erupted across the hall way, with a body landing against the floor, earning the attention of the few people on the hallway.

Jae-Hyun was dumbstruck same as In-Ha as who was wailing from pain. Dan-Han wasn't exactly surprised like the rest of them, he had always known that she was a ferocious being always looking for a prey, but for some reasons she always seem to act accordingly with him. But In-Ha was on different level, how dare he provoke his own tigress.

'Wait did he just call her In-Ha's tigress?'

He discarded the thought and looked at the man lying face flat on the floor, with a petite figure sitting over him twisting his hand to the back. Jae-Hyun on the other hand was watching with awestruck eyes.

Who was this girl?

"Who were you calling a drunk? I said I am tipsy, tipsy" She angrily and 'tipsily' corrected In-Ha, as she smacked him on his head, while he screamed from the floor.

"Ahh, I agree. You're just tipsy. Please let me go, it hurts." In-Ha pleaded for his dear life, but Eun-sun twisted his hand once more.

"Ahhhhh"

"Shut up" She hit him again before trying to stand to her feet, but at that minute she lost her balance and swayed backward, and if not for Dan-Han's reflectiveness she would have kissed her ass on the floor.

He held her steady with her hands but the stubborn girl was quick to push his hand off.

"Let go, you cold man. You look like a grim reaper" She cussed as she tried to hit his hand off again, but Dan-Han caught her hand. She tried struggling with him, but he overpowered her and pulled her closer.

"Behave" He warned coldly. She opened her mouth to say something but she clamped it back shut as he was staring dangerously at her. Although she was now quiet Dan-Han could still see the ferociousness burning in her eyes. She was cussing and threatening him with her eyes, eyeing him wickedly in the process.

Jae-Hyun quickly helped In-Ha to his feet.

"Sorry" Jae-Hyun apologized but In-Ha didn't miss the amused sound in his voice. He hit his hand off him, and glared at him. He should simply just laugh at him and not pretend about it. He turned to look at Eun-sun who was having a serious staring contest with Dan-Han, and was really spoiling for a arm wrestle with him.

Was she really thinking of fighting Dan-Han? He scoffed in his mind. She must be courting death.

But that wasn't his problem right now. Right now he was going to scold her.

"Eun-sun are you a hooligan? I thought you promised to be nice to me" In-Ha complained accusingly, making her turn towards him and growl at him. She was about to take a step towards him when Dan-Han scooped her up again. This time holding her very tightly.

"Put me down"

"Put her down"

They both said simultaneously.

"Shut up and attend to yourself" Dan-Han said, pointing his chin at In-Ha arm, before striding away, while Eun-sun who kept struggling tirelessly. Dan-Han looked at the petite girl, he wondered what exactly she had consumed.

Her actions convinced him of the fact that alcohol indeed was both a stimulant and a depressant, depending on the consumption.

"Where are you taking her?" In-Ha asked from behind them, halting Dan-Han.

"Home" He replied.

"Wait, I'll bring her home" In-Ha offered as he started walking towards them. Dan-Han narrowed his brows and looked at him.

"Why?"

"Why? Because I'm her friend" He replied.

"And I am?" Dan-Han raised a brow at him.

"We-well you're her boss" In-Ha told him, making Dan-Han frown. In-Ha wouldn't deny the fact that Dan-Han's look was scary, making him goosebumps crawl his skin. This was the reason why it was better he took Eun-sun home, she was already drunk and this man might scare her. She might be gutsy, tenacious and a bit scary, but she was still match for Lee Dan-Han.

"Tch, he looks like a grim reaper" Eun-sun thought she whispered to herself as she looked his angry face.

Dan-Han ignored the drunken lady, as well as In-Ha who was waiting for Eun-sun to be handled over to him. He looked over to Jae-Hyun and said, "Look at his arm, and get him home" before trying to leave again, but once again In-Ha stopped him, by calling his name.

"Dan-Han?"

The cold man who was slowly losing his patience glanced at In-Ha coldly, "She's my responsibility. Get your arm checked" He said in a cold and authoritative tone, before strolling away.

In-Ha was about to say something else when Jae-Hyun held his shoulder, making him grunt.

"Let's look at your arm, and let him take her. Dan-Han won't hurt her"

"What makes you think so?" In-Ha turned to look at him. They knew Dan-Han had never been nice to women, he always chased them off with his cold aura, and terrifying look.

"Because i think he likes her" Jae-Hyun reasoned. He had a feeling she was the girl he had mentioned. Didn't she say she was one difficult girl? From the stunt this girl just pulled in front of him, he was certain she was the girl.

In-Ha threw his head back and laughed incredulously.

"Dan-Han likes her?" He asked amusedly. "Dan-Han doesn't even like himself, how can he like anyone. He's just a cold bully" In-Ha said amidst laughter.

"Then do you like her?" Jae-Hyun surprisingly asked. His question immediately made stop to laugh.

"No" He replied, as he looked away in embarrassment.

"Are you sure?" Jae-Hyun inquisitively asked. He knew both his friends, and both of them were acting strangely. They were both paying attention to a woman. It wasn't so rare on In-Ha's side, the guy was always involved in. a woman, but he had never addressed one as his friend since Ji-A.

In-Ha looked away from his face and said "Let's look at my hand" before he started walking ahead.

Meanwhile Dan-Han had successfully carried Eun-sun out of the club, but not without much difficulty.

He furrowed his brow at her as he ordered, "Get into the car or I'll really punish you" He has been trying to get her into the car but she was being stubborn. Couldn't she just be obedient for a whole hour? Fine he had missed this fiery side of her, but this her was also very tiring to deal with.

"By kissing me?" Eun-sun asked back as she stared back at him.

"Yes" Dan-Han boldly replied.

"Without my permission?" She asked him.

"I don't need it" He told her. His reply got her angry. She pushed him backward with her hand, but the man didn't budge.

"Mr Lee you're too impulsive and, and intrusive. Nobody does like's that. How dare you pursue me and without my permission, and make me do things without asking me" She complained angrily.

Dan-Han looked at her quietly, "So you want me to take permission before pursuing you?" Dan-Han asked.

"Hmm" She nodded. He sighed softly and took a step closer to her. His eyes looking deep in to hers which were darting back and forth.

"So can I take permission now?" He asked. and again she slowly bobbed her head up and down. Dan-Han knew she was drunk and was only acting under the influence of alcohol, but he still wanted to indulge her.

"Park Eun-sun can I officially pursue you and make you my woman?" He asked in a firm yet gentle tone almost as if he was pleading her. Eun-sun's eyes looked at him as her gaze suddenly became intense. She looked directly at him and said, "No!"
