Pay With Your Heart

Eun-sun was almost tempted to smile at his cheesy reply but she refrained herself from doing so. She was beginning to question herself where and how he always came up with all these savage responses.

She looked at the bag which was by his side. She was a bit curious to know what he had brought this time around.

She shyly pursed her lips and asked, "What's inside?" Her lips pointing to the bag. Dan-Han picked it up and placed it on her lap.

"Take a look," He said with a smile tugging the side of his lips. Eun-sun looked at his smiling face before she hesitantly looked into the bag. Her eyelids rose to look at him when she saw the box sitting inside. This was the biggest box he had given to her and it made her wonder what was in it.

He smiled amusedly as he said, "Bring it out" While Eun-sun slowly brought out the box from the bag. Seeing the size of the box and the name brand written on it she guessed it had to be a bag or a shoe.

Dan-Han sighed exasperatedly when she kept moving too slow. He was tired of her slow movements. He opened the box and revealed what was inside. Eun-sun's eyes grew big when she saw the beautiful black plum heel with glitters on it, sitting in the box. Her eyes quickly moved to his face.

"I can't accept this," She said as she shook her head. Looking at the shoe it reeked of thousands of dollars. Eun-sun knew it wasn't cheap. She had never been able to afford an expensive shoe but she knew one when she saw one.

"Why?" Dan-Han asked with annoyance. This girl was a piece of work. Here he was feeling excited that she was finally coming around and would accept his gift, but she suddenly rejects it, again!

"Be.. because it looks...expensive" She explained making Dan-Han cock a brow at her.

"So? You'll only accept it if it's cheap?" He asked sarcastically making Eun-sun roll her eyes at him. She opened her mouth to say something but he interjected her.

"Before you say anything, you should know my money is allergic to buying cheap stuff, and –" He paused before he continued.

"There's nothing too expensive for you," He told her. Eun-sun felt a bit fluttered when she heard him. He was getting better at this each day. His words and tone were slowly having a weird effect on her heart.

"But..." She tried to speak but he picked up the shoe and pursed her lip with it. Left with no other choice Eun-sun had to clamp her mouth shut and accept the gift she has been given. With Dan-Han, one was always left with no choice. She picked up the other pair which was in the box and closely admired it, even she wanted to reject it.

She had to admit it was a beautiful shoe. It had a simple design, but it looked beautiful and elegant. She looked at the shoe to find the size number. She was about to do that when she jolted when someone touched her leg. She looked down to see Dan-Han holding her leg as he took off her shoes.

"What are you doing?" She asked in horror as she tried to move her leg away, but he gripped it tight and nudged it forward.

"Stay still," He said coldly. He slid the shoe on her feet and it was a perfect fit. Eun-sun was stunned by his actions. She was transfixed so much that she kept her gaze fixed on him, while her heart responded by beating irregularly. Dan-Han reached for the other pair in her hand and wore it on her, while Eun-sun still fixed her gaze on him the whole time.

"It's a perfect fit," He said with a smile, letting go of the breath he had anxiously been holding. He had been a bit worried it might not be a good fit. Eun-sun snapped out of her trance when he spoke. She lowered her eyes to look down at her feet and she saw the shoes on them.

She was surprised it was a perfect fit. How had he gotten her measurements? She asked herself.

"How...how did you..."

"I have my ways" He cut her short, answering as if he could read her mind. He already knew what she was going to ask. What she didn't know was how hard he had made secretary Chang-wok work in finding someone with the same body size as her, who had tried out all the shoes.

Eun-sun looked at her feet as she admired the shoe. They were beautiful. She looked at Dan-Han who had his eyes on her as he rose to his feet. He took her hand and pulled her up so she could walk on her new shoe and know if it was comfortable.

"Do you like it?" He nervously asked but he did a good job in masking his nervousness.

"It's beautiful" Eun-sun replied. She was too ashamed to say she liked it because deep down in her heart she still wasn't comfortable accepting his gift.

Eun-sun had one question on her mind and she couldn't help but ask, "Why buy me a shoe?" Not that she wanted something else, she just found it weird that he'll buy her a shoe.

"Nothing. I thought they'll will look good on you, and I'm right" He told her. He did not want to tell her that he had noticed she barely changed her shoes like other ladies out there and that the ones she wore needed to be replaced. Eun-sun looked at him without saying anything before looking down at her shoe. She couldn't remember the last time she got a new pair, it has been a while. She had always wanted one, but the responsibilities on her couldn't be ignored, so that luxury had to wait.

'Wait did he say 'they'? There were others?' She asked herself.

She obviously had not been paying attention when Dan-Han said he had more in his car.

She was about to ask when Dan-Han suddenly snaked his hand around her waist and pulled her closer to him ramming her chest against his, making her jolt and gasp.

Eun-sun was stunned by his abrupt action.

"Mr. Lee" She called out as she tried to step away from him, but it was a fruitless effort because his grip around her was firm but not enough to hurt her.

"Go on a date with me" He said softly.

"Hmm?" She looked up at him in stupefaction.

"I want to go on a date with you, please say yes"
