Pay With Your Heart

Back in the room.

Eun-sun had a huge frown on her face when Dan-Han confiscated her phone and supervised her as she took the pill that the nurse had brought for her. Jae-Hyun had gotten the result of her blood work and discovered that her Ulcer was getting worse and had given her drugs for that and asked her to consume more fruit.

"Mr Lee, I'll take it later," She said with a frown on her face as she tried to negotiate with him.

"Now," He said in a cold tone, making her frown even more. Heaven knows how much she hated drugs. She hated it with everything she's got. If not for this stupid ulcer thing she didn't think she'd ever take drugs in her life. For most of the drugs she bought for it, she didn't take them more than once. She'd rather endure the pain than take the pills, they always made her nauseous and she always felt like it was stuck in her throat all day.

She'll rather take an injection than swallow it.

"Take–"

Dan-Han's words were cut short when the door suddenly opened and someone poked his head into the room.

Dan-Han glared at the annoying peasant that didn't know how to knock.

"Don't you knock?"He asked with an angry tone, but someone else walked in from behind him.

"It's that how you talk to your friend" Mrs Lee. scolded him as she walked into the room. 

"Mother" He greeted with a bow, but the woman ignored him and looked at the person sitting on the bed.

"Auntie" Eun-sun greeted with a smile when she saw her saviour walk into the room.

"My sweet girl" Mrs Lee called out as she walked up to the girl with her signature sunny smile.

"How are you? What happened to you? And why do you have that look on your face?" She asked while Eun-sun surreptitiously glared at Dan-Han but Mrs Lee didn't miss it. She frowned and turned to Dan-Han.

"Are you by chance bullying my daughter?" Mrs Lee angrily glared at her son. Eun-sun snapped her head to look at Mrs Lee when she heard what she had called her. She didn't know why, but her heart swelled when she called her 'daughter'. Eun-sun could not remember the last time someone had addressed her sweetly.

Dan-Han noticed the change in Eun-sun's eyes and he smiled to himself, but his face remained stoic.

"Ask her," Dan-Han said before walking out of the room, but not without ordering Jae-Hyun to follow him.

Eun-sun eyed his back as he walked out before looking at Mrs Lee.

"What did he do? Tell mother and I'll scold him" Mrs Lee said.

Thinking about the way Dan-Han had been commanding her and ordering her around since she started working in his company, Eun-sun thought about lying and setting him up so he could at least get a good scold on her behalf, but on second thought she decided to say the truth.

"Auntie, I don't like drugs"

....

In-Ha has been worried since last night, he hasn't been able to contact Eun-sun and that scared him.

'Something must have happened to her' He thought.

He regretted letting her go last night. He should have insisted on dropping her off rather than letting her go just like that. He didn't even know who had called her. He had heard her mumble something like 'mom' but he wasn't sure if he had heard correctly.

Left with no choice, In-Ha drove to her place in the morning hopefully she might be at home.

As soon as he arrived at her place he saw her friend walking out of the house with a guy. He hurried over to them.

"Hey" He called as he stopped right I'm front of them.

"Good morning" He greeted while Hei-Ran greeted back. Jinhai who was almost close to the car retreated his steps back when he saw a male specie standing close to his woman.

"You're Eun-sun's friend right?" In-Ha asked, making Hei-Ran look at him with curious eyes.

"Yes, and you are?" She asked back.

"I'm In-Ha, a friend of Eun-sun. I've been trying to reach her but I can't. I just want to know if she's fine and I'd also love to see her" In-Ha told her. Hei-Ran looked him over, his face sort of looked familiar but she couldn't remember where or when she had seen him. Nonetheless, she answered, "She's fine."

In-Ha heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He didn't want to mention the number of scary thoughts that had gone through his head all through the night.

"Can I see her?" He anxiously asked. Hei-Ran looked at him for a while. She wasn't sure whether she should tell him the truth. Eun-sun might not want to tell him the truth about her state of health. She was quite reserved and she was also a taciturn person except for those she liked.

"I'm sorry but she's not in–" She paused and looked at him again. If he knew where Eun-sun was living and had her number that meant that they might be close right? Who else knew her best friend well other than her.

"Actually she's at the hospital"

"Hospital?" He asked in shock, while Hei-Ran nodded her head.

"I'm actually on my way there, you can come with me if you want to" Hei-Ran decided to tell him the truth. Eun-sun needed people around her and she shouldn't be her only friend.

Vigorously nodding his head In-Ha replied

"Sure I'll follow you"

Hei-Ran nodded and entered Jinhai's car who had volunteered to take her there and was kind enough to give her the day off so she could be with her friend. Who knew he was this nice?

In-Ha hopped into his car and followed them behind. He was surprised when he found out that it was Jae-Hyun's hospital.

Seeing this was the hospital Eun-sun was admitted to, the first question that came to his mind was, how was she going to pay? This wasn't just a mere hospital, it was a specialist centre and it cost a lot. And that meant whatsoever had brought her there might be serious. In-Ha felt his heart skip at that thought. It had better not be serious.

Well, he was here now. He'd find a way to talk that overly independent girl into helping her.

[A/N: The question is, will Dan-Han let you?]
