Pay With Your Heart

Eun-sun stared at his broad back as he helped her heat up the food she had bought on her way back. She didn't imagine someone like him would be in her kitchen trying to serve her dinner. It felt surreal.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Dan-Han asked when he turned around to find a pair of hazel eyes boring through his back.

"How...am I looking at you?" She asked in a low and shy voice.

"Like I'm doing something strange?"

'Aren't you?' She asked in her head at least that was what she thought until she saw him cock a brow at her, and that was when she realized she had just said her thoughts out loud. She pursed her lips in embarrassment and quickly lowered her head. Dan-Han chuckled amusedly, as he picked up the food and walked to the dinning table where she was seated.

"This isn't strange. You should get used to it and this isn't the first time I'm serving you food. I've made you breakfast remember?" He reminded her as he placed the food in front of her.

That's true, he had really done that. As a matter of fact he had done alot for her. Taken care of her, protected her, made her smile, encouraged her, loved her...he has truly done alot for her.

Dan-Han placed a chop stick in front of her, and said, "You should eat."

Eun-sun looked at him, a slight frown forming between her brows, "Mr Lee where's your food?" She asked.

Tilting his chin towards her plate he said, "Over there."

"Huh?" Eun-sun blinked at him confusedly. What does he mean? Where they sharing a plate?

Noticing the confused look on her face, he said, "Why don't you feed me?"

Eun-sun eye's stilled on him as she tried to ascertain if he was joking. Was he serious?

Dan-Han smiled when she made that cute surprised face once again. Everything about her was cute. He leaned towards her and pecked her cheeks before picking up the chopsticks.

"I'll feed you first." He said with a small smile which Eun-sun could swear made her heart skip. She was about to protest when Dan-Han gave her a stern look making her to pause. She had come to understand his every look and this one was a threatening one.

She blushed shyly before slowly opening her mouth to let him feed her. Dan-Han smiled at her compliance.

"Good girl" He praised, making her blush. God, why was she always flushed whenever he says or do something to her? Eun-sun questioned herself.

They both enjoyed their dinner feeding each other, all the while Eun-sun couldn't stop blushing. She hasn't experienced anything like that before and it felt so good, having someone treat her specially. The way he looked at her while feeding her and the way he teased her while she fed him made her heart flutter all the way.

It felt great. Dan-Han was going to be the death of her.

"You know for someone who threatened me on the first day and keeps flipping people over her shoulder, you're being too shy around me." Dan-Han said as he pulled her closer to himself on the sofa.

"I'm not being shy" Eun-sun denied.

Dan-Han snorted, "I doubt that. You barely maintain eye contact with me and you keep blushing everytime I look at you. So I think it's either you're shy or..." He slurred as he turned to look at her fully, piquing Eun-sun's attention as she glanced at his handsome face.

"Or what?" She asked.

"Or I make your heart flutter everytime and you can't handle it." He said with a teasing smile.

'Yes you do' It was the truth but Eun-sun wasn't going to admit it.

"No you don't." She gingerly declared.

"I don't?" Dan-Han cocked a brow at her defiantly.

"No you don't." She affirmed, making a malicious smile split Dan-Han's face. Eun-sun didn't not why her heart gripped her the moment she saw that smile on Dan-Han's face. But she soon understood why because the next second Dan-Han grabbed her hand and she found herself lying flat on top of his broad chest. Her eyes widened while they blinked rapidly. Her cheeks instantly turned red and her heart, don't even say it. It was beating like a drum.

Dan-Han smiled when he saw how flushed she has become and he could feel her rapid heart beat reverberating on his chest.

"What were you saying?" He asked teasingly, a mocking smile gracing his face.

Eun-sun blushed harder as she lowered her face embarrassedly.

'Wicked man. Cruel beast' This man was having so much fun at her expense. He must enjoy embarrassing her like this.

Dan-Han chuckled at her cute behavior. Tell him why he wouldn't fall for this girl. One minute she would act like a wonder woman, and the next like a cute baby.

Eun-sun tried to pull away from him but Dan-Han tightened his grip around her.

"Mr Lee" Eun-sun tried to protest. She wasn't comfortable lying on him.

"Call me that one more time and I'll flip you over right now and kiss you till you can no longer breath."

'Then do.'

'Park Eun-sun!' She squealed in her head in mortification. She wasn't a perv or something but the thought of Dan-Han's lips on her again made her head muddle. His kiss always made her go weak on her knees and her heart beat erratically just as it was beating now. What was this man doing to her. She was beginning to fear her own thoughts.

Eun-sun understood Dan-Han's threat, he wanted her to call him by his name, but right now she just wanted to get up from his broad and hard rock chest that she was lying on. She could feel how tough it was under her hands which she was using to hold herself up so she wouldn't crash all her weight on him.

'He must work out a lot' She reasoned to herself. But how does he even get the time to do that when he was always so busy with work.

"What are you thinking about?" Dan-Han asked when he noticed the thoughtful look on her face.

Exactly what was she thinking about? Perv Eun-sun!

"Nothing" She quickly shook her head. His question bringing her back to the situation she was in right now, lying on his chest.

"Mr Le... Dan-Han" She corrected herself making Dan-Han smile.

"Hmm"

"Can you let go?" She asked, but the man shook his head as he held her even tightly, "No, just stay like this. You don't know how much I've dreamt about holding you like this" He said.

Eun-sun stared at him for a while as he equally stared back at her, a lot of emotions swirling in his eyes mostly that of love and admiration.

"Mr Lee, why do you like me?" Eun-sun couldn't help but ask, forgetting about his name again. This has been the question in her mind for a while now and she couldn't answer herself.

"And who said I like you?" Was his response to her making Eun-sun looked at him confusedly.

"You don't?"

Raising his right hand to slowly tuck the lock of hair covering the side of her face behind her ear, he shook his head, "No I don't like you Park Eun-sun, I love you and there's a difference between that. So ask me correctly." He corrected her, but his reply made her more fluttered.

"But why?" She asked again. She didn't understand why a man like him could love a girl like her. They were world's apart, he was a man of wealth and influence while she was nobody.

"Why do you love me? You're great man that everybody fears and respect while I... I'm a nobody and...."

Immediately, Dan-Han held her up and sat up right as well, he placed a finger on her lips as his eyes stared deep into hers.

"Don't you ever say that.You're not a nobody." He firmly told her.

"But–"

"No but Eun-sun" He interjected her.

"Does having a few properties and power make anybody relevant?" He asked but he didn't wait for her answer.

"No it doesn't. Having material things doesn't make me or anyone special. Our soul and what we have in our hearts makes us special.

And you have a wonderful soul Eun-sun. You maybe a bit rough around the edges but that's what makes you extra special to me. You know the real value of family, love and diligence and you forgive despite all you've been through, you have a lot of value and principles, you never give up and all these are not the definition of a 'nobody'. So stop talking nonsense or I might get mad at you" He scolded her.

"And why I love you, I don't think there should be a reason for that. Because reasons bring about limitations. I love you for you and every other thing only make me love you more. So stop asking me that okay?" He told her. Eun-sun was stunned by his answer, she just wanted to jump into his arms and stay there, and that was exactly what she did. Her swelled with so much joy, and happiness. Even her eyes were teary and she hold the tear that fell from them. Dan-Han was a light sent by God to put an end to her dark days and make her smile.

Putting her arms around him, and placing her head on his chest, she called in a soft voice, "Mr Lee?"

"Hmm?"

"I think I love you too"
