Pay With Your Heart

Ni-Na looked at Eun-sun in shocked surprise. Her eyes unblinkingly widened to the fullest. She was too stunned she didn't know what to say or do after seeing Eun-sun bow to her in such a fashion. Her eyes darted around the place and she was embarrassed by the number of eyes currently staring at her. But compared to the multitude she had seen when she arrived, she felt grateful.

She stood to her feet and approached Eun-sun. She didn't know what to do. After hearing what she had said, she felt sad and angry but seeing her like this, Ni-Na felt conflicted and helpless. She held her shoulders and gently pulled her up. Her heart felt pricked when Eun-sun rose up and she saw the tears that stung her eyes that she was trying so hard to hold in.

"I'm sorry." Eun-sun apologized, her voice sounding small and broken.

"It's okay." Ni-Na replied as she pulled Eun-sun into a hug.

"I'm truly, really sorry." Eun-sun apologized again, while Ni-Na patted her arms.

"Shh...I know you are." She told her. "We humans, we always make mistakes. And I'm sure you were doing what you thought was right. Stop crying, people are watching." She comforted her. Ni-Na felt embarrassed for Eun-sun's sake. The girl must have been bearing alot, and must have always wanted to apologize someone who'd listen, so much she didn't mind her surrounding or her reputation at work. And blame her for being too impatient and visiting her at work. She sighed wearily.

She pulled up Eun-sun's face and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. "Auntie said you're very strong. So be strong, and don't cry. You made a mistake, and that doesn't mean you didn't love Aunty or big brother. And I'm sure he knows this too. He'll come around." She tried to encourage Eun-sun, who nodded even though she feared her words might not true. She has been hearing alot of that, and she wanted to believe them, badly. She wanted him to know she never meant to hurt him. She wanted him back.

She bit her lips in embarrassment when she saw the people staring at them as they hugged. She had been too carried away by her emotions, she had forgotten she was at a public place. It was sort of embarrassing, but after what she has been going through these past weeks she really didn't care. They could watch all they want.

.....

Pk corp, Hallway.

"Hye-jin, do you know why your that friend of yours is crying in the cafeteria?" Min-Jung asked Hye-jin who was closet to Eun-sun in the department.

"Eun-sun?"

"Yes, she." She snorted. She still doesn't like Eun-sun for trying to take Chang-wok away from her.

Hye-jin was surprised to hear that. She was surprised to hear Eun-sun was crying in the cafeteria. She didn't think that was possible. They weren't that close, but she has worked with Eun-sun for a while now, and she didn't look like the kind of person to cry in public. She had figured her as someone who had her emotions in check. But also, these past weeks she couldn't help but notice how withdrawn she is.

She shook her head in response. "No. I didn't go for lunch today. I'm swarmed with work." She waved the file she just about to deliver.

"Maybe you should go check on her. I don't like her drama." She snorted and walked away. Hye-jin looked at the file in her hand and looked at the opposite direction she had to go find Eun-sun and sighed. She had barely turned around when a door on her left suddenly opened and Dan-Han walked out with his secretary and a few other bosses.

"Pre..sident Lee." She stuttered.

"Get back to work." He coldly ordered prompting Hye-jin to nod and hurriedly make a 180° turn.

Secretary Chang-wok looked at Dan-Han from the corner of his eyes as he wondered what he was going to do. He was sure he had heard them talk about her. Would he go to her? Or would he ignore what he had heard? This was the very girl he couldn't bear eating breakfast without.

Chang-wok paid outmost attention to him as he studied every expression on his face.

"President Lee."

"Go check up on her, and tell me what happened." He said before walking ahead leaving Chang-wok utterly surprised. The men walking behind him were confused, but they followed suit.

Chang-wok was surprised by Dan-Han's orders. He had thought he'd go check up on her himself, but he sent him? Does this mean he really didn't want anything to do with her anymore?

Dan-Han had his eyes staring out the window of his car while he waited for Chang-wok to return.

"What happened?" He inquired the moment the man stepped into the car.

Chang-wok couldn't tell if he was concerned because he still had feelings for her, or if he was trying not to be concerned because of his feelings for her? His inscrutable countenance revealed nothing.

"You haven't lost your tongue, have you?" Dan-Han glared at him when his response wasn't for coming.

"I saw her with the little miss." He reported.

Dan-Han's brows shot up, "Ni-Na?" He asked while Chang-wok nodded. That was a surprise.

What was she doing here? He shouldn't really have to ask. That girl was just as intrusive as his mother, what was he expecting.

He looked outside the window, his eyes focused on nothing in particular.

"Boss." Secretary Chang-wok called while Dan-Han turned to him.

"Do...you think you can work things out with Ms Park?" He asked. "I see the way she's been affected, and you are also. Maybe you should give her a second chance. Give yourselves a second chance? After all they say, love conquers all, right?" Chang-wok said, but he immediately regretted his actions when he saw the way Dan-Han narrowed his eyes at him. He was probably courting death for himself.

Dan-Han turned his gaze at him and looked outside again. Love conquers all, huh? How much of that was true?
