Pay With Your Heart

"Why are you here?" Dan-Han asked Ni-Na after her anger seemed to have calm down a bit. 

He took note of the way she shifted uncomfortably in her seat and he could guess she was here to carry out her 'busy body' responsibility. He had asked her about her visit to Eun-sun the other time and why she had cried, but she had refused to tell him. So he wondered why she was here now.

Ni-Na gazed at him and swallowed when she saw how calmly he was looking at her. "You know aunty isn't here anymore, so I have to take care of you right?" She asked like she was trying to tell him that was the case. But from how shaky her voice sounded, Dan-Han knew she was nervous. 

He leaned back on his seat and watched her, silently urging her to continue.

"So I was thinking, maybe you should forgive Eun-sun." 

'So that was why she was here?' Dan-Han gave her his full attention.

"Maybe?" He raised a brow at her.

Ni-Na shook her head, when she realized what she had said. "You should definitely forgive her." She said firmly. "I like her, and I think she's sorry. If aunty approved of her for you doesn't that mean she wants you guys to be together? You should forgive her already and stop wasting time." She clamped her mouth shut when Dan-Han kept looking at her with his usual indifferent look. 

"Big bro?" She cautiously called, her voice thinning out.

"And this speech is supposed to..." He slurred and cocked a brow at her.

"Hmm?" Ni-Na blinked confusedly.

"Am I to forgive her because of these speech of yours?" He asked, making her nod her head, but she immediately shook her head when he furrowed his brows.

Dan-Han snorted. "You can't even help yourself, and you want to act as a mediator." He hissed and returned his attention to the file he was about to read before she walked in.

Ni-Na looked at him not sure of what to say. She had thought...

"Bro.." She paused when Dan-Han tossed a card at her. She picked the card and looked at him in confusion. Was he giving her his card to go shopping? A smile suddenly split her face as she thought about it.

"Why are you giving me your card?" She asked, even though she was already imagining the limitless things she was going to buy at the mall. There was this bag she had seen online, she heard it was a limited edition, she was going to start with that. Coming here was definitely a good result. If he doesn't lister to her about forgiving Eun-sun now, he will later. 

But for now she was going to go shopping!! She squealed in her head. Having Dan-Han's card was as good as having a blank check. 

Dan-Han frowned when he saw the dreamy look in her eyes. What was she thinking now? Probably building castles in her head? He hissed.

"She's at my place, go take her out."

"Who?" Ni-Na asked making Dan-Han glare at her. Wasn't she asking a dumb question? Who were they just talking about?

Ni-Na's eyes widened when it seemed she finally got it. "Sister in-law is at your place?" She asked in shocked-surprise, but Dan-Han wasn't going to answer that.

"Buy her something nice. I want to take her out tomorrow." He told her.

"Out? Like on a date?" She inquisitively asked. Her lips already widened from edge to edge. This meant they were back together already? This was great news! 

"Yes." 

"Awww" She cooed. She clamped her face as she smiled so sweetly and proudly at him.

"Now I want to date too." She smiled dreamily, but she didn't take note of the change on Dan-Han's face.

"You want to what?" His cold voice came asking snapping her out of her reverie and making her stiffen and her lid blinking rapidly. Shit! Why did she have to say that?!

"But i'm an adult too." She said with lack of confidence causing Dan-Han to gaze at her in an indescribable. He was going to threaten her now, she knew it.

"Adult, yet you spend my money."

"You're my elder brother."

"And Ji-Tae?" He asked.

"I'm twenty-one." She told him, not bothering to answer his question about Ji-Tae. Who was that one again? She didn't know.

"Yet you're still in school?" 

"Final year president-Lee! final year!" She snapped. Why was he still treating her like a child?

"And mother says I can date." She grudgingly told him.

He leaned closer to her and asked, "So can you?" His brows cocked in a challenging manner? 

Ni-Na frowned and lowered her head, and with a pout she said, "No." She knew his question was a trap.

"Good." He reclined back to his seat. "Go take her out. When you have a 5 pointer cgpa, then we can talk about you dating." He said dismissively making Ni-Na glare at him.

She felt like pulling his hair and telling him she had a 4.65 cgpa already. Getting a perfect score in school was so hard!! School was hard already and having a target made it harder.

She eyed him to her satisfaction and sighed. "Can I get something for myself?" She finally asked. Atleast she had to gain something from this.

"Whatever Ni-Na. Just get her something nice and keep her company till I return." He said without looking at her. 

Ni-Na grinned and hopped to her feet. She hurried towards him and placed a kiss on his cheek. "You're the best, big brother." She chirped making him chuckle inaudibly. Women! Only his girlfriend was different. She'll only be this happy with food in sight. Or Maybe he was yet to see this side of her? He didn't care. If she wanted anything, he'd indulge her. He would be happy if she asked him for stuff sometimes. But if she doesn't want to, he'd provide it anyway. 

He watched as Ni-Na heartily hopped out of his office. His eyes darted towards his phone when it chimed. He opened it and saw a message from Tae-Ho. His meeting with the Kim second master has been fixed.. He'll meet him tonight, all he had to do was find out where the man kept the child and why he took her.
