Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 344: Deserve It All.

If Eun-sun’s heart could rupt out of her chest and burst with joy, it would right this very moment. The scenery of the place exceeded her expectations by leaps and bounds and every arrangement Dan-Han had made made her heart swell.

He led her down a path of colorful flower petals forming a soft carpet underneath her feet till she arrived a small dock. He helped her into a canopy boat beautifully decorated with beautiful roses, tulips and other flowers she didn’t know. Their fresh scent was relaxing. Eun-sun looked at the man by her side and smiled to herself.

Sitting in the boat, the cold air from the ocean caressed her skin, making goosebumps rise. Dan-Han drapped his coat around her to protect from the cold and pulled her closer, till she leaned on him. Eun-sun felt in the clouds with his gentlemanly actions. Dan-Han was only gentle and attentive to her, but she could never get used to him. She slowly tried to calm her anxious heart which anticipated their destination.

Noticing them move the rocks at the Eastside of the water, Eun-sun felt giddy, her adventurous spirit was in full swing, and she wished she could take the boat on her head and ran faster. The moment the boat came to a stop, Dan-Han held her as they slowly walked up some steps till they entered a cave-like entrance.

Eun-sun’s lips dropped at the beautiful scenery that greeted her eyes. The rocks formed a round circle, trapping a small portion of the sea inside it like a lagoon. The blue waters glistened all around, and the rays of the sun seeping through the top made the water reflect all around rock, and the fresh green vines that creeped up the rocks added a satisfying beauty to it. The water was so clear, she could see beneath it. It reminded her of Dan-Han’s house.

Eun-sun turned around when soft music instruments started playing in the background. She looked around but she couldn’t guess where it came from. It seemed to be just her and Dan-Han, but it wasn’t.

She looked at Dan-Han and he flashed her a mischievous smile.

.....

“Will you dance with me?” He asked, stretching out his hands.

“Here?” She asked with shocked surprise, her eyes darting around, but he took her hand and placed it on his shoulder while he placed his around her waist and slowly began to move.

Eun-sun was flustered by what they were doing. But she couldn’t deny that she loved what he was doing. It was beautiful, and awkardly warm, and mesmerizing, so how could she complain?

“Dan-Han this is beautiful.” She told him.

“Not as beautiful as you.” She blushed at his corny reply. He was getting good at flirting with her these days.

“I like it here. It’s so warm and nice.” She said as she kept looking around.

“You’ll like the other places more.” He told her, making her raise her head to look at him.

“Just how many places are you planning on taking me today?” Eun-sun couldn’t help but ask.

Dan-Han looked at her face and smiled. “I didn’t count. But let’s start with this.” He kissed her lips. Eun-sun was speechless by his reply but she was inwardly excited.

They stayed a while longer, Eun-sun took as much pictures as possible, and in every picture she took, she had the broadest smile she had ever had in a long while.

All through the day, Dan-Han took her from one place to the other. Beginning from the ranch where he had taken her horse riding, then to the shooting range. He had taken her to the park where she did all the silly things she could imagine doing with him, like giving her a piggy back and eating cotton candy on the dark rides while she screamed her lungs out and clung to him whenever she felt dizzy.

Dan-Han did all the things she had never thought he do with her. He had given her a piggy back, won game rewards at the park and now she had a big and cute teddy which she had carried along to the opera house which she hasn’t been before but she really loved it.

“Are you tired?” He asked and she energetically shook her head. She wasn’t tired at all. As a matter of fact with every place he took her and with every hour they spent out, she felt a fresh rush of energy.

“Dan-Han, do want to have cone ice-cream?” She asked, her glistening eyes staring at the ice-cream man parked by the city square where they were currently taking a walk.

“You want some?” He asked and she vigorously nodded her head making him chuckle. He led her to sit by the fountain side before walking over to get her ice-cream.

Eun-sun watched his back as he walked away, her cheeks pulling apart and revealing a sweet smile. Dan-Han was really a blessing to her, one she’d never want to miss in her life.

She snapped back to reality when she heard her phone ring. It was Hei-Ran calling.

“Tell me you’re having a great time.” Hei-Ran said the moment Eun-sun answered the phone.

“I’m having a great time.” Eun-sun replied, her smile turning wider as she gazed at Dan-Han who was looking at her from time to time.

“Are you still out?” Hei-Ran asked when she heard sounds from the other side of the phone. She had thought they’d be back since they went out in the morning.

Eun-sun nodded her head and answered, “Yes.”

“Then I’ll leave you alone. I wanted to know if you’re alright.”

“Or you wanted to get the gist. Which is it?” Eun-sun spoke suspiciously letting Hei-Ran know she knew her tactics.

“Aren’t they all the same?”

“You’re shameless, Hei-Ran.” Eun-sun amusedly sighed.

“I can hear you smiling, that’s good. At least, I don’t have to break his head and limbs.” She sighed in relief making Eun-sun laugh. Like she could ever do anything to Dan-Han. His chilling appearance alone to outsiders startled them. Hei-Ran was thinking too much.

“I’ll let you have fun. Snap and send me pictures right away so I can put on my story. My baby’s first date.” She gushed.

“Bye, Hei-Ran.”

“Send the pictures right away.” She ordered before ending the call.

Eun-sun sighed and shook her head after the call ended. But she realized she hadn’t taken pictures of this place. Although it was dark already, she still wanted some pictures.

Eun-sun walked towards the part where there was more light and took some selfies of herself. It was weird she was the one taking all these pictures, but when you’re with someone who made you smile and filled your heart with so much joy, you can’t help but want to capture each moment and each smile.

Eun-sun zoomed in her camera and tried taking a shot of Dan-Han, but her eyes caught something unusual. It was a man manhandling a lady, roughly pulling her by her hand, but what was strange was that, they both looked familiar.

A-Yeong and... Ji-Tae?

She narrowed her eyes at them and subconsciously took steps towards them, but Dan-Han suddenly blocked her path.

“Are you okay?” He asked noticing the slight frown on her face.

Eun-sun nodded and looked behind him making him do the same, but the couple was gone. Her eyes darted around, but they were truly gone.

“Did you see someone familiar?” Dan-Han asked when she kept looking around confusedly.

Someone familiar? She thought she had, but that couldn’t be possible right? A-Yeong and Ji-Tae? What connections could those two have? She must have seen wrongly and after all it was later already.

She smiled at him and shook her head. Dan-Han passed her the ice-cream and looked at his watch.

“Come, it’s almost time.” He held her hand and pulled her forward.

Almost time for what?” She asked as she followed him.

“You’ll see.”

Dan-Han led her to the heart of the square and stood under the huge statue. Eun-sun looked at him when he looked his watch again, and before she could ask the bright lights went off causing a pitch darkness, but soon random twinkle mini light suddenly illuminated the place creating a romantic scene.

Eun-sun glanced at Dan-Han, but before she could say a word, loud sound of fireworks rupted out in the sky, displaying beautiful colours and pattern. Bystanders gasped and began taking pictures of the beautiful scene, not sure why something like this was happening, but it had created a beautiful atmosphere for the couples around.

He held her waist from behind so she could lean her head on his chest while she had a clear view.

She turned to look at him. “You did this for me?” She asked dumbfoundedly, but she was even more stunned when he nodded.

“How...I mean how did you...”

He smiled and kissed her slightly parted lips. “It’s the perks of having a rich man wrapped around your pinky.”

“Are you being cocky right now?”

“No.” He shook his head and pecked her lips again. “You deserve it all. You deserve the best and more, and I’ll do my best to always make you happy. I’ll do this everytime just to see you smile because you make me want to be my best for you.”
