Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 481: Not Telling Ji-Sun

Sena and Ki-Jun were filled with relief when Mi-Cha returned with Dan-Han and Eun-sun back to the hospital.

Sena’s heart was filled with joy at the sight of her daughter she tightly hugged her.

“Why did you run away?” Sena asked as she rubbed her hands down her hair and cupped her small cheeks.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know what to do.” Mi-Cha apologized between sobs.

Sena shook her head to stop her. “It’s okay, baby. You don’t have to apologize.” She told her. “There’s nothing to apologize for. None of this is your fault, okay? Don’t you run away or think anything funny. Do you hear me?” Sena questioned and Mi-Cha nodded.

She pelted her face with kisses, taking away the tears that were streaming down her eyes.

“It’s all going to be fine, honey. We’re going to make him pay for what he did to us, and you don’t have to think about him or anything else. We’re your family.” Sena assured her, and Mi-Cha nodded again, before turning to Ki-Jun who was staring at her from where he lied.

.....

“Come here,” Ki-Jun beckoned to her, and Mi-Cha slowly walked towards her. He held her hand and lovingly pat it.

“You’re my princess, always.” He told her and Mi-Cha nodded as she sniffed back the tears that threatened to break out of her eyes.

“And Eun-Sun too.” She said amid sobs, and Ki-Jun nodded looking over at his daughter who was in Dan-Han arms.

“Yes, and her too.” He echoed, his gaze still fixed on Eun-sun. He was still in awe that she was his daughter.

He still couldn’t believe it, and he didn’t think he’d ever be able to believe it. It was too much he to just wrap his head around. He was a grateful man.

Seeing that everything was looking great, Dan-Han felt pleased.

He looked at Eun-sun’s head leaning on his shoulder and the smile litting up her face, and he felt happy. He didn’t think there was anything that would make him happy or even happier than seeing her smile with happiness.

Nothing made sense unless she was involved.

He could still remember the first time he had seen her. She had looked like a lost puppy in need of his attention, but when she opened those eyes of hers and glared at him, he knew at a heartbeat that she was his and his alone.

He had gone through some thorns, but none of the things he had experienced measured up to the happiness she gave him.

“Are you happy?” He whispered into her ears while her parents spoke with Mi-Cha.

Eun-sun looked up at him and nodded. “Very.” She said with a smile, and Dan-Han couldn’t help but smile too.

“I’m happy you are.” He said.

“Honey, come here.” Ki-Jun’s voice called our to Eun-sun and Dan-Han nudged her forward to go to him.

He watched as they held her hand and smiled at her, and she smiled to.

Dan-Han didn’t know what was in her heart, but he guessed she was indeed happy. The gleam in her eyes were more than he had ever seen before.

Sena and Ki-Jun might not know but their daughter had gone through hell just to have this day, and he was happy she finally did, and he’d ensure it remained so.

“Where’s my father?” Dan-Han asked when he realized he hadn’t seen the troublesome man that had given birth to him in a while.

“He was called to the doctor’s office.” Ki-Jun informed and Dan-Han frowned.

‘Doctor’s office?’

“Why?” He asked.

“He said he had done some routine check while waiting earlier. He had gone for his x-ray results. He should be back soon.” Ki-Jun explained and Dan-Han sighed.

“Dan-Han, I have to say thank you for everything you’ve done for us. I’m really grateful.” Ki-Jun said with utmost gratitude.

Dan-Han sighed in embarrassment. He didn’t think there was any need for them to thank him repeatedly. “Uncle there’s no need for all this. You’re family, and I love your daughter dearly. It’s only right to do what makes her happy, and being with you does.”

Ki-Jun nodded as he glanced at Eun-sun who had a shy blush on her face, either due to his words or Dan-Han’s bold declaration of his love for her. He didn’t think he could appreciate Dan-Han enough.

“I’d be returning back to the country C this weekend.” Dan-Han suddenly announced and all eyes darted to him.

“Really? So soon? Why?” Sena was the first to ask. She looked displeased with the announcement, and so did Ki-Jun, and Dan-Han thought it was because they’ve both assumed he’d be taking their daughter with him, even though he’d love to.

A whole week without seeing her or holding her was going to be hell.

Dan-Han smiled to ease her heart. “It’s nothing serious. I just have something important to do at the company and I have to attend to it.”

“Oh!” Sena sighed.

“Will Eun-sun be coming with you?” Mi-Cha asked, instantly hooking her arm around Eun-sun to stake claims on her and her disapproval if that was what Dan-Han truly intended.

Eun-sun peered at him and he observed the conflicting yet longing look in her eyes. He smiled and looked at her parents who seemed like they were holding their breath in anxious wait for his answer.

Dan-Han’s smile widened as he shook his head. “No, I’m bringing her with me. I’ll be back in one week.” He told them, and they all breathed with relief.

He didn’t see the reason why they should be so nervous, when they could easily fly to country C, after all, they no longer had a reason to stay away from it. Country C had first been their home before the sad event happened.

Sena walked up to him and cupped his cheek. “We’re going to miss you, Dan-Han.” she kissed his cheek

Dan-Han lovingly smiled at her. “I’m going to miss you too.” He said, but his eyes shifted to Eun-sun with a silent declaration that he was going to miss her more.

“Hurry up, and come back soon.” Ki-Jun told him and nodded.

“Uncle there’s one more thing I’d like to discuss with you.” Dan-Han told him, and Ki-Jun looked at him with interest as he awaited him to say what he had in mind.

“It’s about Eun-sun.” He said, and they wondered what he wanted to say.

“What about her?” Ki-Jun asked.

“Can you not tell my father about her real identity? At least for now?” Dan-Han asked, and Ki-Jun frowned wondering why he’d make such a request.

“Why do you want to keep it from him? He’s your Father and my closest friend.” Ki-Jun told him. He didn’t understand why Dan-Han would make such a request, unless...

He stared at Eun-sun and observed the uncomfortable look on his face, and the moment he did, he deeply scowled.

“Don’t tell me that Ji-Sun doesn’t like my daughter?” He ferociously inquired.

“It’s not like-” Eun-sun wanted to find an excuse, but she trailed off. She regarded a stern look at Dan-Han as she wondered why he’d do that. This was only going to cause more troubles for them, especially if her father decided to confront Dan-Han’s father about it, but looking at him, she could tell he was amused by her father’s reaction, and had been expecting it.

He had something in his mind for his father, and she wondered what? Why was he always this mischievous and calculative?

Sena had also realized that Ki-Jun might not like her daughter also frowned. She turned to Eun-sun. “Honey, does Ji-Sun really not like you?”

“He...he...” Eun-sun stuttered, not sure of what to say.

“I’m going to talk to that father of yours!” Ki-Jun roared. “Who does he think he is? He doesn’t want my child? Fine! To hell with him! She doesn’t have to marry a Lee.” He declared and Eun-sun’s eyes widened in horror.

She wants to marry a Lee! Especially the idiotic one who was definitely playing some tricks in his head.

“But I want to-”

“Uncle you don’t have to worry about him. I’m sure he’d come around after next general meeting.”

“The shareholders meeting?” Ki-Jun cocked a brow. He didn’t understand what the shareholders meeting had to Ji-Sun not wanting his daughter for his son. And why were they having a meeting to have Dan-Han dismissed from the company.

“And why the meeting in the first place? I received a memo to attend the meeting. Is this why you’re going back?” Ki-Jun questioned. He was also a shareholder in PK corps. He had been among the first shareholders of the company. He had invested in it as form of support to a friend who was trying to do well for himself during their youthful days, and he had been surprised when he discovered they wanted to dismiss Dan-Han.

“Not entirely it, but yes.”

Ki-Jun scowled. “Something is wrong with Ji-Sun, and I have to see to it that it is resolved.”

“So, how’s this meeting going to make him change his mind about her?” Sena asked. She Wasn’t interested in convincing Ji-Sun to like her daughter, but it was obvious they both loved each other.

“Eun-sun is currently a shareholder at the company. Though she only owns a small number of it, I think that should be able to convince him that she’s doing well for herself.”

“She owns shares at your company?” Ki-Jun asked with shocked surprise, while Dan-Han nodded affirmatively.

They all looked at her Eun-sun with awe. “That’s beautiful honey.” Sena proudly smiled at Eun-sun, whose cheeked burned red.

“That’s it! Ji-Sun can do his worst for all I care. My daughter doesn’t need to convince him about her value or anything. I’ll sort him out myself. I won’t say anything to him, but he’s going to hear from me come that meeting, and you better tell not to come see him and quietly go back home.” Ki-Jun drawled.
