Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 129: Will You Like Me?

Dan-Han wasn’t really surprised when Eun-sun said ‘no’. He was the stupid one who tried to take the words of a drunk woman serious. He sighed at himself for trying to ever reason with her.

“Get in” He ordered.

“No” Eun-sun declared, vehemently shaking her head in a cute way. Dan-Han closed his eyes and exhaled deeply.

“Say please” Eun-sun stubbornly said. Dan-Han looked at her with narrowed eyes, at this moment he wasn’t sure if she was really truly drunk. Sometimes she was acting like she was and sometimes he could swear she was sober. He looked at her for a while and resignatedly sighed before saying, “Please.”

Eun-sun smile to herself sheepishly, she was pleased as punch with his compliance.

“Good boy” She nodded her head cutely as she smiled. Dan-Han looked at her incredulously and chuckled out. He had to admit that he was pleased to see her this way, all her actions were sort of cute, except the dangerous part when she had jumped off his arms and hurt In-Ha. She could have hurt herself, twisted her arm or something. He wasn’t worried for In-Ha who had suffered in the hands of the girl, he doesn’t mind if she hurts anybody as far as she doesn’t hurt herself he was okay. But inwardly he also knew he had to tame this little tigress before she kills someone.

He was about to say something when the stubborn girl spoke up first.

.....

“President Lee, why are you always cold, and mean? and.... and evil, and wicked.. and dangerous?” She asked him with drunken eyes, her lips forming a cute ‘o’ as she addressed Dan-Han with all the thesaurus of the word ‘bad’ while her body swayed since her feet were barely able to hold her up. The alcohol was taking more it’s hold on her.

Dan-Han gazed at her as she spoke. “You’re like, Ms Eun-sun come here” She mimicked his voice while she demonstrated with her hand as if beckoning on him to come.

“And then you’re like, Ms Eun-sun eat now, get in the car, carry my bag, clean my shoe” She continued mimicking his bold and deep voice. Dan-Han furrowed his brows at her in confusion. He was sure he didn’t talk that way and when had he ever asked her to clean his shoe or carry his bag? So she could lie when she was drunk. This girl was definitely a gangster, but a cute one he must confess. He patiently listened to her as she rambled on.

“And then you tower over me” She said that as she puffed her shoulders. Dan-Han was sure that was another attempt to mimick his posture.

“And then you look like you want to eat me, gobble me up, and I feel like hitting you and pulling your hair and kick you, but I can’t” She hissed out frustratedly.

He had always known she had always refrained herself down from jumping on him and giving him a shoulder flip just like the one In-Ha had suffered. It wasn’t something new. He remembered how she had looked at him on the day they met in house. She had that look that screamed, ‘If you touch me, I burst your balls!!’, but later he had seen her change. He saw her struggle not to look at him with much hostility, but deep down he knew she slit his throat if she was given an opportunity.

“Why?” Dan-Han couldn’t refrain himself from asking.

“Because I like your mother, I would marry her if I can, she’s the only person who has been so nice to me. But you’re not nice..tsk tsk” She waved a finger at him, as she lowered her head.

“So I should be nice?” Dan-Han found himself asking, even when he knows he shouldn’t be reasoning with her right now, especially when she looked like she was going to fall over anytime soon, and he was sure she wasn’t going to remember most of the things she had done tonight.

“Hmmm” She bobbed her head vigorously. “You should be nice. You should have a good cordial relationship with your staffs, and make them happy, because we are not” She resounded her last word with much intensity, indicating how unhappy they were. Advocate for the maltreated staffs of PK Corps.

“And will you like me back if I’m nice?” Dan-Han stupidly asked again, his brow cocked at her. Don’t blame him from wanting to know, even if it’s from a drunken woman. But didn’t they say people were more vulnerable when they were drunk? Maybe this was what he needed to get through to her. A drunk Eun-sun might be more reasonable than a sober one, he thought.

Eun-sun lifted her head up to look at him. She blinked her eyes slowly, her kids were becoming too heavy to lift. She opened her mouth to say something, her actions made Dan-Han anxious as he found himself impatiently waiting for her answer which of course would be unreliable, but he still wanted to hear it. But what she said next made him want to pinch her hard.

“Mr Lee have you four heads?” She asked sleepily as she struggled to remain standing but failed at it, because the next minute her body swayed to the side, but Dan-Han was quick to catch her with his left hand, making her fall limply in his arm.

Dan-Han sighed as he looked down at her face, her hair was covering it. He slowly brushed it off her face and looked at her, to see her sleeping.

“Silly girl” He muttered softly as he pulled her up, opened the door of the passenger seat and placed in it. He pushed off the strand of her hovering over face, buckled her beat, reclined her seat and went to his side of the car after he closed the door. ????????????????????????????. C????ｍ

It was at this moment that he regretted sending his chaffeur he after dropping at the club. If he had been here, he’d been seating with Eun-sun at the back seat so she could lie well. It seems he was always taking her home drunk.

He paid her one last look before revving the car back to life, and zoomed off into the night. Dan-Han had not driven more than 10 minutes when he heard a whimpering sound. He thought he had imagined it but then he heard another. He turned his head to look at the girl by his side who had a deep frown look on her face and her cheek was redder than it were minutes ago.

A frown appeared on his face when he noticed she was clenching her stomach. He instantaneously pulled over and unbuckled his seat belt. He leaned over and touched her forehead to fell her temperature, but it was normal.

“Eun-sun” He called to wake her, but she wasn’t responsive, she was still under the influence of alcohol, but her hand was tightly clenching her stomach. She was obviously in pain, but why? He didn’t know.

He hurriedly picked up his phone and dialled Jae-Hyun’s number, his heart was suddenly picking up pace. After the first ring which Jae-Hyun didn’t pick, he was almost tempted to take her to the hospital which was far from their current location, but Jae-Hyun finally picked.

“Hey”

“I think she’s in pain” Dan-Han spat out in a tensed and nervous tone.

......

Back at the club.

Ji-Sang was still sitted beside Hei-Ran who was lamenting and soloquising about her singles life and the possibility of being alone, while Ji-Sang tried to listen to her even though his head was filled with the word Dan-Han had said earlier.

Was he really Eun-sun’s boyfriend? Ji-Sang was finding it really difficult to come to terms with that. His heart was hurting in a thousand places as he sat there.

“Ji-Sang do you think I should run away from home? Maybe move to another country and start life there?” Hei-Ran asked thoughtfully, snapping Ji-Sang out of his thoughts. He turned to look at her and asked, “Why?”

“Because I can’t keeping living in the same country with mother. She’ll sell me off to any man who’s ready to get married” She hissed sadly.

“Don’t bother thinking about it. I’m sure she’ll hunt you down and surprise you with a location wedding wherever you are and a way bill husband” Ji-Sang noted. He knew Hei-Ran’s mom well enough to know she was a marriage fanatic and would never rest till both her daughters were married.

Hei-Ran sighed frustratedly, when she realized Ji-Sang was right. Her mother was relentless.

“You’re right. I wish I can just find a good man and get married, and stop worrying about mother or about dying single” She hissed again. “I need more alcohol”

“No you need to go home” Ji-Sang said frustratedly. This wasn’t how he had planned to spend his last night with his besties, but they had both come with their personal problems, and have to return home drunk. But thankfully he had the opportunity to see them. Atleast he got to see Eun-sun one last time.

“I don’t want to go home. I don’t have work, and I don’t want to go to work” She stubbornly said.

“Come on, you have to go” Ji-Sang said as he pulled her from the couch and put her hand around his shoulder.

“But I want to stay” She cried.

“So you can complain about getting married and have more drinks?” He asked while he nodded her head.

“Then you really have to go” Ji-Sang firmly told her.

“You’re a bad friend Ji-Sang, and I’ll tell Eun-sun about it. That you kicked me out of your party because you were stingy with drinks” She accused. Ji-Sang chuckled when he heard her.

“And I’ll miss you too”

“Well I won’t” She told him, pouting a moth sadly, while Ji-Sang helped her out, her head leaning on Ji-Sang’s shoulder.

They had only stepped out of the when Hei-Ran stopped walking and looked at the figure standing in front of her.

“Boss?”
