Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 176: She’s Worth It

Jinhai’s office.

Jinhai looked at the girl sitting in front of him with a stink eye.

“Where’s my card?” He asked in a cold tone.

Ga-Yeon rolled her eyes at him when he coldly asked for his card.

“Bro can stop being stingy? I didn’t even use much. What if I had really gone shopping? Small change I spent you’re already looking at me like I stole your money?” She hissed, not making any attempt to give him back his card.

Jinhai didn’t know how to look at his sister right now. He has been receiving countless debit alerts on his phone for the past few days and she claims she hasn’t gone shopping? So what were they debiting him for?

“Just give me back my card!” He growled at her. Ga-Yeon sighed defeatedly and with a grumpy face, she opened her bag and reluctantly brought out his card.

.....

“Stingy” She hissed under her breath as she slides the card towards him.

“Whatever” He rolled his eyes as he picked up this card.

“No wonder you’re not making any progress with her” She hissed again but Jinhai just ignored her.

“Trickster” Jinhai murmured loud enough to her hearing.

“I didn’t trick you okay? I helped you. If I hadn’t given you that advice you wouldn’t have been here. So be grateful” She snapped back.

Yes, she was the one who had given her highly dense brother the idea of tricking Hei-Ran into dating him. After that kiss at the club, he had called her and told her about it the next morning. And with her banging head thanks to the hangover, she had hurried to his house after Hei-Ran had left, and she gave him the brilliant idea. It had worked for her. If she hadn’t tricked that stupid boyfriend of hers, they’d probably be stuck on the friend zone area forever.

“Well, she doesn’t look like she’s falling for me yet.” He snapped.

“Well, I don’t blame her. Even I won’t fall for you. No offence bro, but you’re not romantic enough and you’re too dense. You’ve been single your whole life that you’ve turned rusty and you don’t know how to behave with a woman” She snorted, making Jinhai roll his eyes at her. He had admitted that there was some truth to what she said.

“I don’t blame you” He hissed. Ga-Yeon eyed him before opening her bag.

“Here’s what you asked for,” She said as she brought out an invitation card from her bag.

“So it’s really on sale?” Jinhai asked as he picked up the invitation card.

“Yes, it is. And I’m sure she’ll like it.” Ga-Yeon said.

“I don’t know if she’ll like it, but I’ve always wanted to buy something for her. If she shows some interest in it, I’ll surely get it”

“So what if she doesn’t show any interest in it?” Ga-Yeon inquisitively inquired.

“I’ll still get it” He replied.

“Well, you should know it’ll cost you a fortune” Ga-Yeon pointed out just in case he had forgotten the value of what he had in mind.

Lifting his eyes away from the card to look at her, he said, “She’s worth it and more”

“I’m sure she is” Ga-Yeon smiled. This was the first time she was seeing her brother like this. He has always been so serious working hard to make a living for them. Years ago their family name had no solid root in society, but Jinhai had worked so hard for them. Not just financially but he had made a name for them and now they were among the elites in the city. Now it was their turn to support him in finding his own happiness.

“Grandpa’s birthday is on Friday, bring her. Everyone is expecting to see her.” Ga-Yeon told him as she stood up to her feet, while Jinhai nodded.

“Bro, can I get some money?” Ga-Yeon asked.

Jinhai eyed her from head to toe, “I thought your boyfriend was a rich heir? Go beg him for money and you work so why take mine?”

Ga-Yeon couldn’t help but eye him, “Just say, I won’t give you, because I’m stingy. No need asking many questions ” She shot him a mock-glare before leaving his office, while Jinhai shook his head.

She was just too troublesome.

....

Ga-Yeon was about to step into the elevator when she caught sight of Hei-Ran walking towards her. She smiled when she saw how beautiful she was. She had only seen her once but that was enough to recognize her. Who she could not recognize the face of the only woman her brother fancies. Her brother had actually done well. He sure has eyes for good things.

“Sister Hei-Ran” Ga-Yeon greeted with a pleasant smile etched on her face. Hei-Ran paused when she saw the person who had called her name. She squinted her eyes as she tried to remember when and where she had seen her before.

Ga-Yeon chuckled when she saw the look on Hei-Ran’s face. It was obvious she was trying to remember her.

“Seems sister-in-law does not recognize me. It’s me Ga-Yeon, Jinhai’s younger sister” She reminded her. Hei-Ran widened her eyes when she said that. Of course, she was the crazy sister she had seen at the club. She felt embarrassed when she finally remembered who she was.

“I’m sorry. Pardon my manners” Hei-Ran apologized.

“Don’t apologise, it’s normal to forget, after all, we only met once” Ga-Yeon stated.

“And you look really beautiful, no wonder my brother can’t stop talking about you,” Ga-Yeon said with a sweet smile. Hei-Ran’s brows arched when she heard that.

‘He was talking about her? Why was he talking about her? Weren’t their ‘relationship’ supposed to be a secret thing? Why the hell was he telling people about it?’ She yelled in her head.

Ga-Yeon smiled when she saw the look on her face. She took a step closer to Hei-Ran and said, “Sister-in-law thank you for agreeing to date my brother and saving him from dying alone. You don’t know how we all have been worried about him, but now we are all so happy” She giggled.

“I’ll be the best sister-in-law, and don’t worry mother will be a good mother-in-law too” Ga-Yeon added.

Hei-Ran felt like the earth should swallow her. How did things get like this? Sister-in-law? mother-in-law? What was she supposed to do now? Nod her head or tell her they were not actually dating, and she was only observing a punishment for kissing her brother? Jinhai would kill her!

This was crazy! Everything was CRAZY!!
