Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 184: Make Her Happy

In-Ha looked at the file that had just been delivered to him from the police station. He had pulled a few strings to lay his hands on them.

He didn’t know why he was doing this, but he felt like he should. He had seen her cry at the hospital the other day and that memory has been etched in his mind. He didn’t think he wanted to see her cry like that ever again. He let out a mock-chuckle when he realized how much seeing her in tears or in pain affected him. Remembering how he felt when she had jumped out of his car that night and he wasn’t able to reach her, and also that time when he had seen her on the hospital bed, those feelings were like stabs to him. He felt like he wanted to take her place and not let anything happen to her. He didn’t know why he felt this way towards her, but he couldn’t help it, and every day he discovers just how deep he feels towards her.

There was once a time when he felt this way for someone else. She was the reason for his life then. He had loved her unconditionally and would have traded places with her in a heart’s beat had the need called for it. But that someone was the reason why he was this broken and damaged. Why he had slept with so many girls he couldn’t even remember. She was the reason why he didn’t want to get emotionally involved with any woman. But now he doesn’t know what he was feeling anymore. Eun-sun had ignites something in him, he doesn’t know what it is, but it was definitely something. Something he didn’t want to lose.

To him, she was different. She had acted differently with him, like he was just some ordinary person. She had treated him like he didn’t matter. She had never wanted him for any day but somehow he wanted her. He wasn’t sure of what he was feeling in his heart, but one thing was certain, he wanted to make her happy, and he was going to do just that.

With that in mind, In-Ha picked up his phone and dialed a number. After one ring the person picked up.

“Mr Kang?” The person at the other side of the phone asked in a surprised tone.

“Yes it’s me” In-Ha replied. Jake understood the man’s reason for being surprised. He hasn’t called him in ages, since he found the reason behind his mother’s death.

.....

“I’m surprised you called. Is there anything I can help you with?” The man asked in a polite and excited tone.

“Yes, there is”

“What is it? No matter what it is I’ll help you” The man firmly declared, making In-Ha’s lips curve upward.

“I want you to help me find someone. Come over to the house I’ll give you the details” In-Ha informed him.

“Okay, I’ll be there” He replied before disconnecting the call. He looked at the name on the file.

“Park Myung-soo” He softly called out.

In-Ha wondered what could have made a man leave his family, and had not returned since then. And he also wondered what could have happened to him. He should be alive and well or else he didn’t know how Eun-sun would feel if something contrary happens to him.

The girl has been hopeful for ten years, and he just wished he wouldn’t get to see her cry again.

...

Few hours later

After In-Ha finished speaking with the private investigator and had handed over everything he had gotten from the police, he decided to pay Eun-sun a surprise visit at work. He had a grin on his face as he sauntered towards the door. He thought about taking her somewhere to relax for a while, before taking her home.

The moment In-Ha opened the door, the smile on his face froze and a dark look quickly replaced it, because standing in front of him was one of the persons he hated most. He looked at her hand hanging in the air. She was about to knock the door when he opened it.

“Hello” She greeted with a sultry smile on her face, as she slowly brought her hand down.

“Mrs Kang” Jinhai said in a very cold tone.

“In-Ha-”

“Master Kang, is the right name” In-Ha told her in a dour tone. She opened her mouth to say something but In-Ha spoke up first.

“Ji-A, what are you doing here?” He asked in an angry tone. Hearing him call her name like that she smiled, while she bit her lower lips as she looked at him seductively.

“I came to see you” She replied, her smile not leaving her face.

“I don’t want to see you. You shouldn’t be seen in your stepson’s house who’s also a grown ass man. You don’t want people to talk about you so please leave” In-Ha told her. His tone was harsh and unfriendly.

Ji-A took a step closer to him, her hands slowly moving towards him, “I don’t care. I just want to see you”, She winced when In-Ha harshly smacked her hand off him.

“Get lost” He spat out. He was about to close the door when Ji-A losed the belt of the trench coat in one swift move, revealing the sexy lingerie she was wearing inside.

“What are you doing?! Are you mad?!” In-Ha roared angrily when she did that, but she didn’t flinch. Rather she tried to pounce on him, but he pushed her away.

“You’re crazy. If you think I’ll be moved by the same thing I’ve seen and handled five years ago and what my father has been pleasuring himself with, then you’re more stupid than I thought” He looked at her with so much anger, disappointment and irritation in his eyes. ????????????????????аd. ᴄom

Ji-A felt embarrassed when In-Ha snapped at her like that, but she didn’t relent, “In-Ha, i know you want this, and I want you to. I want you back. I still love you and I know you still love me too. Just-” Her words trailed when In-Ha burst out into a fit of mocking laughter.

“Want you? Love you? You love me?” He scoffed. “You should hear yourself talk. You sound insane, and I don’t want you neither do I love you. You...you disgust me! Get lost!” He roared. He pushed her to the side and walked out from the door.

“In-Ha wait!” Ji-A called out from behind him. She tied her belt back and ran after him. Stopping in front of him, she said, “Wait, hear me out okay” She begged, as she tried to hold his hand but he moved his hand away from her.

Ji-A sighed when he did that. She heaved a sigh. “In-Ha I’m sorry, I’m truly sorry. I never meant to hurt you. I was just stupid at the time. Please forgive me. I want you back. Please take me back”
