Pay With Your Heart

Chapter 233: Girlfriend Over Fiancee

“I’m sorry you had to experience that.” Dan-Han apologized to Eun-sun as they pulled over by the side of the road. He had stopped to get a bottle of water for her since the small lady was too impatient to get home and eat her noodles.

Eun-sun bobbed her up and down as she stuffed more food into her mouth. Dan-Han couldn’t help but chuckle at her funny she looked while she ate. She was eating greedily.

“Gourmet” Dan-Han snorted when she looked too engrossed in her food, while Eun-sun glared at him from the corner of her eyes before continuing her food. She’ll talk to him later after she was done eating her food, but for now the noodles were messing with a brain.

Dan-Han patiently waited for her as she ate. He wiped the sides of her mouth and cleaned her hand when she finished eating.

“You eat like a baby.” Dan-Han ed as he wiped the food stain off her gown.

“Are you complaining?” She cocked a brow at him in a daring tone. He chuckled as he leaned and placed a kiss on her lips.

“I’ll never complain. You’re my baby so I’m bound to take care of you.” He said as he kissed the back of her palm making Eun-sun to blush slightly. He was getting cheesy with words each day, but she liked it.

.....

Dan-Han grabbed her hands and held them in his, his eyes boring into hers, “Sweetheart, I’m really sorry about what happened at the house. I promise it will never happen again.” He promised her.

Flashing a small smile at him, she withdrew her right hand and caressed his cheek, “You don’t have to apologise. I’ve seen and experienced worst so you don’t have to feel bad.” Hearing those words made Dan-Han’s heart ache. Seen and experienced worst? He hated that she had seen such hardships and have been humiliated in the past. He felt like crushing every person that had ever done her wrong.

Noticing the sullen look forming on Dan-Han’s face, Eun-sun leaned in and pecked his lips. “You don’t have to look angry. I’m sure no one can ever hurt me like that again especially when I have you. And also you protected me well but you also scared me a little.” She told him.

Placing his hand over hers on his cheek he smiled, “You don’t have to be scared. Actually it’s me who should be scared of you.”

“How so?” Eun-sun asked with cocked brows.

“Because I have to. You’re such a big bully. How did you get to hit Mi-Ok?” He asked Inquisitively making Eun-sun shoot him a mock-suspicious look.

“You’re worried for your fiancee now?” She inquired making Dan-Han to chuckle amusedly. “I pick my girlfriend over my fiancee. She’s tougher and far more dangerous.” He teased while Eun-sun eyed him.

“So you’re scared I’ll beat you up and break her bones if you leave me?” She asked while Dan-Han nodded prompting Eun-sun to smack his hand of hers as she glared at him.

Dan-Han couldn’t stop himself from laughing as he grabbed her hand back, “You know that’s not true. You’re the best pick out there, every other woman is a backdrop.” He said making Eun-sun to glance at him with glimmering eyes as she tried to hide her flushed face.

“Okay tell me how you met Mi-Ok and traumatized her with your fiestiness.” He urged.

“I met her at a restaurant where I worked.” Eun-sun began to narrate what had happened on that day. How she had lost her job because of Mi-Ok and how he had knocked her down on that very day. Dan-Han listened with rapt attention while she spoke.

His brain lit up when he realized something and he inquired about the name of the restaurant which Eun-sun told him. She narrowed her brows when she heard mutter, “Interesting.”

“What’s interesting?” She curiously inquired. Eun-sun didn’t miss the way he was now staring at her. There was this weird feeling in his eyes as he stared at her, and it made her heart pound and flutter at the same time. It was as if all the love in the world was right there and were staring right at her.

Dan-Han leaned in and kissed her passionately. Eun-sun was surprised by the way he was kissing her, it was more passionate than before. She responded to the kiss and just when she was about to enjoy it, Dan-Han pulled away. Eun-sun was about to protest when he suddenly reclined his seat backward and he deft swoop he wrapped his hand around and lifted her up, placing her on his thighs so she was straddling him.

“Dan-Han what are you-” Eun-sun swallowed back the rest of her words as Dan-Han fiercely attacked her mouth, kissing her with no abandon. Eun-sun felt her head spin when Dan-Han kissed her rough and hard. He parted her lips and slipped his tongue into her mouth exploring the entirety of it. With their tongues in a tango, Dan-Han roamed his body around her body. Heat searing through their bodies. Eun-sun felt overwhelmed with emotions as she couldn’t with hold herself from gripping his hair, soft moans escaping her lips.

What was happening felt great, and her heart was swelling with a rollercoaster of emotions.

She sighed when Dan-Han pulled away and broke the kiss, but that feeling which she had seen was still in his eyes, they were both panting for breath.

He brushed some lock of hair hovering over face backward, tucking it behind her ears. His eyes intently and loving staring into hers so much it was piercing.

“Thank you ruining my date and coming into my life.” He said in a hoarse voice, making Eun-sun to look at him in stupefaction. She didn’t understand what he was saying. When had she ruined his date? She asked herself.

“I know I had been careless to hit you on that day, but that has been the best day of my life.”

Eun-sun smiled as she looked at him, “And I’m happy I strayed off that sidewalk to meet you.” It was crazy how they had met by an accident and how her pride of refusing help from people had entangled them together.

“I love you Lee Dan-Han. You’re my best bit of life.” She told him.

“And I love you too.” He replied kissing her lips again with a sweet smile gracing his lips.

“Okay tell me how I ruined your date?” That was something she still didn’t understand. He had to explain it to her.

He smiled charmingly, “Mi-Ok was my date, but I was running late until you happened.” He briefly explained to her. Eun-sun stared at him in surprise, her eyes growing as she rapidly blinked her eyes.

“You mean-”

“Yes.” Dan-Han replied making Eun-sun stunned. Now she understood why Mi-Ok hated her so much. She had a feeling she was going to see more of her soon.

Wait! then was she the one he was having dinner with on their second encounter? She had to be.

Eun-sun immediately asked him and Dan-Han concurred to it making her frown.

“And I haven’t been on a date with you.” She sulked making Dan-Han.

“I promised you a date honey, two dates. Believe me I’ll take you.” He assured her while she relunctantly nodded even though she didn’t know why they couldn’t go on one now. Was he making special preparations for it? Why? Were dates that difficult to arrange? She asked herself. She sighed in her mind, she’ll let him do whatever he wants to. If he had promised her then he’ll definitely take her.

After staying there for a while, hugging a and kissing each other, enjoying each other’s company, Dan-Han took Eun-sun around the city. He had told her earlier they had other things to do tonight and Eun-sun was amazed by the wonderful places he took her. She couldn’t believe such place existed. They had a work around a park and she made Dan-Han thrown coins into a wish pool. They had street night snacks, and Eun-sun had laughed heartily when Dan-Han refused to eat it. She had forced a portion in his mouth and she chuckled at how sour his face. For the first time in five years, Dan-Han took a bite of food that wasn’t made his chef or a closed one.

It was strange, but with Eun-sun urging him to he had no choice but to comply. It wouldn’t hurt right? He had asked himself.

Seeing Eun-sun laugh and giggle brought so much to his heart. The girl was his bundle of joy and he fight to keep it.

They were still having the time of their lives at the busy streets of the city enjoying everything that came with it, when Eun-sun abruptly stopped. She had seen something or rather she had seen someone. Someone familiar.

She turned around to look but whoever she thought she had seen was no longer there.

“What is it?” Dan-Han asked when he saw her strange actions.

Still looking around, Eun-sun replied, “I think I saw my father.”
